+31Sometimes you just have those days when everything feels pointless and you just sit and think, fazed out. amirite?
Take a dump. Tell someone to go fuck themselves. Date your best friend's mom. Say swear words. Spend all your cash on drugs. Have sex with someone random. Be sexy. Say screw you. Swear out loud. Laugh at stupid people. Make little kids cry. Don't apologize to the parents. Tell someone how to be mean. Tell a 13-year-old girl what you think of her stupid post. Stab someone until their stomach hurts. This is the way to live life, amirite?
his point is, you can say anything in that fashion and make it sound inspiring and deep and a good idea. i guess that's called charisma, but i dont know if that's the right word.
@882044 (eldorito):"Stab someone until their stomach hurts" one stab is never enough is it
This should be POTD..
She was referring to eldorito's comment, not the original post.
Will you marry me?
Definitely.
You, my friend, are awesome.
Yeah You Are!
For all the commentators who argue that the activities described by the original post are careless and imprudent, so are the activities described in the above comment. I am shocked by the exemplified hypocrisy as well as extent to which opinion is affected by emotion. Do not try to describe how to live life on amirite.net. Entertainment and leisure sites may have their purpose, and although I cannot tell you the way to live life optimally, I can assure you it does not begin with this.
Go fuck yourself.
Are you seriously getting pissed off over that comment? Does this post actually mean that much to you?
If you are honestly that inspired by this post, then go on facebook, look at any preppy 15-year-old girl's profile, and look at her "About Me". I'm sure you'll be feeling warm and fuzzy again in no time.
As someone who has gotten a second chance at life, yes, this post does mean 'that much to me'.
"A second chance at life"?
Do tell.
When I was 10 I was diagnosed with cancer. I shouldn't be alive right now. So many years of chemo, so little hope. Yet here I am.
But then you just proved my point. You had to pay for treatment, right? So it's a good thing your parents didn't live by this and go out and spend all of their money.
But that's awesome nonetheless.
Crazy, I know. And you're focusing on just a tiny part of the message. What you should be getting from it is 'Go, be free. Live
like there is no tomorrow, because there might not be.'
But if you live like there's no tomorrow, when tomorrow comes you're screwed.
Live like there's no tomorrow, but be prepared for when it comes?
wuht.
I don't know, I'm hungover as shit...
Oh hahaha well sorry about that, then.
Haha I'm a big girl, I was smart enough to stop before throwing up! It was New Years, what can I say? lol
Fine. Have fun living In your little box.
Will do
It's not a little box to play it safe. In reality-- this post wouldn't work in the real world.
Maybe we just need to rid the world of closed minded people like you, amirite?
I am quite far from close minded. But this is saying, take risks all the time! That does more harm than good. Playing it safe is not close minded.
Where does it say to take risks all the time?
Take chances. Date someone totally wrong for you. Spend all your cash. Regret nothing. Be random. Tell a jerk what you think.
Basically it's saying take risks.
If those are all risks to you, you are way to sheltered.
How is dating someone you already know is wrong not a risk? Or spending all your cash? I'm done with this post so...
Good.
No, they didn't. We couldn't afford any of the treatments. ANY of them. Then one morning the doorbell rang, but there was nobody there. But, there was a check for 40,000 dollars laying on the doormat. A complete miracle.
Thank you for complying.
Fuck. You.@882044 (eldorito):
Wow. For a 12-year-old, you certainly have a colorful vocabulary.
I'm 15, and I'm not going to waste my "colorful" vocabulary on someone like you.@886554 (eldorito):
"someone like you"
Sounds like you have unnecessary contempt for me.
You know.. You're suppose to be 16 on this site. I wouldn't be flaunting my age around on this site if i were you. No one will take you seriously, and Anthony will cut your account if he finds out. Now, be mature, stop your fighting and be original. Don't pull crap off of FB or myspace. You come here to post YOUR opinions. No one elses.
Awh, sad that someone disagrees? Well this is the big bad world of amirite, hun. Get used to it.
...That's all a really good point, I'd never noticed that before (that this kind of stuff doesn't actually mean anything/make a difference).
u took the words right out of my mouth...there are always consequences for actions... if this poster was maybe 80 and there advice worked for them than maybe I wouldn`t have no wayed but this girls not even half a century. She and the rest of us don`t know a thing about life and spending all my money and getting in bad relationships and giving myself to people i don`t trust will lead to insecurity financially and emotionally and no respect for myself or others.
This comment is my highlight of 2010.
Agree with EVERYTHING you said, except the telling the truth part. You should always tell the truth, no matter what.
Dishonesty hurts people. I hate it. Sometimes it makes things easier for you, but in the long run, it's a bad idea.
wow you are a buzzkill, liking it just means that you agree with the overall messgae, not every detail
it just means experiencing every part of life, good or bad. If you don't to fully live your life, I respect that.@776248 (polarthebear):
If being an idiot is a part of fully living, I would prefer not to.
You, sir, are awesome.
I love you. Can we get married? I will sex you all the time and make you sammiches.
To me living your life to the fullest doesn't include purposely hurting your future. You spend all your money and I'd like to see how "fully" you live your life
Don't tell me what to do GRANDPA
Best 1st comment on a POTD ever.
All jokes aside, I hate this post and the OP is probably your average 14 year old preppy girl. Sad, she isn't going to achieve anything in life with her crappy, cliche, unrealistic attitude.
I love you. <<<<<NOT REFERING TO THE POST<<<<<
Very true
this made me laugh SO hard.
I may be wrong, but dating someone totally wrong for you and spending all of your cash sounds like really REGRETFUL things.
Just saying.
Maybe the OP means that it's better to make mistakes and learn from them, or at least have fun while doing them, than to never do anything you ''shouldn't'' do.
but some mistakes are permanent, you can't spend all of your money and hook up with a pimp and then expect to go "Geez-o-pete! I sure learned my lesson!"
You have to take responsibility for your actions. Having fun in life is fine, good, and wonderful, but you have to take care of your responsibilities as well. Nobody's going to cut you any slack or give you any hand outs.
I agree completely, but I still think it's better to live and learn rather than regret not doing something when it's too late. About the whole spending money thing, I think it depends on your age. For example I know a girl who's almost sixteen now, yet still hasn't spent her Communion money because she's too scared. I think it's best to know how to spend money responsibly, even if it means being low on cash every once in a while rather than always being paranoid about not having enough. But that's just my opinion :)
I agree, that's why I said it's best to know how to spend it responsibly, even if you're low on cash every once in a while. You can't learn how to spend money, or do anything else responsibly without knowing what it's like to be on both sides of the spectrum. I mean, if you grew up extremely poor, and got a bit of money you'd most likely be stingy with it, afraid that you won't have money again if you spend it, and if you grew up with loads of money and weren't taught how to do budgets, etc., you'd most likely spend it all and regret it.
Spending all your cash doesn't have to mean spending all your money.
Don't have sex. You'll get pregnant. And die. Especiall when dating the wrong person. D:<
The dating someone wrong for you part was the only part I had a problem with. You shouldn't do something you know will end in hurt.
I think it's good to learn though. You might not realize the person you're dating is totally wrong for you, but you can gain a greater understanding of yourself and your standards and what you deserve if you make a mistake.
And saying No.
Well, if the jerk is in a lot of your classes and can make your life a living hell, don't do that. Wait until the last day you see them so they can't make any witty retorts ;)
haha! my friend moved across the country so she wrote a bunch of letters to people she hated and gave them to them. they still dont know it was her :)
When I graduate highschool, I will most definitely do that...
Me too. Cant wait now..
I feel like most jerks aren't ever going to come up with anything witty.
In that case, they won't be able to crush your skull. Haha
Hm, good point.
I prefer to learn my lessons from the mistakes of idiots like you.
Oh I just commented on your amiwrong post. Hahaa
Yeah.. Crash test dummies.
Ew. The overall "look how cheery and bubbly I am!" effect that is strived for here kind of makes me wanna punch babies. Then again... I ALWAYS wanna punch babies. :)
Totes.
Haha my friend always says he wants to punch babies when he's pissed off.
i prefer to microwave them ;)
what's wrong with loving life?@776393 (Burlesque):
There's a difference between loving life and being "OMG IM SO BUBBLY AND INSPIRATIONAL!"
thats not loving life thats being dumb and stupid and making your life sucky
dont be a vagina
i'm not a vagina who posts shit on facebook thinking that i'm deep... what you talking about
Dood, respond to my comment and let us have a battle of wits, a bare knuckle boxing of words. I did respond to your comment respectfully, the least you can do is have the courtesy to reply back in some form or fashion.
I love how you say this. The shitty grammar makes it even funnier. You're a stupid anonymous poster, you probably know nothing, and you're absolutely hilarious.
How can you register that all from "dont be a vagina"?
I think you'll find the ratio of people who are "happy" and people who are "successful/happy" shockingly similar to the ratio of YYA's and NW's.
I favorited this just because it's stupid, and my friends might get a laugh out of it. U mad?
See, I clearly thought something different from what all the negative voters though, and different from the positives.
I though something like, learn from the mistake of dating someone wrong for you (not to actually go out and do it on purpose), spend all your cash (as in just your cash [splurge a little on something nice], not all your money, because that would be utterly stupid), and to do all the other things when it's reasonable (not all the time like a 15-year-old loser).
Look Polar thy dreaded bareman express! We are not all emotionless robotic robotmen sent from the future, we were not "sent here to destroy all humans" (read in a robotic voice) and can't exist solely on logic and reasoning.
The overall message is try something new, try something different, take a risk. There's nothing wrong with that. Most people live in a rut, doing the same things day after day. Going the same direction to work, as they always have and talking to the same people at work (that they probably hate). Given, most people are probably not going to read this and then all the sudden change the way they live, there are some people who will look at this and get something meaningful out of it. I mean the "cliche myspace quotes" are cliche to the Americans who have gotten used to it, but in other countries where these quotes aren't common, they can be taken as brilliant (that's me pushing it, for the sake of this argument). So keep an open mind ;]
Something meaningful? None of this means anything.
None of what means anything? What I just said?
I see what you are saying, but there are probably tons of people who have never heard of things like this before, to them it's not cliche (with an accent). You have to realize despite the ops intentions, the audience gets the message they want to take away from it. And cliches (with an accent) do (or at least did at one point) hold powerful messages and are actually meaningful.
For example if a person goes around the world, telling everyone that fire burns and therefore should not be touched (if everyone spoke one language...) the message he delivers becomes common sense to him after a while, but the people who hear it for the first time are actually learning that they should not touch fire. Some people might go head and touch the fire, but there are also people who will heed his words. And being realistic, this person will tell the first person he sees with a lot of excitement and the last person carelessly. However these two people still got the same message.
Be fat, eat mcdonalds, get obese, sue mcdonalds, eat at burger king instead, get your stomach stapled, over eat, die from the issues this causes. This is the way of the fat man, amirite?
*Americans.
I can say this because I'm American :P
cliché
Oh, shut up with your myspace quotes
I'll be honest, this was someone's status on facebook and I stole it. I still believe it 100%.
Abbbbbsolutely nothing. But these are just meaningless word TRYING to be bright and inspiring. How many people are really going to get in a messed up relationship on purpose, knowing that it won't work out? How many people are actually going to spend all their money just for the sake of "living life to the fullest"? These words are pointless, and people thinking they're so thoughtful and amazing it what really irritates me. anyone can put a bunch of actions together and call it an inspiring message. It still means nothing.
I did that all in one night. I had a hangover the next morning.
I thought differently when I read this post. I thought that it meant learning from the mistake of dating someone totally wrong for you, not doing it on purpose. I think we've all dated someone we shouldn't and never realized at the time. But it's a learning experience. Also, when I read "spend all your cash," I think more like, all your extra cash, not all your money; like splurging.
The point is that taking a chance and being happy for that one moment may be better than striving for something that you'll probably never end up getting and end up dying before having. You could die any minute so you might as well love every second. And how do you know if this is inspiring or not? Maybe this did inspire some people. I can honestly say this is exactly how I live my life.@776428 (Burlesque):
If this is how you live your life, then how do you afford internet?
Oh my god, Manwathiel, you can't just ask people how they afford things.
SURE WHY NOT SPEND ALL MY MONEY SO I CAN LIVE ON THE STREETS?
this is so cliche it makes me want to puke
Then do it. Who is stopping you?
i just ate a perfectly good bagel, if i puke it up the children starving in Haiti will feel insulted.
Sure.. Only the kids in Haiti will feel insulted :-D
Lmao
This is something typical and unoriginal for a teenage girl to say, who doesn't really think about her future, and uses these sayings to justify doing the things that probably will harm them in the end
THIS is how we end 2010? I didn't think this year was THAT bad...
How about this;
Take chances that you are willing to take. Tell the truth to the people who deserve it. Date someone that actually makes you happy. Say no to the person who wants to date you, but is totally wrong for you. Don't spend all your money, idiot. Have a conversation with someone who peaks your interest. Be who you are, and not some 13-year-old fucktard. Say I love you to the person you would die for. Make a new album and name it something totally ridiculous . Stand there awkwardly when someone laughs at their own joke, and no one else is laughing. Cry then deck that asshole in the face. Apologize for not putting them out of their misery . Tell someone how much they mean to you face-to-face. Become the jerk. Laugh till you pass out from lack of oxygen. Regret nothing and dont tell personal stories to your drunk friends.
And don't make out with your drunken friends... Unless you're not going to regret it!
I'm regretting my plus vote though, because apparently I thought something totally different when I read the post...
What do a post, a joke, and a frog have in common? If you dissect them they're dead.
I agree with polarthebear and el_dorito... and I've posted something I meant to be "inspirational" before, just not in such a sappy, phony, and yes extremely cliché way. Also, I didn't steal mine from someone elses Fb page.
You know, I really do like Fanta.
Penguins can't fly.
Nor can toothbrushes.
I came.
no.
Maybe.
Yes.
Nes.
This is basically saying if you don't do these those things you're living life wrong. Everyone should live their life the way they want to ( as long as it's not hurting anyone else) and if that is doing the opposite of that list so what?
Can't believe I'm being one of these people, but... Why is this POTD? Seriously?
WARNING: Spending all of your cash is never a good idea.
Aw, I was gonna rip on this, but I see everyone already did the job.
Well, have a happy new year~
OMG this post is so deep and orginal!!1! Im gonna go put this as my fcebook cuz evryone knows that ppl never put inspirationul stuff like this anymore!!
Ok, we have people hating on the POTD, to be expected. A poorly timed Herpes Lawyer, standard with any POTD. That Zubat fucker is still eating chips, presumably Doritos. Jess came, and I saw some anti-semitism somewhere up there. Great Scott, this may just be the most complete post I've ever seen!!
"That Zubat fucker is still eating chips."
Hahaha nice
Im just awesome.
loljk im a loser. :(
I think you're pretty awesome. But you do cum a lot, I have to get in on that.
It makes it more easier for you slip and fall face first into my crotch, my dear.
Oh, you! Sounds delicious. ;D
Im hungry.
Go get me McDonalds.
Which btw, i only had for the first time last year :$
Im hungry.
Go get me McDonalds.
Which btw, i only had for the first time last year :$
Dammit, woman! You got me in the mood for McDs, too. I'll get you some McDonald's, but you're going to have to pay me back. No money, though, you'll have to improvise.
How has it taken you that long?
mom and dad dont believe in fast food.
I had Wendy's the first time last month.
That's understandable. I love Wendy's, but you gotta try White Castle and Burger King. I would live exclusively on those if it wouldn't result in an early death.
Now I gotta go find something to eat, I don't believe I've eaten in two days.
i really dont like burger king :/
Well, I can't talk to you anymore.
Nah, but I think they have the best fries.
yeah their fries are amazing.
Wtf? If I want to read this crap, I'll go to MLIA...
no this advice is shit and should never have been POTD
Why, Anthony. Why would you start 2011 with THIS???
Anthony is probably just trying to troll us all. OP was just an accessory.
What I really don't get is why so many people voted "Yeah You Are" on this.
This site is mostly populated by girls who think they're deep, but they're not. It's similar to the people that only listen to the most obscure indie music thinking that it's so good that "common frat boys" won't appreciate its value, when in all reality, it's a load of shit.
Either that, or it's like that quote by B.o.B. that plagued Facebook a couple months ago. You know, that one about airplanes and shooting stars and MaKiNg♥A♥wIsH.
I mean, there are some deep people on Amirite, but this post is just flat-out cliche. It's not deep, not inspiring, just the same as every other fucking page you see on Facebook.
If you want to be deep, then use metaphors, like "Be a Froot Loop in a world of Cheerios," not this meaningless diarrhea.
Seriously, Anthony must have been extremely wasted to put this in the POTD queue.
Well, it's New Year's, so, probably haha.
He didn't make this go to HP. it says the users did. You guys brought this onto your well being.
Who the FUCK would homepage this shit?
Is it just me, or does the followup seem a little pretentious?
(Chauncy Pickles): Same here, I thought it was a little, "well who cares I'm right".
I thought the same thing.
How is it pretentious? All the OP said was that getting POTD was a great way to start the year and why she thought Anthony might have chosen it. Are you just looking for ways to criticize this post?@920082 (Chauncy Pickles):
Funny, because everytime OP has responded to anyone, the name of the person she is responding to is always at the end, just like this comment. But you couldn't be her because you are anonymous.
yeah okaaay just because sometimes i push reply at the end instead of the beginning that totally means im OP...great logic
To me at least, your followup seemed to focus on your accomplishment of achieving the Post of the Day. Then you started explaining why your post was chosen as if no one else is able to make that connection.
Of course that is why your post was chosen? Why else would it have been chosen for today? Anyone could make that observation.
or you can get drunk and then you will probably tell the truth and you might not remember it if it turns out bad
So the way to live life is by purposefully making mistakes? I'm all for trying everything once and experiencing life, but what's the point of purposefully fucking up if you already know the outcome? It's like a mathematician taking 3rd grade math all over again; fucking pointless.
I don't regret anything anymore due to my philosophies on mistakes which people have already stated... But really? I am a 14 year-old teenager and I would never be caught with that stupid ass quote on some FB status.
There is a difference between making mistakes and going all-out irrational with dating people wrong for you/saying "I love you."
I'm eating chips.
Are they Doritos?
They're doritos.
They better not be.
Uh oh........
Also, for those of you complimenting the OP as though she came up with this cheery rubbish:
http://sixtoedsloths.xanga.com/419777170/item/
Who still uses xanga? I had that for like two months when I was 13 years old, but then it got boring. I deactivated my account, I think.
@920768 (Chauncy Pickles): Not saying she stole it definitely from there, that was just an example of how old it was (2006). :/
Well.. no..... even though you took this from a facebook status and a few myspace quotes... no. This isn't even right anyways.. well a good half of it isn't right.
I'm gonna go ahead and add to the comments, this is so cliche. I hate cliche. We're slowly becoming more and more like MLIA :(
And GMH
I noticed you didn't say 'breathing' ..I dunno about you but I think thats a pretty imporant part of living life..
I like bondage
"♥♥♥♥♥♥ OMG guyz this totally made me chankje mi lyfe cuz its just so inspirational and i read this every day before goin to skol and kissin by boifish!!!111!!!!!!!♥♥♥ love laugh live peace empathy !!!"
Bullshit. Fuck you, hypothetical girl who I made up but is probably fairly accurate about the people who YYA'd this. Fuck you.
Oh, and, I'm last, fuckers. For now.

Sex.drugs.alcohol.<3

People can't start beginning to understand how much I hate this post.
I think what they mean by "date someone totally wrong for you" they mean date someone outside of your norm...
But I do agree with most of the commenters, this post is pretty full of shit.
how does this post have so many yya's and so much less NW's.... like.... read these comments :P
because only people who vote NW are commenting@920012 (strawberryjam):
ah i see...
I wonder how different the effect of this post would be if there was at least one swear word in it...
two chicks at the same time, man.
That's the way to do it! ;D
srsly?
I hate this post more and more every time I see it. Stupid teenage girl logic.
its to hard to do that. there just to many consequences in life. I f you lived like this it would suck. a lot.
OP: why do you feel the need to a) be so deep, and b) advertise to the rest of the world how you want to live your life?
i like food.
I have lost all of my faith in POTD. What you doin Anthony???
This is one of the stupidest posts I have seen in a long time.
This is by far the worst post I have seen ALL YEAR!
I think that people who favorited this post deserve to lose the game right now, amirite?
touche...
The game
Well, you said so no...
Ofc
You people are taking this way too seriously. What it boils down to is just to live your life and don't fret the small things. Obviously you shouldn't purposely make stupid mistakes or really go spend all your money, but take the occasional risk.
...Herpes lawyer.
You're fucking with the intended purpose of this (previously) unanticipated viral attourney. It's supposed to be the FIRST post on the POTD, not the 100 .
I want one.
I honestly do not see what good could possibly come out of dating someone whom you don't like at all (the "date someone totally wrong or you"). If someone is totally wrong for you, why would you want to date them? And spend all my cash? Uh, no thanks...I'd rather be smart.
Laster

Psych.
Like Omfg, totalllllly. You have to like experience everything and have like no regrets. :-)
Like, say like again and I'll like, uh, like do nothing on an empty threat because you're like, on the other side of the computer and I'm like, right here.
Haha Brett that made my day :D
This comment is win. Wish I could love comments from mobile.
Last.
Well aren't you original :)
im the 2010'th YYA!
Only on Amirite can things like THIS become an argument....I guess everyone likes a debate, no matter how useless it is.
Well, it doesn't take much guts to start an argument over the Internet with people you don't know.
Add in some other things and completely right! (;
All of those bitching about dating someone wrong and spending your money misinterpreted it.
please elaborate.
Thank you!
Gee thanks guys...I got it the first 100 times you said this is cliche, stupid, and teenage girl logic. No matter how much you fight it though, the score of the post speaks for itself. Just because I didn't think of this myself doesn't mean it's not true. I believe this, so I posted it. Now you can get back to your pointless bickering and waste your life. Bye :)
well the majority of people on this website are dumb teenage girls. so wouldn't that just mean that you're all sheep, clicking YYA just because.. well because you're all dumb teenage girls? so technically the score does not speak for itself, the score only shows how many dumb teenage girls are on this website. the rest are just the minority.
I've talked to someone random and we got to know each other and we're now a couple. :)
Are you fresh from MLIA?
I've talked to someone random, I slept with her and left her before she woke up....
Amen <3
How the fuck are you going to attack some 15 year old over her post? Obviously a large majority of people have read this before, no need to point it out for the millionth time. Spend all your cash is probably directed at teenagers regarding their birthday money or something, not adults who have fucking bills, etc. Yes I'm aware some teenagers pay bills, I doubt this means blow off all your financial responsibilities and most likely means that you can splurge and purchase that thing you really wanted. And date someone wrong for you means date someone who you wouldn't normally give a chance. Yeah, it's cliché. Does it make you feel better yelling at some girl about it? It's not her fault this was potd. Quit bitching.
The creator of this post started it. No one was attacking her directly, just complaining about how cliche it was. She started to comment back, starting an argument.
yes, it does make me feel better to bitch about it. and it's never a good idea to spend all your money.

This is the perfect New Year's post.

Oh yeah, I like where this is going!
Maybe if we dig deeper we'll find the gloves.
Nope. Just feels like more needles. That's the craziest thing.
i could have sworn i had gloves in here!
why haven't you called for help??
Lolofcourse
I love this so much that favoriting it doesn't feel like enough :)
Typical for the teenage girl with the haircut that so many other teenage girls have to 'rebel' and 'live life to the fullest' to agree to this.
aw you so sweet!
