So, if we all know that we are circling the drain, do we wait for the big flush, and ride the waves, or do we try to jump out of this toilet? What does the monkey brain do? The flight or fight instinct installed in us compels us to try to escape, but as this is our whole world, there is no safe dry land to leap toward. From my limited perspective it appears that corporate America, and the world behind it, has taken to pushing the others down in hopes of one more breath of air before the final plunge.

So, since we are all on the Titanic, I think I will sit and enjoy the orchestra.

Everyone died from RWHN's bad puns.

It's very sad.

Well then I guess the conversation has died off then. So I see your plan for world domination has yet to come to fruition.

Salutations, its been a good long time since I posted last. The primary reason for this is that I have moved out into the sticks. I mean this place is downtown Hickville. Its so backwards that it has scared off the internet, not to mention the local sheep farmers. I was hoping to get in touch with a few friends because since I was on last the whole world has gone into what appears to be a tailspin, and has yet to recover. Now I could be behind the times, as even the news has to take a dirt road to get way out here, so someone please tell me how everything has fared in my long absence.

 

Try draining the oil from the engine, that should make us run better, without all that disgusting lubrication. At the least, it might shift your gears without those loud scrapes, or is it you need to learn to shift properely.

Okay, so I suppose that we each are a collection of our various humors, That does not make the whole any wiser. A wise man (or woman) still uses the accumulated synopsis of his life, or in gamer terms his XP,to judge matters against what is known. That basis of comparison is what separates the common yokel from a slightly more evolved human.
   But that is just my opinion.

I encounter so much despair on a daily basis. It exists in everyone I talk to, well almost everyone. The customers I meet at work, the friends I meet when I play, and just random passers-by. It has become endemic to our society that despair is the overriding emotion felt by the masses.

I have not yet fallen to the hopelessness that I see, but I see many who have. I see those that have given up on life, on hope, on everything. They walk the Walk of the Damned, that lifeless look so evident in their faces. It reminds me of a lonesome zombie, unable to find any succulent brains, so eats its own putrid rot instead. Their angst feeds off itself. They are the Lost.

There are thousands of ways that those who are Lost may recover, but to them the future is a bleak dry canyon with no way out. Life itself has become the trap, and they try to gnaw off their own leg to escape it.

To be so utterly downtrodden, and refusing to try to better ones own self is pathetic. I want to scream at those who wallow in their own self-pity. WAKE THE HELL UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR LIFE!!!!!!! I suppose that Mrs. Manners would not approve though.

"Your life is your own, rise up and live it". An author named Terry Goodkind wrote this, and it needs to be said, only loud enough that even those who choose not to hear could not ignore. Here is one of my own: "Life leads to Pain, Pain leads to Anger, Anger leads to Change, Change leads to Hope. Hopelessness leads to an un-wept death upon the rocky shores of Reality" But try telling this to one who has no hope.

Officially, I give up. I will no longer try to drag one more hopeless soul from their Pit of Despair. They will need to find their own way out or.... well thats all up to them, isn't it? If someone asks, then I may lend a hand, but I am, as of now, NO LONGER SAVING ANYONE, unless they WANT TO BE SAVED!!!

For me, this IS my Pit, my Darkness, my piece of hopelessness. But I will recover. Such is the cruel nature of the Human soul. We go on. Now the rest of you that can't see their own way out, just please feel free to drop right off the Earth you hate so much and rid us of your pessimism. Amen

I would have to say that nothing angers, or inspires you enough to cause a reaction. You are becoming more jaded to the world.

 

You forgot one.

Everybody and their stinking opinions do not really matter

Except me.

Oh, yeah, you have one more post before you hit the 50 post rule.

Okay, I ikely deserve whatever you are going to smash me in the head with, just get it over with, so I can get the gore off the walls.

Ok, why did you skip me? I was there.

No you weren't.  That was Thursday.

Okay, maybe peoples reaction was so bad that it clung to them like a fungus for a day. I came in Friday and heard folks complaining about it. Pity that I missed it.

Only a day?  I must be losing my thing.  Hell, people are STILL complaining about the wedding gifts I got for Hat and Sam.

Well, they were rather "interesting" gifts.

I also believe, realistically, that a lot of men do not, and that less would if they were not constantly bombarded with expectations.

Male crying about male crying fail.

It could be worse, and you don't need my help to imagine it.

I have known plenty of guys who would act stereotypically macho around other guys, but would become considerably more sensitive in a comfortable situation where they knew they would not be judged. Bear in mind, I'm not trying to argue that "all men are as sensitive as women", just that statement made regarding all men, or men in general, are almost never accurate.

I would not make the mistake of generalizing all men into any catagory. That would be wrong. What I was referring to is the general insensitivity of the average human male. As a member of the aforementioned, I observe those around me, almost anywhere that I go. My statement was a reflection of what I have seen. It is unfortunate that most males tend to be as I described, but I do not by any means mean all of them.
