Please, tell me why
Precursor: Decisions I haven't been faced with include whether or not to buy food for myself, and instead for my family; if working another shift is worth sacrificing sleep for 2 days; paying for school or a home, gas or healthcare.I haven't been faced with that, nor should anyone.
Arguably, western civilization has become the most representative of a life that others long for. What you want, you can have. In the land of opportunity the only damper on your personal gain is oneself. The system seems to lend itself to wealth that is unimaginable in other cultures. Everyone has a car (many have several, large vehicles), the entire neighbourhood flaunts the newly acquired televisions, and children hand-in-hand with their parents believe that getting what you want is as simple as making the decision that, yes, I do want these things. I need these things. Even the Jones' have one.
This is where I see the problem. Now, given I have blessed with a situation in which I have never been forced into poverty and therefore I lack the perspective of those who have, I still believe I can speak confidently about spending habits. My main point is this: live within your means. For some reason what we view as acceptable has been stretched and skewed. Even our governments, the people who are chosen to lead the people through the storm, is doing us wrong. Please, tell me why people think it is okay to spend money they do not have. Having a credit card does not mean you have liquid money, it means you have a high-interest, liquid, long-run economy killer. Because eventually literal money must change hands and when all at once we realize the capital does not exist and both hands will remain empty, that is the moment our pie in the sky world crumbles. People buy houses they cant afford, cars they don't need, clothes to fit in, consumer products to feel alive. Governments lend money they don't have and spend money they've lent. Saying our society has fallen into a hole is an understatement. I accepted views and norms have failed. Living and dieing in debt is not the only way to live! Now, some may say, "hey mrmartyna you f**k head, you don't know how hard it is to live at the bottom". But let me share with you something; my grandfather, like most others, was an immigrant with a limited education. What he did was work hard, for his entire life he lived within his means and provided for his family. He sowed the seeds that we needed to start our families climb up from the bottom. My father and his four siblings lived in a train car. If you would like an accurate depiction of the bottom, I welcome you to imagine a train car hosting an entire family. My father (I like to call him dad, father sounds so unloving), so dad, followed in my grandpa's footsteps and worked hard, lived within his means and below them. Never has he driven a new car, nor has he ever had a bill go unpaid. Let it be for water, energy or visa it is always dealt with. I would say that my dad and my family have a wonderful life. Not even a full generational life has passed and what do you know, we're no longer living in a train. There are stories like mine everywhere, and the people in all these story are heroes. The people in my story are heroes to me and have afforded my the life style that I currently hold and share with many others. I am not saying I have done anything great, but anyone can. We can all do something great by simply living a good life, free of excess, free of meaningless consumerism. The 'things' come after the work. Work hard first, have things later. Imitating affluence helps no one. Here's to hoping I can follow these words with as much proficiency as I hope everyone else can.

some suck at life
Sooo, I was searching threw some forums on the social networking site 'nexopia'. It is popular with teens, in particular teens that need a creative release and/or feel they are artisticly inclined and feel the need to share this with the world via odd pictures and epicly horrible social rants. I think I attempted to drwon my self, sub-conciously while browsing the forums. I am trying to market a product to this misconstructed pile of youth so I tried to see what topics they hit the most and so on. Aftr a little market research I came to a conclusion. These kids are mentally inept, especially this mawf who happened to be posting on a page about 'sex frequently asked questions'. Please use my product, tell your friends and then remove your testicles so that there is ZERO chance of reproduction. Unless you can produce spores... which I wouldn't doubt. Oh yeah, this squid goes by the name NaTorIoUs*PlaYaa. FML.
GODLESS BABY EATERS
Alright, so as I am going to drive my mom's minivan to wing night (yeah, it's a minivan, you can do me now, or later, your choice) I notice some bins in the garage, where we keep our motorcarriages. These are your typical run-of-the-mill clear plastic bins with lids. Probably useful for LEGO, maybe for some blankets or camping supplies. I'm not one to decide what you put in your bins, but the manufacturers did have one thing they DIDN'T want in the bins. Infants. In fact, they drew a lovely little picture of an infant in the bin. Oh, and the big, universal NO circle, with the line through it and all. Well, this got me to thinking. Who the beejeebus is putting infants in bins and sealing the lid? Because infants certainly are not contorting themselves and magically sealing the lid on themselves. Any infant smart enough to both read the warning label, disregard it, and David Blaine their way into a bin should be fairly aware of the asphixiation risks and avoid the situation. And anyone who WANTS to put an infant in probably already has a pretty big disregard for the law, so that handy drawing isn't helping them, in the least. So basically, being my dislikes section, I dislike companies that put no infants in bins warnings on their products, and the people stupid enough to create the neccesity for this kind of warning.
