Sounds like you get the picture pretty well, Cari :slight_smile:

To answer a question from your post, no my parents did not “allow” me to spread my wings. They cut me off financially when I was 18 or 19 in an attempt to curtail me. My response? Fuck you, I will do it myself… and the best part of that was that I did it!

It really is satisfying to know that I made everything happen in spite of them. There were a few times that I would some how get in their good graces and they would do a few things, but the minute I did something they didn’t like, BAM it was gone. I got tired of them having things to hold over my head, so finally I took all their power away and it was awesome! Been that way ever since.

I wish it didn’t have to be this way or the way it’s been since I can remember, but there comes a point when you’re just tired of all the BS. I want peace and if she can’t give me that, then I will wait till she can. I’m done going on her terms. She can tow the line or stay away and that’s how it’s going to be.

And as for Makenzie, I told Mom they could talk to or see her whenever they want…but she can stay her ass at a hotel :slight_smile:

I … will do … anything … that this pizza tells me to do.

Holy God I can’t believe it’s real, it’s that good.

I was watching Big Brother last night and noticed that the person who wins the head of the house gets to pick just one single CD album to be able to listen to for a week. Got me wondering what single phish album that I’d pick?

#9084

Stop wondering, you’d pick Junta.

Oh My GOD!! Thor!.
but whos at the end of the trailer when they ask if its one of starks?

#9086

It’s lies, all lies. Thor lives. He live here on the OKP. They can’t fool me.

Looks like it could be good if they don’t screw up the story too much.

good call, good call

on a side note, I burned to dvd '80’s cult classic ‘Howard the Duck’ last night and look forward to screening it tonight. It’s been so long since I seen it, can’t remember if it rules or not but I think I like it!

I’m pretty jealous of you Detroit motherfuckers going to see Ween tonight. I expect some deets tomorrow.

Here is the front page lineup of our local Sunday comics: Peanuts “classics” (reruns), Dilbert, Garfield, For Better or Worse reruns. Could there be a more crappy outdated dinosaurish comics page? Way to keep up the old fashioned status quo, Observer Dispatch. I hope there are other papers out there who actually give newer, younger comic artists a chance.

Guys, I’m fucking sick of this. I’m almost 20 and haven’t been able to score a better job than a fucking cook at a local fast food joint. What makes it worse is that I live in a small town so business is pretty limited, and where I work is the only place that’ll hire high school graduates. I’d get the hell out of this town if I could actually drive too, but I’ve failed every damn test I’ve ever taken. I’m socially awkward, even my only other co-worker fucking hates my guts. I have repressed lust for one of my best friends too; she’s athletic, smart and a gorgeous southern bell. I love her. You know what it’s like; I’ve been friend zoned real hard. She’s my only real friend, besides this one kid, who I’m pretty sure is only hanging around me because he is mentally challenged. I guess he’s the only one that can tolerate me. And what makes this all fucking worse is that I live in a fucking pineapple under the sea.

Just putting it out there.

^ Dude, don’t get too down if you can help it. I understand where you’re coming from in pretty much every sentence in that paragraph. Everyone is having a tough time right now; the economy is all fucked up. Hell, in my town, you’d be lucky to even have the job you have. Also, being 20 with limited work experience doesn’t exactly make you very qualified for many jobs, so don’t be too discouraged. Most people who are young and inexperienced don’t have good jobs. Working a shitty job is just something you have to do in order to make ends meet until you can find a better job. Don’t worry man, life is good, and just because it’s sometimes hard to believe that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Just keep plugging away, things will improve. :thumbup:

Rusty-

Keep your chin up man! Life comes at you pretty hard sometimes, but karma is real…believe it. Good things happen to good people. Just make sure you are, and always continue to be, one of those good people. The girl-best way is to just go balls out and tell her how you feel…at an appropriate time, of course. As far as the driving, I don’t know…maybe you are better off not driving. It is an unnecessary expense, especially if you live in a small town. You mentioned not being able to leave the small town…where there is a will there is a way. Maybe leaving is not in the best thing to do, though…especially if your southern belle is there. :wink: Good luck man, the OKP is always gonna be here for ya!

#9094

I don’t know. If she’s laying down the friends message, no sense in blowing that up, especially if he’s feeling isolated. I would say just enjoy the time you spend with her. If it comes around, it comes around.

As for the job shit, just remember that this isn’t the end of the road. You just have to decide what direction you want to go, and then figure out what it will take to get you there. That said, deciding your direction can sometimes be the hardest part, so give it some serious thought.

#9095

Do I really have to be the one that points it out? Okay…

#9096

:wave:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

The responses to the post were even funnier than the original post!

#9098

Brah, you’re 20.

It’ll be OK. Life is hard, but it gets better. I promise.

#9099

well played.

Neil still didn’t get it.
