who are your personal heroes?

I don't think you should necessarily have to put up with a bullshit job for your family man. That's not right at all.

Indeed, you should just mooch off the system for a few years while instilling an awesome (read: non-existant) work ethic in your kids.
 
my work ethic came from having the shit knocked out of me at an all boys school, my dad having worked for as long i can remember and a reluctance to trust anyone
 
I think people too often jump into having kids with out fully realizing what it means to be a parent. People that can have kids and either neglect them or abandon them is the worse type of scum. Parenting is very hard and often sucks but sometimes it's so worth it. The moment you have a kid you're obligated to put it's well being before your own at all times. My son drive me nuts sometimes but if I had to sacrifice living a 100 more years just so he could live 5 minutes more I do it without thinking twice. I learned that from my parents. They were tough and at the time I thought too hard on me but now I see that they were good parents. A parents number one job is to mold their child into an adult that is better than themselves and has a better life than they have. It's not a teacher's job to raise your kids or discipline them. It is the parents responsibility. That is why parenting is so hard and why not everyone should be parents.

speking of which...

i was at the bar last night and this country act was playing. the guy said "...back when i was sleeping in a truck by the creek for a while..."

which is perilously close to living in a van down by the river.
 
I'd like a van and a 70s porn mustache for a week. Actually I think I'd like the van longer than that but only if either looks like the A team van or has totally rad shit painted on the side of it.

There was no part in my sentence where I said not to work. All I said was that you shouldn't HAVE to put up with a bullshit job forever. I believe in working, I don't believe in feelnig inferior and being bossed around like you're a peice of shit, which is something that a lot of people put with every day and something that I object to on principle. Just because you have the title 'manager' doesn't mean you can treat people as if they're not equals, you still have to say please and thank you otherwise you'll find I don't say please to you either.

What's wrong with aspiring to have a job you're happy in where you don't put up with shit? My mum always worked when I was younger, she was happy to work all the time, she's not the maternal type. My dad never worked when I was a kid, we managed and I got to spend a lot of time with a parent. My dad doesn't believe in being somebodys shit on a shoe either. It's frustrating to have a parent who you know is never going to get a good job, because they can't stand being made to be inferior, but it's admirable that he brought us up as best as he could despite not having much money. :)

Enemy's "box" is covered with dandelions and butterflies and smells like roses.



It's not a real life box.



with all due respect.

:lol:

With all due respect I know a damn sight more about 'real life' than I should have, and it's pretty neat that I can still be so fucking optimistic. Why do you have to be so down on somebody who wants the best? Because it's not realistic? Well it is realistic, if you have no wish to do better and to be happy then you're living in a dream world if you ask me.

After being homeless for quite a few months, dealing with a load of bullshit, not having a family for over a year etc. etc. I think it's cool that I'm still a very optimistic person. My box is not covered with dandlions and it's pretty silly for you to say so, you don't actually know me, just the part of my person that I choose to share on here, which as I'm sure people who actually speak to me from here know is not the complete me. I'm as cynical as any of you, but who wants to post the same shit every day, wouldn't that be boring if we all agreed?
 
my eyes are pretty blurry, im just up, lab in 15 minutes

where do you think i was last night? that's right enemy. i am a student.
 
i was awake at 8am but i was absolutely fucked. couldn't have hacked it.

i think i am a bit unwell actually, been shitting through the eye of a needle the past few days at 30 paces and permanently tired.

i'm going to need to be more serious about my modules this semester. tomorrow, new leaf.
