why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

£¢Compliment

I'm guilty of everything being criticized in this thread (probably -- I haven't actually read the thread), sorry all.

"Say they keep a journal but really don't" makes this sound more and more like some personal ax-grinding list to stick it to those who have snubbed its author (who is not, btw, successful).

Bill Gates wrote this list btw

Thomas Edison IIRC

I extrude anger

I embrace never leave change

adolph hitler and martin luther king actually collaborated on this list.

Huh, I've never heard of a "to-be" list before, but google gives 984,000 results. Goddamn! Now I know why I'm such an unsuccessful wretch, despite studying Augustus Whiffle's _The Care of the Pig_ every evening.

oystein! where you been?

i like this one:

Successful people: return phone calls

Unsuccessful people: ask for your number for a possible dating scenario and say they're going to call you and even after you google their address and phone number and leave 3 urgent voicemails they still don't call you back forcing you to go over to their house to verify that they are home

lollll scott

i know there's probably a 50000 post thread on this somewhere but what more needs to be said

"Fly by their seat of their pants"

how do I acquire this kind of transportation

see now i would think that fly by their seat of their pants would be a good thing to self-actualizing journal-keepers. but i guess not. you know, spontaneity and all that. though the successful person list is kinda anti-improvisation.

and on the successful list i totally read "exclude joy" at first.

and that list was something a facebook friend of mine put up. i have some scolds on my facebook. same person who posted the thing about how *kids shouldn't ask for anything and they should stop war* manifesto.

There's a whole tumblr of those if it's a legitimate x. Some of them are funny, some of them are horribly formed.

enforced excitement/joy/seize the day/stop complaining stuff on facebook or the internet always bugs me. because it really does feel like the person posting it is trying to convince themselves that they aren't miserable.

haha so otm

carpe diem, motherfuckers

oh god, that reminds me, I have to take a picture of this plaque someone mysteriously put up in a tiny meeting room, it actually says:

CARPE DIEM

Seize the Day

kind of how i feel about "life coaches" too, like i can't help but suspect that more are just miserable people caught in a some kind of "self-actualizing" loop
xp

COMMIT RANDOM ACTS....... OF KINDNESS!!

idea #5: if you see someone who looks a little down, create a spontaneous "one-person flashmob" - just for them!

lolll

what a world

man, "life coaches." I have a friend who I think seems really self-actualized but was going to career counselor-types (not life coaches) a couple years ago because she wasn't quite feeling it with her job. Now, she has the same job, but she and her husband have three dogs and she runs something like ten miles a day.

If it's a legitimate LOL, the EXCELSIOR has ways to try to shut that whole thing down

sorry, I don't know where that came from, plz to delete

^^^^Next EXCELSIOR thread title plz.

haha that's what i figured it was!

Of all the reasons to object to Hot Topic…

similarly I boycott nuclear energy as it uses a cheap soulless imitation of glowsticks for its so-called 'power'

hahahahahaha

i am boycotting all babies until they stop sucking on the sacred pacifier.

sacred, sacred are the jncos

putting this on tumblr, i expect 20,000 reblogs by the end of the day

This person sounds really super annoying but I never watched Spongebob so maybe there is a complex subtext.

Nope.

so you know how facebook is now notifying you when someone you interact w/a lot just does anything, the fact that ive been clicking through on all these inspirational image macros for the last couple weeks is really backfiring

This guy was the only rabid Ron Paul fan on my friends list that I hadn't hid. For a while he was alternating furiously between

1.)Inspirational quotes
2.)Ron Paul 2012 Or Obama Will Kill America With Taxes
3.)Organic Farming
4.)Marijuana Legalization
5.)Bob Marley or Spearhead Youtubes

He seems to have chilled out on the Ron Paul thing, thank god.

If I ever have a city growing out of my ass please shoot me

Err, the picture is illustrating natural resources being used surely and not being loved at all

so the conclusion is 1,000,000% RONG imo

the end of that is supposed to say "and people are being used". not having the easiest time c&ping from facebook this morning though, so I think I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

"People are not supposed to have the sears tower in their ass"
