What are you doing with your life?

[Nograts]

I'm just about 12 hours in to yet another 24 hour weekend shift. Normally I have lots of homework that keeps me engaged, but my classes ended and I've been left here to ponder life and its meaning.

So I sit here...staring out the window on this seemingly beautiful day thinking "Why?" "Why Eleven, why has it come to this? An entire day of your life gone! Gone sitting here staring out the window when you could be out there. Be out there with nature, and the universe, and do things that make you happy."

Why do I do this to myself? Why do I conform just because someone said it was the right thing to do? Why do I work this grueling job that nobody wants to do just for a few measly dollars so that I can buy a new suit and tie and repeat the whole process over again until I'm dead? Why do I knowingly submit myself to this dreary monotony, throwing what little time I have on this beautiful blue planet down the proverbial toilet for the sake of being part of a group that doesn't even appreciate you?

Then I think of all that stuff that I would do with my life. Like live naked in the woods with other free spirits. Fornicate like rabbits. Live unimpeded by the "man" and his agenda. Masters of our own destiny. YOLO. Or I could live on the streets of the big cities because the pidgeons do it, and they are truly free. Or a nice beach somewhere, fresh fish and saltwater and a cool breeze. Free. Then I stand up from my chair startling everyone around me and I get ready to scream "SUCK IT WORLD. YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME." And then I'd walk out. Walk out into the sunset, into this big world and finally live. Tell my wife and kids I love them. I know they won't see it at first, but this message is the best thing I could ever have done for them. Freed their spirit....

So uh. Yeah that's what I'm doing with my Saturday. You?

I'm sat in a tree acroos the street disguised as a pidgeon(sic) watching you, fapping wildly.

I'm propping up 70% of the American economy.

 

[lxskllr]

Did laundry, went to the dollar store, and did dishes. Marching steadily towards death.

^^ Camus material right there.

I almost went into the dollar store as well. It was one door down from the thrift store I was aiming for.

 

[WelshBloke]

Played with the little one when the big one went to do some charity bag packing, then mowed the lawn and did some gardening, then taught the big one to light a fire using a fire steel, then made some pulled pork (well started it, its still cooking), then put up some tents in the garden with the little one and the big one, then showed the big one how to use one of those garden weed blowtorch things, then sat and had a beer whilst watching him nearly burn the shed down, then cooked a couple of Thai curries and some sticky rice, then played on the trampoline with the little one for awhile, and now I'm having a beer and neffing here.

 

[LevelSea]

Picked up some ribs for me and some tuna (raw lol) for my wife. Also drinking Chimay.

 

[WilliamM2]

I'm stuck inside on a perfect 76 degree day with the first cold I've had in 10 years, can hardly breathe. Sounds like you are doing OK.

 

[Black Octagon]

I think that always boils down to the trap of staying up too late. Then you're a just a little bit too tired to push the next day to do what you really want to do. Lightbulbs are both a blessing & curse to mankind. And the Internet. And Netflix. Because otherwise we'd all go to bed when the sun went down & have more energy the next day to overcome our monotonous situations

Maybe if you had spent some of that money on me, I wouldn't have dumped you! :'(

As for my life, I don't have a clue what I want to do any more. It's a sad state to be in. I realize that I'm there but don't know what to do to fix it. *sigh*

Got together with my good friend and hung out for a few hours. Had a good time.

 

[Ruptga]

Very little at the moment, but your OP reminded me that there's a park around here I just found and had been meaning to check out.

 

[Jeeebus]

Went bike riding with the kids, watered my new fruit trees (avocado, peach, longan), went out for lunch with the family, washed the cars, spent an hour in the pool, picked up about 10lbs of lychees, and now watching my son play tennis. Usual busy weekend.

 

[pete6032]

Bible study, grocery store, work out, clean apartment. Finally have a chance to relax and I'm having a drink and making the usual rounds online to the websites I check each day. Going out in a bit.

 

[inachu]

I live with asians so the only american thing I deal with is my job. My ford car and playing WOW and visiting anandtech site.

Learning chinese is fun.

 

[Ichinisan]

Just doing the same thing as everyone else: Producing fecal waste.

When I woke up today my horoscope read:

"Today you will do one of two things. Gangbang with Japanese girls, or help someone remember that which they forgot."

I guess I now know the answer. Damn you Pisces.

Ah. This reminds me of that time I had a gangbang with 4 Japanese girls.

 

[brianmanahan]

i am existing

which, compared to not existing, is pretty amazing

 

[TheGardener]

I stopped reading at " Fornicate like rabbits." That sounds like a worthy life goal.

In the meantime, today I planted romaine lettuce seeds and edamame seeds in my organic garden. Then I shored up my tomato plants. I'm falling short of the above mentioned goal, aren't I? Only as another pun, I then fertilized the garden.

 

[mindmajick]

I'm doing nothing since there is nothing worth doing.

Life is boring.

But I also do a little bit of everything hoping something doesn't get boring.
