The worst thing I've ever been called was a disapointment.

As Americans we have it so well. We wake up, get on our computers, get ready, we drive on your paved roads in our new cars listening to our Ipods, and the only thing we care about is living the American Dream. Well, getting ass, getting fucked up, and then the American Dream.


You're being deceived. So what really is the American Dream?

Just a forced idea from the second we had cognitive reasoning.The general idea has been the same since the 1800's. Grow up, get a job, get married, pay taxes, have kids, get a tax break from being married and having kids. Repeat cycle with next generation. There's more to life than settling down.What is there to gain by picking a life long mate this young? Besides some one else who is gonna hate you down the line. Ruin your life, and take your kids away from you. Take you to court for everything you own, and rape your personal identity.

As most people know, I'm a "The glass was never full to begin with" type person. Since when does thinking logically and predicting outcomes in advance make some one a pessimist? Last time I checked that's what we call realists.


Go to college and get that degree. Get out of college. Move back into your parents because you can't find a job in this economy, but be prepared to defer those loans for twenty years. You are now two hundred grand in the hole. For what? The American Dream? You got fucked, and you're too scared to admit it. You now work in a job that pays thirteen dollars an hour, can barely scrape by enough to keep food in the fridge, let alone keep your rampant alcohol problem in check.

The people that fair the best in college are the peoples who parents pay for them to go get a degree in whatever they want. Throw enough money at a school, since we live in a capitalist country, and you'll get anything you want. Give enough money to pay for a gymnasium? Your kid can rape the entire cheer squad and shit on the deans desk and he'll still leave with a degree.

All this coming from a kid who couldn't pass highschool? Talk shit if you will, but chances are we went to the same type of college, and the classes I took were probably a step above yours. Got to love placement tests.  I skated by in school because I knew how to play the system,  how to bullshit and befriend teachers whos classes I couldn't fail and just go to summer school for. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "You have so much potential and you're throwing it all away." I'd have a pretty nice '89 Honda civic.



Pro-tip:  You can fail every English and math class in elementary and high school. Take it in summer classes. (This will probably fall on deaf ears since most my audience is out of high school.)

Oh, word? Unless you plan on going to a college that matters, fuck it. Yes, it cost me close to two grand but think of this: I got the same amount of credits you did. Did maybe a teenth (drug reference) of the work you did. The work was a breeze. It was designed for people who could barely spell their names correctly. Social Engineering people and events to work in my favor since I could walk.

Thanks, awesome fucked up child hood, you did something good for me. Taught me how to lie, cheat, steal and deceive. How to distance my self from feelings and people. I know, "Wah." but fuck you.


This is my American dream.

Who says that you have to go to college to be successful? Some of the most well-to-do families in the area started businesses with little to no experience in marketing, or business practice. Their kids are douche bags, with a "Holier Than Thou" attitude, but at least they're rich. Who cares what you pick for a major if daddy is just going to hand you the deed to the house and keys to the Porsche?


My Grandfather told me when I was younger "If you let people walk all over you and degrade your sense of self worth, you failed as Bazucki.". Thinking back to that day, I now know what he meant. Just do you. Every one around you is doing themselves too and they could give a shit less about your safety, feelings, or what you're doing with your life. (Unless it's something awful.) Everything I've ever learned has been through this man. He was my Father, my best friend and a teacher.



Are you really happy with your life and where it's at now? If you say yes, you're lying. You need to keep chasing and pursuing that dream just like the rest of America if you want to be happy.


Good luck. You'll hit rock bottom at some point. Hopefully you do it sooner, rather than later.
