It's shallow. I swear to god this is the worst of the worst. I make over $500 per day. The money is shit.

[Cincinnatus]

The thing about money is that it doesn't turn the unhappy man into a happy one.

But it can turn the downtrodden, insecure man into a confident one.

And through his own confidence, may he pursue happiness.

I'm attemping to work my way to the top, but I'll never let go of my working class roots that keep me grounded in gratefulness. Time will always be more valuable than money to me.

Johnny Cash killed that fucking song. I remember when Nine Inch Nails released "Hurt" back when I was in high school. I liked the song back then but, God Damn, Johnny made it his own. Watching that youtube video just now actually brought a tear to my eye.

But yeah, I think about that shit too. I wonder if the player lifestyle will leave me in my last days dying alone. However, even people with families often die alone in some nursing home or in their apartment. The only people in my family who died with all of their family by their bedside died in unbearable agony as cancer at through their system. In contrast, the folks in my family who died alone, died quick and alone. I'll take that over months of cancer any day.

I think I will use the Clooney model. Date till I'm 50-55 then finally find somebody to grow old with. Do we have any 50+ players here? I wonder what there take is on the lifestyle.

Untill then I'll play on and hope I don't spit out any kids.

Johnny Cash's Hurt cover is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Personally, I've always imagined myself settling down one day in a mansion and having a large family. I fancy myself the patriarch of a dynasty one day, raise my sons to be G's and carry on my legacy. I'd never marry the women though, no "common law" marriages either. And I'd paternity test the children and select the mother very very carefully.

We're men, there's no expiry date for us. My father got married and had me when he was 45 (only child here). You could put off settling down till 40 and still have time to have a few kids.

Do you look like Clooney and have his bankroll ?
If not,I'd rethink that strategy

[Anon-A-Moose]

Cash's "hurt" is a pretty epic song.
My uncle's still a player in his sixties, and he has a fairly limited bankroll (works for the Army)

Money has never bought me happiness. It really complicates things once you hit the point of comfort. My game is better, I look better, and I feel better about myself now on unemployment then I did when I made 30-40k.

haha i was just thinking exactly the same thing few hours ago.

I was happier when i had less money. However i dont see money as evil, matterfact i believe that money can bring happiness if you know how to play your cards right, but its the chasing of money that makes you unhappy, because you will have to go shit that you dont want to go through, you will be sacrificing part of your life in order to make that good cake.

The chasing of money doesnt bring happiness (specially when you are working for other people), now having money, just having money can bring you happiness if you play your cards right. Money is a tool, its about knowing how to use that tool.

Damn, I wanted to give Pitt a rep point for being a real G about his. For a cat in his quarter century, you are definitely bout it. Your African root has helped you with wisdom, o!
Bless!

Ok, I have no idea what the purpose of this thread was. I was fucked up as a woman's checkbook last night. Disregard.

What do you do for work again, Ali? You hit large tractor tires with a sledge hammer in Afghanistan or somethin, right?

Ya, those tires take 3 men to lift from the floor. I don't work out in the gym anymore due to the heavily lifting. And the glass on those beasts? Fucks. We install that shit by hand. Heavy and dangerous.

[LostGringo]

Well done Ali! I love the drunken posts and I hope that twisted-fucks (like me) keep them coming - much more entertaining than what fucking clothes to wear or what lines to use on some skank in a bar in Bangkok/Kiev/Rio/Vegas. If I knew how to give "rep points" (or gave a shit) - I would pass one along.
