A perfect example of another guy who loved to use that saying is a guy who randomly decided to respond to my requests in a very unorthodox manner. His name was Paul, and he requested me as a friend on Facebook. Instead of allowing some time for me to get to know him as a good friend, and checking out some samples of his work, he decides to put together a somewhat unecessary dinner, where we have tacos and he gets a cake made for me even though it's not my birthday yet. He states that he was from Baton Rouge Rocks, a place and community that I was trying to leave behind since it became a dud around late 2008.
Since he wouldn't take "no" for an answer, I agree to meet his friends and go to this get together. After I eat, and play a little Mario Kart, I finally get a chance to audition everybody including Paul, and I am not impressed with any of his skills. The next day, he still wants me to stay friends with him, but I later learn that he had a very alcoholic father, and that a few other missunderstandings occured that night. One of his friends missunderstood a remark I made, and instead of coming to me about it, he complained to Paul. He misheard "that's great" as "that's fate".
Whenever I would talk to him over the phone, he feel the need to correct me about certain things, for example, I told him why I wanted to go to college. I stated "so I could make some friends", then he says that "you don't go to college to make friends, you go to college to become popular". Throughout this, I'm thinking, no you don't. "Being popular" is fleeting. Then he starts spitting out the Albert Eistein quote.
Whenever I would try to message him online on Facebook, and ask him when the best time I could reach him would be, he says that's personal and none of your business. One day in 2012, I finally tell him to focus on his band, and to forget about me.
Ever since then, I haven't made any decent progress. This includes learning about some new places where I can start searching. Lately everytime I ask about such things, it reaches people who are total jerks.
