Re: I used to do shit
But now I don't any longer. The logic is that I've reached a point where there isn't enough to time left in life to bring any of to complete fruitation or I would be mocked via ageism.

Music used to be be my main thing: composing, playing, singing, recording, editing, mastering. The entire gamut. Next up was visual arts and photography. There are others, but no need to list it all to make a point.

My entire 20s through late 40s I was into it all, every day. The younger years I wouldn't sleep sometimes. Couldn't wait to get home to work on something. Weekends would be no-sleep marathons. If I had a family or social engagement that got in the way, I would be distant, annoyed or probably skip it completely.

The past two years though, I don't do anything. Interest in everything has dried completely. Music almost makes me nauseous. I can't get into anything other than my job (because I must survive), sleep, exercise, food and very basic household chores.

Maybe this is a sign that the end is near?

I wonder why...

Flea? That’s the guy who hollered “Thank you, Satan!” after RHCP won an MTV Music Award back in the day.

Of course he’s productive; he’s got to keep up his end of “The Deal”, or else...

Pretty sure it was Flea, as he leaned into the mic and I got a good look at him. But, perhaps memory fails...

Re: I used to do shit
How many here have sleeping problems, I know my sleep is wack, I mean like I can go to be at midnight and still note get a wink to like 6 or later in the morning.

Rodney Dangerfield had a line in a movie, his wife says to him, "why don't you go upstairs and go to sleep", he responds with "I don't fall asleep I pass out" that is how I feel about sleep.

For me I am sure getting a good restful night of sleep would perk me up, have a brighter outlook on life, try praying for me, maybe I am not doing it right. lol

Re: I used to do shit
this is less about OP and more about young people...

Most of what you accomplish in life, or at least the most "complex" happens in your 20s and somewhat in your 30s.

Take advantage of your youth, energy, and creativity.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82280704

As a generality I agree, some burn fast and bright, some of those continue to do so, though for sure there's outliers who absorb a lot and then express it in a supernova kinda way later in life.

Me too. Just this awful feeling want to get through this month. Seems to just be dragging on forever. Don't know what it is just horrible.

Everyday just feeling so depressed despite exercise and trying to maintain interests and eating healthy.

Got some new plants and even they are doing poorly. Thought of just taking them back for a refund. Seems like even they don't want to live. Everyone wants to know when fall is coming. We have no rain and 90 degrees all the time.

Feeling the same time. It all seems futile considering the options.

If NOTHING happens, if NO conspiracies are true, then what are we left with? An Oligarchy and digital banking future, with more and more automation, more and more dumbed down people, less and less originality and collapse as an exponential and inevitable end whether they win in depopulating the planet, or if they are overthrown and the natural birth rate sky rockets instead.

I've come to the conclusion that we already reached our peak in terms of being an advanced society and that the period between 1850 to 2012 has been nothing more than decades and decades of theater, complete with costumes, pop culture, music, social mores and so on.

Seriously look at the stark contrast of each decade in the 1900's and what we have now, for these past 10-20 years and we haven't become the future we once dreamed about.

No, instead, they hid all of the ancient technology and reintroduced it with patents attached to them, and scientists and doctors and inventors and researchers they tap and give the script to.

Maybe part of this idea was introduced into the Matrix and what Agent Smith told Neo about the world being stuck in 1999 and reset to that date or such? Or like Dark City, where it's always night time but nobody realizes it?

There is SO much information injected into media and the big screen, and ALL of our history that we believe to be history as well. In other words, this is ALL theater, we are in an illusion, asleep, and I am no longer certain that death releases you from this conundrum and prison.

Funny. I want the beach so bad. Haven’t been to one in years. Lived near them most of my life. I live in the mountains surrounded by nature now. You know sometimes we just need change to inspire us. Nothing wrong with that. So plan for your move. Give yourself something to look forward to.

Re: I used to do shit
But now I don't any longer. The logic is that I've reached a point where there isn't enough to time left in life to bring any of to complete fruitation or I would be mocked via ageism.

Music used to be be my main thing: composing, playing, singing, recording, editing, mastering. The entire gamut. Next up was visual arts and photography. There are others, but no need to list it all to make a point.

My entire 20s through late 40s I was into it all, every day. The younger years I wouldn't sleep sometimes. Couldn't wait to get home to work on something. Weekends would be no-sleep marathons. If I had a family or social engagement that got in the way, I would be distant, annoyed or probably skip it completely.

The past two years though, I don't do anything. Interest in everything has dried completely. Music almost makes me nauseous. I can't get into anything other than my job (because I must survive), sleep, exercise, food and very basic household chores.

Maybe this is a sign that the end is near?

I wonder why...

Nothing wrong with surfing and watching movies. You’ll get enough of that and do something else. Go with the flow.

Re: I used to do shit
As I was just telling myself to get the fuck off the internet and get to work on several tracks that my bands are waiting on, I just said out loud;

"I need to get the fuck off the internet and DO SOME SHIT!"

I have Jesus - more properly, He has me - but I feel the same as OP.

Your thoughts?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42762838


Sometimes people just need to take a break and do nothing. Jesus even found quiet places to recharge. And he was perfect. How much more quiet time do we need being imperfect. Just chill and be happy you can. Don’t feel guilty or strange actually taking time for yourself to just be. We can’t just keep on the run. It’s not healthy.
