kahljorn See I'm all boozed up now:

The problem with the united states is that sometimes people don't pay attention to what they are doing.

Discuss?

kahljorn ya dude but i think they love pretending they are intellectuals by spouting your "Ideas" even more than they love me. I gues they like pretending like they are you pretending you're an intellectual!

See you're a dumb cunt and you're just slightly below the coozeness of the average cuntface. What's to love oh maybe I should take some booze so I can delude myself.

Ah hah, but what if the girl puts her tongue in his mouth? This is success.

If you take care of yourself, you can be active and alert and full of joy no matter what age you are.

Me? I've been depressed and angry and bitter about my future as well. I'm going to get some counseling myself because I took a hard look at my problems and realized that I have anxiety and depression. I'm not sure how harsh, but I'm willing to go get them checked out. I guess I'm lucky: I never felt the need to do drugs or imbribe more than I could handle. But depression is a bitch.

The worst part about it to me is that it takes all the joy out of the cool things I do in life.
My counselor is Herr Jagermeister.

But seriously, go and do it; have a great time; really find a good thing for you to do and try to ignore stress.

You will never make everyone happy and you will never have moments free of stress or burden.

You can really do a great job.

Talk to a counselor because it will be good for you and find some good grounding.

Sometimes it is a good idea to cry.

This was a really good one.

It's not the goal, it's the journey; it is not the end of the revolution and the new state, it is the revolution itself.

Life is the struggle.

When you get the fruits it is just time to struggle again for the higher hanging, sweeter tasting fruits.

Fathom Zero I feel like shit so I'm going to give up a lot of my video games and internet things and reflect in the mountains.

Seriously.

Fat_Hippo I think I'm happy, though I'm not really sure. Sometimes, in private moments...I just don't know who I am...I usually just push it aside, but somtimes I just don't know.
It seems like I always act how people expect me too, and usually that works, but it does leave me in an identity crisis...ah well, fuck it. I'm happy when I'm not thinking about who I am or something really shitty just happened, which is most of the time, so I've gotta stop thinking so much.
I'm just gonna have to try to hold my shit together over the next few months, and stay away from bad influences: In 2 months I'm turning 16, which means I will be able to legally buy alcohol, and in 2 months I will also be discovering wether I can pass into the next grade without a test, which would mean, that as long as my worst 3 grades hold a certain minimum, my grades won't count for shit. So I can't let myself go on a 4-month drinking binge, though I generally consider myself smart enough to resist tempatation, but who knows.
Enough whining, who else has got problems?

Dr. Boogie But what about when the lions start lying down with the lambs? That'll be pretty lame.

Fine advice there, KK. Who needs video games and stuff when you can have open sores on your genitals and a pickled liver?

MetalMilitia Someone smart once said "if everyone stopped trying to be happy all the time they could probably have a pretty good time". To me that made a lot of sense.
