Hey d00ds.

Setto?

Wow, Help.com really went to sh!t huh?
Shame that.

Weeeeell it has been a little time since I made one of these little posts. Or not so long at all really, depending on your view. Anywhoooooo…

Hmmmmm, many craaaazy craaaaazy occurrences have been slam dunked onto me it would seem. Some are awesome, some are really not, buuuut that’s the way business flows apparently. So, that leads me to the reasons for making this collection of nonsense. Well, as you may or may not know if you talk/type to me often, I don’t appear to be going through the gloomy drama phase that you may remember from when I first found this site. My brain’s still absolutely baffling me and I’m still tripping sober on a regular basis, still talking to and about CatMan hehehe, still smoking plentiful amounts of weed and will be for the foreseeable future I think. Still perfectly aware of and greatly saddened by the state of the world and the actions of our species on a whole. etc etc HOWEVER the whole mental side of things seems to be chugging along marvellously and many of the little games my brain plays with me I just ride out and try to enjoy now. I’ll be honest, I kinda find it fun, but whatever. Now also, some of you will know, there’s a certain fair maiden residing across the seaaaa and it’s my intention to make the journey. Obviously that raises all kinds of issues but I assure you it’s totally worth it. Quite a task to get done buuuut I’m looking forwards to the result. But yeah, actually getting that task done is going to be ummm, interesting, seeing as I have quite little munnies :S of course that could be solved by getting a job quick fast, if only I didn’t live in a small seaside town in a country that was economically scaring the sh!t out of itself. In other words, there’s no job to do here that’s legal. However I could of course sell certain plants to make some pennies if you get what I mean, but getting arrested for supplying doesn’t merge well with attempting to get over the ocean. Sooo that’s quite a conundrum for me to try and resolve, any advice on that would be appreciated.

NEXT; we have the glorious issue of my college course. And ooooh what an issue. I took so much time off this year, that if I want to pass with a decent grade I think I’ll kinda have to do another year of it. Which is really sh!t ‘cos the course sucks and teaches nobody anything but what’s to be done about it. And just to enlighten anyone not aware, too much time off is like, a few months when all added up. Yeah I kinda let myself give up being bothered about it for a while. Oh well. The only reason I even really care about finishing it anyway is the amount of hassle I’m getting about it from various sources. And all this is IF the tutor even lets me do another year, he don’t have much love for the Setto.

Aaaand next, we have the fact that it’s approaching summer. Now as people that actually know me are aware, summer is like the best times I’ve had each year. It’s when I met new people each year, did new things, went to new places, and smoked hella lots of weed. So all in all I have some tasty, tasty memories of that jazz. But these days all those lovely memories are just tainted by the fact that most of the people in them are now either junkies, a$$holes, psycho b!tches, mentally damaged beyond repair, traitorous snakes, gone away, or a combination of the above. Now I had kind of just got over it as far as I was aware, but the fact that it’s almost the same atmosphere as summer here now makes thinking about it all seem a lot more “something”. And I’m not sure what the “something” is but it’s something that really doesn’t feel very good at all. In fact it’s really nasty. So I kinda miss the way we all were ages ago, all my friends and people that were more than friends and we all thought we were the best of people having the best of times. It p!sses me off that those people are diffenrent in such bad ways now and there’s no way to go back and just have at least one more day of being happy and not worrying or caring about anything except the rest of the group. Oh well sh!t happens ey.

Aaaaaand as usual I’m still being hassled by crazy religious people of many races and beliefs, and they all wanna make me join their insane little crews and worship something or other. It’s really starting to annoy me.

Hmm, but what’s really making me feel down this time? OOOH IT’S THE BIG ONE CAP’N;
The fact is that I’m spending much of my time trying to find a way to make me being happy work, get across teh sea and such things, get some stuff done for me, which isn’t the usual agenda. BUT I look at things going on right now and I look at current events and I see the world and it’s major powers as being in a more dangerous position than it should ever be. And I see it as getting a HELL of a lot worse before it even gets a minute bit better. And I can’t help but feel like instead of trying to make myself happy I should be doing the tiny amount that I can to set right the fecking insanity that’s going to get us all dead if we don’t sort it.
BUT even so how would I go about that anyway. Nobody takes any sh!t seriously right now and it’s apparently some kind of cliché to want to create and establish a militant and successful revolution of global scale.

WELL all that aside, I’m not really sure where this is going, started or even was meant to be, sooo I’ll quit now before I actually get too deep into thinking and get properly distressed.

I’d also like to drop a shout out to all the chaps here at Help that I haven’t spoken to in too long, you peoples are seriously the best most awesome group of supporting and/or insane inhabitants of the interwebz. I do miss frequently communicating with you all and will make more of an effort with the old EEEEmails from now on.
Peace folks.

Epic Post, setto.

As fur the content, uh, I don’t know what to say about most of it. I guess people change, and that sucks sometimes, the economy is pretty much in the shitter, and that course sound like no fun.

This is Ikari Dawg, out.

HOWEVER the whole mental side of things seems to be chugging along marvellously and many of the little games my brain plays with me I just ride out and try to enjoy now.

That’s what I’ve noticed the most, for months now (not that I’ve seen you all that often) — your confidence and self-acceptance is pretty amazing … and maybe all the things that worried you about yourself and your life could use improvement somehow, but it’s so much easier to live and get anything done if you accept yourself. (It helps to know that a bunch of people like and accept you probably.)

Anyway, thanks for the novel.

Help me with: Is there something good about this site?

Wow Setto that’s a lot, and goodly portions of it.. good. What’s most significant is your attitude. It’s upbeat. There’s still a certain “whatever will be, will be” to it, but not the utter apathy and despair that has sometimes pervaded your epic crisis posts. Lets me take your points one at a time.

Your brain is still doing pyrotechnics, but it’s not freaking you out. It’s good that you know and understand yourself to that extent. I still think you need to get it properly diagnosed. Episodes of unreality have the potential to set your life off on a tangent. I know you’re cool with it for now, but of the many voices in the world, the voice of experience says you should know exactly what you have.

The fair maiden.. congrats man. There is nothing on earth that will put a bounce in your step like love. Is she someone we know?

The job.. find something honest even if it pays less. Karma will catch up with you for good or bad.

The good old days with friends who have f’d up their lives.. that happened with me too. Of my old wrestling teammates, one was in prison, one was heroin addict, one had died in a bar. Life takes a toll. What you can’t see now is that some of the ones who weren’t cool enough to party with, who felt nothing but rejection at that age, will be the ones who find strength in their middle years, and who carry your generation’s legacy. Life is irony. And depending on how you look at things, the past won’t always be past. Find a way to break out of your summer routine.

Ignore the zealots.

The economy brings everyone down, but it doesn’t have to break our spirits. I’m unemployed now, but not dispirited. The world is NOT ending. It’s a recession and it will pass more quickly than the news media would have us believe. We just need to find work soon, and not be prideful about it. Not hoping to dig ditches either, but there is no dishonor in working hard with your hands and back. It’s what people have done all along. When hard times come, as they do over and over, the ones who can still find hope are the ones who will not be scarred or scared by the times. And yes, beyond voting it’s out of our hands.

In the states, we voted for change and we’re getting it I hope, but even the experts on the global economy are mostly guessing. If they don’t tinker with it too much the marketplace will bounce back in time. We don’t need a “militant and successful revolution”, but to have sensible democratically-elected leaders. And on that score I’m encouraged somewhat.

I’ve missed hearing from you Setto. You’re actually doing the best ever since I’ve know you. Lemme know if you are anywhere near my town when you visit stateside.

Heya dude. :D
As for the fair maiden yeah it’s someone you know :P You inadvertently had a part in causing the whole encounter apparently o.o

Yeah it seems like I’m not doing too bad compared to usual :) hopefully it’ll last a while at least.

Yeah gotta keep trying to get some legal work -__- no point in not at least trying I guess.

Be warned that when I finally get to travelling around I may well attempt to have a visit to nearby you, as an actually conversation would be a real bonus :P
