So there was a guy on the sub I used to be on.... he sucked. We had a nickname for him, which was "Mask". We were not referring to the Jim Carrey movie, it was the movie starring Cher and Sam Elliot about the boy who had elephantitis of the face. His name was Rocky... Rocky Dennis. In the movie, Rocky was a really nice person and a lot of people liked him, although most couldn't eat when they looked at his face. He fell in love with a blind chick who said he was beautiful and then he died, because I guess his face got too big or something. All in all, not a bad movie, Cher doesn't sing or wear ass-less chaps, bonus.
The Rocky Dennis that I know from my sub, was not a really nice person, but most couldn'tt eat when they looked at his face. He was not related to Cher or Sam Elliot, and he didn't die..... not a bonus. He loved ordering people around, making stupid jokes, rubbing off the CO, etc... Everyone around him hated him and just wished someone who mattered saw all the underhanded shitty things he did to get ahead of everyone. When people on a submarine are so miserable, usually they try to bring everyone down with them. We call it the "Conservation of Happiness." When the hatch shuts, there is only so much happiness on board. To get happier, you take it away from other people, vice versa. Why does that sound like a good place to be? I have no idea, ask Rocky.
This brings me around to the point off all this... if you aren't happy with a part of your life, do something about it. I have heard too many people that I work with say, "Well, this job sucks, but what else am I going to do?" Lets think about this for a second.... I'm pretty sure the other 299 million Americans are doing exactly something else right this second. Save money, go back to school, eat Ramen, start a new career, build a treehouse and live in the woods. I'm pretty sure the guy I saw who lives in his van and surfs all day pretty much loves the shit out of his life.
Anyway, I am just ranting and raving because I got an email today from an angry friend of mine who is on the submarine with Rocky Dennis, god help him. If someone pisses you off, take Dane Cook's advice figuratively or literally... shit on their coats. Rocky Dennis, someday, someone, maybe me, maybe the Dahli Lama, will shit on your coat. Better buy some Scotch Guard beeatch!
