I don' t like being 24

The years seem to be speeding up and it' s pissing me off. Just one more year and half my life will be over!!!

I liked being 23. It was a good age. Now i just feel old. Not wiser, just frickin' old!!!

I mean a few years ago i was thinking where i' d be and what i' d be doing when i was 25 and it included things like children and stuff. Life is just passing too quickly...

Alcohol doesn' t seem to be helping either.

You expect too much of yourself. Just relax and have fun.

Well, it helps to not think about time in the little segments we' ve put it into over the years, but as a river that you want to ride down as long as you can. Of course Lewis Black refers to time as a river of sh*t, and as you paddle down it in your little canoe, your oar keeps getting shorter. It also might help to spend a lot of time around the senior iron man competitions to show that you can still be healthy and competent in your old age, either that or spend some time around nursing homes to make you feel better about yourself now.

Good God! What' s the life expectancy where you' re from?

Holy shit Nitro, does that mean I have 12 years left to live then?

I used to think the same way, but I am almost 36, getting married in just over a month, have a good circle of friends,earn a good wage. Life as they say is good.

Your moving to Canada Nitro, a fresh start in a new country, If you want something. Just go and take it.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I know what you mean Nitro. Life is moving fast, a bit too fast it seems sometimes. Hell i wish i was 19 again ;) with the money i earn now though

wrong thread.

Just enjoy it while you' ve got it bud. You' ve seen China, Canada, the USA, Egypt(?) Regardless, you' ve gone more places than some will in their entire lives. Not to mention, you only really start getting to do cool shi7 when you turn 18 anyway, so you' ve really only knocked off 7 years of useful time. You' ve got over 25 more years to kill before you start to slow down.

God... I should be the next Dr. Phil!

Sorry kid, but nothing sounds younger and more naive than a 24-year-old saying he feels old!

There' s nothing you can do to stop the passage of time. All you can do is endeavor to live to the fullest all the time. Doing some work on the side to help others less fortunate than you is also worth looking into.

Hell when i turned 24 this year I felt no different, 23 and 22 weren' t so good either. Blasted Bitch. Zoy you mean well and it is what you do now and how you spent time with others that count, but my heart is happily painted black. The world made me what I am now.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Some cool dude once said
" life is not the moments you have lived, but the moments you remember"
You seem to have lots of great memories so you' ve probably lived your life to the fullest so far.

You only plan on living until you are 50?

24 isn' t bad. Hell, 34 isn' t bad (I' m not there yet). But if you want to speed up looking like an old man, then alcohol, cigarettes and lack of sleep are all good ways to do it. Fortunately I don' t smoke, rarely drink and sleep 16 hours a day so I look like I' m 12 years old!

sleep 16 hours a day

Seriously, do you really sleep 16 hours a day?

Does that mean I can call you Catman from now on?

I do sleep 16 hours, but not in one day. Maybe in about 1 and 3/4 of a day.

Actually I usually get a bit less than 7 or 8 hours if I' m lucky on work days, and then I try and go for as much as I can when I don' t have to work.

I just turned 21...I hate birthdays.

Happy birthday! Drinkaments?

Drinkaments

What in the fuck is a drinkament?

Just one more year and half my life will be over!!!

Since you could die tomorrow or live to the grand old age of 100, this statement could be so very wrong

I hate being 19, and you go on about being 24

Given, I can' t wait to be 21 All movies are open to me, ha!

You have to be 21 to watch some movies in SE Asia?

" Given, I can' t wait to be 21 All movies are open to me, ha!"

You guys are nuts with your age restrictions. In the part of Canada where I live, it' s 16 to drive, 18 to drink and buy cigarettes and technically 18 to watch Rated R or A movies but no one here enforces the age minimum for movies.


EDIT: I looked into the age limit of countries in general and apparently Haiti has a legal drinking and buying age of 6. That' s just odd, why even have an age minimum if you make it at 6 years old? Well at 6, kids are mature enough to drink, but 5...5 is just too young. LOL, what a fucked up country.

Are you sure that' s not Ireland? (The sound of an American being curb stomped by The World Stereotype Police.)

Nope, Ireland is 18. Speaking of Ireland. Isn' t tomorrow St. Patricks day?(depending on where you live)

Does anyone here celebrate? I do, I' m not Irish but I' ll celebrate any holiday that involves drinking. I won' t be drinking much this year though, I have to go to my Grandfather' s place tomorrow for a fondue. God damn my life is getting dull.

Anyway' s to all the Irish members here, cheers, and stay away from the green beer.

Hahaha, i' m an Irish Jew so i' ll be in the pub all day!

Silent is a genuine Irish, and so is somebody else but i can' t think who...

...and what' s a fondue?

Movies? 21? I am not sure about where you live Byakko, Malasia right? or Thailand or someplace. Wait Thailand is nowhere near Malasia. Fuck it, I watched the film last night with your man after his two elephants and it he was thailand, yeah it was really stupid. but the fight scenes where cool, I laughed when the huge 11 foot man brust through the wall for no reason. It was set in Austraila but for some reason the number of eastern looking men was unusaully high. anyway. what was I saying, oh yeah, movies. why 21?

and anyway back to what i meant to say... yeah. I forgot.

Thats True my Friend! and I plan to drink Guninness and Bulmers for the better part of st.Paddys. Course being Irish, I dont have to go crazy.

I believe the man your think of is DuffMan.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I believe Byakko said she' s from Singapore. Yeah, I think Duffman is the another Irishman (not sure if he lives there), maybe there are a few other people. Actually one of my grandmothers is half Irish, I have roots from England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Germany. Not that it matters though, I' m still 100% Canadian.

" Hahaha, i' m an Irish Jew so i' ll be in the pub all day!"

An Irish Jew LOL, that' s hilarious! You' ll get drunk, feel guilty about it so you' ll have to drink again. A perfect circle.

Majik, you don' t have fondue' s in the UK? " Fondue" is french for " melted" . Its when you take a special pot over a short flame and heat oil. You take raw chucks of meet and cook it in the oil (It' s actually really good). You can also have a chocolate fondue which involves melted chocolate with fruits (even better). Another common kind you' ll see is with melted cheese which I never tried. It' s a not really a meal, it' s more like eating very slowly for a few hours.

Well my fathers mother is Jewish, as is my mother, but may fathers father is Irish. None are orthodox though so i' m not a practicing Jewish (i can' t help called them Jewish' s rather than Jews it' s Sacha Baron Cohen' s fault, ...and he' s Jewish too)

So yeah, an Irish Jew. Fancy that!

Hahaha, tomorrow will be spent playing pool and drinking Guinness. Another weekend in the pub, ...my girlfriend will love that...

A lot of great comedians are Jewish, Lewis Black is one of my favorites.

Age restrictions in Singapore:

16 - M16 movies (new rating, it' s stupid)
18 - Learn to drive, M18 movies (yes, there' s both a M16 AND M18 rating =/)
21 - Drink alcohol, smoke, R21 movies

Porn?

Yeah, I think Duffman is the another Irishman (not sure if he lives there)

Yep I' m a genuine Irishman, born and raised here in Ireland. I haven' t lived anywhere else but here.

YES tomorrow is Paddys day! I will also be in the pub all day drinking Guinness and Smithwicks(an Irish ale).



(I will make a thread tomorrow for Paddys day)

I' m Irish, but I' ve never been to Ireland.

It' s on my " to go" list though.

I think I' m holding a Saint Pattie' s day LAN. I already dyed my hair green for the occasion!

I thought Jewish was a religion not an ethnicity.

Nope. It' s an ethnicity.

I thought Jewish was a religion not an ethnicity.

Judaism is the religion of Jewish people. Jewish people define their idenity through their religion, but it mostly works like an ethnicity. That' s why Majik mentioned that he wasn' t an orthodox Jew. Right?

" According to traditional Jewish Law, someone is considered to be a Jew if he or she was born of a Jewish mother or converted in accord with Jewish Law. American Reform Judaism and British Liberal Judaism accept the child of one Jewish parent (father or mother) as Jewish if the parents raise the child as a Jew by Progressive standards. All mainstream forms of Judaism today are open to sincere converts." -Wikipedia

You can' t convert your ethnicity so how could you be considered a Jew if you were born black and converted to Judaism? And what the hell is with the terms " orthodox" and whatnot?

Jewish people confuse me.

I look at religions essentially as disguised empires, because that' s how they started out. It' s all about power.

Because of this, most religions resort to sleazy tactics to conserve their numbers. Look at marriage, marriage is an institution created to get a couple to stay together and keep fucking to produce the most children possible under a certain religion. In christianity babies are baptized, which is the empires way of claiming a new soldier. That' s why religions didn' t support divorce initially, they don' t want people to be single or wasting time finding another mate. It' s also why most religions don' t appreciate gays, they' re just not helping their numbers.

Look at Islam and Judaism, those two have been at war with eachother since forever. It' s not even the countries that matter, it' s the religions that are pitted against eachother. Actually I would say a lot of the worst wars we' ve seen on this planet were due to religious hatred.
I understand why it was needed back then but now religion in the majority of the world have no real power, all they bring are lies, ignorance and hatred.

-No offence to anyone here intended-

Speaking of Ireland. Isn' t tomorrow St. Patricks day?(depending on where you live)

My surname is O' Dell, but I don' t know if that' s Irish or Scottish. My brother believes it' s an English name. Whatever the case, I do like St. Patrick' s Day. Requisite green emoticon illustrating one pint too many: [:' (]

Porn?

Anything with explicit sexual content or disturbing themes; Brokeback Mountain was placed under this, but I was just happy it came to Singapore at all (Malaysia didn' t allow it). M18 covers the crude jokes and violent ones, like Scary Movie 4 and all that.

Oh, and besides sex-toy stores, I' ve never really seen any store explicitly selling porn. Most people here either go over the causeway to Johor (in Malaysia) to buy pirated DVDs, or d/l them straight =/

That' s why religions didn' t support divorce initially, they don' t want people to be single or wasting time finding another mate.

Technically, it' ll be more practical if a man had several wives/concubines like Islam allows and various traditional cultures in the past. I watched that Animal Sex documentary and it' s shown that monogamy is the most inefficient mode of reproduction, and hence nature only has a grand total of 5 species that actually practice it, including humans.

Nope. It' s an ethnicity.

David Schwimmer, Seinfield, Steven Spielburg; all Jewish and all freaking rich and famous!

Damn it' s good to be Jewish in show business...
