Life is fucking amazing...

[Krilons Resa]

....yet so fucked up.

 

[EricT]

Fucked up enough at this point in my life, I've decided that drinking and smoking till I pass out, every night, is a reasonable option.

Escaping reality via substance. How wonderful it is.

 

[J.]

that's weak, man.

whenever i feel stuck, depressed, or in a rut, I ask myself one question for motivation:

Has anything I've done lately made my life better?

Try it.

 

[Krilons Resa]

well, yeah.....our life is but a blip on the screen of eternity...so enjoy it while it lasts right?

just saying...cuz you never know if this is all you have got.

I saw something today about about the Virgin Airlines dude, Richard whatshisface. Anyway he was saying how he does all this crazy shit because he only lives once, might as well make the best of it.
I thought, "easy for you to say, rich bastard" and trudged off to my middle-class job

 

[lurch70]

like Jack Nicholson asked ... "What if this is as good as it gets?"

 

[Reign in Acai]

Life's been kinda tough recently, without getting in to specifics. You just got to nut up and roll with the punches.

Booze, definitely not the answer.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

This is the best it will ever be.
Think of the things that will never be.

appreciate the smaller/simpler things in life. Getting off of work and enjoying a glass of beer/wine and a book. Or spending time with a significant other (assuming you enjoy the relationship).

Rolling with the punches is the best way to go and use each punch as a motivating force in your life.

I'm too poor to afford to leave the country, so the woman and I got a room for 2 nights down in San Diego (around the corner of Stone Brewery). So we'll spend some time on the beach and checking out Stone, Alesmith, and Port/Lost Abbey Breweries. Simple & cheap enough, but it'll be damn fun.

Just ask my mother

Ill do more than ASK your mother.

Whenever I hit a rut and start feeling sorry for myself, I try to think of how good I actually have it. I mean, who the fuck am I to complain about quality of life when, across the street from my office, is a medical facility that treats mentally retarded children.

I also try to ask myself if I had any control over what happened if it is a specific event that got me down. There is no point getting upset over things you can't control. Concentrate on what you can and work on being happy. It sounds ghey, but it works.

I don't think I've ever seen an unhappy retard. At least, I don't think I've ever seen one unhappy for more than about 2 minutes.

There has to be things that suck, in order for those to exist that are cool.
