AGREE 120 PERCENT!
I don't want to be in' established and before I find my eternal soulmate. It's just not special that way. It's like being a Spur fan since '99 instead of a Spur fan since '73. Haven't been through the thicks and thins, the ebbs and flows of youth and life without uncertainty TOGETHER. It's more of a sex, financial and friendship combo agreement if a couple gets married after they've already been through the hardest alone or with other people.
I crofl at anyone who's 30 and still single, it's ing pathetic and too new age sheep-ism imo... the American way is to build and grow together and stick together through the highs and lows of early-mid life instead of taking the easy way out like so many gutless morons do today (i.e. through divorce). I understand divorcing over ing cheating or objectively heinous abuse but other than that, it's unacceptable to me.
The problem is the university I go to. The culture and people are, for the most part, an enormous perceptual misfit for my views on friendship, life values, morals, politics, and overall the way things should be at this age. And there's literally no parties and fun things on or near campus here because all most of the university cares about is dumb jazz music, art, tattoos and Bernie Sanders and every semester there's another fraternity or two getting kicked off campus for getting caught providing alcohol to a minor. Except for a few parties I've been to, the other 90% are at some student living place and all racist black kids that do nothing but want to twerk and and play obnoxious rap music at 9,031 decibels. The vast majority of whites and civilized minorities here are too laid-back to party and too absorbed with making all A's and B's in their stupid fine arts/interdisciplinary studies classes in their pursuit of a degree that will net them exactly zero decent jobs.If college was the most boring years of your life you must not being doing it right. Jesus christ you are a pathetic mother er
UNT will never have good things with its elitist neo-liberal culture.
therefore, I #ShouldHaveGoneToA&M and roomed with my 2 best friends from HS. Big bad social decision I'll regret for a long time. I chose UNT over A&M because UNT offered me a full ride and A&M offered me about a 72% ride. Would have rather ate the dough and had a better college experience. But hey, it's almost over.
Still got a few years to go before I hit the big three oh, but I digress - you have the choice to live the life you want and that is the real "american way" since this country was founded to live with a greater degree of freedom. You give up that freedom when you try to live the life you hear about on the misc or those stupid reddit communities, if you didn't design your own life then you can't call anybody but yourself a sheep.
So, yeah, you're like what 20? You got time to figure out how to make each year better than the last, you only begin life when you start living it.
Anyways, good luck with whatever you end up doing for yourself
I don't think there's a right or wrong way to go about it. But it's the people who can't live their life because "I'm lonely" or "I'm bored
This 100%. I didn't really plan on getting married until I was close to 30. I was single all throughout college and just happened to meet my soon to be wife my last semester of college and it just kind of fell into place. You don't need to look for the right person, if they are out there it will eventually just happen. For pathetic ass holes like UNT though I have my doubts.I don't think there's a right or wrong way to go about it. But it's the people who can't live their life because "I'm lonely
Good summary. Exactly right.I don't think there's a right or wrong way to go about it. But it's the people who can't live their life because "I'm lonely
21, will be 22 in a couple months here.
So, yeah, you're like what 20? You got time to figure out how to make each year better than the last, you only begin life when you start living it.
Anyways, good luck with whatever you end up doing for yourself
That would be 1986.
I'd lost a backgammon game to a buddy, so it was off to the bar of his choice. He wanted to go to Porterville.
Avante....dude, that's a kicker town, ain't no black chicks over there.
Stan....I won right?
So we get to the Paul Bunyan Lounge around 10pm. Grabbed a table and what do ya know here comes this incredible black chick she must have been 6-4. Stan knew it all along (she went to Porterville JC a volleyball player).
So there the three of us sit when the bouncer walks by, he opens up the back door and in walk three amazons. But the last one was ...yum-meeeee. I looked at Stan and he looked at me.
Stan....dude, she is on a whole other level forget it. You can't afford her.
What a year that was, it was work, eat, , sleep, works, eat, , sleep, work, eat..................
Never forget 1986.
I've told my son Mason.
Avante....would you believe if not for the roll of the dice you ain't here?

That would be age 30.
My University had renewed my contract and I was finally fully teaching in all my degree areas. I was teaching Communication Photography, Digital Workflow, Media Theory, and Electronic Media & Film.
I worked to get two of my Photography students as staff photogs at Coac a, worked with my media students on some incredible stories, including multiple that won student Emmy's, worked my media contacts and got one photography student who was former military the chance to be embedded with the Huffington Post as he tripped to Ukraine dying the Crimean conflict. I earned a raise for the first time. I had two of my own media projects picked up, and I was one of the last few media members to interview Leonard Knoght of Salvation Mountain fame before he passed away. My Thesis was published. I worked on a story where I was surrounded by bears in a TV studio, getting to hold a cub, and getting to fake wrestle an adult. Lastly, I found a girl who loves sports as much as I did, both the Suns, Diamondbacks, and Arizona Wildcats, as we started what was a short-lived, but pretty damn awesome 4 month, no-strings relationship as we both new she was leaving in May for school in Philadelphia.
But best part was all this occurred, then in June my doctor dropped "Lymphoma" on me. After a series of tests, scans, and pokes/prods, I was told it was simply a precaution, and nothing of note showed up concerning Lymphoma.
That summer I treated the family to Disneyland and Sea World, went to more baseball games than I remember, got paid a ton of money by a Law LLC to do some promotional video/photography, had my contract renewed to teach again, and followed my favorite band for six road stops from Albuquerque through San Diego.
I spent the last days of my 30s at the Telluride Film Festival with a colleague and son of a Hollywood legend, so I got some VIP access.
It was a year that'll be tough to live up to.
Is "the zone" your code word for dad's crotch?
Age 6 is when he discovered anime tbh.
Bet that was a ty week or so in June when you were afraid you had hodgkins at age 30?
1997 - Junior year, High school
Was in ROTC Rifle Team.
me and my buddy Zeke won the state rifle shooting championship for our team by a LARGE margin..... I shot almost a perfect set... 298 out of a possible 300. All bulls eyes except for 1 ring out on 2 shots... (one ring out on standing shot, and one ring out on kneeling shot, was perfect in prone). Not only that, I finished like 5 minutes before anyone else in the compe ion. I was a shooting god that day.
Don't exactly remember what Zeke shot but he was up there around 290 or so.
ing school couldn't afford to send us to nationals though.
I feel like Al Bundy from married with Children when he talks about football
Anyone who actually shoots should know how great a set that was... 10 shots each for standing, kneeling and prone.... and I hit 1 ring out of bulls eye on 2 shots out of 30.
I've done better since then (multiple perfect sets), but not in compe ion like that and not nearly as dominate.
not my greatest achievement in life (not by a long shot) but it's one that I will NEVER forget, so I guess it counts in the context of this thread.

Very ty. It was about 10 days. But the year was all the better upon news of not being sick with it. I contacted one person, a friend who's A doctor of internal medicine but who specializes in cancer well being at Duke University Hospital.
He gave me a list of things to do, things to eat, things not to eat, etc.
I've maintained a lot of the list, even though tests results showed a lymph nodes infection and not lymphoma. Haven't had a reoccurrence since.
Lymph node infection means your immune system is acting abnormally.
They gave me antibiotics and nothing has occurred since. I've had a CT scan every year against that infected baseline. New diet, etc.
Can't explain it. I'm fortunate.
Like I said, after the fact he said the tests were precautionary, but initial visit he dropped "running tests for Lymphoma" on me and that's all I could deal with. Put me on the antibiotic in case. Symptoms left after the meds kicked in, and have never returned.
Probably 1968. I was at this gook bar with a couple of buddies on leave, and they had this thing called the smile game. When the girl came out from under the table with her braces looking like Chewbacca, I couldn't resist and offered her $10 and paid the bar fine for her to come back to my motel room. She was a cherry girl, and shaved smooth way before that became a big thing. Why was that called the Brazilian when the gooks I barfined years before were all like that? Anyways, good times.
I'm guessing she smelled like piss, not vaginal secretions and didn't have natural lubrication. Those "shaven" women seemed to have that issue.
That'll be sure to give you lymphoma, right there.
2016 so far, so good!
That's ed up that your Doc put a scare into you like that. I had the same thing happen last fall, got a calcium score CT and it picked up an enlarged lymph node in my chest. Doc called and said it's pretty common, probably nothing just allergies (mold count was thru the roof at that time), get a chest CT in 6 weeks to rule out lymphoma. I did and it was back to normal, I was never worried about it. No need to get a CT every year just because you had an inflamed lymph node once.
200-2003 tbh, Grade A pussy left and right. Don't even know why i'm getting so much at that time. it's not like I'm a stud or have money etc. Met the hotties in heat at the right time, I guess.
