Do you drink? Is this someone you could have met while under the influence (lol)

I also kinda wish shit like that would happen to me.

That's what I was thinking but that means it would have been a party or a bar. So that means one of my friends (most likely my Mom's god son or one of my best friends) would have been with me.

For a second I was thinking it was some chick I might have hooked up with but I checked my list and her name isn't on it.

Sometimes I feel like my life is one long After Hours type of situation. It's like I am a normal person and everything around me is interesting. I'm just going with the flow.

Nah that would piss off the biker side of my fam. You don't piss those dudes off.



Speaking of bikers fam. My cousin died last Christmas. My dad told me his wife is giving away his guns. So I'm getting a 38 or 45 (not sure of manufacturer) this week. Also, if everything works out I might get his Harley.

I feel the general paranoia you experience during the quiet times is far more damaging than what you go through when something really happens, especially since in the balance there is a lot more quiet than violence. It eats you up from the inside. While you can always tell yourself "well, if you can hear something going on a mile or two away, at least that means it isn't happening here", all you're thinking is "oh shit, it could happen right here, and I can't go anywhere to get away from it, because the only places I can go are under the same threat."

Except that there is way more riding on the timing of announcements than just getting the info out the door. Sometimes deals that haven't been finalised, amongst a whole host of other things could hang in the balance.

Anyway, you all know how i feel about GAF "insiders"

Yeah and you get folks that don't know how to live any other way and the cycle repeats.

I don't know how game PR people do it. I understand the secrets because time and time again the vocal minority has shown unless the info comes at the right time, , phrased the right way , and the proper animals sacrificed. They will loose their collective shit.And never find it again.

Better than this one girl I smashed who then rolls over in bed and goes, "So I just texted my parents you're coming over for dinner tomorrow at 8. They want to meet you and find out what your like." I'm like, "Uhh, why are you inviting me to dinner with your parents?" "Don't be silly, they want to know who took their little girl's virginity."

PAUSE.

Heart almost stopped and I almost passed out. I knew she was a virgin, but that hit me too strong. I sputtered through the rest of the conversation and went home fast as hell. Out of some weird sense of obligation, I went out to Olive Garden with them where I started getting bombarded with questions about my past. Of course I threw out the most ratchet shit I've done to discourage the parents like me working at a porn store out of high school, etc. Needless to say by the end of the dinner, the parents we're not impressed and left in a hurry. As for the girl, they shipped her off to an out of state college and I haven't heard from her since. Phew!

How old were you and her?

I'm not particularly impressed with virginity. I would probably be annoyed.

Having the ability to be trusted yet question folks in a way no one has before. Reading people and responding in kind to them has always been my thing. But with anyone here I believe a lot of us can bring out the best and worst in people. You notice that the cats who are either prior service or currently in have them interesting lives......? Or is it just the people in this thread. People just are somehow attracted,not romantically mind you, to people of like minds.

Hmmm..... just a thought. I think everyone here has enough life experience to fill thousands upon thousands of anything with knowledge. I'm legit curious where some of us would be given the circumstances of our lives and knowledge given to the everyday layman. To put it more appropos if the average gaffer walked an hour in our collective shoes, how and would they cope? I smell social experiment!!!

I definitely pick up what you are putting down, Rio. But the reason the "average gaffer" acts like an average gaffer is because they don't have experiences or had only a few in early life and then shied away to the point of shunning them. If they had a variety of life experiences in the first place they wouldn't be the way they are, I am sure of it.

BCT's shoes? Enlightening. Even I'd be enlightened. I'm still learning every day. It's important to walk a mile or more in as many peoples' shoes as you can so you can not be a piece of shit irl. There's a kind of empathy that a lot of people never EVER know.

So that's actually a good question.

If folks had to spend 24 hours in your shoes, what do you think their reaction would be?

I'd wager excitement, then terror. Then more terror.

I'd wager a lot of people would be bored with my personal life, but then during work or at family gatherings they would freak the fuck out.

The way alot of people on gaf talk about needing people to certify who they are I don't think most of them would feel comfortable in my shoes since I'm mainly a lone wolf/low attachment type of dude. That's from being an only child and moving around alot growing up. Just learned how to be my own person. Kind of liked it but it's been a gift/curse thing tho in terms of relationships since.

edit: I did realize alot of ex services dudes have been around the block more, but I assumed that obviously

Respect to Eddie L. Johnson RIP.....boy you was born the way you are for a reason. Everybody not built for this.

Same. I know for a fact a weaker person would have done some terrible things if they were given my position. That being said life could always be worse so I count my blessings even though they're few and far between.

2012 and 2013 were rough years for me, but now that everything is cool I'm just content with living a solitary lifestyle. I don't really need to have a bunch of over the top experiences that consist of skydiving out of exploding planes butt ass naked every 4 months so I can be interesting to people. Just handle my responsibilities, think/daydream when I get to and call it a day.

Overall I think I am pretty blessed in my life. I like the people I have close to me and I have the freedom to make my life better than it is right now. That's more than can be said for many others.

Given the prevalence of self-esteem issues, depression, and social anxiety on this message board, I'd say many a Gaffer already has my life. Or at least something close to it. I've certainly more fortunate than many, but I've got many of my own issues to overcome. I at least have managed to surround myself with some good people.

I don't think anyone is meant to walk in my shoes but me. That used to be a thought born from self-hate. Now its definitely a confidence.

Writing up a research paper for my English class. Citing an article that examined the disparities between black/hispanic men and white men when it came to assigning them to prison or drug treatment, it also looked at the disproportional amount of black/hispanic men in prison given the overall population of the two groups.

It cited previous studies that disregarded ethnicity to show little discrepancy between black and white men in assignment to treatment versus imprisonment. But studies often section off hispanic men into a third category when looking at the demographic of the prison population.

TL;DR: Hispanic men are white when studies try to ignore prejudice of drug court assignment, but hispanic men are definitely not white when trying to show who is breaking the law in this country.

Let me explain something.

All my clothes must be folded and put into rows. My books must be in a bookcase ordered largest to smallest from left to right. If there is no room they are stacked large to small. My movies are separated by directors, year of release, or companies (CC or Twilight).


So of course I would have a list of all the women I sleep with. Plus it's good to know in case something pops up where it isn't supposed to pop up.

A girl I used to be involved with kept dates and times of every single instance she had sex.

It's not an unheard of action. It's pretty smart, too.

I still think that's more to do with gaming message boards in general. I still find it odd some people are surprised GAF and other places like GAF are filled with, well, nerds.

Mm, it's certainly a smart idea.

And it's actually written down as opposed to digital? Or both? (Don't mind me if this is too intrusive)
