Random Rants XLIV: I Can't Find The Answer

[aimeeandbeatles]

I usually have coherent memories from dreams

 

[JohannaK]

Well it depends of what happens of the dream, but I can picture with great precision 4 dreams, and part of a 5th, which memory is blurry in general but I still remember bits of it.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well anyways I am making my idea now so if it works that will be very neat.

Learning another language is difficult and I'm struggling.

You're not joking. Learning another language is bloomin' impossible. I manfully struggled with French for over 10 years until eventually a Frenchman complimented me on my French by saying: "I understand every word you say, but you'll never ever pass for a French person." At least, I supposed it was a kind of compliment. Who knows? He was French.

Well here is a rant: It failed epically Worth a try though

The only dream I had recently I could coherently remember was; I met Bill Gates through a friend of a friend or something, but I just had no idea what to say to him so we just kind of stood in awkward silence for a sizable amount of time.

A few hours after I woke up I had, like, staircase wit for this social occasion that never actually happened as I asked myself: "Why didn't I ask him about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?"


Anyway, big rant: I'm going to hospital for surgery tomorrow. Again. 7th time in 4 years.

I just realized I never mentioned what it was but it was about an Antlion Guard smashing through a wall of Companion Cubes. So I used a stacker stool to make a big wall of cubes, put the guard on one side and me on the other.

At first it ignored me. Then I got its attention and it literally ran through the cube-wall and none of them moved and I don't know why. I didnt even weld them or anything.

I hate it when someone in my family disses what I enjoy: Modding games. "Games." "It's nothing I know about. It's a different world. A virtual world." The tone of voice used saying those words was especially irritating. As if I'm expected to spend my free time doing something else. As if I should be doing something else that he finds more enjoyable. As if I don't jump up to help the minute there's even the slightest chance of helping him because I want to be useful.

Yes, I know I'm not a member of the Extremely Productive Persons Society. I know I'm not doing something you enjoy, while you do something I don't enjoy. But please. If you don't have something in mind that you want me to do.... If you don't have something in mind that you want me to help with.... If you don't have anything constructive to say about what I do with my free time.... Please, spare me your condescension.

I usually get no responses back when I send my applications in .

My problem is that all of my experience is in work that is not entry level whatsoever but I can't get actual jobs in it because I don't have a college education, so I'm forced to apply for entry level jobs, which I have no experience in.

Oh work system, you so funny.

these are the right thoughts (yours, I mean).


Rant myself: This will be the 4th night this week with max. 5 hours of sleep. Where the hell is this damn time going to?

 

[Skwink]

Some guy lead the police on a really long chase, going over 100 mph. He left his car on my street, and kept going up the hill on foot to around where my Grandparent's live. Heard that they didn't catch him, but the PD is refusing to tell us wether or not he's still around here.

Cheer up, it's not that hard, maybe you need a change in methods. What're you speaking?

Sorry, but Red Foreman would only ever play Pong. Not your newfangled, notAmerican, Communist inventions.

Tell him. What games do you mod, by the way?

Good luck.

Rant: My wife is still sick and has thrown up once or twice today after throwing up 4 times last night. Damn food poisoning.

Every time i buy coke these days im extremely fearful that it won't open and i won't get my fix.

You're just angling for a quotes thread nomination, eh?

How old are you? Do you live at home? My family doesn't understand why I make music. They're not particularly artistic or invested in art, which is fine, but their reception of my interests ranges from indifference to "Yeah he's young and probably just needs to get it out of his system", of course, few of my family members, the ones I'm close to, do understand it, which is heaven. Then again, it helped a lot to move out and go nuts by myself and simply not care when they misunderstand why the hell I'm doing what I'm doing. (Like "hey lj what are you going to do after you finish studying music, can you get a job with that degree, like, ever?")

Value of productivity is relative. Reasons for productivity varies. Also, much of what you do might create ripple effects and inspire other people's breakthroughs without your ability to influence it, or even know, ever.

Seriously, don't let them hate on you for creative activity. I can never concentrate long enough about a modding project to actually finish it, I've tried many times. I think it's a blissful ability to provide for a community, no matter what small it is. Also, you'd be surprised to see where your creative abilites might happen to lead you. Cough.

I know I'm not doing something you enjoy, while you do something I don't enjoy. But please. If you don't have something in mind that you want me to do.... If you don't have something in mind that you want me to help with.... If you don't have anything constructive to say about what I do with my free time.... Please, spare me your condescension.

You're totally right, and screw those people that would ruin your hobbies. They don't deserve your time when acting up like that.

Somebody telling you how to live your life?

Kick 'em in the shins.
