It's not so much the realization that you are able to do those things, but the ability to take a step back and truly appreciate the things that everyone takes for granted day to day.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:I made that realization, like 99% of the rest of the world around age 3.Xatrei wrote: Maybe when you're his age, you'll understand.

That's just it. I guess this resonates with me more because my grandpa died a few weeks ago and I have been really down on myself about the amount of time I spent with him these last few months.Xatrei wrote:I don't think that you do get it. His point has nothing to do with the fact that he has legs or that he's able to use them to move around. His point is that we take so many things for granted. Our lives, our health, our friends, our families or the fact that most of us can go buy a little luxury without having to sweat the cost too much. We get so wrapped up in our day to day problems that we often forget how special those "little things" are. That's not something most teenagers or even most adults really recognize. How many people go to their graves wishing they'd spent more time pausing to smell the flowers, so to speak? How many wish they'd spent more time with their loved ones? How many wish they hadn't wasted so much time worrying about how bad they have it when so many others have it so much worse?
I really do get it. I don't need your repeated explanations. I get it. Those deep thoughts were the things I went through went I was a teenager. During a time of innocence and lots of expendable time for such thought. As kids, marriage, 70 hour work weeks came into play the time for such thoughts don't exist and are not productive. I wish I was as sucessful as Mr. Combs and could afford to spend time thinking about things like that. Again, I repeat, I'm not trashing him. I found it amusing. I'm sorry you needed to take it so seriously. I'm sorry about your grandfather Funk. I've lost 2 of my 4 grandparents so far. As you lose people you do tend to do some reflecting.Xatrei wrote:I don't think that you do get it.

Thanks. I have also. I have been trying to think of how my mom must feel no longer having either of her parents, so I try to think about both of mine being gone and it just makes me sick to my stomach. I have had more death in my family and friends than I think most people by my age, and I guess I always thought it would get easier, but it never really does.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:I really do get it.

There's my troll. The color of a person's skin is not important to me. You may conitnue to label me as such if you must, but it is not true.Spang wrote:Midnyte doesn't like P. Diddy, because he's black.
Diddy is a very intelligent and cunning business person. Dismissing musical talent because he samples is ridiculous, imo. He can be a prick, but it's funny, and mostly for show. I personally think you are off base here.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:There's my troll. The color of a person's skin is not important to me.

I don't care for him though. But, it's because every hit has been a remake of a true artist who "created" their music. Plus he's a scumbag.

I'm pretty certain the CEO of Enron is a very intelligent and cunning business person. Why can't Mr. Combs be a very intelligent and cunning business person and also be a scumbag?Funkmasterr wrote:Diddy is a very intelligent and cunning business person.

Thanks
Don't confuse defending the guy's remark with defending the guy. I'm no fan, and wouldn't give a rat's ass if he was run over by a bus tomorrow. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to talk all kinds of smack about him, but this video isn't one of them, imo.Nick wrote:Now to watch the people who have nothing better to do than defend a moron like P Diddy. .... it could be you!
and people call me emo? *puke*Xatrei wrote:No one said it was eloquent, just that somewhere in all that rambling he makes a valid point. It's certainly not a brilliant new revelation that no one has ever considered before (he doesn't seem to be claiming otherwise). While it's something that virtually all of us know on a fundamental level, how many people lose sight of it in their lives? Maybe it doesn't apply to everyone, but I think that most people would do well to spend a little more time genuinely appreciating the really important things in their lives, and reflecting upon how good their lot in life really is compared to most other people with whom we share this planet.
Like a baby.Xatrei wrote:If thinking that it's important to recognize and appreciate the important people and things in your life is emo now, then I guess so. At least I didn't cry at the conclusion of Californication last year, pussyboy.
