I thought this could be neat idea. Not sure if anyone will get into it, but hey figured I'd try. So basically use paint to graph how you felt about life during certain years you've been living. I picked my years randomly mostly for the ones I thought were relevant to the graph... try to end on your current age. X axis being age and Y axis being 'give a shitness' as I've deemed it. I'm really hoping some old heads contribute cause I'm genuinely curious to see how people felt through their life. So here's mine... now make yours! It might even be cool to supplement reasons for why your graph changes at various years...
My graph would just be a straight line since 0 A.D. Centuries upon centuries of a straight, never up nor down...Line.//static.grscty.com//public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif
3- Who cares at 3? 5- Seen a little more, care a little more 8- Boobies 10- 4th grade was meh 12- Who cares about middle school? 15- Went on a bomb ass vacation to Hawai'i, the Philippines and Parts of China. Smoked weed (Hawai'i was dankest place ever for weed) and drank everywhere I went all the time and made very questionable decisions (passing out in countries foreign to me, loose women, etc.) 18- Graduated high school, became jaded for some reason and lost contact with most of my best friends...my number for that should probably be lower. 20- Just starting to slightly give a shit as I start going in public more and socializing with people instead of introverting to the extreme...surprisingly have had nice interactions with people, females especially. Still need a job, but prospects are looking up...so as long as I can still lift weights and eventually get a job for money for school I might not be as jaded.
Works for me.. i donr have a computer and fuck graphs.. But 0-5 are like whatever 5-10 hey girls are cute, death is something that happens 10-14 sports is life, why doesnt everyone wanna hang with me 15-18 where do i belong, i get along with all konds of people, but mostly older people in their 20s from work 17-21 weed is the best thing ever, feelings on politics/religion are cemented.. what do i want to do in life 21-25 i think smaller groups of friends is ideal, know what i want fobd attractive in people and where i wanna go on life.. weed is still awesome just wish i could use it still
But graphs are life... and the 'sports are life' makes me lol. Definitely dealt with that around the same age. All good brethren.
Age 0-5 - Pretty care free, loved playing with toys.. loved reading books.. but got slapped a lot. Age 5-10 - Still relatively care free, loved playing video games and pretending games with friends. Loved school. Age 10-15 - Got bullied a bit.. sometimes I became a bully myself, in retaliation.. teachers hated me. Couldn't pay attention in class. Hated school. Age 15-20 - Learned how the world works, became suicidal. Hated school, even after graduating. Lived on unemployment for a while. Age - 20-? - Finally getting a grip on life, though still relatively unstable with lots of uncertainty about the future. No partner, not a lot of friends.. parents call me lazy.. old friends stopped calling me. p.s. Try going to the park and feeding the ducks one day. You'll notice that the strongest and most determined ducks push all the other ducks away, so they can get all the food, and then tell the rest to fuck off while they munch away. Then along comes a bunch of sparrows, grab all the bread, fly away.. and none of the ducks get anything to eat, in the end. That's the same way I feel about human life. Everybody's trying to get ahead at the expense of others. You have winners, and you have losers. No matter how hard the losers try to win - there can only be a limited amount of winners. There will always be someone better, faster, stronger than you.. who will take the bread crumbs before you do. Precisely why I'm glad I'm never having any kids. They deserve a better world than this one. That's how I feel about the world right now, as we speak. //static.grscty.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png
Nice thread and cool idea. I'm still a little young (20) to get a good looking graph out of it, but funny way of looking back over your shoulder at how life moves along Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
0-5 dont remember, probably a pain in the ass 5-10 forced to church and abuse and still a pain in the ass 10-15 tits n ass started catching my eye, planned to become a slutty whore 15-20 became a slutty whore and into hard drugs and began working on future regrets, police car chases, mulriple run in with the law, knockin up the wrong women, making a prime example why rules are set in place, i lived by no rules, obviously a pain in the ass 20-30 drunk, parties, no fucks given 30-35 oh fuck what did i do to myself, got nowhere, living with an overload of past mistakes, regrets, trying really hard to find happiness when i see no happiness in alot of my life, feel like a washed up used up throw away Im middle aged now (35) and been doing alot of soul searching, Yes 35 is mid age for you young people, i never believed it myself but it is, ill be lucky to live till im 70 your only as free as you think you are
Give a shit is inversely proportional to age. At 64 I'm old enough to know better but too old to give a shit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Okay, I guess I'm old enough (65). Early life was wonderful, turning 50 bothered me a little bit, but it was just a mental thing. I did lose both parents right around then, that was not fun -- the realities and brevity of life slap you in the face. Life is never the same again without your parents around. In my mid- late-50s I started having health problems. Some are not going to go away, they are chronic and progressive. In May 2014, after contemplating it for over a year, I bought a Corvette (2007). I said fuck it. My parents both died at 86 and they lived clean lives, I have not. Making it to 80 will be a stretch so I'm grabbing what I can, while I can. And how long one lives is much less important than what the quality of life is in your last years. Will you be so fucked up physically in your last 5-10 years that you cannot even walk? Earth's gravity pulls us all back to a horizontal position eventually. It can be sudden, or it can take decades. Having said all that, I am enjoying myself. I have tons of wonderful friends that keep life interesting. But when I hear an old song that was popular when I was a teenager, I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone by. All in all, it's been great.
I've always stayed busy and never worried about the passing of time...or my life, I wish my wife was 20 years younger, tho..
He speaks the truth.. if theyre desperate enough to put jmick as a mod something is going terribly wrong.
20, going on 21 so I can only add so much input, but I would say I started to "give a shit" about life more and more as the years have gone by, with steady incline through high school, then at about 18 it sky rockets, because 18 is when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. I would say that gave me a lot of insight. Growing up, and even in my teen years I wasn't really aware that these type of things can happen to young people. I'm still trying to adjust to this lifestyle.. hospitals, doctors offices, emergency rooms.. It's all still new to me. And when I walk into the waiting room for my appointments I feel really out of pIace.. I get some strange looks from the older folks that are waiting there for their appointments. I think what really hit me is when I spent Christmas in the hospital two years ago. I was suffering from Pancreatitis from the crazy amount of meds the doctors put me on to start my treatment. It was terrible, but I knew I was going to fight through it. Since then, I've honestly learned to take nothing for granted. I think that was the ultimate low I've had in life so far. So because of the past couple of years I would say my outlook on life has changed significantly. Everything is perceived so delicate to me now. Things can just change so unexpectedly and we have to enjoy what we have while we have it.
