Coming to terms with my feelings. Long, sorry.

Quote from MarketMasher:
This is true of course - but mostly for entrepreneurs. Guys/Gals who start and grow a successful (legal) business deserve the fruits of their labors.
Of course, there are the guys who hop on board companies and run them into the ground, collect golden parachutes, and stick it to the stockholders.
So "rich guy" may not be a good term. Maybe "entrepreneur" is better.
There is a saying that adversity is like alcohol - it doesn't make you different, it just makes you more of what you already are.
If you can abandon the way you behaved before with no regrets, then maybe you never were that way to begin with. How you behaved before was a facade - something to satisfy what you deemed to be societal acceptability.
So be what you are within the limits of legality.
There is one recurring test to do that might help. At night in bed when it is quiet, say to yourself "This is my deathbed. I'll never see the morning sun. I'm glad I became the person that I am."
Because one day (if you're lucky enough to go that way) it's gonna happen.
If it passes your personal smell test, it's all good.
Can't argue with any of this at all. But don't you think that sometimes a person just goes "you know what? enough of this BS." I mean, why fight the tide?
We're not the only ones reeling in the wake of our majority of 'give me' voters.
Virginia's 13 electoral votes went to President Obama for the second straight election, and the proprietor of a store in the south central city of Bedford is not hiding his dismay.
Lyons Jewelers hung up multiple signs on the windows of the shop indicating the shop would not be open for business Wednesday, including one saying the store was closed to "mourn the loss of the America that our forefathers endowed to us," WDBJ reported.
"Lyons will reopen tomorrow to continue the fight against a president who seeks my demise" and "Shame on VA & USA" read two other signs.

Tsing . . . how much of blame would you place on that bunch of fuckups you would refer to as the hierarchy of the Republican Party? In my opinion they don't seem fit enough to even organize a piss up in a brewery.
Maybe you guys ought to start a thread about that..
I'm surprised to hear you listen to the same redneck shit that I do. lol. I always pictured you as a George Constanza type, who maybe listened to Barry manilow.
That's about the jest of it. On a similar but different topic, my wife might have a different opinion, if ya' know what I mean.
It's always good for me though.
I never heard that song. Just listened to it, and yep, that would be me. Probably that's what we're all thinking.

LOL!
While Constanza is funnier than shit in Seinfeld, I am the complete opposite. 6 foot 5, 240 or so pounds, pretty decent shape. Drive a truck (though it IS a nissan), have a 30 aught 6 and listen to country music. I do like classic rock, though, and can sometimes be found around my house yelling "Serenity now!"
