Dead Milkmen Free For All

[The Lamp Incident]

I was looking down at all the polls today and I realized something even more that was already pretty apparent: this place isn't fun anymore. Looking at those polls, I remember when this used to be a fun message board to post at. We actually all talked to each other. It seems like everything's drifting apart, people stand for different things, there's no anger, no tension, too many pornbots. Maybe it just has to do with this ugly new font/color scheme. But it's time to bring back some old times and shoot the shit.

Man, my life is going nowhere. You know those three things I was most sure about in life?

1) It would be better after high school
2) People who do drugs and alcohol are automatically stupid
3) All chicks are bitches

Wrong, wrong, and wrong. So maybe everything else I've ever said in my life is wrong. Everything I think right now is even wrong. I haven't heard any music that's flat out floored me lately, as far as new bands go anyway. I have gone from a real angry mofo to a whiny emo wimp. I sit in my basement and can't think five seconds ahead of me. I never figured I would get this far in life. The idea of going back to school seems better every day, but I just feel like I'd fail it again. That's another thing I'm wondering...why the hell did I think it was such a good idea to not do my schoolwork? Hell, maybe it would have at least kept me occupied during high school and I could have learned something, but now I sit here and I know nothing about anything, devoid of knowledge. The brain is like a faucet and someone shut mine off. The water doesn't run anymore. I don't know anything. Why even bother.

So, uh...how's your life?

it's never too late Lamp. I went back to school after a rather long haitus, it was
tough, really hard at times, but it's worth it.

This thread isn't for you to give me your stupid advice, it's to tell me how wonderful your life is.

Uh, I tried to score with a woman after a 6 year hiatus of sex only to find out I was impotent. I cant remember directions to places I've been to a million times. There are zits appearing in the weirdest of places on my body, including my dick. I have 4 cold sores in my mouth, all which are painful and throbing, and my gums are bleeding.

But just ask me how much I've saved by switching over to Geico?

How much did you save?

[doctor love]

I lied. I didn't switch over to Geico. I'm still paying $450 a month for auto insurance .

This is the first weekend that I didn't go into work at all, in a long time. I was sick and spent most of the time watching movies in bed or sleeping through movies in bed.

I recently got a promotion and started the new position the other week. It seems to be even easier than my last job, which was nothing, but I don't know.

I have come to the conclusion that I have 45 dvds still wrapped and unwatched, including 6 different tv series.

I haven't gone out with anyone since 2001, and the whole idea of approaching a female, admitting interest during the small talk thing, getting numbers and going out on a date or whatever, scares the shit out of me. I'm pretty sure that if I end up going out with someone, I will have to clean my apartment up, which is not something I'm looking forward to.

I have been roommate free for nearly two and a half years. I took the bigger room in my apartment, with the plan of not having much crap in it, but now I have 2 bedrooms and a living room that look like a tornado hit a thrift store, a best buy, a craft store and a takeout menu factory all at once and landed in one apartment. I'm also finding myself staying in my room to watch tv, and movies and now am debating about moving the surround sound to my room, with the sad but true belief that I won't need to entertain any guests in my living room.

The other day, I found a paystub from my last job that I was fired from 2 years ago, while finally cleaning out the boxes that I had to pack from my desk when I was fired. My two week pay from back then, was the same amount as I am earning in one week now. It was kinda cool knowing that I am doing so much better 2 years later, but I don't have anything to really show for it. Other than the piles of unwateched dvds.

I also found piles and piles of movie ticket stubs, and came to the conclusion that had I not gone to these movies and purchased so many dvds, I could probably own a house or land and a goat, or something.

The other day I got a call from the hospital that my Dad was in a car accident and I needed to get to the hospital. When I got there, he was fine, just a bit shaken, and that he was only at the hospital, because the accident was on the highway and not some local roads. The call was a reminder that it is just me and Dad left in the family, and I am still needed around here, and my plans to move to Philly are put off even further than expected. It is also a sad reminder that Mom is gone and that I don't really have anyone to discuss stuff with, when there is either a moment of joy or tragedy in the family.

I now realize that I am 29, and that any show I go to, I am that creepy old guy who you think to yourself, "isn't he too old to be at this show?". I am also thinking, "Damn, 29 is old. I could never go out with some 29 year old chick." I still feel like I should be that guy who just got out of college, and dating some 22-25 year olds. It is probably because I didn't really date anyone when I was in high school, I didn't drink or party when I was in college, and most of my friends now, are 4-5 years younger than me.

I think that is all. Also, I recently bought a guitar and am trying to learn, and it feels like a mid-life crisis purchase. It's not that I have big dreams of being a professional musician or I am trying to look cool. It just kinda happened, that I wanted to learn how to play.

I don't know, it is probably the Theraflu talking.

My life at the moment is really 30/70. I have good times and then I have boring times. I'm glad I haven't gotten myself into any stupid shit like I usually do. But instead of getting in trouble I am just getting bored. I spend way too much time inside the house staring at my damn computer screen. It makes me sick sometimes, I feel like a bug attracted to a light. I have a few friends and we just sit down and hang out. I mean don't get me wrong I do enjoy the time spent with friends but I do wish I was actually doing something. Making some sort of accomplishent and furthering myself in life.
I've gone through three bike tires in the past two weeks so I am running low on options when it comes to leaving the house.

On the other hand buffalo is treating me well this summer. I went to a party last night that was themed anything but clothes. I wore a gift bag and coffee filters over my nipples. There were four kegs so I'd have to say I had a good time. Lots of cute chicks most of which were topless. I have seen quite a few shows as you may have seen in the concert thread. I just sit around and play guitar some to try and get better. I'd like to think that I am improving and doing well for playing a year and a half. My house is a mess and I am just too lazy to even do anything about it. Well thats about it not too much going on here.

The music is what keeps me sane.

I like this.

I too, am 29. Unemployed. Full time uni student again, doing a Graduate Diploma in Comp Sci. I found out after I graduated the first time with my Bachelor's degree that I didn't really know anything. All my friends who aren't actually that clever seemed to manage to get a job, though. My problem is just a complete lack of confidence in any ability I may have. Additionally, I just don't care. I couldn't care less if I don't have a job, a career, or whatever. It's all so pointless.

I've been with my girlfriend for over 5 and a half years. I like her and all, but it's just boring. Plus, she wants to buy a house and I really don't want the responsibility. I'm happy renting, who cares about the future? She wants to get married too. The two things together seem like a slippery slope to being old and boring. I may be boring, but I don't want to be old yet. I'm kind of with Lamp... if it fell apart, I'd be immensely happy living totally by myself for years. It's not that we don't manage to exist together, but I'd enjoy just having no one to have to answer to every damn day.

I don't really have any friends, but that's okay mostly. My best friend has been overseas for 6 months, and he's pretty much the only one I hang out with when he's around. We catch up on the internet anyway... though I don't know why he spends all his time in Thailand on the internet. My internet friends have all drifted apart after 2 years or so, after pretty much spending every day chatting. But it happens.

I don't go out and do anything, and probably play computer games too much... but I know that if I didn't do that, I'd probably just stare at a wall. Going out sucks. I drink too much, but I drink less now... I try to keep it to weekends, mostly.

Uni is keeping me busy anyway, though I doubt I'll ever make use of it when I've finished. As for this place, well... BTO flipping out at me kind of annoyed me, but I didn't want to fight about it, I just wanted him to shut up about it for a few minutes. Regardless, that doesn't affect anything round here, though I try to avoid replying to his posts in particular, as anything I say is automatically misconstrued. But yeah, I just don't have a lot to say. Not sure when I ever did, though...

I have my fare share of women problems myself. I either run into a chick who likes me a lot that I don't really find myself into. Or I end up liking a chick a lot and try the knight in shining armor routine in which I fail miserably. It's not like I do it on purpose it just happens. I like freeze up and get all flat tongued, I can't think of anything to say. I basically become the epitome of uninteresting. I used to lack the courage but then I just get myself in the its now or never mode and I at least give it a shot. If I am unsuccesfull then its a try at this sick sick game some other time.

I meet a lot of girls but I never get too serious with them. Sometimes I just get bored wit hthe people. I bore with a lot of these broads fast. The diamond in the rough that I found doesnt really like me as much as I like her. I think im in the abyss known as being her friend. and it sucks, her friend died on the first it was her best friend and he drowned at a beach. I made sure she knew I was concerned via calling her everyday checking in on her and trying to get her to get out of the house and have some coffee or something simple like that but she ended up staying in her house for three days or so while I tried staying vigil. She went to his funeral and she seemed better and well after that she has been busy. I feel unimportant and I realise I am very low on her list of priorities. So it sucks because I have been chasing her for a year and didnt really get anywhere. I'll still like her but I accepted the fact that it won't happen. Coming to grips with such a thing sucks real bad especially if you like someone a lot.

The whole unemployment deal is getting on my nerves. I'm sick of being poor and I am sick of being bored. I put in ten applications at various places and three days after I went out my home phone gets shut off. So I put out some applications and had my friends number on it. His phone ended up fucking up. So I am using my mothers cell phone now and I haven't gotten a call back. It is pretty hard finding a job with zero experience and not even 18 yet. Granted my birthday is in four days. there just is a wider selection of jobs that will hire anyone at 18.

Work place: For the past several months, the rule has been NO OVERTIME! But, starting last week, they finally realized that our store is WAY FUCKINGLY UNDERSTAFFED
So now we get as much overtime we want (or don't want in most cases) I am now starting to get scheduled 6 days a week and each day averages 9 to 10 hours each (then minus the half-hour lunch break...)
So basically... all week long... I get up at 3AM for work... go to work... work... go home and try to relaxe for a few hours... then go to bed... then repeat for 4 or 5 times more for the rest of the week.
I normally only work these kind of hours during the Christmas season... which is coming up too soon for my liking... I don't foresee any real break from my job until sometime next year... (which is okay, I guess since I've got car payments now)

Days off: I'll use yesterday as an example. I got up... did a few things... then I played Guild Wars for a while... Went to the store and came home and played Guild Wars some more... Took a break to watch The Simpsons... and then played Guild Wars again untill 10:30PM when I went to bed.
I know that wasn't really a good example of my days off... but it was the most recent.

Oh yeah... I also have athletes foot now from working so much... all is well.

The end
