I know you are reading the title and wondering "uh oh", but I think this is pretty obvious. The video below was posted on Youtube in January 2010, when certain people rubbed me the wrong way with their bassed ackward ways. Misery loves to keep a lot of company, and as stubborn as I am, misery and I are not the best of friends. I'll keep this simple because I think the video covers how I felt. Just watching it again I could definitely feel how angry I was at that time.
Time loves to repeat itself with events such as the piggy flu and college in general. I was watching a few episodes of "All in the family", when Gloria's husband finally gets his bachlor's degree (I'll reserve talks about the B.S degree for now) and Archie is parading around all happy because now Mike can get a job and pay him back. Mike comes back home and said that he is still going to school for his Masters because a B.S degree is not enough. THAT WAS IN THE 1970s. Its funny because I still hear that crap and this is 2010. Even when I was going to school that was their "sales" pitch to keep you going, after you sentenced 4 years of undergraduate mess.
I am not here to talk down to those that served their time, I am here to talk about those who are miserable that served their time and damn near expect everyone else to follow the straight and narrow. School is not for everyone, like many things that people have a choice to do. Coming from an African American standpoint, I find it hard for people to understand why they wish to attend school. Most of the time the same lame answer is "I want to get a great job"... Whats so bad about saying, "I want to go to college because when I get out I can make a whole bunch of money". Why not be truthful? Heh, I'm getting ahead of myself. I don't want to keep this lengthy, but you get the idea. I can't stand when people force others to follow down a path that even they don't quite understand. It is so annoying because these people talk so loud and proud and get furious when you start to question their beliefs like its taboo to even go there.
Also, why is it when you are down and struggling asking for help that people want to take that opportunity to personally tell you how they feel about what you are doing? So I can't get help because you don't approve, but if I was doing what you wanted and still struggled, I would get help? I wish I could tell you that this mess would eventually disappear with time, but it will get worse. Chances are the relationship that you thought you had with these people will be destroyed before you earn enough to keep up yourself. It has been 2 months since I've no longer needed to ask anyone for help... But now those same people are indeed worried because I hardly call... Life is so interesting with twists and turns of flying bull everywhere.
