gentlemen whats goign on...what are you proud of...

if i came to your door and asked you.....quick tell me
eveythign great in your life...

you would probably be like most men....um uhhh ummm
stammering and stuttering aroound GRASPING for some sliver of
pride....

well i have a job, family, gf,,,,um i bought a new car...

but are we seriously pleased with these trophies...or do we feel obligated
to thrust them as our highest accomplishments

merely because thats the narrative projected as the status quo

hell,,its what normal people do and its how its been down forever
who am i to rock the boat....right

but we see this flood of bullshit continually crashing its degenerate waves into our boat

and so were seeing a rise in men beginning to exercise THEIR right to THINK for themselves

i don't want to be proud of following someone else....like how is my trophy for mediocrity
something to hold in esteem

like what decent man runs around with a 7th place trophy in his hand SCREAMING
look at me im the greatest man alive...

but in essence that's what is spreading throughout the present age....

there's this fragmented sense of what pride actually means

everyones limping around on broken ideals of what strength, pride and accomplishment truly represent....

Nietzsche said i teach NO to all that makes me weak..that exhausts....i teach YES to all that strengthens
that stores up strength,,,that PRIDE....

and i love this...because it makes me ask myself

am i proud of weak things that will leave me exhausted and ultimately defeated

or do i say YES to all that strengthens me and leaves me a better man

we have to ask ourselves are we proud of being caught in the rat race of life, simply
keeping pace with the asshoel to the left of us

or are we proud of separating ourselves from the weak and hanging strength on the highest
rung of the ladder we daily ascend....

i want to climb out of this stinking pile of shit that everybody else calls life

i want to be a man that builds my own life...hell to discover myself along the way\
and not just be another cog in someone else's machine...

i want to be filled with such an immense pride in something that can never be torn down

something that cant be duplicated

i want to leave my fucking finger print ON MY life...

you see it and you know that yep, that was his.....he owned his life

you know that feeling of accomplishment when you've attained something you set out to fulfill

its fuckign the greatest feeling ever....it brings a self possessed satisfaction
.....that cannot be rivaled

when you knock on my door and ask me to tell you what im proud of...
i want you to have to pull up a rocking chair and a glass of water

because mannn were gonna be here a while

I want my answers to be big,precise and beautiful....

im proud to be a man dammit,,,,and im a good one

let that be my motivation, let that be the beginning of my pride..

to be a man that pursues separating himself from the status quo

that is definitely something to take pride in

love and respect gentlemen
