These are the things people try to advise and suggest to me. I appreciate your thoughts for me, I just don't appreciate those who assume I'm naive, ignorant or pretentious. I really hate when people think that I think I am better then them. As John Lennon sang, I'm just Happy watching the wheels go round...
Do you believe in Jesus? Jesus can guide you through your toughest times, you should go to church.
-This is the United States of America. We have resources all around us. This is not Africa, I am not a starving child in a war zone. I respect Jesus, but I'm sure those people over there need him more than I do. I got food in my stomach, my own roof, feet I can walk with and a capable mentality. Anyone who complains in any high standard of living country is a lazy spoiled brat.
You should get a car
-Nah... Gas + Insurance + Maintenance + Payments + DMV fees is not something I'm interested investing in. All that money that people put into a car is money that goes into my savings account.
You should mortgage a house
-I'm not planning to live in CA forever. There's a huge world to see, and I plan on seeing it when I'm older. I don't need anything tying me down, cause I'm not going to die an old man in this state.
If you don't invest your money, you're just wasting it
-No one lives forever, and no one takes anything with them when they die. I'm here to enjoy life the best I can in the way I see fit.
You should never abuse Alcohol and never Smoke pot. People in life get lost and the church can help you find your way out. You should help your mom out by paying bills and quit gang-banging. Jesus saves
-I have never drank, never smoked, never smoked pot, I don't live with my mom, and I'm not a gang-banger. (This church solicitor was really pathetic.)
Join the Army, Marines, Navy, ETC.
-No, but I do respect those who volunteer.
Thy shall not kill, remember?
No, it's Thy shall not Murder
-To me, a life is a life. A choice is a choice. A Murderer is a Killer, and I'm not the one choosing to pull any triggers.
That's not what the Bible meant
-I respect your beliefs now respect mine.
Why don't you try to take your projects mainstream
-I like my simple life. And I'm not a conformed Sell Out
Why don't you join a trade? You can make lots of money
-I get by fine and I've accumulated plenty of money over the years to keep me stable. I don't want a 40 hour work week in something I'm not interested in that will suck up my life till I'm 65
But you'll be making lots of Money
-Money isn't everything
What about your kids? Don't you want to move out of your mom's
-Kids are Awesome, but I don't got any. I don't live with my Mom, I got my own place.
Get an Ipod
-CDs are the highest of lost-less form of media you can get other than records. I like to actually listen to the bass-line when I experience music. I also stream albums free on the internet.
Get a Smart-Phone
-I'm not a phone guy, so why would I spend hundreds on something I will probably only use twice a month.
It does other stuff, like finding clubs and telling directions
-I don't club and the sun sets in the west
You should drink beer
-Reminds me of piss
You'll get use to it
-I'm not going to get use to piss
Drink liqueur then
-Reminds me of Gasoline
You're boring
(This person was put in jail for drinking and driving and again for dealing)
You should try weed
-I've nothing against weed, but no I have no interest
Weed opens your mind and relaxes you
-If you need weed to open your mind, then you lack imagination. I can get relaxed by biking cross country miles away from home. Seeing the world relaxes me
You should fuck as many bitches as possible. You're a pretty boy and I've seen girls check you out
-How bout no. I got rings for a reason.
You should stop thinking you're better than everyone else
-Everyone is only human. We have the ability to diverse ourselves by committing the actions we choose to take. We are only mortal temporary beings. We only can be fully functional until we are in wheel chairs pooping in adult diapers. 300 years from now, no one will care what we did as individuals, just as we don't care what our ancestors did before us.
Simply put: We are only human and we all have to die someday.
Those who think they are better than others will only Die like the rest of us someday, and we won't take anything with us. How can I be better than others, when I'm only just as human.
You're Depressing / Negative
-I only realize the fact that we are only mortal temporary beings. Which is the best reason not to waste my life with things I am not interested in, and live happy the best I can in the way I see fit.
And I am Happy for who I am, aren't you as well?
EVERYBODY IS HUMAN AND HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE THE WAY THEY WILL. COMPARING YOURSELF TO BE BETTER THAN OTHERS IS ONLY PROVING YOUR A VAIN, ANIMUS, ETHNOCENTRIC ASSHOLE WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO.
I JUDGE PEOPLE BY ACTIONS AND WHAT THEY SAY. I'M JUST GETTING MORE RICH WHILE THEY ARE CHOOSING TO WASTE THEIR LIVES WITH STUPID ACTIONS.
YES MONEY IS IMPORTANT, AND I DON'T FLASH IT AROUND OR USE IT TO BUY MEANINGLESS MATERIALS JUST LIKE A VAIN GIRL IN A DRESS. I ONLY USE MY RICHES TO STABILIZE MY LIFE AND WILL RETURN TO SEEING THE WORLD AGAIN WHEN I'M MUCH OLDER
LIVE YOUR DREAMS KIDS AND NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS
How can I be boring when I am accomplishing and having fun with my passions in life? Are you living your Passions?
