Naughty Good Or Nice?

i am very proud to announce that i no longer stay out late.
nowadays i usually sleep before 2, but more often before 1.

i still go out, but i send my ass home early so i can get rested for the next day. am i getting old? or am i actually growing up? some people never grow up, no matter how old they get.

i'm actually quite surprised at myself for this quick transition. it may only be temporary, but still, it's a big difference from what i'm used to. i usually stay out past 3 or 4, and a lot of the time i don't even go home for the night. now, i find myself grow tired if i stay out past 12. maybe i am just getting old...

for the past few days i've been sleeping extra early because of my sore throat, and it's already getting better! it's making good progress to heal completely for the show on Wednesday night :)


so i've been doing some thinking about what kind of person i am.
the other night, the topic came up between Justine and i about how certain people in the world are NICE people, and others are GOOD people, while a percentage are actually both. i've always believed that i was both nice and good, but there are times when i doubt myself. (i know, that's ridiculous right? haha)

i've always found myself ready and willing to be there to make people feel better, even people whom i do not know very well. whenever someone has a problem, i get a primal instinct to pull him/her away from feeling low and to instill a more positive perspective inside his/her head. i do seemingly everything (appropriate) i can do to help.
so the question i have for myself is this: are you really a nice person, or are you simply drawn to people with problems? do you use the fact that you can brighten someone else's day in order to feel good about yourself?

i personally don't believe that i use helping people as good karma, or as a way of making me like myself better. i believe i genuinely care about the people in the world, and perhaps helping others with their "problems" is just easier than traveling to Uganda to save the invisible children. catch my drift a little?



i am a good person -- all the time.
i am a nice person -- most of the time :)
