Probably because I am. I know it. But when you've dealt with some of the stuff I have and still come out of it semi-successful (at this age anyway), you kinda get smug about it.

I've known for a while that I'm polarizing. You either love me or hate me. Very few people think I'm just "alright". I'm your best friend or enemy. I'm ok with that.

It's awesome that you are a really driven individual and you aren't sitting on your chair eating cheetohs watching netflix all day. However, a valuable skill is being humble about how you do things. You boasting loudly about your accomplishments is just as bad as other people doing it. You should also after awhile to just expect great things to happen and have life go on normally.

As far as message boards go, you annoyed people by this thread http://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173658&page=2&highlight=engineer and others. That's probably why you are frustrated by how people are treating you. You can't be getting mad at people because people aren't worshipping you, that's not how life works.

I don't have a problem with you, just trying to help you out if you want people not to be "against" you on here all the time.

Everyone on here has dealt with stuff, me myself not as much as you, but life goes on and you have to make the best of it.

My post in here wasn't even referencing a post directed towards me. I just don't like the random hate flinging that some people do on here.

I don't care if it is justified hate, I know I made a lot of people angry with that engineering post (man has it been a year already?) and I got a lot of hate for it in there. Understandably so because it is an engineering college and I was egging them on a bit.

And me being not humble is a thing I've just come to terms with. I didn't have a mother growing up and my father was extremely busy. He never told me to my face that he was proud of me. Not once. (Later I did find out that he wouldn't shut up about me to his colleagues) But damn it, I am proud of what I do and accomplish. If no one says it to me, then I gotta say it to myself.

Then let there be sadness. I've basically come to the conclusion that I'm not gonna live past 60 (Seriously, my doctor even said). So if the first 20 years or third of my life was the worst third of my life. Then it can only go up.

But you're damn right life is a scoreboard. Against yourself and your goals. Right now the refs are ******* me up. But I'll win. If I don't get all the basic goals that I have then I did fail. Some people don't see life that way but I do.

I know a guy that was diagnosed with cancer and was given 6 months to live. That was 6 or 7 years ago now. You know what he and his wife did? The traveled, spent time with each other and family, and are living life to the fullest. Neither one is hanging their head about the diagnosis.

I guess Im saying 2 things, 1, quit being so negative and selfish and just live life. 2, science could come a long way before your "time" you never know what will happen.

Ya, but science won't get me that fine piece of *** in your avatar.

Well, you got me there.

I do know someone who's parents, when he was born, were told that he wouldn't live past the age of 10. He did. Doctors changed their minds and said no way he makes it to 20.

He turns 20 later this year and is just as healthy as he's ever been. Doctors have now said no way he makes it to 30.

Don't get me wrong, live life in the moment and to the fullest, but a meteorologist in Iowa can't predict the weather 12 hours from now correctly. A doctor definitely can't predict what will happen in 40 years. They can tell you the odds, but those don't matter.

****, you know odds don't matter. Didn't you make bank with Belmont?

I did indeed make bank with Belmont. :spinny:

But I know that you have to be positive about it, I was merely using it as an example of how I look at my personal life. I look at it in 3rds with 60 being the "end". Anything after that would be gravy. My dad originally had 3 months to live when they found his tumor. He lived 9 years and broke the world record for chemo treatments (but turned down the record book because he didn't want to be known for that), he had over 500 and just kept chugging along.

I wasn't trying to be negative about it. I was merely stating how I view my life in 3rds. (see my above post for more).
 
My random thought of the night

I miss CF. I feel like my time here has really died down. I don't know if it's because my homeboy Fitznuts is gone or what, but I feel like I've lost touch with my homies. Not many sites can you meet up with 10 other dudes that you met online, play basketball, and all feel like brothers.

****, even though I e-hate ARob more than anyone else, he really isn't that bad in person. Just a little fragile.

I guess Im just trying to say is dont live your life in thirds. Just live your life and have fun. For all you know, these thirds you are living could turn into fourths or fifths
 
Live life like Cowgirl, where you are happily married, get drunk every night, and your biggest concern in life is what kind of carpet to get for your house.

/I love Cowgirl

I mean, I do have bigger concerns but I"m going to take this post as a compliment.

P.S., we spent like 45 minutes walking around the lot tonight trying to decide. DH thinks it's too large to push mow so I'm like let's get a riding mower. He's determined to push mow an acre lot. Yeah no. And I just went to google them cause he thinks riding ones are too expensive. I asked for a good brand and he said John Deere.


Insta-divorce. Don't tell a Case-raised girl to buy a Deere.
