Im only staying alive for my parents  . I would never die before my parents because it would hurt them too much. Fuck everyone , the only person that brightens my spirits is jason genova or anyone from the misfit crew. Women are pointless

I've been told that one thing that gives life meaning is serving others.  Use whatever means you have to help other people...or even just one person.

Most people are shit, but not everyone.  Don't isolate yourself broskie.  It can be a bad thing when you have too much idle time.  The mind starts to wander and it usually goes to dark places.

Is that where they take that DMT stuff him and joe rogan talk about all the time?

It sounds nifty except for the aliens, puking your guts out, and shitting your pants on the beach........

I'm going with the shamans to do it next weekend. Let you know how it goes. Removes the ego and let's you see things without the false filter we have in the mind. Sometimes screaming, crying and yes even vomiting...you are purging alot of shit out...emotionally, spiritually...

Like I said..going into traditional ceremony next week...let you know.

This should be an interesting report back.
Hope it goes well for you.

I've opted to delete all of my posts on this matter because this thread appears to not be a joke.
I'm sorry for your troubles.
I hope you find inner peace.
Life is too short to be unhappy.

Has beenxbattling with her 7monthh little brother fighting for his life.. Life isnt fsir always you are the only person who can make it better

I didn't pay him much attention, but I remember him doing the Mr. Getbig contest.  I did not realize he was so fucking tall...what is he like 6'5"?  If he's 300 in that bottom pic it has more to do with his height than being severely out of shape IMO.  

I'm mid 40's, and I'm making progress lifting like a bitch, and just now starting to add cardio regularly.  If my repaired bicep tendon holds up, and I hit my goal at the end of this 12 week phase (started on 4/7), I will have gained over 17lbs of muscle back, and lost at least 30lbs of fat since Dec. 29th....I say at least, bcuz it took me til the 12th of Jan. to work up the nerve to get my bf% tested....or more aptly put endure the shame ,and I lost about 7 lbs during that time so who knows what I was when I started?

Keep in mind, I was so terrified to start again that I started with 5 and 10lb dbells ON EVERYTHING for the first two weeks, and I only did 2 weight workouts and 2 cardio sessions from 2-9 thru 3-10.....and 1 of each of those were done the same day.  I also ate like complete shit starting the weekend before during the Super Bowl.

Today, I met a brother who was doing deads a few feet away from the cable station I was on.  He was talking to a young bigger black dude each time I noticed in between supersets w/low pec dips.  I noticed him, because of two things.  I thought he was holding up the big guy from doing his deadlifts, which at the time there was 315 on the bar.  The other reason was he had on a Vietnam Vet hat, and seemed like he could barely walk or was in great pain.  As I was finishing up, I noticed the big dude was gone, and I see the old man who can "barely walk" going to grab another 45lb plate.  We don't have bar jacks at the gym I go to, so I look over and noticed one side is rolled up onto a 10 lb plate to allow loading......that's an old school trick , and suddenly it clicked that HE was the one deadlifting and the other guy had been talking to him and slowing him down.  

A really long story could go with all of this, but we talked three times for about 15 minutes each.  Very cool dude, and very candid and interesting conversation.....even political.  When I went to leave I noticed he was still doing deads, and thought "what the hell; I'll go say goodbye, and find out when he usually trains."  He tells me that I inspired him to do 455 today, and he was only going up to 405 before we talked the first time.  I don't really know what I said that inspired him other than complimenting him, but I just looked at him funny, laughed, and said "Ronnie, you gotta be fucking kidding me.  You're 72, a Vet, black and don't believe in reparations, and can barely walk but your deadlifting what I did for my heavy rep sets in my 20's and early 30's.  I'm just getting started again, and I'm inspired just seeing you go at it!"  
He gave me a funny look, and asked what I meant?  I said "I noticed you're like taking little steps when you walk, I didn't mean to offend you.....did you have some bad injury or something?  I've just never seen anyone walk that slow, and then lift that kind of weight....you're an animal dude"  He looks at me, and says "no brother, I'm fine.  Even when I was young my dad used to say "boy what the hellz wrong with you walking like that?"..  I guess I never learned how to walk like John Wayne"  
I was cracking up, and asked "didn't you watch Richard Pryor.....he taught every black guy how to walk in the 70's?", and he goes "yeah, but that dude's fucking crazy....I just take my time" LOL!

Only in a gym, and with two old school iron gym rats of different races have the conversation that we had.  My workout wasn't that great, but my day sure was because of my new friend Ronnie!

He is 6'6".

I can 100 % understand what Falcon is going through though.

Life isn't as enjoyable in your 40s-50s after a lot of tragedies in the family, injuries etc

Falcon is also known to have experimented with certain drugs that may have changed his outlook on life.

After you have lost loved ones and things seem grim, sometimes you may ask yourself, what is the point?

Please give us date you will be leaving, and your return date now so we know you didn't get dead.  

 This will also allow us to know if we are talking to the real you or the extra-terrestrial you during that period.   Finally, you'll have the added benefit of us all letting you know if this "trip" made you off your rocker instead of you thinking you're enlightened.

Enjoy, but be safe!

I for one, seriously can't wait to see your return thread, and read about your experiences.....

FFS!   That just kinda proves my point that 300 isn't that outta shape for him then.  Probably has 40-50 lbs tops of fat to lose to get to where he was....how much muscle that means he needs to gain back though is different matter

Good question since my little brother died three moths ago everything just hasnt been thexsame,  atcthe saöe time my daughter who is the sunshine ofxly life.

That honestly sucks to read man, but question for ya......are you making it better with some type of substance right now, or have you just not used a keyboard to type for a while?  I'm being silly with the way I'm asking, but wondering for real about how you're handling all that based on your post here?

Seriously, hope things work out for you, your daughter, and her step-brother/your son?. 

You're right, life is not fair.  In fact, some things fucking suck and happen completely outside the scope of our control!   Sometimes too much shit seems to come at once, and....

You're wrong that you're the only one that can make it better, but whether you choose to be an active part of the solution is entirely up to you.

Good luck, stay strong, and try to keep a positive mindset!

I lost both my parents and am asking myself similar questions.What Kwon said is true, you are never the same after deaths of close ones, especially parents, there will never be anyone on this earth that loved you unconditionally like they did, not your kids, not your wife, not your siblings, and not your best friend.ultimately everything we do is pointless.

To be blunt other than to perpetuate the species
There is No Point.
We are Born We Live We Die
Just like every other creature.

The Harsh reality of our meagre existence.
Hopefully we get to Enjoy our Brief Time On this Planet.

It's all perspective.  What if you saw Earth as a physical amusement park for your spirit (or consciousness) to play?

Then youd think it was pointless if you had any depth of personality or thought.

Life generally gets shit as you get older

Parents die, you start looking like an old man and fucking hot young pussy is a thing of the past and you look and feel like a twat in a late bar/nightclub, worrying about where you are going on the piss with your mates that weekend becomes worrying about mortgage and feeding your family.

Personally I only care to exist long enough to see my kids grow up, I believe after that there will be fuck all left, my dad was my best mate and he died a few years ago. Me and my mates have promised we will end our days slowly drinking ourselves to death in whatever is our local club by then

This.Its much harder for men too since we dont have that emotional support network that women do (no homo), this idea that we have equality is a joke really.Sorry to hear about your dad.Losing a parent or parents is the worst thing, along with losing a child.Nothing prepares you for the empty void.

I actually LOVE the idea of this perspective!  Problem is to really live like that to the fullest and in the truest spirit of that perspective a person needs lottsa $$$, and free time.

But hey, if you're black and vote for Kamala, Booker, or some of the other demcoCrats you might get a nice check cut and have both!

I agree with the last part a ton, but I don't have kids.  Honestly, I love old people, but the fact that when I walk my dog around the senior living complex across the parking lot and they spend an hour talking, and then thank me endlessly for stopping by; while at the same time I see all the happiness leave their body as me and my dog walk away...just tells me that life past 75 is pretty mutha fuckin pointless.  

When I can't control my bowels, move freely, drive, care for myself, or hit 75.....some combination or whichever comes first.....I'm outta this bitch.

Its the loneliness for them that does it.They lost their partner, all their friends, their kids dont visit them.Once you fail to offer something to someone else aka money, status, looks then you are discarded.Goes back to the parents thing, thats the only unconditional love you will EVER find in this world.Dont forget that if yours are still living.This is a shallow, shallow world.

I have a 97 year old "friend" that's been wanting to check out for 20+ years ~ actually longer because one of his sons was brutally murdered 35 years ago.  He finds joy in watching his grandaughter (who he & his wife basically raised) and great-grandchildren grow and finds purpose caring for his 94 year old wife.

I understand what you are saying, but your statement presumes that everyone has good parents.  My parents live right up the street, and my life would not change one bit other than having to help my mom out if my dad died today.  The thing I don't understand about my mom, and resent her for the most is that she never left my dad.  She wanted to multiple times, but he told her he "would not give a dime for those fucking kids".  Classy guy, right?

I know I have white privilege and all so many likely won't get it, but this has always been something that was hard for me to understand as my mom is someone that still gets compliments on her looks for her age (late 60's), they have no social life...never have, and my dad was a h.s. drop out who never made more than 60K/yr......she always worked part-time to supplement the family income until she turned 60, and him making 60K didn't happen until the last 5-10 yrs of his career.  She would have had many options, and even if she didn't, that side of the family takes care of it's own.

Honestly, both of their personalities are the reason I'm such a rock the boat type....just for different reasons.  I guess what I'm saying is having parents doesn't always equate to having love that is unconditional.  Sometimes the conditions aren't worth the love either......just like any other relationship.  Sometimes it's best just to walk away.

So having a father at home is now "white privilege"?   I know that's not what  you're saying but it kinda reads that way.  LOL!
