MrFriendy, I've got to be honest: you seem like my exact-other-side-of-the-world-counter-part-ed-soul... (save for the small differences in that I don't think I like to ramble-run-on-sentence as much, I don't seek to utilize metaphors all that often, and I really don't like to start new threads about my feelings on life, as much as I might like to) I mean, you are the realist, depressed-as-all-get-out guy, yet still you want to impart some brand of optimism upon others because, I don't know, maybe you think others problems' are not as big as they may think, or as big as yours, or mine?
-- (to note: today was pretty awful up until I stepped into the convenience store after work for 12 straight-hours, and bought meself some candy, a few tooth-cleaning implements, & topped it off with some static, scantily-clad ladies of SI, all with the sassistance of the homely clerk eafer to lend a hand.)
Kudos to you, MrFriendly, in being what I cannot: you are a proactive people-pleaser, as well as someone one isn't constantly bombarded by life's travails enough to not think that you are alone in your misery, or downtrodden enough to stop commiserating about it in a new thread. When I'm down (real down), I shut it down, in a way.
