My thoughts on life and you bulbous crotch

Nathan I think that a lot of your inner depression is magnified when you are on or coming off. Especially harsh off cycle?

You are a smart dude and still youuuuuung. Things will start to fall into place - they really will. So much of what you say on here reminds me of the thoughts and feelings that I had in my younger years. No matter how many friends you have or how much success you might experience you feel along and without. It is freaking desolate and you feel despair, but some of that is without a doubt enhanced GREATLY by your recreational habits - again I know MUCH about those feelings and self reflection.

Don't get high alone. This will help. Finding a woman who loves you (for me at least) is what made my life complete. And I'm not going to sell you that 'Everything is Perfect now that I have the love of a woman' crap cause that ain't true. But life works now. Everything falls into a perspective that I can handle whether I like it or not and whether or not I’m happy at work or feel like I’m accomplishing anything really doesn’t matter to me. (Right now anyway)

What does matter is my attitude and how I approach everything. Work is a percentage of my time which finances the rest of my time. A simple trade. I work whether I’m happy or not just like the rest of the world and satisfaction would be nice but is not necessary.

I’m confident you’ll get away from your feelings over the last few years and then your life will work itself out.

I think you are concentrating on your limits and your past too much - being pessimistic in a way.

When was the last time you met a guy who wanted to live certain ideals or dreams, but couldn't? A guy who always thought he would stay in a preconceived and confortable state? His attititude limited what he could do.

Just choose exactly what you want, and take the necessary steps. Don't let your past investments trap you, but let them assist you in whatever way you really desire.

I'm not saying I have the answers, but we can compare the dismissal of human endeavors to the alternative. What do you want? At a basic level, you can dissolve social expectations and crystallize them into a puzzle you enjoy.

That feeling of satisfaction you feel after a job well done is complete and total bullshit. It somehow suckers you into thinking that the product of your hard work, however ephemeral, is a piece of you in some deranged way and that you should take comfort in that. Well, I'm here to tell you that there is no comfort to be had. There is no fucking meaning in life or anything else as near as I can tell and if I had to guess everything will NOT be alright.

If you directly profit from it, it is like building your sphere of influence into a machine that serves your physical, emotional and creative needs (or whatever other needs you have).

The whole concept of love is also gnawing at me these days. I've been holding onto the whole notion with wild abandon. I can't for the life of me shake the feeling that I'm completely and totally alone, always have been and always will be. And don't think you're any exception. It makes me nauseous thinking about it but there it is. You are born alone and you will die alone and all the people you meet along the way are nothing more than entertainment, no matter how much they want to believe otherwise.

I agree with this, I sometimes feel nauseous.

Thanks for the post. It was so deep, I was able to figure out how to get my toilet to stop running.

Jingle the handle, jingle the handle.....I'll have to write that down.

Green for the help!!

How should we go about passing the time and why should we even bother?

According to political science and then the obvious parallel of religion, this thought/idea is what enables people to be molded and shaped for a larger purpose.

Socrates taught Plato a concept not dissimilar to dualism, the plurality of consciousness in our lives. Plato then expanded on that towards the concept that we have the life we live, and then there is the life that we imagine as our ideal.
They are on two separate planes, the real and the imagined.

The two planes can never meet - the instant you move the real towards the imagined, the imagined changes and remains unreachable.
That unreachable distance technically changes due to perception, but it is essentially always unreachable, so whether it is a closer unreachable or one that is further away doesn't matter - much in the way that a number that is easy to comprehend such as 10 and a number that is much father down the number line such as 10^900 are still essentially the same number in comparison to the infinite.

Because of the fact that these planes can never meet, the best that the imagined can be is what has evolved into the notion of heaven.
The idea came up that if one was offered access to the intangible through deeds done in reality, then you have an infinite amount of power on your side.
The exploitation of that is what has driven the lives of the majority of humans ever since (and arguably prior as well, just not under the control of some other group and instead one's own thoughts).

So in the end, all one can do is make the decision if you are going to chase the intangible and unreachable in your own way, and on your own terms - or are you going to try under the pretenses of others (by definition are false pretenses).


Whoever the fuck thought The Matrix was a new idea is retarded - that idea has been around for as long as modern man has.

that is my take on it - people are retarded.

good post

Also, if someone could just tell me what to do with my life that would be super.

Go see a psychiatrist. Cease use of all recreational mind-alterants.

Seriously. I did it. I'm happier. Unfortuately the cessation of caffiene and alcohol didn't last long. But I don't want pot no more.

A large proportion of chronic users of the chronic are self-medicating for depression. Unfortunately pot is a very dirty drug. It has lots of side effects. The new SSRIs are like a freaking blowtorch to pot's atom bomb. They're fun.

You guys sure are fart smellers. Thanks to everyone. I guess my problem can be summarized in a metaphor (I wanted to do a haiku but I can't remember how many lines to make it and also I think haikus are Japanese or something and I fucking hate the Japs):

Life is in a way like mathematics, if one doesn't understand the basic rules and principles behind it, then how the fuck can one be expected to succeed on the tests?

I guess that's my problem. I KNOW no one knows what the hell is going on so that has led me to the conclusion that despite what everyone thinks, they aren't succesfull at all. Take Tom Cruise. Dude looks like he's on top, but then I remember that like everything else, he is ephemeral and his legacy will one day cease to exist. Hell, even if he somehow saved the world from destruction, it still wouldn't make any difference since it doesn't really matter if the world is here at all.
