What's on Your Mind: The Saga - Page 8398

Does anyone know how I can make a reeeeally large jpeg? Like thousands of pixels wide?

MS Paint ain't cutting it.

(Or even better, how to set up one of those photos you can zoom in and out of from the web.)

Knerys · 12-08-2012, 05:34 PM

Oh my god. Disaster. Total disaster. This loss hurts. So much.

Goddammit.

sshuttari · 12-08-2012, 05:36 PM

What's wrong Knery?

Knerys · 12-08-2012, 05:42 PM

Navy beat Army for the Commander and Chief Trophy.

Army had it. They ****ing had it! Down 4 points. On the 15 yard line. And absolute disaster.

Edit: You have to understand. Navy has beat Army the last 11 years. Army is not had the trophy for last 16. It's devastating.

sshuttari · 12-08-2012, 05:48 PM

sorry to hear that...

Knerys · 12-08-2012, 06:03 PM

You're not sorry. You have no idea my pain.

sshuttari · 12-08-2012, 06:44 PM

Well that is true, I don't. But pain is pain... and I'm some sorry whatever pain that is

FranklinTard · 12-08-2012, 06:54 PM

My knowledge of 90's music finally paid off. 1000 bucks for getting 16/18 correct.

**JBond** · 12-08-2012, 07:01 PM

What now?

Tolkien · 12-08-2012, 07:37 PM

I've spent too much time lingering here. There's only so many times I can allow myself to be walked all over...

I think the time has come for me to start making plans to move away from this place before I put a bullet in my ****ing head.

I don't see myself surviving this mind**** life the way it is anymore. I need to go already.

Justin · 12-08-2012, 07:52 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, Tolk.

Consider talking to these people, or trying to take some time off, or even try and change your circumstances some other way. I don't know.

Ultimately, if nothing else works, if it's making you unhappy, then start making plans to move. Sure it sounds like a big jump, but if it'll give you some peace, then it'll be worth it.

Tolkien · 12-08-2012, 09:14 PM

I've put my life on hold for my family for almost eight years now. College, career, life, etc... My parents, my aunties, my brother. I can't blame my brother because he's in the same situation as I am, only he's too soft to stand up to them. They live by a rule of control, both of them. I only moved back to Hawaii because they needed my help at the time. I told myself I'd say here a year, maybe two. Just to help get my brother's life on track, look after my mother who was sick at the time and give my father a hand. Eight years later I find myself under their rule again, being treated as if I'm a kid, even though I'm less than a year from 30. It's just insane, and I have nobody else to blame but myself for staying here so long and putting up with their bull****. It's been five years since I've done some travelling, or took a vacation away from the states just for myself. I can't even finish writing a ****ing book I started four years ago. There's only so much I can take, and I think I've reached my limits. I need to go. I need to get far, far away from here.

Wyldstaar · 12-08-2012, 09:22 PM

A change of scene can do a world of good. New place, new people, new circumstances with no preconceived notions about who you are and what you're like. No expectations to meet, since nobody knows what to expect. It's a grand old world with lots to see and experience. Sounds as though it's time for you to experience something new.

A bullet to the head isn't new. It's been done, and is very uninspiring. Taking a chance on the unknown, now that's inspiring.

Come to Asia. You are halfway here from the States anyway.

Seriously dude, check out LA. No matter what you do for a living I guarantee you'll find a job in that field. For real you should eyeball it.

Ramplate · 12-09-2012, 06:21 AM

Tolk, sounds like a good idea really. Plan it out well and take that step.

============

I guess I have an MRI scheduled today to look into my spinal problems. I didn't think I was going to have one but someone at the hospital suggested it would be a good idea, so my doctor agreed.

Yeah, we actually had that game on at work, and I saw the end of the it. I don't even watch football that much, and...I dunno. Maybe it was because I was in the Army.

Knerys · 12-09-2012, 10:04 AM

We'd go to the Air Force/Army and some Air Force/Navy games when I was in Colorado (Air Force Hockey too). Never been to Army/Navy though. Always wanted too. We were always this little puddle of black and gold, in a sea of Blue. But those games were fun.

The thing that really got to me was the Army quarterback still singing his alma mater though his heavy sobs. Arguably the most heartbreaking loss I've ever seen.

Ramplate · 12-09-2012, 10:29 AM

Well, I drove 20 minutes down to the hospital, found a front row parking space (a rare find), and found out their MRI was broken and I have to reschedule.
So I bought lunch and came home.
