From the sounds of it...

If Bill Hicks were still alive he'd march that troop of boyscouts w/ crowbars out the San Andreas fault to create Arizona Bay, thereby fixing the nation's economy.

Sweet! I'll have some water front property! Beach parties, beer, and turbo fests on the sand. Maybe we'll invite buk and widebuddy for lulz.

What is your personal opinion on that situation? Are we creating felons by legalizing everything, or do some of these people need to be locked up?

It's not.

What is effecting me is medical bills from going to the er after trying to kill myself (yes, i went through with it. I got pushed a little too hard about 3 weeks ago. Problem solved though), Then i have bills from going to see mandatory shrinks at a treatment center against my will, then i have another bill from going to the er again because i couldn't eat food (made me feel like throwing up to smell it....had no appetite, even after smoking a shitload of weed) and then my body started to eat itself and i was puking up green/black ----...... 10k down the hole and insurance isn't paying for ----. Neither am i. I told the cops to just let me kill myself. My now ex gf's bitch called the cops. My brother watched me walk out of the house holding a razor, jumped on my *** and tackled me. I sliced my thumb all the ---- up and was screaming for him to get the ---- off me. Ex's friend freaked out and felt the need to call the police instead of letting me leave to take care of business......


Since i tossed the **** out of my house, my bills went down $350 a month. 1 ------- person racked my ---- up $350 a month. Therefore, now i can afford a good lawyer, buy ---- for my car and whatnot and keep food in my fridge. How ------- hard is it to take a 15 minute shower and turn off the lights, tv when you're not in the room? How ------- hard is it?


Wait, the economy is effecting me. My shift is changing from 40pm thursday through sunday to 40pm start monday through thursday...... I guess that's not bad. I lose my weekend pay $1.35/hr but i just got a $.50 cost of living increase raise and i'll get to party it up friday through sunday again. So my pay goes from $19/hr to like 18 something..... I'm bad at math....or maybe i'm just lazy.

Yes, i have problems.

GET OFF MY ------- BACK!

Eh I tried that years and years ago.

Waste of time.

On a very deep trip under the influence of dextromethorphan, a dissociative, robo-trippin, I realized that nobody is going to make life better for you. If there's something about it that you don't like, get off your *** and fix it.

Now, despite being in debt, single, and living with a friend, I'm still happy. ----'s getting better.

Quit being a -----.

Well, it's more of common-sense type ----.

Much easier to find simple answers to problems when you're head is operating in a simple, logical, rational way. Normal state of mind, my head is clouded with too much other ----. When I'm stoned I over-analyze every ------- thing, and while it does give me a better perspective on some ----, for other things it just makes me paranoid/depressed.

Drugs are great for a alternate point of view, as long as you have enough sense to pick the right view.
