Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

You know, I don't really know what I want.
I just know that I need to work to get things done.
I really do feel washed up and tired.
I should have been a soldier, just obey orders and let somebody else do the thinking. It was a bit like that when I was in the merchant navy, the lack of responsibility was quite addictive to some, who lived their lives in a floating monastary. Nowadays I can understand the attraction.
To digress a little .......
Some years ago, I remember just going to the fridge, taking out an egg, and smashing it over my daughters head! After the initial shock, she reciprocated in kind, and a dozen eggs later, the kitchen by now rather a mess, we all fell about laughing. We talk about it to this day!
I just wanted to share that with you.

When I�ve been denied employment I often experienced a sense of relief that I was not hired by someone who obviously had an inadequate appreciation for what I had to offer them. It's when I am hired that I feel my own self-worth is on the line because I then must live up to whatever expectations they have placed in me. Self-doubt soon fades as I accept this challenge as an opportunity to prove that they also had an inadequate appreciation for what I had to offer them. When they hand me my pay envelope at the end of the day it is not the money for which I say "Thank You" but for giving me the opportunity to prove that I am a worthwhile return on their investment.

I�ve never stayed long at a job where mutual appreciation was not evident. Mutual self-respect is much more important in any relationship than any amount of monetary remuneration. I have never fancied myself being but one link in an unbroken chain of ass kissers circling the globe (although I cannot say unequivocally that thoughts of having no other alternative haven�t prodded me to do the best work of which I am capable) only to discover that this is not the kind of people worthwhile employers are seeking.

I too could write a book of woeful tales, of living for months at a time on the streets, seeking shelter at night in tin sheds, the back seat of a car, in cardboard boxes by the river, in the woods and under bridges hiding from vagrancy police and unscrupulous thieves until I realised that I myself would be the author of what would ultimately be my life�s story and that it was up to me to conclude that story with a happy ending. Reality did not respond favorably to my honesty and the only truth it revealed as reward for my efforts is that it does not have any stake in my success. Reality is neither friend nor foe but where we discover whether we are our own best friend or worst enemy.

And so I learned that I had to make reality a place where I belonged by conforming to it alone and not the petty rules and capricious dictates of others. I�ve learned that I must seek out those who are my equals and deal with them as equals, neither slave nor master but partners in the struggle to live and flourish in a world where we succeed only to the extent of our ability to do so. Such is the world I have sought and now enjoy the good fortune to have found. My journey is now complete and each new day is only icing on the cake with an occasional scoop of ice cream as further incentive to keep baking.

If this story leaves you depressed, you have my sympathies but please don�t stop here. If nothing else it should encourage you to write one much more relevant and meaningful to you. My only wish is that your story has for you no less of a happy ending as mine does for me.

Growing old sucks big time. Get over it! It will all be over before you know it so enjoy the ride. It seems to me like you are already getting the hang of it. Old dogs can learn new tricks.

There are as yet no rules here in this abandoned monestary however it is highly recommended that you share the contents of any bottles of wine you run across.
But since you requested some guidance you are herewith banned from the hen house until further notice.
All bottles should definitely be shared.... Well as long as it's wine or beer or some form of cocktail. Bottles of cooking oil can be kept to yourself.

Getting old does indeed suck big time. I'm 30 at the end of the year for crying out loud... I always figured by 30 I'd have it all sorted out and frankly if that was a project I was working on, the deadline would need to be extended. Thank God I look better now than I did as a teenager or it really would be all down hill from here on in.

As to harking back to the past, well you can o it so much that you end up living in it. Same with always looking to the future. The present seems a good place to be, take care of that and the future should take care of itself.

We all have war stories from the past but without it none of us would be the people we are today. I can't speak for everyone but I quite like myself most of the time, (except when we argue or annoy each other which just gets quite disturbing).

Arguing amongst ourself . . . Brillient China! Just when I feared I might be running out of fresh ideas to keep this thread alive. Just try and tell me this thread won�t go to 500.

�This thread won�t go to 500�.

You don�t know that.

�Don�t count your chickens before they hatch�.

Now you know better than to argue with me . . . I always win!

Ah ah ah . . .
That Mib's is argueing with himself... online... And you thought this guy was bright?

Well I think he preferre the term tortured genius actually

But even so.... You actually consider yourself a good judge of character?

I never said I was a good judge exactly but most people seem nice to me

Oh well that's held you in good stead hasn't it?!

Will you at least try not to be such a cynic?

It's calling being realistic or sometimes pragmatic, you should try it sometimes instead of doing your bo-ho live for the minute thing!

But then I'd be a grumpy sod just like you

I knew you'd say that!

Well I knew you'd say that! You're so damn predictable, I don't know why I listen to you

Fine, I won't say another word then!

Good... about time know all!

Hey... can you hear voices?.....
Just to let you know, I would pop in to write something enlightening and witty but she's found thirty minutes worth of eightys cartoon intros on youtube so as you can imagine she'll be clicking on links to that for the afternoon... Do you see what I have to put up with?!
'Teenage mutant hero turtles, teenage mutant hero turtles, heros in a half shell, turtle power!!'

OMG! You guys will never believe what I just found on youtube!
Right what the hell does 'motorbiking that rack' mean?

(No, I've not been hanging out in strange bars, it was on Family Guy!)
I must try that arguing amongst myself!
I do talk to myself and question myself out loud quite often.
"Where am I?" "What am I doing here?" etc
If I stand still for long enough it usually all comes back.
Mibs and China, your words are so very encouraging, but more than that, comforting.
I can't work it all out properly, I am living every day in a mind fog, and I lack the energy to blow away the mists and see clearly.
I still have my sense of humour. Well, it's funny to me at least!
Forgive the language, but most of the time I just couldn't be ar$ed!
Theland, why are you posting on this thread?

To talk to my friends and occasionally have a laugh and mybe debate something serious.

No! You're a liar! You post on here looking for sympathy, you stupid weak wimp.

No I don't! I can't help expressing my feelings, I wear my heart on my sleeve!

Your "bleeding heart" you mean, you sad ba$tard, don't you think they are all fed up with you by now?

But they make me laugh, and sometimes I think, I hope that I make them laugh.

Are they laughing with you, or laughing at you? Think about it!

I feel the need to write, and express my feelings, and yes, maybe sometimes, a bit of a cry for help. I can't help feeling lonely and incapable at times.

So there we have it. The true ridiculous you! Too frightened to go out into the big wide world. You're a thicko matey! Should have tried harder in school!

I wish I was thirty like China.

Well wish on buddy, coz thirty you aint!

Go back to sleep, Elvis, you're doing my head in!
Men in white coats may come to take me away!
White coats, white coats, white coats white coats .......

I am not f**king 30 yet mister!!!


You're still way too hard on yourself by the way

Oh really?! ANd what have I been telling you all this time? Time you took your own sodding advice missy!

Well we're not talking about me, we're talking about Theland

Oh yes of course we are. Something of a specialty of yours that isn't it? You looked in the mirror lately?

Yes, and my hair still has too much red in it

Well you brought a poxy hairdye yesterday with brown in so use that and stop changing the subject!

I am not changing the subject

Oh please... you do it all the time. If in doubt, go shove your nose in to someone elses buisiness.

Well I don't think I'm quite that bad, I generally know what I'm talking about if I'm offering an opinion like that.

Oh do you now... and why's that do you think?! Unbelievable!

I swear to God if you don't shut up I'm going to spend the afternoon watching cartoons again and you'll never finish your damn book or go sort your CD's out

I really hate that you're the dominant side of the brain sometimes.

Hey, do you remember what we talking about before

No. Have you seen my book?
Pollergeez pollergeez I forgot you are still a "twentysomething."
I shall do penance.
Darn tooting you will. I'm requesting all your wine priviledges be revoked!
