The extent of my cheap bastardness has resulted in a couple amazing things. Here they are in no particular order:
1) My computer is so old that the newest computers out are at least 5 times better then my shit.
2) I'm so cheap, I refuse to buy new 2 dollar sandals. My current ones are falling apart to the point where duct tape, masking tape, scotch tape and rubber bands aren't even holding them together anymore.
3) I will drive an extra 5 minutes to save 2 cents a gallon on gas.
4) My Sketchers dress shoes look like dogs chewed on them.
Some I'm not proud of, and some i'm secretly proud of. But, you have to realize that I'm not a cheap bastard, only when it comes to some things (like footwear). I still drink only bottled water, I'm poor because my car demands good things, I love eating good food, I throw money away frivolously on trinkets and baubles, and as my mom says, I "spend money like it's water". So... it's all balanced.
Next subject. Here's a good quote I saw on my co-worker's email sig: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" ~Eleanor Roosevelt~
This is exactly the shit I try to get people to understand. No matter what I say, or how condescending I am, or how much I criticize people's actions... It is good to realize that in the end, it's just MY OPINION and that your the only one who can make you or break you.
On my end and for my own justification (for those who would criticize me for doing what I do), sometimes people are dumb and oblivious to the world. Other people also want to say things, but they don't because they don't want to "hurt other people's feelings" and bs like that. Well, I'm just trying to break the hesitation and just say what's on my mind. Go ahead and feel free to say what's on your mind to me. I'll thank you for it. Sure, it might not change me, but i'll listen. Oh, and sometimes my 'thank you' may slip out of my mouth as a "fuck you, slutbag" but if you take away the words and break it up into letters, and then take a bunch of the letters out and replace them with others, in actuality, i'm really saying "thank you" but in my own little language.
And hey, that's all I expect from you, my adoring fans (all 8.1 of you).
