I have been locked up twice for drinking and driving.
I have done way too many drugs.
I went to rehab.
I hate myself extremely. ( This is based upon my past and slightly relevant to the "me" now)
I just want you all to know that I am what I am and nothing more or less.


ps. I'm leaving alot of shit out because it would lessen your opinion of me alot more. This is bad enough. I've done some horrible shit.

k...

....cookie?

Good time to change it up then I guess... thats the good thing about having free will, you can always shake things up a bit.

You want to get your shit straight?

Try the military. It'll fix you right up.

i don't know if you're being serious or not, but i disagree

besides being poor, which must be the top reason, you do see quite a few people in for reasons like those (i was usmc, in the clinton era thank god--i was actually taking my friend back from leave the morning of 9/11) and while it may help some get their lives straightened out, it fucks just as many up even more.

your life being fucked up is the wrong reason to join the military

that was kind of a bizarre post angry dragon, but i wish you well.

I see what you are saying there are a few people that get all messed up. I would venture to say, however, that the majority of people that come in are quite successful and happy.

You are right about the poor issue. However, I think someone who is struggling with drugs and booze might benefit alot from it. A better sense of purpose can be a powerful force to help change ones life. (Not to mention a jail sentence for using drugs helps a little too. )

I dunno... agree to disagree I guess....

Yeah, kill some sand niggers, that'll straighten you right out. Jesus.

Forget the military. A pathological system won't help anyone.

I think what Military Man is trying to say is that a system with structure and order can do a lot for a person who has been through some thoroughly confusing shit.

Peace corps. Service projects. Building stuff for people who need help. It requires a lot of heart to begin with, which can be tough to muster especially if you're crossed up and trying to right your wrongs. But you won't hate yourself if you do something worth being proud of.

oh, and it helps to get involved with some kind of community. people need that stuff you know, and not just internet message boards.

maybe we are supposed to share some info about ourselves.
hi, my name is alex damon steward.
i havent been locked away for dui, but i do have a really, really bad driving record.
i smoked pot for the first time last year. i was 25. it was terrible. made me sleepy and cough really bad. bah!
i do consume alcohol.
i can't say that i hate myself...actually i am quite fond of myself.
hmm...i have OCD.
i am also a hypochondriac.
thats about it really.
yep.

next person...

Rotten Tanx... you're an idiot.

You seem to have little or no concept of life outside your little safety bubble and most likely have very little 'real world' experience. You obviously have no real understanding of any military branch. I guess I'm just trying to say I feel sorry for you... And I feel sorry for people that would have to put up with your racism.

Gio... That was my point exactly. Structure and a sense of purpose.

However I must disagree with the 'pathological' comment. The military has a bad reputation, it's not nearly what most people would think! I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but not everyone should write it off so easily.

Have a nice day

Thanks for sharing Angry Dragon.

Don't go into the military, not under the current commander and chief anyways.

Me, I drink too much. All the time....

Sleep well, and know that tomorrow is a new day. Do something good with it, work from there.
