Why do I drink and whore like there is no tomorrow? Why don't I give a dam about anything? Why don't I beleave in something? I get this way when I drink sometimes, I try to figger it all out but I get no answer. Growing up I trid to beleave in a God everyone said pray and and you will feel the power of God in you I have never felt anything, nota I thought for awhile I was the only man with no soul. Maybe I am. I always come here and read or something when I am realy drunk. So who gives a big rats ass anyway.

JT,
just the fact that you come here means that you do give a damn, and there's something that you're not getting that's making you very angry. i think what one should say to oneself is "i am where i'm meant to be" and try to find/see the positive things that are occuring in one's life. even though our situations are not to our liking, there usually is something right about it. just the fact that your presence here is a blessing and source of happiness to others is one good reason to know you're valued and loved. it just takes a twist in one's thinking sometimes to turn it all around. no one can do that for us but ourselves. you can do it too. we must accept, if you do that, we might loose the cookiemonster of a guy we've come to love, but we might really like the happy JT just as much, maybe more. you're a capricorn. it's time to climb that mountain , and be the true "goat" you're meant to be. you won't fall. :-)

You are right, pato...JT will NOT fall as we all are here to push him up that mountain. You are not an "old goat" either, JT so continue climbing that mountain and reach your desired heights...once there, you will be able to look down and see where you came from. Makes the climb so worth it.

Pato~ what awesome advice you have shared, thanks. I have a male Cappy friend who is not a happy camper. I have known him for many years. He is still very bitter from his wife divorcing him over 15 yrs. ago even though it was not a good marriage at all. His next relationship after that was very disfunctional and he held onto this one for 10 yrs. before getting out (not sure if he really--totally is yet). He constantly has a sty in his eye and they get very bad..so bad he cannot see out of his eye. In looking to why we have certain illness they can tell a lot of where we are emotionally. I looked sty up....it said that he is looking at the world in an angry way. And yes, he is. He talks about that all the time. His daughter moved out and I am sure this is a huge bother to him. She couldn't take not having freedom to be herself. It is so hard for me to see him going through all of this and I know there is nothing I can do (except send silent blessings his way). He must change when HE is ready to change. And as you say, Pato..."it just takes a twist in one's thinking sometimes to turn it all around."

thanks freebird...being a cap myself, i know all the pains that come with it. not that i've worked the whole thing out either. i do know that sometimes disease comes from dis -ease. lacking peace. if you can try to steer your friend in the direction of looking at the good points in his life, that might help. not looking back at the pain, for a moment, just be in the moment, and also look towards the future, not with a fear, but with a belief that it could and just might be be wonderful.

and JT, even if you find some happiness, i don't think you'll ever loose that razor sharp wit you have. you're the best.

lol...scotch_tate.
anyway.the ja-bob-bee story:..it all started in high school when my girlfriend and i used to imbibe in a bit of herb. we would go to a place in our minds called ja-ba-ba-land. well, told the story to my current guy pal, and he has since called me ja-bob-bee. it has now changed meanings somewhat, in that he uses it to describe little things (me) and like little miniture things like, lets say a small bottle of maple syrup. it would be a ja-bob-bee bottle.
we could call you 3M for short...(it's american tape):-)

i think we all create our own futures. we can be our worst ememies or our best friends. i do believe it is the human condition, though, that we eventually destroy everything. ourselves and the worlds in which we live. that sounds so pessimistic, but look at the world. it's only humans that are destroying it and the human race in general.
so eat, drink and be merry, as the bible says...for tomorrow...well, you know.
