Why do some people choose to destroy our hopes and dreams?
I recently went on a date with a beautiful young woman. She had a sweet temper, and a bubbly personality. I asked her what she wanted to do with her life, what profession she wanted to go into. She said, "I'm not quite sure."
"If you could do anything, what would it be." I replied
"Promise you won't laugh?"
I promised. I was expecting her to say an actor or singer or something. She says, "I want to be an animal cop."
I stared at her. She only wanted to be an animal cop. "Why would I laugh at that?" I asked.
"Everyone else did, they said there's no such thing."
I immediately wanted to strangle those people. An animal cop is a very legitimate profession. All one would have to do is watch animal planet to figure that out.
Why would they belittle someone's dreams? If you don't know for sure you should shut the fuck up. No one deserves to be told they can't do something, even if it does seem unrealistic.
My father told me I will hate my job. I argued with. I would tell him he was wrong, and he would say, "It's work, no one likes it."
I believed him for almost a year now. No wonder I was so depressed. Nothin to look forward to but an unhappy marriage and 40 years of work. That's how he made it sound.
From the time I can remember people have always sought to shut down my dreams as well. This is America, I build my own future. I truly believed that until I was told otherwise by so many people. Teachers, parents, friends. I let them tear my dreams apart.
I was reborn this weekend. I thought they were just saving me from heartbreak. Now I realize they were just holding me back from succeeding. I would rather fail trying than live the rest of my life pessimistic, angry, and depressed.
I may fail, but at least I'll try.

So did you get lucky? or did she crush your dream of getting laid?
As for animal rights idiots, Animals are not citizens, they have no rights.
Human beings are omnivores, we must eat some meat as there are certian animal protiens we simply CANNOT get from vegetables.
and on a side note let me bash PETA for a second too
did you know that last year (in 2005) PETA euthanized around 3500 animals?
they did it at thier world headquaters.
Fuckin Hypocrites

I've seen that shit on Animal Planet, and honestly, I want to round up all those "animal cops" into a fucking gas chamber and do the "holocaust shuffle" to them.
Fuck I hate animal-rights activists. Fuck off and die you sappy cunts.

However, that chick's dream job is retarded. Be honest enough with yourself that if you didn't want to bump uglys with this broad,you likely would have joined in the laughter.

hmmm.
Good point. Perhaps it isn't so much retarded as boring and pedestrian. We are talking about dreams here... and that one is just plain dull.

Why is her job idea retarded? Granted it's not what I would call a "dream job", but is realistic and it exists. You have to have an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. They give you a badge and a truck, a night stick, and a gun, the whole ball of wax. You can fine and arrest people for abusing animals. They make good money too, like 23.00 an hr. Nothing great, but if your an animal rights actvist I guess it could be fun.
I used to have an agenda to be rich by age 25, and retired by age 34, just to prove to everyone else I could do it.
What I need to do is find 50 companies that will donate 25.00 tax deductable dollars a week to my so called "charity". Then I could just give evryone the finger. Too bad shit doesn't happen like that.

Look Dustin, you seem like a nice kid...
Let me give you a little heads up on life. There ARE bad ideas and stupid dreams. People need to be told this when they have the misfortune of having them. Its one of the many things that family and friends are good for.
However, the person who should have the greatest influence on your life is YOU. Fuck everyone else.
Besides, it's the sign of true genius when people have the internal desire to transcend all the negative advice that people freely dole out and effectively prove every mother fucker who doubted you wrong.
However, that chick's dream job is retarded. Be honest enough with yourself that if you didn't want to bump uglys with this broad,you likely would have joined in the laughter. I can't entirely blame you for that, after all one "gots ta get tha pussy"... but this pathetic "why can't people just be nice" garbage gives me a cramp.
So enjoy your momentary jubilation, life is undoubtedly brewing up a fresh load of shit to dump on your head.
Oh... and a bit of advice that my grandfather gave me: Find a job that you love to do, and you will never have to work again.
Of course its simplistic and in practice entirely untrue... but the sentiment is golden.

weak, light, little content. have you learned yet. what you're doing is not working. try something else before the damage to your head, from banging it against the wall repeatedly, is permanent.

All you fucks that trolled your way over to this post to squeeze out a +2 need to die, after you fell all over yourselves to +2 that shitty blogpost by loki. You people are the cause of shitty sequels. You give once-prolific artists a good rating no matter what kind of steaming pile they manage to churn out, just because you like them. Thank you for the second and third Matrix. Thank you for Stephen Kings' last 12 books. Thank you for Star Wars 1-2-3. Fucking hypocritical fanboys.

You need to buy this: http://www.demotivators.com/bitterness.html
"Never be afraid to share your dreams with the World, because there's nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams."
I would also suggest: http://www.demotivators.com/delusions.html
"There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."

It's true. People settle, and because they have, they try to talk everyone else into doing the same, so that don't have to feel like failures.
There's a quote out there that goes something like "shoot for the stars, and you may at least reach the sky"
Figure out what you want and go for it, failure is still success as compared to not trying.

My parent's never laughed at me for wanting to be a writer. Now I work as a printer and post stuff on here. I was also told by my mother that as an adult, the best days are the ones that don't piss you off completely. She was right. People suck.
