Well, I guess I've found my complete polar opposite. Wish I could have been that way at his age. Heh, still trying to figure out how to be that way at my age. :lol

I'm not hating, but I'm saying that you have it a lot easier (financially) when you have others to fall back upon for support.

Will I ever find the perfect wo(man) who will wake me up at 5:05 in the morning on weekdays?

The NatPortBot can do that and more!

Has a nasty habit of punching in the groin to wake you up though. Tiny little mistake in her programming.

I cook for myself. All you would need to do it make sure I wake up at the right time. I'm really bad about that kind of stuff.

Fistful, you're just like me. We're lone wolves, we can't be burdened by others, we need to live our own lives. Having a girlfriend has benefits but the negatives far outweigh the positives.

Only single people know the true meaning of freedom.
 
Pretty cool man. Glad to hear things are going well for you and that you've taken the time to appreciate your blessings.

However, not all are as fortunate, and it is important to consciously recognize that by not taunting others with your own positive lifestyle. The thread title in itself is making a mockery of those that suffer depression and those that are in a very tough time with no one to support them.

It wouldn't hurt to be a bit more gentle on how you display your appreciation.

Thankfully, I'm neither.



Today I've been thinking a lot about my current situation.

I'm a 21 year old white male. I'm a college graduate. I'm currently employed in the same field a went to school for. I'm pretty financially secure at this moment. I'm not in any kind of major debt. I have a lot of expendable income. I have plenty of forms of entertainment. I have two good friends that talk to daily. I'm fairly burden free. I'm popular on the internet.

As far as I'm concerned, Life is fucking great.

When I compare my life to that of my peers... I get real happy real quick. Most people I know are either: unemployed, hate their jobs, or are just miserable. Sure they put the "happy" front up when around other people, but when the conversation leads to their current state in life? The complaining starts to flow.

And I sit there. Listening to all their problems. Indifferent to it all because... my life is pretty awesome.


Anyone else life pretty awesome? How does it feel to be living an awesome life? So awesome if you ask me.

I'm Natalie Portman (no joke) and I will never suck your dick (no homo) and I think you're a piece of shit (no lie).
 
Happiness isn't some checklist. It isn't proud or boastful. It isn't a contest. It's easy to know when you're happy because you'll often find yourself in the company of other happy people. You won't need to find people more miserable than yourself to feel good.

I get the feeling that this isn't going to be a happy thread.

POINT OF THIS THREAD: I CAN'T GET A GIRLFRIEND AND MY LIFE SUCKS, SO I'LL COMPENSATE WITH THIS RANT!!!

Did I manage to nail that one on the head? :D

The thing is that while fistful might be doing good financially, he's still an empty little man on the inside. He made this thread in order to "show off" so others could hate him and that's what makes him feel good about himself.

Or he has a sense of humor not far removed from mine.

Living in your parents' house = freedom. Alright, note taken.
 
My life's not too shabby. Junior in college, working at JCPenney's with a bunch of college chicks, got a comfy little apartment, rooming with three friends from high school.

I can't complain.
 
:lol fistful's posts are so awesome.

And again - jangaroo - favorite junior of all time, all time! (granted, he's not a junior anymore, but yeah)
 
It is interesting that one must make a thread about how their life is going so great, especially in the absence of a major contrast of the poster.

Yes, he did say that some of his friends tell him how horrible their lives are going, giving him the realization that his life, in contrast, is going excellently.

However, what I mean is ...Wouldn't this thread make more sense under the context of a major change in one's life?

For example, "A few months ago I was broke, unemployed, and essentially homeless, but it's been a five months and now I have a steady income, and I have a roof over my head. I'm so thankful that my life has turned around the way it did, and it makes me believe that anyone can have such a fortunate turn around like I did."

Realistically it goes more like, "I realize everyone around me has a pretty rough life, therefore, my life is going awesomely!"

To me the intention of the post does not sound like an appreciation, rather a boast. Yes this has been stated before in the thread, but I'm just providing some concrete analysis because I'm seriously procrastinating for a project due tomorrow and I really don't wanna do it. :D
