How would you go about, recreating, reinventing yourself.
What would your process of self destruction be.

If I could reinvent myself I would come back as a rhinosaurus. I'd go into furniture stores and lay in thier beds, ruining the covers with my thick skin. I'd use my large body to crush through Starbucks and McDonald locations then drink all the frappaccinos I want, eat all the McNuggets I yearned. I'd use my horn to lift old lady's dresses in public. After a day of all that I'd go to my rhino home, sit in my rhino lazy boy and watch reruns of Seinfeld on my rhino TV.

I've decided not to reply to threads that start off with outrageous demands of every one else's thought and the thread starter never bothers to put their own in first

I would push the large, red button on my neck that... shit, I hit it with the phone by accident.

i guess in theory i would attempt to free myself from all possesions, live a low matience life in some hollow apartment. Then spread the word of self enlightment and resurrection.

In reality, possesions materialmisms, all those needs are so well integrated into my life, in the possessions i don't have i dream of having tomorow, to one day live a possesion/care free life sounds futile.

You guys are real jerks.

I'd love a conversation like this to ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

Rather than all the stupidity and cynicism.

"Oh, we're so cool! Let's post snarky comments for NO GOOD REASON!"

Sad

maybe. or maybe not.

I think change happens and tends to be a bit boring. It's gradual.

Sure, I've gone to the bathroom and shaved my head, quit smoking, cancelled my cable, started reading more, took up jogging, All in one day. But I am still me.

The kind of change you see in a movie like Fight Club is false because it takes place in a compressed timeline. Plus, it's a made up story.

It's cool to be inspired by it though. Change doesn't happen in a vacuum.

I think that depends...In what do u mean by "change"...I think there are somethings that can't change us in the moment, like the death of someone you love very much, or whatever...That depends on the person, of the impact of that "thing" that happens, in that person...

P.S:. Sry about my english...

That's a good point, and actually, I am an example.

but its only there cause we want it there, if we don't it isn't, it all hinges on the choices we make, when you're a child you can't help but be the product of your environment but if you continue this into adulthood its by choice. i learned i didn't need crap by having money foisted on me spending it on crap and my life not changing as a result, it was pretty simple really.

I'd recreate myself as a middle-aged graphic designer-slash-commercial artist. I'd destroy msyelf by wasting my conscious time and energy on a silly web forum. Also, destroying whatever a couple stiff martinis will destroy.

- you cant reI dont think...
Maybe its more like...
Okay, for example

Eye used to let people walk all over me. Eye used to do what other people thought was best for me and take advice like it was rule. But instead I just realized that Eye dont live for someone else. Eye live mEye own lEyef. My life isnt going to make someone else's better. And of course there are tEYEms when I need advise, but I weigh it against my own. I could never do that. And Ive lost resepct and gained respect for changing like eye have. But the thing is, other people's respecting my choices doesnt change my choices. So I live for myself. Now. And thats how I reinvented myself. And Ive never been happier with myself.

So like my point is that, at least in my case, its not reinventing myself- its finding myself. For the first time. Not making myself new.

I guess if i could reinvent myself i would just change all the things i didnt like about myself which i should do anyway but....
If i wanted to destroy myself i would just shoot alot of people, giggle and shoot myself.
I think im sane
