Everything Else / Re: Best Quote Lately Reincarnated

"The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.

The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists, what is, is and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced.

Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts nor are they a means to discover them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality; it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reasons light. In rejecting reason, refusing to think, one embraces death."

I will admit that I do enjoy the glory that is Chuck. Its funnier than I initially thought it would be.

I have faith that you will one day be out of that choir and move on. Until that day this coalition could use the funds that we can generate with your vocal talents. I'm with wilson "yay for exploitation". I actually like exploitation in general so this just works out.

Good luck to you there wilson. I hope you someday become helpful beyond your ability to correct me at every turn. ;D

Oh did anyone else notice that there were almost 1000 more posts on TWG over the month of December than any other month over the last year. Pretty crazy if you ask me. Not only that but SarahG beat me onto the most time online list and shes only ahead by like two hours. Oh I'll get her.

You could call it interesting.

Funny story: So like three weeks ago I had spent the night over this girls house. It was snowing a lot and roads were terrible so whatever. Anyway the next day the roads were still horrible so she offered to give me a lift home in her truck. I was happy with it so I said sure. So we're pulling out of her driveway and who pulls up behind us???  That's right. . . her boyfriend. So anyway she gets out and talks to him for like five mins in the blizzard while I sit in her truck. Can you say awkward anyone??? Anyway he ends up getting in the truck with us to give me a lift home. Now I lucked out because she hadn't been to my house yet so when we got to my neighborhood I had her drop me off near my house so that god forbid her boyfriend wouldn't know where I lived. I still don't know what she told him about me and frankly I don't care.

Rants and Stuff / Why I belong on Jerry Springer.

So lately I have been involved with a female that I like a good amount. It sparked some disturbing realizations in my head and I figures I would share them with everyone. It might make everyone feel a little bit better about them selves knowing a little bit more about me.

So I guess I will start with saying that I don't enjoy relationships. The longest one I have ever had was about nine months and that happens to be how long it took for my daughter to be born. There is just something about spending time with a woman on a personal level that I find irritating. That's not to say I don't like women, its just saying that I don't like to spend time with them. I know that's shallow and wrong but its true. I guess you can say that I have "flexible morals" and you will find out why if you continue reading.

I have found that the only time that I am interested in persuing a relationship with a woman is when she is unattainable. In the past I have "dated" a number of girls who have already been in a relationship. I don't know why, I just have. The mother of my daughter was actually just out of a year long relationship with someone I knew very well three days before she became pregnant. I got out of Army training and within three days she was pregnant. Before her the last girlfriend I had had also been dating someone when we first started seeing eachother. Since then I have only been interested in two girls. That means that I actually wanted to spend time with them instead of other things. Both of these girls have been "unattainable". The first one I met a month before she was going home to Ireland. We saw eachother a lot over that month and I liked her a lot. Then she moved back home.

Now I find myself in the same old predicament. I have been "seeing" this girl for about a month and a half now and she has a boyfriend. You would think this effects my selfesteam but it doesn't. It doesn't bother me at all really. I like her and we hang out a lot and talk all the time. You would think it would effect my morals, being involved with someone who is in a relationship. But then again I don't care. The way I see it is that she was the one who entered the committed relationship with this guy. I never committed anything to him so I'm not really wrong. No matter how many people tell me I am wrong anyway it still has no effect.

So in the end I have relized that I only want to be around girls who are with someone. No matter how much I hate drama I seem to go right for it. I can't explain to you why, I just do. These are reasons why I belong on Jerry Springer. All of these stories have many interesting details that I have left out but they are all the same in many ways.

Oh Ook how I've missed you. I guess we don't really join in the same threads anymore but that's ok. You frankness is refreshing.

Ok see there it is again, wilson coming to my rescue when I say something wrong. I mean how do I survive without you in my everyday life. I must say a lot of stupid things. I'm kidding.

Camel, the change is awesome.

Chaos, you just try it and you might find that you have a Great Mercenary after you free of charge. ;D

CthulhuKefka thanks man. I figured that until we get closer to St. Patys day I would switch back to the old reliable GreenMonsta. And I figured it wouldn't be the same without Wally.

To be honest, this thread dies from time to time. It will go months with only a couple of post to then be the most popular thread on the forum for a while. Now I don't think it will ever be as popular as it was a couple of months ago when there were hundreds of posts over a couple of days but it will always be fun.

Dead on! Sounds like your in my head. I've done my share of drinking in the past and to be honest I still drink almost every weekend. I'm currently 23 and I enjoy going out to bars and drinking and hanging out with friends and drinking. The thing is that I don't have to drink. I do drink fairly often and some might consider me an alcoholic but to me I'm just enjoying things that I like. On the other hand I am also a caffeine and nicotine addict. Those ones are though not to have urges for.

Oh I am not saying that addiction is a good thing especially when it comes to alcohol. And thanks wilson by the way. I can count on you to set me straight whenever I stray. I was saying that the "legal definition" provided by Shaggy was flimsy and didn't have much ground. I know addictions aren't always negative. Alcoholism is negative though. And if that's all it takes to be an alcoholic then I think its sad.

I am however proud of both Shaggy and his parents. For some reason this seventh or eighth grader has a firm grasp on alcohol and that's a really good thing. Good for you man. Don't let your views completely drive you away from experiences later in life but its good to see you are a smart person and I'm sure you will deal with those decisions correctly.

Ahh but you see that I didn't say alcoholic. I said addict. Just because someone said that having two alcoholic beverages a day for a week makes them something negative then what would people do if the same rule applied to coffee. I mean there are a lot of coffee addicts out there and it does contain an addictive drug (caffeine). I mean if you look at it, two drinks a day could be consumed during an evening meal and have no effect on the drinker, and a drink of wine is supposed to be healthy so I don't see what the "legal" definition has to do with anything.

The thing about that Shaggy is that threads tend to "evolve". There is a certain ebb and flow to a forum. Notice that your original post outlined the fact that bragging was the problem but then later you posted that it was sadder and he just responded to your new post.

I don't see a problem with drinking and we have to realize that kids are going to do it. Like mtlhddoc2 said, as long as there is a limit and the person can function and be successful then there isn't an issue. Technically a person isn't an addict unless the addiction has adverse effects on their life. So I could go home and get drunk every night as long as doing so didn't effect my job or life style.

Good references. I do remember him in Herculese and Xena. I have no idea what Sky High is but Burn Notice is a good show.

Ok so I procrastinated a little bit with the story. With the holidays and my daughters first birthday and everything I haven't had the time. It will be ready very soon I promiss. I wouldn't be too worried about any premature deaths for you, that isn't to say that Ben won't be busy. I need to go find some contracts.
