 minus 150$ plus a better mindset

so i got ripped off $150 last night on bunk mushrooms (woo-fuckin-hoo)
as much as that stings my wallet, i feel like it was a wake-up call to
reality. You need money to survive, and everyone is tryin to take it.
i have to stop imagining starving children every time i hold a dollar bill, i
shouldnt be so careless with my well-being.
not revolving your life around money is one thing, but just throwing it out the
window and trying to tell yourself you don't need it, is another thing.
so in that sense, im going to really try and start taking school more
seriously. i am really lucky to have this opportunity and shouldn't be
throwing it away like i am... fuckin a' man... our generation is so god damn
privileged...
however i am NOT ever going to close my eyes to the injustices in the world,
and i dont think i will ever feel totally complete until and i contribute to
humanity somehow... either through art, or through protests.. i dunno....
ah anyways.. yea so as you can see im trying desperately to pull all the good i
can out of last night's unfortunate events.
oh yea that 150$ was just about the last of my student loan money until January
well anyone else have lame shit positively affect their lives at all?
it seems anything drastic can be an eye-opener

Sounds like that $150 would've been better spent on equipment and supplies for your dog to grow some shrooms for you. It's pretty easy (from what I've been told  )

Sounds like you're $150 poorer, but much richer experience-wise! 
Good Job! 
I've spent my whole life making mistakes and fucking up, but so long as you learn from the experience, and grow as a person, it's the best fucking way to earn an education!

Sorry you got ripped dude. Moral of the story: Trust very few people. You can count it as a loss, or you can find out where this person lives (if you don't already know), wait for them to come out of their house alone some night, and zap them in the neck with a tazer. Tell them they have a week to give you back or money, or more drastc measures will be taken, That's what I'd do, but it's up to you

THe person that ripped you for $150 on fake shrooms should have his fuckin head smashed with a baseball bat. I can't stand motherfuckers that are out their just tryin to take ppl for fools. You should seriously teach that fucker a lesson.

Your perception on the whole incident is very insightful.  You're a good person.
