I decided to come home from college on the weekend just to chill from the usual school, women, parties, etc. Sometimes we all need a mental break but inspiration for my next tip arrived while I was on the john. So here it is:
A lot of people take life foregranted. People put off what they can do tomorrow, not really knowing if they even have a tomorrow to look forward to. This became all too apparent for me approximately three weeks ago.
I was at a party and was buzzing. I spent the past hour or so making out with this beautiful girl and decided to get a breath of fresh air outside. All of a sudden, I feel someone's hand on my shoulder.
"You're white, bro."
Then another hand on my shoulder.
"Around here, thats a problem, bro."
Then a third figure appeared and dragged me by a dumpster about half a mile away from the party. One of the men who was at least three inches taller than me socked me in the face below my eye. I wasn't drunk enough to attempt to fight back but it sobered me up quick. They pistol whipped me which knocked me down to the ground. It was so painful then it became completely numb. Then they punched me in the chin, opening my mouth where one of the guys put a gun in my mouth and c0cked it back.
At the time I didn't know what was going on until after I heard it c0ck back. They all looked at me and said if I screamed, I died. One of the men looked through my pockets. Fortunately I left my wallet and keys at the party but had a $20 bill in my pocket. They took that, kicked me in the stomach, and left. The punch in the chin hit my teeth and I started to bleed in my mouth.
I had no cell phone to immediately contact anyone to come get me and I closely watched them to make sure they wouldn't come back. Man, I was so scared. So scared I was literally paralyzed. I could not move. At first I tried to get up but started to reflect on my life and how basically its been a huge waste.
Think about it; if they pulled the trigger, my life would have ended at age 18. 18. So young of an age and in my case, an especially unfulfilling one.
I had my priorities all wrong with everything: school, women, religion, and all that. In a way, I'm almost glad that those thugs threatened my life and I almost see everything in a different perspective:
1) Live without fear. Fears are almost always unjustified. I'm not scared of death. I don't hate all black people because of what those three did to me. To be relevant on this site, don't be afraid to approach girls. Before, I would always be nervous and tense when approaching a hottie. Now I feel nothing. No nervousness. Yes, I get a large crop of girls that for whatever reason feel the need to turn me down and some even laughed in my face but at this point, life is way too short to give a damn.
2) Live for yourself. Don't be controlled by even the quest for pu$$y. Right now I am talking to/f*cking two girls. Both are drop dead gorgeous but they are not my first priority. My first priority is to do what is fun to me. In college, I am in Graphic Design so I have a multitude of art projects. I do not have the patience to tackle 15-25 hour projects a week. I turn them in late. However I perfect them not for the sake of getting an A but for myself. Before I was really smart but never creative. I am doing this to prove that I do have a creative side. Despite my projects being late, my teachers are usually so impressed with them, I get As on them regardless of when I turn them in.
3) Live for the moment. If you feel like doing something, go for it. Certainly not rape a child or anything that does harm to others but if you feel like at a party going into the middle and busting out a groove, go for it. F*ck the fact that some girls may not really dig your style. If you feel like going up to the hottest girl and talking to her, go for it. I see days determined not by minutes but moments. I come across at least 20 opportunities to do something fun daily, even if most people b1tch about how boring it is.
4) You will not live forever. Hell, by the time you are done reading this, you may have a heart attack and die. Maybe you will be ran over later today. Tomorrow perhaps? Forget this. When that gun was in my mouth, that could have been it. So much wasted potential by saying:
"Oh, f*ck it, I will just work on it tomorrow."
"She is fine as hell but damn, I don't have the balls."
"Forget lifting weights, I'll just watch some Family Guy."
These were all sayings I once had. I would put useless objects such as TV ahead of life. It is said that the average person watches 6 hours of TV a day. I don't have much time to watch 6 hours but come on, these are 6 hours of time that can better be spent increasing your knowledge, hanging out with friends, or doing whatever you want to do. 6 hours! In 40 years, our most crucial years, we spend 87,600 hours in front of the boob tube! 87,600 hours in front of a device that just wastes our time.
Other else than watching movies with friends or having it on while working on my homework, I never watch TV anymore.
Instead of pissing away valuable hours in front of the idiot box, I lift weights, run, and whenever I can make it, play intramural sports. Because I can help accomplish a goal whether it be for a team or for myself. What do you accomplish by watching TV for most of your free time?
"Well, at least I've watched all 300+ episodes of the Simpsons."
Wow, who gives a rat's ass? That is not an achievement. Its a waste of your time, time you will never get back because today is October 5, 2003 and we will never have this day again. Sure, we got October 5, 2004 and so on but 2004 is different than 2003. Make the most of the time.
This is a little long winded so I'll end it. The point is that life should never be taken forgranted. Its just too short and you never know it will end. I would like to die a happy man who has achieved so much in his life and didn't waste a single moment of it.

) and was flirting with other men in my presence. I called her out on it and she was whining about how she thinks I'm so controlling. WTF? We see eachother maybe 5 hours a week at best. Then she throws out every relationship cliché to justify herself. I just told her to make like a tree and leave (my words, yes its dumb but it was hilarious) and for a couple of days she tried to call me but I never returned them. She wisened up and stopped trying.
