Now out of my family and circle of friends, I only count one (thats right one) out of the bunch that can actually relate to what I am saying, is open to my ideas and thoughts, etc. People have called me random, weird, strange, creepy, nice, and everything in between and I embrace every single one of those characteristics...after all they contribute to my individuality and originality. Now where I am getting at? Well I think I know to much about anything and everything. And if im not seasoned I can get salty pretty quickly by doing by research on the subject matter at hand. Heck anybody with half a brain can, its called diligence and not being lazy. So by no means am I stating or implying I possess special abilities above and beyond the average human, but what I am saying is I am out there literally and figuratively. Here are just some of the activities I do, some are nothing new, some are completely out of the blue.
    The honest answer is money. Crazy is homeless, eccentric is Howard Hughes.

I admit when I am wrong.

Some say thats false/delusional hope but I say hope is hope...and if you believe enough it just might happen. Mind over matter in all ways, shape and form. I try to have my extra sense perception on at all times. Maybe I am not exercising that in proper context and I am confusing it with situation awareness but whatever, its there and I am practicing it on a daily basis because thats part of my oasis.
    Well, good luck. 

Location, location, location, targeting the right demographic (the right demographic is everyone, we need mass universal appeal and that is a universal formula for success in any venture). Bikini coffee shops are nothing new, but I have plan to set mine apart from the rest. I wont say anymore and while its not groundbreaking its unorthodox in all its ways, just like me. Always thinking outside the box, inside the box, on top of the box, through the box.
    Placing the idea into a business plan rounds out your concept and lets you determine if said concept is viable. There are some great ideas, that just don’t make a return on the money.

    Trust me people, dont be a sun worshiper. Your skin will look old and leathery and you could very well get cancer, skin cancer to be specific. People just dont realize how detrimental the sun really is. Thats why you see those Asians with their power ranger visors and long sleeves and wide brimmed hats. Peope poke fun at them all the time but when they hit their 40s and 50s they look great, the other careless sun kissing crowd not so much. So this brings me to my next thing, I use an umbrella on a sunny day. Being a dude people either poke fun, think its weird, or whatever is going on in their heads. Thats fine and you have the right to your opinion but to start beef with me over my own practice is something I dont get. I am comfortable enough in my own skin to do this. Its not a cultural norm here but somewhere else it is. So the fact that I can adopt ideas and concepts from other cultures and infuse it with my own, shows how open I really am. Most people think the unfamiliar is weird, whether it be food, ideas, whatever. Now for me, I dont see it that way. I see anything and everything in every possible angle, light, and spectrum.

    I am going out on a limb and saying yes, you are too eccentric for society, without even reading your OP or any responses. I hope so for your sake, but I am a non-conformist.

    But now I am going to go read all of it, maybe i will have to come back and modify.

    Actually you remind me of the character in Catcher in the Rye... Maybe that was what 1950's but you sound like today's version. If you "noticing things" was about how you described that guy's legs then yes that stood out to me too. Still if you ever read that book the guy in it is hilarious. No one seems to measure up to how cool he is.

    per Wiki.. it's deals with complex issues with identity, belonging, connection, alienation and sexuality. Maybe you just need to find where you belong and if not enjoy who you are and find like minded individuals. You can even be a loaner and let your own thoughts knock around in your head for a bit.

    Still I don't think people are hating on you. Frankly most people probably don't even care about what you think. You just put your thoughts out and people will comment or you could always keep them to yourself. That's generally what people do on a board... talk, comment and repeat. Plus since the site has been weird, any thread that goes up can very well get a comment. lol It's like woah new thread lets write something!! Whoo hooo!!! lol Maybe that's just me lol.

    The car thread was actually much more fun Just saying..

    Plus in my few years here I have never started a thread about me. It's usually a topic about something pertaining to the industry. I just don't have that type of ego to have a thread centered around who I am, how my thoughts compare to others . I think people get a better sense of who you are when you post to threads about different topics. Still everything you wrote about who you are or what you like sounds 100% normal. If you're trying to go for different perhaps rock some of those sunburst yellow pasties yourself. Now that would get quite the once over from a few fellow "normies".

    I wonder why he felt the need to cross post these through so many disparate forums. I'm totally loving the responses he got on Yelp.

    ETA I'm also loving that we were the nicest people in our replies. Fuck you, society!

    First things first are you prescribed or do you take any prescription medications? For example do you ever "borrow" a friend's ADHD meds? Ok now do you use illegal drugs? I'm being totally serious, because although I am sure you would not tell me if you did, you sound like you are high on a methamphetamine binge, complete with the extraneous descriptions, erroneous conclusions about yourself and a minor Messiah complex. You aren't eccentric, most people ponder the things you do in their own fashion at least occasionally. However most people don't vocalize their inner musings as if they couuld be the telltale signs of a new breed of genius. You are special, but it doesn't have to do with your flights of daily eccentricity.....lol

    Actually, I bet you anything that you've already come in contact with many of the "highly-thinking" individuals exactly like you - it's just that you were both so busy narcissistically talking over each other and thinking about how much different you are that you didn't even realize what "kindred spirits" you really were.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I'm an emo kid, nonconforming as can be - you'd be nonconforming to if you looked just like me...

    Seriously my friend, you are way over thinking this shit. Everybody is alone in their head, and at some point becomes convinced that the world can't and won't comprehend or accept them. Different people react to this differently - anywhere from narcissism to apathy or 10,000 other things. Figure out what works for you and work on carving out your niche. Stop worrying about what other people think for the most part - no matter who or what you are or do, there are going to be haters and there are going to be supporters and like-minded individuals.

    As for eccentric... Well, these days you can be pretty fucking eccentric within the bounds of even "normal" society in most places. I betting you have a long way to go before you catch up to the Richard Bransons of the world - and he's not even THAT eccentric (MJ reference already made, same with Hughes, and many, many more).

    Thanks for the responses guys and armysgt, very helpful.

    Now I have always been a fan of Michael Jackson, always will be...he was for sure truly eccentric.

    Heck I see him as ahead of his time, getting a rhinoplasty back in the 80s. Guys just didnt do that back then...well its not as common as it is today. Hes the inspiration for me getting my first rhino. He looked good in Thriller, he shoulda stopped there. But that was his body, his choice....who am I to say.

    Nah I am not, I would tell if I was. Only stuff I tried is weed (smoked and ate it). Its not for me. I wouldnt wanna try cocaine or heroine and I dont like to drink alcohol. So other than that, although in the past I have taken meds for depression such as Zoloft.

    I do so to read the different replies/views.
    The VW forum has surprisingly been pretty friendly about all my threads (this, nose job, hardware store girl, etc.)
    I am on 20+ forums and fortunately have a lot of free time.

    Guess bordedom is the devil's workshop...or is that an idle mind?
    Either way I starting to realize how self absorbed I really am.
    Imagine If I was insanely handsome vs my average looks, id probably be the snobbiest douche bag out there.

    Good looking people have it easier. Although sadly in time looks fade...we all have en expiration date/shelf life.

    If only you knew the unique brand of hell and loneliness that comes from being what society deems 'good looking'.

    ^She is very right. I'm not all that pretty and I get it; but my sisters were supermodel material and I saw what they went through growing up. But that's a just-for-the-record comment with no bearing on this thread, because:

    BlackSheEp3, dude, you're fishing and it's obvious and frankly kind of pathetic. You've put pics up in the pics of you thread, responses from the gals here were very positive and you're a very good looking dude - and you know it. The affected humility thing comes off worse than bragging.

    It's good that you're "starting" to realize how self absorbed you are - people reading your last few posts here and elsewhere are way past "starting" to realize it. You post in pics thread asking about your (completely unnecessary) nose job and blatantly fishing for compliments and/or validation, talk about your car, etc - dude, I'm more than a little bit cocky myself and it's kind of nausea-inducing at this point. You're doing the internet equivalent of preening in teh mirror here - on about 20 different boards.

    Spend less time looking at your nose, less time worrying about being something, and more time DOING something. The difference between crazy and eccentric isn't money, though that's an easy barometer - it's action. Accomplishment or even catastrophic failure.

    Until you put something in motion, you're just another person pouting about the world not understanding them - and there is NOTHING unique about that.

    I like the guy. And yes, there IS plenty of it. Some of it from me - and others who have been equally critical here.

    Of course, none of those people started an entire thread with a 1,000 word OP about themselves, the title of which thread literally asks for people's opinion of him in the context of our society. Do that, and chances are - you ll get a few answers...

    BlackSheEp3, dude, you're fishing and it's obvious and frankly kind of pathetic. You've put pics up in the pics of you thread, responses from the gals here were very positive and you're a very good looking dude - and you know it. The affected humility thing comes off worse than bragging.

    It's good that you're "starting" to realize how self absorbed you are - people reading your last few posts here and elsewhere are way past "starting" to realize it. You post in pics thread asking about your (completely unnecessary) nose job and blatantly fishing for compliments and/or validation, talk about your car, etc - dude, I'm more than a little bit cocky myself and it's kind of nausea-inducing at this point. You're doing the internet equivalent of preening in teh mirror here - on about 20 different boards.

    Spend less time looking at your nose, less time worrying about being something, and more time DOING something. The difference between crazy and eccentric isn't money, though that's an easy barometer - it's action. Accomplishment or even catastrophic failure.

    Until you put something in motion, you're just another person pouting about the world not understanding them - and there is NOTHING unique about that.
    1. Not that you were jumping to my defense but thank you.

    2. True, I have posted my mug on almost all the forums I am on. Besides asking family and friends and more than likely hearing something nice, I decided to post up to strangers to see what they thought of my appearance. I know its shallow and we say we shouldn't care what people think but we do for the sake of ourselves. Tell me you honestly dont care what people think of you and your not embarrassed key word embarrassed if say you had a deformed head, or some rare physical attribute that was considered not aesthetically appealing. This has nothing to do with function, you can operate just fine...its just form. What I am getting at is I want to know how people see me truthfully. Once again looks are subjective but there is a norm and what society deems attractive. Georgle Clooney is handsome, most would agree, Matt Damon is ordinary or even can be considered not good looking...most would agree or maybe not. Once again looks is subjective but there is a benchmark. The nose job thing, honestly felt it wasnt drastic enough. I wanted feedback...I know it fit my face and retained ethnic features but I did need or should I say want that validated and reassurance. And honestly even after all that, I am already thinking of a revision. I know when to stop so this second one should be the last in regards to my nose. I seen MJ's transformation, I feel like his first nose job was good already. He could have stopped. His second was still good but it was on the borderline starting to push the envelope. He shoulda stopped there for sure. The third and fourth was just overdone. Now using his rhinoplasty timeline as a guide, I feel like him that I am at nose job #1. Its cool but I want to get to nose job#2 and that should do it for me. I dont wanna get any smaller/more tip projection than that and I know that. As for the very good looking dude comment, thanks thats nice to hear but I honestly dont know or feel that. We are our own worst critic. Its like the hot girl who keeps saying she is ugly when damn well that is not the case. Although I am not the hot dude...most people say I aint bad to look at but I am pretty average. I feel the same. I feel with some more work (just the nose), changing up the hair, clothes, and working on leaning out I can up my attractiveness enough that all the time, money, and effort is worth all of that.

    I will take your advice to heart, and instead of saying this and that I gotta do. Talk is cheap and actions do speak louder than words. So now there is nothing left to do but to do. Fortunately I am privileged enough to have family and a best friend who will help me get the ball rolling on my dream job. To own a tea shop/cafe worked by attractive females (either conservative or scantily clad). And for that I am super thankful because without their time, money, and dedication...my dream would never happen. Anyways enough talk about all that and this. I recognize my faults and for that I must work on em. In the end, were all human.

    Didn't realize Matt Damon wasn't considered unattractive. Then again that statement is coming from someone who marks their days by when they last had their rhinoplasty....Not that I am against cosmetic surgery, but this is too much. Let me get all psychobabble on you, let's say that since you now feel inadequate mentally/emotionally, since you realized that your eccentricity was not only normal, but par for the course, you are going to express yourself by physically projecting what you believe is your true, eccentric self on your face. Bravo! LOL. Do it, because nothing screams "I'm different" than parrotting the most famous pop icon of all time. Or getting plastic surgery to express yourself from the outside in. Whatever works. Post pics if this is for real.
