so i’ve been thinking a lot lately about something.

it was 17 years ago or so, at a family gathering. i was mentioning some goals or aspirations for life or the future. my dad didn’t give advice of like “let’s work together or make this plan work” or “let’s think about this carefully to see how hard it would be” or anything

it was simply

“that’ll never happen and you can’t do that” and then proceeded to comment on my weight. great parent.

i will note: this wasn’t like “i want in to an elite school” or “i want to be an astronaut” type goals

the goal? renting/owning commercial property in a region of the US with cheap commercial real-estate.

what a dick
