People give me this crap all the time. Dude, you have a napoleon complex. Or, hey, Napoleon, you suck. Why does that suck? I don't get it. What's the big deal with having a "napoleon complex?"
For starters. wasn't Napoleon a respected general? I understand he was French, ok, that might be a bit of a strike against him for some people, not me, personally I love french fries, french toast, french bread, these things are fantastic. French food is OK.
He wears some outlandish clothes. I shop at Banana Republic, so I am not exactly wearing white pants and navy blazers. I have seen some guys walking out of that place dressed in an ensemble looking something like what old Napoleon is wearing up there. I don't here anyone yelling at them about some damn Napoleon complex.
This image to the right gets Napoleon the most trouble out of all. The infamous "invade Russia in the middle of winter" tactic. Not exactly the slam dunk of military maneuvers. For some weird reason, only Russians can operate in this cold. I don't know why, and I can't even begin to speculate the reasons, I really have no clue. You would think Eskimos or even Penguins could put the smack down on the Russians in this scenario, but no dice for either. The Russians just can't be beat.
Where does the complex come from? Is it that Napoleon was a little guy, and acted a certain way? Was he like a little pit bull, a fighter that demanded respect? That must be what you all mean when you say, "hey, Napoleon, go put on your silly little hat!" But that doesn't make much sense. The way you all say it makes it sound like Napoleon was a straight up b*tch.
Look, I'm a tough guy because I need to be. If I wasn't, I'd get my ass kicked all the time. People would pick me up and toss me into things just for fun. Great fun for all, but not so much fun for me.
I have goals. I have great plans in the near future. One of those is to get a girlfriend. Then it won't matter even if I dress like Napoleon and start invading things, who cares.
Another goal of mine is to win the lotto. Still working on that one.
