My life is growing increasingly less interesting.
I'm about to turn 37, and have absolutely nothing exciting or interesting to look forward to.

:sigh:

1. Invent some sort of extreme photography
Like, and I'm just making this up out loud, the angry faces of old men after you run onto the putting green and kick their balls.

The golf balls, obviously, but take the pictures as they're running after you.

Wish I could give you some real advice

4. None of us know what lies ahead.
I'm a little older than you (I'm 44) and I've seen that life has taken many strange twists and turns. Be glad that life is in a slow time for you and use the time to prepare for the times ahead when life isn't so smooth.
I would suggest that you look into doing some volunteer work and see how tough life can be for those on the bottom. Helping your fellow humans and thinking of them is the best way to get out of a blue funk.
Good luck to you!

5. it appears Quinn and Althea isn't keeping you busy enough

What about the mid terms?

Or do we need to take up a collection, and hire you a stripper? :D

6. I'm 37.
Life just took off for me a few months ago, after sitting at rock-bottom for years. I took a chance...

I hope what you're looking for is right around the corner. :)

(Trust me, I'm not normally this optimistic either!)

8. You can look forward to the day when Bush leaves office : )




Whether he leaves voluntarily or involuntarily, it's still going to be a great day!

You never know what might be around the corner. I made some pretty huge changes in my life in the past few months, and I have never been happier.

Good luck, sweetie. You deserve happiness. :hug:

Increasingly becoming less?

Your subject line is giving me a headache.

13. Not in the budget unfortunately.
And it would be a lonely trip :(

I mean, I'm not adverse to the idea, but no fundage or company makes it a tad less appealing.

14. take heart
with very little effort, anyone can turn his or her entire life into a colossal bummer. It's easy: pick a fight with the biggest dude you you can find...give your wallet to a crack head...eat some unwashed, raw chicken...set fire to your living room. Be creative! Anyone's life can be interesting in no time.

Or do what I do, and just check out this poster:

15. Every time I see "consider the lillies" I think
"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"

"Pete, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don't intend to dignify with comment. But I would like to address your general attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lilies of the goddamn field or... hell! Take at look at Delmar here as your paradigm of hope."
