Big up y'self
 

Yes, as the thread title suggests - tell the world why you're awesome.

I'm not going first as it's patently apparent that I'm fucking amazing. However - too much self-deprecation round these parts. Let's have some short (non-copied from wikipedia) words on why you, personally, are awesome.

i don't need to explain myself to you cunts.

I am singular. Everyone else here is plural. Mr N, I've never heard you big up y'self, do so now. I know your people have the monopoly on self-deprecating humour, but now's the time to break that chain.

I don't need to explain myself to you cunts.

i've been told i have nice eyes.

No-one needs to explain themselves to anyone. Cunt or not. Thanks, Mr O'Conner, for the honesty. More of the same.

To Gumku and Mr N - not good enough. Neither of you are English, so you've nothing to fear. Let's have some balls out "I am great because..."

i don't buy vader playing bass... either lead singer or lead guitar shredder. now chewy on teh drums, that's an excellent choice.

I'm awesome because I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

But really I've been pretty positive lately. Particularly psyched about this essay I'm about to write, it's going to kick ontological ass.

pfft, Vader totally has a Gene Simmons edge

I can fry up a mean omelete.

I suggest a choir of ewoks. Leia should be playing bass in her Jaba slave outfit.

what ruins that pic is that vader is playing a steinberger bass. damn hipster in goth disguise!

i'm too smart to bi up me-self.

Haha, that's a joke right?

Because tomorrow I'm recording tracks for my 1st full-length cd...in my basement.

Oh, and I'm going to the post office.

I'm great because my post on this thread is hilarious:

" Self-importance is another thing that must be dropped, just like personal history. The world around us is very mysterious. It doesn't yield its secrets easily. Now we are concerned with losing self-importance. As long as you feel that you are the most important thing in the world you cannot really appreciate the world around you."

further, self-importance is the beginning of the process of death.

Oh come on! Have a sense of humour for fucks sake! And anyway if you have no self importance that is just lacking confidence/lacking self respect/being insecure/self hating and having no individuality. Having no self importance is doing nothing for yourself. How is self importance the beginning of the process of death? I thought you liked Buddhism? Buddhism's aim is to destroy the individual by extinguishing the desires, the opposite of self importance, now that is surely death.

How many people actually are so self important that they think they are the most important thing in the world? Not many I should think, only some mentally ill people.

Do you have a personal history or are you a blank slate with no personality? When you meet people you once knew, family members for example, do you greet them with no emotion and no recognition?

You don't site your source of the quote. Who are you quoting? Yourself?

while i applaud your anti-nihilist impulse, i really have no desire to sing my own praises in front of a bunch of anonymous strangers-- i find such behavior petty, needy, ridiculous, and undignified. i'm much better than that, and that's what makes me so fucking magnificent, among innumerable other things.

good night.

self-confidence is the balance between self-hatred and hubris

as Aristotle says, the virtue lies between the vices

the first leads to semantic death, the second leads to solipsism
