Hey, we've missed ya!
Sorry about that... I took off a little while.
I've been traveling for the last few months and kind of just carrying on and enjoying my life.
You know, right now we're back in school
so now back life's kind of sucks again. And givin' me some more topics to think about.
So if you're catching me on Facebook under the Word of Pow. Thank you for...
doing that folks. It's an open page welcome yourselves, and we'll approve you. We always try to keep it positive and have some fun.
And folks, if this is your first time joining me. WELCOME! I'm Matt Pow. This is the Word of Pow!
What we talk about in here is kind of stuff that really comes to my mind. Whether it pisses me off
Or if it's something, I just really think we just need to talk about wisdom wise.
Talking about respect or pride within yourself or giving respect to others.
Or if we talk about how one of our first videos was with
the idea of the epidemic of Pumpkin Spice and how it's taking over America, and it's creating a new level of basic white girls.
And so, that's no good...that's no good. And it was talking about how to ah..get rid of that.
Now, I mentioned I took some time off.
I didn't mean to take time off guys...I just...
kind of just happened! You know, I was traveling a lot.
I got to go through the entire east coast. I went from my area of the world to Tennessee...
up to Virginia. Also in Virginia... all the way to Philadelphia, 'bout the city of brotherly love.
I tell ya.. I didn't have any problems there, so I thought it was pretty cool. And I got to see Tun Tavern!
If you are a United States Marine you know exactly where I'm talking about. I've been there boys, if you haven't, look it up.
Now...
This topic is goin' to be a little more of a serious topic it's not gonna be something kinda too funny.
But it does make me... I thought about it the other day, now ...we're gonna bring it together today.
Now, it's talking about...
how life is just...
Life can be just really simple and just really good. It doesn't require a college education
and it doesn't require...
having tons of money or anything of this nature.
And it came to me the other day because I was driving in the truck
going down the road, and I was going to college and I was pissed that my coffee was too, too hot to drink,
my air conditioner wasn't blowing hard enough...
...and that had to be in class... started like noon
So it messed up the middle of my day
Okay, now...
Shortly after I said I had these thoughts, I kind of looked at myself and I went...
But I have coffee, you know what I'm saying...
I have air-conditioning...
but class starts... but only class is like an hour. So it's not really that big of a deal.
So...I...
that tells me, that everything else is going so great that I have
found a reason to b*tch about something.That's the wrong mindset. You know what I mean?
'Cause at the end of the day like I said, I got to go to college in a safe area
and I served in the military so I get to go on the GI Bill, which is awesome.
I have coffee in hand. I'm able to put money together so I can go get coffee. Ya know...
I have air conditioning in a working vehicle
That's pretty sweet and a lot of us a lot of times really catch up on the little stuff.
That's what pi'...and we sa'..we...that's what pisses us off. You know what I mean?
Waiting a line for at the grocery store, but you can go get groceries. See, this is what I call, "First World Problems."
We're living in a society with people that are dealin' with f**kin "First World Problems." Alright...
and we don't appreciate what we can do.
When we have the opportunities to do.
As other people in this world, actually in this country, are not able to do these things.
And some of them United States military and from their sacrifice we can do this. We hear...
Ya know... a lot people talk about that. We hear about that, and there are some people who just....
they...
weren't given kind of the same opportunities, and so they think they're stuck here, and they can't break through that.
Ya know what I mean?
Ugh..
We'll talk about that...actually we'll get on that for another day
but we're gonna talk about today is since you have these "First World Problems"
and you can nitpick these little problems...
let's look at the other side of it. As you have these things!
Okay, you're able to do this kind of stuff.
Some others can't.
You really...like if you're really doing that you should REALLY look at yourself.
You know, and get rid of that negative
feeling that... that negative sight... on life.
and how you're doing stuff. Like I got pissed the other day 'cause my sunglasses were so dark
I couldn't look at my phone.
just...
Put sunglasses up here. Show your phone for a second. It's okay. It's gonna be okay. Ya know what I mean?
I think we all just kinda need to... kinda tell each other that like... It's Alright!
You know, the sky is not falling.
That's where I'm getting with it.
And what have I done in the meantime? After I've found those things...
I'm going to tell ya
I've gone to Jujitsu more... as where I could so I've worked out more
I've exercised more and I appreciate the opportunity to be able to exercise!
'Cause this time last year, I couldn't. I was in physical therapy and I couldn't do that. So being able to do that...
I've gathered more friends and just been around people
who are like-minded as me.
You know..
I didn't worry about what we were going to do or how we're going to do it or anything
so we just got together. Ya know...
Stuff like that.
Uhh...
Had a good makeout session with a girlfriend. You know what I mean, sometimes you just need that.
You need a good hard serious makeout session. Ya know what I mean?
You don't need to go all the way. You don't do all that crazy stuff. That's a lot of energy.
Okay, you don't need those things.
Just good hard makeout session. It's good from ages 14 to death. Okay!
Cold beer! Cold beer, I've had more cold beer.
You know, I didn't worry about where the beer was coming from....I had...I think the other day I had Miller Lite.
I ain't trying...to tryin' name drop, but that's not my first choice.
I enjoyed that hell out of it. Why? Because COLD BEER!
Okay, and that's where we need to get back to in this world.
That's what I firmly believe. If somebody gives you a beer, don't b*tch about that it's not a Microbrew, okay?
Just crack it open and have a good time and share some stories with that person. Alright...or even meals...
You don't have to worry about that it's not organic and it...Non-GMO, and all this crazy sh*t.
Be grateful that you have food
and since you have some share it with the person next to you.
Make a little bit for your neighbor, you know what I mean?
and that's where I've tried to get back to my mindset to
if...and if you're having these problems to where
You're having these "First World Problems"
Go look around and look at somebody else who doesn't have as much as you.
Like the guy walking the street to go to his job.
Okay...
That's...man...that's...grant it's still "First World Problem" because he can walk, hopefully he can walk in peace
and nobody's gonna try to rob him on the side of the street.
He doesn't have a car! You have a car. Ya know what I mean?
If you really don't trust him...you know...and you have a pickup truck
just put him in the back of the pick up truck and drive him to his work.
Instead of putting him in your cab, you know!
There's ways that you can change your mindset
with stuff and that's why I recommend you do it.
I think you'll feel a WHOLE lot happier! And as soon as you RECOGNIZE that you have "First World Problems,"
and you're being very negative about things...then you can change it.
Lot of time...sometimes you can't change your environment.
Sometimes the place you live is just goin' to be the place you live for a little bit because you can't afford anything else.
You know, the person next to you...you're not really that...
into anymore.
You know...
But you know the time is coming
Or...No..No..No..here's even better situation than..
than the person next to you. You may have seen something a little bit hotter,
Okay..
but how's this person treat you?
You know..
What do...what can you do together?
You know..
Sure, that person may look a lot hotter but have ya talk to 'em?
That's always been my biggest thing
I've always wanted to go to those traditional college and hang out and speak to 'em.
ya know...and be around...
college
kids.
Ya know, and do the frat parties and do that stuff.
Ya know, that you see...ya know that you hear of.
You know when people get older like...oh man...this college...this part's so hard. I did all this 'nd all that
and I've been around traditional colleges, you know what I mean, and they were...the young women there
I hate to say it they're really just kinda makin' my head hurt. You know...I'm NOT saying you're DUMB!
I'm just saying you're different from me and I can have a hard time having a CONVERSATION with you.
So...
That's it! We kind of bounced around doing some stuff today, but I hope you had some fun with this.
I am... I am drinking a good coffee
I'm going to do a little more study, then I'm gonna go gather with some friends and drink some good beer.
What kind of beer? I don't know. Cold beer. Okay? And that's how we're gonna to do it today.
Thank you folks. Thanks for watching we're gonna do another video soon.
If you have any ideas about what you want to hear me rant about..
Ya know...
Shoot at us, shoot it to us on Facebook or you can shoot it to us on our YouTube channel...
and we're happy to have you. As in WE, I mean ME, and the dog that I have over here.
That's out of...out of the picture.
But...
Yep, that's it! Okay...Brain's dead!
Alright cool! I guess I'm going to go back to studying now. Hey! Thank you again!
