Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

The pilots are arguing about how much fuel we have left. I hate the back seat...

^ Show the pilot that goatse thing. Should be lulz.

< is not 12.

The people around me don't realize that the world isn't how they see it and that it just is!!!!!! But then again thats how I see the world.

You're philosophically advanced beyond them. Pisses them off is what it does. And confuses them. Dangerous.

Well that's a shame. You're like totally missing out on good times, dude.

Adolescence pales in comparison to what I get to do these days.

Wait for your mid-life crisis to hit you like a freight train? .-.

He's pretty good isn't he?

*Just changed the entire meaning of your post*

lol

The effects started wearing off late last night
I'll try to get some more sleep from around 6PM-midnight, so I can be awake for my daughter.

I chomped down on my gum last night I wish I wasn't too cheap to buy a $21. night guard!

I'm so fucking tired and have to catch a train in like 2 hours. I'm getting no sleep. I could sleep for like an hour right now but it seems even more painful to have to get out of bed after an hour of sleep than not sleeping at all. Plus I lost my second alarm clock and am terrified of sleeping in, as I seem to have a habit of turning off my alarm clocks when I'm really tired and going back to sleep with no memory of it in the morning. It seems every time I travel and have a long day ahead of me, I have to leave really early in the morning and end up extremely tired on a busy day I should be getting extra sleep. I played some L4D2 and that awakened me but I became tired again as soon as I stopped playing.

Drink coffee or not? [This is all this paragraph is about...]
Now I'm suffering the familiar dilemma of whether to drink coffee or not before I leave. Am I going to be able to fall asleep on the train or not? If I get a window seat (50% chance) I might be able to get some (probably short) half-sleep. I could risk it and not drink coffee, and the day before sleeping (if I can sleep) will be excruciating, then I'll wake up from a (hopefully long) sleep, refreshed, and the rest of the day will be a lot better than otherwise. Or I could drink like 3 cups of coffee, be alert and everything won't be so bad, and hope that I can't feel the tiredness anymore. If I don't drink coffee and then decide while on the train I can't sleep anyway, I'll have to buy the terrible coffee they serve on the train's Bistro car. I need to put like 8 creamers and 3 sugars in that and it still tastes horrible, way too strong. The other bad thing about lacking so much sleep on the train is that it makes me practically incapable of reading, which is all I have to do. When I'm really tired and try to read, I'll have to reread the same sentence over and over, not comprehending it. If I do drink coffee, the worst case scenario is that I can't fall asleep because of the coffee, yet lack too much sleep to read either, and am stuck sitting bored as hell for 8 hours.

I just hate this feeling. It would be so nice to board a train with more than 3 hours of sleep for once. I'm so used to getting little to no sleep before visiting my boyfriend, I associate the feeling of being tired and traveling and caffeinated with going to see him. Even when I've lacked sleep for some other reason and am drinking coffee and out of the house, I'll feel like I'm going to see him and get those feelings and memories that I seem to have no access to other times.

I'm sick of people right now. Almost everyone I think about annoys me in some way.
I suppose my sense of humor is too dry or something and no one understands my jokes. The reaction is just confusion and annoyance. I"m usually uptight as hell and if I let myself make a joke, the type of joke that I'd find funny, no one gets it. I guess that 'be yourself' advice is complete fucking bs. Yes, 'be yourself' as long as who you are is who everyone wants you to be in the first place.

Hmm.. if you have that long of a trip, I'd suggest ditch the coffee and try to get that sleep in the train. I gather you have hard time sleeping in the train, especially if not the window seat? Staying awake for that long is the worst option, as I see it.

This is not to meant to offend you anyway, but I tend to write things in a way that people take it badly. Is there some reason you are particularly uptight? Can you loosen up a little? Because on my experience uptight people always seem to have a lot more reasons to be angry. Do you care other peoples opinions much when you wrote the last line on your post? I think we all should be what we are ourselves comfortable with. Because it is yourself you gotta live for the rest of your life, not the other people. Myself, I know that certain people cannot stand me or understand my actions, but I don't care about that. They don't know me. I know me.

Hopefully I did not make you feel any more worse or annoyed.

Hehe, sounds very familiar to me; I have to go to the barber every three weeks if I want my hair to stay as short as it is.

I'm in such a ranting mood. Everywhere i see people carrying burdens that they don't wish to carry nor do they have to. This does not effect me, i know, except when they expect me to carry those boulders too. I feel like i'm in some circus or some sort of ring of hell where there's ants all around me, laden with boulders and carrying them to God-knows-where, circles for all i know, and they look at me and notice i don't have a boulder. "why don't you have one?" they ask me. I ask "why do you?"
"because you have to."
"who says?" i say.
"it's just life."
Well no, no it isn't life. I was just on an airplane and sitting next to me was a gentleman studying for his college classes. "what are you going to school for, my friend?" i ask.
"For literature and philosophy" was the answer. "what do YOU go to school for?"
"I do not go to school, i can teach myself. What will you do with your literature or philosophy degree?"
"I don't know. I suppose i'll teach literature, since that is about the only thing you can do with that degree. I have a lot of debt, and i'll need to pay it off as quick as possible."
"Is that what you would like to do?" i ask.
"well, i'd really like to go to Austria and teach English, just live in the country, you know."
I look at this poor gentleman, and inform him that he does not need a degree for that, just some certificate. I'd been looking into the same thing for India.
He looks at me and says sadly "i know."
He asks me: "So, what will you do for the rest of your year?"
"Oh, i suppose anything i want. I have about 13 books i am reading at the moment i should like to finish, but i am also teaching myself violin and in the process of building myself something to travel around in. What will you do for the rest of your year?"
Then i realize what he'd be doing for the rest of his year. "Oh, you'll be in school."
"yeah" he says "but we have a really good reading list this year. They have Ulysses on the list!"
I look at him sadly "I read Ulysses myself.... for free."

It is okay, honestly, if people choose to go to school. Especially if they need it to do what they want. However, i feel sad for those, like this gentleman, who had gotten sucked into college merely by the pressure of others who don't quite know exactly what is best for this lad. Now, because of this, as he has told me, he is way more than several thousand dollars in debt, which would force him to get a well-paying job (highly overrated) say, teaching Literature, should he be so lucky to find that job, and thus stuck for however long it would take him to pay off that debt, completely unable to do what he actually wishes to do: Teach English in Austria and live in the country. Would he be able to pay off that debt doing this? I don't know, i kinda doubt it.

But his is a tragedy that does not effect me. What does effect me are those who wish to inform me of my terrible mistake of enjoying life fairly freely, and most of those people are terribly unhappy.
I had actually just, not long ago, ended a conversation with another lad.
"Why do you want to be a hermit?" he asks me.
"Because i don't want to be around these people, i don't want to be a part of this."
"Why do you hate people? Why do you hate society?"
"In a way i do not hate them, a hyena cannot help but be a hyena, a leech cannot help but be a leech, but in a way i do hate them because they are not supposed to be hyenas and leeches, they are supposed to be humans. Here we have humans, supposedly a superior animal. True, they do magnificent things, but they also do the most horrific things i had ever heard of. Perhaps they are not acting like hyenas and leeches, but more like demons. Hell must have it pretty easy down there, barely has to lift a finger because humans do it all themselves. But what's more, if you try to shy away from their company and their rules and their made-up sense of right and wrong which even they do not follow, they become offended! Like if i was in a circus and there's clowns running around smacking eachother with mackerel, and they expect me to join in. This is a bad example, though, because i'd do that. Anyway, to my main point. A jailer takes you to a cell and hands you the keys and walks away. Are you going to lock yourself up? Only if you're Socrates."

"ok" he says.

I suppose people have a beauty to them. I should say a possibility of beauty, only often this little glimmer becomes clouded and pushed to the background by a huge ugly something.
People should ask themselves "Why carry a boulder? Do i have a good reason?"
If you can come up with a good reason, or if you actually want to have burdens in order to have something more, that's great. I don't want it, though, so i'd wish they'd stop trying to hand it to me.
There is so much to rant about. Mostly about all the double-standards of people. I am not saying anything new or shocking here, many people are frustrated by this, i just haven't met hardly any.

I have my tonsillectomy tomorrow at 7 a.m., and I'm scared as fuck.

I love you.

Woops, you too puffin, but I meant Sassafrax

I just sent my first friend request on DV

On this site you'll find a lot of people who live life by their own rules. I never went to college for a degree - I just took a few art classes there. When I tell people that to me "a degree of knowledge" is far more important than a piece of paper they look at me like I'm some kind of alien creature. My education has been mostly online and completely free (aside from what I've paid for a few books here and there), and it's in a basically socially useless skill... stopmotion animation. Can I get a job with it? Hell no (well, unless I wanted to work on something like Robot Chicken - no thanks!). But what I do get from it is something much deeper... satisfaction and inspiration. Most people just believe you have to have a job that takes up most of your time and then you spend the rest of your time chilling... I just work jobs here and there to get the money I need to live on and spend most of my time doing what I love. And I'm adamant about keeping my art totally separated from money... that way leads to soullessness and selling yourself out for a few bucks.

Stop motion animation is a wonderful way to teach yourself shit you wouldn't have ever imagined. It taught me Zeno's Dichotomy Paradox when I was 12, and I sure as hell never heard of him at that age.

Because she's female and only because she's female. Don't deny it tommo, I know you well enough to be able to see where this is headed. Sassafrax, I'd advise you to be wary of tommo.

He seems like a real nice guy but before you know it, you'll be spending hours on end chatting over MSN, Facebook, phone, etc, and then he'll convince you to make you're way over to Melbourne. You'll get there all bright eyed and cheerful and he'll greet you with a big warm smile, talking about how things will be different form now on, how the two of you will live happily ever after. It's all an act though; 10 minutes after he's got you face down/ass up, or on your back with your ankles behind your head, he'll just hand you a fistful of cash and kick you out of his house. Believe me, I know. >_>

Procrastination lulz

That happens to me all too often.
