That's pretty much how I feel every week. Being a st kilda supporter is the ultimate roller coaster. We're either winning wooden spoons or losing grand finals.
In a similar way that the Bulldogs had their bottom 4 stint and shot up the ladder since, I think that one spoon is the catalyst for your own rise.

Which is better than what's coming for my lot, regardless of how defensive I get here and on Twitter ...

+1 for croweaters posts being a guilty pleasure. Always gets a thread fired up. Dont even feel the need to contribute just happy to read and laugh at the replies. Always thought he was SonofReep elias but i guess not. More umbrella, million dollar first house, happy family, expensive watch, expensive cologne and acquisition law stories pleae
I'm reminded of a Japanese cartoon character (absolute rich kid without common sense) raving about instant coffee ...

But the words 'Japanese cartoon character' reflect poorest on me. :p

I'm unashamedly successful and proud of my achievements. I expect to cop equivalent levels of hate too. Stay strong brother.
That's super admirable m8 & you should feel gr8. At times when you don't feel proud then that's ok as well.

I reckon you feel a Penis regularly

That was another way of me calling you a massive w*nker.

you care too much what internet people think Crowy. pretty obvious Gough's post sent you into meltdown mode. so insecure. just relax, stop with this image-building, and just post like a normal person.
See, that's the thing. People seem to think that because it's the internet, they can say anything they want. What Gough said was just disgusting and reprehensible. There's no other way to put it.

But to humour everyone, I'm going to honestly explain why I say what I say on here. What I say on here is essentially everything that I'm feeling or thinking, that I wouldn't say to a person randomly, face to face.

For example, when have you ever casually spoken to someone random about whether you stand up or sit down to wipe your arse after a shit? When have you ever had a Vegemite scroll, enjoyed it, and randomly said "I love Vegemite scrolls" (the Things that please me thread). Where else can you mindlessly bitch about whatever's annoying you, even if no one cares and you're just there to vent? There's a thread about ending long term relationships, and a few posters just share their thoughts and vent about their situation, as a purely cathartic exercise. And it's really cool that in some instances, this community comes together for one of its own.

When I posted about not being able to outright afford a $1.8 million home build, I knew that it would seem really "world's smallest violin, buddy" type of stuff. I knew people would take it the wrong way. But I was genuinely annoyed. Not about the dollar figure, but about the fact that something didn't work out. I didn't care if people didn't reply. And I certainly don't seek validation from anyone. If I can just vent about shit, then it makes me feel a little better. I don't mean to rub anyone's nose in the fact that I have more money than them; I just say shit because I can. Just like other people say how they feel.

Part of it also comes down to the fact that I live in a bubble. Most of my friend's parents are still married, which probably bucks the trend of mainstream Australia. Socioeconomically, we're similar too, which is why I misread situations and general societal trends perhaps more indicative of the situations some posters here find themselves in. This forum has, if anything, shown me that there is a world out there different to my own little bubble, which is a good thing.

I think the thing that you guys don't understand, is that up until recently, I never had any malice towards anyone. I certainly never sought to start arguments or give people shit. But recently, I've said "f*ck it". I also think that I'm one of the few posters here who openly admits to making mistakes.

I won't go out of my way to brag in order to make people feel like shit, but I certainly won't hold back if people continue the trend of intentionally trying to make me feel like shit. That includes you, Balkan.

Either deal with it or GAGF.

Croweater is apparently (I mean it is the internet where people do lie) a well to do person, or the vast majority of you here think so. Calling him a success would be a little premature, the guy went to uni and got a job. Pretty much like a large percentage of people here and would earn the same amount as a lot of posters here too. Success can also be judged in more ways than just financially. Case in point, my brother works for himself (sparky) in a small coastal town, has a small house that overlooks the beach and lives a simple life. Gets to spend heaps of time with his little boy and wife. No stress, and is healthier for it.

I shared the same upbringing as my brother, parents worked hard, we always had food on the table and it was good. Money was tight but we never went without things that we needed. Didn't roll around in designer clothes or shoes and didn't holiday anywhere we couldn't drive to. Now I'm caught up in the rat race, have several business interest (outside my primary job) and am working on another that will probably become my primary income. People may see what I have as being more successful than my brother but I don't see that at all, I am working towards being able to end up in the position he is but need to make myself a "success" first in order to do that.

People are jealous in a way of how you post mate, you do make mention of brands a lot and the accompanying price tags. If people ask, you answer which is what people do, and there's nothing wrong with that. You've only ever experienced the life of the middle-upper class so it's no surprise that people that have only experienced middle-lower upbringings get a little annoyed when you're complaining about not being able to afford a 1.4 million dollar first home. You talking about such problems around your friends wouldn't raise an eyebrow, around here it is seen as boasting. It would be beneficial to yourself and others to maybe be more inquisitive about the logic behind some of your posts and not just attack them (guilty myself). e.g. Asking, aren't you embarrassed that your mum brought you an umbrella to work because you got wet? and you replying without taking it as a personal dig.

It's the internet, this is a forum and the vast majority of people seem to be respectful when treated with respect. That being said if anyone posts something so ludicrous it's beyond belief, I shall be lining up to virtually embarrass them.

tl:dr Lighten up Crowy and others try to understand the man behind the (Ray Ban) glasses before "cyber-bullying".

Croweater you and I have our differences but I do genuinely get a giggle out of most of your posts. I don't like to see anyone feel bullied but you do have a particular knack for getting under people's skin.

If you find something offensive, there is a report button if you find it 'reprehensible'.

The antagonism/piss-taking is being self-perpetuated and it's hilarious.
It's like one of those mega bubbles you manage as a kid, with an entire pack of gum in your gob....You get so carried away by the sheer enormity of it, that you forget the almighty mess it's gonna make, when it finally blows up in your face.

But never mind that: 'I need More gum mummy,'
