I thought this could be used as a thread to post any general thoughts you are having in life that they wanted to share with people.

Personally, I'm going through a huge phase in my life so far at the moment in which I'm coming out of a deep depression and making many realisations about myself and the world. I've realised my happiness is a product of what I allow myself to feel and how nothing really matters, but it doesn't matter that it doesn't matter. I've been asking myself questions like Who am I trying to please in life? and Why don't I do what makes me happy? and answered them for myself and came to some conclusions. One day I magically appeared here, then I'm gonna live for a little bit, then I'm gonna magically disappear. That's all it is. So I'm not stressing myself out thinking about the future or how my life is going to turn out, because I'm only in control on my perspective on life. I just feel this confidence inside me that's just indescribable after how I've been feeling these last few years I just feel so good. I don't need to worry if others see me as successful or not. I don't have my life all figured out yet, so what? Life is happening right now and whatever happens is whatever life will turn out to be.

Basically just whatever you feel like posting. It doesn't have to mean anything. I guess my post I'm just sharing what's going on inside my head at the moment and thought it would be interesting to have an insight in to what someone else in the world is thinking about on some random day and see how other people's minds work.

I went through a period of naivety where I took movies/TV at face value and enjoyed them, then I got more savvy and cynical about plotholes, emotional manipulation via music, implausible scenarios, disrespect for physics etc. Now I just accept that the people that make this stuff usually know exactly what they're doing and it doesn't really bother me if its cliched.

I've barely posted about footy on bigfooty since the drugs saga.

People who say they hate all country music except for Johnny Cash have only listened to Johnny Cash and Garth Brooks disciples.

Comparing cricket and baseball is one of the more insufferable things a person can do.

I feel nostalgic when watching films/listening to music from the 20's to 50's even though I wasn't alive then.

If it sounds country man, that's what it is, it's a country song.
:hearts: Kristofferson
 
If the Young Ones was made now, would they all be white and male?
I think leaf blowers should be banned.
I hope my 7 year old makes good on his plans to build an octopod, and, that there is a room on it for me.
I spent years as an ALP hack, yet, I find the politics on the P&C extreme.

Very good approach, good to hear it's working for you.

Just have a crack, most things are ultimately insignificant and if something goes wrong, it really doesn't matter.
 
Waiting in line for coffee this morning and this hot chick in corporate attire in heels in front of me was gasbagging to her friend and I heard her use the words 'amazeballs' and (what sounded like) 'ridonkulous'. I wanted to pour boiling water on her head.

Thats it mate, live in the moment. :-)

Check out some stuff out there on meaningfulness. Helps not only in life, but can extend to other stuff, like on the sporting field.

I haven't even ventured into a football related board since all that shit went down either.

In fact I've gone off the game at the AFL level completely. Channel 7 and Fox Footy's coverage has also played a big part in this.

I prefer my footy at the amateur level these days.
 
Im finding myself becoming more and more sympathetic to the 2 bali9 guys about to be executed

The more I see them on TV the more I see them as normal people who have made a mistake when they were younger, but dont deserve to die.

If the object of jail is to reabilitate and execute those that cant be saved, then obviously its failing in this regard. I'd be a shorter favourite to wake up with 2 dicks than for these 2 blokes to smuggle drugs in to Indo again.

So all thats really happening is these boys are being killed as a show of force and a deterrent, which I dont agree with.

Its a real shame, one of them is my age and I think back on the things I've learned in the last 5 years living a fairly average life, I cant imagine with how much regret they look back at what they did.
 
like if i was going to do any of the 'really hard drugs', heroin would be it. i mean, edgar allen poe was on opium and he wrote some dope shit. cobain was mainlining smack and writing incredible music. there must be something to it...

by most reports its fantastic and the reason its so bad is because its so good, once you have it you you arent really interested in living life without it
