Another Nice Guy Post?

Am I becoming more cut throat as I age?

Or perhaps the reality of life is dawning on me. Slowly filtering its way through the teenage blinds.

The early 20s are a time of realization.

And being a nice guy just don't seem to cut it anymore. People want more. They want drive, ambition, blood, sweat and tears.

You become defined by the work you do. The car you drive. The grades you earn.

I feel like I should comment on the "nice guys finish last" notion. It's more truth than ever. If you're going to try and coast through life off just being a "nice guy". Then you will find yourself finishing last. And this is not only true for relationships but pretty much every factor of life.

I've written a fair bit on this blog about the harsh realization i've had to face. That my nice guy characteristics have found me very little success in life. And it is when I become harsh, cold and calculated that I seem to reap the rewards.

Of course i'd rather people just appreciate me for who I am. But hey, there's nothing I can do about society really. I live in it. I'll have to play by the rules.

Miley Cyrus has been in the news a fair bit lately. Try and ignore the irony of me speaking about how annoying speaking about miley cyrus is..if that made any sense. But wow are people really fixated on this girl and her behaviour. What fascinates me is how miley cyrus isn't really "real" for a lot of people. Not real in the sense that they know family members or friends. But I see people getting so worked up over her. They write long passionate paragraphs. I've seen heated arguments over this! Not too mention the cliche open letters fellow celebrities send. It's all nauseating. I wish people would devote their time to shit that'll actually matter in a month or two.
