I just don't get it. I mean, honestly - especially with your Alexa rank comment - do you really think that observing that it doesn't directly benefit him financially is anything even approaching a response? Have you paid attention AT ALL? I apologize if I'm over-dramatizing here. Violentacres' post left a rather bitter taste. Generally directed at MDO:

However, if you continue to run in worn-down shoes, your joints will not allow you to run in 10 years. Hollywood is filled with plenty of Ivy Leaguers holding down three waitering jobs while taking their shot at the entertainment industry. Having three part time jobs certainly doesn't mean that you've accomplished anything. How much does that Alexa ranking outside the top 100k (or 50k, or 10k) pay again? Sorry to be such a dick, but hubris is annoying when there isn't anything there to back it up. At 20 you can do things to your body now, and not feel it, than you will be able to in 15 years.

Those are only good for breaking. ....but then again; resolutions are merely words. You've hit yet another gem that everyone knows, somewhere in their head, yet manages to forget all the same: "Don't talk the talk, but walk the walk." Thanks for what once again, functions for me as a motivational speech. --Shoes Oooh, I smell new year-resolutions.
