heres a confession for ya, i think and basicly know that im better than like 90% of the people from the little pissant town where im from! reason #1-i didnt get knocked up in high school or shortly after! reason #2-i moved more than 2 blocks away from my parents house, i moved 5 hours away and it still wasnt far enough! reason #3- i have all my teeth. reason #5- i have never gotten drunk and accidently had sex with my brother/cosin/father. reason #6- my dream job is not to work in a window factory or be promoted to head burger flipper. reason #7- i dont have two first names, such as (bobby-jo or billy-ray) reason #8 i actually graduated high school the first time and without maturnity leave. reason#9- i know what insurance is. reason #10- i know how to read even without the little pictures replacing the big words. all things concidered im doing pretty damn well for myself.and thanks to myspace i feel better about myself because i got to see how blisfully ignorant the lives of people i used to know are. PS: congrats to me because i just landed an awesome consultant job! yay! i rock! not then... proceed to tell me what a cold hearted bitch i am.
You think mySpace is enough? Gather up a list of MSN adresses, you'll find 90% have changed every single letter to an emoticon, can't spell to save their lives, set their names to how many times they slept with people in the last week, what crimes they recently commited and are proud of... etc.
Seems pretty weak to think that if a person got "knocked up", stayed in the same town and was happy that it was a fualt making them below you. Weakness is believing you are better than people and faulting them for thier lives.
most of the people from my town are not truly happy, they have settled they dont bother to see what else the worl has to offer, they are much too lazy for that. and perhaps it is a weakness to think of myself as better than them...but if thats the case i rather enjoy being weak. i love being so weak that i went to college , i love being so weak that i got a decent job, i love being sooo very weak that i learned how to use a condom or use birth control, and most of all i love being so weak that my family tree actually branches.. yep.. pretty fucking great to be weak if ya ask me. PS: ZIMMY- one girl that i went to high school with set her myspace name to how far along she is in her pregnancy! and all she talked about was how as soon as the baby comes out shes going to get shit faced drunk. ::sigh:: small towns are so sweet... makes me want to hurl.
Most people from any ones town aren't truely happy. Most people make mistakes and have to live with them. That doesn't mean that you are any better than they are it just meant you haven't made your life changing mistake yet. It will come and you will be humbled.
i didnt say ive never make mistakes. ive made plenty, however i use common sense. its common sense to use some sort of birth control if you dont want to get pregnant, is it not? how about playing with farm equipment or guns when your intoxicated?, seems to me that common sense would indicate that its a bad idea. yet, most peole in my home town dont quite grasp that, what a surprise when billy bob gets his arm ripped off or dip-shit gets shot in the face cause he had a bottle of wiskey before he target practiced. seems to me its also common sense to look beyond what you know and challenge yourself. then, after that if you still feel the need to go back where you came from, then by all means do it. but there is no excuse for making foolish mistakes that can be easily avoided .being just plain too lazy to try anything new, learn anything worth knowing or better yourself in any way is just ignorant and a waste of useful organs.
That’s the problem you judge people for their mistakes. A mistake is something no one does on purpose. And really come on birth control doesn’t' work 100% I know lots of people who where using birth control and ended up with kids. It just sounds like you are on a high horse and want to judge everyone because you are ashamed of where you came from. That is very sad. You are so insecure about yourself that you have to put others down to make yourself feel better, very very sad.
hey, its called true confessions this is my confession. im very secure about myself yes, but thats not a bad thing. i dont go to that town and tell everyone how im better than they are, so im not hurting anyone. i just cant stand to sit there and become a retarded hick like the rest of them its not what i want. also i can understand mistakes, sometimes people get pregnant by accident even while on birth control, but i happen to know for a fact that these girls made no attempt at using any sort of birth control and were still surprised when they got knocked up. your saying im on a high horse, but your the one preaching. i wasnt asking for any advice here, i was jsut speaking my mind and im glad i did. there is no amount of anyones bitching that will change my mind. i know how these people are and you dont. some people on this site are way too sensitive.
Your situation and opinions seem like a typical American paradox. On one hand you live in a shitty town full of fat inbreds, and on the other you downsize them for not living to YOUR standards. Perhaps you should consider the weakness of yourself, before others? Oh, and stop using your successfulness as an excuse to belittle other people; it makes you seem like a complete ****.
I thought this way about those people even before i was successful, not to mention i worked my ass off for it so theres nothing wrong with being proud. also: i dont live in a shitty like town, i moved away in order to make something of myself. my standards for people are not that high, if you try and fail then fine but if you dont try at all then whats the point of living?
how can being ignorant make you happy? besides that at least "bitter people" like me know when their being laughed at, unlike the ignorant who have no idea. by the way, what exactly is it that the ignorant find so funny about the successful? is it the way we dont take advantage of the government to support our lazy asses when we just dont bother to go out and get a job? because ya know, now that i think of it that is pretty damn funny! i should call up the local welfare office right now and see if i can get in on those food stamps, who the hell needs to work when me and my 10 brats can just live off other peoples tax dollars!
Ever heard of the saying "ignorance is bliss"? Obviously not. You seem like an asshole, to be honest; extremely judgmental, and overly self-righteous.
So...knowing people are making fun of you makes you happy? Makes you better than a man who doesn't care? You're generalizing everything about a small town...yet when you're 65, cold, and alone, you'll wonder why those "ignorant" people have a place to turn to when life shits all over them. You'll wonder why they are happy with their simple lives and you can't find an inch of it anywhere in your own. And, Jesus Christ. If you're so intelligent, learn the difference between "they're" and "their."
