think about all the kids dying in the world today
think about the countries with sh!te regimes
think about the sh1te areas in this country
think about the sh!te jobs people do in this country
think where you might have ended up
you have to be in the top 0.1% of the lucky league
think about the sh!te that people had to put up with in previous generations
you have to be in the top 0.001 % of the all-time lucky league
so , crisis, what crisis

Just rememeber that no matter how bad it seems it can always get worse....much, much worse.Originally posted by el duderI turned 30 in sept, and am officially in mid-life crisis. I cant imagine it gets any worse than this, cause if it is due, then i reckon id end up dead.
The amount of stress, up and down emotions, phases of depression and smoking im going through i would expect my body to give in around the age of 50.
I have actually aged 10yrs since my depression has kicked in and its been lasting for waaaaay tooooo long.

Crises - what Crises ?
All my life Ive never stopped to worry `bout a thing,
Open up and shout it out,an' never try to sing,
Wondering if Ive done it wrong,
Will this depression last for long?
Wont you tell me ...
Where have all the good times gone. ?
Once we had an easy ride and always felt the same,
Time was on our side and we had everything to gain,
This could be like yesterday,
Me with your happydays,
Where have all the good times gone ?
Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to do,
Never had no money and they always told the truth,
Daddy didnt need no little toys
And mama didnt need no boys
Where have all the Good Times gone ?
PS Mr Pruffock is 46.6 and never been happier
Im happy hope youre happy tooLast edited by AlfredJPruffock; 31 January 2007, 16:03.

When you have this sudden overwhelming urge to buy an expensive fishing rod.
I let the others tell you because I'm just too depressed.
