Feeling so lazy these days. Meh

Actually, more like unmotivated
Quite worrying imo if that goes for your life outside of work.

I do have a soft spot for the art chicks. At least they aren't as entirely caught up in emulating the selfie crew and other mobile phone whores who have no clue who they are other than a facsimile of what they think they need to be to be popular.
Yeah. I totally get that. I'm in touch with a lot of those and they even want the D. Such a pity I escaped those waters. Back in the days (oh I sound old now) I wanted a relationship but they just skipped on me. Nowadays I'm cold and they just keep popping up out of nowhere, wanting love and to give everything. And I'm so lazy, Jesus Christ, maybe it's the winter...

But every group of people has their thing. Even those that are into art have rather specific facebook/instagram profiles. I became an expert at judging that lol. It can be very annoying if they (and oh, they do) think of themselves special and how they stand out from the crowd. It's just another type of ego. Everybody thinks they are unique in the best way whether that's a part of hedonism and their main religion or type of music & art they are into.

And you can slam heroin in public so you'll feel right at home :baus:

Good luck anyways. Think it's awesome if you head to the civilised part of the World :D Not to mention how you, time and Juventus all of a sudden are coordinated.

Better get 'Greg's Portugese (European) Coffee Adventures' going.

Pro tip: you can get Brits to drink anything, so you might able to find soem stinky wine, put a fancy label on it, get a drunk celebrity to endorse it, and you've earned your retirement in Madeira :p
Ha! Great plan. And yes, heading over to the old delle Alpi (I still can't call it Juventus Stadium) would be much easier on the same continent. :D

Duce, you sort of are living the theory in that when you want it, you don't get it. And when you don't want it, you can't keep it away from you. Situationally that sucks on some level. That said, you're still my man-idol these days. :D

And yeah, art chicks fall to the same trappings -- except they are often driven again not by themselves, but rather by an opposing reaction to what all the other young women seek out to define themselves. Defining yourself simply by what you are not still blows off the real work of defining what you are and what you stand for on the inside.

You mean meet myself, or someone like me? :D

Anyway how's the new job?
Yourself. :D

It's pretty hard and hadful at the beginning tbh. My salary is 350e which is pretty "nice" considering the situation, but still very low to accomplish anything as an individual. In other words, and in other worlds, yes, my salary is very shitty. I've come to realize that I work for around 9 hours daily with a short break and hardly any time to go pee. I already learned bunch of stuff and it's nice to see the improvement. Still, pretty tough to end your shift and realize you're good for nothing. Way too tired and way too much time in-front of a PC. It drains too much and kinda sad to think how I'll work plenty of Saturdays too, which only leaves Sunday to rest and do the stuff I couldn't do over the week. Career is a cancer for life and there's no high enough salary to be worthwhile. It might be me, but I saw happiness in other things. Either way, gotta work for that piece of bread. I'll have to keep going and move personal bouderies at work, and personal, so I see what this year holds it for me. You just get to see so many bad people, and some good, if you can even define it somehow, or at some grounds. Pretty crazy to see some folks being ready to walk on corpses of others and see the literal evil in their eyes. Some great people too, hardworkers and with their cheeks clean on moral grounds. But such life, as it is now, is nothing but a prison to me. It's hard to find joy when you see yourself in some other world.

Haha, yeah. I used to hear about it and refuse to believe it. Nowadays I'm just living it. Can't say it's any good, though.

Man, your life must be tough and filled with some weird people. There's so much more in others :D so, yeah, I think you should change your friends. :D

Oh nah, I introspect way too much already :D

The plus side is that it's not too boring and slow, which I think is worse. I'm sure your work day flies by, even if it probably leaves you stressed, at least you're not watching the clock all day.

But unfortunately yes, we have to do this career shit :sick:

Sounds like some fucked up Wall Street place you work at though, with the kind of wolves you're describing.

What would you rather be doing if you didn't have to work there? Writing I guess?

Nah, that sounds more liek a depression, or low testosterone levels.
The latter, I doubt. I'm in good shape physically and still lift hard at the gym :D

The former, probably not that severe. Just boredom I think

Yeah. I only see sense in art (mostly literature at this point), spiritual and moral side of life. Personal development for me can be found at work, but not the happiness itself. But yeah, if I had to pick I'd write a whole lot. And I'd travel a lot if possible (while writing). :D One thing I know is that I'd never be bored with a lot of free time, unlike others apparently.

Yeah, one thing modern society keeps telling us, is that we are suppose to be happy all tiem. There's no such thing. Mood changes, happyness comes and goes. Feelings are interchangeable. It's probably just a "Pphase" :p

Sounds like you should keep working on your writing while you're forced to do this career thing. At least it's something you can look forward to when you finish work, and your writing will keep getting better.

Yup, I know it's a phase which is why I won't get depressed - cycles of ups and downs, it's normal. I'm just always looking for what I should be doing next.

When I hit one of thsoe periods, I usually do soemthing new and different. Trying soemthing I would have thought I'd never do; liek eating a girls butthole post stomach flu, trying a butt plug without the plug, eat a black mans dick, eat a black woman dicks, eat my own dick while I eat a black mans dick.

That sounds nice. But rather impossible. :D I come drained from work and I can't watch a movie, let alone do something with my own brain.

The struggle goes on! :D

The laziness/lack of motivation is in my work. But I think I'm just bored with life in general. Probably just need a change - some new challenge or hobby or something.
I was feeling similarly when I got back from Mexico. Definitely got pretty depressed
as I struggled to adjust to US culture.

So I tried climbing with my brother in law and it really helped things. I also started training for a half marathon and that's made life a bit more exciting. I have something to do everyday that has an end goal something to get better at, etc.

Find your half marathon.
