Absolutely positively cheer people on. Especially my friends. But I’m always happy to see anyone do well.
Sadly, that’s the worst part about living in this crappy little backward a$$ town. I’ve NEVER seen the amount of hatred and jealousy some people display when others do well. It makes me sick to see the envy. It’s just ugly. I just don’t get it??!!! WHY??!!
But the exception to my rule is a thief. Especially one that lies cheats and steals from the people they are supposed to serve. We have a mayor here that has robbed the city blind and these knuckleheads around here think he’s a god. They keep re-electing the crook (supposedly) I.e. he has a published income of 33K a year, yet he and his wife (city clerk) both drive G-Wagons. He didn’t come from money, he’s never owned a business, but his dad was the former mayor and apparently not a good guy that never did a lot for the city. Everytime he runs for office, his challengers always expose how he’s bilked the city for the last 10 years, for literally millions of dollars. He and his cronies are never held accountable and have been known to have police retaliate and/or harass anybody that calls him out. Total “Boss Hogg” situation. And just as laughable. So, yeah I would like to see him get his and not be successful because of his thievery, lies and underhanded deals. But he and people like him are definitely the exception to the rule for me.
Otherwise, I love when people do well and especially you guys. When you buy stuff that’s out of reach for me at the moment, I get excited for y’all and me too, I get to live vicariously through you. (Win! Win!) It also motivates me to save more and get better so I can kinda justify spending so much on a guitar.
So, go forth and win my brothers and sisters and I’ll be right here to pat you on the back! If you don’t win that’s cool too, I’ll still pat you on the back and encourage you the best I can.
