Helpful tips for life:

Alright people. Here are a few helpful tips in life. They've gotten me through this far, and they're pretty easy to live by, just try to learn them:

Tip # 1 - Stop being a douchebag. Seriously. Before you say or do something douchey, put yourself on the outside of the situation...if someone ELSE was about to do a ridiculous kermit the frog impression, or bust out the "I'm not your buddy, guy...i'm not your guy, friend" schtick for the millionth time, would you roll YOUR eyes and say "omg what a douche"?...if so, then keep your mouth shut.

Tip # 2 - If you're not classy, don't try to be. The "i'm going to act like i am a class act" thing is very transparent.

Tip # 3 - If you ARE classy, don't be a douchebag about it. It's a lot more impressive for people to notice your class on their own, rather than you forcing it down their throats. Example: If you have a knowledge of wine, and brought the perfect wine for a dinner party, don't ensure the fact that everyone knows it by telling them all night long.

Tip # 4 - IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. Seriously. Nothing is more annoying, see through or angering than talking with someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. It goes one of 2 ways. The person either has a conversation with you and you do most of the talking, and they just nod their heads and mimic what you're saying or whatever they picked up on tv, OR you have a debate with this person as they mercilessly defend something they have NO clue about. The solution to this? if you don't know anything or much of anything about the topic at hand, admit it. I know your arrogance and overwhelming ego will think this is a sign of weakness, but fight it, since it's actually a sign of strength. You're admitting; "I don't know too much about this, so what's going on with it?"...it's common knowledge that not everyone knows eeverything about the same things, so not only are you admitting your lack of knowledge in a certain area, you're opening yourself up to an actual *GASP!* discussion...where *Gasp!* you're not the centre of attention!! And guess what...no one thinks your a giant douchebag for comparing Lacoste to The Gap without having ANY fucking idea what you're talking about.

Tip #5 - Dress for your body type. It doesn't matter what your style is, there are ways to fit your body type without looking like a complete idiot. If you have a very fat and non shaped ass, and big thighs, maybe skinny jeans aren't for you. If you have a gut and a half, maybe wear a shirt or a jacket that covers or hides it in some way. Just because something is in style doesn't mean you HAVE to wear it. If Uggs don't look good on you, don't wear them! It's pretty fucking simple. Even if you're wearing fashionable and trendy clothes, if they look like shit, no one will notice.

Tip # 6 - if you INSIST on wearing something that doesn't look good on you, then FUCKING OWN IT. I don't mean own it like it's yours, i mean OWN it, like make the clothes work for YOU. Hold your head up and fucking make that style yours, and you don't care what people think about it. The clothes won't do it themselves. You have create your look and then BE your look.

Tip # 7 - Subway won't fix your weight problems.

Tip # 8 - If you go to starbucks because you want to be a hipster and want people to see you with the cup, at least learn the menu, the language and the lingo. Otherwise you just look like a fucking idiot.

Tip # 9 - Not everyone likes the same shit as you. Not everyone is interested in the same shit as you. So don't make them feel like a fucking idiot if they don't. You're a big sports person? Awesome. The person your're talking to isn't? Who gives a shit. Saying "You DON'T watch sports!?" is a ridiculous thing to say. It's like if i were to ask a sports nut; "You DON'T like Robert Frost!?". Newsflash! There are 6.5 Billion people in this world. They didn't all watch the leafs game last night. Find something else to talk about.
