Fixed. You've gotta have some inspiration, and happiness usually doesn't cut it. Can you imagine if every singer was Jason Mraz or Colbie Caillat? That's just an awful thought.

i'm guessing that quote is referring to 'the alchemist' which is based off a fantastic short story by borges, a great source for inspiration

also, remember the average age of teamliquid when reading about drug/alcohol glorification

I have a friend that uses meth when he wants to cram/study things in order for him to assimilate as much information as possible...

But meth is a bitch when abused alot.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I think it's up to the individual what they choose to do to their body. As long as it doesn't harm them in a way they're not consciously aware of (aka. the dangers of smoking and drinking to excess are pretty well publicised.) or hurt anyone else (such as drunk driving killing pedestrians or alcohol/drug related muggings/crimes.) then no one else really has a right to tell them what to do.

I personally don't drink or smoke - no smoking because I have better ways to spend my money and I saw the health problems it caused my father and no drinking (not more than a couple of beers/soju shots.) because of my emetophobia. I definitely don't begrudge anyone a good time, but I actually feel very uncomfortable around drunk people (last time I went out with friends someone got very drunk and was throwing up into his beer glass at the table - not only was it disgusting, but it was also unfair of him to stay and spoil everyone else's enjoyment of their food due to his over-drinking.) I'd also never do drugs because of my emetophobia and also I am a bit of a control freak. I've never even had the urge to try them.

The only thing that kind of annoys me is when people complain about hangovers after drinking - after all you always have a choice whether to drink or not. Excuses about people constantly re-filling your glass or 'having' to drink strike me as pretty lame. There shouldn't ever be a situation where someone 'has' to drink in a social context. So when friends complain of being hungover I am not usually sympathetic. (Oh unless your drink is spiked which is a horrible thing to do to someone.)

I don't really condone drinking to excess or the glorification of weird/silly things done whilst drunk, but if it's how people want to live their lives then I'm not going to preach to them about it either. It's all about personal preference.

its a cool experience that can last for years
kind of a different world
trying stuff is amazing when you just a beginner
many people will say they never regret what they done since they were young and adventurous
but only the ones that are not suffering from it
i ended up pretty roughed up for quite some time and i still live with the consequences of the shit i used to do. I used to say i was happy with the way i live but now i do regret it sicne it didnt end good for me
Can someone ban this guy please? FA?
