Goals are Cliché

Ever notice how people’s goals are generally pretty common, or they are at the minimum very unoriginal? For example: eating cheese and wine in France and having tea and crumpets in England really aren’t really orignal ideas, infact MILLIONS of people do it every day!!!! these alleged 'goals' are merely ‘pictures in-front of monuments’.

They brag that hey I was in this country! LOOK AT ME!!!

On my first date with my ex exwhose name went by the ring of corrine I asked her to tell me something she hated, and with very little hesitation she said she hated people who travel and take pictures of themselves in front of major monuments: ie Mount Rushmore.

This is because all that they are doing is advertising that “Hey I’ve been to this place” I’m a well cultured, well traveled individual and I saw this place with my own eyes and not on some postcard!

And while to most of you, it really doesn’t sound all that criminal- my point is that everyone does it.

Everyone listens or listened to Blink 182, everyone breathes air, everyone hates their ex girlfriends, and everyone who has goals have the same goals or nearly so of everyone else. Drink Guinness in Ireland on St Patrick’s Day! Drink Beer at Octoberfest in Germany etc….

On the entrance to Kanaskis there is a giant sign that says “Kanaskis Country”, and there is always people standing in front of the sign taking pictures.

I sometimes fantasize losing control of my car and plowing into them.

I mean the sign isn’t even original! It doesn’t say something witty, or fun like “New York is Big, but Biggar is Biggar” it’s not beautiful, and there is no scenic screenshot behind it! Why the pictures?

The pictures say “hey I was at the legendary kanaskis and I saw a deer!” and had I driven to Saskatchewan I woulda been able to take one home with me… on the grill of my dodge ram.

Yay!

People suck which is why i've created my very own list of very rarely increasing goals that reflect my values


My goals are as follows:

Being Original

If I went to France I’d eat Pizza and drink sake, and I’d take pictures of the ground, not many sober people do that on purpose, but I’ll do it because I’m original.. and not cliché like the rest of you douchebags.

  • i wonder if anyone will get the irony of my post. where my efforts to be orginal shelters me from experiencing anything.

  • it doesn't shelter you from experiencing anything

    you just experience different things, which others will regard as nothing because its not what they experience

    like how people don't get how i don't get drunk or smoke weed

    shit's deep son, shit's deep. *two pounds and a point*

  • Its actually "New York is big but this is Biggar" dumbass. Yea, I don't try to be anything, in regards to be original. Instead I float around and try not to talk to people who I don't like for no reason other than they look like they would be assholes. Not talking to douchebags is my life goal.

  • Well you know what. I thought the Eiffel tower was cliche as well i didn't even want to go. But as soon as i went i realized that i don't give a shit if 5 million people go there every year. It was my experience and it was amazing i have 20 pictures of me in front of that tower, and i cherish them all. Pictures (for people that actually go out and do real stuff) are a way to remember the vibe and the people its not about that stupid monument. The monument is just an emblem to help you remember. So i'm glad she's your ex girlfriend cause she sounds really stupid, really fucking close minded, and anyone that believes that stupid shit is a jaded cynical bastard whom hasn't done much with their jaded crapy lives.

    so she should go fuck herself
    Yours forever, Dave
