You're never going to 'fix' anything or make things better if you believe you are smarter than everyone else and everything you do is perfect. Salazarz did put it a bit bluntly and wasn't very nice, but consider what he's saying. Best of luck in what you do and where you go from here on out. I personally know many people--and know of even more--who seemed to find their stride quite late, but they ended up really picking up the pace and found a good environment and their place in the world. | ||

You're never going to 'fix' anything or make things better if you believe you are smarter than everyone else and everything you do is perfect. I come to this post sober and I think, oh God, what have I done? Then re-read the thread. I don't get it. There's no hate or bile. There is literally and exactly one post which I disagreed with in this thread (well, until this one), and I did so in a civil manner. I don't get it, but I apoligize if zalz or you thinks I responded with hate and bile, because it wasn't my intent. Believe me, I don't think everything I do is perfect. Smarter than everyone else, maybe most people, but that's irrelevant and worthless. | ||

I'm really sorry again if people thought I responded with anger or self-righteousness. I apologize, and it wasn't my intent. I am certainly self-centered, I admit that. I don't think I'm a douchebag or have a serious superiority complex, nor do I think such psychoanalsyis could be made on a few drunk blog posts. Thanks, I hope I can find my stride as you put it. | ||

For that you don't need to be precise and get to the point. (excuse me i I answer for you trias, but thats how I read it anyway) I listenend to most of the song and I still think its bad =) Thats more me =) Kids are amazing. They are almost always happy. They don't hold grudges (for long), They take things for granted. They see most things with innocent eyes without thinking about the bad experiences in the past. Problem with teaching (I've sorta tried. Was a substitute for a year) is that you have to break this bubble of amazingness and force adulthood upon them. Which suck. For them and for you. I realized teaching wasn't for me, but working daycare, kindergarden or some after school hangout place were you basicly just have to make sure no one gets hurt is more me. No bubbles bursted or innocent eyes ruined. (That's not what I'm doing profesionally... But I will if my current career fails... probably =)) Thanks, I agree with you on writing. I have a degree in philosophy, and if there's one thing you learn there, it's how to write clearly and logically. But writing clearly can't express everything. It just can't. I have this problem when I'm drinking that I think everyone will like the music I like. Sorry. Working with kids kind of sounds amazing. I think it would would feel...good. Fulfilling? I'm not sure if I will become a teacher, maybe, but I think I'd like a few kids of my own someday. | ||

Some people are forced to change, some want to change, but most probably do it to make their lives better or achieve some goal or dream. I know a lot of people who get out of the "make art, play games, be happy" bubble to take on stressful and mentally/physically challenging tasks because it gives them purpose and a sense they deserve to exist. Some do it because they believe they have the potential to do something better or greater. It's how the world keeps on going and better (generally). I'm attempting to go down this path right now. Failing, sadly. I still play too many games. I drink too much. I try to avoid reality too much. It's impossible to be successful when you faze in and out of the real world. If I focused on my studies I could do well, get straight A's, get connections, get my life on track. That was the goal, after all. The problem is in execution. I'm scared. I may need to do something drastic to change things. Move back with parents, get rid of computer? It implies a long commute to school but it may be worth it because what I'm doing right now isn't working. Also, I didn't like the writing, maybe others do, but if you're trying to communicate to others and know their attention span is short like it is in the Internet, better to get to the point and argue well, but not with some artistic/poetic style. This whole pattern of <Insert Question Here> followed by <Oh wait it's not actually a real question but a rhetorical one so let me just give you another rhetorical question or answer> is extremely annoying and wasting time. Then again, the last 8 years of my life, education, and career has focused intently on "get to the point leave the artistic BS out". I understand this from the context of problem solving and getting to root issues. But for some people that artistic BS is life. My sister would kill herself if you took away the 'annoying' artistic BS. And she almost has, because people have tried. | ||

The difference between you and me is that I stopped playing games because my computer can not run sc2 in quality therefore i cannot participate in the competitive nature that i always wanted. Back when BW was around, i considered myself pretty good but i traded my social life for that game. Now in college it's not much different except i am now training for an Ironman which is a 2.4mile swim, 112mile bike, and 26.2mile run all in the same day without break under 17 hours. I don't like drinking and i dont go out that much, i train up to 25 or so hours a week. In my time i'm not training i cook and try to learn playing the guitar i have no musical talents lol. and because of these i no longer feel "lonely" , I think picking a hobby that you love doing to distract yourself is one of the most important things. Set a goal, do whatever you can to accomplish it. | ||
