i've met people who consider their high school days (14 to 18 years old) "the best years of my life" and i always laughed at their sad and pathetic existence. same thing goes for anyone who married their high school sweetheart. [/dick]

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Anyway, when someone says "hey, this was the best year of my life", doesn't that imply that his present life is sucky?

I've never had anything coming close to an achievement or a feeling of utter fulfillment, so I expect the best is still ahead.

Not at all.

I love life/live it to the fullest every single year I walk this planet; it's just that for a stretch, things were 100% perfect.

Happy Birthday MTV Icon !!!

later half of 20's were confusing ...
30's are much more fun as i seem to know what I want and how to get to it ... somewhat

 

[Ellestin]

No

Like Panzerfaust doesn't suck just because Transilvanian Hunger is the best

erm... Well, of course, I acknowledge the relevance of your connections

 

[dorian gray]

[Conspicuously Absent]

you guys are really bringing me down. am i the only one who is having a good day? im about to have a baby, my mom has two kinds of cancer, im listening to death metal.....and im still pretty cheery.

Never said I wasn't cheery. I'm just not happy inside. Outside i'm a happy hilarious mother fucker.

 

[NAD]

my mom has two kinds of cancer

jesus dude, harsh.

i'm having a great day! woke up late, ate oatmeal, wasted time on da internet, read Pale Fire, and now i'm off to take my mom and grammaw to the Dollar Tree while making them listen to Dillinger Escape Plan. plus i'm wearing my Frank Zappa shirt, that adds 10 bonus points automatically.

 

[dorian gray]

no, she really does have cancer. my point is that im still cheery for some reason. i havent done any drugs either. i dont know why im not more depressed. i mean, talk about stress - i REALLY dont want a child - but here his ass comes.

 

[E-bortion]

Happy birthday and shit mang

you sound dangerous.

hahahahahaha funniest thing i've heard all day.

 

[dorian gray]

haha, good for you. but i mean, seriously. what am i supposed to do?

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

you sound dangerous.

hardly. I'm merely focused, I have the ability to do something about 4 or 5 of the big things that make my life suck so much. The rest will change as I get the fuck out of the shithole town i grew up in and get a real job and life progresses.

Some(not all) of the ones that I can't do much about:
1. Grandfather's new wife is trying to break up the family stir up shit
2. Aunt creates more problems with said new wife than neccesary, and i'm stuck in the middle.
3. College life is hell. No sleep, very little time for fun, no friends around, etc.

These things are temporary situations at best. All of them will cease to bother me when I'm finished school.

 

[Ellestin]

what am i supposed to do?

Make him/her discover Maiden early on.

 

[dorian gray]

temporary indeed. your family will continue to irritate you to the bitter end but you wont believe how much freedom youre about to have - provided you finish school.
and, yeah, college is pretty depressing. get used to it and just finish and get the fuck out.

 

[dorian gray]

Make him/her discover Maiden early on.

ok. thanks. but im more concerned about the constant shitting, eating and crying and total responsibility for the REST OF MY LIFE. oh well, if only i wouldve used some type of contraception. let me be an example for you guys.
but like i said, im still pretty cheery.

Correct on the college part.

Incorrect on the family part. The grandfather won't be around much longer, i get along with my 2 cousins and I won't have to have much to do with my aunt once I'm employed and far away. My parents and I get along very well. They may piss me off sometimes, but its usually cause they're right and I was doing something retarded. And its always a passing thing.

You're going to have to like it. Unfortunately it's not really a socially accepted practice to spike their ankles together and then leave them out in the care of mother nature anymore.

 

[Ellestin]

ok. thanks. but im more concerned about the constant shitting, eating and crying and total responsibility for the REST OF MY LIFE.

Of course. I don't know, I hate to think of having children as a way to fit society standards but I sometimes wish I would be having children if only to enforce me with some sort of responsibility I'm not even able to apply to my own life. You know, like a good kick in the ass, like "dude, you're wasting your saturday at home, how about going out buy some diapers and then play with the kid and then build some furniture for his bedroom and feel like having a life".

And, to be completely honest with you, the shitting shouldn't last more than a year and a half. If it does... oh, I guess it does then.
