I really need to find something fun to do. I used to vandalize stuff, but that got boring, and I didn't want to take the risk of juvie.

 

 

 

Erm... it's good that you stopped vandalising, but you just stopped because of the possible consequences? That's the only reason?

 

 

 

No, there's maybe two other main reasons that I stopped, but those are to be kept to myself.

In some ways I guess it does seem rather boring, but as most people have said a lot of it has to do with perspective. Personally, I find writing and playing music exhilarating and it takes me to a whole different world, where I don't have to worry about anything. It's just me and the music. And so far in life, I have found no feeling greater than hearing someone tell me that one of the song I wrote turned their day around. I don't think you necessarily have to take deadly risks and shoot up bad guys for excitement; you just need to do whatever makes you happy. I mean, I left the movie theater after watching August Rush just as inspired as I had when I watched Quantum of Solace.

 

 

 

Also, lately I've been wondering why exactly I'm here on earth, and realized I'm not here for any reason at all. And, don't you think it's kind of boring not having a reason to live? That's why I've given myself a few reasons to live. I don't know why or how these will benefit me, they're just to give me something to work on in life. They are: 1. To inspire young musicians just like many musicians have inspired me, 2. To make enough money with music to support a relatively small family, 3. To be remembered in history forever. I know the last one sounds kinda difficult, and will no doubt require extreme amounts of innovation and luck, but I think it's a good goal to set for myself. I mean, I would be perfectly content living my life pleasing others with music. That's just fine with me. But I'd much rather be extremely happy, rather than perfectly content, with my life. I think the best way to do that would be to reform some aspect of human life for the better that gets me put in a history textbook. Again, I realize how futile it seems but I don't see any harm in it. And to be honest, I think I might be able to do at least something great for mankind, whether I get remembered or not :P

My life is only dull when I'm doing something I do not enjoy. Which, fortunately, is not very often...

This is exactly how I feel about programming and game development. :thumbup:

Yes... I agree. I just hope that it doesn't get to the point where I can't stand to study or do any type of work at all.

 

 

 

I do not currently do anything particularly exciting. Probably why I play video games so much.

Of course regular life is dull, this is why I refuse to live one.

 

 

 

The regular: go to college, go to grad school (maybe), get a good job, make money, get married, have kids, retire, die; throw in some vacations and random odd [cabbage], and you've got a life.

 

 

 

My plans: travel on little to not money, work my way as I go, and live in the Peace Corps/Americorps/etc. I mean...I don't want money, I just wanna travel and stuff. A number of things give these opportunities, for example I'm in New Orleans for a week for $200. I volunteered to help out for Katrina relief during the day, and get to enjoy life 4:00 pm and on.

I'm doing something similar, only I've been saving up for the past 5 years. I'm hoping to take a year off before college, or maybe after college, and do this. If it's after college, I'll be able to save more. I could care less about staying at like nice hotels and such, but I need money to just cover the logistics of it. I'm hoping to be able to do this with someone, be it one of my best friends, a boyfriend, my brother, or whatever, but sharing the experience with someone would make it a lot more interesting. But, this is honestly one of the few things I have planned for my future, and I though i have yet to figure out exactly where I'm going, or when, but it should be amazing.

 

Actually, I had a teacher who did this, and he said when he was traveling through some areas, he literally had to pretend to not be American to avoid getting into fights and conflicts. I'm not white, so I may have less problems with that, but it's kind of sad that that is what some people's opinion of our country is. Of course we're not perfect, and I know there are many people who are extremely intolerant of people from certain countries here, but still..

I find my life hidiously dull. I end up passing time by playing mind games with everyone around me.

 

Alas, even that gets boring. so when that happens I usually just do something really stupid and tricky, like break into a teachers office and leave a note inside....simply for the thrill, no personal gain.

Life is dull and boring. I always get this watching the end of Season 4 of House. There's just so much drama and I end up just lying there and wondering why my life can't be like that. Why can't it be like on TV or in the anime I watch? It's saddening really. Fiction in books and TV can be amazing, take you to other places and make you feel, but it makes you sad when it crashes down that you really can't live like these people.

 

 

 

And I know that no matter how much I don't want to, I'm going to leave college, go to University, get a normal job and live a normal life. I hate that it's how it's going to be. People say you're free to live your own life! Take chances! But they have concequences on you. I don't want to end up having no income when I'm older because I wanted to travel to Japan when I was 18 instead of going to Uni. I honestly hate the world we live in, but you don't follow the rules then you'll find it difficult. #-o

 

 

 

Damn. :wall:

That's my code of conduct: only bad boys have fun.

Sometime back in the fall, Lent created a thread about being different. I'll repeat what I posted there:

 

"Question everything. Take risks. Do the unexpected."

 

I wish I could live up to that. I rarely take risks, I'm more comfortable with a daily routine.

 

But it's not fun. Well, it is. But not as fun as it could be. Eh. I should still have plenty of years ahead of me to screw around with. (But alas, I'll never be a kid again)

Frankly I'd love to be Meursault.

 

 

 

I could live my life, regardless of what external forces wreak havoc upon it.

 

In fact, I've been so accustomed to this kind of drudgery that I rely on it.

My life is definitely very dull. It's the constant video games and wrestling that keeps it fresh and alive. Sometimes I wish that I can just walk down a corridor with a cool music playing as my entrance, it's so cool to do that. Hell, if my life were the life of wrestling on TV it would be so much more fun and I would gladly go to school.

 

:lol: You can fake it; sometimes I listen to my music through headphones and pretend that I'm in a TV show and music is playing for me.

 

... Only sometimes.

weekend skiing with ski patrol, between April 6 and December 11 are going to be some of the most depressing days i face, but only make the weekend in between some of the greatest weekend ever. just something about joking around with Daren, and hiding Stinky's poles, watching Randy and Tom butt heads but when a call comes in, the laughs stop, the arguments fade and we come all come together
