oops * going out OR not of

Oh your question makes more sense now lol.

Well I'm the black sheep of my family. It normally works out to much less baggage and a lot more freedom to do what the hell I want 🙂

He's meeting the family? Jeez, score one for internet dating.

Hahha I know right?

SEE, ladies! When we introduce you to our family, that's a HUGE sign 😛

Got nudged by a car today 😄 did I say nudge? I got hit by a car today lol! Lucky all limbs intact and no serious injuries!

Stay with us snozzy, stay with us. You are the only Aqua man here and if you leave us, I shall burn down your entire board. Be wise 😄

(That is my way of saying, I am rather relieved)

By the way, here are a couple of my pieces.

Simple but beautiful pieces of work indeed. There is something about the colours in the first piece which one could really like, hmm.
Thank you for sharing Pisco, our residentially ever so talented mermaid.

Got a msg from ex cap: Hey I just wanted to let you know I got promoted, I am the big boss now, wtf!! I soo want to reply "and I don't give a shit" but I am thinking.. maybe I should be polite 🙂

I would pay you to say that phrase, yes that is correct, I would. After all, he called 911, what did he expect? 🙂

Mr.D - As others have expressed. We are sorry to hear about the situation in regards to your mother but as you had expressed, it is treatable, therefore please pull together, she will need your support. I wish her all the very best, especially for her treatments, that they should go about smoothly with positive results. You are strong, you will get through this.

rocky - Sigh, I am truly sorry to hear about her 😢 You did all the best in which you could have for her during the entire time. Let it out if you must, but she most likely loved you and cared about you a lot in return despite her state. You truly gave her your heart and she knows it, take care of yourself.

Question: How would you all feel about going out of being close friends with someone who has no immediate close family? Seeing reading about dimpz introducing her awesomo new bf to the fam.

Already?! Wow, I must say, that was quick. He must be quite something, dimpz 🙂

Where are thy minions of The Quantum Force?

One thing I respect about London is you can find a patch of grass with yards of space either side by the Thames river, and be in the middle of people but have your own space to yourself.


You could also hop on a boat and ride out to the British mainland waters, and from there, who knows? Just wave goodbye to it all. But then that wouldn't really be what living is about, at that last moment, you remember. And you turn back away from the evening sun to face the city again. Not today.

Reminds one of Paris, your description that is, but different in stylistic flair?

Posted by tiziani
Yeah like Paris at the Seine just minus the rude people. If I were boating out from Paris, I'd never turn back.

The Brits have you enamoured much more so than The French, though I would never take the boat out of Paris, never. Someone would have to kill me before I get on them, if at all. By car, by train, by plane but not boat, at least not the ones there, unless one takes me out on their own. I would most certainly oblige 🙂

So what is new with the resident Libran gentleman, Monsieur tiz?

Have you ever noticed how many people believe karma being doing the right thing? Even if "doing the right thing" comes at the expense of being true to themselves? Always the right answers for everyone, no mistakes, no risk taken, none ventured, nothing gained.

Apparently that's good karma. But what's good karma going to do if it's standing in your corner, and you're still an asshole?

Asshole, porcelain goddess, worship and a believer. Confessional relief.


Well, there is the asshole, the knowing asshole, and the knowing but reformed asshole. Which variant are you speaking of?

All you Librans are too kind.
Take our Stinger route- end the call, or say "Good for you" then end the call, or truly say "I do not give a shit." Certain individuals, never take the hint, but pick up and end call, no words said, is nothing short of a classic.

All the 'calls', replace with text, same concept 🙂

If you have a full time job, does that absolve you of the rest of life's responsibilities and getting shit done when it needs to be done?

*laughs*

Lately I'm thinking the reformed ass is the worst of the lot.

I would taking the knowing asshole over an oblivious self-righteous asshole nonetheless. At least then we can be assholes together.

There are so many shades to asshole divinity, it does leave one sitting on the ledge. A knowing asshole but sits around and does nothing about it, annoys me though, passive aggressive, I mean if you could change certain aspect of yourself, for yourself, knowingly so for the better, than do it, do not mope around and accept that is all you have got. Would you call these self-righteous assholes?

Although a knowing asshole, who knows this is who they are and not something they can change innately, nor easily, then I simply see them as a lost cause, keep them at arm's length and go day by day, not their fault they are the way they are.

No, since most people have other responsibility besides work... someone u know used that argument?

My brother. All the fucking time. I'm getting tired of hearing it.

"I WAS WORKING FULL TIME AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME!!"

I'm the bad guy for not being understanding and telling him he's full of shit.

We just had another argument about all the misc. bs and I'm tired of hearing this comeback. It's like, okay, I can't be the only one who thinks wtf about this. I get that people get busy and some (minor) things go by the wayside until they get time. But in his case, he's just shit at time management. Like really, really badly. :/

Working full time is never an excuse. Everybody works and still manages to get their stuff done. If you want or need to get something done, you will find a way!

It's all about priorities.

Always. Work may be ones life but it can not be everything, my opinion.

*laughs*
Maybe that is why no one makes it unto our board to complain about Scorpettes, we killed all our evidence. What is nice again? 😄

I believe you, sure you could confront, again only until pushed, is that right? Well, Stingers are blunt, fixed, end of story, deserving or not.

That's true TLS. Being the same person day to day and never doing anything to change is not only pretty unforgiveable but also pretty dead in my book. Knowingly or not. It makes me feel useless to be around someone in that type of space. It doesn't really speak to their character as much as it just speaks to our relationship. What am I doing that motivates them to just never learn from their mistakes or never change? I'd rather see myself out the door than be in that setup.

To me a knowing asshole is at least someone who is in touch with themselves. As opposed to delusional people who think aspiring to be something is good enough and that's all there is to it.

I think the biggest way in which I've sold myself short before (and so find it easiest to identify in others) is having too high standards, as an excuse not to play ball. "This isn't good enough for me" "if that happens, I won't allow it" etc. There's way more to find at the bottom of the tank than that.

This is how I see a knowing asshole but reformed. It would be an individual who is in touch with themselves, but moves beyond this plane by making changes to find their better selves, taking initiative, putting mere thoughts and knowledge into actions. Now they may not be striving for what is commonly or socially known as 'good qualities etc.', but they do strive for an improved, better version of themselves, for themselves. That I admire, because it takes out the self-righteous bull that may come otherwise, also this change is infinitely truer than any other forms, it radiates sincerity.

Personally, I see one must always know everything which exists at the bottom of the tank and what exist in the highest pedestals within the skies, only then one can discover what is the variant that is best for themselves and their being. To know the entire spectrum, gives one a choice, to only focus on one, only blinds, leading to ignorance.

Karma will do its own work, one can not wait for it, expect it nor put ones intentions upon it. That is a waste of energy and time. Let it be, focus on the self, what one should do and improve, continue moving forward. Otherwise, one will fall into a whole a land of forever pending moments, instead of striving and mastering them for themselves. Why wait, that bores, go out and do. Life goes on.

Agreed.

I'm like tough shit. At the worst of all this, I was full time and then some with school, plus 20-25 hours of work each week, plus taking care of my mom/dealing with all her appointments. I still made sure bills were paid, that we had groceries, the animals fed, etc.

"Well I work full time and I was going to school too!" (ladida, one class) And when he comes home, it's him sitting on his ass and doing nothing.

Now, it's a tad different because he's got his own business, but it's worse because his work days are now longer and cue more whining about being oh so tired and not being able to do anything. It's just more of the same from before, except add on him working more than he said he would when he got into this.

I told him how when I talked to my friends about the situation as a whole (school, medical, work, etc.) they stop me and ask where my brother is in all of this.

"WELL DID YOU TELL THEM I WORK FULL TIME??"

.....

On the 4th, I was headed over to a friend's. He had the audacity to say "well, I can't do anything today because I have to stay here and take care of mom. 😢 "

...You're kidding, right? I went through the roof.

Since March, this is the first extended break of free time I've had from appointments since... the end of 2010. It's been soo nice to make semi extended plans because my time isn't taken up by 38593 appointments. It's been nice to be able to say "yes" to plans instead of "I can't" or "I'll have to see because of (some medical situation)"

*headdesk*

Sorry, I'm done. I just have the hardest time fathoming his logic.

Do excuse me, but he sounds utterly selfish with his time. He either has poor time management skills, an inability to prioritize or pure lack of spirit/will thus contributing to his laziness.

Well, has anyone ever told him, he is not the only one in the world who works full time. That is hardly an excuse, that is simply life, everyone works, some part time, some full time, some multiple full time jobs but this never stops them from functioning as a whole in society and as a part of a family. Perhaps, he should learn the world does not revolve around him, and him only but with others alongside him, at least he should think others matter just as well, or does he sit on a certain special pedestal because if he does, when people look up, all they will see is an asshole. Remind him of that.

I do apologize if that came across bluntly, if not harsh.

Don't be because I agree with you. Anything we need him to do is solely done when it's convenient for him, not when we need it done. He does have very poor time management and he doesn't think beyond his own needs. His friends and work come first, we come when it's best for him and his schedule. It's pretty annoying. I'm just tired of all the bs excuses.

I loled when you referred to pedestal. I've told him the same thing. He gets so incredibly offended when he's called out on his shit. I'm like wow, you must have yourself on some amazing pedestal if you think you're exempt from being told you're not getting shit done.

He's not a bad kid, just does not have his shit together or his priorities straight.

No, one never said he was bad but he does need to step outside of his own bubble to see the damage he is causing wherever he goes or else he will wind up lonely, at worst alone. He needs a good ol' smacking unto the back of his head, someone to cut his strings and bring him back down to earth, he must see straight sooner or later, this will become rather ridiculous if he continuous the way he does. Does he not realize, in doing so, he will eventually alienate those whom are close to him, then, and then he will wonder why it had happened, too late!

Though I am curious, what Sun Sign is he?

tiz - Their rudeness amuses me or perhaps I have a very twisted sense of humour.

"The French people just carry on speaking French. No one understands them. They don't understand why more people aren't making an effort to speak in French... in Italy. They still think French is the most universally important language in the world."

Ay, typical, very typical, occurs all the time in Paris, never accommodate tourists, if they visit, they learn French! *bursts out laughing at the audacity of it all*

Posted by tiziani
I am both, yes. I think it's a decent mix in the end but I'm glad I found Italy after all of it. Coming up young and French educated, you learn how to make excuses for everything. And in Britain, "the plucky loser" mentality gets the most approval. "You tried hard, that's what counts". You never get anything done that way.


In Italy it's Machiavelli. Kill or be killed. And enjoy some good wine while you're at it.

Ah, you have me there. I do love them brits, the english do have their special ways, the humour gets me like none other, preserver and onwards, one must try before they can die. Italian's passionate way of living is- yes, no, or out you go, done with a few words of love, a fight here or there, drink some wine, bed the next beautiful woman. But then again you have mentioned all three whom I love, you forgot the Spaniards though.

"Coming up young and French educated, you learn how to make excuses for everything."

I laugh when I read this, that is how the young'uns pass Le Bac, through bullshitting 🙂

I think its hilarious when people say New Yorkers are rude. They obv never truly saw rude lol

New Yorkers are rude? Meh, they are simply like any other cosmopolitan city to me.

Posted by tiziani
TLS, as for the Spanish... I wouldn't know what to say. Madrid living was nice when I was there, but the late nights weren't for me. Could never get adjusted to eating earliest at 10 pm. And the language wasn't for me either. I don't have any complaints against Spain. I'm happy enough to let them do them. My favourite parts were living in Malaga later and driving up the mountain range in San Pedro. And the day I spent in Al Hambra.

Al Hambra, one never forgets the beauty of such a place, certain photographs taken in that palace, came out like a water color painting, breath-taking. Your multiple base or loves seems to reside in these three main hubs- London, Milan and Dubai.
It matches your thinking, pretty progressive, forward thinking, not particularly in politics or culture but in style .

tiz - It was a toss up between choosing Dubai or Beirut, I think your heart lies in Beirut but your mind in Dubai, that is if one must contrast the two?

tiz oh tiz, the man who traveled the lands in nothing more than a battle worn Peugeot, which tells of many stories, now will he share? You will have to sit tight, wait silently and perhaps in it all, their tales may unravel. Countries he has roamed, on roads unknown, many a faces he has seen, but how many a souls have he touched, a heart lay broken here or there and thus is the gentleman as we known him as, today. His many treks, high and low, has shaped him into nothing more or less than a man that he is, winding pathways, he has traveled, the soils he has touched, the food and wine of thy spirits enticed, the waters in which his hand has but brushed, gentle tensions, wind blows and he breathe upon airs beyond our realm. Look closely but far enough and he may be the one, that you see, yes, right there, that is him.

I've lived in London, Miami, Port of Spain (Trinidad - and had the best lobster and crab chilli soup of my life in Tobago), Oslo, Stockholm briefly, France (Paris, Montreuil-sur-Mer, Toulouse and yet much to my ex's eternal anger I've never stepped foot in Lyon), Zurich, Madrid (and Malaga), Beirut didn't really live there but jesus that was an eventful summer where I definitely left a lot of myself behind, and Seregno in Italy.

The rest I've visited, like Egypt and mainland Europe, Czech Republic. Funnily enough I've never been to Germany. I've driven through there but never set foot in Germany. Never been anywhere near the Far East or down under.

I think Lady Scorp and 911 have me beat in the travelling stakes.

Motto- Get on a plane and fly away. Find a car, a train, a yacht but never stop moving, life awaits you. Anywhere, everywhere.

Yes, do regale us with your tales some time.

"taking a 5 series with the winter chains off the tyres and going for a spin on an ice lake in Norway. Good times 🙂"

Nothing better, way back in the day, long ago. My friend had the audacity to do so with his 7 series, over ice. He was mad, but for a certain white knuckled adrenaline rush fun, it was well worth it.

(Had a bit of amusement playing with words above, never mind me, got carried away) 🙂

Staying in Vegas with some old friends, was meant to be coming over late Sept for a whole month but can't stay for that long anymore leaving a bit sooner around mid November, meeting another friend on the way back in NYC and I'm so excited!!

Need to pack a suit as well, I wonder where I put it lol, attending a wedding there by the looks of it too haha. It was literally "Hey Erik, you know Exo (our friend) the quiet one, is getting married right? And to my surprise it wasn't his long time girlfriend of 10 years.
