Never put your gel next to your toothpaste.

Never put your bottle of gel next to your toothpaste. Seperate them! One day, you're gonna crawl out of bed like a zombie, grab your tooth brush, spread "toothpaste" on it without thinking, and try to brush your teeth half asleep... with gel... sigh. It could happen people! Look on the bright side, atleast your hair will be gingervitis free the day it happens?

So let me repeat that one more time for you: never put your bottle of gel next to your toothpaste.

Inappropriate Message

In the wake of the Virginia Tech Massacre, an ex-friend of mine had an away message up Wednesday night, just two nights after the devastation at Virginia Tech on Monday,

"I love everything about this week :)"

I was annoyed. So I responded, in a civil manner,

"I know you didn't go to Virginia Tech, or wasn't directly affected, but I feel that is totally inappropriate."

That is not what pissed me off. How she responded pissed me off. How she doesn't put herself in our shoes pissed me off. Guess how she responded? Verbatim:

"Your response to my away message was completely inappropriate. How dare you pass judgment on me when you cant even be thankful for me showing concern for your well being in a time of crissis. You have no right to judge my life that you know nothing about! Dont tell me im not sympathetic just because im not going to let a tragedy overcome the things i am most grateful for. I am not going to stop being happy in my life every time someone dies. Yeah I do have friends at Tech.. People I called the second I found out. So yeah I do care so screw you!"

WHAT THE FUCK. Screw me? Was I not civil? She totally flew off the handle and backlashed at me... I wasn't like "omg you stupid mofo take that away mesage down."

I'm not saying she doesn't care, that's not the point. I'm not saying to cease life and mourn, I don't expect that. HAVE SOME CONSIDERATION HOWEVER. Can you act more self-absorbed and make this whole thing about you?

In her defense, she was happy that her brother got engaged. Yes, that's terrific news and definitely something to be happy about, but don't say you're happy about everything this week. Say, "Congratulations to my brother," or SOMETHING ELSE....

And how am I passing judgment on her life by saying one statement was inappropriate? She has friends at Tech, knows people that go there, and is surrounded by people who went to Tech. I am so angry right now... I'm not saying she has to be miserable or sad, but there is a time and place.

All I'm saying is to have consideration! If a friend lost his parents or a loved one, I'm not gonna say "I love everything about this week :)"

It would be OK if she lived in Australia, and knew nobody that went to Tech. Then her statement wouldn't be "inappropriate." But that's not the case.

Remember the DC Sniper? She had a friend that lost an uncle to the DC Sniper, do you think if she had "I love everything about this week:)" up that week, her friend would be OK with that? You think people in DC would be happy if she said that to people???? NO.

And this girl is backlashing at me? NO.

What's your thoughts/input/comemnts? Anyone can comment. Tell me if I was unreasonable. Tell me if her message was inappropriate or OK.

Attention Whores

You know what pisses me off? Those mellow dramatic "I want attention and sympathy" immature people who wallow in their self pity. I'm sure you have the worst problems in the world (go read our previous posts on "Bitchin' About Small Things" and "Miserable Mofos"). We all got our problems. Yeah you know them, these are those people that when the slightest thing goes wrong in their lives, they spam "LIFE SUCKS" as their away message, and some emo stupid poem that they found on the internet that goes something like this...

"When you look at me
what do you see?
A girl so full of life
with smiles and joy to share?
Or one full of misery
with pain eating at her soul.
No one sees the real me
underneath my exterior"

blah blah blah

So pitiful that it'll make you yack in your mouth because chances are, its over some asshole boyfriend that cheated on them (for the 7th time, because they got back together 7 times prior).

Then you actually get bored, or care a little, and ask them "hey friend, what's wrong?" and they reply, "Nothing." ........ fuck you, don't put it out theere for the world and say nothing's wrong, you KNOW people are gonna ask, if you don't wanna talk about it then DON'T PUT IT OUT THERE. GET A LIFE. You don't see adults running around talking about how miserable life is, or spamming stupid miserable poems in their profiles, or walking around sulking. Who said life was easy? What defines us is how we deal with life. Grow the fuck up.

Criticism - Can You Take it?

Those that cannot take it or need it to be "watered down" subconsciously tell you that they are not succeptable to change. Please do not cry about it - In order to grow as a person, people must find their weaknesses. If I went around all day thinking I'm "hot shiet" not only am I delusional, but once I hit the "top"... there is only one way to go: DOWN. However, if you view your world as a learning experience and learn from your mistakes, you leave room for growth. "Why do we fall" to learn how to pick ourselves back up!

Techniques of the Thinking:
Lesson #1 - I call this the Free Mind Theory: one whom is unbiased and can evaluate the situation/argue points of views from both parties. Essentially, arguing is an art. There is no right or wrong, but the way a case is presented is what validifies the statement.

There are too many suck butts who tremble at the slightest remark or "attack" of their character and take it way too personal when it is simply constructive criticism. Of course telling someone that they are "stupid" will not help any situation, however some people freak out when they hear people say things such as, "I think you could do better in such and such by improving on such and such..." They immediately shut this person out and take it as a personal attack.

Selfish People

(I see so many chicks complain that they cant change their bfs or if they do, it's only temporary so this is for you guys)

Everyone is selfish but we all must also be courtious. Let's take example ur significant other (aka the #1 source of where any1 should look for for selflessness in another individual) We can safely assume (sometimes) that this person would generally lookout for ur best interests and be selfless toward you... I mean... that IS self explanatory isnt it? So supposedly you "love" this person and would "do anything" for them right? (Or at least it's easier said than done) Yet you find them constantly contradicting themselves... you grow impatient and sit here and wonder when they would snap out of it and realize they need to start changing a few things. It's not that you're selfish and want change "OR ELSE!!!", it's the fact that you care for the other person to want that change to happen for their own sake. Now we all know you simply cant tell someone to do something, so you're patient and wait for them to realize it on their own without putting pressure on any change. NOPE, doesnt happen, shows very well that they're selfish and most of their actions scream "Me me me, I lookout for #1!" You get fed up, confront them, and finally ask them, "Do this one thing for me." They do it.... for awhile (say 1-2 weeks) then revert back to their old selves again. They know they feel guilty for doing it, so their way of "not doing it" is to do it 50% or simply behind ur back.... *scratch head* in the end... they're STILL DOING IT!

Solution: Do NOT tolerate these mother fuckers. If they exhibit a trait you cannot live with, drop it like it's hot before you get burned. Otherwise, you might move on being a very pissed off person carrying tons of baggage into the next relationship. (however if it's already too late and u already exhibit this behavior, you can find other solutions on thesixthcents blogspot!)

Miserable Mofos:

“I once cried because I didn’t have shoes. Then I met a man with no feet.”

1 thing goes wrong in their life and they immediately say, "OMG I WANNA DIIIEE!!!" Well fuck you! Thousands wish they were in ur shoes RIGHT NOW yet u complain about stupid stuff. Half the world doesn't even have electricity or running water for goodness sake yet u complain about.. a.. umm.. bad boyfriends or some other ignorant shit? Negative ppl w/ negative energy = only spreads their disease to others, do urself a favor and find meaning in ur life. This does not include: Relationships, partying, getting drunk, gossiping, watching TV (unless it's the discovery channel). Ever heard of: "Being happy with one's self?" Unfortunately not bcuz u're too bz thinking about how miserable ur life is. My suggestion: "DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!" You are your only obstacle...

Key Ingredients to Misery:
1. Laziness
2. Doing the same thing over expecting different results (you DO know this is a trait of insanity right?)
3. Pessimistic behavior
4. Giving up
5. Doing nothing all day couped in a house
6. Cannot think in other realms of possibility, stuck in their own miserable reality and can see only 1 path. (aka Tunnel Vision)
7. Blames others/things for their misery
8. Cannot accept fault
9. In denial 24/7 of obvious truths (ok, maybe not so obvious to them)
10. Always thinks they're right
11. Close-Minded
12. Unable to see where they r in life 10 yrs from now
13. Did not bookmark or thoroughly read: http://thesixthcents.blogspot.com/

Life of the Low Self-Esteem Hot Girls

1. Goes to LOTS of parties (to get confirmation of their hotness from an endless stream of compliments... but somehow still believe they're "unattractive?")

2. Never get with any of the guys (to appear unattainable so more guys will fight over them so they can feel more hot)

3. Accompanied by a DUFF ("Designated Ugly Fat Friend" to make herself look better; the DUFF also feels good about herself since her hot friend is attracting all these fine young men and "someone" has to jump on the bomb.. but of course DUFFs never realizes this and obtains a false sense of security)

4. Spends countless hrs gossiping over the phone to her gfs (or lack there of, hot girls usually have 1-3 female friends.. the rest r men) about the boys that are following her around (secretly trying to get into her pants but disguise it as being gentlemenly).

5. Her world revolves around "Sexy Back." Everything must be "sexy." The way she walks/talks/dances bcuz she is insecure to act normal (yes.. her real self that burps/farts/a total slob at home) or to be seen in public w/o makeup.

Conclusion: They attract only assholes that want ass and those that dont mind sharing their STDs. Nice guys never approach them thinking they r "too unattainable," or "too slutty," therefore nice guys never see them as women that command respect. Maybe when these girls hit their 28's, they'll consider tossing out the boob revealing shirts. Less is More my friend. The new sexy is CLASSY. (which this world lacks... or maybe im hanging around too many immature lil brats?)
