The last thread




And the rules:







Otherwise, enjoy

I need a new pair of shoes, and I was wondering if it really works if you write a nice letter to a shoe company they'll give you free stuff. My friend got a free packet of M&Ms when he and his friend were smashing them on the ground and found one that was seemingly unbreakable, then mailed it in with the letter saying, "Use this for breeding."

tee hee hee ... are you starting another shoe discussion in the little coffee shop, Doomed?

I once got a discount coupon from my sneaker company after I injured my foot, but I wouldn't recommend going that far to get a new pair of shoes.

I just bought two new pairs of running shoes, both of them Nike Shox. I've found that good shoes are essential to preventing injury while running.

I don't know about getting free shoes; I did have to pay for mine.

Good luck with the freebie-hunting.

Hey thans for believing me... and for a reward here is the picutre of that car I told you about... o... and thanks for the link... now I know how to post images... so thanks...



The weird thing is that after 3 hours all the water in the street was gone... it went down the drain thingy... so that is cool... but the bad news is that it is going to keep on raining for the rest of the week... or so the tv says... I also have other pictures if you want to see them...

P.S How do you make the pics smaller... that thing is huge...

I was thinking more along the lines of mailing an extremely flattering letter, but then that'd probably jsut get me a coupon.

Still, if I mailed flattering letters several times...

Well, yesterday I sold my motorcycle, and have now bought a new one.

I bought the 2006model of Harley Davidson Electra, of course I had to come up with half of the money myself...but at least I am happy with my new purchase, so tomorrow I'm out to drive.

Yeah I finally saw a guy riding one (I see them all the time in malls). The sound is fantastic.

Wow, speaking of shoes I'm glad I have my new pair. I used my old pair ob boots so frequently that I burned out the heels completly. Whenever I stepped down my socked heal would touch the ground. Now that was the worst.

Well, I suppose this is in response to posts in the last thread

@Ibis - It's quite easy to tell some guy on a forum that really. The girl I was talking about was someone I met on another forum. People online keep telling me I'm a nice person and stuff like this... It is very hard for me to accept because the same attitudes don't seem to be held in real life.

I don't really know what to do now... I was giving serious consideration to going back to martial arts, but earlier today my neck started aching for no reason (I was just walking and it suddenly started aching) so if it's not stopped by tomorrow evening I won't be able to. I think it would be good to go back. And also to maybe pick up a second art and do some more training.

But I will never be in a position to pick and choose. You can't really say that when you don't know me at all

----------------

@Treydog - It's clearly going to be easier to say that when you've got the benefit of experience. You're over twice my age (assuming I didn't just do maths horribly wrong. 30 + 17... ) so you have a much better grasp of these things. With everything sorted now you can look back and see that the past does not matter anymore. But, for me, I just can't see any future. Most of the time I haven't got a clue what I'll be doing the following day. I'm 21 and a bad luck magnet it would seem. I guess I'm just saying, think back to that age and remember what it was like without the life experience.

I also have no reason to really be happy right now... losing someone I cared about so much really hurts.

-------------------

Damn... sorry to hijack this thread. I've been doing it at The Pit a lot... the personal help/advice/vent/whatever thread there is mainly about me.

Ugh... in other news, still nothing in the job department. One of my friends started work today (and is currently pulling a 15 hour shift... rather him than me) but with everything I really lack the motivation to get on with it. I know I should start looking harder and start phoning about them, but... I just don't.

That was rather my point- experience has taught me that my despair was mistaken. I don't think I will go into the gory details of the depression that ruled my life from about age 15.... What I am trying to get at is that you must be complete in yourself before you can become part of a couple- 2 "partial" people trying to make one whole one doesn't work.

im calling on this from memory but, does anyone know what 'semper fi' means? or what language it is? it's latin i believe, semper meaning always

i've been playing some Metal Gear Sold 2: Substance a lot talely and i heard it mentioned. BTW MGS series = one of the best videogame series ever.

semper fi = forever faithful ... motto of the marine corp & it is Latin.

Ramirez, the martial arts idea sounds good. I hope that your neck heals soon. I was just judging from your pictures you posted that you will be attractive to girls, I'm not the only one who judges by looks ... but of course, personality is important too. You need time mostly to deal with what's happened. And Treydog is telling you the truth, many of us have been very shy, insecure and unsure of ourselves when younger. I was too.

I just wanted to tell Wolfie that I am so happy that his condition is something that they think he will outgrow. That is good news. And also that your body adapted to the low blood pressure.

...... i feel soo down..... well.... anyone know any good anti-depressants which are free, not painful, and legal? i dunno..... i just feel like this everytime i come home.... cant wait till i get to the marines...... hate my family(both my mother and fathers side, excluding my cousins and my only sister)... hate my friends.... hehe... judo isnt enough to channel my anger...... plz... any ideas would do....

Been there man, hard times though I wouldn't go for anti-depressants, they're only meant for chemical inbalances. I think the thing to realize is that we are in control over our reality and our condition. Most people feel helpless over their situation, but you're not, you can take some initiative and go after what makes you happy.

hehe.. i guess thats true... oh well.. i guess it was just a momentary feeling(which i feel on and off) but i dont know if thats normal for me to be happy at one moment, then sad, then angry again.....oh well...i guess i worked it outa my system for now(guitar playing can do wonders!) well thanx for the help doomed. and yes.. i do feel incontrol of my reality and my condition(somewhat) haha.... ty again

*goes back to playing somemore FLCL music *

I'm having the same problem handling depression recently so I figured I should try something new, something that I've never done before. I'm soon to head into the amateur boxing league...it may sound crazy but with a little luck I might actually make something of it...if not well, at least I tried. Boxing is something I've wanted to do for a while now and I'm just now getting old enough to do it(19), so I'm gonna try it.

As for anti-depressants, they never really worked for me mate so I can't recommend anything...they actually seemed to make me more depressed than before I started taking them, maybe a new hobby would help. Sorry but I can't tell you much else.

Dagoth, a helply advice from me, dont try to take medicine, they most likely make you feel even mroe down(they did that to me). Instead get to do something you like, me for example, if I get sad or angry at home, with my hubbie, I can always go out into the garage and fix on my motorcycle or car...or I could go out and drive, that makes me feel better, since I am doing something I like.

As for getting out agression, get a punchingbag, or start in a full contact sport, where youare allowed to figth with other people(me I go on Karate and Kung Fu), and that really gives me a chance to beat out some agression.

Also, I help myself when I'm depressed with playing on keyboard or guitar.

^ Basically what I just said, two people can't be wrong right?

I was just saying, you can mention your experiences, but when I lack my own its hard to put what you say into perspective. I'm sure you'd have felt the same way at my age if you had someone telling you this. I don't really know how I would go about feeling complete... I just feel so very empty now. I have done for a while, and losing my friend has just made that worse. So far this year I spent a few weeks where I actually felt as close to happiness as I can remember. Those weeks would be from when we admitted to liking each other, right up to her rejecting me. To be honest, I was ok before we started talking to her... not exactly happy, more... indifference. But, I'm sure you'd know how it feels. You get all your hopes up, think that everything is going to work out just fine and to have that all taken away... well, its a long drop.

-------------

@Ibis - thats very nice of you to say I just don't see myself as being an attractive guy. And personality wise... well, I guess I'm somewhat unusual. As most of my friends have said, I take a bi of time to get used to, but once they got to know me I seemed fine. Just means I stink at making a good first impression. I gues I do need time to deal with what happened too... but, I take more time than most people I think. Has been nearly 4 months since I was first rejected by her, and I'm still not over her. And because of that she wants nothing more to do with me its upsets me a lot really. She was the first internet friend I ever met and she was very important to me. now she's never going to speak to me again

I hope I can do some martial arts too tonight... the neck is feeling a bit better, but still not quite right. I may head down there and if its still aching when I get there, I'll just spectate.

------------

As for these anti depessants... well, I'd suggest going to see a doctor. Talk about it with the doctor and they may reccomend some medication or suggest some counselling. Sorted me out a couple of years back when I was feeling *really* low. The trouble with meds is that you need to find the ones that are right for you, which may take a little time.

I think a full contact sport will help too for agression. It's what I want to try tonight, but damn this bloody neck

Well today I'm going to look a little deeper into if I'm gonna go down to Kristiansand or not. Got the program for each days and looks like Tuesday is the only day really worth travelling down for (even thought it's a bloody five hour drive)

But anyway... On Tuesday:

• Torch
• The School
• Wolfmother
• Opeth
• We Are Scientists
• Placebo
• Arctic Monkeys
• Tool
• Sway
• Leela James
• Kelis

Bought some records and many of those are pretty good... Don't think I will play 80$ for the rest of the days unless maybe Friday.

Good thing is that a friend of mine, who I would be going with - his grandparents (if I'm not all wrong) lives down there... It's 10 min with boat and 10 min drive to get to where the stage.

So the only REAL problem is the drive... Maybe my friends brother could do it, he could join us

Drugs = Teh Suxxorz (any kind actually, I say let my body fight it off.. Unless I'm dying )

Find something that makes you laugh, as silly as that sounds its the best thing for you. Watch a funny movie, go hang out with friends.

Just try not to break the law...

That....was a good advice! You are a very wise and clever young man Channler!!!

Yes, Channler has the right idea .. something to laugh about. And Ramirez has the best advice about drugs. If you think you need anti-depressants, you definitely need a doctor to prescribe them to you. Anything you can buy over the counter claiming to be a mood elevator is very likely bogus and just wants your money.

We seem to have alot of people here who are suffering from depression in some degree. I guess that is normal for your general age group (late teens.) Some people know the source of their depression - a breakup, family tensions, etc. - - some seem less specific.

Activity is the best remedy for depression, even clinical or chemical depression. Do some exercises, go to your martial arts lessons, do boxing or do some enjoyable activity like bike riding, driving your car, etc. Even mental activity as in playing a video game can be a good combatant to depression. The worse thing is to lay around thinking about it, worrying, feeling sorry for yourself.

Just remember that we all have problems in life and it's not those problems that define your life but how you dealt with them that matters.

haha.... thanks for the ideas..... well... back to my macaronni and root beer!

Course I have the best advice about anti depressants - I used to be on them (I've been a lot worse in the past). You'd need to work with a GP to find out which one is right for the individual. It might be right first time, you may need to try others. The only problem is that theres no instant effect, they take a little time to work.

I never made it to the dojo today... my neck is in no shape to take that kind of physical activity. Shame, I wanted to go back. I'm hoping it will be in better shape on Thursday.

I also know sitting around feeling sorry for myself isn't much good. But at the moment, so many people are busy with things, so it's difficult to go out and meet up with someone.

Am really missing my friend at the moment we used to talk to much...

Go, if only for Opeth.

I'll probably kill myself if you don't go see them.

Oh dear Danny ... killing by association. Weird!

School... is finally OVER! Damn I danced on the road back with all my friends lol, got a few weird looks when I started swinning around posts like a stripper

But damn, it's good - two months of vecation has come, three years of that school is offically over and three new years lie ahead... but enough of about that, I love everyone here...!

weee yay for you fuzzy. Still have to goto school till next wensday and then I'm free for 2 months 2. Vacation here I come...crap...I guess I have to get back to work . Final week is always kinda stressy x-x but hey I will survive!

Awww and we definitely LOVE YOU Fuzzy!!!!

And I do hope you´ll have a wonderful vacation!!!

Ive been outta school for awhile now.

Im enjoying being able to sleep later than 6:00 a lot. And not having to stress over large projects, and stuff like that now.

Currently end of year tests are easy (Born in 1992, so they should still be simple) But Ive seen stuff of next year's, and they dont seem as easy anymore
Looks like Im gonna have to study, which I rarely do..

I also recieved my new sound card, the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum...And my god it made a HUGE difference. Its not a cheap card, but the difference is amazing. Anyway, I found it 130 dollars off normal price. I was making it sound like a movie theater in my own room! And oblivion is awesome!

Now I just have to get that 20.1 inch widescreen LCD and Im set for games

This Friday I finish off Gr.12 with my Calculus exam. So I'm really looking forward to getting that done and starting my vacation. Hopefully my job won't start my extra hours in the morning, I really enjoy sleeping in. I think my summer is going to consist of working on my fanfic, work, late nights, and hanging out with friends, and probably getting my driver's license where I don't need someone in the car with me. I've really been lazy on getting that accomplished

Just wondering - have anyone here downloaded and tried Windows Live Messenger?

*grabs his warm nighttime coffee*
Hullo again, good people. I was away for last 8 days, helping my mother & father finish the last part of our willage house: the woodwork on floor It was preety hard stuff, and in the process I managed to get one of my trademark flu's (7 days of sneezingand mucus rolled into 24 hours, AWFUL), but we somehow managed to push trough and finish every little bit... now, our house in Beloljin (dad's willage, he was born there) is complete and we can start getting furniture in the next month In the meantime, i'm sweating here like a boiled potato... also, I will have some pictures soon, I hope, and will show them to youz (if my HDD doesen't die completely by then).

nah what's the difference? I noticed the ad today so I was also kinda wondering what it was :/

Well well Mil, at least the house is finished now right - getting a flu isn't fun thought. Post some pictures soon then (in the Real Picture thread) so we can see how the house and stuff looks

Hmmm, last time Fuzzy posted some pics from his trip they didn't like it because he himself wasn't in them. Make sure to post pics of the house that you are in, Mil. That is so nice that you got the house all done. And welcome back & I'm glad the flu didn't last longer. The flu is so nasty to go through.

I think I did download that Msn messenger and the strangest thing was that it said "This is for wondows 2000" which is what I am running. I just deleted it, if it can't detect what OS I'm running it can't be very good.

Will oblige [with pics], good people of Chorrol... but maybe not that fast since it is an old Communist Russian 36mm Cammera and I still have dosen shots to take... but that's good news, too, since you'll get to see my beloved dirty old town of Nis, as I've seen it for the last 26 years.

Anyway, I've just read this:

a good and solid advice. And here's one of the perfect antidepressants: UnCyclopedia, the world's most insane online encyclopedia and also home of the Original Pimp Daddy, Oscar Wilde

Fuzzy, my friend uses Windows Live Messenger. He hates it, he says it makes conversations look really weird and harder to read, especially between him and people with older versions of MSN.

whoa, i'm back guys hope you didn't miss me too much. i've been really busy with sports, skool, my new gf so ya what have you guys been up to.

Hmm ok - Well, I'm gonna check with some of my friends what they think... Doesn't sound too bad, but as we've experianced so many times; it ends up having a lot of bugs.

So, Midsummer's Eve is here. Kind of snuck up on me too. We were assigned a bunch of patrols through the nearby city to make sure that none of the other soldiers are misbehaving. Sounds reasonable, until you hear that the majority of the brigade is home, spending the Midsummer together with their families. Due to that there are zero militaries around here for us to keep an eye on (not counting ourselves obviously).

Not only that, but the entire city seemed empty. I'd say there were about 30-40 people moving about in the core of the city. That's a really small number considering the 2000 or so that live in the area. I guess everyone is either elsewhere at some major concert or other event or then they're sitting home, preparing for tomorrow.

Midsummer '05 was a bit different, that's for sure. Almost everyone were spending their Midsummer on their own or the neighbour's backyard, having a barbeque or something similar. Some obviously went to the beach or a concert, but you could still run into a lot of people in the close vicinity of your house.

Perhaps it's just this city, though.

Rane, I had no idea you were in the military what branch/type of armed forces are those ?

Glad to hear that everyone's getting out of school and going to chill and have a nice summer. Since summer officially began yesterday, I will wish everybody a Happy Happy Summer from Florida ... and don't forget your beachtowel

Click on your beachtowel - lol

I have to say that is a very.... detailed towel Ibis

Unfortunately me and the sun do not get along very well, it tends to burn me quite easily so I'm going to forgo the beach trip....

Now, as for nighttime skinny dipping.... kidding!

Have an awesome summer everyone!

tee hee hee Metal Mallet, nighttime is the time to swim!

The beachtowel is what Daytona Beach looks like most days ... at least near RonJon's Surf Shop beach where there are scads of biker folk.

Wherever you are, everyone have an awesome summer, k?

Military Police. 9 months filled with thrilling intense action accompanied with a constant feeling that you are doing something meaningful and rewarding.
