Where I'am in my Life

I haven't posted in a while. I can honestly say I'm kind of lost and I don't know what is or what should be a priority in my life. I work full time in an okay job so at this point I want to work on other aspects in my life so I don't need to work where I work forever.

I'm going to turn thirty years old this year. I thought I'd have things figured out by now; lots of money, lots of sex, lots of travel, running my own animal rights organization that actually gets results unlike the useless and completely worthless PETA and I thought I'd at least have the totally cliche and utterly useless Bachelors degree. But hey, fuck it, it's never too late to start doing. I'm done trying to be perfect and playing it safe. 

Playing it safe is probably one of the riskiest things a human being can do. We're all dead already so there's almost nothing you shouldn't be doing, self-destructive or not. Start fucking the system every chance you get, you'll be surprised how many meager motherfuckers will simply get out of your way, fucking peasants. Everyone is so timid that if you show aggression they cower and hide. Don't show respect to people that obviously don't respect you and even people that you just think might not respect you, they'll take your kindness for weakness and being an asshole is much more profitable. I learned this lesson the hard way.

When something good happens to you, don't be surprised, act like you deserve it, you're fucking entitled god-dammit! Did that hot girl let you fuck the shit out of her? Good, she's welcome. Did you get a raise at work? Awesome, don't celebrate, because you want all the money, not a fucking raise and you won't settle for less. Stop being humble, there are a lot of people on Earth that will gladly humble your dumb ass every chance they get, so don't do it for them, you are all you have.

Why Calling Someone Racist Means You're an Idiot

    I can't stand it when a person calls another person a racist or "ignorant" when they act a certain way or call someone certain words. Why? Because when you call someone racist, you're pretty much saying, "the reason for which you hate this person is stupid or not viable.", because, you know, there are much better reasons to hate someone. You're essentially pointing out that one should have a deeper, more fundamental reason to hate someone besides the color of their skin or what race they belong to, like how dumb they are, or the fact that they can't do something very well. Don't hate someone because of the color of their skin, hate them because they drive 10 mph slower than the speed limit. You're an asshole because you hate that person for being Asian, better to hate them because they called you a bad word instead. For fuck's sake, hate is hate and it's always bad, always. I have a secret for you retards, objectively speaking; there is never a good reason to hate someone and calling someone racist even if they are racist makes you sound like a fucking Muppet that can't think for him or herself. 


That's all, good day.

Writing For Your Audience

It helps to know who your audience is first. I'm fairly certain all types of people end up on my blog, it doesn't matter much to me because I write for myself. This blog is ultimately a medium for me to put down ideas, thoughts and advice.


But, you have a blog that has a purpose. You need to place your self in the mind of who you think is reading what you have to say. What is it they are looking for when coming to your site? What is keeping them there? Why did they leave? What did they search for that led them here?


If you feel lost maybe you can use tactic that has always worked for me when I felt like I was losing my voice. Just think of something that irritates you(shouldn't hard at all), then write about something that annoys you. Your voice tends to come out when you're mad about something. Close your eyes and understand how you, the writer, would like to articulate your complaint about something.


I guess the point of this post was that you should just write for yourself instead of trying to please readers. After all, this should be therapy and not a chore.


Find your voice and they also will find your voice.

It Just Doesn't Stop

I try being the good guy, I really do. I have trust issues, but who doesn't? After meeting countless people in our lives that try and take advantage of us, who wouldn't be a little cynical? 


I live in Vegas, so consider this little fact. Every time a girl agrees to go out with me, I or maybe we(I'm sure I can't be the only guy who goes through this, at least I pray I'm not) have to run through a list of possibilities for why this girl is going with me. Does she actually like me? Does she want something from me(not monetary)? Does she want money from me? Is she a prostitute? Depending on how attractive she is, how many hundreds of guys am I currently competing against and it is worth it? Is she crazy? How much of a pretender is she? If she has a kid, are there gonna be problems with he dad? Since, very rarely are there not. Is she just trying to get a free dinner out of this?


And that's just the list I can come up with right now, without actually being out with a girl.You may be thinking, fuck dude you're paranoid! And I know this. But also consider this. All of these questions are borne out of actual experiences. And I'm not even a player. I probably go out with an average number of girls. I can only imagine the fucking insanity that above average men go through. The guys that go out with women all the time and are constantly playing the game. I admire their persistence, but frankly, the pursuit, in the end is just not worth it anymore. And not just for me, but for many of the men in my generation. Even the best case scenario is not worth it. It really isn't. It's no wonder I keep noticing the best bachelors going to other countries and coming back with gorgeous and humble wives. I'm not saying I'm gonna do this, because I don't really wanna get married, but if I was going to get married, American women, at this point, are simply not even in the equation anymore.

Social Media is More The Just a Trend

Are You Buying Stocks in This Market?

Wall Street has been getting killed the past few weeks. But part of me is happy abuot this. I think this is a great time to buy. I don't have much money in my portfolio (less than $10,000), so most of my purchases are non-commission ETF's through Ameritrade and Scottrade. Honestly, I can't believe more people don't take advantage of the opportunity to buy ETF's for no commission. For someone with a small portfolio, commissions make it really hard to beat the house, like the rake in a poker game, so every month I buy one or two shares of an ETF that I already have shares in. In my Scottrade account my ETF list is FFL(financial etf), FTQ(technology etf), FBM(Basic materials etf) and FMM(mid-cap etf). In Ameritrade I own three ETF's which are VTI(Total market etf), VYM(High yeild etf) and VWO(emerging markets etf).

Now some of my purchases depend on what's been happening in the markets. For example, if financials continue getting destroyed than I'll buy more FFL shares. And Instead of buying Apple shares I like to buy FTQ because Apple is the largest holding in that ETF. 

I do have certain stocks that I own also. I have Bank of America shares that I bought at $7.48 per share and I'm hoping that shares go down to about $4.25 and I'll buy more. I also hold Telefonica(TEF) and Seadrill(SDRL) which aren't doing very well I'll admit. But when I bought them it was mainly for their dividends and I'm planning on holding for at least 5 years.

I think in the end things will get a bit better and equities will benefit from this. But don't hold me to that prediction. I mean no one really knows anything.
