Couldn't be better right now. This month alone. Trump wins POTUS. Cubs win World Series. Blackhawks are in first place in the Western Conference (NHL) Non-progressives (at least myself has a weight lifted off his chest). I got a phone upgrade to a Galaxy s7 edge + got $450 Best Buy gift card. There is a nice girl I'm going to ask out next time I see her. I haven't been this optimistic and generally positive since 2008...... Err strike that 2001, 911 changed everything. I feel great.

You know, I really appreciate that question. IM bipolar and its hard to explain, but the things that are out of my control, like world events, mess with my function. I think in black and white. Most people live in the grey so they can survive. I just cant do it. It seems that things are obvious to me that aren't that way for a lot of people. I don't make friends easily. Everybody is given the benefit of the doubt, they will eventually tick you off. I don't take any crap off anyone for the sake of a friendship or relationship. Keeping a friendship after they screw you just because you might need something from them is not a good reason to put up with crap. Thanks for the vent! Have a good one. - - - Updated - - - Love the cars. Encore.
Guess I'm alright. Just got back from a China vacation. I'm pulling off an A- in my class. I have a test this weekend that I've studied for. I had to pay the IRS $548, but that's a lot better than their first request for almost $7k. Thanksgiving is coming up. I think my roof leaks around the chimney. I'm getting my carpet cleaned... so I have to do a bunch of work to get stuff off the floor. My work is getting delayed at work because people around the world are not turning in their stuff... but I have my part done. My girlfriend is getting lots of work... but her mother has cancer. I need to get a lot of stuff done over this weekend. I'm reading a bunch of books, and I feel good about working out this morning. I often feel like there's no enough time in the day... and I'm not sure why you asked this question, but I guess this is my answer.
The Cubs won and I'm a Cubs fan. Trump won and I supported Trump since day one. I'm a Hawks fan and they have won 3 Cups in the last 7 years.. From a political perspective I'm extremely optimistic.... From a happiness perspective...... Well that is objective but I am pretty happy. I suppose I could make more money but whatever - the market is terrible and I know things will pickup eventually. Love life is good - I haven't found "the one" but.. On a happiness scale I will give myself an 8....
(*)(*)(*)(*), I forgot I already rubbed my happiness in others faces since I already responded to this thread/question... lol Hey, I'm drunk so I was probably overrating my happiness anyway.
I'm happy. My family is doing well and I make good money. I'm not looking forward to losing weight, but it's that time. I turn 50 in a couple of months and small health problems are cropping up. It's nothing that losing 50 lbs wouldn't fix.
That helps me understand my cousin. He has been married and divorced 3 times and got himself kicked out of the Air Force. He had a good sales job for a while and he eventually blew that as well. He is 49 years old and waiting tables. I've only seen his good side and he is the nicest guy in the world, but I've heard things from other family members and it get's pretty bad at times. He has earned so much in his life in relationships and jobs and he has thrown most of it away (from my perspective). I still don't understand him, but I'll be there for him when I can and be careful not to make myself vulnerable to his screw ups. Bi-polar behavior runs in his mom's family.
I've never understood how people can be married so many times. Do these people that do this not wait perhaps a few years before they think getting married is a good idea? Also, what does marrying someone prove if getting devorced is so easy? Why even bother?
I lost the family, the money, and the weight. So I can help you out on all three. Considering where I've been I'm doing well. The business is doing well again and it has been an incredible ride. This time of year is a little tough as it reminds of so much that is gone, but I've adjusted. What family is left isn't in the area and don't care to travel if I can help it. So I usually hang out with friends. I have a new gf so that will make things more fun this year. But being over 25 years older, I'm not the guy she wants to introduce to mom, so we won't be doing any family stuff together.
