I'll put it like this....


I have a friend who played a sport for UF, he's a star player who will probably be one of the 1st 10 people to be drafted this yr. Now, when you talk to him he sounds like an idiot. He talsk real slow as if he's smoked too much weed or done 1 too many wippets. He's not good looking based on what many girls say. He thinks he's the shit.....totally. He lets all of us know this, we all say shit like that to each other, but he is really bad about it. Often time we crack on him about his bad speech and how his eyes always look like he's stoned.

But!

He is still the shit. One day, in a matter of months, he'll be worth millions. A little while later, even more millions. Now, money is something this guy is used to. He comes from a family that is extremely wealthy, much much more than mine. His dad was one of the three doctors to invent laser surgeory. That said, his life style won't change all that much. He'll still be playing this sport for the rest of his career, if he's not injured, and still be rich as phuck.

In my view.....playing sports and being a millionaire......it doesn't get much better than that. You have both power and status.....



Every person is different. Sometimes you have to look beyond to surface to see where someone might be the shit. Nobody thinks a like. A person who you think is an idiot, arrogant or ugly.....can easily end up a millionaire, sex icon and a household name.....

A few examples:

50 cent.....crack dealer, gangster and ex con.

Mike Tyson, rapist.....man eater.....and talks like a fag

Angelina Jolie.....has drank her husbands blood....hates on her dad publicly AND has a nasty drug habit.

Tom Green......the name says it all.

Howard Stern.......Has to be on of the nerdiest looking guys on the planet, yet, he is still the shit.

I could go on and on for you, but do you now see where I'm trying to go with this?
I totally see where you're going with this, but I disagree. You disagree with me on the definition of bitch, I disagree with what aspects make a person the "shit" so to speak.

I obviously don't value power and money as much as you do. It's not at the top of my list of priorities. My goal in life is not to make the most money and rub it peoples faces.

Those examples you shared with me, I would not look up to any of them or admire them. Yes they have money and lots of it, but I think they're losers.

People I think are great, are obviously not the same as you. I wouldn't rank a celebrity up there. I would put people like my friends and family. Doctors, scientists.

IMO, just because you have money, doesn't mean you are the "shit"
