The Question: Keepapudaxta, what do you want to be when you grow up? or more importantly, what should I be when i grow up? i think i want to be a bum, but i want your opinion first... (Asked by Saylorellis)
Ok... lots of ground to cover here... Let's start with you... Before I begin though I think it needs to be said that we are both as grown up as we're gonna get unfortunately... Granted, we may not have reached our charted destinations yet, but suffice it to say you aren't getting any younger brotha... At this point its just a race against protein synthesis... Look forward to old balls and the ability to get away with causing a public scene under the camouflage of senility... So yeah, now that we got that out on the table... Let's address the question at hand...
So you are striving to be a bum huh? I think that's aiming a little low, but on the same note, success is only attainable after you completely stop listening to everyone else's opinions and critiques... I'll leave it to the college professors and military recruiters to convince you not to be a bum... In the last two sentences I have decided to support your occupational decision... If you really want to be a bum, I say you start as a rapper and work your way up... You will be homeless in no time... You would however have to be willing to live in a major city (or anywhere in south FL), but if there are no apprehensions with those locations than your set...
Since were on the subject and I have time to really sit and think on it, being a bum pan handler is very similar to being a server, only you don't have to bring the people you have no interest in talking to a damn thing and when your a bum the pay is a hell of a lot better (not to mention your extremely low overhead)... Server or bum, either way, an equal amount of lying is taking place in that conversation...I do hope however that you are not choosing this career out of laziness, because let me tell you... Server, bum, or any other activity that keeps you on your feet all damn day is fuckin exhausting...
Here is the irony in it all... if you take yourself out of the context of the way you are used to thinking and really qualify assets gained versus hours spent, I would be willing to hypothesize that pan handling is not only a lot more lucrative than a lot of people's day jobs, but also more labor intensive and exhausting... If anyone reading this disagrees, I must only ask "Have you ever watched Youtube.com while you were at work?" Exactly... So coming full circle I care to revise my original statement when I said that you were aiming low in your career path... You are just being a lot more hardcore about early retirement... Well played saylorellis... (BTW it's ok to use the word "bum" because it stands for "Beware Unpredictable Maniac" and safety comes first...)
As for what I wanna be down the road... hmmmmmm...... I would say anything from a lion tamer to a chariot salesman and everything in between... For now though I will stick with accounting... Numbers know what's up...
Anyways hope this helped,
