Lose Lose Situations

All of us have had points in our life where we come to a fork in the road. Sometimes these two paths are completely different and at other times they seem very identical. Then...there are these forks. These situations that we're put in where we're given different choices, yet either one leads to the same result...I like to call these the "Lose Lose Situations" where no matter what, you'll almost always come out on the bottom. Lets just jump into the list rite now...

NUMBER 5: WORKING OUT

How can working out be a lose lose situation? Well, it depends on how you view it...you spend countless hours lifting weights, running, dieting, and torturing yourself to get into shape. Sweat, soreness, and sometimes blood seem to be one of the main results we achieve for all our hard work. Yet, working out seems to be a very unforgiving love. After months of working out we seldom do get the results that we're hoping to achieve, mainly due to high expectations. Often times this results in us having a warped self image."I'm not buff enough" or "I'm not as skinny as I want to be" seem to become normal phrases uttered by those attempting to get "in shape". Being in shape makes me more desirable to men/women! True, but what happens when after you have got in shape, you decide to take some time to relax and enjoy life? Well, you end up losing definition and strength and must build it back up again. This causes you to be seen as someone who doesn't take care of themselves, or someone who doesn't care enough about their significant other to try. So unless you continue to exercise and eat right for the rest of your life, you're probably just gonna go back to being an out of shape blob...
this man is TRULY living

NUMBER 4: UPGRADING

Everyday someone out there is working on making something better. We're never content with what we have and we're always trying to make things faster (internet), smaller (phones, tvs), and bigger(heh yeah i'm childish). Did you know that since the iPod first released (2001) there have been almost a billion different versions released? *citation needed* Theres been the various generations of the iPod classic, the iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod touch, and 4 different versions of the iPhone. Each version supposedly makes things faster and more convenient, yet adds more and more problems. I just recently paid over 300$ for my iPhone 3gs and I GUARANTEE that within a year, the 4g is gonna come out and make my 3gs feel obsolete. So, in order to not feel inferior, I must of course UPGRADE. I NEED to get the top of the line everything because..well..i'm American. Why else would I (as well as millions of Americans out there) be forced to shell out countless amounts of cash to buy something which is essentially the same product I currently own (albeit shiny new wrapping)? You upgrade now, a better version is gonna come out. You don't upgrade, your current model isn't good enough. Upgrading sucks...period...dot dot dot...

NUMBER 3: FIGHTING WITH ELDERS (AND CHILDREN)

I'm sure we've all seen that video with the crazy beard guy beating up the drunk guy on the transit bus but in case you haven't, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNkcGWjzmz0 there you go. Not all old people can throw down like this guy, but there are a few that you need to be careful for. Speaking of which, why on earth would you wanna fight an old person? There are some old people who definitely run their mouth or outstep their boundaries, but they're OLD! Thats just how they are! Say you fight an old person and beat them up, then what? You just beat up someones grandpa who probably has bones more brittle then wafer thins. You proud of yourself? Or worse, they mop the floor with you! Imagine explaining to your friends then Grandpa Joe just beat you up with moves he learned back in '42. Fighting with kids (anyone under 18) is the same thing. They're stupid. PERIOD. Most of them have foul mouths and probably deserve a nice whoopin, but are you really gonna give it to them? They haven't matured yet so give them the benefit of the doubt. Besides, is it really something worth going to jail for? Wait until they're of legal age, then decide if its worth it okay?

NUMBER 2: GETTING DRUNK

Alcohol helps me have a good time! You serious? You can't have a good time without it? I'm pretty sure you've had fun without it many times. Alcohol loosens me up and lets me enjoy myself! How bout you hang out with people that you're comfortable with? As for loosening up, might wanna keep that to yourself. I love alcohol! Your wallet doesn't and neither does your liver. Ok with that out of the way, lets look at alcohol. A lot of us use alcohol as somewhat of a social crutch. We're just not comfortable with it so we decide to shell out loads of cash to pay for the effects of an extended ride on a merry-go-round. Many of us..meh MOST of us are sloppy drunks and when we get to that point, we're not really as great of a person to be around. But everyones merry and having a good time! Yeah thats cuz they're all laughing at how much of an A$$ you're making of yourself. Sometimes guys (and girls) use drinking to either get with a partner, or make their current partner more desireable. Now if you have to cloud your vision before you do something with another person, don't you think that you're gonna eventually regret that decision at a later date? Too many times I've heard of girls complaining about making mistakes at a club or at a party because they were drunk. Well...you kinda just summed up what went wrong with the last 2 words. You..were..drunk. The day after is even worse! You wake up hungover and/or are with someone/something that you swear looked like Halle Berry the night before. Guys...you're not safe either..this could be you..(YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!)

ARGUING WITH WOMEN!

Now I'm probably gonna get a lot of flack for this one but hear me out first.  For those that have girlfriends/wives let me ask you a quick question: how often does your girl change moods? April (my gf) is an AMAZING girl and I love her with all my heart, but MAN sometimes she gets angry at me for God knows what.  I swear that things are okay but then BOOM something happens and I'm stuck wondering "what happened?"  When guys fight with their girlfriends, unfortunately, guys are stuck in a lose lose situation.  Say our girl wins the fight, we just lost and they were right (which I KNOW some of you girls out there just love to rub it in our faces!)  If we do "win" (I say that very loosely) our girl is still upset and at the end of the day it kinda makes us feel miserable.  Not only did we make our girl feel bad, but we end up looking like the bad guy because our girl is upset and its our fault (even though a lot of times its not!)  Then, there are those girls out there who NO MATTER what you do, they'll find something wrong in it.  How many of us have heard you're just saying that, you don't really believe it!? How bout when you actually prove that you're right?  Have you heard yeah you're right AGAIN! You're ALWAYS right! Even when we're right, we're wrong in their eyes.  I could have an argument with a girl about what color the sky was and even though I say its blue, she'll find some way to make me look wrong and have everyone out there believing its actually hot pink.  Whats worse is that a lot of you girls out there KNOW that you can get away with being the victim.  Girls can hit guys all they like, but once a man touches a woman, its wrong.  I don't condone hitting women under any circumstances, but I just wanted to point this out.
well..I might make an exception for THIS one...


Please don't take this list too seriously...this was done just for fun and for those that disagree, well you're entitled to your opinion.  Let me know what you think!  Thanks for reading..
