Come Get Your Lounge

[SymbioticToxin]

I get it now. I'm a terrible friend and a horrible human being who can't keep his promises. I fail. I should just ****ing die already.

Okay Toxin, chill.
Sleeping all day because you're tired from work doesn't make you a terrible excuse of a human being. Makes you someone who needs sleep after working all night. I'm sure your friend understands or will understand. If not, **** him.

 

[DarkSentinel]

That's not the point. The point is we hadn't chilled since Halloween, and I made a promise and arrangements to work on a project because this was the first day I was really able to, and couldn't come through. And I should ALWAYS keep my promises, no ifs, ands or buts.

How can we live in a world where promises are broken and just nonchalantly set aside? That's a jaded and destructive philosophy.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

There's a difference between 'breaking a promise' and 'oh hey, sorry, I waaaaay overslept and was dead tired'.

 

[DarkSentinel]

That's a piss poor excuse and you know it, dude. If you give your word then should be no exceptions.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Calm down Senty, you have your limits, as hard as it is to unwillingly break a promise, you don't have to beat yourself too hard over it.

 

[Prison Mike]

It must be all that vaping...

 

[DarkSentinel]

Do I sound like I'm ****ing joking around, Mike? My ****ing life is in ruins right now because I can't keep my ****ing word man. In the end your word is all you have and now all I have is a plateful of jack with a side of squat.

Dude overreact much?

I haven't been able to hang out with my friends since January. Its called life, and responsibilities. They get in the way. Its a part of getting older. I dont promise my friends we will hang out. I just say I will if I can, and we all understand when we can't.

And your body's needs and health take priority promises be damned. If you needed sleep then you needed sleep and if your friend is shallow and incapable of realizing this then he or she isn't much of a friend. But I bet they do understand that you needed to sleep. Stop beating yourself up over this. You're not a ****** person for sleeping. **** happens. Life goes on and true friendships weather the B.S. of life.

 

[DarkSentinel]

That's not how it should work, Marv. No wonder this world is so ****ed up.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Yeah, DS, this is all overreacting shenanigans. You don't immediately fail as a human being because you failed to meet with a friend for the sole reason of getting off work and sleeping. There is no one who has ever kept every promise they've made, good or bad reasons aside. You just happened to break this one for a good reason. It's not an 'excuse' it's fact. Either let it go and try to set up another time to do whatever your project is with your buddy at a later time that works with your work schedule, or don't. Simple as that. Don't whine and pitch a fit because you happen to have a moment of being a human being.
And please, people, enough with the vape jokes. It got old real fast.

Exactly.

My best friend I've not seen since July. We only live a couple of hours drive away nowadays. We text and say we should meet up but for one reason or another it hasn't happened yet. Don't mean I'm a terrible friend and I should drown my sorrows. He understands and I understand its' cool.

 

[OriginalMiles]

I think DS is being sarcastic??? That's the vibe i'm getting from his posts right now.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I can't look at it like that. My word and my honor are the most uniquely important things I possess, and if I cannot hold to them then what do I have? A person's word and honor used to MEAN something, and now because of all this inane nonsense that we've allowed to just become a part of our everyday lives that meaning has eroded into a malignant ethical cancer that will one day consume the soul of humanity and end us.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Yeah, he's just ****ing around.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I am not, Miles. I don't "**** around" when it comes to a person's word and honor.

 

[OriginalMiles]

He's definitely ****ing with us.

 

[Fallen Angel]

The greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity or power but self-rejection.


Sums up Senty at this moment.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Miles, seriously, **** OFF. I am not in the mood, and if this is some attempt to make me laugh or feel better then I appreciate that but this is something I feel too strongly about to simply shrug off. I just can't do it.

 

[Airnick]

I think DS is being sarcastic??? That's the vibe i'm getting from his posts right now.

I'm getting that same sense.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Now I'm not so sure.

Understanding DS's true emotions is like trying to get a duck to pay taxes.

 

[DarkSentinel]

There are certain things I simply don't joke about.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Not trying to start anything, DS, but this is pretty scary , irrational behavior. You're blowing this way out of proportion, it's almost pathological. You need to calm down and deal with it.

 

[OriginalMiles]

I mean, it's not like you intentionally missed hanging out with your friend right???? All you did was oversleep, which happens to everybody from time to time.

 

[Marvolo]

My best friend (practically my brother) is an ocean away and I haven't seen him in two years. He's stationed in Germany. Now that ****ing sucks. He's only got one more year tho. Unless he signs another contract which I wouldnt fault him for. He could make a career out of the military (he is a helicopter mechanic living in a beautiful german town ), and it beats working some BS minimum wage job back in the States.
