Vindication.
I want to tell you all a story of how getting into CAL or UCLA or any of the schools of that caliber is a big deal to me. Let me explain my Vindication so you can finally see what you think isn't true. My life isn't a mirage in front of your eyes. All this is true. Let me tell you a story of a boy. Let me tell you.
I was a smart kid. I really was. I could read at the age of 4 years old. My mom used to always tell me about that. I had a big family just about 5 kids. All boys. I was the fourth born child. The forgotten one.
All my brothers were big athletes in our town. I mean big enough where if I told you there name you could probably Google and myspace them. I was overwhelmed by my brother Chris that was closest to my age. Instead of playing basketball or football I choose to play baseball to get away from the pressure. I couldn't deal with all of it. I went on in high school to play sports and basically just fuck around.
I lived the life of a rebel. I messed around, drank, partied, and fucked girls. I didn't even realize that college was an option until my older brother went to college and I went to visit him. I was mesmerized. I was fucking mesmerized in awe, from the spectacular site I saw. He got girls, he partied, and he was known. But the main thing I liked was this...
The respect. The respect he got couldn't be measured in a on a scale. It was insane. I grew up in a rich part of our town and all my friends were going to college. All the ones I had hung out with in my younger years. I had taken to hanging out with the wannabe gangster, and druggy kids. They didn't judge me but they didn't help me excel either.
I was looked upon as the failure. After high school I was the fuck up kid. It didn't matter what I did. I did not go to a "Big School" to play sports and that is all that mattered in my town, with my family, and also my friends. At least my old friends.
My druggy friends took delight at looking at the former "star" athlete brought down to there level. Whenever I talked about moving out of my slump they would rebuff my efforts and tell me that I couldn't make it. It couldn't be done. I was already a year out of high school. Why would I move? I fell into the abyss. Then one day I said fuck it.
I decided to leave. My first goal was to "State" where my brothers went to school and played out. That was my goal. So I moved out played baseball and did that. I got an offer from "State" and I knew if I went there I would always hear whispers that I was only there because of my brother or else my family name. So I choose to fight on.
I went out and took all the hardest classes in the school and basically busted my ass. Everyone in my town knows that I'm out here and had all expressed how worthless and how I would fail. I wasn't the right type. Who did I think I was to deserve anything better than a job at the gas station? I fucked up at an elite high school. I didn't deserve anything.
I deserved dirt. That is what I heard uttered from my coaches at my high school. I was the fuck up. They didn't need the thoughts that they propagandized about me changed. They didn't want to look like fools. They wanted to discourage me.
I even went home to get Transcripts and my high school Coach tried to find out where I was going to school and look through my "shit" I gave him a look like let me the fuck go. He went around and spread a rumor at the school that I was going to some "Great" school for baseball that I hadn't heard back from yet. I was furious but such is my small little rich town.
I came back out and I went through injuries, pain, and hate at my JC. But I kept my head up and didn't change my ethics or else my philosophy on friends, people and respect.
People hate to hear someone say they want to do something great. All you ever hear back is who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? When some people find out your dreams they will try to destroy it because they can't fathom a better life or even a better way for them. There are Coaches who went to small schools that will try and stop you from going to some "Big" School because they didn't make it that far. It's a grimey game. I went through my "Terminal Wanderlust".
Terminal Wanderlust- A condition common to people of transient middle-class up bringing. Unable to feel rooted in any one environment, they move in the hopes of finding an idealized sense of community in the next location.
I felt lost. I just ran off to a new state on my own. The only way for me to make it was to forget and escape my past. I had to get far enough away where no one knew me to succeed. We have all done it have we not? I had to start from scratch my "Etch a sketch" of life was too messy. I couldn't succeed any other way.
I saw my brother, my friends who all went to schools like Washington State, USC, U of Miami, DUKE, UNC and I felt inadequate to say the least. I went through "Green Division".
Green Division- To know the difference between envy and Jealousy.
I went through all of that and decided I had to make my own name. I had to take my own path. I also had to take my "road not taken" I basically wanted to be my own man. So I moved out states away and lived on my own. I worked the club job, I did the school work, and I had no car for a while. I did it from the bottom to the top.
I meet people who all wished they had one more chance at life. From the lower rung Mexican immigrants that I worked with at the bar who just wished that they could make one more dollar. To middle aged guys who all wished that they could go back to school and have one more chance at it. To the guys who were 40 + with kids a wife and mortgage working the night shift with me urging me to go on and not quit school or baseball.
I was going through my "Fame induced Apathy".
Famed induced Apathy- The attitude that no activity is worth pursuing unless one can become very famous pursuing it. Fame-induced apathy mimics laziness, but its roots are much deeper.
I wanted to play baseball to get the fame that my brothers and some of my friends had. I wanted it like a heroin fix. I felt if that happened all my problems with respect would disappear. But after my injury I got over it. I learned I didn't want anything of that sort. I just wanted to be what I should have been if a teacher or someone had given me a chance.
After my dad passed away when I was younger I was lost. Instead of someone stepping in and telling me how to go about life. The entire life had a "hands off" approach to me. They couldn't see or tell I was just a kid lost. They left me to my own devices and the decadence followed. Then I find myself right now in a situation.
I'm in "Option paralysis".
Option paralysis- The tendency, when given unlimited choices, to make none.
I was in that situation after my first year. I was scared of transferring also I came here to go to a certain school and I wanted it. I didn't want to settle this time in my life. I didn't want to take something I didn't want. So I turned down my brother's school, and also a couple of others. I wanted a UC. I wanted UCLA and also Cal or else Stanford. That is what I felt I deserved.
Then I got it. It was insane. I was hearing from kids in my honors classes that they were getting in. I refused to check. I didn't check at all. I was so scared. I didn't want the pit of thinking that I wasted another year here for nothing. But I got an email that gave me some financial aid. I checked and I was still "pending" then I check again and I got in.
It was like the moment in "Pulp fiction' where they open up the fucking suitcase and they don't tell you what is in it but it is the most glorious sight you have ever seen. It was just like that. I felt vindicated. I hope those of you get to feel this feeling of satisfaction, self worth, and also plan and simple joy. I feel like I am worth something.
All the kids in my classes are cooing and awing over the fact that I got into UCLA and Cal. They look at me and just tell me how important it is. How high it is ranked. I just smile back.
I didn't even tell my mom or my bro's yet. I told them all I was planning on dropping out a week ago and also that I was over it. They think I'm headed to Wisconsin or something to try and go to a JC. I sent my mom a sweatshirt of my school for mother's day. She's going to be pretty stoked. So am I.
It took me an approximate time of about 2 ½ to 3 years to change my life, study habits, values, and ethics around. I'm happy I did when I did. I have my vindication.
Vindicated... better than top ten pussy...
Blow me up, Uber.

Not really method. I just understand uber to a "T". I'm hated because I represent a culture that is not popular here. I'm the "Jock, Frat, rich guy type" that they have always been jealous of since high school.
Blah blah, sick parties.
blah blah, worked my ass of at JR college but was the coolest guy.
I'm a balla'. But humble as well.
----------------------------
First off what the fuck is the jock, Frat, rich guy type who hangs out with druggie gangsters? You sound like aloser who watches a lot of movies.
If you had so many sick parties, and cool buds to party with, and hot chicks to bang, what are you doing here? You obviously aren't chained to the desk (the only worthwhile reason to be here). You are full of shit if you say you are having a blast in college but can't find bettert hings to do than this.

I only get on uber at work. Hell even when I was posting once a day it was ALWAYS from work.

I honestly can't relate with what you've experienced - I'm a morbidly obese virgin that barely sees the light of day, unfortunately, which is why I try so hard to be popular on an anonymous website, amongst my fellow trolls.
I took online classes in business administration, and I just got promoted to floor manager at Best Buy (was part of the Geek Squad before). It's pretty sweet, actually, because I get to sit in the back office now more behind a one way mirror, so that I can see people, but they can't see me. It's like the internet, only I get paid for it!

Guys; chill. He's make-believe. The fact that his English skills fluctuate between non-existent and a level suspiciously reminiscent of apollo's would be the prime indicator. Also, real OC rejects don't waste their time pursuing the acceptance of a faceless internet mob.

How's this for fair; take a series of camwhores around campus holding up Method's prescribed sign. I want at least one in front of the Cal Tech sign, and a few in front of the main buildings. And no photoshop bullshit. That should take the average (real) human being all of twenty minutes. Have it done by tommorow or you're lazy. I'm going to assume you're an alter either way, but at least this would prove that you're an alter with friends in California.

Apathetic is exactly right, but what is wrong with apathy? I mean, in no more than 100 years at the max you will be dead, so why do you care what you do? No one will remember you.
LIFE: You strive and strive to better your life. You work hard and never are happy. Then you die. The end.

So you got into a big school.
It doesn't mean shit if you don't work your ass off and get a degree that's worth something. There are tens of thousands of people graduating from places like Harvard & Yale that have Bachelors in psychology, fine arts, and african american studies who are still by all measures....losers.
you won an opportunity, you haven't even done the hardest part, stop patting yourself on the back.
Lastly, when you actually go out and get a job the schools name might mean a little something in regards to you getting an interview, but after a few years of work the only thing that matters is experience anyway.

PerkMan, it's always the excuse that it's how your family raised you, but who says you need to be "worth" anything? Does this affect you on a fundamental level? I'd be content being a hermit, living far away and sitting around thinking all day. Would I "accomplish" anything? No. Would I be happy? Yes. Why do you want to "accomplish" anything if you sacrifice happiness in the process?
________________________________________
I don't know. I was at one point in my life someone who didn't get respect. I was mistreated and felt ashamed for not having done nothing. While all my family members were accomplishing a lot of goals. I don't know. I think going to college and graduating is one of the things that I will be content about. I will be content with UCLA or Cal as a college. That is something that I have that no one can take anyway from me. It's priceless in my eyes and I'm proud I made it here. I don't a lot of things make me happy. But I just feel you have to accomplish things to truly be happy. Living the life of a bohemian or that type could be happy for you. But I like respect. I feel a man isn't anything without his respect. The only way to get it in this society is to excel. So I will excel that is the only way. I will be happy I know it. Just a few more thing I have to do. This was the first step towards my happiness. I actually said I wanted this and I got it. Do you know how exclusive it is to go to UCLA or even CAL people work there whole lives towards these schools and I went and got it. That makes me happy. I don't find happiness in material things only accomplishments. I have been playing sports since I was fucking 5 years old.

Perkman, what I am trying to get across to you is that you feel this almighty urge to try and "better" yourself, and I know your type. You will never cease to strive until you finally die, and you will never have time to stop and enjoy life like I do. You genuinely believe that by being "better" (or so you think) than the people around you will make you happy?
________________________________________
Umm... I don't know. Where I grew up Ltap worth is based upon what you accomplish. In my family and my friends our mindset is that it is never enough. I don't know if I will ever be a content person. But I don't find my worth in material things. I feel that if you quit striving you give up on your life. If you don't strive for things that are better than what is the point? Understand? It's like the "myth of Sisyphus" he is forced to move the rock for endless hours for no reason. But even though he knows his fate he will continue to move it on.
I don't think I will ever be content. I have done a lot but it seems it will never be enough. It sucks but I like that about myself. I have friends who are just content to barely scrape buy smoke weed and work a 9-5 and that is it. They are happy with those things. I have always wanted more with my life. I want an adult life where I'm still achieving things. I want a life where I have a reason to wake up in the morning. I want a profession and a life of importance Ltap. I can't just sit there and not create or else contribute. I will never be content I guess.
Probably why I change friends and girlfriends so much. It's a game of musical chairs. I don't know if I will ever be happy with my life. I try but my mother and father instilled a "Champion" mindset in me and all my family has it. Even my cousins. We will always keep striving. It sucks but I'm glad I am this way.
I will smile at my death bed because I will know that my ambition far outweighed my talent and I have accomplished a lot.

Then one day they wake up and there 24-27 wondering why that guy has a BMW and why they are broke and unhappy.

There is your fundamental difference. I'm broke but I'm perfectly content.

Method I'm begining to really like you. I don't have friends on the INTRAWEBS!!!! haha. Yeah man.
I had to break a couple omellates in my life. I have had friends I was so close to that I had to literally just had to "cutoff" there negativity was too much for me. They didn't want the best for me they just wanted us all to go down together.
I had a friend in highschool that whenever we were together he would point at a "bum" or else a old security guard or something of that nature and say to me. "Perkman, that's going to be me and you some day. huh?" I would get really pissed and tell him that I was going to college. I kept telling him that there was more than our little fucking town. But he didn't really listen. Last I heard he was really into Coke and freebaseing but I haven't seen him in about 3 years.
Funny the biggest fucked up kids in the world are the "rich kids". This kid's dad used to just show up and buy this little fuck "jordans" or "nikes" and all that shit out of nowhere. I had a big family so my mom did get me a lot of "nice" shit but not on this kids caliber. He didnt' graduate now and last I heard he was living the dream of trying to be a wannabe drug dealer. Whatever. To each his own I guess. But that shit wasn't for me.
I like being the guy with the college T on, backwards hat, brotherhood with my boys, and going to functions with people moving up in society. Why shouldn't I like that? like I said I am not being broke for anybody.

So true method. But I really don't get it at all. I'm an idiot for those type of sayings.
But here is one I learned.
The grasshopper and the ant. The grasshopper played all winter while the ant was busy storing food for winter. The grass hopper says to the ant.
Grasshopper: Ant, why do you work all day? You should have fun. Work is for fools.
Ant: You say that now but winter will come soon. I have to store food. Its hard work but it will be worth it.
Grasshopper: Whatever.
Then winter came and the ant had a shelter and a fine array of food to eat. The grasshopper died in winter.
I'm just glad that this time around I'm the fucking ant. Grasshoppers are the fools in highschool who are all punk rock, or gangsta, or drug dealers who say fuck it all day long. Then one day they wake up and there 24-27 wondering why that guy has a BMW and why they are broke and unhappy.

The question is, what's the point? What's the motivation? Sure you get fame, sure you get money, sure you get approval, but why do you actually need to do it?
Well Ltap I'm going to say some personal shit on this question so thank god for the anonymity of the internet. Yes I was raised in a very conservative family no super Christian I guess you could say.
The motivation is the fact that I feel being held to a standard isn't a bad thing. That is what makes someone excel and succeed. I used to live the life of a hippie, bohemian etc... Fuck the system type person and there was no worth given to me within the society I lived in. It was more of a type of 'apathy'. When you grow up in a small town with the same kids and families worth is respect is earned three ways as a male. Either you're smart, or else you get with a lot of girls or else you're an athlete. That is it. The arts are not too respected or loved. The motivation in my life is for my dad. He came from a wealthy family in the fact that my grandfather was rich. My dad received nothing. He married my mom who wasn't approved and also he didn't study what my grand dad thought was appropriate so he was on his own. My cousins all go to Stanford, Colombia etc... Schools of that stature because there families are some what wealthy. My side was seen as the poorer side even though we weren't really poor.
The fame and the approval for me Ltap is the fact that I'm doing something that no one in my town or school has done. Only the elite of my school or town would go to UCLA or CAL only those that were groomed since about 8th grade with the 4.0gpa and the bullshit PTA and there families putting a lot of money, time, and effort into the high school would get a shot at that caliber of a school. Its all bullshit. I have seen kids start on sports teams because there parents donated this, or that, or else contributed this. I went to one of those type of rich schools. I did something none of them could do. I think that is a bigger fuck you to the system that I was born into than me saying "screw it" and saying fuck off to school and the finer things. Why don't I deserve the finer things? I may hate the system that I was born into but I sure as fuck am going to use it. "I won't be poor for anybody". Yes my high school in some ways fucked me over. Yes my town some ways hindered me. But that's all irrelevant. I want to make good money and I want respect. The only way to get respect in my little socio economic status is through school and sports. Even though I might hate the way they do things it is a bigger "Fuck you" to them to achieve something that they themselves could never achieve than it is to say " quit" and not do it.
I'm rubbing it in there snoody little rich faces. That is the greatest part for me. Even after all the things they did to try and fuck me over. I'm rising like a phoenix. There best school back home and the best college that all the kids from my area go to is maybe in the top 60 colleges in the U.S. I have surpassed them. I also know that it will get back to my town. Fucking everything does. They will be like "damn". I can't wait for it.
Yes Ltap I could just say it doesn't matter and live my own life. But I will be damned if assholes will think they are better than me, or my family or my mother in any way. I doing this whole college thing am showing my dad's side and also my town that my mom was the shit and raised us well. Also it validates my dad that out of all his kids all 4 have gone to "big" time schools and 2 are Doctors, one played in the pro's and one is about to become either a Doctor or a lawyer. So that is why it is important to me. Look at your own life Ltap and answer your own question back to me.
There is no progress without struggle. Also nothing worth having is easy.

Several crazy things wrong with this.
"I was a smart kid. I really was. I could read at the age of 4 years old."
4 years old is nothing, not even really above average. It's only retarded kids who learn to read in school. I can't remember a time when I could not read, and I can remember as far back as at least age 2.
"I lived the life of a rebel. I messed around, drank, partied, and fucked girls."
That is not the life of a rebel. That's what the upperclass of high school do, and what the lower classes of high school wished they could do. Anything but being a rebel, really.
"They didn't judge me but they didn't help me excel either"
It depends on your definition of excellence.
Here is my evaluation of you:
You were brought up in a big family (i.e.: parents are fundy Christians who hate birth control) that was rich and lived in a medium-sized town that you think of as small. You did shit and had a nice life, then pressure from all your rich, white, Christian relatives made you feel like a failure. Now you are elated that you are living up to their expectations, but it all means shit.
The question is, what's the point? What's the motivation? Sure you get fame, sure you get money, sure you get approval, but why do you actually need to do it?

I honestly can't relate with what you've experienced - I'm a morbidly obese virgin that barely sees the light of day, unfortunately, which is why I try so hard to be popular on an anonymous website, amongst my fellow trolls.
I took online classes in business administration, and I just got promoted to floor manager at Best Buy (was part of the Geek Squad before). It's pretty sweet, actually, because I get to sit in the back office now more behind a one way mirror, so that I can see people, but they can't see me. It's like the internet, only I get paid for it!

Not really method. I just understand uber to a "T". I'm hated because I represent a culture that is not popular here. I'm the "Jock, Frat, rich guy type" that they have always been jealous of since high school.
It doesn't matter what I write. They will automatically feel it has no merit because of the type of person they think I am. I'm a boastful cunt sometimes. But this is the INTRAWEBS!! I am not like this at all in real life. At fucking all. I think you would love to have a beer with a guy like me. I seriously think you would. I'm a cool guy, smoke a bit of bud, drink like a horse and also hang out with my buddies and I actually hang out with girls.
I had the sickest party house at our school for the last 2 years. Everything I write here isn't fiction. The stories that are fiction are fiction. But the ones that you can see that seem "non fiction". The thing is that they really are non fiction.
I just write what I have been through. A lot of these losers don't understand that you can still be smart, go on the computer, fuck girls, party, plays sports, and also be smart. I'm an Honors kid for fuck's sake. Me? Oh well. I really don't care. I'm going to UCLA or CAL so I could really care less if the believes me or not. Because I will be there in 2-3 months. Top 25 school in the world. Hah! I'm a balla'. But humble as well.
Where did you go to school Method? Let me know what you studied too. It would behoove you to do so.
I can't believe they didn't get the Douglas Copeland references. Am I dealing with idiots out here or what?
