Didn't go to college, I'm almost 30 and making damn good money in a cushy, low stress job. I would've gone to school for what I'm doing now, but instead I turned an internship into a paying job. I wouldn't be making much more money at all if I had a degree in my field. But I don't have student loan debts, so I'm actually making more money in the long run. I'm basically self made through hard work. Success and achievement are almost totally in your own hands in my opinion. My wife makes even more money than I do and she's only 27. She is 10 years younger than anybody else she works with and she busted her ass to get to where she is. It's all about how much effort you put in. The kids these days coming out of high school and college have their heads in the clouds and have no idea how much effort it takes on their parts. Especially the ones that don't realize that they can't text message and play on Facebook all day when they have a job. I laugh at the ones that think a job is waiting for them once they get a degree or the ones who think that making $26,000 a year is beneath them. I had my first job when I was 13. A lot of kids these days haven't worked any kind of job at all and they're in college. I'm amazed at their delusion. I may sound like an old man, but it's all true. The reality of life is no easy path and the sooner kids learn this, the better. I'm not saying college is worthless, but it still takes an exponential amount of effort on one's part to make it in the world.

Time moves forward, woopty freaking do.

B****** lie. I'm just sayin'.

Dear Sports Media, We don't f***ing care about everything that comes out of Donovan McNabb's mouth. He's not that important. Dear Donovan McNabb, Shut the f*** up! Shut up, shut up, shut UPPP! We don't give two f***s about you. You suck. Sincerely, JPN

"ThanksKilling" anyone?

Gorge myself on White Castle/Krystal depending on what part of the country I'm in.

I wish I was turning 21 on my next b'day. F***. That would be a $34,000 difference though, so I'm better off.

I'm offended by all this mention of the holiday season.

Merry Xmas, hope Santa doesn't gun you down.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 23, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Does anybody here really like Phegley? I saw quite a bit of him on the Big Ten network and I wasn't impressed at all, or at least I didn't feel he warranted a sandwich round pick. I like what I saw. Defense is all that needs work.

Salvador Sanchez signed with Texas.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 11:46 AM) Pete Rose Jr will manage Bristol. I think this is the move that will put the Sox minor league system over the top. Oh s**t, there goes the planet.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 12:29 PM) the almighty McRib Ewww, that tastes like a hot dog covered in barbeque sauce.

Geico. Because they pass on the costs from their ads to their customers. That animated lizard costs a ton of money.

Hamburger steak, squash casserole, mac and cheese (secret recipe), pecan pie and a bottle of ice cold Dr. Enuf from Tracy's here in Birmingham. Or, an IHOP monster burger and fries with fry sauce and a glass bottle Coke.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 14, 2010 -> 07:46 PM) Golden Globes must be a shame. They keep giving awards to Tina Fey and 30 Rock, there's your answer.

Cheers!

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 13, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) Donny Lucy is one of the more likable guys on the farm. He seems like the type of dude who may never make it as a player but might carve out a career for himself as a coach or manager. It was nice seeing him have the success he did for us last year given all the s*** he's battled through. Good luck to the guy in Charlotte. I wish they would just hire him as a coach.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) I have a black friend. Does that count? I think.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 12, 2010 -> 08:24 AM) Keith, you know the soul I possess is black so that has to count for something. I've been told I'm an honorary member of the African American community because I grew up in a rough area of Birmingham.
