Sell My Face Please

You can’t wait around for life to give you something or life will begin to happen around you.

Opportunities don’t always come in the form of a golden open door with flashy arrows saying “enter here.”

Sometimes there is no door. Sometimes you just need to build your own door.

One day you will see the world through the eyes of someone else. One day, you will really understand what life is all about.

For now, just live like today is your last day on this planet, and love like you will be gone tomorrow.

Passion is a great thing; motivation for your passion is even better. When you become motivated to do something the best thing to do is…do it! Ride the wave of motivation and hopefully you will get something really amazing done.

Seriously, if people become de-motivated we become a world in a slump. Like the depressed kid in the back of the class, we just sit as our life passes us by. Don’t be that kid! Be someone who gets things done.

Do something amazing.

I hope that one day we as humans on this little rock will get along.

We are just organisms on a rock in the infinite thing we call space. And on this rock in space we divide ourselves in to tiny rock forms and call them continents. This isn’t enough because we can’t get along on the rock forms on the little rock and big old space. Soooo we divide that into countries…then states. In our little states on little countries on the rock forms called continents that make up this tiny rock in the huge things that is space….we fight.

Not saying that conflict is 100% avoidable, or that it is always a bad thing, but i think there are some things we just don’t need to fight about.

Who are you?

Are you a goofball who can be a little air headed? (Maybe even someone who flings noodles in their hair when they eat.) Do people think you are a bit off or just a little odd? Good. Keep being you.

It is so important to be yourself, no matter how weird you might be. People might criticize you but the in the end, those people just aren’t your friends. By really being yourself you will meet people who like you for well…you, and that is what’s important. Faking your life means that you are never actually making real friends anyway. The persona you project yourself to be is. Do you really want to hide behind that your whole life? I sure as hell wouldn’t.

So no matter you are, it’s good enough for the people who really care, and that is what’s important anyways.

Have you ever been talked to in a manner that made you feel equivalent to a pile of dog shit stepped on by a man having a bad day? You are shit and you piss other people off. It sucks. Even when you are trying to be helpful it seems to be wrong.

This is common in any relationship and seems to be most prominent when you are a teenager.

Do you realize that you probably speak to people in that same manner, that you have probably said something to seem “witty” or “funny” but in the end you are just being a condescending asshole? Those statements don’t seem all to harmful until they are said to you.

I don’t believe we should live in a pathetically sugarcoated society, but I watch people interact and the level of rudeness they display is disgusting to me. The majority of their interaction revolves around insulting each other.

Now I understand the playful banter that comes with friendship, but sometimes a nice word or a thank you would be nice. I used to get annoyed with people who didn’t acknowledge me for holding the door, now, indeed of nothing, some teenybopper will insult me. “Thanks door holder.” “Look at the fool holding the door.” Really? Hit puberty and grow up. Since when are manners a bad thing? It’s actually cool to be an ass.

Just watch people talk and think about how you would feel about those things being said to you. Then think about how often you say them to other people.

Strange huh?

Sometimes it’s good to just relax and notice all of the good things going on in your life. Even when things are not looking well or your life seems to be filled with countless amounts of problems (most of ours are), you can find something positive. I am not going to make you feel like shit by telling you all of the great things in my life, but I think you should consider this:

You can spend your whole life complaining over the bad things, or try to carry on.

In the end our lives aren’t as long as we would like to think. I most certainly do NOT want to waste the time that I have looking into the time that already happened and crying about it. Not saying you CANNOT be sad, or you should never complain. But, as with anything, they should be done in moderation.

Like food, or sex…or drugs…or whatever floats your boat.

Anyway.

Have a good day/ afternoon/ evening/ night.

Okay well yesterday I said that it is bad to obsess about celebrities. I still find this to be true. BUT, there is always a grey area. There is a difference between OBSESSION and IDOLIZING.

Obsession is a sort of mindless thing in my opinion. Obsession is looking at someone and spending way too much time trying to be like them, loving them, trying to get into their lives, or having sex with them. The list of things could go on but you get the point. Obsession is negative because it consumes you and can in turn alter the person you are obsessing about.

Idolizing someone is different. I idolize people. I am interested in their inspiration to pursue what ever they are doing (Not every aspect of their personal life) and I would like to meet them (not for an autograph) to just talk to them. These are people who I think are good people and have a good message. NOT people who are beautiful, sexy, skinny, or whatever.

It is good to idolize someone because you can idolize people who you agree with, thus fermenting your opinions. For example, if you are a strong believer of a religion and you idolize (not obsess over) someone who follows that religion you can get inspiration to continue to pursue something you agree with.

Who is your idol?

Why do we insist on obsessing over celebrities? These people may have talent (although some do not) but they are PEOPLE. What if everyday you left your house some kid was trying to get your autograph or ask you a million questions about your life. How would you like to wake up one morning and go to the store only to see your personal life on a magazine?

Then there is the flip side.

Why do we worship these people? Why must we try and model our lives around people who have sold their personality and become another item for us to consume? They sell their faces for their poisons. Whether it be sex, drugs, or what ever. The message that sends to kids is HORRIBLE. ??Lets just take a step back from the magazines and back off of other people lives. Lets model our lives after positive influences and well, ourselves.

Be you, not some celebrity.

Poor kid, before they were famous they were actually human.
