Things You Pondered Today

[Killyourdreams]

Your parents should always love you just the same, unless your from Texas.

[Joe Pesci]

my parents have pretty much fucked me in terms of college... i never had any idea what area i would want a degree in, but theyve been forcing me to go to school and just take basic "core" classes for like the last 2-3 years (2-3 because i dropped some and re did them and am supposed to be finishing the last of the core classes this semester). thinking about it the last few days i really want to be a pharmacist... but after looking on some pharmacy school websites, it pretty much is telling me the classes you need to take before pharmacy school are almost nothing i have taken, and almost everything i have taken was pointless; including the classes i dropped, and now i only have 1 class left that i can drop.

with the financial situation that im in, and the locations where my parents live (divorced), i really dont have great options no matter how you look at it... so im wondering what the fuck im supposed to do now. just let this shit fuck me and say "oh well" and pretty much start over at school, getting into debt not living at home while still paying for classes with little to no educational background, and hope i can become a pharmacist? the "pharmacist plan" takes like 2 years of basic shit at any school, and then 4 years at pharmacy school, and thats if i dont fuck the classes up from failing or some shit... since i can only drop 1 more of them. theres a lot more that makes this a lot more complicated but i have no idea what to do....

Pondering quitting my job and selling my tiny flat and go travelling for a couple of years. I wanna see America, South America, maybe Africa too. So tired of living in Norway. My life is going nowhere. Six months of winter sucks. It is not a very sensible thing to do. I might ?? come back all broke and with nothing to show for - that's very likely actually. But maybe I'll have the time of my life, and it it will all be worth it - coming back to nothing. There is so much adventure to be had. Maybe it will inspire me to write a book, a bestseller, no less. Ha! Maybe I'll meet the woman of my dreams. You never know?! I guess I'm a romantic. ??

I was faced with same decision once and I decided to go for it. Five year later im still out and about in the world at large. Met a girl, she broke my heart. im a permenant resident of another country now. I have seen so many wonderfull things and met so many close friends. everything I own still fits in my backpack and yet I feel at home.

Do it, do it now and never look back.

[close]

Where are you from? Where do you live now? Where have you been? How do you make a living now? Tell me more please.

Well Im origionally from a small seaside tow in Scotland Called Ayr, I moved to Glasgow for university and a bit more space, traveled here and there around Europe on my summers and after graduation, Barca, munich, Paris, Copenhagen. And then started seeing a girl who was from Canada, and so decided to come out here for a bit and visit her.

First moved to a kinda liberal arty University town called Guelph, close enough to Toronto and the skate scene there, then moved to Ottawa where I live now. Applied and was granted residancy along the way, due to my girlfriend and my Job with the University. And yeah as of now I cant see myself leaving here. If anything ill move around the country and see as much as I can but yeah, i dunno I just found somewhere that fits me.

Hope this helps!

about the porn thing... i never like watching a dude get himself off on a girls face or anything. its pretty much watching a dude beat off, which i also dont understand... i always felt the purpose of doing shit with girls was so you didnt have to actually do it yourself

[close]

I pretty much hate seeing dudes in porn period especially hardcore porn.

[close]

nothing is a bigger turn off than some dudes grunting

[close]

That doesn't bother me as much as seeing penises. I really hate seeing penises.

[close]

sleepypancakes should be able to help you to get over that problem.

best of luck to your coming out by the way, i hate the fact that sexuality is such a big thing in society. i am hetero, but i think it shouldnt bother anyone what kind of gender i love. and i think that most parents love their children no matter what kind of partner they choose. even if they maybe wont admit it at first.

My family is from Ohio. But thankfully we aren't super conservative. I told my mom and she knew, my dad wasn't upset or anything. I have 3 brothers to carry on the "family name"

[Human Onion]

^ Good for you.

Yes, thanks!

congrats sleepypancakes. btw is 'sleepypancakes' some sort of homosexual sex position?

[sleepypancakes]

congrats sleepypancakes. btw is 'sleepypancakes' some sort of homosexual sex position?

hahaha no. i should get on that though. its actually an inside joke from when I was in high school. I used to smoke copious amounts of weed at one time and pull like all nighters and shit. But one time me and some friends did that and i passed out onto a pile of pancakes at ihop the next day syrup and all.

[Killyourdreams]

So you find that kid with no shirt doing an indy way hotter then those girls in your signature huh? The reason you put it up is because
you can see his firm abs huh? or no?

[cringe.]

How old are you sleepypancakes? i'm gonna have to do that soon as well, should be interesting.

pondering whether to do a free half gram of speed tomorrow, or whether to spend twenty pounds on half a gram of mdma instead, oh, sigh, third world problems...

[Grubby Mits]

Well speed is pretty shit, and here in England it's generally terrible quality. Mandy is so much more fun but a half g isn't much and the speed is free. Hmm... what's the occasion?

Also amphetamines can temporarily give you the symptoms of schizophrenia, been revising for my psychology exam about it today haha.

[nice weather]

people and their third world problems!

[cringe.]

oh yeah, I know speeds shitty, last time i did it i didnt sleep that night... but free is free and god i love me some frugality, hmmmm
+ a hessle audio night at fabric

[Zurg]

ha!

[DMH]

Pondered whether or not imperialism would have been such an issue if the continents were all still connected to one another.

Is Chevy Chase really crazy and out of touch or just putting us all on?

really? most beans over here only have a tenth of a gram of mali in them

[Grubby Mits]

haha you generally don't sleep on uppers that's the point. I'm going fabric next month on the 17th for dubpolice, solu:tion and some others for a mates 18th. Dubpolice should be good.

Are beans pills? Haha don't use the same slang. How would you know how much md is in a pill? I've only done md 4 times and the third time I did it I bombed a on the gram gram in three wraps that was supposedly pretty pure, I was fucked but I did .75 the next time a month later and was fairly chilling. When i've done smaller doses like .25 i've always ended up mixing with alcohol and cannabis out of stupidity and going a bit mad

woops, I meant like the next night. That's cool dude, i dont really get along with dubstep/dnb, but i'm sure you'll have fun, its a good time there!

[Grubby Mits]

What are you in to? I like most stuff, love a bit of oldschool jungle. Only turned 18 a few montsh ago and haven't got round to fabric yet so i'm pretty excited. Going cable, electric, brixton acandemy (for bass culture live) aswell that month, going to be dead. Yeah anyway have fun with whatever you choose

Raven Tershy doing a properly tucked frontside air is always sick. I don't find him attractive though. Just thought it was funny. I used to have patrick melcher noseblunting an orange.

Well, this is some pretty solid advice from a very wise man:

Do you live with your parents? If so, just bring a dude back to your place and make it so your parents walk in on you guys doing the deed, and just be like, "Ooops. I'm gay!"

You know you're a grown up when you start quoting yourself  " Like I always say......."

[happenstance]

I am really wondering if I am making the right career decisions. Politically, I am pretty radical so I need to do something that allows me to sleep at night. At the same time, I want a family one day and I hear kids are expensive! I graduated from school a year ago and am 26 now. I work in a furniture store and intern at a non-profit twice a week. I am looking for work in the non-profit world (pretty tough right now!) and once I get a job am thinking of applying to grad school at Berkeley (where I live and went to undergrad) for their MBA in non-profit management. I need to have about 5 years of work experience to be a solid candidate there so I will be pretty old by the time that happens. At the end of that I am wondering if I will make enough money to support a family? I know if I work in fundraising I can make decent money. On the other hand there are lots of semi-righteous things I can be doing (that involve more money) and grad schools I can get into right now. I could do some sort of socially beneficial law or get a regular MBA and work in green retro-fitting. I don't know... Pondering life decisions.

go teach english in an underdeveloped nation. was just in cambodia and the khmer people are very grateful for any help. it's socially constructive and proactive and would be an adventure. all you need is a BA or BS to teach basic English at a University. Wouldn't necessarily be a forever/career gig, it might open doors though. If nothing else it would be a great experience and afford you time to make decisions.

paging EricLogan...

[oneshovel]

I live in a small 2bdr apt with my friend.  He started seeing this girl, and she's been staying over basically every night.  Now I don't want to be an asshole, but I do not intend to live in this cramped space with a couple.  I've mentioned this to him already and she keeps coming every day.  What do I do next?

[Cthulhu!]

Kill her

[DMH]

Kill your roommate. Floor space for your belongings increases two-fold.


Why is being alive so dumb and hard sometimes? I always feel like I'm managing everybody else's feelings on top of my own.
