how do you feel?

[george]

how do you feel?

about life, the universe, and everything?

there are a few books that i read every few years, mostly cause i own them, or because i like them, or it makes me feel smart to say "im reading Crime and Punishment by dostoyevsky"

well, through a lot of random chance a omnibus copy of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy came back into my possesion (a highly improbable event, i thought it was burned when my exwifes, no kidding here, trailer burned down). to suddenly get it back after a few really hard years of my life made me really, really, really, really happy.

i read the whole thing through in less than a week, and i ended up sould searching. you see, my whole life plan was to have fun, adventure, and really wild things. i have had some of this in spades. i have also had hurt, sorrow, and boredom on epic levels.

to be blunt, i am not particularly happy with myself or my life, but at this point have absolutely no idea how to change things.

so anyhoo,

how do you feel about your life, do you have any kind of philosophy that you live by, and what are your hopes for the future?

[Tadao]

I'm living it up right now. I'm sure that won't last.

I'm not happy, but anything could change that. I'd be stupid if I didn't think that I still have plenty of time to be miserable later and just be happy today.

But something I want, the only thing I want, is out of my reach for the time being and the only thing I can do is wait for the opportunity to open up in about eight months.

[george]

that is sort of the spot i am in too FZ. i just have to try and stay chipper for a little longer.

and i cant afford ITT :( goddamn ivy league schools.

[Shrubfest]

I am so used to being a fuckup, I don't belive things can go right anymore, and if it seems that way, it must be because I've fucked up somewhere else.

Worse, I have started taking pride in this attitude.

It's the absolute worst when there's no end in sight. Until the beginning of this year, I was just wandering through things without any real goal or end. I might've been one of those people who never left town. Though, your situation's surely different.

People just need to find something.

I'd say sell your house and become a drifter. It's the ultimate in freedom and you can go wherever you want because there's no home to go back to.

[Zhukov]

I've been happy before. I used to be an optimist, but now I think that I can't even be bothered to be either optimistic or pessimistic.

As far as life goes? Well, I feel bad for it.

[Evil Robot]

This is directed to all of you: WAAAH WAAAAAH WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[Fathom Zero]

I think you're projecting your sadness onto us, Mr. Robot. I'm perfectly content at the moment.

[The Leader]

Everyone dies alone.

:)

[george]

your evil roboticism hurt my feelings.

[Evil Robot]

WAAAH WAAAAAH WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[executioneer]

i feel pretty

[Chojin]

I've had a lot of things that mattered to me stripped away, and all of my real-life friends have become more distant or vanished entirely. It's given me a lot of time for self-reflection, and I decided that the best thing I can do is invest in myself because that's something no one can take away from me.

So I started to diet and lift weights, and I think it's taught me a lot about myself. In the span of a few months, I feel like a completely different person - it feels like I did ten years of growing up in 4 months. All of my tastes are different, my work ethic is better, and life at its core is better; but I still feel like I could be doing a lot more and the loneliness is beginning to really sink its hooks into me.

[Fathom Zero]

I'm working out, too. For almost the same reason.

[george]

i have been working out too :)

we should start some sort of i-mockery fitness thread in the sports area. give encouragement, complain, etc.

and chojin, i promise we will be entertaining each other in the very near future. ;)

[Dimnos]

I need to go on a diet. I have started to get a little pudgy. :(

[captain516]

I've been keeping in shape by running a lap around my block every day, but I'm gonna start working out too.

[Tadao]

I'm eating pie!

[Dimnos]

Just got back from eating some enchiladas. I think Im firmly setting the blame for current weight on the Mexicans and their awesome food. :(

[Evil Robot]

NONE OF YOU HAVE GIRLFREINDS THATS YOUR PROBLEM STUPIDS.

[george]

thats cause we're fat an jobless.

[stevetothepast]

If your fat, jobless, don't have a woman, and are depressed then I have an answer for you. It's called substance abuse.

[Evil Robot]

They should just rename this the"excuses, please pity me I have found a way to benefit from pity" thread.

[Dimnos]

I got a woman then I got married then I got pudgy because I am now able. Its not what its cracked up to be. Being pudgy that is. :\

[Chojin]

hey now, at least i'm a full time student

there is also this girl that would be my ONE AND ONLY in a heartbeat, but i kinda don't respect or like her at all, so I only had sex with her twice.

[george]

evil robot i have begun to believe that this thread makes you angry.

the original intention of this thread was to see where people stood with their lives/personal philosophies/decisions.

i think maybe you have some sort of emotional problem that makes you think you have to act all tough and leaves you unable to open up and share your feelings about life with the rest of us.

i pity you :(

[Evil Robot]

If I went around sharing my "feelings" and holding the opinions of others in regard, well then, I wouldn't be Evil Robot would I?

[george]

it is ok to be a coward and hide it with evil.

[Tadao]

In order for a robot to be evil, the robot would have to have feelings.

[Evil Robot]

it is ok to be a coward and hide it with evil.
Well then whats the fucking problem? For your information, I thought about posting n this thread but decided that I would come across as pompus since your problems seem to be so much greater. I am neither fat, lonely, or unemployed. I have not drifted far from my freinds in over 10 years (except for the one that got in trouble for making pipe bombs and selling stolen meds).

EVIL ROBOT RULES

[george]

oh robot :(

i cannot bait you into a fight, even for fun.

[Evil Robot]

I know when to fight and with whom. We are both juggernauts of internet debate, would China invade the US for fun? Of course not it would be a bloodbath that would vanquish both nations.

[george]

and that is why i love you :love

[Darryl]

I've been lifting weights, too, with some specific strength goals.

[Chojin]

maybe it's a global phase

like when everyone broke up this summer

[Tadao]

MAN UP

[Fathom Zero]

maybe it's a global phase

like when everyone broke up this summer

I didn't. :)

[Chojin]

I didn't. :)

[Fathom Zero]

[neilkevins]

Hi Bone Daddy,

We have to save nature and try to take care of it.
For that we can try many ways also. like grows up trees ,stop pollution.
Thanks Have A Nice Day.

[Chojin]

[executioneer]

I FEEL LIKE A REAL JERK TODAY

[Shrubfest]

What didja do?

[executioneer]

i stayed up all night when i shouldve gone to bed, now how am i gonna help with thanksgiving dinner today/tomorrow

[Zhukov]

Is thanksgiving on the 25th or the 26th?

[Tadao]

It's on a Thursday, that's the 26th this year.

[sspadowsky]

I feel good. I have a job that I love, and I'm working almost all the time right now. I'm knocking out the bills (and the ladies, yo), and picking up the guitar a little more. Not working out as much as I would like to, but still getting to the gym at least a couple times a week. I am spending most of my free time alone, and bloody well glad of it.

[george]

i have been too happy recently. i met a really great girl, business is picking up at my restaurant, and i picked up a second job at five guys with an opportunity to become a GM at a new store in this region!!!!!

you have to love clean living.

[Fathom Zero]

I LOVE FIVE GUYS. I can only imagine what working there feels like. :starryeyeddreamsoffrycookery

[executioneer]

I LOVE FIVE GUYS

you may wish to clarify this statement to folks who don't know what five guys is

ALSO, I LOVE DICK'S

I ATE THEM ALL THE TIME IN FAIRFAX

[Tadao]

That looks so fucking good.

[Dr. Boogie]

I'm doing alright at the moment. I've been out of work for a pretty long time now, but it's not so bad. I've got no debt, a bunch of friends relatively close by, and I'm feeling a lot less rage than I did when I was still at my last job. Of course, that last part is pretty much the same for everyone who left that company.

I do still wonder what I'm going to wind up doing for a career. Writing is where I have the most experience, but there aren't many opportunities opening up in this crappy economy, so I've been wondering about a career change. To what, I have no idea.

[Ant10708]

Everyone dies alone.

:)
Unless you die with someone else there

[The Leader]

That's why there are school shootings. :(

[Ant10708]

lol. School shootings, keeping kids and their cliques together even in death

[Fathom Zero]

Is there anyone else that constantly has escape plans running through their head about any given situation, depending on where you're at?

For example, the gunman scenario. What would you use to smash over him when he breaks down the door?

[essaywriter101]

I feel beautiful..(joke)

Life is like a roller coaster for me..:-)

[The Leader]

I hate you so much.

[Dr. Boogie]

I can't believe he squeezed in a second post just before I banned him.

[Tadao]

:lol that was there all day Boogie
