As you might know, I'm Serbian, and I've been born there and have lived until the age of 9. My parents as well of course. My grandmother (dad's mother), was a village girl, who was forced at a young age to marry a man at the parent's choosing, and thus she married a man in a city, my grandfather who I've never meet and I'll tell you why in a second. This is how most of the world worked back then... we have the patriarchal hierarchy to thank for that.
Anyways, my father was born in the city. His father, my grandfather, died when my father was only 13... and so my grandmother and dad were only left with the house... and neither a job, as my dad was only 13, and my grandmother was a house wife. They literally had nothing to live on, so my grandmother literally had to work all day,... as a village lady who's never had a job other then house work can't get much then just being a maid at other's houses... and my dad at the age of 13 had to go work with daily on a plant.
Point is, even though they both worked a job, all they had was just enough for food and basic clothes... and by clothes, I don't mean like today where people go shopping every week or month, but 2-3 pieces of clothes that you where until that shit rips apart. They had nothing.
Coming from that broke of a family, my father did not even think of continuing his education after high school,... even though he was a straight A student through out all his years... yet my grandmother was the one that came up to him... she went around begging people that she knew to lend her money, and in return she'll clean their house for a certain period of time, and this was along with the little by little money that she was saving... and she told my dad she had enough money to pay for his first year, but after that, it will be impossible and that he had to find a way.
My dad went, he also like your mom had to travel about 45km to his university... during winter time he had no choice but to take the bus, and to save money as he pretty much didn't have any, on any good day bike.
He managed to finish his first year with excellent results, with a 9.4 average if I recall... which is like a 94% in our books. He wasn't top of the class, but he was close... good enough to get himself a scholarship for the upcoming years. Second year he excelled to 9.6. Third and his final year, he finished with a 10.0 average... 100%... no one else had it but him. That third year, he was awarded the best engineer student... not in university... in Serbia.
Right after that, he right away became an electrical engineer professor and then life got better... but for a guy to lose a father at the age of 13,... hardly have anything to live on, and yet achieve what he achieved... I would think is just amazing.
On the other hand, me... genes usually follow, and sure call it boosting, but I'm just naturally intelligent. I certainly did not have to live what my father had to live through, but no matter, I appreciate my accomplishments and I have dedication and motivation to reach these achievements. I can honestly say I'm not as smart or brilliant as my dad is... he's honestly a pure genius... but even so, my accomplishments thus far have proved that I'm probably in the top 1% of my generation, which is good enough for me.
On the other hand, you apparently see me as this spoiled kid who gets payed by mommy and daddy... but sorry to say, after reading that you story you can just imagine my dad's mentality.... he wants me to be independent as much as he has been... even though they would probably even give me the money if I really needed it... as they always give me some when I go out or have to buy something... but school, is a different story. So with that said, I worked hard enough ... hard enough to get a $24,000 scholarship (4 year program), so there you have it... I'm not some "rich spoiled kid" that you have imagined in your hand. I'm a normal average person just like any other kid here in Canada, yet it's my actions and accomplishments that have excelled me to become better then average.
ps. Last but not least, what is really at discussion here, is the server topic. Not one thing that I have said is a lie. I know. Rabi knows it. Chris knows it. Vincent knows it. If you have been following the topic from the start, which you obviously haven't, you have read that I clearly said that I loved his last server that opened 1.5 years ago, loved his creativity and the way he ran it. About 1 month ago when it was opening again, I had that great feeling in me still, however it wasn't until a few days later after release that his creativity was still there, but his personality took a walk on the wrong pathway. He has totally lost it, and honestly acted like a retard. I being the good loyal member, did not like what I was seeing, but however since I did play the server, it was in my best interest not to share anything. It was only until I've just had enough with his bullshit that I came out with all the stories. As I said, none of it was bullshit... if you don't believe me, that's your fault, but I have others to vouch what he did, and of all the arguments we've had, of which the minority took over MSN, I can even show you the MSN logs.
"I am clearly annoying you, you dick, so my job is done for today. See you tomorrow. It will be a new day, but same bullshit. I live in the Netherlands ??? ?"
It shouldn't look that proper, but it should look something close to that so people don't actually see you as a retarded Turk from the start.
Only thing you are doing is repeating yourself like a little parrot. "umadbro... umadbro... umadbro... umadbro... umadbro". I'm pretty sure you're raging much more at the end of that computer then I'm laughing on this side of the computer... trololol
And people call me egoistic. "I am criminal and I'm proud of it... I wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't done what I've done". Truth is you're still no where man, wake up, get legit, stop smoking crack and thinking that you're going places, and get an education if you actually want to achieve something.
Yes I understand USA is a crappy place to be in right now with this economically place,... don't blame us, blame your government. It's only the USA, and partially Canada that is having this problem of getting a job with a finished degree... doesn't mean that the rest of the world is to.
Fact is, there is all kinds of people in this world. People that know how to get by even without an education, with their fox instincts... but most of the world revolves of what society structures it to be... and it just so happens that an education is required for a good occupation.
And no shit life isn't all about college and KO. Health/family primary, college secondary, friends/girlfriends/gaming tertiary. That's as simple as my life gets. It might look simple, and it probably is, but that's the way I like my life to be for now.
Anyways at the whole joke, "sony is in a music deal" or whatever it is... good joke. My advice is as I've said before,... stop smoking weed everyday, wake up one day, and realize in how big of shit hole you are... thing is, don't panic... you have nothing to lose and everything to gain... not by your dreams of becoming a musician, which would be like winning the lottery... but of becoming a person that exceeds in society's expectations.
Wake up Vince.
