You, me, and everyone else

I just read a book titled How to Loose Friends and Alienate People, and it got me to thinking. Are the people you hold so dear really that important? Are the folks you look at as mentors and giants of their trade really so special? Or rather have you just not gotten your piece of the pie yet? Who says you are not capable of being the best? Even better who says you are not the future kingpin of whatever you want to do? The bottom line is to give a large "fuck you" to whomever gets in your way. Doubt, jealousy, and other worthless traits are all things people who are less than you do to rationalize their defeat. Rather than let people bog you down, tell you how to live, or try to get you down on yourself, just look at what you have accomplished and revel in it. On the flip side if you really do suck, sorry amigo keep trying. As many a rapper would say, "Just squash dem foo's" and do whatever you want. The Mayan calendar (among others) says that 2012 is the end of the world, that raises two questions. One, what if it is the end of the world, do you really want to waste these last years as a semi accomplished whatever the fuck? Or do you want to get out there and slap life in the face? The second question, and my personal favorite this month, is would you rather live a long life filled with plenty of nice memories, or see the end of the world? Think Black Sabbath raining down from the sky as hot lava and demons fly around with guitars and brain destroying vocals. You know it would be exciting. Then again, it could be a massive earth quake or freak comet just destroys Earth and it all happens within a split second leaving a path of death in its wake. That would be boring, let us hope the first situation is what fate has in store for us. Either way in 5.6 billion years the sun will engulf the Earth destroying what is left of a baron little rock once called Earth. Have a nice day.
