Title: What do you do to pick yourself up?
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on July 11, 2012, 11:08:19 PM
For the most part I'm almost always giddy fanning, but my string of bad luck lately has me apprehensive. I'm trying to get out of a funk. I'm not use to this. I workout, which helps, but I need suggestions. The off season/ wreck/work/ family health is the worst. Advice...

If I ever need one, I will respond in a follow up to this thread, but currently I cannot give you an answer.

don't watch a movie/tv show, that's just letting your brain do nothing and won't help you long term like getting blasted and listening to GNR will.

list your goals split between career, personal life, fitness, etc.  next list your timeframe for accomplishing each goal.  then list ways you are going to accomplish each goal. immediately start doing whatever the most accessible activity on your list is.  if all are about the same start with the most difficult first.

Fanning, did you get that Hummer* we talked about? When I'm super depressed I just go to Hertz and rent an H3 for the day. Then I Yahoo! Map all of the highways near me to find which ones have a decent traffic density and I drive really fast, like 100+ mph down those highways and run people off the road until I realize that my day can't possibly be as shitty as theirs.

*Could also be slang for fellatio, which would also cheer me up

before you roll it up, slather a little bit of gates hot & spicy in the middle of the pizza on top of the cheese.  be careful not too much.

Apply for a new job in a different field.  Something you would rather do, if the job is a prob.  You are young enough and more importantly free enough of responsibility to try out a change in fields.

My opening post. Off season, wreck----->financials, family stuff, and work----->New boss.

the easiest thing for you to do is to just get comfortable with the fact that these things will never change and will be with you your entire life.  sure there are pockets of time when everything is great and you're on top of the proverbial kathead, but it will always come crashing down around you.  ying and the yang.  everyone deals with crap like this.  accept it, and move on.

Well, Fanning should just bite the bullet and meet his son. He is sure to feel better about this whole situation after that.

Either that or actually have a kid.

Kids are great.

It's going to be very awkward when fanning finally meets this kid. I mean, how do you know what his mother has been telling him about his dad? What do you guys think she's been telling him? I'm betting she hasn't admitted to not even knowing who the father is. She's probably made up some lie.

I go out and get smiles from beautiful strangers. If I'm super blue, marginally attractive women suffice. Gotta work my way up sometimes...baby (blue)* steps
