*edit (This article contains extensive use of the word "fuck". Also you can add typos to my list of fuck-ups at the bottom)
There was a discussion ongoing here between myself and another blogger here regarding whether or not your job is responsible for your actions.
Let me make this clear : No one is responsible for anything you do but YOU. Not in the slightest. Want to differ? Get institutionalized or volunteer for Euthanization because you do not qualify to be a member of society.
The people at work drink? Great. Either drink or don't. They fuck women other than their wives? Ok. Cheat or don't. Be a fucking Man or a mouse. Nothing else to it. Anything else is pure cowardice and less than human. Blame anyone but yourself for your fucking problems and you no longer qualify as a sentient.
Own up or fuck right off. No excuses for you or anyone else. You did it or you didn't. They did or they didn't. Nothing else enters into it.
My list of fuckups? Fine :
I drink. A LOT.
I eat. A TON.
I am lazy. I don't exercise EVER.
I obsess over things because it is a form of escape from MY RESPONSIBILITIES. I do it. Not you, not my job, not my wife, and not my parents.
I have no degree. See above. It is NOT the Army's fault.
Feel free to own your own flaws in the comments. It's liberating.
