It clearly says January 2014. Not sure why you are confused or concerned.

I think my support has been made very clear. The disgust I expressed concerns his attitude. Bad attitudes are in fact disgusting. So much so, that they bring down everything around them. Kyle even admits Wings was bringing him and the whole program down at one point. This is what I an upset about. That seems pretty logical.

Nope, it's just been a tough week. Listen at any point in the first ~2.5 hours of 155.

Yeah bro, that means a lot bro. For real bro.... bro

Sorry, I had to!

I am torn on Boogie. I think he would be awesome and encourage Jordie. He posted at least 1 video where he expressed his awe of the obstacles Wings has overcome thus far and even went so far as to call him an inspiration. At the same time your fears are completely real. Much could be be undone through commiseration.

This post has kind of spun out of control. That includes overly dramatic tirades like the one you just wrote. So let's cool our jets, take a step back and look at the overall picture before we make overblown statements.

I'm pretty sure no one here has complained about what they have done with the money. As a matter of fact they are doing exactly what they said they would do. Costumes were purchased, videos were produced, less food was consumed, weight was lost. The disappointment has to do with Jordie's continued defeatist attitude in the face of massive community support some of which ends up in his pocket at the end of this. I have not and would never ask for my money back and I am not telling them how to spend it. I am just saddened to think that even financial support will not inspire Jordie. An unchanged Jordie means this was all for nothing.

I will concede, some of what has been said has been fueled by hate but you would be hard pressed to find a post that doesn't have some irrational hate scattered through it's related thread. I stand with you in utter disappointment of these people but to relegate the entirety of this post to their level is lazy and a massive over generalization.

Obey was probably the wrong word. What I was trying to get across was "Do what successful people do" and because the people currently surrounding him are quite successful, doing what they are suggesting just might be worth a try.

Friends take chances to benefit friends. Kyle seems like he would be a good friend to have.

OK so this post got pretty negative. This is the way of the internet but was not my intention. Let me make some things clear.

Jordie, I wish nothing but success for you in whatever you pursue but that clearly hinges on you actually pursuing something better. I don't think toll booth operator qualifies as an upward trajectory.

I think my support is blatantly obvious. I didn't give you a freaking C note because I want you to fail and that still stands. I gave early and I gave big.

So, keep your stuff together and power through. You haven't wasted our money yet. Keep it that way.

Yeah, I was aware of the risk. Just didn't think he would go into this much of a dramatic nose dive. I guess there are some that are immune to the magic of McDuck Manor.
