2009 is the worst year in my life thus far and it's only in it's second week.
not just the passing of my brother, but employment, money woes and just crap.
you cant even listen to KYW on the radio and not hear story after story of bad news for america and the rest of the planet.
I'm hoping tha Obama is able to do a little to fix a few things.
The dude is limited in what he can do, but he won me over with his enthusiasm alone......
we should all meet for a drink....and BBQ
i have a full tank of gas and a pillow in my car to sleep it of later so i'm down....

I'm basicly a mess.... I need to lose weight, but cant get it done. Either I'm to tired or depressed to excersize at all and I cant seem to stop
eating.
I hate my job and basicly every other job I've had which means I have no clue what kind of job I would like. Plus I have good hours, good pay,
benefits and I dont work hard. I just hate it here and the place sucks. I'm bored all day!
Just havent been feeling well... probably because I'm not healthy.
Yeah.... stuff kinda sucks.

Unemployed atm but I brought it on myself by quitting in December. Looking for something better now, loving being home though. My holiday pay ran
out this week though.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
- Paul Morris, music director at 97.7 HTZ-FM

Well I didn't get laid off so I can count my blessings on that one, but Ialso am of the camp that can't stop eating and can't or won't exercise. I
hate being fat. I don't kill myself just because I'd hate for everyone to stand around saying how fat I looked. Damn it.

You obviously don't hate it that much if you can't be bothered to do anything about it.

Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

That's really good to hear. After last year, you deserve to finally have the ball rolling in a positive direction.

Never said it was. But how can you hope to change at all if you don't want to put forth the effort. Seems to me that nothing in life worth doing is
easy.

Well MM- I have PCOS, an insulin disorder.. I have meds that help me lose weght but they make me really sick. so... Either I take the meds and lose
weight, but can't leave the house because I can't be more than 2 step from a toilet.. or I go on being hefty and not ovulating.
BTW- I find your comment hurtful. I DO eat right and exercise. but it takes me a week of perfect 1,300 calories a day and an hour running everyday to
lose .25. I just don't have it in me to keep that up constantly so I gain back immediately whatever I have lost. I spent a lot of years starving
myself and beating myself up because I "wasn't trying hard enough" before I found out that my insulin thingies are screwed up. Now I'm just trying to
work on accepting things for what they are and being joyful for a 2 pound loss.

This is probably more transparant than a two-bit CEO like me ought be with my 'customers", but whom an I shitting? I ain't really a CEO and you guyz
ain't customers. I'm old, you guyz are old, and we are probably too old to ever even attempt to refer to ourselves as hardcore kids. Hell, the
offspring that has been seeded by the members on this board could populate a small country.
2009 has already stricken me with polarizing pangs of anxiety and hope. Having gone from the tumlt of the music business to the tumult of the
investment business, all with no guarentee of a petty staycheck, has proven to be an ongoing adventure in bad timing on my part.
I read what has been written in this thread and it seems I am hearing the same sentiments everywhere - from friends, client, family, and for
damn sure from my own lips. I always thought just I was a day late and a dollar short, but it seems as if the whole world ain't much different. They
just fake it better.
My present and future is shakey and uncertain like anyone else. My past is still being sorted. No surprises. Ends are often not met. No
surprises.
But I have to say, none of the financial ebb and flow and woes of uncertainty and discontent matter to me anymore. I am mostly numb to it. Not
immune or inattentive, but numb.
I see this whole downturn primarily on a micro level as a cleansing process for me personally. Having to cut things out, clean things up, and
feel the strain of worry has only made me realize how unimportant material things are.
Not trying to turn this into an Oprah episode, but my kids are smiling when I get home. My wife aint, but hell I don't blame here. I wouldnt be
smiling with three kids hanging on me all day knowing some ugly, bald, tattooed bastard is coming home in hopes to do the same.
Food tastes better. The occassional cigar smokes better. The shitty cheap wine I am reduced to buying taste better. That shouldn't be the case,
but it is. My appreciation level is off the meter now. That is a good thing.
I still love being an entrpreneur and running my life like a DIY pirate - searching for my treasure daily and not knowing when or from where
it is coming. It's never been about the money and has always been about freedom and the pursuit. That will not stop, even if I have to go work for the
man temporarily.
The quote that has literarily driven me from task to task over the past 6 months is the following by Churchill ;
"Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm."
I have been living this way, and regardless what 2009 brings, I will continue to.

I didn't really expect any responses to this thread. Nice to see that, for the most part, people are pretty optimistic/hopeful/delusional given all
the bad shit that's going on for everyone... or maybe just taking solace in the small things. My own comment pretty much echoes Discipline's.... just
put Homer in place of his avatar. Nothing going right, but working to turn that around. Glad this is a place where people can vent some of the shit
that isn't appropriate anywhere else and that all you people I don't know support each other. I've said it before, but for a bunch of old, jaded,
bitter mother fuckers... you're some pretty decent people.
And THORP, most of us can't be your customers again until you put out some new stuff.

What can I say. I have type one diabetes and have been on insulin injections 5 times a day since I was 6 months old. We all have our problems. However
I don't look at mine as a problem, but more of a blessing. It has forced me to stay in shape my entire life as I don't want to run into complications
like, kidney disease, heart attacks or blindness. I am at the gym all the time and eat what the human body is supposed to eat. Its hard for everyone.
Your body is your temple and deserves more attention then anything else in the world as it is your body that allows you to function in all things
outside of it.

My military ordeal finally came to a conclusion today after 4 months of wondering when they were going to cut me lose. That shit was stressful, but I
never compromised my work ethic or integrity despite the fact that I was getting involuntarily separated. I even got a personal letter of
recommendation for any future job applications from my commanding officer. So today was a very good day, I might be unemployed but its all good, I
am in a position where I can focus on defeating my alcoholism and I have my freedom back. Fuck yeah
