Gone Girl was a great movie, best mainstream film I've seen in a while. All I knew going in was that it was a 2.5hr movie w/ Ben Affleck being falsely accused for his wife's murder, so expected it to be mediocre updating of "The Fugitive" that I was going to be wishing would finish an hr in

But it wasn't that at all, very well-done fun movie w/ a bunch of cool twists. Highly recommend it.

Tyler Perry also surprisingly very good in his role. Was kinda weird that the audience in the theater kept breaking into hysterical laughter at things that were clever, but not particularly appropriate to laugh at based on tone of film.

I am still a little confused about a couple things tho (spoilers):

Spoiler:
We are shown several scenes of Affleck's character being a bad husband (hassling her about her $, playing video games and ignoring her, having selfish sex w/ her, pushing her into the staircase). At one point he denies ever being violent w/ her, was he supposed to have been lying when he says this or was the scene we saw not real? The way the plot unfolds make me not sure if these scenes were supposed to have really occurred or not. Guess it doesn't really matter considering the way the movie ends up playing out, but slightly puzzling

I find your logic extremely hard to follow.

Nothing too exciting, just walking around places I shouldn't be at night, especially alone as a white guy. Guy just walked up to me, showed me the knife he had at his side and told me to give him everything. After emptying my pockets we fist bumped and parted ways.

Glad you weren't physically harmed (apart from the potential knuckle bruising)!

Getting tired of not knowing what the **** I'm doing. I'm supposed to be doing my bachelor's this fall, and hence I didn't really take many other courses, but I still can't bring myself to do anything useful. Feels like it's been 2 years since I actually studied, even though I've been in the same school since. Just killing time on the slow days, waiting for the next fun thing I have coming, be it a party, a gig, or whatever. There are a couple reasons I should get my bachelor's done now. After the spring, I won't be able to get student aid for it anymore. Then again, most of my friends already did it last year. And in the spring I'll be doing the musical project again, so it'd be hard to find the time to do it then. And lastly, I'm thinking about applying for music schools in the spring, so it'd be good to get it done as a easy thing to fall back on/apply for other schools afterwards. That should motivate me to do it. But ironically it just demotivates me. As it's not what I really want to do, and I'm planning to not continue with it - at least immediately. And it's not like I'm being super productive with music either. I rarely really practice anything. Just jam with bands when we have jams, and play the gigs that come. I have all the time in the world but I rarely just sit behind the piano and hammer it out to improve my technique, or grab a paper and try to write some new music. In some way it's always been the same with poker. I've never really studied it properly, trying to get better. I've just enjoyed playing, and played, with no real ambition to really get good. As a kid I was the one who learned it all, and learned it easily. I had good memory, so I didn't need to read or practice much. Now that's just made me lazy, and I can't find the curiosity to new things. And I've fallen from being good at everything to being alright at everything. I never focused on one thing, but instead dabbled with everything. And now I feel like I'm a different person. And I'm not quite sure how it happened. How I feel like I've become nothing like my teachers and other persons around the young me would've imagined. How I look down at the people who stayed in my small home town, who got kids at a young age, etc. And realize that they're probably happier than me.

Not sure why I'm writing this. Guess this was all just running through my head, and I felt like rambling.

Hey man, the tone of your writing seems like your being wayy too hard on yourself and probably looking for some form of outlet or a way to get back in control of things. But, sometimes - i think - its okay to just not be in control of what you want to do with your life/future. And just roll with life. Especially when your young. Just see the bachelors as a stepping stone to something brighter and more enjoyable.

Its kinda like being lost in a foreign country/city and taking the wrong turning, sometimes it sucks and you just end up walking around in the middle of knowwhere going around in circles feeling dumb.

But then occasionally - you'll find a gem of a place, a like a sic café spot or restraunt or scenic building or cool park or meet a nice girl that makes or made the getting lost part worth it!!!Just enjoy life whilst your young kiddo, travel, see the world, meet people, have fun.

Stay bless and upload some more of the sick videos will ya!!

Just do some marathon study sessions. Year long courses are usually Aceable with about 50 hours work. I don't like to see it as a long term thing where I need regular pattern. Some people can do that. But if you objectivally list what you need to do, and grind it, you can get it out the way with. And you may blag also by seeing it in model form.

You don't even smoke weed, so this should be easy.

Family life is kind of an expensive version of getting a(n awesome) dog.

BEWARE DISNEY PROPAGANDA BTW:

Jabo I think the most important thing I can communicate is to not take things so seriously. "Success" (ie good grades at school, recognition for doing something like music, getting a prestigious job +/or making lots of $ in your career, attractive romantic partner) is not really that important in the scheme of things. Most people who think that if they could just achieve things they'd finally be happy just discover that once they meet their goals, it's not enough, and they still are repeating their same destructive patterns w/ nicer scenery and less stress about $.

Doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you do your best at it, are kind to people and have friends, and spend most of your time doing things you enjoy. Of course you need to find a balance between preparing yourself for a prosperous and successful future and having as much fun as possible, which I think is the dilemma you find yourself in at the moment.

But from a zen perspective, don't think it's ever worth getting stressed or ruminating on things you don't like in your life or ways you are not putting in your best effort. Either do something to change it, or accept it and relax. Easier said than done tho, obviously

And to start taking things less seriously, I suggest you start by laughing at this newspaper article that I originally came into this thread to post

Yeah, fact that guy in newspaper article received instant karma does at least demonstrate that if you're going to be a scumbag criminal making the world a scarier and less pleasant place, you're going to get what's coming to you, and probably sooner rather than later

Interesting birth control method

Quote:
In a bizarre incident that appears to show the importance of making correct birth control information available to young people, a 22-year-old woman in Colombia said she used a potato as contraceptive device, because her mother advised her to.

When she later visited doctors after complaining of abdominal pains, what they found proved exactly how misguided that maternal advice had been.

“My mom told me that if I didn’t want to get pregnant, I should put a potato up there, and I believed her,” the woman told a Colombian news site.”

Fair enough. But after she left the potato in place for a couple of weeks, she started getting crippling pains in her lower abdomen. So she naturally went to have the issue checked out. She went to a hospital where nurse Carolina Rojas examined her.

I'm not really worried about success. I just want to find a way to make a living from something I enjoy to an extent. I'm "studying" for my 4th year, a subject that I found by an accident and thought, that could be cool. And I've yet to convince myself this is something I want to do.

This year I've been in a musical, in a theater production, done some other projects. I'm at around 60 gigs. And I sort of got the feeling, that this is what I should do. Doing music as intensely as I did, especially in the theater thing, I realized, that this feels like work. Even though I wasn't getting paid. It felt like work. But I liked it. Previously I had thought, that most of the possible things in music you could do for a living, would just get tiring, and demotivate me from music. It'd become a job. But now I thought, maybe I want that. I was doing something that I'm really good at. With other people who were passionate about similar things, and pursuing them.

But it just feels like such a childish, selfish thing. "I want to be a musician. I want to create. I want to do something, that nobody else will do exactly the same, if not me." I hung around with all these artsy kids, and the mentality sort of stuck to me as well. What good am I gonna do anyone doing a regular job? I'll make some company some more money. If I don't do it, somebody else will. How will that make anything better? I'm not saying I'd change lives with music. But I've performed enough to see, that most of the time, people are a tiny bit happier for a moment. That's worth something to me. Making a positive, however small, effect on people.

As you can probably see, I'm pretty set on trying that stuff out. But it's so ****ing scary. Firstly, I need to get in the school. Then, do that for a couple years. And then try to get jobs? It's a long shot. Basically the idea is to have a couple years off of regular school, get the musician papers, and return.

Basically, what's bothering me, is that I'm not happy with where I am. That's normal. That's fine. But it's a different thing, when it's tough to imagine that changing.

Fist bump moment probably perfect opportunity to sock him. But the best thing to do is always run away, and if they get too close you just stop real fast and kick them in the balls with a karate kick.

Always a further level. One of greatest philosophical questions of all time is if it is better to desire or to 'apathesise'/content thyself.

My friend lived in Ecuador for a year, and he said whereas in US we have people holding signs and begging on the street for $, the homeless types there would try to "rob" people , esp tourists, but if you ignored them and walked away fast most of them would just back off and look for next easy target.

Your robber did have a knife tho, so even tho he probably wouldn't have used it, think you were probably right to just give up your $, I'd say it almost always the best move to just give someone whenever they want when being threatened w/ potentially fatal weapon

This guy is insanely good, thanks for rec. Best new rap music I've heard in years. I think Eminem is a very talented rapper, but tbh I don't think he's ever put out a song as good as the "My Life" song

I really like the way he doesn't try to be "gangsta" or "balla" at all, and still has really cool lyrics that don't resort to love song stuff, excessive wordplay, weirdness, or faux-intellectual / political statement territory like most other rappers that don't go the "G" route do
