I wake up in the morning and piss excellence!
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "What's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.
-A A Milne
I often wake up with those thoughts. But usually I'm better once the day gets going, and fine by evening. I think it's just that mornings can be a little depressing for some people, even if you're generally happy with your life. Especially if you're a coffee drinker, then you're getting hit with some caffeine withdrawal as well until that first cup.
The sun will rise the next morning. You never know what the tide will bring in.

I can't find other work, even though I look every day. I can't get the smell of dog poop out of my nose ever. I smell it when I eat, when I go to sleep at night so, believe you me bother, you don't want my job. The only time the smell kind of goes away is on my run at night. Other than that, my life is full of sh%t.
I can't believe this post went unnoticed. Is this serious? Please tell me it is.
Sadly, it is. I could land a job stocking at walmart or target, but I wouldn't make the rent.

Nobody on hear has come up with the interesting job they love to do. Is it just a croc?

On the whole, "what the hell am I doing..." is a great question to ask. I attended a funeral service today and was already thinking about this in a related way. What do I want my legacy to be? To what degree should I care or be motivated by that? Do what degree is anything that anyone does truly significant? Does it need to be significant? Other animals presumably don't have the self awareness to worry about their legacy or care or feel like they need to hold themselves accountable to some sort of purposeful life... their only purpose is their own survival and the survival of their offspring. Social animals increase their chances of survival by playing well with others. But, were cavemen worried about anything more than that? Is it a luxury to have motivation beyond that? Ok... I'm triiiiippppppin. :-]
But in the end, *someone*, and we probably have no idea who, will stand up in front of your surviving friends and family and try to say some nice things about your life and who you are. Might be worth thinking about if you are on a path that works for you. Finite time, but almost infinite opportunities.
King Solomon asked the same question. Read Ecclesiastes in the Bible. It helped me.
It's time to move to LA and become an actor.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what they're doing with their lives
But me I'm still on the road
C'mon dude, just get out on the road.
oh man. i used to wake up every morning and think i'm doing nothing with my life because i'm smoking everyday. now that i've stopped smoking, i still wake up lost but don't have a reason which feels even worse. boo.
...and then one day you find
ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run
you missed the starting gun...
no
I wonder how I can get every note to sound like ice cubes in a scotch glass, like Red Garland did.
So all the people on here who love their job but are too ashamed to tell us what it is?
the highlight of my day is taking a shit somewhere fun, such as on a sidewalk or behind a store and having humans think it's a dog's doing OR in expensive compression socks at running stores.
The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart.
All you guys are losers. I am going to 18 in 5 months, and drive a vette. I don't pay rent at all. Things are looking pretty good for me. All you 30 and 40 year old wannabees think you are all that, Horsecrap! I wake up feeling fast and in shape. You guys just talk about your loser glory days where you ran 16 min 5ks. I run a 5k in the low 14's. When I am in college I will be breaking 13 minutes. While all you overaged guys with fat ugly wives will just sit at home on your lard asses and watch reruns of Andy Griffith.

As you sat typing that in your parents' basement, you got a tiny bit of a hard-on, didn't you?

snore a Vette you are all pumped up. I could probably buy 5 percent of that company and not blink. I'm still going to play avg Joe. I'd drink you under the table, run laps around your 18 year old arse, and bet you what your puny Vette's worth. I'm probably your dad's boss you don't even know it.

I love your wife and I also enjoy spending time in your house when you're away. You're kids...not so much.
