IrmaJean Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 We've had the same heat here over the past 2 days. The weather has been so erratic recently. It's supposed to be in the 90's F (32-33 C) today, but just a few days ago it was in the 40's F (4-5 C). Tomorrow it's supposed to cool down again..

Victimorthecrime Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yeah we don't need 90s in May. As long as things are good I can deal w any weather. Things are ok right now. Not great but ok. Hope things get better for everyone. One day at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I didn't even see this until now. I missed your post Klingsor, hope all is well or as well as they can be. My best advice to you is to focus on making money. If you have money in this country life can good no matter what your past. But regardless take good care of yourself. Life is short and then over forever. Enjoy it while you can for all its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 The desire for success is not about changing who you are. It's about growing to who you know you can be. LostBoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klingsor Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Confidence is the most elusive thing. It defies definition but it's immediately recognizable. This is really the root of all my pathologies -- sps, social anxiety, depression. I simply do not know how one aquires it. Perhaps it isn't obtainable, it's either there or it's not. If I had confidence I would be a different person and my life would have unfolded entirely differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I totally agree @Klingsor_the_Capon It has plagued me as well. But I am still working on it and have had some success. I find preparation helps me. If I am prepared I am much more confident in the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Hope all is well @Klingsor_the_Capon. Feel free to repost later if the words come to you. I am at work and I am see-sawing today. Feeling good one minute, bad the next. It is what it is. Just hope for the best. Klingsor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malign Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 That's true: as a consequence of my choice to help combat spam on here, I know dozens of places to get Viagra online. Smallbeans and Victimorthecrime 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malign Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Well, they mostly seemed to be Russians who were somehow selling Canadian pharmaceuticals. That didn't make them sound like very reliable sources. Vic: What did the Romans say when they were having a bad day?

Smallbeans Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 @malign I’ve always wondered if one of these people who are promising you thousands of dollars for free are actually real. There must be one who’s real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Yeah. But the law of averages suggests it won't be you or me. Not to mention P. T. Barnum's observation that there's a sucker born every minute. Which must be a rough life, for both the sucker and his mom ... (Happy Mother's Day, btw.)

Victimorthecrime Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'll stick to the occasional lotto ticket. Remember risk can be measured, uncertainty cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 This is somewhat negative but here goes: Some people, life supports them. Their DNA resonates w planet earth. The world claims them as one of their own. Others of us, and I feel this is particularly true of men, are simply not "in the club". We are expendable, we are cannon fodder. Even if we never see the front, we are residue, waste. We bring no value to the tribe. If we were gone we would not be missed for a nanosecond. Millions stand ready to take our place. A man such as I describe can labor night and day and any gain will be around the margin at best. I will still work hard and hope for success but I know at this point it is performance art.

Small Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Negative indeed, but true. Victimorthecrime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victimorthecrime Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Negative/positive - it's all interpretation. It is what it is. No biggie. It's just that sometimes I get my hopes up for one minute and sure enough life will kick me in the balls to remind me in no uncertain terms what the deal is.

Klingsor Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 An interesting clip with the animator Chuck Jones thought I'd share. Might provide motivation for somebody. The way he describes himself at the beginning is exactly me...middle of the road failure. I've just never been able to assume his frame of mind at the end. How lucky he was the career he chose.

Victimorthecrime Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yes he has a good perspective. All we can do is be the “best” (whatever that means) version of ourselves. Others are wholly beyond our control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayless Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yeah,, this made me review my life in this regard. I systematically avoided any field of endeavor where I felt like he described and stuck ONLY to ones where I seemed to be comparing somewhat favorably to others AT THE OUTSET! As I advanced in a certain sport, I quit as soon as I reached a level where I began to feel like he described entering the art class. Only when I started drinking alcohol could I become social or sexual. Victimorthecrime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
