Reality
If people never question what they see, hear, or read, everything seems more exciting, colorful, or like a bigger deal than it actually is in reality, whether it's a movie, the news, or a book. A movie, show, book, or song that was really closely based on reality would bore most people within minutes, and that wouldn't be as profitable as making something or someone that isn't really too interesting sound interesting, exciting, and colorful.

Roles
Movies often stretch the truth about something quite a bit to make it more entertaining than it actually is, since something closer to reality might bore an audience in 5 minutes. People are not really too interesting most of their lives, except just after they are born and just before they die, and roles/characters in movies lead people to believe otherwise a lot of the time.
Some people would think Lowell was like Southie by watching a movie. It's got it's parts that some would unkindly describe as run down areas, and it might be blue collar, and there are problems everywhere, but calling it the inner city is a stretch. Some of the roles people show people are not the exact reality of what something, somewhere, or someone is really like, they can be misleading.
Roles by The Original Agahnim September 11, 2021
Role
Once you get past places like Newark to places like Winnetka or Winter Park, describing yourself as a street kid, even if you're an actor in a TV show or movie portraying a character that isn't you, is starting to sound silly. These are not places guys like Tupac grew up, so it makes the authenticity of a character or role questionable. Actors do portray people other than themselves for a living, but their most memorable roles tend to be the ones closest to who they really are at heart, otherwise the authenticity and sincerity of the character is off if it's there at all.
Playing a role or character that isn't anything like you isn't relatable to anybody, and it doesn't do anybody any good. It keeps people from seeing what kind of character this person would really be if they were authentic, which traps a person's head rather than freeing up space to think, no matter how liberating or authentic the person claims to be.

Chicken of the sea
Something Tom Brady always beats the people that doubt him or question him at, since they always swim back to shore first.
Something was different about that night, every time Tom Brady tried to pull away I stayed with him, then the impossible happened, he said we're too far from the shore, so I told him I didn't save anything for the trip back. He had no excuse to fail, so he started to swim back to shore and on the way he started sinking, so I took him back to the shore. It was the one time Tom Brady was not as strong as he thought, and I was not as weak as I thought. I somehow pulled the guy down to mine and everybody else's level that night. He became chicken of the sea that night.

Change
There are 2 kinds of people, the ones that demand change the way they want it when they want it, and the ones that think most changes are not natural, and that the people trying to make them don't really have everyone's best interest in mind, that they really have their own (financial) interest in mind.
Things are going to keep going without change as much as they would with change. If things aren't good enough for you the way they are, without having to change, why are you here? They're still not going to be good enough if they change a thousand times more.

Garden hose
The guy and his brother in law were laying in the grass like two rotten pieces of Swiss cheese after their argument over the garden hose and the shooting that followed. It turned out they were both right about each other, and tomorrow didn't need either one of them any more than today did.

Narcissistic
Thinking that everything you do is making history or that tommorrow needs you and your agenda of change/transformation.
That dork on the National Geographic channel show thought her life was far more interesting and colorful than it actually was. Most people aren't narcissistic enough to get on TV and talk at length about their life story, especially not a false life story.
