Fuck All the Discrete Shit

I'm so lucky that the wisest person in my life is my mom. Not everyone is lucky enough to have parents who are involved AT ALL in their life

We Don't Need No Protection

It's easy to say that you're an original, non-conformist who isn't afraid to like things that aren't mainstream or popular. But if the things you do like are widely accepted, then you really aren't taking much of a risk.

It takes more courage to openly admit that you love Soulja Boy than it takes to admit that you love Slum Village. Admitting to loving Soulja Boy will get you absolutely slandered in some circles. I can't think of any circles that openly hate Slum Village

I Can't Do This No No No

The person who is most eager to speak first in a conversation/debate is often the one who is less knowledgable on the situation. A real wise and knowledgable person is content to let the other person eagerly spill their cards first, because they know that they really have control of the situation. The person who can't wait to get their thoughts out on the matter knows that they need to get their words out first because they need to show just how much they know. The more knowledgable person will wait it out and listen to the other persons' entire spiel, confident that they can respond in a smart and logical manner.

I often see this in sports talk. Whenever I'm in a conversation about basketball, there's inevitably one person in the convo who HAS to be the first one to speak, eager to display just how much they know about the game. They'll go on and on for 5 minutes, talking about this and that. They end their rant, content that everyone in the conversation knows that they know a lot about basketball.

I'm on the receiving end, listening without interruption, noting each talking point that interests me. I sit there, confident that not only do I understand the point they're making, but I also know the counter argument. Most of the time, I can't even get 10 words into the counter argument before the other person decides that they've had enough; they don't want to hear what I have to say so they interrupt my train of thought and make some small point. I sit there, astonished by the fact that they were so adamant about me not making my point that they had to stop me. I sense that I struck a nerve, so I decide not to pursue any further. Now we're both sitting there, awkward as fuck

Climb a Mountain But Tell No One You Did It

Everyone accomplishes great things. However, not everyone handles those accomplishments the same ways.

I think it's best to accomplish great things and not tell a soul that you did it. One shouldn't do things with the goal of telling everyone about it; instead, one should accomplish great things and tell no one. Do things for the sake of doing them, not to tell other people.

You got an A on your midterm? That's great! You deserve to reward yourself.

The way you reward yourself is important, though. I think it's best to be humble about it and act like you do it all the time, instead of needing everyone to know how great you are because you did something great today. Instead of telling everyone, tell your best friend. Tell your girlfriend. Don't tell everyone on facebook so you can get recognition. An average person will need everyone to recognize and acknowledge their greatness; an excellent person will receive that recognition without having to tell everyone to acknowledge them

And It Don't Stop

I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I wish I was ODing on cocaine or some other hardcore drug and just flipping the fuck out. I'd be bumping some crazy, sadistic sounding music. Sort of like the ending to Requiem for a Dream. My life is too structured sometimes
