Diary of Goddess: Life Lessons Learned

I started this blog in HS, when I was this materialistic, but saying I wasn't materialistic first to start a blog and thought my life was so fab since all I did was school, shop, & friends. Fast forward 4 years later, I became this college student that realized that college life wasn't like the movies and MY struggle began...Some 10 years from HS and here I am, living my dream of going to law school, bringing a whole new meaning to MY struggle…

No. 155B continued. Ranting about freaks who try to impress, but hurt themselves starts now...

So, i'm thinking about the whole girl with the rolex and impressing people and it fucking sucks. Seriously, I don't know why, well I do know why it gets under my skin. The reason is that when I wear the things I wear, I think the style and I purely wear it for that. I don't impress people, because no one can deny me anything, I buy things because of quality and what I like, not by customer service. Of course it's definitely a plus, but I don't do things to impress people to get something because I believe by merit alone, it will get my as far as can happen and I rather do it by merit, then by false pretenses of what i'm wearing and what i'm doing. I just can't take it anymore, the people who always try to "one up me" or all those people who think they're better then me to make themselves feel better. It doesn't get under my skin by their impressions, but it's the fact that all they care about id trying to "one up me." Such as making themselves seem more powerful will really get you so much farther in life. Just like how people need to get rims on their car. While I was driving, I realized that no one knows who you are, you can be in your car totally serene and calm and no one gives a damn, while maybe about your car, but seriously, for me, the car driving is really serene and calming. Knowing that people are heading to all these places and don't give a damn about you or anything to do with you. They just need to pick up their kids or whatever, no connotations, no appearances, just going, unless you're cruising the strip, but that's a whole different ideal. Seriously, it's so calming, I think it's the perfect world for me in the car. I don't need to worry about anything, besides anyone rearending me, but normal things just go away, like homework, or my friend thinking she's all that because she has an SUV, it just doesn't matter. Outside of school, you can be anyone you want to be and no one there is to stop you, while in school, it's such a high pressure area. I don't know what, but it is. That's why I say that anyone can own a benz, a rolex, anything that makes you oh so top of the world, but the fact that while owning these things, it's not about the image you put out, it's about liking the product, doing it for you, not for that girlfriend or that friend that hates you. It's a plus knowing that you'll be walking down the street and some girl will be like that's a real Louis Vutton, but it's not all you have to live for. Seriously?!? That's what I figured out, because everyone thinks the supreme is the benz and the rolex. Why wouldn't anyone think differently, while listening to the radio, every song from rappers are making some phrase about their "benz," but the fact is that these people are nouveau riche. There's more then just a benz rolex, higher brands are way in demand, what i'm at is just the cusp of "high end brands." I think the reason why I talk about it so much about being a brand whore, is the fact that people confront me on it all the time. It just bugs me because I wear because I like it, not to impress someone. I buy it because of the quality, if someone asked me if I wanted a pimped up ML320 or my benz i'm driving now. I'd pick mine. Reasons: I don't need to drive fast, the old lady car always assumes some old lady is driving it, therefore you always get the right of while, but have to watch out for hoodlums; and it's quality, I know for a fact that the car has susbtained 23 years, while who knows how much the ML made in Michigan can substain. Seriously, why change it if it's not broken, what so I can roll down my window, blast the rappers music so I can't hear anything and think i'm chill sitting by the stoplight next to some old lady in a chrysler and some guy in a jetta. Give me a break! Also, reading these ljs where all they talk about is "my car" "my hair" my shit, give me a fucking break. That's what really irks me, is that knowing there are people out there that think about all the materialistic things out there and nothing else. At least I read books and try to do different things. My mom knows this women where she goes to a mall every day and if she sees something, she'll buy it. Talk about taking up hobbies and things to enjoy? Seriously, I go to parks, I go to museums, I go shopping, but I don't make materialism my world. I love to buy things, I admit it, it's a sport to me, but it doesn't run my life, not like heroin. Also, for all of those people who "dress up" to go to stores, I wouldn't recommend it. Why would you, so you can show that 30 year old sales clerk you have money so she'll drool over you. My satisifaction is that they'll always remain a sales clerk, so it's their own ignorance that got them there. Also, it's not like they could not sell you something, and if they tried to do that, just send the CEO some letter, then i'm pretty sure you would have gotten that item for free. Service might not be great, but if you're buying the product, you're not buying the lady that comes with it. And, any sales clerk who is smart enough to be non judgemental or see that you have cash, is a smart lady, and those are the people who will make it, the others will perish and die. Ranting is now over.
