Inertia is just as destructive as recklessness. Regarding high school sports: unless you're good enough to start, or at least play regularly, you're wasting your time and probably ignoring whatever your real passion or talent is. That having been said, you really have to find some physical activity you enjoy before you start choosing and paying for your own meals. The smaller the city, the more quickly attractive, intelligent and/or level-headed women typically get hitched; so make your move. Figure out early on if you can live without a big house, a new car every five years, new clothes, or fast food. Losing weight and getting out of debt are the hardest things you will ever do. You can get more poontang at church and make more money giving to charity than anyone lets on. And see if you can live without TV, movies or pop music. By the time you find out what good taste is, your brain just won't allow you to enjoy it. You have to force yourself to start watching plays, reading classic literature and going to symphonies, ballets and museums in the hopes that some of it will just rub off. Try to learn as many ******* foreign languages and musical instruments as you can before you're 25. That's just free p***y, right there.
This is so true. A village idiot I used to work with at my first real job who loved to BS and take credit for others' work while buddying up to higher-ups is now a CEO of 500-person company. I still chuckle when I read an interview of him I saw online because the man can still flat-out BS better than any person I have met in the 15-16 years since I worked with him.
1. Unrequited love is the way of the world - People that you like and admired by are not as nearly as interested in you as you might think or want to them to be. Just as, the people who have a crush on you or want to date you, aren't necessarily attractive or interesting to you. Almost none of them start or end like they do in the movies. 2. Your parents/adults don't know everything or are necessarily right on every issue. - I learned this one through the years from being in grade school all the way through today. I've turned my head at certain situation, not only involving myself, but other kids growing up. Sometimes, I often said that was not fair. 3. Hot Bubble Baths Awesome. 4. People generally don't give s#it about what you look like or what you wear. If you are not on TV, in a fashion show, or etc. Most people do not care how you look, especially if it doesn't benefit them. 5. Almost nothing is free. - Your parents weren't lying. 6. Sex isn't always enjoyable. 7. Koala are not accurately portrayed in cartoons. - They can have a really nasty attitude.
strange, but my sentiment is the exact opposite, concerning "SOME" drugs. And it further stems in to the point of not following everything society dictates, its your ****ing life, if you can't grant yourself the pleasure of self realization life isn't worth living.
i would rep you a million times if i could, one of the best posts i've read to date and going in my sig. And If someone had in fact told me this it would have benefited me in more ways than you can imagine before having to do it myself
Getting to where I am now would have been SO MUCH easier had I actually STUDIED in college instead of just drinking and partying. It sure was fun, though.
Most of the history and politics you were taught in school was incomplete, inaccurate, or outright nationalist propaganda.
Rep for Truth. Time is relative. When you're 10, for example, a year seems like forever. That's because it's 1/10 of your life. When you're 40, a year whizzes by like a flash of lightning. A year is merely 1/40 of your life experience. Virtually nothing. 365 days =/= 365 days Enjoy every single moment. Oh...and getting old actually hurts.
Christ, this is true. I realized just how old I was when it occurred to me that my regular night cap as of late is glucosamine and earl grey. #gettingoldsucks
- nobody is perfect, no matter how much you want them to be or think that they are. your parents aren't perfect, but they did the best they could. - generosity is important and rarely remembered with regret. - sing or play an instrument. - the seeking counts more than the finding, and the trying counts more than the doing (credit to Lloyd Alexander for that gem). - the world is a big place. go see it. - food is really important. most of our important activities, events and memories involve food.
You can rest easy knowing that no one was really taking it in anyway. We were just memorizing dates. A few more: - The movie Grease was full of sexual innuendo. - The song YMCA wasn't really about the place you learned to play basketball at as a kid. - Your parents were lying when they said "you can do anything you put your mind to." I wanted to replace Neil Peart in Rush, but even after making that the sole focus of my high school years, it never happened. - My parents sacrificed a LOT to make sure I had a somewhat happy childhood. I mean a LOT.
It all depends on how you look at it ... If you play the Rodney King tape backwards, it shows the police helping King up and sending him on his way. Bill Hicks - RIP
- Sarcasm is the cheapest form of humor and not to be relied upon. - Cynicism leads nowhere. (and sometimes sends you backwards) - Your parents/authority figures are just making this s*** up as they go. - Material things can't bring you happiness. - Quality beats quantity every single time.
