Nobodys_Fault Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 While we're on the subject, any ents up in hurr?I lurk it pretty regularly. Rarely post but it's a fun community. With willpower and self control drugs can have a hugely postive impact on life. Somebody mentioned earlier about the guy who has "no direction" and just smokes weed and plays video games. That's not because he smokes weed. It's because he's a lazy fuck. Smoking weed and playing games all day is the effect of being a lazy fuck, not the cause. If you're a productive person weed aint gonna change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Arnold... Layne... is.... growing up? Getting his shit together? Man, December 2012 really is coming fast! The mans made done ridiculous fucking progress of late. I wish you the best Nate. You're a good egg when you put that bullshit aside.I wouldn't say that. It's been tough these past few weeks. My dad wants to kick me out of the house, yesterday I broke down and started bleeding somewhere (no it wasn't out of my ass, so don't ask), and my mom thinks her son is clinically insane. I won't bore you with any more details but life is far from perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I moved home to escape the crazy subleaser, but my dad wants me to get the fuck out of his house. That's only part of the bigger problem though. I have that house for the sole reason to continue college, but I don't like college. I don't like the city. It doesn't feel like home to me. Instead it feels like some dark depressing wasteland with a bunch of oddballs in the middle of nowhere. So either way it's a lose-lose situation. College is supposed to be fun yet it's been the complete opposite side of the spectrum.Hopefully in the future I will get some desk job in downtown Minneapolis, making enough to pay the bills for my apartment so I can go home, hole up on the internet, and drink and watch TV on the weekends. I've realized this is the life the man from Fight Club hated, but I fear it's the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I can't fuckin believe how thick you are, you need to talk to your parents and have em take you down to a doctor and have yourself looked at, like special needs or something. But that can't be true cuz you go to college, you must just actually really be that big a fool. Just didn't think it'd be possible. Do me a favour, dont watch clockwork orange, ok?

I don't think you're crazy, you wish you were fucking crazy cuz you think it'd make you cool, i think you're just arrogant and a bit of a soft lad and a wilfully stupid Kevin the Teenager caricature that was a few slaps short of a good upbringing.

shades Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 easy on him there Len,the kid has some issues but he's addressing them.On topic, drugs , recreatioanl drugs always have a negative impact on your life. plain and simple.If you're young and experiment, have some fun, party time, whatever.just get it out of your system, because eventually it will affect your life negatively. period.imoThe feeling on drugs can feel overwhelmingly good granted.But you can get that naturally if you get your life in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't bore you with any more details but life is far from perfect.It is never good to do drugs or alcohol to mask whatever is going on in your life, so giving them up, for you, is the right thing to do, I believe.It may also be a good idea for you to leave college and start working straight away, especially if you are not enjoying college. Earning money will allow you to become more independent and move away from the situation you are in now. Remember that you can go back to college in the future when you are in a position to enjoy it.Everyone gets periods in their life which are shitty, you just have to keep your head down and focus on whats best for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasMeadow Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I used to have a really negative outlook on drugs. Now I just have a "whatever" stance. Besides drinking I have never done anything. Not even pot. I went to school with a lot of burn outs and after high school had a lot of jobs with burn outs.I honestly didn't want to be like them so I never even tried the shit. I remember working at a green house in ... '03 or '04 i think? There was a dude that all he did was talk about getting high and fucked up. He was 26 and still lived with his parents. I know a lot of people that do drugs aren't like that but there are some. Why take the chance of being that %. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) easy on him there Len,the kid has some issues but he's addressing them.Thats my point though man, every second joker these days has got "issues" when most of the time the only issue is that they need to stop being so self absorbed and get off their bean bags and go live their life. Can you stand? Do you have functioning arms, legs and a brain? Do you get three square meals a day? Do you have a roof over your head? If the answer is yes then you need to give thanks and praise to the Lord and go make something of the day before the sun sets.I know you know what i'm talking about, Jesus man, there's people out there that can't pay the bills and some joker sitting at home playing Mario Kart is having a hard life, sitting around dreaming dreams of Syd Barrett is a hard life? You wanna know what a hard life is, a hard life is waking up in the morning and working 16 hour shifts, THATS a hard life, a hard life is going without luxurys like the slick clothes and big screen TVs and and top of the range shit just to make it so you can scrape a little extra together to maybe live in a lower middle class neighbourhood instead of a ghetto so maybe your kids have a better chance in life, a hard life is doing menial labour whilst trying to get a business of the ground from scratch so maybe, in 10 years time you'll have a better foundation for a life, a hard life is people who don't get to go to college cuz they gotta work to support themselves and there's a good chance that they'll live their entire life having not fulfilled their academic potential cuz they were too busy trying to keep a roof over theirs and theirs familys head and never once griping or complaining about it. Missed meal cramps, aching bones and a searing fucking headache, thats a hard life, driving a cab nights and being abused by every second drunk yahoo and getting robbed and having to chase fares down alleys, thats a hard life.These kids ain't got no issues, all these kids have got is a lack of heart, a short supply of guts.

Dazey Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) On topic, drugs , recreatioanl drugs always have a negative impact on your life. plain and simple.Simply not true. Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't. The biggest high I've ever had was jumping out of a plane at 13,000ft and I did it cos it was one hell of a buzz. Now is that indicative of a life with no direction or simply something that was fun to do, cos it's the same principle.

arnold layne Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Ok len, you're right my issues may not be considered issues to you, but look at things from another perspective; that may be difficult to do. As someone who was raised by a middle class family, it's really difficult for me to grow up. These past few years have been extremely difficult and extremely fast. For example, there are some childhood friends I used to play ball in the park with I may never see again, one of my other friends became a major drug dealer, my parents are tearing apart the house and my old bedroom was emptied, the nearby park's trees were cut down and the play fields were torn up, my grandparents are almost dead and everyone is moving on but me. I cannot handle change. It has been tough. To make it even scarier I am miles away from home at a school I never liked. I am halfway done but I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. I know college is important to my parents but I dislike the town, the school, the community and everything about it. It doesn't feel like home. What feels like home is the cities I grew up in and even they are changing. This might sound like a joke to you but it's been really difficult and depressing for me.

classicrawker Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Yes Drugs ruin lives for those who abuse them but if history has proven anything it is that making them illegal and trying to prevent people from using them has not worked no more than Prohibition of alcohol worked here in the U.S.I am in favour of at least legalizing Ganja and using the tax money generated for drug education and rehab. Putting people in jail for a weed you can grow in your backyard to me is insane especially since has never been proven to be any more harmful then alcohol or tobacco....Hard drugs are more problematic due to their addictive nature but again enforcement has proven to be futile...There is more abuse of legal perscription drugs then the illegal ones IMHO.......Drugs will only have a negative effect on your life if you abuse them they are not the problem the person who abuses them is the problemChris Rock has it right..........
