Im Getting Too Old For This



That title is something i've been hearing a lot lately from different people. Mainly from people in my own age group from their late 20s to early 30s. And for the life of me, I have no clue why people think that way. We've all heard that age is just a number, and I would agree that its true in most cases. Ok, sure when we age you may get a new wrinkle, or maybe certain parts of you may start to sag. However, this has nothing to do with your mind and who you are. Unless of course you want to get into stuff like an 80 year old person with alzheimer's, but thats not what im talking about here.

What I am talking about is the mindset that people put themselves into where they tell themselves their too old to do things they once liked. This mindset is usually brought on by what the masses think is acceptable. I really think this is stupid. Why can't people simply be an individual and not care what others think. Growing older should be about learning, and not caring what others think is acceptable. Im 30 years old, and many people that are in their 20s seem to think that when one hits 30, or 40, that they somehow need to change. I really see no reason why someone in their 40s should be any different from one in their 20s. Now of course I realize that people do change over time. They learn new things, and experience new things. Still, this does not mean that one has to change their personality all together, or give up things they enjoy.

In the end, if you like to do something that you don't feel comfortable doing because of your age, then just do it. Screw what others think. If you're having fun and no one else is getting hurt, then just do it. If people look at you weird, then let them look. If they think bad things about you, then let them think. You're only as old in your mind as you think you are, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. If getting older means dressing up in a suit and tie, taking everything serious and going along with the masses, then I say no. Maybe some people enjoy being a mindless drone, but I don't.

Nothing to Blog About



I really don't have any one thing in mind to blog about tonight, so im gonna make this one up as I go along.

Anyway, today was yet another very non-eventful day here in Fall River. About the most I did was help my brother move a few things over to his new apartment. Of course his lazy gf didn't do a damn thing to help. She just stood up in the apartment standing there while we did all the work. I nearly told her off, but I wasnt in the mood to argue. Besides, im leaving in just over a month, so i'd rather keep my last few weeks in this dump as peaceful as possible.

I was just talking to a net buddy of mines and she just showed me some amazing pictures she took. I have a decent camera of my own, but I never really used it for much besides some stop motion work and pics of gaming stuff and whatnot to post in gaming blogs. I did however use it last spring when I went over to Newport, RI with my friend. Im not quite sure where the pics are, but I likely have them on disk someplace. I just hope it wasn't on one of the disk I already packed away. That would really suck since I want them again before I leave. Im not really too sure which box I packed them in either, so opening a bunch of boxes is not an option right now. Ah well, if thats the case then im gonna try and head up there once more with one of my friends before I move. If anything, Branson looks like a beautiful place, so there should be plenty of nice spots to take pics there.

I See Fat People



Last night I was helping my brother move some of his stuff out of here and into his new apartment and I discovered some things about myself. First off was that my pants felt a little tight. Second, was that a few trips carrying stuff up and down to a thrid floor was tiring me out. Seems as if i've gained abit of weight, and im getting out of shape. So whats the problem, am I eating like a pig? Nope, thats not it at all. My problem is lack of exercise. You see, I love to walk places. I used to walk all over. A half hour to an hour walk that most my friends cry about as being too much, I love. The problem is, I really don't go out walking much anymore. Why not? Well, there's really no place to go here for one. And 2, walking through most places in this city over the past few years is not a very smart thing to do. Heck, with the Puerto Rican gangs that moved in down my street, I don't even like walking down there anymore. It seems that more and more people are getting fed up with it to, as shown by the "Home for sale" signs popping up all over.

So what is Scott going to do to avoid being a fat fuck? Well, if you read my last blog, you would know that im moving to Missouri next month. Thankfully crime where im moving to is very low, and from the looks of it, it seems to be a great place to be for people like myself who love long walks, and hiking. One thing is certain though, I will not become a fat fuck again. Yes, I was one one of those when I was like 13. I think I hit around 230 or so. I just got tired of being fat one day and stopped eating so much. Within a few months I lost all the weight needed and was no longer fat. So, right now is the time for me to put a stop to things before I start getting anyplace close to that weight I once was. Haha, sadly out in the Branson area im moving to, there's tons of great resteraunts. Im just hoping those don't get the best of me. If they do i'll have to make darn sure I take any gained weight off before it loses control.

On a related note, I would like to talk about fat people in general. Before I get into it though, please understand I am not mocking anyone who is overweight due to a medical problem or anything like that. I am am mocking these people who sit on their ass all day watching sports while shoving all sorts of fatty foods into their face all day. Im also mocking these similar morons who constantly eat fast food from places like McDonalds, only to sue them when they get too fat or have a heart attack. My fucking word some people need to get a clue. Also, if you are a fat person and are happy with your weight and have no issue then great. I have no problems with that. You're comfortable with yourself and you are not blaming everyone else for the weight. That I can respect.

As a once fat person myself, I know full well how much it sucks, so don't tell me how I don't understand how it is to be made fun of for being fat. So in short, if you are fat because you eat too much and never attempt to exercise, you should be mocked for your stupidity, just as I was when I was younger. Seriously, its like a person driving a car that they know has bad breaks. If they keep driving that car and get into an accident, then I have no pity for their stupidity. Just like if you keep eating shitty food, knowing that its bad for you, I have no pity for you getting fat.

Another thing I would like to bring up is normal sized girls who think their fat. Why is it so many normal sized women I know are under the impression that their fat when their not? Big deal if a girl is 10-20 pounds overweight and not rail thin. It just means she's human and actually eats. What even sadder is that most these women are so worried about their weight and health, yet you constantly see them sipping down aspartame products like diet sodas. That crap has got to be one of the worst things you can possibly take in. Im not gonna get into the whole asartame thing more then that, but those who do drink alot of it, would do well to do a little research on it for themselves.

Back to fat people, I would also like to add that fat people are funny. Want some proof, then just watch Weird Al's "Fat" video. Its hilarious. Better yet, check out "Fat Bastard" from the "Austin Powers" films. Plus another thing that may be considered funny is that many (not all) fat people stink. Yes they stink as if they havent showered in a week. Im not sure exactly why this is the case, but they do. Could it be that they have a hard time reaching into some of the rolls of fat on them when they wash? Hmm, maybe they don't wash at all. I recall meeting some girl through a friend that worked in a bakery at a local supermarket. This girl was fat. Now I knew she was a heavy girl, but she lied to me about her weight before meeting her. Now I wouldnt have held that against her if she were honest. It also didn't help that I could smell her from 20 feet away, and that when I met her and shook her hand she was all sweaty. Needless to say, I never ate at that bakery again. Could you blame me?

First post garbage


I've been viewing a net buddies blog here for a few days and have decided to do one of my own. I normally blog on a game related site called 1UP, but sometimes there's stuff I want to blog about that doesnt quite fit right there. Im not 100% sure where im going with this, but I figured i'd give it a shot. If anything, its probably more interesting then My Space.
