Mediocrity at its most average.

Actually , i use Anger in a positive manner. I channel it into statements mocking and deriding my fellow man.

The only people who are immune to my ascerbic barbs are my immediate family members .....and theyre not immune 100% of the time.

Oh , and anyone posting a shit-funny strip i consider for godhood for around 30 minutes before i regain my senses.

(and Yes. Its Natural to be pissed off all the time. Any being that had to bleed for 4 days every month and isnt allowed to paint the walls with it afterwards is allowed to be Angry)

It's probably just the tail end of your teenage angst. Soon you can forget everything in a four year drunken stupor at college.

4 days? Try 5 to 7.

I dropped out of high school. I don't see myself at college. I'm just going to work my way up the bluelight ladder.

Im going solely on the period of days per month when my girlfriend makes my life a living hell. If i went on the number of days my ex-fiance made my life a living hell , itd be 27 , and only a transfusion would save your life.

Well that's no good. I'm all for ditching college for a year or two until you feel you're ready. But it's a pretty worthwhile thing. I wish I'd stuck with it all the way through. I keep going back but it's a pain in the ass to try and finish up when you work full time, too.

But if the Bluelight Specials speak your name you must heed their call.

I dropped out of college in 1990 when I was 22 and sorely regret it now. Then again, I am not sure what I would have done with the philosophy degree I was pursuing. (Insert philosophy degree joke here.) I am now back in college and working on an IT degree, but it will be 2003 before I graduate. I wish I had resumed my pursuit of a degree earlier.

When you're 22, it seems like you have all the time in the world. When you're 32 and find that you let yourself drift for a decade, you suddenly realize that you really don't have enough time to do all the things you had hoped to do in your life. I feel now like I'm working my ass off just to catch up on lost time.

Oops, pardon me. I forgot that this is the "Fights Go Here" forum and not the "Melancholic Life Lesson Testimonial" forum.

Gabe is a poohead.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

Wirthling is a poohead, too. But he's in the same boat as me. I was studying photography for two years when I decided to quit. Which in and of itself was a pretty good idea, since I don't think it was the right career choice for me.

But when I go to school now it's from 6 to 10 at night after a full day of work. And I think back to all the free time I pissed away in college not doing much and how much I could have accomplished in the last ten years if I'd had a little more direction and motivation.

But I still don't really know what I want to do with my life. Like wirthling and probably several others of you, I'm drifting along in IT related fields. I've gone back to school twice and recently decided to stop for a while, mainly because of the evil of transfer credits.

Every time I've transferred, about half of the previous work I'd done wasn't applicable to the new school and thus became pretty much worthless. My wife is doing her residency here and there's a pretty good chance we're going to leave next July. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be able to get a degree done by then, and I didn't want to get 4/5ths of the way there, move somewhere else and find that I was still two years away again.

I decided to stop and wait until we were somewhere I was sure we were staying for a decent period of time before starting again. Plus by then we should have enough money so that I could quit working and go to school full time and try and get done a little more quickly.

Also like wirthling, I feel an odd pull toward the protective services. He's going to EMT school, which I've been thinking about. I'm also seriously considering taking the civil service exam and trying to become a firefighter. (I'd look like this.)It's one of those odd things that keeps gnawing at me and I figure I'm never going to know what
it's like 'till I give it a shot. Computer work is great, but I think it'd be really great to have a job where you can make tangible impacts on people's lives.

I look at my wife's job and realize that aside from the mundane runny noses and back pains that she sees, she occaisonally gets the chance to save someone's life. That's got to give you a certain sense of satisfaction at the end of the day that eight hours worth of coding probably isn't ever going to match. (Though coding is pretty satisfying.)

I'm sure jobs like that even themselves out from the people that shuffle off the mortal coil whilst lying in front of you, but still...

Ok. Was that too much?

Wirthling is still a poopie head.
