Episode 7: My Way Dude, Seriously Read This.
I really hope that if you guys never visit my blog or my facebook page and you only ever read one post that this is it. I don't care about anything. And my disease is infectious. My crew doesn't seem to care about anything either. If you think about it, what good ever came out of everything negative? I've even made a few missteps on the way, but negative brings negative. And it all started with that "little train that could" shit. Don't believe me? Then listen up. Or at least the paragraphs that interest you.
~Andy
Paragraph 1: You've already got everything you want, life doesn't suck.
Ok, so you hear it from a lot of teenagers, life sucks. Not for me. Because if you think good, then it's all good. Let's say you hate Herndon and want to get out. Sure you could think that you're parents suck, there's nothing to do, HHS is going downhill. But who does that benefit? No one. Guess what? Herndon is a kickass place to live compared to a major amount of other places you could have ended up. It has everything. A golf course, putt-putt, bowling, parks, movie theaters, a chill downtown, a town center close by. Your friends are here dude, and there awesome. You hate high school, but if you think about it, you love seeing your friends. And going to see them makes it worth while. You didn't do well on a chemistry test, but your friend is in the hallways afterwards waiting to talk to you about that hot chick you always see or what you wanna do after school. And then you're free and thinking about the weekend. Now stop. Think about what you just read, yeah there was some negatives in there, but I bet you feel pretty good right now, like yeah, if you just think positive all of a sudden the day doesn't seem so bad. Like doesn't suck, although college is great you're not in a rush, you've got everything you want right here.
Paragraph 2: Life Decisions.
If something goes wrong, keep the negative to a minimal. It's human nature to be upset or depressed if something goes wrong. But think about it dude, fuck that. Your boyfriend of a year just dumped you. Feel upset. That's all good, because it's not right after you don't let those emotions out. But then, fuck that. You could waste your time trying to get him back or feel sorry for yourself everyday, but that's a cop-out. Go out with your girlfriends, flirt with dudes like you used to and life is good. Who was your boyfriend again? Exactly. Now lets say you bombed an audition. I bombed my pops concert audition, and it was my first awful audition ever. I would wait to my senior year for that to happen. I was upset and talked through my dad and that didn't help. But then I was like fuck that. I had so many good auditions and I'm sure I'll be straight down the line. So I got with Maryanne and practiced the song more. Mrs. VS let us sing at the choir banquet. We ended up totally rocking everyone else that night and I won the Excellent Senior award. The best and proudest night of my life dude. Lets say you bomb a test. And lets be realistic, even if your positive about it you won't study for the next one. You'll be upset, say you'll study for the next one and might not get around to it. But fuck that. If you think positive, you'll be like damn yo, I'm gonna do good on this test. Looking at the material during stinger time and going into class smiling has done the trick. Try that and tell me if it works. It's awesome.
Paragraph 3/4: Getting Girls and girl related issues.
Alright so I might not have the credibility to bring this up, but I think know what I'm talking about and I think you'll agree with me. Lets say your trying to pick a girl up. Sure I've read one of those books on how to pick up women. But no dude those games they play aren't necessary. The key is being positive. If you think you can do it, but approach just not looking positive, you'll get rejected. Even if you don't know if you can do it, but go up to the girl with smile and have the whit and guts to open things up, she'll talk. How do you think all the hot guys get the girls dude? They approach positive. Like the dudes that look at there body in the mirror at night. They have no game, but they go up positively and get the job done and girls connect. That will work I'm pretty sure. Try it, and best of luck. Even if you don't think you can do it and don't know what to say, walk up to her like you can and that you know exactly what you're doing. Positively.
Ok, now lets say your going for this girl, and you can't stop thinking about her. And to add insult to injury lets say you even have a chance, but something is horribly wrong. Like it would be a long distance relationship or the girl is way too young. I had this happen to me recently, and I thought negatively and it was wrong. And I want to save all you guys from making that mistake. Even though she was my friend and I wanted to get with her, she was a sophormore in HS and I was off to college. I just thought about all the negatives, and purposely made her feel awkward around me to make me stop thinking about her. Cause then she backed off, and I thought positive, "oh screw her, more fish in the sea". Now don't get me wrong, that's good too, but it could have been better. If I just thought positive from the start, played my cards right, I might have been able to get with her. Shes one of a kind and I don't know if I'll ever find a girl who enjoyed the same things I do as much, but I copped out. Just think positive, just go for it. Thinking positive is not caring what assholes think. And an asshole is someone who gets in the way of your positive view. If half of the high school thinks it's wrong? Whatever. You're happy and those assholes wont stop you. This can also be applied to general things, like anyone who has ever told you "no". And as you grow up it doesn't matter, high school is just practice. I mean if you went back in time, if Tom Cruise got with Katie Holmes when he was 16, she would have been 2 years old. Talk about creeper dude. But it all worked out.
Paragraph 5: Rethinking Real life stuff.
Lets say your the 30 year-old virgin. Every once in a while you're gonna be depressed as you get older and haven't got laid. But it's straight dude, it happens. Just always think positive, if it hurts, it's no big deal. It has just taken you longer to find the right one. Bitches (sorry ladies) who get turned off by the fact your still a virgin probably aren't worth your time, and it probably makes you realized that there first was probably a mistake anyways. And if you're 30 and think that you need to rethink things, fuck that dude that's negative. You'll end up getting a drunk chick, and although that might sound cool, just no. Good things come to those who wait. And think positive. But most importantly pass it on. Lets say you've got drama going on or someones talking shit. Just think positive and don't care. Cause it doesn't matter, if you're happy all the time it's legit. Don't get suspended ladies for getting in catfights with chicks that start rumors out you. Just screw em' and your friends will support you, and when you show that you don't care, then no one will care. If its between your friends, pick both of there sides and tell them it's all good. And pass it on to your friends. If you don't care about anything and your friends don't care about anything and look at the positives, you'll ALWAYS have fun and you'll NEVER fight. Missteps are just there to make live more exciting and to help you learn from your mistakes. How do you think I became Andy Hulme? Just spread the love and you'll make a name for yourself when you grow up, it's worth it.

You've never been in love or in a relationship before so you don't even know the half of it. You've never had feelings like that before especially if it's been a long-term relationship. So you have no idea what it's like. Therefore, no wonder you don't care if anything like this happened, it's pathetic. All you care about is yourself. That's sad.
uhh... lol? Thanks Gary <_<
So either you've never taken English or you didn't read it at all.
First of all, this is about positive, and you're being negitive. Second, I don't know where I claimed to know anything about long-term relationships or where I gave advice on them. And third, I think it's selfish to say I only care about myself. I actually care about my friends just as much which is why I wrote this. :[
Tears of inspiration are welling up in my eyes after reading this entry; it was awesome, dude. I feel a lot better about life now! I was much in the mindset of the first paragraph, what with HHS going downhill and parents sucking. But then, yeah, I still love going to school, and things are actually improving with my parents! Thanks for reminding me to look at the positive side-- usually I'm extremely optimistic, but winter so far has been so blehhhh.
Well don't listen to the haters, Andy! That person, Gary or not, has apparently been in a long-term relationship and thinks that what you wrote was bullshit. I, on the other hand, am in a long-term relationship and wholeheartedly agree with your point of view! Therefore, it obviously varies from person to person, and "anonymous" over there needs to take a chill pill.
That was a great post.
