A little bit about you..

[Preach]

Agreed. We nee to have a talk, Fredrik.

Lol.

What I meant is that for a few years now, I've felt pressured to have a goal. In this day and age everybody has a fucking career. To me, life was never about making it in any specific field. I just wanna live and be happy day by day. Some people grow up wanting to be something, and they follow through on it. In hindsight I look back at my motivations for whatever goals I've held over the years, and I clearly see that I never wanted those things because I actually wanted them, or because they mattered to me. My conclusion is that those people that do follow through had a more realistic motivation for having that particular goal.

Anyway, you don't work hard for something you don't want. I've been troubled with a guilty conscience for years. Kinda like, considering myself a failure waiting to happen. Bad self image, etc. I finally found a way to argument the logic in my own head to convince myself that not wanting to be anything particular is actually okay. That doesn't mean I don't wanna make it as far as I can, it just means that success can mean many things to me.

It's more natural for a person like me to stop worrying about the shit. It's like that saying, if you're looking for something you'll find it when you stop looking. In my case that's pretty true, because I'm happier than I've ever been since I learned to be more selfish and think more about what I want.

Yeah late starter.. My brother is older than me and still isn't driving, its just weird..

Oh and Yorkshire aye? Thats where my Fam is from.. Leeds/Skipton styles..

aye, you know and speak yorkshire slang and you are on the other side of the world, that's good. yes Leeds in west yorkshire is next to south yorkshire where i'm from, white rose county

yeah i think i was put off the idea of learning to drive early because of the high price of insurance for under 25's here. my insurance is cheap compared to what it would cost to be 18 years of age and i haven't even got my 1 years no claims bonus yet. basically i saved up enough money to pay for all my lessons, tests, and to buy a car as soon as i passed my tests. the cheaper insurance helped me do all this at once, so i wasn't waiting around saving for a car after i passed. so yeah i don't mind being a late learner, in the end it couldn't have worked out better for me at the chosen time.

Can't help it, my Grandad still says things I have no idea what he's going on about.. haha.. its pretty funny though..

 

[S. Fourteen]

Live in Twin Cities, MN

Born and raised in Hyogo Pref. Japan

I am moving to a tiny south pacific island with Duke. We're taking kittens and marijuana seeds with us.

My excitement in life is pretending to hide behind my StreetHop username.

I am 27 years old.

The most exciting thing this year so far was getting high and drunk at a wedding and experiencing the power of the tux.

My future plans include visiting my Dad in Japan before he dies.

that is just typical for american/canadian families though, they probably grow up not knowing what its like to do a hard days work earning and saving for such things

Can't help it, my Grandad still says things I have no idea what he's going on about.. haha.. its pretty funny though..

that's cool, a good example of the typical Yorkshire dialect can be found in the television episodes of Last of the Summer Wine, using words like 'owt' as in can't do owt, leave people wondering ... what does 'owt' mean?

did you and your family emigrate jess, though you still have family in yorkshire?

 

[ArtsyGirl]

My parents moved over my Dad was 10ish Mum was 6ish..

Someone's been drinking. lol

 

[Elmira]

YOU KNOW! When I am drunk I can barely read a word in the newspaper, every word looks foreign to me, like it is written in another language. I have to squint and it's all soo blurry. I cannot read let alone invent my own new language when I am drunk. I daresay masta is not drunk, but rather his health is failing or there is a problem with his mental state and some kind of lunacy or disease has become him. Everyone should be worried -- most of all, masta.
