Who Cares About Getting The Credit?
So, credit yah? Who really cares to get the credit? Take for example, Ms. Bucks, at FUSE on Wednesday lost the chance to get an iPod Nano (They did a sort of Let's Make A Deal type thing where they gave Ms. Bucks $1 and showed 3 boxes and gave her the option to trade the dollar for something under one of the 3 boxes, first time she chose box #3 which had a can of Spam in it. So now she had a can of Spam and Saunders asked if she wanted to trade it for something under the remaining two boxes. She chose box #2 which had a $25 Simon giftcard in it. Now knowing FUSE there could be something totally disgusting under box #1 so, naturally, she kept the giftcard. But then they pulled out the iPod Nano she could've won if she traded the giftcard. But I heard she already had an iPod so this is where the post comes in. What would you do if you got an iPod but already had one.) What if you got the iPod but yet you already had one. Would you sell it on Ebay, give it to someone you love or a close friend that you know doesn't have one but yet might not ever use it, or would you give it to someone who you just know through a friend but you know would use it much more than your close friend? If you gave it to the close friend would you want them to know it was you so they might feel like they "owe" you something back, or they would feel like you're a better friend than another person. Would that make you feel more self-worth or importance than just giving it to them anonymously and them being ecstatic about just being given this gift? What about the Ebay idea though, I mean, you would get money that you might need and you know if they are willing to spend the money on it they would use it. And that would also go back to the friend(s) choice with the question, "What if your friend had the money to buy the iPod, would they use it to buy the iPod or do they have other stuff on mind that might not be of any need in their life?" But what if you know they didn't have the money, would you still give it to them or sell it on Ebay for money? You also have to keep in mind that selling it on Ebay all you would get is money, you wouldn't get any special feeling that you made somebody ecstatic by giving them a gift they thought they would never obtain and even if you did tell the friend, you would get no pride or higher ranking with the buyer. So that leads to the question, what do you want more in life pride for yourself or happiness for others.

Who's Number One?
Why do we look out for ourselves before other people? Do we really feel that much self-worth that we deserve something and somebody else doesn't? What makes one person better than another? Is it the clothes they wear, the people they hang out with, the car they drive, or how rich their parents are? Does any of those things define a person? No, but why are those the things most of us tend to look at first when we are meeting someone? Do you meet someone and notice their stylish and expensive clothes or do you notice how outgoing their personality is?
I just don't think it should happen like that anymore. Instead of looking out for yourself and making sure you're fantastic (great + great), just give one of your greats to other people. See how it works out.

Opportunity vs. Risk
Is it wrong to wait for something you want? No matter how long you have to wait, as long as you think it's worth it. What if it impacts you in small ways? Makes you pass up other opportunities that could potentially be better. Do you even care though if you're waiting for that one special opportunity that you know, if it pays off, will be better and worth more than all of them combined?
Waiting, just waiting, for that opportunity that you know, if given the chance, you can show the world that when you're thinking this opportunity is bigger than any other, you're thinking completely right.
But with one of the questions earlier, what if you have to pass up other opportunities? You pass them up and the one you're waiting for doens't pay off? Are you considered an idiot or passionate for what you thought. Should you take a risk? Is it worth it?

So I Have A New Blog
So I totally have a new blog and this one, I promise, won't be as boring as the last one. Whenever I'm searching through good ole' World Wide Web and I find something, I think, everybody should find out, know, or discuss then I'll post it on here and I hope to get some kind of discussion out of it. Although i doubt anybody looks at it I will still see what is up. Or this could be for my own personal use :) who knows.
