through every single day :(

well, you sure got me scared for a second there..that
sounded well serious.

well the responsibilty and job thing was serious. the last
one was just a 'if you're going to get all manic depressive
and kill yourself b/c *i* said something (and im someone
monoid does not know), then you honestly have issues beyond
anyone's control'

honestly though, ive been through the suicidal shit before,
and it passes over time. you get over it. unless you have
serious bipolar problems or something. then get to a doctor
and find a solution.

i was in a pretty stressful mess when i was finishing up
university, worried i wasn't going to find a job, etc etc
and then went to the doc, got some meds and it helped me
short term just to get me back on track and now im doing
good. i work in order to pay off a mortgage so that i can
own my home. and then eventually travel. and buy 10
powerbooks maybe. these are the things that make me happy.

but yeah.. like i said.. monoid's gotta figure out a
solution. if he can't, he's gotta find a head shrink or
something to help him out. gotta get back on the wagon of
life and off the wagon of suicidal hopelessness.

read a book. :)

oh and on an unrelated but related note:
I GOT THREE FREE CHARLES BUKOWSKI NOVELS FROM A COWORKER'S
GF!!! ISNT THAT FUCKING A+!!!!!!

and on a more related note: here's some food for thought -
if you killed yourself, you'd never see autechre live in
concert ever again. that would totally fucking suck.

ah i see..so you were serious :)

well, i heavily disagree on that. i too think life sucks
either way you look at it..

"i work in order to pay off a mortgage so that i can own my
home. and then eventually travel. and buy 10 powerbooks
maybe."

that's all cool, but what do you really get out of it? well,
the travel part sounds good..one of 4 thngs worth living for
:)

anyway, i don't think monoid is serious about killing
himself :)

tolstoyed: i dont believe in it like 'OMG THAT IS THE REASON
I LIVE!!' i say it b/c that's what i am setting my goals for
right now. it's not the be all and end all. :)

honestly, id probably be most happy living on a mountain top
with my bf, and watching cloud formations and fog pass all
day. oh, and fast internet. seriously.

but ive learned to like some material things in life, and i
dont think there's anything necessarily wrong w/ that. at
the same time, i dont think that everyone else should
*prescriptively* agree with me. some people dont. some
people like other lifestyles. that's their choice - that's
the 'freedom' of life in a sense :)

but i dont think i should be accused of anything bad if i
choose this life and i feel content. or do you disagree?

"i dont think that everyone else should *prescriptively*
agree with me. some people dont. some people like other
lifestyles."

yet the undercurrent of most of your points in this thread
is a bizarre collection of some of the most overbearingly
judgemental, sweeping statements from a "i've seen it all
because i've been to college" type i've read in a long time.
guess what? you have finally got it, to an extent, with
this last statement - your cookie cutter version of the
world is completely wrong and badly formed.

i don't disagree, no..infact i strongly agree. if those
things make your life any better that is awesome! i too do
things and buy stuff that makes me happier. but that doesn't
make the fact that life sucks any less real. you will get a
bit more fun out of whatever time there's meant for you, but
we're all in the same shit in the end aren't we? but i
definitely agree on making your life as enjoyable as
possible!

Points: 1062 Status: Lurker



r40f: ah putting words into my msgs. that makes you an ASS
:)

what i said early in this thread was half tongue in cheek
and half a reality check. honestly, what do you expect to be
a 'proper response' to this thread? half the people in here
are just shit talking anyway, and if i do the same and add
some reality to it, i get accused of being the 'i've seen it
all because ive been to college' type? come on. did i say
that university actually helped my perception? far from it.
maybe you should read my posts more carefully.

all i said was that i was having a rough time and thought
shit would never get better but it did. and if you read my
POSTS CAREFULLY then you'd see that im not telling monoid to
'go look for a job and then get a mortgage and revel in
capitalism'. im saying 'find a way to fix your gloom and
move on and you'll eventually get out of the rut'.

that is all.

and i should add, if you try to attack me with the comments
i made about how he wont be able to get a house, gf, this
and that, it's looking deeper into the reality of the
situation - you dont have any money to support your ass, you
get even more depressed and shit gets many times worse.
doesn't mean you HAVE to live to buy a house or do this or
that. it means you gotta stay afloat somehow and legally -
uuuuuussssuuuuuuaallly that means finding a job or doing
something to help others in this world. capitalist or not.

true. because how do you eat? you grow your own food in your
garden? fine. where do you get the seeds? you buy them.
where do you live? in a house or apt? do you live there for
free? is someone paying for it? did you build it yourself?
if so, do you pay property tax on it? where do you get your
clothes? do you make them yourself? fine. where did you buy
the sewing machine? did you get it for free? where did you
get the fabric? did you grow cotton in your own field? ...
list goes on..

and i quote: "im saying 'find a way to fix your gloom and
move on and you'll eventually get out of the rut'. "

and im trying to see the association any of this conclusion
has to "i don't want to be an arse, but that sounded much
like
generalization to me :) "

What do you do for a living corrupted-girl ? How old are
you? You seem really sure about things. I like your attitude
about not wallowing in self-pity. It really is destructive.
I also like what you said about growing. Being forced into
things. So true.

I will say that what I've learned in my 30 years is there
are no guarantees. I don't see how an 18 or 21 year old
could really know what they want to do for a living or most
importantly what there job will be like to them after
working there for more than 6 months. Most things come at a
cost. Every job has a shitty edge. A couple things about it
you just hate having to do and if yours doesn't than god
bless you. You are one lucky mother-fucker. Not to mention
having to work with at least one asshole that gets on your
nerves, or living in fear of your boss, or wondering whether
you are doing a good enough job so you don't get fired.
Serious stress when you have a mortgage a couple kids, and a
car payment. Maybe you could freelance or run your own
business, but of course there are a host of other problems
there.
I don't see any silver bullet job for anyone. Unless you
are so sure about what you love and there is a perfect
market for it and you are really talented so you can tune
all the shitty elements of that job out. Then you have
really got it. Like my Uncle who loves cars and always has.
He would build the mofos in his room as a kid. Engine parts
everywhere. Now he's making custom cars for bill gates and
sienfeld http://www.canepa.com/ . He probably has shitty
things he hates doing or people he can't stand at work or
his boss might be a prick, but he loves his work so much the
benifit outways the cost. You have to know yourself and
what you're capable of. What environments you want to work
in, etc...
I just wish I was as tough as you and so sure of what I
wanted at your age. (I'm assuming you are in your early
20's)..I was mostly just a drunk and flipped burgers.

this is true - back when i was 18-19 i fucked around by
screwing up at school and doing lots of drugs and going to
raves. im 26 now and still learning, but trying to work hard
and have it pay off in my later years. yes, work can be
tiring, but if you are lucky and you manage to land a job
you can deal with even in high stress, then it's a good
deal.
