True.
I don't know why anybody entertains UF_Pike. If he wants to make an azz of himself getting some Tupac rip off tattoos, who cares.
And he obviously doesn't understand what he is talking about because it is called SEEKING APPROVAL. You know, kinda like starting this thread?

Amen! It seems to me that every time there is an active thread, he seems to start a new thread discussing the same stuff. Any time someone does that, someone will post a link to the other thread. When it comes to him, though, nobody really cares about what he says, so they don't post a link. I just had to say that. Thanks and good night.

Not really....
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"

Hmm..... Friends for Life in German is "Freunde fur Leben"
There are 2 dots over that U.
I speak fluent German, I'm from Stuttgart and I will admit I dont' think that's the coolest looking tattoo you could get.
The snake eyes and the tiger eyes are a little cheesy. Btu I like the tiger eyes better.
I am not one to talk about cheesy tattoos, I got one removed and let me tell you IT AIN'T CHEAP AND IT HURTS LIKE A MO FO.
So get something you'll like.
And unless your german I don't know I'd tattoo stuff in german on me...I like it when people say, "Oh your German...I'm German too!" and I'll say, "I'm from Stuttgart--you?" and they'll say "I'm from Jersey!" I know it's cool to eb proud of yoru heritage...but FYI there is NO Jersey in Germany.
If you had to get a phrase... you might want...
"Wer Rastet der Rostet" He who waits...is last

lol....
You have gone about proving my point better than I ever could! Making money or having one special talent doesn't mean that you are an all-around cool person, as you just pointed out! Just because you have attitude and money doesn't mean you have class or intelligence. Getting a "pimp" tattoo doesn't make you classy, intelligent, or rich. It just makes you pathetic. Money isn't what makes people cool or interesting. Money isn't a reason for arrogance.
Besides, even if you want admire or want to be like the people listed above--you're not. I mean, you don't have the millions of dollars, even!
To me, someone is not "the shit" (or what have you) unless they're an ALL AROUND awesome person--talented, fun, non-arrogant, and classy. Your idea of what makes people "the shit" is obviously some weird characteristic you define both as being a "pimp" and having money.
Let me say this:
I go to one of the most upperclass, rich, classy (yes, and sometime arrogant--thus my hatred of arrogance) schools in the nation. Fashion, social aptitude, the whole deal, is important to social life here. Coming from outside this upperclass world and viewing it from the outside, I can tell you that in this elitist segment of the population, neither money nor looks will be enough to get you ahead. The keys are an awesome personality and class. The tattoos you suggested seem to suggest neither, rather they imply arrogance and a faddish, sleazy "pimp" ideal. I'm just warning you that a lot of people out there, a lot of people at the top of society, the ones you seek to emulate, would view these tattoos as pretty dumb. If they're what you want to do, regardless, fine. But you seem to be contradicting yourself.

Being the shit is in the eye of the beholder... I can totally think Britney Spears is the coolest (which she is), and other people will think she is a trashy little lying, no-talent poser.
It comes down to, as Lady Pi Phi says, what the beholder values. Someone will value Howard Stern and hold him as high as someone else may hold Malcolm X. Or, someone may value two people who are totally different, but both exceptional in their own way.
I believe that everyone is the shit, in their own way. I mean, I know of some total computer nerd losers, but they are so intelligent and raking in the cash. That is a reason to admire them, even though I don't enjoy spending time with people like that. They are successful.
I also know some girls who are total dumbasses and can't really hold the most intelligent conversations, but they would give their right arm for their friends and will get your back... always. That makes them the shit in the friend department.
And then there are people like me, who are well-rounded in every way! j/k

A few things....
1. I never said those tatoos would make me the shit.....Don't put words in my mouth.
2. You're a female and I'm a male...our thoughts of what makes someone the shit are not going to coincide....period.
3. I never said I wanted to be like any of the people I mentioned. In fact, I used their names as people I don't like and think are idiots, but they are still the shit according to a large majority of people. If they were'nt they wouldn't be in their current settings.
4. I'm not controdicting anything I said.
5. If you think getting a pimp tattoo makes you pathetic, you're free to think that. Some people don't share the same thought.
6. Stop digging for a fight, your words are feeble.

I think a lot of people would agree that makes someone the shit.
Would it be safe to say some of you are naturalists?

I don't like any of those people I mentioned. Yes, they are losers to many....but you have to admit....they must be doing something right to have gotten where they are.
You're right, money isn't everything....but it can do a lot for you.
Case and point....George W. Bush and many past presidents like him, you have the money, you win the power.

I didn't mean to scare you into never getting just hoping that people do some research. I've seen so many people get liquered up and get inked that have turned out like that website. Its sad, especially when you have people that respect the art and use it to decorate an otherwise boring skin
la de da I won't hop on my soap box though
