Agreed.

Where's the hustler who did it the old-fashioned way? (Education and corporate schmoozing?)

Jason: "I don't believe in miracles. I rely on them" :lol

This was a pretty beauty thread tho, I'm glad it happened

Failure is an option in your world?

Well played!

I'm only 23 tho; failure is actually a necessity in my life. I like to think of failure as a free lesson in how not to do things. Another upside to failing is that you learn valuable lessons from it. If one fails and learns a valuable lesson from it, is still considered a failure?

I've made many mistakes in my life, now that I look back on it I realize that those failures were so insignificant. Yet the lessons learnt have still stuck with me. Also, I'm a very "trial and error" kind of guy, if I never made errors I would never learn anything.

I was more so referring to you putting all your eggs into one basket.

Oh man, that made my day. Sig worthy.

Kinda OT but I think this whole thread derailed a long time ago... I personally love all the characters on RS. There should be a reality show with some of the more prominent figures around here. I'll leave user names out, but I can think of plenty of elitists, dirtbags, assholes, pervs and decent honest people alike to make me wanna watch if you put them all in one house lol

You should post the usernames to get the ball rolling, you know, so Jason could write a book about it and casually change the usernames around so he doesn't get sued.

^ lol. We all know you just wanna see what category you'd be in, Dukes.. ;)

First off, keep your pity to yourself, I don't need it.
I just can't get over just how ignorant and immature this statement is. My life blossomed when my kids were born and I began to build a life for them and myself/wife. I don't expect anyone who hasn't experienced it to understand. However, I have lived Jason's life. If you think for one minute that his way is the right way, then you have a serious mental deficiency. What bugs me, is that he's recruiting similar "weak" minded individuals not much different than what Amway does. Easy money, fun times. Don't believe it? Look at the guys who failed me.

I simply said that by NOT living Jason's "fuck, drink, get high" lifestyle that I was able to focus on making money and creating a LEGACY for myself. A legacy that includes birthing new people who have been taught to work hard and use their skills. A legacy that guarantees that I can take a couple days off work to take my son to his hockey tournaments. A legacy that allows me to live a fine life while averaging 5 hours of work a day. It took 18 years to get to that point, but I'm here now.

If you don't get that, then I have no reason to continue with this thread.

Looking at the thanks and fails, I see that some of us get it while others don't.

To those who failed me, come back in 10 years and see where your life has taken you. If you're worth millions, then I apologize in advance because obviously you were right. However to those who subscribed to the Jason lifestyle I say, "Yes I would like fries with that".

:fullofwin:

I have a problem with anyone convincing anyone that their lifestyle is THE way.

Isn't that our problem with people/friends that involved in the following things:

Amway
Primerica
Church/religion

They find over-priced home products/unique home business opportunity/Jesus and instantly, you need to be convinced to also find the light at the end of the long, cold dark tunnel you exist in where you buy your dish soap at a store/buy your insurance from an agent/just live well without praying about it once a week.

Same difference here.

I'm honestly not trying to crap on your life, but dude, you come across as desperate in seeking the admiration of the group here to justify the decisions you make. Just what I'm getting.

Fuck, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the book will be a hit. See..I don't need to convince you to stop to validate that I didn't start.

Get real bud. In true junkie fashion you're a cockroach that thinks he's a god.

It's amusing to me that he doesn't want to get caught up in a materialistic world of wealth but he talks about "making money" non-stop. Talks about making money to the extent where others will get sickened by the amount he is making...But he doesn't value it...

...I've always lived by a principle that I still stand by today...Those who have truly earned financial wealth, don't need to talk about it. Those who have not, are always talking as if they have. Those who have everything need not mention it. Those who have nothing are constantly struggling to show others that they have it all.

Why would anyone talk about how wealthy they're GOING to be...? Do you know how easy that is? To TALK!? You keep saying I'm going to be this and I'm going to be that....Talk about it less, brag about it less, become that person and then come back and say "fuck you guys...I told you." Until then, you have no ground to stand on, you've done nothing that supports your credibility for success.

For those who think this little "stir" is creating positive marketing for this guy...you're so wrong. None of us are going to say to ourself "oh we're so irritated by this guy so now we're going to buy his "book!"" Come on, get real...

that's not true, I may download it illegally to see what all the fuss is about :ilied:

MY statement is ignorant?

I never once said that Jason's way of life is the right way.

What pissed me off was your condescendence towards people who aren't following the path of going to school, going to work, buying a house, and having kids. That life works for you, great. You don't have to rub your superiority in the faces of people who chose a different path.

I graduated early and became an engineer at 20. I could've easily saved up, bought a house, invested, and so on. But I chose to pursue my other passions of the arts. That's what fulfills me. Is it the best financial decision? No. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Jason's life is irresponsible, outlandish, and even offensive.

But he's happy being broke and nailing broads. You're happy taking your kids to hockey games.
Take the money and conventionalism out of the equation, and you're both just doing what makes you happy. You can't compare levels of happiness.
You're both alive and can put food on the table. The rest is subjective noise.

PJ, you sound like a very smart guy and from what you're written, you probably are. But, I think you may have jumped into this conversation a little late and perhaps missed a series of events.

Hypa didn't come in here scrutinizing Jason's lifestyle...He came in here after Jason continued to rant about how his lifestyle is dominant to those who have chosen the alternate...Hypa came in to show him the contrary and that he is successful AND HAPPY and went a different route. You're making him out to be some guy who's looking down on everyone who hasn't done things his way, which is far from the case. He's simply saying that he's gone that route that Jason's criticizing and scrutinizing and constantly trying to bring down....and he's HAPPIER than he's ever been and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Don't make this a battle between people who have chosen education and the current traditional way of life against those who have not. I am one who believes in education and has chosen that route but don't feel that everyone should do it or else die...Neither does Hypa or anyone else that's commented on this stance thus far...

Now let's remember what has brought us all together here in the first place....it's our common hatred for Jason's bullshit stories and crackhead fairy tales. WE MUST NEVER FORGET THIS COMMONALITY!

I just ordered some pizza and threw in a handful of kernels into the popcorn machine.

Dis gun be good.

Looks like I did skip over Jason's criticisms of the working-man's life. Maybe I'm just used to skimming right through his random/OT posts :lawl:

As long as both sides are alive and happy, no lifestyle is dominant over any other.

But I will say that people who do chase a dream live more colourful lives.
Mind you, some people's dreams are, in fact, raising kids and living within the norm. And that's awesome. But that's no more and no less "real" than people whose dreams are to climb Everest.

(I'll probably get failed for this, but whatever.) To SLIGHTLY second what Jason MIGHT be trying to say, is that given the amount of time, anyone can slug through school, sit in an office, and tap away on a calculator. But not everyone has the courage to stray from that.

There are people who love being accountants/engineers/whatever, but there are also people who hate it, and just do it because that's what everyone else is doing. On the other end of the spectrum, there is no one who chases an unconventional dream just because everyone else is doing it. These people do it for themselves, because that's what truly fulfills them. So to play devil's advocate, I say Jason's argument wins over the minority (hopefully) who sticks to the norm just because they're afraid to venture outside of the box.

I wish you guys knew what bipolar really was.

^ why is that even relevant in this thread?

It's gone this far off track already ... Fuck it! Let's talk about Bipolar

:suspicious:Lets take it easy on him now, and keep those hits above the belt. The last thing we need is yet another crap on so and so thread. They're cheap.

What will be even more interesting, is when the book comes out, and the character eerily sounds like Hypa and Parm!

Shit, if any of you guys make it to the launch party, I'll give you a signed copy, along with a triple on ice, free.

Still trying to figure out what venue to host it at in Gastown.

Honestly, I was interested in the book until you mentioned the sex tape. If the book comes with a sex tape, there is no way I buy it. Did you think of that? Buying a book is one thing, buying a sex tape / book combo is a whole other ballgame. Not sure how you'd sell a sex tape at a book store though so I assume they are separate and not sure how you would get the exposure to use the sex tape as a marketing tool? :confused: Or buy the book and get a voucher of sorts for the sex tape?

Why am I even asking lol..

If you do what normal people do, you're going to get what normal people get.

that's all I'm going to say.

No, I'm releasing the tape online, on adult tube sites, for free. I will try and get the movie a few million views in February. I have to try and see if someone can sell a book with porn. Nobody has tried it before.

I'm also planning on shooting a short film, like, 1 minute long, that introduces the porn tape. My friend has a RED Scarlet so I might hire him. Still figuring it out with less than a month to release!
