Good advice guys. You're all probably right, I've probably just let myself get into a rut. I'll see if I can't drag Max out this weekend or something. Thanks. :)
Set some goals for yourself. Try to excel at your job, surpass yourself. I personally think I had my mid-life crisis last year. It was my first year of college and I totally ****** it up. Big time. I spent about $7,000 on drugs in one year. I ventured into a relationship with a girl that was a notorious cocaine addict (she was very hot though; rich white girls). The amount of "fun" I had last year surpasses other people's fun that they've experience in a life time.
After this terrible year was over, I came home to my parents as a ******* train-wreck. I mean, I was addicted to all kinds of **** and my parents were really worried. I basically slapped myself a couple times in the face (seriously) got a stupid job at Macy's, took summer school, got A's and re-thinked my life for a very long time. I would spend nights writing in a journal the possibilities of how to undo all the stupid things I did the last year. I basically came down to the conclusion that the only way I will become something in life is to take up the very boring routine of being a good kid, excel in school, become financially independent, and partake the boring adult life until I die.
Because of this "revelation" that I incrusted in my head, I haven't partied since last May, I am doing an outstanding job in college and am actually enjoying being a normal and respectable person. The downside is huge though. I am boring. Period. I don't do anything, just study and do the errands that are required of me. I guess my life will be a bore, but at least I know I won't **** it up. So I guess the best would be to "suck it up."

No offense meant, but that sounds hideous.
Look: you're young exactly once. Hell, you're ALIVE exactly once.
DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. Don't infringe on anyone else's happiness, but ffs LIVE YOUR FREAKING LIFE.
Time is all we have of life. Don't waste it trying to be, of all soul-sucking things, normal.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I know I decided to choose a weird lifestyle at 18 years old, but if you saw what I did the previous year, I'm pretty sure you would congratulate me for it.
Sounds like you're overreacting a bit, Dynastey.
Well, you're right. I'm sure one time or another I will go back to my "wild" side, but after what I've seen and done, I'm kinda scared of doing any drugs but alcohol. Ever. Again.
ODing on coke is not fun (I don't think I ODed. I felt really weak, passed out, woke up, puked). Being lost in Santa Barbara on acid is not fun. Taking five pills of ecstasy in one night then puking blood for twenty minutes is not fun. Eating two weed brownies is not fun. Smoking crack before class and almost getting caught doing it is not fun. You catch my drift?

I'm an Indie Musician based in San Francisco and an ex-High Level Acid Dealer.
I do.
That being said...it's good to chill for a couple of years...but for bob's sake ....don't get boring.
"Eating two weed brownies is not fun."
I beg to differ.

It's annoying as hell. I'm not even sure WHY it's annoying. I just feel like I'm letting "it" happen to me, whatever "it" is. I miss going out with my friends and partying until sunrise, I miss having fun and not stressing over everything.
I sit here every night and do the exact same routine. My boyfriend comes home from work. He plays FFXI for a while whilst I watch TV. One of us makes dinner. We eat our meal, then watch a movie. He goes to bed, I browse the internet for an hour or two and then I go to bed. Repeat. Ad nauseum. Every single day is the exact same thing. I want to go out to a pub or something but then I think about it and can't justify "wasting the money". I haven't taken any sort of illicit substance in three years. I haven't gotten good and drunk in over a year. I haven't danced in two years. But I do the dishes every ******* day. How do you get through this? At what point will I become "comfortable" with my settled and uneventful existence? Seriously, I think about it and want to cry. I feel like I'm wasting my life on stupid **** like deciding what laundry detergent is the best bargain.
I don't WANT to be settled. It's like I've let myself become numb to life. I don't even TRY to go out and have fun anymore. And then every once in a while it's like I wake up for a moment and wonder how the hell I got here.
Sorry to go all deep and serious, I'm just going through a really rough spot right now and it's left me questioning who I even am.

Hmm, I'm 27 and you sound just like me. I never really did drugs or got drunk, but I used to dance, go out with friends, and just generally do interesting things *all* the time. I never do now. I'm married, live in a nice house in a peaceful section of the city, do housework and yardwork, struggle to pay my bills, and generally wonder when I got so old and boring and what happened to all the dreams and goals I used to have for myself. I don't really have an answer for you (hell, I don't have one for me either), but I hope it makes you feel a little better to know that your situation isn't that uncommon.
It's f*cking frustrating, isn't it?

Crazy. However, I wouldn't go around saying I am an ex-acid dealer on forums. You never know when the FBI might show up to your door, slap the Patriot Act in your face and put you in jail for being a "terrorist."
You can come hide in my basement but you must provide some drugs in order to stay.
Sab,
Get on a plane to Havana. All your worries disappear with rum and cigars!

Why did you stop ?
It was too much like a sales job in a multinational corporation.
Except for the cement shoes they like to give people.

Considering it was quite a while ago and everyone above me is in jail.
I doubt they care about me.
Besides, why would I want to leave my palatial hill-top flat? ;)
