The Emptyness of our lives

Tim. Gray happens to be a very subtle color that brings out green in some people's eyes. It also is all the rage this season. Let's not associate the fact you feel your life has no meaning with that fine color.

Before I die, I would like to be fucked in the ear.

You're too young to have such emotions. Play Grand Theft Auto more.

Now Midas, were I 15 and got such response, I would cut myself. Of course 15 year-olds have emotion. They just need Ritalin!

Yeah, gray is one of my favorite colors. I love it, it has so many awesome shades.

It's a must, I tell you.

You are after my own heart.

15 was actually a good age for me. 17 has it's share of sucky moments though. Hold out for 18, man. Life after graduation is a lot different

maaaaaaaannnnnn........lighten up!! most broads will at least make out with you if you give it a decent shot.....don't over shoot.

Lighten up Tim, there is lots to see and do in life. How about we give you a list of things to enjoy and then comeback to us if you are still feeling blue.

I will start off.

1. Ask a girl on a date.

if you hvaen't done something great by the time you're 15 you may as well just die.

That's a good idea, Barca Boy.

2. Devote all your energy to learning a language like Russian. And then make good with a Russian exchange student. And maybe curse at your parents without them knowing.

3. Learn to spell "Emptiness"

my aunt tried to psychoanalyze me once, well my whole lfie actually, because she thinks shes superior to us all when really shes a parasite that sucks off the life of rich men, theres a reason why every guy has dumped her in the street. she tried to tell me that i was depressed and that i felt like worried that the whole world doesnt care about me, and that my life was so bland and full of dismay. that i would get past that to become a wise man, that i dont need to be angry with my family and blah blah blah and i dont need to listen to angry music yada yada yada

i told her to eat my ass with plastic spoon,

i was never depressed and angry as a teenager, i never listened to angry music, life was and is not bland

well tim, the world isnt out the get you, theres no reason to be depressed even when you might have a fucked up life, trust me my life was fucked up too

barca gave great advice, find a girl, someone that challenges you

4. Do one thing everyday that scares you

How many times have you seen Fight Club? (After reading your post, this was a very necessary question.)

The emptiness of our lives. Will agree there. That is why you find something you love and do it. The only thing that makes most of the people you mentioned in your thread empty is because most of those actions are money-driven. Start not doing things for money and start doing it for the love of them. Money is a by-product.

If you're studying, don't study because one day you will graduate and go to college and then apply your knowledge to get a job that will earn you money (that's what most people are told since they're kids and they do so.) If you're asking yourself what you are right now, you've taken a good step out of that at least. So now, take the next step. If you're studying, study what you love to study. You like history, know why you like it so much, question your beliefs (it will only make them stronger) and love it rationally. Giving your life to what you love saves you from the pattern of emptiness that you are so afraid of falling into. It keeps every day of your life different and you will forever be finding deeper and better meanings in what you love (unlike things that you will do mechanically.)

You want to find something to fill up your life, dear Tim? Study the rules of spelling and grammar. They truly are a fun thing.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

All kidding aside, you're really overshooting here. Sure, I gaze off sadly into space whenever someone tells me yet another drinking story, and sure I become depressed and without reason when I read a terrible book (see: Diary), and sure I [insert "on and on and on" etcetera], but just find someone else who is also less into consumerism and have interesting chats with them about things not related to consumerism. Oh, or you could become Straight Edge; I hear that's all the rage with people your age.

Incidentally, you're using a computer and the Internet, which are technically things you don't "need" to survive, so unless you only buy food, water and shelter supplies then you are in the same position as everyone else who buys "shit they don't need." Buck up, old bean.

PS - Don't do one thing everyday that scares you, because that won't accomplish anything. Instead, I suggest a hearty round of chicken soup. That makes everyone feel better.

You and I and a grammar book should all sit down and make love.

Wonderful message. Sans the Chicken Soup--Tomato Soup is the only way to dine.

Hey Tim. Chin up. You're still breathing. Seriously though ... keep on trucking. Maybe your life is empty now but maybe it won't be someday. And maybe it will be but by then it won't matter because you'll be old. See, it can't be empty it's too confusing.

Tim, your life is neither important nor remarkable. This is a good thing. Treasure it. Go get slapped by a girl. Stop thinking you're gray, because you ain't. You're orange, or green, or, I suspect, mauve.

I don't doubt that you mean the things you wrote. When I was fifteen I was quite miserable, and nobody took me seriously because kids are apparently incapable of being seriously depressed. However, I think you're failing to help yourself.

I'm going to give you a list of arbitrary things to do before you turn sixteen. Some of these will be scary, others stupid, and others a lot of fun. Do them, or try your hardest.

1. Get slapped by a girl.
2. Memorize, and then recite, a poem.
3. Find someone in your school who needs a friend, and be his friend.
4. Try eating escargots, or frogs' legs, or something.
5. Get in a fight with someone you've never fought with.
6. Give a compliment to someone who dislikes you, and then see if all of a sudden they start treating you more kindly. They will. People are silly.
7. Do five more pushups than you could do yesterday.
8. Try to find out an intimate detail from your teacher's life.
9. Tell a lie.
10. Practice smiling. Smile at strangers. When you pass someone you don't know and they look you in the eyes, smile. Especially if she's a hot chick.

Don't take anything too seriously. You don't need to dislike people because of the overwhelming emptiness of their lives. All you have to do it make your life better. You will have a lot of influence on people who believe that you can in some way enrich their lives. What have you got to offer? Just a lot of whining about the state of the world?

Remember: You can only waste a life you didn't enjoy.

Your place or mine? I've already started to think about how I can use run-on sentences to defile you.

[URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp-oJhBxn6o]Be happy and relaxed ![/URL]

You're right.. 15 is not an age filled with wisdom... write everything you're feeling down on a bit paper, keep it somewhere safe.

Get out into the world and experience things that you would normally shy away from, don't be afraid of making mistakes or looking a fool. Someone somewhere said everything is an experience and i think that's a good place to start.

Then in a few years time when your hormones have settled down and you've got a wealth of different encounters and stories under your belt, get that piece of paper out and wonder why you wasted your time at 15 being so pre-occupied with everyone else's mundane lives. They're not yours so let them be gray and let them be blind.

And when I shave and wash my hair and go out in the [I]sunlight[/I], I can be moderatly attractive. I mean, I wash my hair anyways, but... and you know, I'm not really, uh, I'm not used to this flirting thing, but, if, uh, if one of these nights you wake up alone and think, "God, I wish I could wake up next to someone," well, if you think that, I think you should maybe, uh... remember that I feel that way too. And, you know, just remember that I'd love to be around when you're cooking pasta or vacuuming the floor or something. Just to be around you. You know. Nothing big, no big deal, just hanging out with someone who may just be as... who's just as lonely as me. I mean, I know I sound, well, I sound desperate, but I'm not. I just don't usually feel this way about someone and, and, uh, frankly, I'm just tired of wasting my days with this incredible ball of energy lodged in my heart, you know. Like I'm ready to explode with love for someone I've never even met. That's why I... you understand? That's why I think that maybe, if uh, if one day you decide you'd like to hang out with someone who cares more about you than you've ever guessed, well... you can always let me know. I'll be around. You know.

go get fucked Tim.

Well, I do enjoy pasta. I am tidier than most, but not in a "no wire hangers!" kind of way. And you are lovely. The ellipses alone are worth asking you to stay around. I return the sentiments.

xec8, I cannot believe you were able to swoop in and steal away my grammatical thunder, to say nothing of my grammatical intercourse. May you be bludgeoned repeatedly in the article by a sentence fragment, sir.

There ought to be a grammar-off. That would be without a doubt the sexiest thing in print.

Instead, since you have ended my heart with a preposition, I think I will go and pleasure myself with a series of compound-complex sentences.

The only way I could have ended your heart would be with a sentence fragment. I still want your assonance, there is no need to pleasure yourself alone!

Oh sure, but that's what they all say. After you've had all of the cacophony that you can handle, I will be expelled using alliteration onto my ass and an exit less embarrassing in experiencing there will never occur.

I am not like other girls! I will offer you iambic pentameter in such a way that will tickle your prose and win over your grammatical heart! No man can resist the sweet temptations of iambic pentameter!

[QUOTE=morey;1017629]if you hvaen't done something great by the time you're 15 you may as well just die.[/QUOTE]

If you are gonna die I suggest jumping off a building, go out in style, see how many flips you can get and challenge your friends.

But here you forget my antonym, my dear santa.exists! How could you forget that vile knave who stepped forward in my moment of grammatical and literary passion, during a time when I was peaking in predicates coupling with subjects and the rise of my rhetoric was in a rhythm akin to that of the Petrarchan sonnet, and now I'm plagued by thoughts of pasta and blank verse and the fear that a haiku lurks around each corner of conquest to fight my epic poem, and this haiku is so short and it has no rhyme and it claims only reason and its name will be xec8 and its subject will be you, santa.exists, and it will be flowery, no doubt, despite the restrictions intended on its form, and it will play to vague and general compliments out of the absence of acquaintance, and it will destroy and kill consonance, which I have hoped to constantly implement, and my day will end a bleaker day than before you, with your grammatical needs and your grammatical wants, came galloping on a sprung rhythm to steal away the onomatopoeia of my heart. Sadness grips me, and I fall to my knees to learn at the lap of listlessness - Tim, be my guide in this time of dire and desperate disorientation.

Every stage of life is better than the last. That teenage-identity thing is the worst because its a realization that the fantasy has ended, but trust the Roger Waters, del Cumfortably Numb, "I could not put my finger on it, now, the child is grown, the dream is gone". Once you, as the Palahniuk iterates through the Durden, accept your fate, life is a blast.

tim,
i feel the same way you do, i look around and wonder what im raelly doing with my life. hopefully you will find a meaning too like im trying to do now.

Or... maybe you and Tim should start an emo band like every other talentless kid who sees this pseudo-depression thing as a fashion accessory. Every once in a while one of those lame bands makes it, forcing people like me to change the radio station every third song because one of those I-need-therapy songs is about to start.

Eventually, it's true that most of [I]those[/I] kids end up working graveyard shifts at a 24-hour Kinko's, or maybe at Hot Topic, so in a way, you've got a future [I]somewhere[/I].

Who else is going to sell that pre-packaged, manufactured disdain to 15-year-olds, or hook up their friend's surprisingly broke emo band with free fliers at 2 in the morning?

It's one of those circle of life things.

And to anyone who thinks I was being mean... let's be honest: No one signs up for a forum this big and directs their first post at a three month old thread that never really got going to begin with.

It's obvious to me that cboyle IS Seeker, bumping his own boring thread, both for a lack of anything better to do with his time and a desire for attention.

I mean, even [I]finding[/I] a thread this obscure and boring after three months... give me a break. What did you use as search criteria, there, the color grey?

I don't know, the Fight Club forum isn't exactly hopping, this thread could've been on the first page still.

And just to clarify, I'm not saying that you are being mean and I'm certainly not condoning this kind of unoriginal cry-baby nonsense, I just think your scepticism is misplaced.

Meh, you may be right in that. I usually click New Posts... so nothing more than a day or two old ever comes up. I suppose a new user could easily find threads that old, since none of them will appear as 'read'.

But that was a pretty good mini-rant, eh? :banana:
