Consequences that actually affect things.

Responsibility.

i'm probably the wrong person to ask about this.

that said, I'll have a brew with mikey any time.

resistance is futile

I turn 27 tomorrow, and this shit fucking sucks.

Thats all i have to add. Im a terrible adult tho.

Trust me, the fun is just beginning. Now you and your friends all have money, and since you only get limited vacation days you all party way harder when you do get time off. Plus girls think jobs are sexy.

The party is just beginning my friend

I hate not having summers off. Summer used to be my favorite season, warm weather, no school... Nothing to do al, day but hang out with friends, go to the pool, video games, etc. Now summer is just a time where I break a sweat walking to my car, and no TV shows are in season, and the only sport running is baseball... Barf

Just being happy.

I see it with a lot of people, not being happy, including myself at times. Too many other things try to get in the way of happiness.

I'll be 44 in a few months. I have a good job, great kids, and pretty much everything I want. However, getting old sucks. I'm realizing that I probably played the first half of my life a little to conservatively, but I'm trying to make up for it now. I recommend to you kids just getting started to take more shots.

opening those damn things that come wrapped in plastic

Ain't that the truth.

Toughest part for me was getting married then having kids. Now people rely on me to provide for them, thats when shit gets real.

lol what? I didn't say nobody died until I was an adult. It was just much less frequent. It's one thing to have old people pass away here and there when you are young. It's another thing when you get older and people YOUR AGE are starting to die on the reg.

I mean, having even ONE person die has to be harder than "taking care of myself" right? jesus.

True, but how else different? I have a degree and found this job after graduating in June. I was going crazy not having a job or a real purpose in life. Sure playing poker and sleeping in til 1pm was fun but that got depressing and made me feel kind of pathetic. I don't want a 9-5, it doesn't fit my personality at all but right now I don't know what else to do. Benefits are huge for me as well because turning 26 I will be off my own and that isn't a good thing to be without them.

I'd love to think outside the box and come up with a way to make good money and love my job but right now I am just drawing a blank.

Verse from Greg Brown song:

And the worrisome years--over the hill
I thought it's supposed to get easier to pay your bills
I got nothing to show but a worrisome heart
Can ya please tell me--when does the good part start?

Exactly how i feel right now. sucks i'm not using my degree. but even if i was just feels like all you do is work and the fun has been taken from everything. idk. guess i need to make great money to change me. but i know multiple people w/out degrees that bring in around 90K a year w/out a degree....even more depressing imo.
