Self Motivation, Inspiration, Encouragement...that means to yourself dickwads!

First off, let me just note although this has nothing to do with this post, it was day two of cat yak in the morning...

So back to my original thought...

SELF Motivation, Encouragement, Inspiration, etc...that means to yourself. I don't understand why people feel the need to share little tid bits of their agonizing occurrences, deep decision making, moral superiority, and so on with complete strangers. Just what exactly am I referring to...

1. WWJD (What would Jesus do?): I'm assuming people need this printed on every thing they own including their car because they have trouble making the morally correct choice when confronted with difficult situations. I suppose it's even o.k to ask yourself in your own head, "What would Jesus do?" Can you keep it to yourself though? Do you see people with "What would Buddha do?" t-shirts? If I wanted to know what Jesus would do, I would ask him in my own head. I'm pretty smart and moral though, so I think I can get through what I would do if I saw a mugging without depending on Jesus. So stop using a damn crutch, give Jesus a coffee break, and leave him off all of your t-shirts, bumper stickers, hair ties, and bracelets. It only shows how stupid and co-dependent you are. You whinny piece of shit.

2. Live Strong: This is for Lance and Lance only. He must have been repeating it to himself as he lost one of his boys, recovered and began the long journey towards training, and finally when he won the Tour de France again. Lance, good for you. Now, unless your a five time winner of the Tour de France who survived cancer I really don't think you need to don a fucking "Live Strong" bracelet. First off, what is the purpose of advertising that you or someone you know has survived cancer. Do you want to evoke a sense of pity so you can get an extra thirty-five cents off your movie rental? Do you want to evoke feelings of envy..., "Hey Suzy, come an look at this woman in the line at the deli, she survived cancer. Oh, I want cancer so bad." I mean what is the purpose. When I have asked people they say, "I've never had cancer, but I'm supporting someone I know who has cancer." That is complete and utter bullshit. If I had survived cancer I certainly wouldn't want some fuck who never had so much as the flu wearing a damn bracelet to "support" me. I also would be focused on healing and moving forward with my life. Now before you go thinking I'm a fucking bitch, both my mom(3 times) and my grandmother have both had cancer. My grandmother doesn't even have any salivary glands left, now that's survival. What would they think is support? Helping them with their grocery shopping, taking them to the hospital for chemo when they were too weak, trying to help them deal with the emotional aspect of cancer,....definitely not wearing a fucking rubber bracelet. I think I could go on and on about this particular subject...especially touching on what complete unfit, fat fucks, who have never so much as straddled a bicycle think they are doing by supporting Lance....AGH!!!!!

3. Motivational Sayings: "There's no I in team." Do you really need a poster in your cubicle reminding you of this? Who gives a fuck? Do you think the greedy corporate company thinks there's no I in team? Of course not, otherwise you would all be making a helluva lot more. They are in business for profit. It's a select amount of I's that reap the benefits of your hard working team. Get it? See, now I'm so pissed off I can't even think of the other motivational sayings...

So whether you think it is one thing, but the moment you advertise it...you're glutton for punishment. SELF motivation people...that's the key. I don't need any of your motivation or derision for not supporting you in your motivation. So, keep it to yourself for fuck's sake, I don't give a flying shit.
