Justin...you could just try to relax and be nice. :) Some understanding goes a long way. But if some schmuck starts jiggling my seat then the prick is getting an eyeful of my Zebralight. :D

I like going out and spending some money. I'm not rich at all, but it's nice to be somewhat frugal with money in order to splurge on some theater every now and then. The wife loves Broadway, so we go to those shows pretty often. Oddly, we see more Broadway shows than movies in the theater. Either way, going out for a theater experience is really enjoyable regardless of the ticket cost. We tend to sneak in snacks anyway.

Considering where I live, I can't really have any guns. So, you guys are going to have to take me shooting at the next/first Order of Kai meetup. :)

Typical, you're one of them kids, mommy and daddy pays for everything. I had a job at 12 because I wouldn't let my parents pay for everything I wanted to do.
My sister on the otherhand had everything taken care of for her and still can't stand on her own two feet. I am so glad I wasn't brought up like that. I won't say anything else about it because I won't stop.

Well they don't pay for everything. I mean, I've paid at least $1500 on my knives :p
And now for the serious part.

I'm responsible for buying my own laptop, car/motorcycle, and other luxuries I own. The only crap I don't buy is food (actually I do buy that sometimes), school supplies, and the other necessaties. And when they do buy my stuff, they usually make me do extra stuff around the house for payment.

And now for the part you didn't know about me.

For about the first half of my life my family and I were surviving paycheck to paycheck (we still do sometimes, mostly during Christmas) I remember at times when i was around 8, my parents didn't know whether, or not we were going to pay all the bills, and be able to buy food. Whether if we were going to get kicked out of our house, or not. Really we only got out of that dilemma when I was in 6th grade. So I'd appreciate to not be referred to as one of those kids, who got everything they wanted on a silver platter.........Because really none of you know anything about who I am, or what I've done/been through.
AND I'LL STOP HERE.
I have more of my early life to share with you, if you want.

Meh. I hate to be that guy (no I don't, I love it), but I've been through worse. A child of a broken home made of first generation immigrants will net you much worse in my case, I assure you. That being said, you kind of walked into what Justin said with your quip of "I don't pay for them :P" so you don't have much right to get bent out of shape from a misunderstanding that you yourself perpetuated. Moreover, it's a bit disingenuous to be touchy about a subject that you say is sensitive, and in the same breath joke about how much you've spent on knives. This isn't about a pissing match of who had a worse fiscal upbringing, but it's a point that you may not be the only person who's known hardship.

It's fun to joke, but if you're going to play a victim card in the same post as a smiley face regarding your financial frivolity, then I'm just not going to take it seriously. Others may, but I won't. Life sucks for a good percent of people, and I've spent a lot of years (and continue to spend time) volunteering to help feed people that would kill for an opportunity to live paycheck to paycheck.

So, you started it, Justin reacted. Life goes on, people do what they can to get by. Now you know how rude I can be. :D

I do try to be but it never fails. I just don't like to put myself in a bad situation where I know what will happen. Fool me once type of thing. I guess i give everyone respect until they show me they don't deserve it. I have a swift brand of justice, I always have and always will, I do not like it when people take advantage of my respectful personality.
There nothing wrong with doing what makes you happy, I'm not bashing that at all. I am only giving my own point of view. It's nice to get out and do something every once in awhile. I enjoy different things than most, I am usually more happy away from people because I can't tolerate stupidity. Thats just me and I embrace myself. I guess after seeing how most people treat those who don't stand up for themselves, or those who are just trying to help only to be beat up over it, I have lost a lot of patience over it all. I really am a nice person but It probably doesn't show here much. I am ok with that :)

Ok I'm back. Sorry juju, for going off on you, but that's a touchy subject for me.

I wouldn't call it going off, you didn't call me any names or compare me to anything. It's more my fault for letting myself go off on a rant. All I hear about all day long is little rich bastards without a care in the world having everything handed to them and complaining about it the whole way. I won't juxtepose you to them again. but that post sounded way too familiar to what I hear from "them", so I hope you can see where I was coming from. No worries here, we are order brothers afterall.

And a meet up would be damn fun. May have to do a east coast, west coast though with the diversity. and definetly an all call for the warehouse sale!
