Take the World For All it's Got

Post Reply New Topic

I've learned a few things in my little time on this little planet.



One, watch out who the f**k you trust, or you just might get shot in the ass.

Two, invest yourself wisely, or you might get f****d.

Three, have principles; don't be a shmuck, and do something you'll regret later unless you want to be a scumbag.

Four, do whatever it takes to get the job done. If that means compromising in the pursuit of that, do it.

Five, if someone f***s you over, f**k them right back twice as hard and make sure they're done.



Out of all the people I've met in my life, fellow businessman, a local innovator and dear friend has been one of the most influential on me. A few years ago I didn't really know what the meaning of "Committed" was. This man showed me what commitment was. Two movie theaters; a housing development; a retail property; that's what commitment it; that is the opportunity of our country. This man started in his thirties with a woodworking business working evenings. He reinvested his earned money and built himself a small kingdom of entrepreneurial genius and carved out his niche like a woodpecker in a tree.



I've looked at my life as if all of my empty time was opportunities lost; but now I see that the time I waste is anything but- all of the time I've been wallowing in my own self-pity has been time I could be making my life!



The people who've abandoned me- f**k 'em. The people who've crossed me- f**k 'em. The people who've harrassed me- f**k 'em. The people who've treated me like shit- f**k 'em. I've got twice the self-control and twice the brains.



Kissimmee, Florida's where the opportunity is for me. I leave Great Barrington- the place I've lived my closed little life like f*****g Kim Jong-Il in my little house, observing everyone from afar; afraid to inject myself into a situation where I might actually have to make decisions and be the go-to-man. We all have to be that guy sometime in our lives- there's nothing to hide from and no way to hide.



It's time to find every opportunity there is to take and exploit it to the fullest. f**k the past and hail the future. Make a fortune and be proud of doing it and releasing the chains of your past; and better yet, go back to where you came from and rub your success in the face of the stupid pricks who made you miserable. America's a paradise! It's time to live it.

I am reminded of the expression "Means, motive and opportunity"
I often think that this does not apply to the act of crime itself, so much,
as it applies to every action that every human being makes...

You appear to be angry, ,
and yet, your solution to your anger lies in creating customers for an un-named product,
i.e. creating friendships based on the trust of supplying a quality product,
with which you will invest your future capital on supplying satisfied customers with a
superior product, which you will return to your supplier with and demand a superior product.

And all of the people, who are your customers and your suppliers,
while not being exactly the same people who you hate and condemn,
are the same sort of people who you hate and condemn
and wish to go back to where you came from and rub your success in their faces...?


America is not a paradise.
It's a struggle.
It's a search for means, motive and opportunity,
no less than any other country in the world.

If you make it, and I hope you do, as my heart goes out to every Aspy observing and trying to make sense of this very un-aspy world,
never forget, it's the stupid pricks that made you miserable, that made you rich.


I also don't believe that your empty time was opportunities lost.
Aspies TAKE time to contemplate and consider,
to ingest and process the mixed messages we receive.
If you think about it, that was the time you needed to arrive at your present state of mind.

I hope you try to turn more to the positive in the future
and less to the negative.

Good Luck!
