There is a new trend that seems to be the new "thing". It's pretty much a buzz
word on par with the snarky retort of "Really?!" or even the lamest thing ever
in "yolo". I'm talking about the term "life hack".
Why in the hell did the masses decide this was acceptable? For those lucky
enough to be living under a pop culture-less rock this whole thing is a dorky
way of saying "something to make life easier". Instead of just living life like
a non-douche and experiencing life to the fullest the "life hackers" are forcing
us to read and hear about the easiest way to fix a frayed shoe string or how to
get fresher fries from Wendys.
Maybe I'm too old school, but I think I'm the only one not being a dweeb in this
case. The best "life hack" is to figure things out on your own and learn from
your mistakes. It's mostly logic and ways to cheat the system to their own
benefit. I'm all for that. Screw the system!
There comes a point where you come off as the asshole kid who cuts in line and
brags about it. No one likes that little asshole kid. No one! There is no "life
hack" that will make you someone people enjoy being around.
While you're wasting your time "hacking life" you're missing out on life. Then
again do "life hackers" have lives to begin with? hmmm.
