How can you tell that by looking at my picture? About laughter I mean. I'm just standing there in a (cold) room staring at the camera.

I'm beginning to believe if there is a god and I do face him at the gates of heaven (hopefully many years from now, touch wood) that he may send me to hell for wasting so much time on this damn website.

If you don't like this thread, just leave. Really, this is one problem that is easy to solve.

A picture is worth a thousand words. I'll bet dollars to donuts that you do have a sense of humor.

Too fucking true.

I was a depressed mopey fuck when I was a kid. And I'm a depressed mopey fuck now. But, god made beer whiskey and st. john's wort, so it's all good. Self medication works great. ooh, and music and good coffee.

Thing is dj, you are so focussed on the bad mights, but completely dismissing our good mights. Why so one sided? Wouldn't a logical analytical approach have to acknowledge that mights are mights?

I still say the same thing I said in March. Go on an adventure. Hell, I've got a wife kids job mortgage... If I could have my youth back, I would set out to ride bike around the world. Or sail. Or hitchhike to peru. Hell I don't know. But why waste your freedom with a bullet? Do it for us old farts. And learn some gallows humor for chrissakes. not enough mick in this kid.

but seriously, you've wasted half a year of your life worrying about something that is essentially unknowable. What else could you have done with half a year? what good did all this worrying do you?

Not sure I mentioned that I purged it from my mind somehow (good critics like Lynch or Hutter?) for about 4 months and had the best summer of my life. I worked at Salvation Army summer camp as a counselor and made friends from South America, England, Germany and Tonga. Lived in the woods of Oregon without a care or worry in the world and reached kids at the same time. Truly a great summer.

So don't assume I was locked in a room rocking back and forth all this time. I guess the Hurricanes and "no spare capacity" brought me back.

Of course I do. I'd like few things better than to be able to revive it. I've always been pretty cynical, ironically because I'm a Christian. (I mean, why not be a misanthropist? We're destined to fail as a species). Just don't see how that picture gives you the thousand words you need to know about it. Something about "outies" perhaps?

Hear hear, I don't know either mg but it would certianly involve wearing my pecker down to a nub, a lorryload of vaseline, 20,000 condoms, 10,000 litres of Jameson 12 year old and the entire female cast of Riverdance.

Mad: Thanks for your input as well, but given what people here are saying, I don't see why the future is really any question.


Allright. I've figured it out. That quote above is the problem. You never had the future to lose to PeakOil or global warming or giantasteroidsfromspace in the first place.

In the meantime, your precious life-time is passing you by. Wasted another day here at mopeyanddoomer.com. Hitchhike your ass down to south america and start a blog so us old men can live vicariously now. Make yourself useful. I hear argentina is beuatiful and relatively cheap.

Kinda funny. But I still don't get how you can deduce my sense of humor from a single snapshot.

Is somebody whispering in your ear that this is a waste of time? So why keep coming back? Answer: the people here are such an interesting mixture, a real cross-section of humanity. There's redneck hillbillies in fishin' gear with beer, sarcastic but funny Germans, Nihilists, Anarchists, Nazis, Commies, earnest Environmentist, People Glad The World Is Ending, Women Prison Guards (!), Poet Wannabes ( :) ), Gun Nuts, Cat Lovers, Cat Abusers, Kids Who Are Too Smart To Be Kids, P-Sters Packing Plenitutes Of Perfect Prose, Jaded Literature Professors Who Prefer Fiddle Music To Literature, in short, PeakOil.com is a cool place to hang out, that's why you waste your time here!

Okay, that's strange. I was responding to the above post, but my post was put ABOVE yours. How does that happen?

PS. No way I expected the thread to balloon this way. I do still appreciate any and all input.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')ot one damn clue how many times I can say why that's a bullshit idea.


Yep. You're right. Everyone else is wrong and you are right. That's logic. You say you come to these boards because other PO aware people should "understand your thinking." Well, apparently no one does. So either you've got the wrong audience for your drama, you've got the right audience and are not thinking clearly, or you're a troll and attention whore. Yep, you got some with this post, but I won't be quoting you further in any replies.

Now, onto other more pleasant replies.

Madpaddy,

I'd gladly take you up on your invitation, and after reading your posts tonight, I'd bring you a bottle of Alize just for occasions such as this. :) Thanks for the laughs.

:lol: I literally laughed out loud when I read that - and realized you're probably also right. Wasted time is no less precious than wasted resources. Time we could have been doing some good, perhaps.

This one nearly made me spit my tea all over tha monitor, I was laughing so hard. :lol: :lol:

Okay then. Drink yourself into a stupor. That's a way to go. Piss and moan because our "consumer driven society" has brought us to this point and then just consume and waste your time gettin sloshed. WHy didn't I see the light before?

Also, I just don't think anyone's getting my point. This ain't no clinical depression. Just tell me how many times I have to say it to get that point accross. That's what professionals help with. Visiting any of them about this is petty much just a waste of time and money.

I dont' see why you would waste your time on this thread just to harp on me.

Your precious liquor comes from oil by the way.


Right. It's depression arising from the TRUTH about the FUTURE which you may never see anyway. I don't trust ppl who know the TRUTH, and I don't trust people who know the FUTURE. docs know drugs and that's more useful than a whole website full of FUTURE-TRUTH knowing doomers. Ppl that can tell you the TRUTH about the FUTURE are doing bad science or bad religion.

ps, Jamisons has been around longer than oil. And MP can say for sure, but I'm told that in USMick bars, Jamisons is the Catholic drink.

So what is your point DJ? You're not depressed; it's everybody else who's delusional and should just give up?
