I figure to celebrate this milestone because i wont likely do it again until approximately 2024!
If i got to get ten times as much vote power as i did up to here, that's 80 months!
I crossed over from 65 rep to 66.
I was really bummed watching it drag on and on, knowing that if i would get my attitude a shave and haircut those numbers would add up much faster.
But f' that, if the community rejects an honestly authentic me, why in the hell would i change to fit into it better?
Money?
Im an f'n communist, money is my satan, so definitely not money.
Popularity?
I despise most popular people for getting their hairs cut, putting on a tie, and playing the needed role to be accepted at the soul selling market's window.
Where is the honesty in that?
Oh yeah, there is none, its lying.
Friends? They only really count if you get to meet them in real life.
Fame? Infamy is just as good.
Especially, if you reject the criteria imposed by the status quo.
Nah, better i make me happy.
Many of you may be wondering why i am so stuck on honesty.
Its because i was unsuccessful as a liar.
Had i been a better salesman maybe i would feel different about brooke's brothers' suits.
But who the hell is brooke, and why should i pay a premium for her brothers' suits?
Used clothes don't really excite me.
One day it occured to me that i wasnt really interested in lying my way to wealth, popularity, or anything else.
A friend had pointed out that they can take your money, they can take your time, dignity, and privacy, but your honesty, you have to give that away.
Nobody can make you lie, they can make you wish you had lied, but you chose to be a liar.
They can make you feel worthless, but only if you let them, you have to give away your self worth, too.
F' that, take your life by the reins and reign as its king, or queen.
You own the few cubic decimeters between you ears, act like it.
Stop accepting a status quo that doesnt make you feel like a valuable, cherished, contributing member of it.
We only get one go around, with this consciousness, dont waste two seconds of it on anything less.

Well, congratulations.
The milestone matters because you did make it there by being yourself.
This is true, ive been grumpy all along.
Thanks.
Congratulations you old Grumpy Bastard...
Lol, thanks.
Congratulations on your new milestone! Always be true to yourself! Honesty is the best policy! That was a rule in our household and has stood the test of time!
Thank you.
Telling a lie makes the problem part of your future.
Telling the truth makes it part of the past.
Good point!
Yeah, well done Freebornangel.
Life's too short to be anybody but yourself. :)
Congrats, hope your path forward is prosperous.
Thank you!
My husband is a fanatic about being lied to...
When we first met he told me... there are three things don't ever do
His motto is "A lie hurts worse than the truth... no matter what the lie is..."
AND congratulations on the new milestone!!
Thank you.
I agree, id rather hear the truth than live a lie.
