When the priest pulled down his pants.

The red one or the yellow one.

You still are a little boy son.

Son you dont talk to me like that go give me 3000 pushups son!

LMFAO Sons.

For me, it was when I decided to buy a LexusGS430 over the Lexus GS400.

I was 24. I had no comprehension of the gravity of the choice I made. Only a few years ago did I even begin to comprehend the choice. If you asked me 2 years ago...I would have said it was the BIGGEST mistake of my life.

However... now I'm not so sure. I'm wondering if the path I took...was the path I was supposed to take...to bring to where I am today...and where I am today...is exactly (without a shadow of a doubt) where I need to be....and if I hadn't made that choice...I don't think I would have arrived to the place of peace and understanding I have at this moment.

It was the biggest mistake...and the most enlightening one.

I know, I know...

I should've written something funny...

Are you male?






You're supposed to know...because y'all can read minds!

I was about 8 years old, and having just solved the Riemann hypothesis, a man stood before me and gave me a choice. A scary clown named Dr. Topolo asked me where I wanted him to put it and then honked his big red nose. Since then I have been afraid to use my genius for the advancement of mathmatics because of the association I made that day when he forced himself on me.

having to decide if i wanted to be Little Wing or Lucifer...

Mine was when I was strung out on meth and I was either going to go to rehab or go to bootcamp. I chose bootcamp and have done quite well for myself since. i knew if i would have went to rehab i wouldn't have stayed clean.

Well i just broke up with tula so i was totally devestated --I really loved her and i told her everyday how i felt--i used to give her a rose everytime we went out for 4 years--but she wanted to marry rich so off she went--this was in 94

Then I lent a friend 3500 and he ripped me off

Never saw him or my other friends that i was really close with --i mean these guys were like blood too me.. we did everything, went to their weddings, baby showers everything, tula was one of my best friends sister--thats how close we were---

My life has spiralled downhill since--

Then i got so addicted to coke that i started selling it to support my habit

I couldnt stop so my parents called the police on me and i smartened up finally--

I got a criminal record

this was all within six months period

A year later i went to unviersity and finished in 99--

I couldnt get a job for the next 5 years due to my record--so i had to go on welfare, they wouldnt give me training since i was not employable and had training from university. I attended over 10 programs to get jobs and have recorded over a 1000 jobs that i was turned down for...welfare kept sending me for psychological counselling cause i guess they felt i needed to address my issue....talk about problems...i probably have made 30k in the last ten years since i got my record. Most of the time i spent online at canadastudentdebt.ca(my screen name is nago ) to try to get help with my student loans--Eventhough i had no money i borrowed from my parents to keep my loans from defaulting...during this time i contemplated suicide so many times and was mentally ill

Holidays and family events are the worst--everyone just criticizes me and stuff about my poor educational choices

Now i got a security job for 5 months out in the cold doing stuff that bores me--

Just thinking back--and all the problems i have had and all the shit i am going through--

Too this day i havent seen or talked to tula--I havent had one friend or gone out since 94 and havent had any relationships with females

I guess you can say i got really really hurt--

I probably will never have a friend or a girlfriend again but thats how i like it now

So looking back yep i wouldnt have been these guys friends cause it ruined my life and destroyed me--

Thats why when im not working out, playing hockey or working im spamming the board with incoherent rubbish

so flame away

I havn't reached the turning point of my existence(life?) yet......

I'm only 21, so my life hasn't reached the turning point either. I hope it doesn't because I like my life right now.

Oh common, you will get another girlfriend. Just need to look for one, and talk to them. It's easy. And btw, nobody likes being lonely, when most people say they don't want a girl they are usually full of it. (most people)

Oh that is easy. When I am presented with two options I dont do neither of them. I just watch all the possibilities melt away with time, it is pretty cool.

In my case it wasn't two options.

It was an experience I had the opened me up to other ways to live.


My last semester at Uni. I studied abroad. I met a lot of people travelling and the travelled for a few months afterwards. It was then that I realized that there is a whole other world out there, and it was very interesting. I was very sad to take my flight back to the US. That was 1993.

I've been travelling abroad and living abroad for the most part, ever since.

Back in the US, I am a misfit now, because my attitudes and values and goals are different than from the folks I grew up with and American society in general.
