Help?

Post by Lambic » Thu Dec 18, 2008 7:57 am

Hey guys, I think I need some help.

I live in New Hampshire, the dead center of it. Its cold and the snow falls thick, actually a beautiful place to live. I grew up here, and now Im here again trying to live.

Thats where the problem starts. I don't know how to live my life anymore.

I've been traveling since I was 18, and it's kept me going for the past 4 years. Ive done everything I have ever wanted to, even a lot that I didn't want to, to push me further.

I use to live in the Future, in my mind. It was all due to going to my first Burn, and it got me by for a few really long months. I was just thinking of that goal, that promise land that was BRC. Now that Im back in the default world full time, Im not holding up so well.

I need advice. It sounds like Im asking for the answer to life itself, but I really just need help in adjusting. It's all in my head, I just can't escape that space.

the great white north tends to do that to people, you are not alone.


i have been asking myself for years why i torture my body and mind every year by enduring the 6 months (or more) of winter that we get.

i am here because of circumstances beyond my control.

if you are not where you want to be, than go to where you think you should.

be careful, the old saying applies that no matter where you are, there you are.

it may not be the locale, it may be you.

most likely thats the case, and you need to do what will make you and your mind at be at ease, and comfortable, before you'll be able to do anything but ruminate on your own state of being.



i suggest a couple of eight-Balls, 20 or so viagras, a bevy of Hookers, and a Hotel Room with a jacuzzi and a View at the Bellagio.


i call it the "Larry" treatment.


sets my mind straight every time.

Try settling down to one spot a little longer, I hear it gets easier with time. Lord knows I wish I could - but I just always seem to fail miserably staying in one spot for more than 6 months. If it doesn't take - guess you could hit the road again, hard life but never a dull moment as you probably already know.

"i suggest a couple of eight-Balls, 20 or so viagras, a bevy of Hookers, and a Hotel Room with a jacuzzi and a View at the Bellagio. "

I normally go with lots of booze, a new tattoo, take four or five women with me and shoe horn all of us into a Luxor spa suite... at lest that's what I did last September - I think 5 of us shot through 600 dollars in booze in 4days/3 nights. NEVER AGAIN! But if you got to do it, remember to get a rubber ducky for the Jacuzzi - well worth the 5 bucks.

I find in the winter it always help to gather yourself amongst friends, drink some fine alcoholic beverages, and light yourself a huge fire :twisted:


btw, anybody know the statue of limitations on arson? :lol:
Excuse me Ma'am, your going to feel a small prick.
