WHAT U THINK LIFE IS?

[Tilde]

Life is a tower built with an infinite number of tortoises (we, the human race, are on the top). Now, since the human race is so heavy compared with the tortoise we're sitting on, the top-tortoise is like "What the hell? Get off my back you dirty monkees!" And that tortoise shakes us off into the abyss...but while we're falling, a second tortoise swoops down (this tortoise has humongous gargoyle wings) picks us up with its teeth, and flies off.
We ask it "where in the world is Carmen Sandiago?"
To which it replies "You are Carmen Sandiago. REJOICE!"
Then the giant tortoise gives a bellowing laugh, like Santa Claus, and we magically turn into another infinite stack of tortoises. The End.

Well I think it's a bunch of bs myself. Just from a womans point of view.When you are a kid life is alright. But once you hit the big 18 mark it's all down hill from then on. Your parents are no longer eager to pay your way. You become a poor college student if you go to school. If not you become a poor bastard working at 7-11 forever. You party your 20's away with drugs and alcohol. If you do happen to find someone you love and get married more than likely three kids later and 20 pounds heavier it will end. Then you are in your late 30's alone and desperate. All that partying you did in your 20's has caused premature wrinkles. All those tanning sessions has left you looking like a dried up piece of cow hyde. Your kids are brats and draining you just like you drained your parents. By 40 you hit menopause. All that work you did to your body when you were younger is gone. Your kids left stretch marks on your ass and belly. Your thighs are all gone to hell. Your boobies sag. And then at 50 you start making plans for retirement but by then from supporting your kids with no husband your retirement fund is gone. You rely on medicare and medicaid. Then you start forgetting shit. And your kids slap you in a nursing home by the age of 65 because you get on their nerves. And for the next 10-20 years of your life someone you don't even know is wiping your ass and putting diapers on you like you are a two year old. Yeah life is great.

Or Nancy, you can go through life with a possitive outlook and a big smile on your face and actually enjoy life. Yeah not everything will be happy of course, but not everything will be shitty also. Life is definately what you make it out to be. Read my signature!

Hey I enjoy life. There are things in life that I love doing. But I still have to keep it real lol.

[sawleaf]

Keep it real huh? lol I try to keep it real positive! Life is not just a bunch of crap.

Well I feel more sound preparing myself for the big let down that old age is going to bring me. That way when it does happen I won't need therapy or anything. I probably need therapy now lol. But the fact is thinking that life is bs doesn't make me sad. It just keeps me in touch with reality lol.

Nancy, smile dammit! I know, I know, life gets you down sometimes, me, too. Glad to have you back, by the way. No one ever said to me, "Mary life will be all sunshine and roses." Life has ups and downs, and if it didn't, it would be enchanted. And if we lived enchanted lives we'd never be grateful for good times. Karma, baby. If I project a positive outlook, it'll come back to me.

[nancythestuntbum]

I am smiling. I smile a lot. I just don't sugar coat anything.

I don't think old age is a let down, just getting closer to moving on. That's why you should enjoy the life you have now. Or are you going to wait until you are old and say "damn I missed the hell out"???? I think smoking too much cannabis keeps one out of touch with reality and life. Of course I have nothing against smoking cannabis, that's silly, but I do find that habitual users don't do as much or are not as active as only moderate users. I am a strong believer in Karma, the more good you do, the more that will come your way. Just smiling at someone on the street can change their day towards a more possitive one and seriously effect things. That's why I try and stay very freindly and possitive towards everyone. I find that negative people tend to make others unhappy. It is true that misery loves company. Whatever your outlook, be aware that it can effect others just as it effects yourself.

[nancythestuntbum]

I smile at people on the street and stuff. I don't sit and wish people would die or bad things would happen to them. I bitch a lot but that's just normal for me. That's how I let my frustration with the world out lol. I'm always doing something. Even though it may not seem so. Because I say I just like to get high and sit around. But once a month I usually go and do something. Whether it be going out to eat or just doing something out of the ordinary. I don't think I'm missing out. I mean thsi summer i'm going to ozzfest. That's a big deal for me. That's enough fun for two summers all packed into 16 hours.
