Well idk, it's definitely beneficial to know what you want to do in life. Gives you motivation, a set path to follow, and highschool/college wont be as big of a timewaster when you can choose classes that'll aid your goal. Silly for me to say this I know, but I would hope you're able to find something.

Well I think I do, but can't say what others would think of it. Course making pasta doesn't really take much effort, atleast not the noodles themselves, but the garden vegetables I combine them with don't either. Truely a good recipe for someone lazy like me!

Eh, it can be good, but there's a lot of foods I like better.

Well I can't change the people around me so that would be an impossible goal.

Nice post

You don't need to tell me twice! I suppose moving out would be the obvious move, but it's extremely expensive to live in the area I'm in, to the point where even if I find another full time job it wouldn't be enough. So move farther away to somewhere cheaper, but how can I do that and find a job in that area at the same time? Did I mention I'm lazy and unmotivated? Also no experience or know how on being independent. School would rather teach dividing X by Y and have me dick around in gym over stuff that'd actually be useful in life. Excuses I'm making yes but still they cannot be ignored.

Shall we play Ecco the Dolphin together?

I get what you mean, but I personally don't think there's any point in having a goal. I don't even know what I want to do in life tbh

Glad someone agrees with me there! I take it your experience with school was also unpleasant?

If only it were multiplayer, but it's good to see that I'm not the only one who remembers this game.

You and me both mate. Guess we'll just waste away doing odd jobs if any. =(

Yerp. RIP us 

What's your favorite game?

When was the last point in life when you had friends?

Cobretti2 said: This may sound bizzare, but I envy you. When it was just me I did the things I enjoyed doing. On occasions I would catch up with old friends if they needed to, but never really felt the need to instigate that meeting from my own end. I guess I enjoyed helping others with their problems but never asked for others to help me with mind kind of logic. Then I got married and it's like my time is being eaten away by another person. I love my wife and all but for someone who hardly sleeps (3-4hours a day) to give up time (especially when you are working 12 hours a day) that i spent on myself has been a big adjustment, I wish we had 30hours in a day lol. Now obviously that is not normal for most people, so I wouldn't recommend forcing yourself to embrace that life style. I hope whatever you need in life you will find.

I think this one of those "the grass is always greener on the other side" things.  When you feel like you don't have enough time for yourself, you envy the guy that says that's all he has.  For him, he probably wishes he had a wife to spend his tons of free time with.  

I'm married, and I too feel like my time is being eaten away by another person.  My wife just left the country for 2.5 weeks, and I am very much enjoying this time to myself.  But, if she called me and said she's decided to stay away for six months, I'd probably feel pretty bad about that. 

I often wonder if it is possible to find a perfect balance, long term.  There have been times in my life when I felt like my life was reasonably well balanced in this regard.  Like, when I had a serious, long term girlfriend that I didn't live with.  But, it has been a long time since I was in one of those phases.  At this point, I have a baby on the way.  So, I'm figuring my chances of finding that perfect balance are pretty much zero now.  Or, maybe having a kid will change my definition of "perfect balance".
