See, this is why I think being religious means nothing. You say you "believe in god", yet tell someone that it "sucks to be you" in practically the same breath.

my answer: yes.


i feel this way about a lot of things in life. (you guys are gonna love this one) sometimes i wish i wasn't as intelligent as i am. ignorance can be bliss sometimes. sometimes i start thinking about the world, the universe, philosophising to myself, and i think myself into deep depression about how existence is meaningless. then i just picture some group of idiots out there drinking beers at a bar and living it up. they are just pleased to be alive, and i think that's what it's all about.

anyways yeah sometimes i wish i didn't know what i know, and sometimes i'm very glad that i know what i know.

It's pretty scary how close this comes to describing how I feel a lot of the time. Why do you think I chose the username 'Homer'?

one of the reasons i thought i smoked pot back when i was doing it was because i liked to feel dumb "for a change", similar to those idiots in the bar you reference. it was just ego.

Yeah, 'cuz there are no unhappy stupid people...

I don't understand why so many are envious of people who are "stupid and happy" but not people who are "smart and happy".

It's like a tight passive moaning about how much better the loose aggressive has it (but the loose aggressive has so much more fun!) and never seems to realise the tight aggressive is taking them both to the cleaners...

Ah, well, the grass is always greener!

Geesh, daryn is taking a lot of crap recently. I don't think it's warranted in this case.

Daryn, your post is a little to real for me... i sort of wish you never posted it. I think it's why I, and many people here, gamble. It serves as a conveinent diversion from thoughts such as these.

yeah i am taking a lot of heat recently for some reason. these things come in waves.

anyway, i didn't mean of course that all people who go out drinking and have a great time are stupid.. i guess by stupid i meant, they could either get past the deep thoughts i have and go out and enjoy themselves, or they weren't the type of people to ever start thinking those deep thoughts in the first place.

anyways, i'm kinda glad to hear that a couple of you guys out there know what i'm talking about, even though i thought i rambled a bit about my occasional thoughts.

i mean it's a joke that you guys think that you're so tortured and intelligent. odds are unfathomably high that you just think too much of yourself and take yourself too seriously.
