And even so... I wasnt dissin nuthin.. them movies kick ass. Bruce Lee is the shit. He can come back from the "dead" and attend a barbeque at my house, anytime he wants to.
If your morals change up all of a sudden... dont do canned beer.. its nasty... unless its the only thing around, that is... otherwise, stick to bottles, or from a tap.
Jock... hahaha... there was a time, where if excepted by them, I wouldnt be where I am right now... and livin this pimp ass life of "luxury" (that was a joke... im broke as hell).... But nah... the politics of highschool shut my ass down, and rejected that shit, as soon as they saw me comin.
They just knew I was too fresh to play baseball with them... I could.. and still can school all of those mutha facko's anytime I want to...
SO I chose a different path, and took my fame, by sneakin in through the back door.
O.K. Imma try as hard as I can to not start dissing people from school, and how the different cliques acted... All I'm finna say is Mr. Parks is the coolest thing Johnson has going for it...
Put it this way. If any girl gives me a valentine of some sort, she must be prepared for a lot of rejection. I dont get valentines or why she should show fabricated love toward me. If the love is true, she can take it somewhere else 'cause not many girls at my school actually think on their own.
Damn yo.. thats cold...
What if the chick was being honest and sincere, and really digs you and then you still reject her?
Note the usage of "not many". There are some I would rush to in a second. Its the nature of a male. I just have a different view than most. I value honesty more than cup size.
Yeah.. I dig honesty in a chick too... what good is a girl thats always goin behind your back, and doing the unnessecary bullshit, that often gets done, in relationships.
Yeah.. I dig honesty in a chick too... what good is a girl thatsalways goin behind your back, and doing the unnessecary bullshit,that often gets done, in relationships.
Honest chicks can suck too, remember X-Fest last year...
Yeah... but ninja.. understand one thing... you see that "hot cheerleader" and assume, that she's easy, just cause of who you see her hangin with, or what you hear from others about her....yeah.. most of the time, ya damn right... but straight up.. its only school bullshit... theres many different sides to every story. WAYYYYY more than 2 sides... and just cause your seeing her.. or any other chick, one way... doesnt mean that theres more to that person than just what your seeing.
Shit.. im still runnin into chicks that I went to school with, back in the day, who I thought were actually real super bitches back then.. but then they actually take the time, to stop and say "hey! hows it going??" and talk to me for a while, cause it just took them longer to figure that shit out.
Once people figure out that others are more complex, than whats on the outside, they'll be alot better off.
Yeah, I bump into chicks from school all the time, it's funny how, they'll talk to you now, but back when they had a rep. to keep, they weren't about the ninja that wasn't about errthang that the majority was about. Yet most of those people's "main belief" was to "be yourself," but somehow they'd always forget about that when there were more than 2 people around...
Yeah, ninja. It is your view.. and thats cool. Errbody has their own view on things, and im fine with that. And I wasnt tryin to say that you should go out with anyone, just based on what you think, or dont think about them....
All I was tryin to say, was that people have alot of different sides to them..... I know this has nothing to do with the dating thing, but If some lady at a store is sittin there bitchin me out and saying that I'm a stupid ass, and a rude, ruthless person, who deserves to be bitchslapped.. all based on what im wearing, or the fact that my hair is jacked today... or my goatee is lookin scruffy....... and even though, some of that is true sometimes, I'll be the first one, to walk over to that chick and tell that bitch: "Bitch! Dont judge me!"
You never know whats on the other side of that bridge, ninja. Dont rule shit out. Thats all.
I ended up leaving school and getting my G.E.D. when our "crew" started becoming semi popular. We started getting this reputation that basically consisted of people not knowing what to expect next, because we did what we wanted.
Well J, I have to say you seem to have a lot more going on for you than I think you let people normally see.
Shaggy, haven't seen as many of your posts so haven't quite pegged you yet.
Regman, I used to be you, more or less. But now, 18 years later, I wouldn't want to be me again. Thinking you're better than people for being smarter or more enlightened is about as useful as thinking you're better than someone because you're cooler than them or better at sports. Everyone does what they do and hopefully they're good at it and enjoy it. Some people play sports. Some people cheerlead. Some people date. Just because that's what they do doesn't make them bad people. It's really only when someone tries to make others look bad because they don't do the same things that person does, that that person themselves can end up looking bad.
I've found there are two roads to popularity. The first road is to be openly judgemental. If you're always talking about what dorks other people are, those that you don't consider dorks will feel honored and privileged to have your acceptance and you become popular because you are the one who dictates what's popular.
The second way is to take the opposite approach. Accept everyone for who they are and look for the good in everyone. When you're able to make the people around you feel good about themselves, they'll enjoy being around you and everyone will like you.
Unfortunately the first method is the one that seems to prevail in our teenage years. And it's not usually a very effective long term strategy. The phrase "live by the sword, die by the sword," kind of comes to mind. If you establish your popularity by creating a culture where criticism and exclusion run rampant, eventually you'll do something that will lead to your own criticism and exclusion. It's a negative energy process that eventually feeds upon itself.
The second method usually requires experience and wisdom. You can see it in VJ's words and attitude. But once you develop it, it only grows and spreads. It can be hard at times, especially when there are people who seem strange or different, or we just don't understand them, but the more you can convince people that you will accept them and not turn in judgement against them by not doing it to anyone, the more they will trust you with their friendship.
So Regman, if a girl gives you a Valentine, don't reject it because of how she looks, or who she is, or because she happened to choose the convention of that day to express herself. Look at who she really is and what she's trying to really say, and take that into consideration. Just because someone chooses to be prompted by the convention of Valentine's Day doesn't automatically mean that their message is empty.
Personally I'm particularly attracted to a woman that makes a conscious effort to change how she looks. I see it as a means of self-expression and I like someone who has a strong enough sense of who they are to take the time to express it outwardly.

Thats cause Ya'll dont get to hang out with me, and get me going on stuff, when Ive been drinkin. Usually when I'm talkin up in here, in the middle of the night, I'm bustin jokes all over the place, for like an hour or so, and then I find other stuff to do.
I guess Regman just hit somethin, to where the Captain in me, wanted to jump out and dance around on a table and talk for a while. When usually on other late nights when I drink (which really hasnt been that much, as of lately)....he wants to just sit there, and make me dizzy, and say stupid crap like: "how many monkeys are wearing sunglasses under the kitchen sink?"
Listening to ICP, and watching Johnny Bravo, or pretty much anything else on the Cartoon Network, is funny as hell.
You better not be dissin Kung-Pow...
Ninja, I aint never seen Kung Pow...
And even so... I wasnt dissin nuthin.. them movies kick ass. Bruce Lee is the shit. He can come back from the "dead" and attend a barbeque at my house, anytime he wants to.
If he does come to my barbeque, though... he better bring me some chinese beer... Ive never had that shit before.
Good one too, beer kinda sucks...
Yeah... I used to say that too.... I was corrupted... I blame it all on peer pressure. HAHAHAHAHA Yeah... thats my story..LMFAO...
If your morals change up all of a sudden... dont do canned beer.. its nasty... unless its the only thing around, that is... otherwise, stick to bottles, or from a tap.
hell yeah, those popular jock dudes are fun to mess with too, cuz a lot of times you can diss them, and they dont realize it...
Jock... hahaha... there was a time, where if excepted by them, I wouldnt be where I am right now... and livin this pimp ass life of "luxury" (that was a joke... im broke as hell).... But nah... the politics of highschool shut my ass down, and rejected that shit, as soon as they saw me comin.
They just knew I was too fresh to play baseball with them... I could.. and still can school all of those mutha facko's anytime I want to...
SO I chose a different path, and took my fame, by sneakin in through the back door.

What if the chick was being honest and sincere, and really digs you and then you still reject her?
Do Klownz always swear?
I dunno... all I know is this clown, does it way too much.. and I only notice that i'm doing it too much, when its pointed out to me, ninja.
Or when i'm around little kids, and have to "watch my language".
SO I chose a different path, and took my fame, by sneakin in through the back door.
That's around the same time you hooked up with me and formed the "Crew" huh?
What if the chick was being honest and sincere, and really digs you i and then you still reject her?
Then they wouldn't pick a stale day like Valentines Day to do it...
That's around the same time you hooked up with me and formed the "Crew" huh?
Hell yeah, brother.
That, and later on, stealing the theatre department.
Note the usage of "not many". There are some I would rush to in a second. Its the nature of a male. I just have a different view than most. I value honesty more than cup size.
Yeah.. I dig honesty in a chick too... what good is a girl thats always goin behind your back, and doing the unnessecary bullshit, that often gets done, in relationships.
Nah, man.. I know what your getting at...

Honest chicks can suck too, remember X-Fest last year...
Ah yeah.... true... good point.
The hot cheerleader everyone wants is usually the easiest person to i get, cause they are so shallow and dont follow in their faith.
In the words of D-Von Dudley... "Oh testify, my brotha!"
Yeah... but ninja.. understand one thing... you see that "hot cheerleader" and assume, that she's easy, just cause of who you see her hangin with, or what you hear from others about her....yeah.. most of the time, ya damn right... but straight up.. its only school bullshit... theres many different sides to every story.
