Probably because I am. I know it. But when you've dealt with some of the stuff I have and still come out of it semi-successful (at this age anyway), you kinda get smug about it.

I've known for a while that I'm polarizing. You either love me or hate me. Very few people think I'm just "alright". I'm your best friend or enemy. I'm ok with that.


Nah it wasn't that.

Lots of people have gone thru lots of things, but not everyone thinks it entitles them to be a self-aggrandizing jerk. I could share stories about what I've been thru, but that's not what I'm about. I could tell you how strong I am for what I've gone thru, but I also realize other people have gone thru stuff too. And sure, I recall some of your stories, and it's pretty extreme, but if you set life up as a scoreboard, either what you have or the 'fouls' accumulated against you, you're setting yourself up for sadness.

If life were a scoreboard I'd win. Final score: Me-awesome, Everyone Else-Lame.
 
I'm not laaaammmmeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the problem is I'm so awesome that people that aren't lame tend to seem lame because they're compared to me. It's like, if a chick is a 7, I'd totally go for that. But when that 7 is standing next to a perfect 10, she suddenly looks like a 3.

Then let there be sadness. I've basically come to the conclusion that I'm not gonna live past 60 (Seriously, my doctor even said). So if the first 20 years or third of my life was the worst third of my life. Then it can only go up.

But you're damn right life is a scoreboard. Against yourself and your goals. Right now the refs are ******* me up. But I'll win. If I don't get all the basic goals that I have then I did fail. Some people don't see life that way but I do.
 
Your doctors kind of a ********* if he's calling your death 40 years before it happens.

My dad was told the same thing and he's one of the healthiest men I know and just a couple years away from 60.

Did your father have tumors at age 19 though? I mean I totally agree that he shouldn't have said it but I asked him how it would effect my life (I didn't mean the end of it though).

They told me I would have a better shot if they just straight up removed my colon. I told them no because it hasn't really been tested over 40 years and I don't wanna go into uncharted waters.

Well, you got me there.

I do know someone who's parents, when he was born, were told that he wouldn't live past the age of 10. He did. Doctors changed their minds and said no way he makes it to 20.

He turns 20 later this year and is just as healthy as he's ever been. Doctors have now said no way he makes it to 30.

Don't get me wrong, live life in the moment and to the fullest, but a meteorologist in Iowa can't predict the weather 12 hours from now correctly. A doctor definitely can't predict what will happen in 40 years. They can tell you the odds, but those don't matter.

****, you know odds don't matter. Didn't you make bank with Belmont?
