Subject: Re: The Best Things in Life? Author: Scarecrow [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:04:34 09/12/05 Mon In reply to: kaotik 's message, "The Best Things in Life?" on 15:18:46 09/08/05 Thu Yeah, I know why the guy I'm jealous of is so happy. It's because he was the class stoner. He couldn't get through the day without being high. He called in sick at least three times a week, skipping his on-air shifts, because his dealer came through with the good stuff. And who, more often than not, got stuck with his shift? Me. I'm just getting sick of this. I worked my tail off at my practicum, I've been working my ass off all summer trying to get a job, and this stoner waltzes out of his practicum - a practicum where he had lots of problems (I know...I just had an interview with the station where he did his practicum, and when I mentioned I knew him, they spent about 10 minutes ranting about how bad he was) and into a job at the #1 radio station in Edmonton! So then, explain it to me. How come my hard work is going unnoticed while this guy keeps failing upward? And what's your fucking solution? I should give up on dream, and go work my tail off at something else. Yeah, well, fuck that! This is the real world! People work their asses off to acheive their dreams, and it doesn't always go well. They fall flat on their asses. And they get depressed. People like the guy I'm jealous of - and you too, I'm guessing - choose to deal with that depression by getting drunk and/or high. Well, I'm sorry. I deal with it by writing. And I'm sorry if my sad writing makes you feel sad. Go to another bar, then. But then, it's not like you're going to reply to this, seeing as to how you were too chicken-shit to leave your true name or an e-mail address.

Sometimes facing reality hurts, but its not kaotik you should be criticizing. You should be looking at, and figuring out what you can change about yourself. Don't get me wrong me here, I definately don't think you should EVER give up on your dream. But when the rest of the world seems like it's not doing you any favors, quit trying to change the rest of the world and think about changing yourself. Because I can gaurantee you will have more success in finding ways to adapt to your surroundings than waiting for your surroundings to change for you. I went through the same thing you're going through now and through the right channels learned how to make everything work for me and within a year I learned how to 10 fold my income and get whatever I wanted to work, start working. Might sound like preaching, but when something works...it works. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
