Little bro,Â
How goes it in your brave new world of independence and free thought? You have delved into your beautiful, ugly, wealthy, poor, loving, and lonely chasm of life. Like many before you, there awaits an opportunity to realize who you truly are and what you have to offer to the world. My best piece of advice to you, DO NOT SQUANDER THIS TIME! I donât mean to preach to you or sound like the rest of âadultsâ that arbitrarily give you âadviceâ on living. I just want to impart shared knowledge that I was privy to while living these 28 glorious years of life.Â
I didn't get a chance to speak with you at the cookout; 1) because the environment didn't really allow for it and 2) I just didn't feel like it (sorry cuz). I noticed that you remind me of myself some, particularly whenever I graduated high school and college. I never really saw myself in our small town but always envisioned myself in some realm of higher learning being surrounded by free thinkers and eclectic people that make up the oddities of life. In high school, I was probably the only football player who would read books during weightlifting or peruse encyclopedias (the internet in your instance) in my free time. I have always loved to âknowâ and couldn't stand it when I didn't. The hunger for that knowledge made me see the world and people in a different and sometimes sarcastic and pessimistic light. Be mindful of these occurrences and approach people with an open mind. You never know what lies beneath their thoughts and character. Some of the most intellectual people can be the most ruthless and cold hearted and some of the simplest minded are able to make you feel so extremely loved that all pressures of the world seem to exacerbate. You will learn quickly that you are not as smart as you think you are and you are not as cool as you appear to be. Everyone knows this, they just front like they donât. Remember, âcoolâ is relative. You make your own cool in any situation youâre in. Nothing is ever so serious to cause you to worry or lose your cool. The cyclical nature of life will always allow for another chance at almost any situation you encounter. So, always remember to take life easy (do well in school though). Nothing is ever that serious.Â
1. Take no pleasure in the company of fools! In college, this is a staunch piece of advice. When the time comes, this thought will be with you and you will realize that their company will need to be left alone. To me, fools are people who see no consequence of action. Fools can be in the classroom, your boy living down the hall, or some chic you met at some party. Your boy may be a fool if he says, âKev, dude, lets run this train on this chic!â A light should immediately pop into your head. First, because the shit is nasty (though I almost did it a few times) and two because you donât need your name attached to actions like that. In college, you donât want to be âthat guyâ. For example, I have a boy who got drunk in law school and started grabbing random girlâs asses at a party and started sweating profusely which resulted in him wiping his face every three seconds with the bottom of his shirt. Consequently, he fell out in the party and was forever known as Fall Out Boy, my personal favorite and one that I coined, The Sweaty Wipe, and numerous others that were bad. So in summation, donât do shit like that.Â
2. In the matter of women and girls, try as often as you can to ONLY WIFE GIRLS WITH WHO HAVE RESPECT FOR THE NATURAL DYNAMIC OF THE ROLES OF MEN AND WOMEN IN RELATIONSHIPS! You will find in your life that there is a mixture of confusion and self doubt that you will have to contend with if you are in a relationship with a female who grew up without a strong connection to an older, loving male. All of my serious girlfriends had great relationships with their fathers and all of the numerous girls I just âdatedâ seemed to always be in search of something because of the lost love of a dad. You may have better luck and if you do, let me know how that works out. Also, only date women who have âsomething to loseâ. To date a woman, or even have a friend, with nothing to lose will mean sure pitfall for you. This is because they will not see the consequence of their actions because they simply donât care. This will lead to girls âshowing outâ on you, which translates into them acting a damn fool in public. Avoid these girls. If she is fine, a weekly pass may be given to enjoy her company (Man Law, 2007 Edition pg. 3, paragraph 4, line 6). Do know, she is still subject to act outside of her demeanor that she has portrayed to you. Also, always use protection and never trust yourself in the company of fine women and alcohol. These two mixtures are like gun powder and matches. Alcohol, or liquid courage, will put the S on your chest to conquer the best, and when you get the chance you have to make sure you are prepared. Remember to âpour your own poisonâ if you drink. White boys are notorious for mixing and concocting âdeath drinksâ to parlay on unsuspecting homeboys. KNOW WHAT YOUâRE DRINKING!
I hope my ramblings have given you a few points of advice. Shoot me an email if you ever have a question or want to discuss some abstract theory you have run across. I love wrapping my mind around things.Â
Peace, Love, and Nappiness
