Cut-it-out (uncle Joey style)

I posted this in 2008. Read it again, or for the first time!


Top 10 Phrases to never utter aloud for ANY reason in my proximity:

10. Any lyrics from "I hope you dance"
If I want to sit it out I will, if I want to take crap for granted, I will

9. "Stop and smell the roses"
Why? I perfer something more exoctic, roses = omnipresent reminders of how
someone else has their life so together, they have time to garden...


8. "Every cloud has a silver lining"
SO not true. Crap happens and sometimes you have to learn to cope and deal and move on without something fantastic occuring to snap you out of it.


7. "They'll get theirs in the end"
100% BS. Some people never get theirs. Some people will do evil things to you and not only will they not care, they want ever feel bad about it or have anything momentous occur that Karma sends in retaliation. Try reading "Without Conscience".


6. "Sure they're rich, but are the truely happy?"
YES YES YES YES!!!!! They are unbelievably happy. Not just because they can
afford everything they want, but money doesn't grow on trees for a reason.
Stupid people would waste it, leading to an excess in consumption followed by the over harvesting and erradication of that species of tree... Of course their happy to be rich. When was the last time your hard work payed off and you weren't happy?


5. "Every time a door closes, a window opens"
Get out of that house that's on fire by waiting for the window to open if you
want, but I'm not going to sit around looking for the miricle. You have to take crap sometimes, and it sucks, but there is not always an escape ready to bail you out. You've gotta get yourself out!


4. "God helps those that help themselves"
If you can help yourself what do you need God for? Or are you helping Him
help you? I didnt realize you were so good that you and Jesus sit around
deciding what mircle to work next in your life, with your help of course.


3. "Good things come to those who wait"
Not be be confused with biding your tide, however, what are you waiting
around for? You want it, go get it!

2. "No, really I'm cool with black people, I (fill in the blank)"
Wrong answer. Just because I'm black, why do I care about the rag tag collection of black people you passed in the hall in high school and were "cool" enough with to wave at. I DONT CARE that one was your best friend or your uncle married one or that you lived in the ghetto, which by the way forces me to believe that you think the ghetto is comprised of black people. So what if you feel uncomfortable around me during certain conversations, it's cool. You're not Bill Clinton! I'm cool with that!

1. I'm not sure, give me some time and I'll find something bitter.
