I prefer to maintain a certain standard of living, such as having a house, a truck, several animals, an Internet connection, etc. I require a stable foundation upon which to propel myself into the world.


what animals do you have, if you don't mind my asking?

wrapping up my junior year of college, so far it has been a monumental waste of time. i dont feel myself 'learning' anything outside of how to better regurgitate useless information so i can pass classes. im beginning to notice more and more that mediocrity is the standard here. it has lead to me beginning to worry about the future, and if this degree is going to be able to get me anywhere, but i'm trying not to concentrate on it too much.

i think i might be studying abroad next spring in london though. really looking forward to that if i get the chance to go.

outside of school, i started working at a restaurant washing dishes. its been two years since ive had a job and it feels good getting back into the rhythm of life. plus finally having a cash flow once again doesnt hurt anything. in a couple more months i think i'll be moved up to chef, and im anxiously awaiting that day. seeing as some day i might want to work in the food industry, possibly attending culinary school, this would be a good learning experience.

as far as my psyche, ive found myself drifting further and further away from the social scene as my time in college, and understanding of myself, deepen. it seems like most people i interact with are stuck at one stage in their life, and its hard to find open people to have honest conversations with. it is only made harder because as of late ive found my self confidence lacking, but this has been a life long problem. i quit smoking the green until at least summer, and it has really helped clear my head and put things into perspective. also ive been trying to meditate more and more, which has helped more than anything.
it seemed like every time i would build up my confidence, id smoke and tear it all down. so im not really eager to get back into that.
as far as other psychedelics go, im looking to widen my horizons. so far ive shroomed a few times, and each one was great in its own aspects. i have some mescaline, and as soon as i move into my own place over the summer and get away from my current roommates, i plan on making some tea and see where that takes me. ive been waning to try lsd for awhile, but it doesnt seem to exist up here.

and lastly the future. i dunno...the only thing i have my mind set on is getting the hell out of texas. i'm thinking somewhere on the west coast, but ill need to spend alot more time researching this before i make any kind of decision. getting work is also an issue im not sure on. not really any clue what i want to do yet. i figure as long as i keep making the right decisions in the present, the future will write itself. at least i hope this is how itll work...

I don't need to work for a bank or an insurance company to have those things. And I'd be perfectly happy in an apartment, even without cable TV. Believe it or not, it takes relatively little to make me happy. So you can take your high and mighty bullshit and shove it.

I am about to graduate from college. I studied Geomatics (land surveying.)

I just broke up with my girlfriend of thirteen months.

I'm about to start a new job with an engineering firm on May 1.

I'm going to buy a car next week. Probably a Honda Civic.

Over the next three years I will write my Western Board of Examiners exams to earn my Commissioned Land Surveyor status.

As of right now, I'm 3 hours away from a four-day weekend.

(Haha the guy in front of me in class is looking up sleepwalking and wet dreams on Wikipedia right now.)

I remember dealing with a similar situation once. I was in high school, senior year. I had recently sat down and really thought about what it was that I wanted to do with my life, as I realized that, A. I needed to involve myself with a pursuit that I would thoroughly enjoy, and, B. I needed to make a decision and fully focus on following through with it, otherwise I would just drift, and would have no real opportunities.

Ultimately, I dropped out. :lol: I got my GED, of course, and I freed myself from the struggling constrains of school months ahead with the same outcome. I'm certainly not suggesting anything of the sort for yourself, as it is a highly personal decision. It almost always isn't the best choice.  I'm simply just reflecting. :wink:

I worked in a restaurant, washing dishes, during and after I was in school. I always enjoyed doing it, and it is in doing so that I taught myself a valuable lesson. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself involved in a certain endeavor, and it is such that you have to spend your time involved with it, then, by all means, do not make it unpleasant for yourself. One's mind has a list of what it prefers to do and what it does not want to do, and it fucking enforces it. Shut it up and simply focus on doing it. You'll find that you'll perform better anyways (putting yourself leagues above the other people in this world), and, even better, you'll enjoy the work, even if you didn't before. :thumbup:

Same here, but then, I was never too involved with the social scene, beyond that of some stoner friends. Now, I live hours away from where I used to. Work isn't much of a social scene, especially after switching shifts, and my socialization is among my girlfriend, my animals, a few online friends, and, of course, the Shroomery. For the most part, I wouldn't have it any other way. Eventually, I will have a band, and will tour the world, and there will be all kinds of people everywhere. :lol:

It sounds to me like a perfect oppurtunity to really discover, develop, and then know yourself. Confidence will no longer be an issue then! :grin:

That is how it will work. Know yourself, have an image of where you are headed, and focus intensely within the present moment. Make those decisions that will best develop yourself and actualize that true image of who you are. Everything naturally flows forth from there, a lifetime of awareness and experience! :mushroom2:

what animals do you have, if you don't mind my asking?




I have a Norwegian Elkhound, a male known as Odin. He'll be two years old in August.



Behind him, of course, is the home of my two oscars. They are each about 9" long. I've had them for well over a year now. As soon as possible, their habitat will get upgraded to a 125 gallon tank. :thumbup:



We then have two ferrets. A Silver Mitt named Merlin, and a Sable female named Dainty. We've had them for a few months now, and ferrets are quite possibly the coolest animals of all time! They are very intelligent and full of life. Very determined.

Short Video Of My Ferrets <Save Target As>

We also have a cat that came from Wal*Mart. :smirk: That is to say that, two winters ago, there was a cat that lived in the parking lot there. One night, when we had the receiving doors open, she came into the store. A fellow associate took her home, but later had to move, and bestowed the cat upon us. My girlfriend called her Beaker.



The chinchilla in that picture, unfortunately, recently passed away. :frown: Coolest animal ever, though!  :laugh:

And, finally, we have two rabbits. :grin: Pepper and Norg. Norg is the one raiding the dog's water. :lol:

I used to have a rabbit that i could play catch with. I would throw a tennis ball at her face gentely and she would pop it back to me with her front legs with dead on accuracy. I dont know if she was playing the game or protecting herself but she never ran away from it so i guess she new we was playing.

yeah, im 3 years in, so dropping out now would be like shooting myself in the foot. i can struggle through this for another year and be done with it.
and trying to find something that i enjoy doing, and following through with it is something that ive been meditating on recently. but ill get to this later.

badass, glad to hear you enjoyed it. pretty much everyone that ive talked to that has studied abroad has had nothing but good things to say about it, so im getting really excited about this opportunity. i think it will be an incredibly maturing experience.

i love my job more and more every time i go. the people i work with are all cool, my bosses like me, and most of the time i can just do my own thing. and if im working by myself its a meditative experience like you were talking about....i am the dish. the food industry is the one outlet where i could actually see myself in years to come. ive always loved working with my hands ever since i was a kid, and now i love cooking. if i continue to enjoy this, and still enjoy it when i get moved up to being a line cook, im not going to rule out going to culinary school once i graduate.

i agree, its just taken me along long time to get used to this. theres such societal pressure to have alot of friends and to go out drinking on the weekends and such, and to turning my back on that causes a bit of anxiety. but ever since i was a kid ive done my own thing. i never really fit in with what people usually did, so i sat around and played videogames for the majority of my earlier years. but i think back then i still wanted to do all the things other kids were doing because i thought i was missing out on aton of fun, but now that ive found out what most people do...its just not worth getting out of the house most of the time. i thought i was missing alot of life, but i wasnt missing anything.
next year i think it will be MUCH easier being by myself because i will be living by myself. my roommates right now are all highly extroverted and cant stand not being around a bunch of people. once im able to do my own thing, without any pressure from anyone, ill come to love being by myself even more so than right now.
and i think when this happens i will truly begin to know myself. i can feel it happening already, but its a slow slow process only made slower by my environment. i cant wait to trip this summer once i move into my own place... :smirk:

Thanks for asking.

This is the conclusion I came to. I don't know who I am, therefore no one else knows who I am. I know my ultimate goal, but I have no idea how to get from here to there, not to mention all the space inbetween.

But, maybe someday I will know. Even if I find I don't like the person I really am, as long as I know, it gives me the ability to change.
