Life: Self Respect

Time for some of my views on self respect. No, you don't have to agree with it all as these are my opinions.

Unless you're Hugh Hefner, you have no business wearing your pajamas out of the house. Not even to Walmart. On the same note, you are a disgrace if you let your kids wear theirs to school.

If you don't have a job, then it's your job to get one. Nobody is going to just show up and give you one. Get your butt up, get cleaned up, and start submitting applications. If you don't work, and contribute your part to society, your opinion doesn't matter.

If you're in a bar, the only business you have on a phone is finding a sober ride home, or calling 911 in case of an emergency. Turn that thing off.

If you're having a conversation or dinner with someone, put down your cell phone and look them in the eye.

If your kid can't handle the responsibility of a cell phone, they sure as hell can't handle the responsibility of a car.

If your kid is sagging their pants, it's a reflection of you as a parent. Fix them.

Duck faces are about as cute as a bird crapping on your car. Smile, or put the camera away.

Don't take pictures of yourself in the bathroom. Nothing about you will change in the time it takes you to go to another room, or find someone else to take your picture.

Teach your kid what "no" means today. Otherwise you're setting them up for a lifetime of disappointment.

Brush your teeth.

Be yourself, not what the media says is the in thing.

If you don't vote, don't say anything. You're opinion is null and void until you start voting.

Learn chicken poop versus chicken salad.

If you're 20 or older, and still live at home....move. The only reasons you should still be living there is to save $$$ while you go to school, care for an old/sick parent, because you're mentally incompetent, or are going through a divorce and need a couple weeks to find a new place. Get out, and grow up!

Nobody is above flipping burgers.

If you can't afford rent or a mortgage, you can't afford cable. Turn it off.

If you're on food stamps and/or welfare, you do not need a smart phone. Turn off your iphone, android, blackberry, windows phone, etc.
