DAMMIT BILL !!!

[Ugly Dougly]

Damnit Bill, you're not cut out to be a vegetarian!

[AntiM]

Dammit Bill, what's with the unending box of crap which came with the cats?

[catinthefunnyhat]

Dammit Bill, have you been feeding the cats those vegetables?

[theCryptofishist]

Dammit Bill! Why didn't you tell me that IKEA had discontinued it's really useful dowel with pointed end and hanger! I had to endure that hell without that particular trophy.

Grrr.

[theCryptofishist]

And what's with this fucking case of bronchitis! Must you make me so miserable? Dammit Bill.

Dammit Bill! Why didn't you tell me that IKEA had discontinued it's really useful dowel with pointed end and hanger! I had to endure that hell without that particular trophy.

Grrr.

Still trying to figure out what this object might be...... Shades of Monty Python's "poinTED stick" come to mind, with a handy hook to hang it from, but something tells me I'm just not getting it.


(hope you feel better soon!)

[AntiM]

Dammit Bill, I dread this holiday. No TV for me.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Dammit, Bill! I cried walking to school today.

I know it's too late to quit. I'm in year 8 of a 4-year program. I have written over 250 pages of The Big Scary, and probably only need to write a few dozen more... the problem is, those are the hard ones. But I'm not sure that I will accomplish anything meaningful by finishing, other than getting some more and fancier (mixed case!) letters after my name and making some other people proud. It would also honour my partner, who has sacrificed a lot for me to follow this path. I shouldn't do this for other people, but maybe it will make me proud, too. And it's not like I've got a host of fantastic career options calling my name

HELP WANTED: Someone to surf the internet and stare out the window. Must be great at dreaming up and starting new projects; execution not essential. Some outdated computer skills are an asset. Preference will be given to middle-aged applicants who have been out of the work force for 10 years and whose training is irrelevant and/or obsolete.

Dammit, Bill. I never should have listened to you when I was choosing a field of study and you told me to follow my heart. You knew my heart was fickle.

Kids: Don't follow your heart! It's a TRAP!

If you pick a useless field of study because you're passionate about it, and to hell with practicality, where are you left when that passion dies?

[wh..sh]

Damnit Bill!!!!!
Cat, I am in the same boat. Maybe mine is slightly less sinking since its not 4 years long.
About a year ago, I signed up for school along with full time job. It was a personal goal. But, damn it!!! It's kicking my ass now.
I dont even know what I want to do with it now. So lost.
I was so passionate to turn this goal into something more meaningful, when I started. Now... I jusssstttt... waaaannnntttt... to finish the daaaammmnnnn thiiinnnngggg....

Talk about fickle heart. I am very certain that my heart is just messing with my mind.
I go from one brilliant idea to another from opening a coffee shop to becoming a movie director to writing to working at a book store to global management.

If its any help, here's how I look at it. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I probably never will.
But, scrambling through and attempting half-assed to find what I am looking for is sort of fun, in a sadistic way.
We make decisions based on what is right for us at a given time. There is no assurance that it would work for us few years down the lane. So, don't regret it.
Chin up, damn it!

PS: Yes, there are those happy, satisfied bastards out there. Let's just ignore them for now

[catinthefunnyhat]

Thanks, wh...sh I appreciate your understanding/encouragement. I shall try to re-find the fun in bouncing from passion to passion and to be grateful for having the opportunity to do so. AND I shall try to finish writing The Big Scary just so that I can say I beat the fucker.

[delle]

Dammit Bill! I hate hearing how people loose their oomph during the last stages of something great. It appears about the norm, I think.

And Dammit Cat!!! I'm very glad to hear you're going to persevere nonetheless. Those mixed-case letters will open many doors for you, whether related to the field of study or not.

My dad never completed his big scary. Even tho they referred to him Dr. anyway throughout his career, he knew it wasn't exactly true........... and we all could tell it was a real source of regret to him.


For myself, I've never completed ANYTHING. So I'm a pusher of peeps to do so themselves.....

[ygmir]

and Dammit Bill!! Some of us, are just satisified in our mediocrity, and dwell here in vanilla ice cream and white bread with mayo.

it's what makes you happy, and or satisfied, that counts, IMHO.
Not the title, the money, or the silk undies.

[wh..sh]

Damnit Bill! Why does yggy have to say this when he knows silk undies are the only things that adds meanings to our lives?

[ygmir]

dammit Bill!
silk undies are fine, for some, and make one want to feel bubbles and all.........but really?
I'd take a good pair of Superman undies, any day, and be proud to be in them!

[wh..sh]

Dammit Fucking Bill!! I am quieting watching the grade boat sink...

[delle]

Dammit Bill. Why'd I have to go and forget the big red o I was going to replace the Queens mouth with as she burned.

I swear I could write a freaking book on opportunities lost!!!

[AntiM]

DAmmit Bill, why didn't you tell me I wasn't immortal back when I thought I was?

[catinthefunnyhat]

Dammit, Bill! I hate sharing 3 washers and 3 dryers with 150 other people.
It makes me cross.

[wh..sh]

Dammit Bill, its just a roundabout! Why should people drive so slow and come to complete stop like they are confused?
It just a roundabout, not Call of Duty!

[theCryptofishist]

Dammit Bill, why didn't you remind me that saying something about people with a "bucket list" would be taken as a lack of empathy? I have to be enthusiastic about every single newbie, and every single trend in the event, for fear of treading on someone's sensitive corns.

And also:

Dammit Bill, why didn't you tell me to remember my damn admin password so that I update the damn software on my goddamned computer! In fact, why didn't you write it down for me?

[MyDearFriend]

(((Fishy))), people with their fucking bucket lists should keep that shit to themselves. I hate the Make a Wish Foundation and always have, JFC, can people not just live an authentic life???

[/rant]

Okay now Dammit Bill, wtf is wrong with me: a random memory hit me last night with a full-on, total sensory flashback to BRC. It was only a split second but the blast of grief and longing that followed was seriously no-shit scary; so intense, I hid my face in my pillow and cried.

Dammit Bill I am no where near ready to leave but I want to Go Home RIGHT NOW.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME ???

[theCryptofishist]

Dammit Bill, what do you mean this thread is too manly for me to give MDF a hug?

[catinthefunnyhat]

Dammit Bill why does Fishy think hugs aren't manly?

[wh..sh]

Dammit Bill, please take all your hugs over to the Fuck thread. This place is for some hardcore blaspheming.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Melted Jesus on a communion cracker, nobody goddamn told me that.
Dammit, Bill! Let's get high and deny Christ (again).

[catinthefunnyhat]

Dammit Bill, they told me this thread was for hardcore blasphemy, and I just learned that gadzooks is an old contraction of God's hocks.
Dammit Bill, God's butt! GOD'S BUTT!

[AntiM]

Dammit Bill, did you just let me delete a conversation off my FB because I knew it was futile and I didn't want to piss off someone I like? When I am right? Damn you, social media.

[junglesmacks]

Dammit Bill.. I need to download the Rosetta Stone for Canadian!

[ygmir]

Dammit Bill, tell J.S. you don't download Rosetta stone for Canadian, you pour and drink it.

[junglesmacks]

Dammit Bill.. WHERE'S MY WINE??
