I'm doing alright for myself!

Sure... my first career choice (moving up within the JW's) didn't work out seeing as I left and am now shunned by everyone I knew my entire life growing up, and my second one (Army) I was able to do for 2 years before being medically discharged.

Went loony for a bit.

Got my shit together and now I have a job I love, a good woman by my side, and a purpose in life.

Life is the best right now for me than it has ever been.

Still can't build a dog ramp for shit.

:D

asshole

LMAO

:LOL:

Dreams of being a pilot.


today?.....not even close.
:grr::D


Oh well; that's why this is "Dreams vs. Reality"

I'm in 'realtiy' at this point.

Well, it's good to know that I'm not alone in knowing that my reality isn't what I thought it would be. Whether it's good or bad has yet to be determined, but I can't tell you how good it feels to get over the helpless feeling of not having full control. I'll control what I can, and just roll with the punches. I'm even learning to punch back sometimes. :D

I haven't given up on my dreams. But I better hurry up, lucidity is growing in shorter supply every single day.

You know, I'm getting kinda sick of this whiny-ass crap.

If your "reality" isn't what you wish it to be, how about making a change in your life? Huh? Ever think about that? Mr. Bob Dole just started a thread about how he lost a 31 year old friend in an accident. That could be any one of us at any time. My most sincere and heartfelt advice is to stop whining about what "might have been" and, if you aren't happy, make a bold change and start upon a new path. Crap on a Triscuit, what's the worst that could happen? You live outside your safety zone for awhile? God almighty.

Yep.

We're going through some financial issues etc due to massive reduction in income etc; but doing what we can - and won't be bullied by creditors etc. had a conversation tonight that went something like "I've paid you what i can each week for 8 weeks; if that's not good enough, let me know. I'll keep the money. I could use it"

F em. :mad::D

:spock: Who's being whiny?

You sure you're reading the same thread I am?

viva la FAX!!!

I would love to take that advice. However, I've got a little debt to dig my way out from under. Couple of years, and who knows? Maybe I can go back to school. Maybe I'll be married. Maybe I'll be forced to live outside of my comfort zone. We can have the best of intentions, but, even controlling what we can, we never know what the future has in store for us.

The point of the thread wasn't to whine. It was simply to compare your reality with what you thought it would be. Or maybe I'm whining and should just shut up....lol.

I'm just practicing for when somebody does say something whiny, Mr. KcMizzou. Being prepared, you know?

FAX

Heh, gotcha.

When I was in school, I thought that doing just about anything would be better than being in school, and I'm yet to be proven wrong.
