Lets see wake up at 7, go to work, come home...eat...maybe go to the gym, run or something...go to sleep, and do it all over the next day.


I am 29...not married, or want to....EVER!

If this what life is like? I know thats pretty much what my parents life is like. I hope there is more to it. I probably should get some hobbies or something, but really whats the point?!! If this what the next 30-40 years got for me....WTF!?

I don't think i'm depressed...not yet...but really, I need some motivation.

Where's the social life? Friends? Females? That's what keeps you sane if you haven't figured that out.

Family, Friends, and a job well done give me satisfaction in life. Of course, the ocassional day of neffing is necessary.

You need a companion, and that means a GF/Wife if you're not gay, which you may be?

Life is about sharing good times with family/friends/significant others and just riding it out until the end which is death. Then you turn into a cat or grasshopper.

When the days are nice and a bit warmer than this frikken sh1t winter crap I try to do mountain biking and some road biking. I also got myself a kick-ass 1/8 scale RC buggy to play with. Maybe I'll do some races this year. :D

Other than that there is the usual stuff like, Work, eat, sh1t, masturbate...:D

Life is what you make of it. It sounds like you're just letting your clay sit in an ugly lump instead of sculpting it into a work of art.






Wow...that was profound! I just made that up! :shocked:

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

:)

Don't have a GF and I rather stay single. I get involve with someone I loose all interest after a couple of months...rather be alone.


I just need to find more productive things....maybe Yoga...or read...who knows!

It's a fact that people feel satisfaction when they are needed. Is your job fulfilling? Make yourself needed!
Volunteer to help youths or elderly. This will make your life satisfying. Break your routine.

companion + weekly (not daily) hobby keeps the world spinning for me. Otherwise things are pretty repetitive... it's like that for everyone. You should at least find someone to share your life with. I'd be bored to tears by myself if I'm in my late 20s (which I am).

Life is about the people you meet and the relationships you make.

Get involved with your community. Save some money, take some vacation, and go travel in Europe (staying at youth hostels).

if you'd rather be alone that makes me think you might have some depression issues...

Sounds like you need to go through some crazy sh!t so you learn to appreciate what you have dude. Once you realize how lucky you are, you will cherish the ho-hum nature of your life.

Family. I coold watch my 1 year old son all day and just laugh at the crazy stuff he gets himself into. It seems the only thing going on in your life is work. Thats not a good thing for a 29 yo single person. If you don't want family put your energy into starting your own business or something. If I did not have a family to worry about feeding I'd be opening my own business right now.
