life lessons

yes i am still "young" but in a few years i have learned some things that if you havent learned them on your own you should hear what i have to say and it will make your life a bit easier


1. dont move to rhode island, it will suck out your soul. if you are born there, either you are immune, or you already dont have one
2. if you are dating someone, know that they are a separate person and you will never be able to change them, and if you try it will only be counter-productive, unless they are weak-willed then its just immoral
3. if you are younger than 25 for gods sake dont get engaged, dont even look at rings.
4. if you are younger than 25 dont even think about having a baby, i have never seen this work out, unless you are rich and have nothing finacial to worry about, get an abortion, before they become human. you have the option, use it.
5. if you break up with someone, you obviously did it for a reason, why make the same mistake over and over again? instead of living in the past and focusing where you have been, look to the future and where you could be.
6. if you choose to do illegal drugs, be smart, dont drive around with a bunch of shit with you, take only what you need for the day, and if you get pulled over, know the chance is always there to get searched, so shove that shit in your pants.

add yours

 

There he goes waxing philosophical. You make one coment on being wise beyond your years and off he goes getting all crazy. Funny. Ok, here is mine.

Don't eat the yellow snow.

Only the strong survive.

 

thats not true

there are crutches everywhere, we are killing natural selection

 

Dude i will add some of my own when im the mood, deffo. But for now, something i found a while ago and enjoyed alot:

Advice to Young Men from an Old Man
1. Don’t pick on the weak. It’s immoral. Don’t antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid.
2. Don’t hate women. It’s a waste of time
3. Invest in yourself. Material things come to those that have self actualized.
4. Get in a fistfight, even if you are going to lose.
5. As a former Marine, take it from me. Don’t join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people’s economic or political interests.
6. If something has a direct benefit to an individual or a class of people, and a theoretical, abstract, or amorphous benefit to everybody else, realize that the proponent’s intentions are to benefit the former, not the latter, no matter what bullshit they try to feed you.
7. Don’t be a Republican. They are self-dealing crooks with no sense of honor or patriotism to their fellow citizens. If you must be a Republican, don’t be a “conservative.” They are whining, bitching, complaining, simple-minded self-righteous idiots who think they’re perpetual victims. Listen to talk radio for a while, you’ll see what I mean.
8. Don’t take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don’t want to come off as cynical.
9. You’ll spend your entire life listening to people tell you how much you owe them. You don’t owe the vast majority of people shit.
10. Don’t undermine your fellow young men. Mentor the young men that come after you. Society recognizes that you have the potential to be the most power force in society. It scares them. Society does not find young men sympathetic. They are afraid of you, both individually and collectively. Law enforcement’s primary purpose is to suppress you.
11. As a young man, you’re on your own. Society divides and conquers. Unlike women who have advocates looking out for them (NOW, Women’s Study Departments, government, non-profit organizations, political advocacy groups) almost no one is looking out for you.
12. Young men provide the genius and muscle by which our society thrives. Look at the Silicone Valley. By in large, it was not old men or women that created the revolution we live. Realize that society steals your contributions, secures it with our intellectual property laws, and then takes credit and the rewards where none is due.
13. Know that few people have your best interests at heart. Your mother does. Your father probably does (if he stuck around). Your siblings are on your side. Everybody else worries about themselves.
14. Don’t be afraid to tell people to “Fuck off” when need be. It is an important skill to acquire. As they say, speak your piece, even if your voice shakes.
15. Acquire empathy, good interpersonal skills, and confidence. Learn to read body language and non-verbal communication. Don’t just concentrate on your vocational or technical skills, or you’ll find your wife fucking somebody else.
16. Keep fit.
17. Don’t speak ill of your wife/girlfriend. Back her up against the world, even if she’s wrong. She should know that you have her back. When she needs your help, give it. She should know that you’ll take her part.
18. Don’t cheat on your wife/girlfriend. If you must cheat, don’t humiliate her. Don’t risk having your transgressions come back to her or her friends. Don’t do it where you live. Don’t do it with people in your social circle. Don’t shit in your own back yard.
19. If your girlfriend doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That’s what girlfriends are for.
20. Don’t bother with “emotional affairs.” They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That’s the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they’re probably fucking someone else.
21. Becoming a woman’s friend and confidant is not going to get you into an intimate relationship. If you haven’t gotten the girl within a reasonably short period of time, chances are you won’t ever get her. She’ll end up confiding to you about the sexual adventures she’s having with someone else.
22. Have and nurture friendships with women.
23. Realize that love is a numbers game. Guys fall in love easily. You’re going to see some girl and feel like you’ll die if you don’t get her. If she rejects you, move on to the next one. It’s her loss.
24. Don’t be an internet troll. Got out and live life. There is not a cadre of beautiful women advertising on Craigslist to have NSA sex with you. Beautiful women don’t need to advertise. The websites that advertise with attractive women’s photos and claims of loneliness are baloney. All they want is your money and your personal information so that they can market to you. The posts on Craigslist by young “women” seeking NSA sex, and asking for a picture are just a bunch of gay troll pic collectors. This is especially true if the post uses common gay lexicon like “hole” as in “fuck my hole” or seeks “masculine” men, or uses the word cock (except in the context of “Don’t send a cock shot.”) There are women on Craigslist. They are easily recognizable by their 2-5 paragraph postings. Most are in their 30's or older.
25. When you become a man in full, know that people will get in your way. People who are attracted to you will somehow manage to step in your path. Gay guys will give you “the look.” Old people will somehow stumble in front of you at the worst time. Don’t get frustrated. Just step aside and go about your business. Know that these are passive aggressive methods to get you to acknowledge their existence.
26. Don’t gay bash. Don’t mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It’s none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity.
27. If your gay, admit it to yourself, your parents, your friends and society at large. Be prepared to get harassed. See rule 14. If someone threatens you or assaults you, call the cops. Have them arrested. You have no obligation to self sacrifice because of who you are. As a gay person, you’ll have more social freedom than straight men. Use it to protect yourself. Be prepared to get out of Dodge if your orientation makes your life unbearable. Move to San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, or New Orleans. You’ll find a welcoming community there.
28. Don’t be a poser. Avoid being one of those dudes who puts a surfboard on top of their car, but never surfs, or a dude with a powder coated fixed gear bike and a messenger bag, but was never a messenger. Live the life. Earn your bona fides.
29. Don’t believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting fucked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn’t make it true. You have nothing to feel guilty about.
30. Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest.

Most things don't matter.

 

There is no such thing as a selfless action. Everything we do is motivated by self-interest in one form or another. Recognize and embrace this, and it really isn't a bad thing at all.

 

Haha lol you beat me to it.

 

-enjoy life. you only have one life to live and you should most definitely live it to the fullest.
-do what you want to do. nothing is impossible.
-realize who and what is most important to you in this one short life you have to live.
-live your dreams!

 

if dating a hipformer, always check the pillowcase before bed

 

this just might be one of the best life lessons yet.

 

green that made my day :cheers2:

 

take chances

 

See as much live music as possible and be as open minded about it as you can.

 

hell yes!

and on that note

-Set no boundaries.. the only person holding you back is yourself
-Know your roots.. if theres one thing about us americans its that were are a collective nation of people.. our roots are not here.. unless you are native american.. they are else where and you should really get to know about your people
-Do as many drugs as possible.. i don't mean abuse drugs.. i mean try as many different kinds as you can.. see the inner and outer from as many aspects as possible

 

ahaha I love it.

Learn your lessons yourself not from others.

Isn't it sad?

What if you don't know yourself?

 

I think the majority of the time that sort of ignorance is willful. I suggest reading about psychology; becoming aware of the processes (biological and otherwise) that constitute our consciousness also frees us from them, to an extent (this applies more to the psychological ones, like cognitive dissonance).

 

Glad to hear it man

LMAO thats epic right there
