I was remembering when Nexodyne was a place where we all just shared what was going on in our lives, and commented on how shitty or great it was.

So let's do just that in this thread. I don't care if it's a single line or a wall o' text.. You can brag or bitch. Just enlighten me as to why you love or hate your life right now.

I'll start:

I'm pretty unhappy with my life. I got laid off a couple months ago, it was a pretty high-paying job for my age -- $22 an hour, with full benefits. I had just moved into my apartments a few months before the layoff, and when I moved into my apartments, I also quit selling drugs. I figured I could make it in life legit, especially because I had a great job.

Figures right as I choose to go legit, I lose my job. Anyway, right after losing my job, everyone who owes me money stops talking to me and goes dark. Keep in mind I have about $3,000 owed to me by various people, around $500-$1000 each. A lot of these people were my good friends, and it's unfortunate that I'm having to resort to threaten them to get my money back.

I'm a month behind on rent, two payments behind on my car, unemployment is so ridiculously backed up that I won't get my first check for another few weeks.. and I have yet to find a new job.

I'm probably going to end up moving back in with my parents.. I'm getting back into selling drugs to make money again, and the bank may be repossessing my car.

Also, I basically have 0 friends now, because everyone I was close to owes me money, and I've either threatened them to get the money back, or they're just too scared / ashamed to even talk to me.. There were times I'd call them just to hang out, not even talking about money, and they wouldn't answer 'cause they were afraid it was about the money.



Now it's your turn. Tell me why your life is better than mine, rub it in my face... or tell me why your life is shittier than mine so I can feel happier!

It's like a group therapy session.

Don't mean to rain on your parade, but that's definitely not love.

Being in love takes months, if not years. I've been going out with my girlfriend for damn near a year, and I love her, but I still don't know if I'm in love with her.

You're infatuated.


Also, breaking news:

I just got an eviction notice in the mail today.

Truth be told, I hate/love my job. But... I'm happy as hell to have a job. The two positions I turned down in IT were just abolished (layoffs, poor guys). I ended up taking the job in HR with the government, which is the complete opposite of everything I've ever wanted my whole life. I have a passion for complex problems and software... but I am pretty awful at them. All in all, this job was probably the best thing that's happened to me.

HR brings something new every day. It's not quite as boring as I thought it would be; things can be as complex or as simple as you make them. I spend at least a day a week shaking things up at work. In the words of my boss at my interim review: "You have taught us how to laugh, how to be a team, and how to argue." I regularly brief civilian managers and military officials, something that I used to be deathly afraid of. The stress has been bad for my health, but I'm working on taking care of that.

Overall, I'm happy as hell to be working. Now if I could just get these relationship issues taken care of.

I have a great job at Staples right now, I'm an easytech and I fix computers for shitheads. I probably owe my knowledge of computers to you guys who helped me since I was maybe 11 years old. Pay at my job is 7.95 an hour plus bonuses. Some weeks it makes out to be about 10 dollars an hour after taxes and bonuses, and some weeks it makes out to be 18 dollars an hour after taxes and bonuses, it just depends how much shit people bring in to be fixed. I'm going to Case Western Reserve University in the fall to study pre-med. I often think about how much this is going to suck because medicine is supposed to be real hard, but I remember that it's the only way I'll ever become immortal is if I discover it by myself.

Rick

That fucking made my day. If you do discover the secret to immortality, remember me. I'd love a few hundred thousand shares of your company before you go public with that information.


Other news:

Someone has been pounding on my door. Like nonstop, ringing the doorbell, and straight up pounding on the door. I don't know who they are, but it's only happened twice. Once was around 11 am, and I didn't answer since I thought it was a friend of mine that I didn't want to see. By the time i looked through the peep hole, I saw a black man leaving -- not in a uniform or anything. Didn't recognize the guy.

Then again last night (same day as the first event), around 9:00 PM.. same thing. Knocking and ringing. Nonstop for around 10 minutes, this time as soon as I looked, I saw a white guy leaving with some sort of papers.

I'm wondering if it's the apartments to let me know I'm evicted? Next time they knock I'll answer. The only reason I didn't before is I was a bit worried it was the police, since I have a record and may possibly have a warrant out.

I would never go public with something like that, shit like that would destroy the world. I'm very serious about it, though. I don't want to treat ungrateful people as a doctor, I want to sit in a lab all day making myself and perhaps a few others live forever. I'll let you know if i discover anything else though of course, shares galore. Nexodyne would never need donations.

If any of you are adventurous, and believe that there's more around us than what we just see, mystycism, zen, or anything along that nature i suggest you pick it up.


Have you read 2012 return of the Quetzcoatl by David Pinchbeck, I have 10$ to bet you'd love it, and I'd pay 10$ just to have someone to talk about that book with. The last 100 pages are shitty though.

I just finished School, as long as everything goes right I'll be getting a going to OU to start on a letters degree. Life as a pizza delivery guy really isn't bad, I make 13-16 on average a night, most of it goes untaxed, and Oklahoma doesn't have a very high cost of living. No relationship problems, but that's just because I can't stay in one. Life is good, I play disc golf, work, hang out with friends, stay involved with multiple lovers, and get baked :).

Barely dodged the eviction.

What happened:

On Feb 27th, I deposited a check for $1,300. It was a debt owed to me by my friend. He charged it on his credit card (It was a courtesy check or whatever), and my bank said it would take 2-3 weeks to clear. I was fine with that.

3 weeks pass, nothing. Even more time passes, still nothing in my account.

On March 12th, the check cleared on my friend's side.. They even took out the $1,300. I still didn't get shit.

I spent 4 hours in the bank yesterday proving I deposited the check, they ended up finally finding their error and crediting my account. I owed my apartments $1,800 for late + attorney fees, so I'm good to live here another 10 days till rent is due again.

04-30-2009, 05:15 PM
What school Ridicule? U of A?
More or less, yeah. I'm accepted to both U of A as well as Grant MacEwan which has a one year Engineering transfer program (to the U of A generally, but also U of Calgary and a couple other schools). There is no GPA penalty, you're guaranteed a spot as long as you keep your GPA above a 2.0 (on the 4.0 scale) or a C- minimum. All of the schools that feed to the U of A with a similar transfer program have no penalty as to the seeding/choosing of specializations. Students, regardless of whether they spent their first year at the U or A or not, are all compiled into a list, GPA high to low, and the highest gets their first pick. On top of that, it's about $1k cheaper for the year and with my RESP in the gutter I really need to save as much as I can because I'd love to be graduated with no debt. Classes are 60-70 students vs 150+ and you can legit spend time with profs so I'm doing that :P

It's not like I'm getting a community college Engineering degree, hahah.

So basically I'm 99% sure I'm going into the transfer program at GMac and then eventually getting my B.Sc in XX Engineering from the U of A.

cause that shit isn't even funny


the way I see it, one's actions determines how their life turns out

ex - i don't study on time, I get low grades, I feel bad, dont get good job, etc etc.

taking one's life just because life blows is douche-baggery movement imo, either face it like a man (because billions of people are and you are not alone) , or if you are taking the easy way out then at least have fun doing it and I have my right to laugh at whatever I want bcuz they probably won't be around long enough to see me laughing

You only have one chance to live, and the thing about living, you have free will. Life is what you make it, but if you kill yourself you take away your one chance to live. Why would anyone want to do something that fucking wasteful.

Rick
05-01-2009, 05:47 AM
so say that/explain in the first place.

how many cases where a kid does in fact go commit suicide because someone says some stupid shit.
yeah he may be whining but cut the kid some slack his best friend just died fuck man, how would you feel if you couldn't talk/see/anything anymore to someone that's close.


yeah i'm a sensitive fuck and you know what i'd rather be real than play who's got the bigger whanger
really how hard is it to say something nice to someone? I'm not saying dont be an asshole at all but pick your words a little more carefully sometimes
You should learn to take a joke. Being 'sensitive' doesn't mean being a bitch who can't learn to laugh at things. Yes, things including death.

You need to learn that people get over things by laughing about them. It's part of what helps them cope, whether they admit it or not. It doesn't make them insensitive; quite the opposite.

It's not a show of who's a bigger badass by making a joke out of someone committing suicide. It wasn't a fucking murder. He did it himself. Stop feeling sorry for someone who obviously just wanted to end his life. It wasn't taken from him, he did it himself.

Jesus christ, lighten up.

Bid, if your the one who banned Elite, thats fucked up.

I've had a couple of people in my life go out on there own terms, none that were as close as a best friend but even so, its a sad deal. Elite has contributed more to this forum than most any of us, banning him because he made you upset when you were going through menopause is fucked up.

05-01-2009, 01:43 PM
I'm going to try big post: abridged. (AKA Medium Post)

Bid: I can understand where you're coming from. I've had something very similar happen to me twice and you know what? Telling people online isn't something you should do. You wouldn't post about this shit on /b/, so why would you go a step down and post it on Nexodyne?

Elite: Just a bit too soon there.

Square: Are you really so surprised?

Rick: Cocks.

When something really bad happens to you or someone you love (intimately or merely as a friend) you're prone to stupidity. It's something that should be made to be excused by all of us who try to turn everything into a joke or who would criticize him simply because it's not the way we would react or if we didn't know exactly where he was coming from.

So there, I didn't even get to the scroll bar on the post box.

Update:

Got called back into work, gonna be moving out of my apartment next month and moving in with a friend.. Paying $750 for a 1 bed / 1 ba, splitting it so it'll be $375 which is a nice change from the $1100 I'm paying now.


The only catch is that the apartments I'm moving into is located on 35th street in Oakland, CA. The street is in a pretty bad neighborhood.. That area is known as the "dirty 30s", but that's okay considering what my 'second occupation' is.

Things are looking much better, and will hopefully be improving very soon. I'm pretty hopeful and optimistic about life right now.

Despite my profile age (20) being an obvious lie, I'm graduating sometime this October and hopefully becoming the Asian abomination my parents always wanted by not going to university and doing some science shit and instead going to waste money and bum around in Canada. (http://www.whpcanada.org.au/introduction.shtml)

I'm mostly looking forward to it, mainly because I want to be as far away from my life/country (aka shithole) as possible and the plain fact that I want to build a snowman.

And hopefully before my vista expires, I'll meet a Canadian guy, pop out an anchor baby or two, then await the sweet embrace of death.
stop using the goddamn strikeout tags, holy shit

My life is fucking awesome

My daily schedule Mon-Fri:

0630 - 0730: Physical training
0730 - 0830: Recovery
0830 - 1130: "Work"
1130 - 1300: Lunch
1300 - 1630: "Work"

This means that I "work" for roughly 6 and a half hours, which according to Office Space rules is roughly about 15 minutes of real actual work. The great thing about working for the active armed forces is that I get paid regardless of work hours I actually put in.

How I got from Neopets to USMC is beyond me but it's been real

a friend of a friend of mine was wondering if you have semen on your hand then fall asleep and then like 5 hours later are fingering a girl, is it possible she's impregnated/how likely?

Pretty weak actually

Given my estimated 53 "work" hours over two weeks I would get paid about $650 or roughly $1300 monthly or $12.25 hourly if you look at those ways

However on the upside:

No rent
No water/electrical fees
No medical fees
Food services provided
Earn 2.5 days off per month
You get every government holiday off (which is good considering my last job was retail sales and it's kinda exactly the opposite)

Also:

I get promoted (hopefully) July = Pay raise
I hit my two year mark in September = Pay raise
Fiscal year 2010 = Another pay raise

Probably the only thing that's going to suck is when I go to Afghanistan next year but it's all good because you get paid more while you're over there

pretty decent for the amount of work required I guess - so is it an all out sausage fest environment at your workplace or are there potential poontangs too?

Statistics are about 10 dudes to every 1 lady and I believe that is the same throughout the Marine Corps. If you're joining the military for the ladies or for the lulz then I hear Air Force is where it's at

I have two warrants which will be $456 to get rid of. Then I have to pay to get my license unsuspended. Yay.

Sometimes life can have you down...but why hate life? Without it, there is nothing. It is a waste of time to hate life. You only get to live once, love it and enjoy it.

i can't say i love my life, i'm working on a 10 page thesis paper for my AP US history class and an english essay that's due tomorrow

but i can't say i hate it either

from hearing stories of you guys, it's too early for me to understand what life really is

i'm going to college in a year, probably a mid-tier UC

any advice for living by/supporting yourself in college?

what happens when i get out of college?

sometimes i really take the stuff i have for granted

If I didn't feel nauseated and sick all the time I'd be swell. Right now I feel miserable and depressed. 2 weeks solid like this.

No that's just what she says about her drug money, in case you were law enforcement.
