You can also adjust this to be your default setting in your profile.

I think the reason why people are reacting so strongly to your posts is the tone of your posts. Why are you out there professing this to us? What are you trying to achieve? Okay, maybe you think you've found something that's really cool and you want to share. I can understand.

Just ask me about cheez doodles.

But the thing is, what makes you think that your philosophy is going to work for anyone else? Has it occurred to you that it may be working so great because you might not have had the difficult experiences yet that many of the older folks posting here have? Okay, sure you've had some difficult experiences. But seriously dude - how do you face the kids in the hospital ward that someone mentioned earlier? I don't think you responded to that. And that's wise. Because there ARE limits to your philosophy. I think that folks are just trying to warn you of that. In the same way that you want to share this cool thing that you've learned. Others want to share with you that sometimes life SUCKS and shit happens that is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY our of your control.

I don't know ass, but I know that I don't. You may want to leave some room in your philosophy to be an ass.

Read my first post, does anyone here actually follow every single thing that essay says? No. And that's why no one understands my point of view.

Sorry I know all of my talk might sound like I'm some cocky kid but the reality is there is not one single person in my life that can say anything bad about me. And yes, shit still does happen to me, its just a matter of how you look at it, and how you can make the best of it. Take my getting pulled over about an hour ago as an example. I felt like total shit because I knew he caught me in a complete oversteer, but in the end its going to work out for me.

:shrugs: I think I'm done. I've encountered the same problem with people I try to help in my daily life. They just think I'm talking out of my ass and trying to impose on them rather than help, that's where I just leave them alone. I guess I'll do the same here.

And yes, I am going to burning man this year, and plan to for every year for the rest of my life.

I'm currently busting my ass trying to get a theme camp going for this year with my brother and other group of friends coming. We already have sound completed, and it's going to be called "Watermusic and Housemelons" where you can come and enjoy some house music, while we serve you watermelons.

Yes, I plan on paying for everything out of my own pocket. I know if I try hard enough at my server job/music I can have the money for it. My friends who are dj's/producers got the sound handled. Me and my brother are bringing the shade structure, and I'm planning on bringing a giant refrigerated truck with watermelons. We'll see what happens, hopefully I can afford all of it. If not, next year for sure. :D

OK Armand, here is the most glaring example of your true moral character and maturity level...you are more concerned about "making it work out for you" with not much thought or care as to "doing the right thing" to begin with.

ok,,, I'm going to drift for a second. I'm reading about the Swine Flu & one of the symptoms is "lethargy".. How do you know if your lathargic if you generally "don't give a shit" ?

Da Mule · Post by **Da Mule** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 3:21 pm

Lethargy isn't just indifference....if you feel overwhelmingly sleep or drowsy even if you haven't done anything, and you have a fever, then maybe you should worry. Lethargy in the presence of no other symptom doesn't strike me as a problem. But if you start oinking, rolling in the mud and eating corn cobs, you might want to worry.

creatively yours,

I have a response for that but all I'm going to say is balls JK, balls.

That is all.

And I don't "make it work out for me," life does that part.

So I am to understand that you think that it takes balls to be irresponsible? Again, I would think that a person with "The Answer to Life" would not have to spend time and energy weaseling out of trouble; I would think a wise person would deport themselves in a way that would never cause them to make excuses for bad behavior to begin with.

Okay, here's the meaning of life:.......uh,.....oh damn..... I forgot it.

Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening ... when you'd have preferred to talk.

I like that quote. I think I'm going to put it in my sig for awhile.

Gizmostarr · Post by **Gizmostarr** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:12 pm

When we get to BM we should meet up and have a long meeting about the meaning of life. If we're really wise, not a word will be said.

We can call it: World Forum for Determining Life's Meaning

That will be the text on one big sign. Right beside that will be a sign that reads: Sshhhh!

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:14 pm

I'll put it on my list o' things to do pal.

!. Put up a shade structure.
!. Do some participating.
!. Suck up some adult beverages.
!. See some weird shit.
!. Oh yeah, I forgot, solve all the problems of the universe while dodging a dust storm. Check.

Right! But your number 5 is redundant - already covered by 1,2,3 and 4!

Well I'm not perfect and neither are you sir. You want me to nit pick every little thing you've done wrong in your life? BALLS JK BALLS.

What is your motive behind your accusations? Are you trying to prove that I make mistakes in my life? Because I think everyone on this earth makes mistakes buddy old pal.

Either way, I freakin love my life and I know I'm gonna love every bit of it for the rest of my life. I hope its the same for you.

I don't have to spend any time or energy 'weaseling' out of trouble. Go ahead, try and prove me wrong, cause either way my life rules.

I have no point. I am just enjoying playing with you for my own personal amusement. Again, I would have thought anyone that had "The Answer to Life" might have picked up on that already.

But I am now tired of you and this game, so I shall move on to another thread.

Armand is truly representative of his name.

he is SUCH an Armand.

every Armand i have ever known has been the same.

lets just leave it at that. i dont want to get all negative here and ruin the vibe.

im ok, you're ok.

the restraint i am showing is epic.

Simon, you are hardly living up to your formidable reputation for snark here. Amazing self-control indeed. I'm thinking you may have to be the first recipient of my playa gift: two minutes of bliss.

Well I have to say I always take this topic seriously. I'm fully aware of trolls/trolling but yea, it gets annoying after a while, especially when it gets to the point on some forums where every single person is trying to troll each other.

Either way, I feel I represented myself well.
