Why do you assume I'm poor? I have my own business, too. Actually, a business overseas here in Japan to be more specific. Tsk tsk...see where those rash subjective judgements lead you?
If obtaining the imaginary dollars and cents outside of you is what gets your rocks off, then so be it. But don't act as if by earning some meaningless digits it somehow puts you in a higher status bracket than me, son. If I felt those little numbers to be so important I would've already done laps around you, and probably have in many regards. Fortunately for you, I have different priorities and I couldn't care less about how many of those meaningless digits are in my pocketbook, but needless to say, I have enough to be well taken care of. I already have what I want and build from there...Creativity, inspiration, and music being some of them.
To each their own. Good luck on your quest to be the first in your family to get the highest score in the pinball game. Make sure those initials stay at the top as long as economy holds and someone doesn't trip over the power cable and the lights go out.
With all due respect, allow me to step into my subjective ego for just one quick side question. I see you are in Mississippi. Pardon my bias from my past dealings with other people from Mississippi on here, but, what on earth could possibly be so lucrative coming out of Mississippi? I just don't see it. Besides, Textile steel mills, roofing, and TV/VCR repair...What else is there? I don't get it. The next Dixie Chicks album?
Besides a chance at scoring with a relative...what could possibly be so hot about residing and setting up shop in Mississippi? Especially a successful enough business to afford one the free time to spend the last 3 months writing 854 posts and looking for the proverbial pat on the back on a DreamViews web site? Dunno... Perhaps I'm the only one here, but...a red flag went up on that for me. Can we say, delusions of grandeur much? I doubt being a mere consultant GEOFFREY R HARPER (2257259) for a drink company based out of Utah pays all that well. Or am I missing something? :shrugs: [/subjective ego trip]
Thinking with the ego can be fun for a while, and even give you a sharp pang of power for a split second, but those moments don't last for very long. As it goes with any subjective choice you jump on with blind passion and fervor...Unfortunately, at the end of the day those subjective choices we cling to so desperately more often than not just end up making us look a dick.
