I would suggest finding someone that is adventurous like yourself, and willing to at least try your hobbies. My first serious gf had no interest in cars, and that put a major damper on things.... I'm doing much better this time around.

Also find someone that you can learn from, but that is willing to learn from you as well. When you are learning from each other, is when you will discover the most about each other, no matter what you are doing.

And most importantly, find someone that you love spending time with. I'm talking can be together literally nonstop and not get tired of them.
I agree. The hard part for me is meeting people. Nerves.

The distraction bit. I don't know if I ever really realized that. It does sound true. It would be nicer to do those things I love with someone. Then it is not dividing my time.

Sorry, Sid.
That person does not exist.
If you find someone to share life with thats great.
Nothing wrong with being alone.
Alone and lonely are not the same thing.

I like to think that but I keep finding myself in denial. When I have something to do it keeps my mind off it but once I have idle time it goes right back to loneliness.

Yeah. That means no obligatory pic, either. All I got, was a pic with your kid. I didn't realize he was going to bring that mini amp. I never bothered with a chord. I should have kept it and fixed it too, while I am at things. You do have a great family. You have yourself a beautiful wife there, kids too. I hope they enjoyed the rest of their day at Universal Studios. Turns out my furniture moving plans that were sprung on me last night were changed - after I was back home. I could have spent the rest of the day with them, being a tourist.

Holding pattern, Max. This fear of tests is killing me. I just need to put in a few good weeks of studying, hold my breath and get the written out of the way. I have not been in the air, since most of the time I need to accrue really matters only after I pass my written. Tomorrow I finish preparing my taxes, then I friggen hit the books!!

Definitely true Vas, and for some people it works better to be alone. I just know for me, I would rather be with someone that makes me happy, than to be alone. However, that would only be if that person makes me happy.


I should add these are merely the ravings of one lunatic. I by no means have a clue what I am doing, just like pretty much everyone else. All I can do is sit back, observe, and call it like I see it.

Thats a deep question.
To fully uderstand, one needs to see the relatoinship between thought and time.
You are a young man with plenty of years to look into it.
Its the most important thing in life to understand. IMO
Good luck, enjoy life.

Max, I searched for dyes that would fade with UV exposure. That's the idea. Most dyes today are light fast.

So far no one else is sick so best guess is the food. Should be up to 50% by tomorrow. Connors best chance to kick my butt.
