Trialbyfire Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I need something in my life to shake it up. Right now I find myself not caring about much, not enjoying the things I used to, not even enjoying going out with my friends. The thought of trying new things appears to either bore me or require way too much energy. What do you guys/ladies do to get yourself out of a rut?
magichands Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I would clear your life of everything non-essential. And I do mean everything. Then spoil yourself for a while. Not too long. But just long enough to smell the roses, taste the coffee, enjoy a solitudinous walk, and experience the elephant. Well, maybe not that last one.
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 What happens when everything in your life feels non-essential, almost non-existential? As for experiencing the elephant, you don't need a funkified notch on your trunk, you have enough real ones.
magichands Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 What happens when everything in your life feels non-essential, almost non-existential? Difficult to say. I would be stripping everything back to your basic instincts. You need to feel... something. Anything, really. Try to stop thinking, and start experiencing. One thing at a time. Wow, I just reread my musings. What a load of funk, haha.
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Hahaha...you're funked... This is such a strange feeling for me because I'm normally very intense about life, from sitting on a riverbank and realizing how little we matter, to taking up the challenge of skiing down an impossible mogul run.
magichands Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 , from sitting on a riverbank and realizing how little we matter I don't know. You're smarter than the entire contents of the river - mostly full of dumbarse fish. , to taking up the challenge of skiing down an impossible mogul run.Great idea. If it's really impossible, then it will be the ultimate epiphany. No more funk. Perpetual bliss awaits (if you believe in the heavenly ski resort). OK, so you didn't experience the elephant... no big deal. It was probably overrated, anyway.
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Try not to slag dumarse fish too much. I'm sure they have feelings too and some can get pretty nasty. (excerpt from PETA) lol, busted. Replace impossible with difficult. Actually magichands, I think I am experiencing the elephant right now and it has made me laugh. Thanks.
magichands Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Replace impossible with difficult. OK, but you may need replacement knees.
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 OK, but you may need replacement knees. My knees are fine. If one wants to move up in any corporate environment, knees are key. Two years ago, I threw my back out for the first time and went to see a chiropractor. He told me that skiing moguls was a challenge for a sixteen year-old boy. I believe he's suggesting that I do a gender-change operation and find the fountain of youth.

He told me that skiing moguls was a challenge for a sixteen year-old boy. I heard that, too. I really want to ski down Rupert Murdoch's buttock cleavage one day. I believe he's suggesting that I do a gender-change operation and find the fountain of youth. :lmao: I hope I never grow up.
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 I heard that, too. I really want to ski down Rupert Murdoch's buttock cleavage one day. :lmao: I hope I never grow up. While doing this, try not to get too Foxed. I would lose all respect for you if you chose the right way... Somehow, I doubt it.
beautifulearth83 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 this is the funniest thread i have read all the way through in a long time and it made me happy.
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 Glad to be of assistance as the straight man. I was pretty down last night so I do have to say, thanks again to magichands for making me laugh.
magichands Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Glad to be of assistance as the straight man. I thought you were making the jokes!!?? Confusing. I think we might have a communication problem. No mooning passers-by until we have this resolved, OK?

No mooning passers-by until we have this resolved, OK? I have a nice posterier, thank you very much. I'll moon if I feel like it.
magichands Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I have a nice posterier, thank you very much. I'll moon if I feel like it. Fair enough. But remember that you promised to shake it. I need something in my life to shake it up. Well, sort of. I don't suppose you meant for me to shake it for you. That could get a bit awkward.

I don't suppose you meant for me to shake it for you. That could get a bit awkward. You appear to be focused on things that shake, therefore, allow me to give you a tambourine. It shakes and you can bang it. Join a band and be set for life.

Join a band and be set for life. That's so thoughtful - thank you. I will attempt to master a powerful yet steady rhythm... building to a crescendo of euphoric trembling. Did the earth just move, or am I just getting overexcited?! Wow. This is the best present, ever. I hope the skin never needs tightening.

This is the best present, ever. I hope the skin never needs tightening. Time to run for cover if an elephant is getting overly excited. Perhaps that's what you feel, the earth shaking beneath you due to violent movement. I'm so glad you like it. It's a quality product so I can't imagine it needing anything beyond TLC.

It's a quality product so I can't imagine it needing anything beyond TLC. Just rub a bit of oil into the skin now and then? Thanks for the tip.
