    True tbh, we all remember how hard it was for you, having to commit to the girl you knocked up, making a thread asking for legal advice on giving your abandoned child your name. But you stuck with it, fought and endured, and now you're a proud user of a condo in Breck that your father in law owns.
    yeah the girlfriend of 5 years I knocked up. We've now been together for 9 years.

    You ever marry in to a wealthy family? It's pretty sweet imo tbh

    I had a car but it was a hand me down and it is basically now dead. I might be able to get 200 or 300 dollars if I take it to a junk yard. One of my resolutions for 2014 is to get a car that is my own. I have never really had a car that was my own. That means I paid for it which means it is mine. Honestly, if I could buy a van, I would and just live in that while I work at ty Target. I am going to be homeless probably in two months so I'm gonna have to take desperate measures to get some cash. I would definitely donate sperm and blood. I am already in the process of selling my XBOX 360, PSP, Ipod Nano, and some Japanese Transformers. I am even tempted to sell my Nexus 7 tablet that was a prize from AT&T. You guys can trash me all you want. I just wanted to vent. Venting helps me cope. And I need to stop giving a on what others think about me.
    If this is a shtick, it's one of the best in ST history imo. That or you actually need psychiatric help.

    I just want to leave. I have a ty job, ty car, and basically everyone I know can't stand me. I basically have nothing to live for. No purpose in life. I want to leave so badly. It's so sad. My family can't stand me and is close to disowning me. My work is basically the same. My car is basically shot and I'm afraid to drive it out of fear that the engine will blow up. I tell my family that and they act like I'm lying or exaggerating. I just honestly want to leave. I have been thinking about this for a couple of years now and I'm at the point where I really want to do it. Just leave. I want to be like Lenny Kravitz and fly away, yeah, yeah, yeah, brotha gotta get away. People say you can't run away from your problems or run from your past but I am willing to take that challenge and see if I can be successful at it.
    Life of a Mavs fan, tbh..............

    Per par.

    I just got this in a company newsletter...here you go buckaroo. keep yo head up.


    5 Keys to Effective Goal Setting -
    Successful Mindset

    Setting and achieving goals is where success happens! We often get stuck at the
    beginning of the process with assessing our situation and setting goals without following
    through to completion. Setting and achieving goals is the mainstay of purposeful living.
    The successful mindset uses goal-directed thinking in every aspect.
    Effective goal setting happens when we choose goals that we believe we can truly
    achieve. We keep those goals ever in front of us, never losing sight of where we want to
    go in life. The groundwork for effective goal setting starts with these crucial components.

    Keys to Effective Goal Setting

    1. Have a Vision - Start with a fully detailed vision for yourself. Without a vivid image
    of your future, you will not be able to set all of your daily, weekly and monthly goals
    that will propel you into reality.

    2. Know your Passions - Often the problem with goals isn’t in setting them but being
    motivated to actually achieve the goals you’ve set. Your passions need to be aligned
    with your list of goals and fuel the fire that makes you act.

    3. Be Brutally Honest - Setting goals means being honest with yourself and with others.
    Living a life fully and achieving your goals requires complete honesty. Look deep
    inside yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses. The vision, passion and gifts
    that exist within you will carry you toward your goals. As Shakespeare wrote, “To
    thine own self be true.”

    4. Set Goals that are Yours to Achieve - Your goals must be literally “your goals.” It
    doesn’t seem possible for you to be passionate about someone else’s goals. For you
    to achieve the goals you have set, you must believe deep within yourself that the
    goals you are working toward will take your life where you want it to go. Don’t take
    on goals for yourself that were designed by someone else. Look at your life and your
    vision then set goals that you will walk through fire to achieve.

    5. Live a Life of Action - Remember to spend less time on setting your goals than acting
    on them. Stay in motion. If you have a tendency to get stuck in the “planning” stage
    of goal setting, then start with setting smaller achievable goals each day that you
    make a priority to reach before the end of the day.
    Your passion, your gifts and your daily action are the keys to effective goal setting. Setting
    goals that you believe in and fueling your dreams with your life passions are all part
    of the successful mindset. Develop your own successful mindset that you can achieve
    yourself with planning and action!

    I tried convincing myself it's a shtick, but I realized that was me trying to ignore the probable truth, that we have millions of people like this in America who are totally out of touch because of uncontrollable narcissism that makes them incapable of thinking clearly. People like Jacob are so in deniable about the reality that no one was put on this planet for a special predetermined reason and that your life will most likely be just as ordinary as the lives of everyone you see that they think the world is gonna arrive at their doorstep immediately after it inevitably figures out how much it needs Jacob1983 to avoid global calamity.

    It's true, I have family members like this. This ridiculous lack of accountability, the supposed 'external forces' holding them back, etc. You'd think someone like Jacob wouldn't go on his half-ass neocon rants but apparently he still thinks he's more important than the people he criticizes

    I just want a Nissan exterra and just want to get away. Trust me I am very frugal. I have a flip phone. I have one pair of shoes. I don't really have car cat since it's basically dead. It has a huge oil leak and the front of the engine is covered in grease, dirt, and oil. Scary to drive. Last week I thought it was going to blow up. Please don't make fun of my Mavs. Leave them out of this.

    Oddly enough they're usually the "Quit blaming others! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!" libertarian type who jerk off to Ayn Rand novels.

    how old are you op?

    Man sounds like a tough situation to be in tbh. I just turned 23 a month ago and I'm in a somewhat similar position, the only difference i guess is that I am committed to finishing a decent degree even though I might stop every now and then due to financial difficulties. I read that you have a liberal arts degree, with that degree you're probably looking at a 2 year courses to finish better degrees tbh..So i really don't understand why you wouldn't consider school an option.

    If i were you, I'd work two jobs earn then earn as much money as I can so I can pay for a two years or three years worth of university ( since you probably already finished loads of credits). Or come to Canada man, Alberta is desperate to recruit workers from all over Canada and even the US..You can earn 100k in two years. That should be enough to pay for you school loans. In those two years, you can evaluate where you stand.

    I gotta ask op, have you considered opening a business of some sort? if you really hate going to school, I'd save up enough money to open a business and go from there..you gotta work tons of hours in the next couple of years though, but if you really want to get out of this funk, you would have to somehow work harder than your average joe man..Don't look down on yourself man...

    Also, don't just go without having any plans... Trust me most guys who do this often times fail, I know I did...If you really wanna pack up and go, you need to have a plan in mind...otherwise, you'll see yourself sleeping in streets.

    I already have a plan for my money problem. I just have to massively cut back. That means no driving thru Burger King and getting a Texas Double Whopper or getting a hot dog at Target. Take my damn lunch to work. Don't go to the movies or buy movies. I'm also gonna start to sell a bunch of my stuff. I probably wasted at least 500 dollars on fast food in 2013. Just got to cut back and have some ing self control.

    I have actually considered getting a 2nd job. I just wish I had never been brainwashed by America society about the whole "going to college and getting a degree will make your life so much better". I wish I could remove that from my mind. My life would be a million times better if I could remove/erase certain memories from my mind.
