Enjoy Life after Graduation, wisely
 
High School Graduation is the greatest time for a teenager. its about saying goodbye to the books, exams, the getting up early, and so on.

when a teenager graduates, all he thinks about is preparing for the exciting stuff in life; going to clubs on weekends, drinking beer, spring breaks at the beach, and so on

U see, theres more to life than all that boring stuff, and besides i dont drink alcohol(most of you know that).
theres getting a job, finding the perfect woman or wife, living in an apartment, watch more sporting events and keeping up with the news on TV(more important that clubs and dancing).

i wanna say to the teenagers out there: please enjoy life responsibly, meaning forget about clubs, beer, cheesy women wearing cheap dresses, the limos. none of that aint worth it.
go to a library on your days off from work or studying(if youre going to college), go to church, keep up with world events & sporting events on TV, find the perfect woman(who wears tight jeans).

To the parents: make sure they enjoy life responsibly, help them prepare for college, find their own place(ahead of time), keeping their jobs, making sure they keep out of drugs and alcohol, understand what they really want. you can do it

You all can. anyways happy graduation to the teenagers passing their SATs and other major exams, and ready to see the real world, wisely.

Good luck teenagers! I know all of you will keep up with sporting events on TV and find the perfect woman who wears tight jeans. I believe in you!

You're not a grown up till you're 25.

What is it about MB that attracts people that make complete WTF topics like this on the daily

DeadChannel 05-22-2015 11:17 PM

It strikes me that this guy wants everyone to be like him.

I mean, I'm not even really talking about the holier than thou post-yuppie thing.

For instance, the watching sports on television thing. Why is that such an important part of living a meaningful life that it bears mention? What if I don't enjoy watching sports? Is that really such a travesty?

Or how about how his rationale for why you shouldn't drink is that he doesn't drink?

Or how about that topic that made that pretty much made the assumption that everyone was Catholic?

And, why should I go to church if I'm not christian? Why can't I live responsibly without bringing magic into it?

And, why are you so opposed to dancing when the word dancer is right there in your name?

Oh, and shouldn't I judge a potential partner by whether I like them and am attracted to them rather than by whether or not their dress is cheap?

BigDGarciaDancer didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose him.

Lost me right here. Speaking of graduations, De Niro spoke yesterday at the NYU Tisch Scool of Arts graduation ceremony. Here's some of what he said. Classic.

Quote:

"You made it — and, you're f—ed."

"You discovered a talent, developed an ambition and recognized your passion. When you feel that, you can't fight it — you just go with it," he explained. "When it comes to the arts, passion should always trump common sense. You aren't just following dreams, you're reaching for your destiny. ... You're an artist — yeah, you're f—d. The good news is that's not a bad place to start."

"Now that you've made your choice — or, rather, succumbed to it — your path is clear. Not easy, but clear. You have to keep working, it's that simple. You got through Tisch, that's a big deal. Or, to put it another way, you got through Tisch? Big deal!

"A new door is opening for you — a door to a lifetime of rejection. It's inevitable," he warned of post-graduate life. "How do you cope? I hear that Valium and Vicodin work! ... You don't want to block the pain too much. Without the pain, what would we talk about?"

"Rejection might sting, but my feeling is that often, it has very little to do with you. When you're auditioning or pitching, the director or producer or investor may have someone different in mind, that's just how it is. That happened recently when I was auditioning for the role of Martin Luther King in Selma! Which was too bad because I could've played the hell out of that part — I felt it was written for me! But the director had something different in mind, and she was right. It seems the director is always right."

Always do your best. "You're not responsible for the entire job, but your part in it. ... You will put your everything into everything you do. You won't judge the characters you play, and you shouldn't be distracted by judgments on the works you're in. Whether you're working for Edward or Rico Fellini or Martin Scorsese, your commitment and your process will be the same."

Rejection — it isn't personal. The actor suggested a mantra for the new grads: "Next!" a phrase to be shouted when "you didn't get that part" or "you didn't get that waiter's job at the White Oak Tavern. ... There will be times when your best isn't good enough. There can be many reasons for this, but as long as you give your best, it's okay. Did you get straight A's in school? If you did, good for you, congratulations. But in the real world, you'll never get straight A's again."

Stay in touch. Pointing to the multiple films he's made with Scorsese, he said, "Treasure the associations and friendships and working relationships with the people in your classes and your easily work. You never know what might come from it," he said in closing. "I'm here to hand out my pictures and resumes to the directing and producing graduates!"

so much excitement watching sports, especially the Olympics(the biggest must-watch sporting event in the universe, a bigger than life event for the family to see).

Watching sports is one of the most boring activities imaginable.

Nevertheless, is it such a travesty if I do not enjoy sports?

I mean, it seems like an arbitrary piece of advice that doesn't apply to everyone.

You're entitled to that opinion but I totally disagree. The last 9 holes of the Player's Championship a couple weeks back was extremely exciting. Last years NHL finals were crazy intense. And the 4th quarter of the most recent Super Bowl was ridiculous.

These people don't look bored. But ya, life without sports is just fine too even though I can't relate to it.

This guy doesn't strike me as someone that's rational and concerns himself with the widely varying interests of human beings. Aka if he likes it he expects you to as well

Not only is watching sports incredibly boring, but the fact that people are so pushy about them actually makes them a frequent annoyance as opposed other boring activities like, say, stamp collecting, which no one screams about in bars or acts astonished at the notion that not every other person is interested.

YorkeDaddy 05-23-2015 10:58 AM

Hey now stop generalizing all sports fans as obnoxious, overweight, Bud Light-chugging rednecks that try and force their interests on everyone else.

Frownland 05-23-2015 11:13 AM

But those people still exist and they contribute to the annoyance that people like Janzsoon and I have towards sports.

Yeah. Some are Bud Light-chugging rednecks that don't try and force their interests on everyone else! :laughing:

I'm not saying they are, but there are a lot more sports watchers who are like that than any other hobby or interest that I can think of. And even when people are low-key and friendly about it, there's always that weird implicit assumption that every other person in the world follows sports and knows what they're talking about. I can't even imagine making those assumptions about my music interests with random people.

Dick.

But seriously, being a Boston fan is fun.

This century we've won 3 World Series of baseball, 1 Stanley Cup in hockey, 1 NBA championship, and 4 Super Bowls.


Frownland 05-23-2015 12:37 PM

I can't imagine how exciting it would be for people who live close to me to win a few games.

I have a question for the American sports fans, is supporting your local team a thing in the US? Or do people not really give a shit? Like here it's frowned upon to support a club miles away from where you live/are from.

Do you lot support your local teams?

Now imagine if Metal Machine Music was talked about on the news every night, was a huge chunk of what you had to pay for to get basic cable, was cheered about in every other bar you went to and was the cornerstone of small talk for about 50% of people you encountered.

That would actually be kind of hilarious for a while. At least talking/hearing about it is different and better than actually hearing the album itself

Oh no, you'd hear it constantly. It would be playing in most bars most of the time, they'd play clips of it on the news, people would have friends over just to listen to it on a regular basis and listening to it would even figure prominently into some holidays.

Eh the comparison started to fall apart there, I don't think sports are as invasive into your everyday life as hearing MMM nearly everywhere one goes would be, I'd probably hang myself within a week
