if people were directionless they would develope reasons to destroy eachother. work keeps us sane and happy. i know this cos ive not had work for a long fucking time, and its shit. |
||||||||

|
|
it all depends on the money |
||||||||

no money no honey |

I was at Uni for 5 years. Pretty directionless, cos I didnt do a placement year. Just did the course so that i could get the free money and buy myself some time/freedom & not have to work. I can see already, as a working person, that they were the best and most special days of my life. And I didnt take them for granted. They went so quick, but i appreciated them fully. I had my friends living with me, a decent internet connection, with food, clothes and shelter over my lazy ass head. It was perfect, and i couldlive that until i die if only feasible. Still, i appreciate your point, and i guess there has to be a balance. Some peoples personality requires for them to be needed to work to contribute to society. I dont just join the dole and do the same shit out of a kind of pride installed in me, and the fact i have a fiancee to answer to. When you work, free time goes SOOOO quick. its disgusting, a waste of life. Hmmm. |

but the preciousness is returned shit we are human. if we didnt have work we'd make work for ourselves and not all of it would be good. at least this way we have a bad guy to hate and a cause to nurture |

yeah think about it, people work not out of desire to be like everyone else, but because in today's world you HAVE to work to survive, unless you're some kind of savant with society like that guy in 'catch me if you can'. i mean i respect people that work because it shows that they're taking the time out, their soul, their energy w/e you call it, and they're actually maintaining a life for themselves to witness beauty, or to raise a family, or to just be alive. People who are working just to work really are just ignorant to the fact that they are dispensable. |

Hmm. I am just working so i can earn some government credits in my account so that i can live an OK life. Is that admirable? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

admirable? saving a puppy from getting smashed by a truck is admirable. You working ive an OK life is just dandy. |
||||||||

lol whatever floats your yacht |
||||||||

|
|
Aaah good times.I read dandy but was more of a Beano fan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Absolutely, Beano was better. But Desperate Dan just about managed to carry 'Dandy' with his massive stubbled chin and pie-eating, gun-toting ways. |

"but because in today's world you HAVE to work to survive..." ppl keep saying this. work would have been INTENSE even 50 years ago. we are lucky to even have aircon yo!!! my moms dad (who shot his nose off trying to kill himself....lol) was forced to work in mines instead of enjoying the education he always wanted. anyway fuck the crustys weve got a brilliant standard of living! |

i didnt like any of them. before my time i guess. never been into comics at all. i guess i just spent my whole life in my head where everything was super perfect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was a 2000ad kid myself.I still read comics. They just tend to be a lot more graphic these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, trust me, i spent a LOT of time in my head too. Especially when i started touching my willy. LOTS of celebrity fucking from then on. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha 2000 AD aswell. 'Sinister Dexter' was so awesome. I tried to get back into it last year. I bought a few, but it just wasnt the same. |

you mucky duck |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
which comics? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hellboy,Abe Sapien,The B.P.R.D..and pretty much anything else that Dark Horse puts out.Other than that just Japanese graphic novels. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Why? Do you read comics? |

nice article, thanks for the link. |

Yeah, that's the thing that I dislike most aboout religion. It pre-conditions people to practice under that religion, so even if you don't want to, peer pressure and something inside you that you had no control over the development of, say you should. :/ I know what you mean about the neighbour- it is hard not to get dragged down by such people. My supervisor at work drags me down sometimes when he talks about stuff such as his prediction that the world will run out of resources in 30 years, lol. It sounds funny now, but him talking at me for so long wears down my resistance and I start to believe his bullshit. Yesterday he was talking to me about humans growing gills... I hope you realise your dream of starting a business. What kind of business do you want to start? It will be good to avoid tax, but you will have to keep meticulous records and business may be shaky- worrying about it could keep you up a lot of nights. Sorry to say things like this, but I just think you should be aware. Maybe have a fun, easy part time job and then have your own small business too. That way you could retain some job security, at least. But also have some degree of independance. Wow- that was pretty good, I could be a careers advisor! :) ANyway, I hope things turn out for the best for you my friend. |

Yeah. I have been nearing emptiness. First I felt crap, then I realised how silly I am being, and how no one cares. Then I almost felt nothing. Not nice. But I haven't felt completely empty just yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, when I feel like that I now I will feel better when I have got up and walked around and done stuff. It may help you to try this too! ^^ I think inactivity breeds depression (not that I am saying you're lazy ;)) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, just opening your curtains and window to let some sunlight and fresh air in makes me feel a lot better. :) |
||||||||
|

Looks extremely interesting-just what I was looking for, thank you! *hug* |

The alternative to work isn't just idleness. To be ludic is not to be quaaludic. As much as I treasure the pleasure of torpor, it's never more rewarding than when it punctuates other pleasures and pastimes. Nor am I promoting the managed time-disciplined safety-valve called "leisure"; far from it. Leisure is nonwork for the sake of work. Leisure is the time spent recovering from work and in the frenzied but hopeless attempt to forget about work. Many people return from vacation so beat that they look forward to returning to work so they can rest up. The main difference between work and leisure is that work at least you get paid for your alienation and enervation. Wow, even leisure is criticised! :O But I understand the context. Everything is work, or work impacts everything, even leisure time. |

Coowel! What kind of artist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Geist! How you doin', man? Are you looking forward to the new Ghibli movie, Ponyo? It looks good, though it is a shame that Ghibli is now owned by Disney, I feel... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:( It'll be alright bud. You're in the best place here if you're feeling depressed. At least people here will empathise and sympathise with what you're going through. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do agree, actually. I kinda like work, as long as the conditions are not as shit as they are here just atm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you work, Mr.Pulseclock? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. i am at work right now. at 5 am |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? Where do you work? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you can open a window and feel better then you are fine :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A little better, yeah. :) In a similar vein, I sometimes feel a bit bad for ever moaning about feeling unhappy, cos so many others on this board seem to have it far worse than myself... :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont worry. ppl really dont have the right to get cross with you for not being as miserable as them. jus smile you can do it :))) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, man i'm well looking forward to Ponyo! Its a shame that Miley Cyrus' little shit sister, and the youyngest fucking Jonas Brother are doing the main english dubs, but on the plus side, Ghibli isnt now owned by Disney, they just distribute Ghibli in the western world. In theory this should make Ghibli films cross over into the mainstream, but they're just too weird and wonderful; even 'Spirited Away' winning an oscar couldnt do it really. Yeah, I hope Ponyo is great. Looks insane in the trailer. More child-orientated definitely, but then so was a certain other Ghibli film... |

I had a bad morning shift. Everyone was being dicks and pointing out where I had not done my job properly, while they just stood around doing fuck all. But I won't do pan bash today, which is the crappiest job in the kitchen, so that's cool. :) Plus, I don't have all that much to complain about. Day off on Firday- yoohoo! ^^ YEah, I'm smiling, fella. :D How about you? How you feelin' today? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AH, right. I should get my facts right, hehe. I just saw the two names together and became unhappy. Cos they own Pixar, right? Another bad thing. Yeah, I guess you're right- Ghibli will neve be mainstream. Popular enough for them to continue to make movies, but non-mainstream enough to be known only by cool enough people I hope. ;) Yeah, I wasn't too happy about the dubbing. My friend prefers the dubbed versions. He liked the cat-king dubbed voice in The Cat Returns. It is very different to the Japanese one- sounds like a Jazz musician, which I am not sure if it fits... What do you think? Or do you never use the dubbed versions? Ponyo looks good. Pretty much every Ghibli movie is child orientated, isn't it? :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I guess all Ghibli movies are made predominantly for children. But i guess i just mean that 'Mononoke', 'Howl's' etc. all seem a little more mature, and maybe aimed at families, where as 'Totoro' and 'Ponyo' seem more simplified and easier to understand for younger children. I dont know, i'mprobably talkin shit. Who cares, they're all wonderful! :D About the dubs, i have seen a couple Ghibli's in both subtitled and english dub forms. They are slightly different translations at times, which puts a different spin on exactly the same visuals, which is fun. I would say i just about prefer english dub, cos they're generally pretty decent, and its better than having to read. Yeh, I think Disney actually own Pixar, but they seem to let them get on with their own thing. 'Wall-E' was awesome, and loking forward to 'Up' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I see what you mean. Mononoke is aimed at older people as well as kids. It is quite deep in parts. I still prefer Jap audio with Eng subtitles, but I do see what you mean- it is easier without subs. I thought that too- Pixar doesn't seem to be affected by being owned by Disney. Tell me what Ponyo is like if you see it afore me! ^^ |

thers nothing to look forward to and it's not worth living but that's the challenge, you can't let/help it beat you before your alloted time get a pet or some kids or get involved n charity to take the emphasis off you, because hardly anyone cares about individual "you"s apart from "you" |
