My friend goes to a charity event which is something only rich people are going to go to anyway. He records Chris Brown shit talking a valet dude and proceeds to call TMZ and sells the video for $1,000. This kid already spends the amount of money in one month that I spend in probably 6 months and he has the opportunity to just get more money. I don't like society.

I think it's too much responsibility to give high school kids. Their future is far too important to be placed in their hands when they're 14-18. Although hard work and paying attention in school is a behavior taught as a kid, if someone is unfortunate as to not have parents whom motivate them towards performing well, they won't know better and fix their mistake in high school. The age is too young to hand such big responsibility. If someone performs poorly in high school, really, their whole future is set to go downhill. There's no way that they can get into a good college and attain a well-paying, respectable job. At this point they have to make the choice between poorly-paying yet legal and partially respectable, or well-paying yet illegal and unrespectable. The cycle will either continue or break here. When they have children, they will either definitely motivate them to do well or not motivate them because it wasn't done to them.

Time doesn't wait for anybody, my parents say, especially when I tell them how I spent x amount of hours doing nothing productive. I appreciate being productive. But this past week I spent a long time playing video games. (29 hours to be exact) I could've picked up a new sport in that much time, made $290 at minimum wage, mastered a subject, and much more. Before that I was playing another game (although less and more of web browsing), and before that another. I feel that I should start from the base and work upwards and REMOVE the unnecessary things. Bases would be your most loved hobbies, which for me would be volleyball, biking, and more that I'll pick up. So im announcing to everyone that I will spend NO MORE than ONE hour of (tracked) time on the computer. 2 on weekends.
