so what? why live your life based off of stats of what may or may not happen?

just face the facts that she's more emotionally mature than you were at that age and let her live her life.

If she wants to get married then so be it. She could end up staying married to him for decades.

I want to bring peace to the world.

Just kidding, that's bullshit.

I just want to fill my life with things that make me moderately content, so when I die, I'm not all mad at myself.

Quote:

I don't wanna change the world, I'm not looking for a New England I'm just lookin for another girl.

I want to own a building with a bistro/cafe on the bottom floor and a modest apartment complex upstairs. It'll be near a nice, not too crowded beach (thinkin San Diego or Santa Cruz but the food scene down there is not so great from what I hear) and I'll have a boat and surf boards. I'll work at the bistro during the afternoon/daytime with a small, friendly staff and get stoned or drunk or go surf or skate or play music or hang out with women and/or friends after work.

One day...

my fantasy dream is to someday party with the offspring, young the giant, the neighbourhood, tame impala, muse, metallica, and many other bands.

my future dream is to get married, have twins, fly my own jet, own an island, give back to the community and die happily.

...Why? Because she wants to get married?

Call no man unhappy until he is married - Socrates. Haha. I didn't enjoy being married, I loved her, but it felt different once the knot was tied, like less of a choice and more of an obligation.

Don't see the point in it myself. If you're in love, enjoy it and hope it lasts. Because it might not.

Thats what I am always telling my friends. Marriage is simply an institution set up by our government today. I have nothing against it but why rush into it, I mean if you are together, living togther, spending time together, hell even raising children together..marriage or not does not really make that big a difference.

Marriage makes a big difference as far as taxes are related and all the other benefits you can get by claiming you are married on different forms. The main reason I want to get married is for those budget/monetary reasons. You can go ahead and shun the institution all you want but it does have benefits. Why do you think gay couples are fighting so hard for it?

Yes, she wants to get married and take those important steps in life earlier than you do. that doesn't mean that it's doomed. Just because it doesn't work out for some people doesn't mean that it won't work out for her.

Wanting to get married when you're a teenager is more often than not a sign that you're a dumb kid, which is the opposite of being mature. If you're thinking about getting married at that young an age then maybe you should look at the stats just in case it gets through that maybe, just maybe, your little high school fantasy might not be the best idea.

This. I think everyone in the first serious relationship they have thinks it will be the end all be all for them.

Everyone should experience serious heartbreak and/or someone cheating on them in life. Not because i want them to feel pain but to learn about themselves and realize the other sex is human just like you and we all make mistakes.

Chameleons just talkin complete nonsense. Dayvan is in way over her head but we all make mistakes and gotta grow and but i wont be here to say I told u so

Bunch of pessimists and emotional cripples. Don't listen to them DC.

I agree DJ. Shes a bright young lady. I would say maybe a little bit more time living together would be a good barometer for how things will work out before going down the aisle. Being engaged should be fine for now until your ready to make the next step. Ultimately I say **** it do what you want.

I am prepared to wait a long time before I marry a guy, it has to be something that will last the distance. Although I'm very keen for the day I get to be in my pink princess dress going down the aisle.

I'm thinking of all the high school sweethearts that were told the same thing but got married anyways and are still going decades later. It can and does work out for some people.

We don't know how strong their relationship is. We are just on the outside giving out own commentary. Only they know when the right time is.

An optimist calls a pessimist a realist.

To have Lana Del Rey to play at my wedding.

Excellent Goofle will be there.

Yes! You can bang him if you like? Maybe not during the ceremony but at the reception. You guys really need to get it done already. I can just bloody imagine Batlord coming for the booze.

You think he'd miss the opportunity to gawk, and grope your bridesmaid?

Well I think Burning Down's partner will probably give Batty the beat down if he did! :p:

Will there be cake? Am I invited?

Of course x2. Basically I'd invite everyone on the forum! Those of who want to come. I will of course have amazing food and and open bar. I would be so happy to see you all and then maybe some of you might end up "coupling" if you know what I mean. ;)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

I'm there.

:laughing:

I had a feeling you'd like that.

I would also be there to drop my nuts into the punch bowl at the reception.

ewww! Am I gonna have to drink that?

It's not like you're even gonna know till the Polaroids come in the mail.

To rule the world!

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. :crazy:

Good luck with that one.

I don't have much in the way of dreams as far as careers go, but I've had an animated series that's been running through my head for years now in various incarnations, and I've always had a hopeless dream of making it a reality. As much as I would want it to air, my even greater goal would be making it into a pop culture spectacle.

My Batcave journal is in a way a trial run for my "plan". Whatever form the show took, my main scheme would be to make it so absurd, outrageous, and offensive that the publicity would allow me a platform to play a caricature of myself in the media, much like my "persona" on this site: an attention-seeking clown, not fake, but just myself turned up to 11, who offends, confuses, and/or amuses all who I come across. On an internet site, I am not so outrageous that my fellow internet weirdos can't take my schtick, but I'm simply not fit for mass consumption as far as the public at large is concerned: Hitler avatars and tongue-in-cheek egotism would make me a public pariah.

Media interest and bemusement at the nature of my outrageous show would hopefully be enough to get me a spot on some late night talk show just to explain myself, and from there I would make such a spectacle of myself: through abrasive derision of America's relationship with pop culture in general, abrasive mocking of the country's political system, contempt for everything our hypocritical society about society holds dear, and anything else I could think of to piss people off (smoking cigarettes on live television and extolling the virtues of Marlboro Reds without giving a **** about setting a responsible example for instance).

Celebrities in the mainstream public eye are expected to maintain a certain PC image -- even iconoclasts -- much in the same way that politicians are allowed to say only certain things, otherwise they would be denounced and censured into disgrace. My modus operandi would be to ignore all of these unwritten rues of conduct, all while treating criticism with an unapologetic and condescending contempt for my detractors that would make me impossible to ignore. Like a train wreck, people would hate me, but be unable to look away. If all went well, celebrity and hopefully even respectable news outlets, talk shows, and whatever other public platforms I could infect with my presence, would turn me into an object of fascination and outcry, much like the spectacle of Charlie Sheen's public meltdown just kind of took over the country's attention for months on end.

I wouldn't hide behind cheap rationalizations for the diarrhea of the mouth that I spewed, but would proudly declare that I had no intention of being intelligently relevant, just to piss people off for my own personal amusement -- just how I delight in telling everyone here that my attention seeking has no purpose other than to shamelessly inflate my own ego. My ultimate goal would be to elevate the idea of the pop culture spectacle to an art from.

Clearly, this would only last for a limited time, after which people would get used to my schtick and lose interest, so I would use whatever influence I'd gained in the actual TV industry to set up a production company to develop other Western animation shows/movies/whatever. I'd love to really start a movement in America for creatively relevant animation that might actually do for cartoons what cable has done for live action television (The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc). Whether or not I created a follow up to my own show, I'd like to give a platform and support to other creators who would otherwise get no support from a system that treats animation as nothing but throwaway kids shows.

Nobody really thinks that there will be another kids' cartoon with the same quality as Batman: The Animated Series, and I'd like to prove us all wrong.

I'm a simple man, my dream has always been to make a decent living off music. don't care for making it big i just want to earn enough to make being a musician my day job.

Another dream of mine related to that one is to one day pull off the most amazing face melting guitar solo the ppl here have ever seen.

I don't have a dream. I don't want fame, fortune or love. My ideal life would be out in a very rainy woods, living in a shack by myself with access to all music/equipment, movies, tv shows and games, making albums and distracting myself until I die. It's either that or death by a gigantic piano falling from the sky and crushing my life force. I'd want a post-ironic nu-metal party thrown on top of my casket for my funeral, of course. My dream is to not have a dream, because I already live in my dreams anyway. Sleep is cool.

i think its about time a new version of the bible come out

i think some of the translations are decent but i think it needs some revamping

i'm thinking the entire book should be narrated in the whiny, overly nasally voice of a nice bearded jewish boy from new yawk

Short ppl got no reason to live.

Why is he so worked up over a trumpet player?

Of course the Hispanic dude is standing up for trumpets. http://www.atheistnetwork2.com/image...ace_smiley.png

Womp Womp Womp - Sad Trombone at its best

Laugh it up but everybody loves the trumpets, it's a celestial instrument!

seems like just a reflection of his own failed ambitions combined with his whiny jewish brain that is ultra-sensitive to every aspect of his environment, including a moderately untalented street performer reminding him of his own efforts in the field of music theory



example of what might have gone through his mind before attacking the trumpeter:
"oy, a klug, it's like a schvits with the global wahming and now i've got this primitive trying his best louie armstrong impression on, ad kdei kach?"

Some day, I'd really like to shoot one of the feature films I'm writing.
