Let's talk about homeless people, rather: you read this. There are tons and tons of homeless people. A lot of them try to sell you random stuff like hand-made paintings, I mean some of them have kind of cool stuff, but a lot of them are just homeless people. They're always there, and so many of them are harassing people for cash or something. A part of me feels bad for them, but at the same time, if you're going to spend your entire day harassing people, why not switch it to doing something productive. And I can't, obviously, hate these people because there are some that really did just fall on hard-times or they got into drugs and it just tore their life apart. And I got through these phases in life where I just want to help everyone, but there are also times where I just think "forget it." What in my mind defines a person? It's not just their successes, it's not just their life, but rather how they have bounced back from when life $#!^ on them. It bothers me, and I want to move on from homeless people. Homeless people are homeless people.
When you, in your life, hit a hard patch -what do you do? Do you give up? Because then your that kind of person. Do you persevere? Then your that kind of person. Or do you just wade through it? You know, it's still there. You're that kind of person. Those are the kind of people that are in the world. And life does that to you a lot. Life dumps on you a lot. I've had to bounce back so many times. Many a times, I didn't really bounce back. I was just bottom feeding. I was wading through life. And that's the thing - I'm not better than anyone. Most of my successes were because I kept trying even though I was failing half the time. You just have to keep trying. I realize that I can fail every now and again, that I can make mistakes. I just try not to make a habit of it. I don't just give up because that's the kind of person I am. A lot of the things and the way I am is because I see things that I do not like. I share how I share because I see all these two-faced liars. That just lie straight to peoples' faces about who they are because they feel bad about it, or they know people will look down upon them. So I try to stay as honest as possible and I try to work as hard as possible. I've been around people who are just so, so, so lazy, and I always think if I'm that person then someone's going to feel that way about me.
We have opportunities that we may not get again, so let's do everything we can. Let's have fun, try new things, let's take the chance while we can. Internet people are not special, we're not complicated. We're everyone. You know? Use your chances. It's like that Eminem song that wasn't about killing and raping his wife. The one about achieving your dreams.
When people complain about anything in life, just remember the world is filled with C students. Now, there is no reason to be offended, and no, it's not an elitist comment of academic grades not meaning anything. What I mean is C students in life. The people that can, but don't. Not the people that bust their backs and they get a C. You busted your ass on a test, and got a C. Maybe you're not a good test taker, I don't know. But when you half-ass your way to mediocrity - I can't respect that. At all. At all, at all.
I hope this doesn't come off as "Cameron hates homeless people." I don't hate homeless people, I just love people who bounce back. Yeah, be that person.
I plan to blog again. Somewhere soon, and stuff. Also, I'd love to know what you guys think about this. I'd like to know what your most interested about in all this is.
Eminem has a song that isn't about raping his wife...? Where?
