To those I seem to annoy

[Animl-AW]

Hmmm

I guess when someone has lost every single significant person in their life to death, including wife and son,...it makes one look at the world, life and people differently. Most of all how they waste their time in life and disregard the time of others. You CANNOT understand, and I feel bad for anyone who is forced to.

Which reminds me of another quote "You can take advantage to kick and beat me while I'm down and out, just remember when you're done it's my turn.". Meh! Some here did knowingly seize on that and still do. Someone can say "you're your own biggest problem" yet if you read around on the intardnet it doesn't have the best of reputations, was that all me too? It's not that I can't take it, I choose not to, like others. I've handled a lot worse people in real life than ANY of you could ever dish out, I closed that door too. Some have swallowed their own tongues.

The best mistake is the one you do not repeat.

Ya like Poems? This is one my wife (2010, RIP) gave me and helped me through troubled times. I'm no longer the 1%er biker type, never looked back, I cleaned myself up in 92 because I started a family, did all the right things, just to lose it all. Life will have it's way with you however it pleases. So I took up flight sims instead of biking.

Desiderata:

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

NO it's not "look at me", it's look at YOU.

I have a stick for sale in the Classified Forums. Make me an offer.

I will. Seems your sqd has a few that always seemed help me out. I can afford a new one, but will check it out.

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation
Endless price I have to pay

Sanity, now it's beyond me
There's no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary, I'm here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity, now it's beyond me
There's no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes?
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me?
Is he trying to get out
Or trying to enter me?

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself?

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me?
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free, oh

The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-sight!"
He said, for a nominal service charge
I could reach Nirvana t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said
Look here brother
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Now what kind of a mask man are you anyway?
Look here brother
Don't you waste your time on me
The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he sorta, fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said
"You might not believe this Pancho, but it'll fix up that war paint for you too"
An' I said
Look here brother (thank you mask man. thank you)
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
Ah, mask man is a studmuffingot
Look here brother
Don't you waste your time on me
I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!", he said
An' held it to his horse
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right of course
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around
I said
"The price of pajamas has just gone up
An' yer ol' swarmy have just gone down"
Look here swarmy
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Seattle poncho who can tell anymore?)
Don't you know
You could make more money in sindication
So don't you waste your time on me
Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm

Dooooooode... Let it go..

[Mayhem]

Dooooooode... Let it go..

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
When I rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

I think the best example is BigWeek,
Started out with a few thousand, and repulsed itself down to about 15, the ones who chased the others off and the spectators who cheered it on.
What many thought as witty turned out to be what chased the horde away. Then they ate each other.
Walking into BW was like walking into a septic tank.

I'm glad most of the "fecal farmers" got pushed out, but the smell lingers.

Not so ironic the chest pumpers are offended the easiest and play victim the most.

I'm really not offended, I have much bigger fish to fry,...but a forum of the self-righteous doesn't impress me anymore than BW did. <shrug>

Most, but not all, of the chaos comes from former players. What was done to me recently was launched by 2 former players to current players. I know who passed my real name on, and it's not a current player. It was an ankle biter from day one who suddenly made themselves scarce. The one who always gets others to do his dirty work because his feelings got bent because he couldn't take what he dished out. The one with the sig line that projects himself. Cpt DCS Salesman.

POINT BEING, the ones who shun me do the same thing they shun me for <shrug> Imagine that,

You are one of the most strange individuals I’ve seen post on this forum in 15 years.

You should put the bottle away before posting…

Yup, He's off to the races again.
