Sheesh, Supes, it's 115 degrees out here and I need help finishing my chopper mock-up before Jr. arrives in November.

I'll buy you a plane ticket.

Seriously.

As luck would have it, I'm flying into your area on Wednesday evening. I'm scheduled to help load, and then drive a U-Haul truck full of household furnishings back to Washington State. We will want to arrive in Wa St this weekend, so it's a whirlwind tour. I'd rather work with you, though. Does beer taste good when it's 115 degrees outside?

BlueSkyJaunte 06-27-2005 03:31 PM

Gluten free beer does. :D

Serve chilled!!!!

Holy Hell. What's a bologist, Tabs? I can hardly type this message, for I am drained from reading your tired rhetoric. Terry, to bring this thread back to you, volunteer. It only needs to be for an hour a week to start out, or less. I bring my kids to a nursing home and they talk to the residents. The residents love seeing kids and the interaction is great. I realize you don't have kids, so maybe you could show them your Porsche? I bet you could clear a drive in the parking lot for anyone interested. I'm actually going to pose this to the home I volunteer at, now that I thought of it. Try it once. If you don't like it, you never have to do it again. This, by the way, coming from a guy that is about to drop $2500 on houndstooth seats for my ride, and looking forward to the next purchase. Don't be too hard on yourself.

terry, if you are not sabotaging your current situation to get into another one, then no goddamn problem. but if you are constantly looking for another hotter and younger girlfriend to bang, then that is anoth.. nevermind, STILL NO GODDAMN PROBLEM!

just dont do anything destructive to yourself and others. buy more houses, bang more hot chicks, save more money, fix more stuff....in the end, you will be richer, smarter, and you penis will fall off. haha. i am just jealous.

Seems about right to me.

... from Cheryl Crow's last album. good song.

Shaun @ Tru6 06-27-2005 05:34 PM

Terry, we're a little alike, except I don't have the hot girlfriend. All your activity says that you are trying to fix something, think back to around 8-years-old for what that might be.

Anyway, I agree with everyone RE: service. It's what life is all about, making the life of the next guy a little better, and there are so many guys who need your help.

Become a Big Brother, focus on giving back for awhile and your brain will calm itself.

Terry - too much time sober. Get the ***** out of your head man!

Try this - buy a one way bus ticket to Dallas, Memphis, Chicago or Cleveland.

Go with 20 bucks in your wallet and nothing else. Once you get there, try to get by on the streets. Become homeless for awhile. See what that is like. Do the soup kitchens and beg for some change. Sleep on the benches and try to earn enough to make your way back home.

If you do it - you might like and accept what you have and your head will be clear. Tae a long shower and love your woman twice.

If you don't make it back, you don't deserve anything you have aquired.

LeeH 06-27-2005 10:00 PM

Dang Shaun, you beat me to it. Cheryl's song Soak Up The Sun has been overplayed, but if you listen to the lyrics it's pretty profound.

"You have a fancy ride, but baby, I'm the one who has the key." ... "It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you got."

I worked in a video store when I was in college. The upper middle class owner used to get so peeved at his customers who lived down the road in the trailer parks. It just killed him that these folks were happy. "They're too stupid to know how unhappy they should be," he would say.

But... why do we want more and more stuff? Why the drive to acquire? My feeling is that the advertising industry is to blame. They spend billions of dollars figuring out how to get under our skin. They hire psychologists and test the ads on focus groups until they know what works. Then we get bombarded with the messages from morning until night. Radio, TV, billboards, magazines, movies... it's a constant message that you will be unhappy, unpopular, unattractive, and unloved - until you buy the product. Many buy into the messages and buy the stuff. Of course the products don't bring the advertised results so there's a sense of disappointment and/or depression. But another ad promises another product will result in a fulfilling life. In an effort to get over the disappointment surrounding the last acquisition we buy, buy again. The cycle repeats itself ad infinitum.

Terry in away I'm kinda like you, I'm a collector a pack-rat what ever you want to call it, just cant let things go ,one of my worst was collecting hotwheels,i have over 5,000 still in the package, and unknown amount out of the package and i couldn't stop.

If you are collecting thousands of toys cars we are NOTHING alike.;)

BTW: Since I posted this yesterday, this has turned into some serious kum by ya sh_t. I love you guys. Not in that way though tabs. I know you got excited for a second.



:) ;) ;) ;) ;)

You sound like a gemini :D

JeremyD 06-28-2005 06:46 AM

yeah, man up terry - nothing that a good drunk fest can't cure.

TerryBPP 06-28-2005 07:05 AM

Trust me. Every Friday is a drunkfest. :D

MotoSook 06-28-2005 07:22 AM

I though the thread was starting to take a turn toward....Bible Camp (nothing wrong with that). :)

I don't think Terry is in any trouble. He's just pondering things that some of us do from time to time. Some folks out there never bother to or don't have the self awareness to ponder such things.

Get a bottle of top shelf and grab the sexy girlfriend by the hands then go watch the busy world fly by from your balcony. The restlessness will never end! That's why I have two 911's, two crotch rockets and the Jeep to haul it all to where ever the wind blows me....as long as you can afford it....it's fine! You earned it, and screw the materialistic BS. Life in general is all about materialism...if you really need to feel good about yourself...send me your cash and I'll send you a happy happy joy joy Hallmark card every week :D
