Do you ever have one of those days where you wonder what is the point of living?
Or is it just me?
all the time used2
why
I’ve been in a sh!tty-assed mood all week, and I can’t shift it. Sometimes i think I really do expect too much from life.
Yup. You just have to weather the sh*t-storm and try to make it to tomorrow. We’re here to help you do that, buddy, if you need us.
Bad day? Sorry to hear it.
I used to have more of those days, but eventually you go through so many of those days that you get iron spirit from it, and you learn to accept it as part of life.
From most of your posts, you sound like a lighthearted person, so I figure you really enjoy the good times. That’s good.
Hope things get better. And if you’re looking for a reason for living, you need look no further than the blessed oatcake, and the fact that you may never suffer the terrible fate of eating canadian pizza.
And you practice kung fu, and you don’t practice tae bo.
You need to focus on something other than your problems. A good hard workout always has the ability to change my mood for the better.

Cheers Budo. Nice to hear it.

That alone has put a smile on my face! 
I guess it’s just the fact I have exams - and Uni coming up, and the 3 million to 1 odds against me making it in the music industry. Which kind of makes me think about having to have a desk job for the rest of my life. Which I can’t even bear to think about. And the fact that its a whole THREE days 'till the next episode of Buffy. Does it get any worse 
Yeah man, everybody has days like that. I think I have some real problems with that sort of thing. I’ve been able to write some cool songs about it though. Most of them sound pretty morbed, but writting these things makes me feel much better. Unfortunatly I’ve made some pretty strong mental dependancies in my life, So when ever certain things happen I feel I have to do something to counteract it. Drinking, Partying, just getting stupid i guess. I also used to cut myself, which isn’t cool at all. But don’t worry DS, from what I’ve read from all your posts your really smart and super talented on the guitar. So yeah, everybody has bad days were life isn’t worth much, but I guess you have to do what works. Consider it a hero’s trial, something that helps you know yourself better. I like writting songs about it, maybe give it a try and you can post some of them on here? i’ve got a whole bunch. Big Truck

That’s another point - I train in my garage, and the 4ft by 3ft Bruce Lee poster I ordered STILL hasn’t arrived!

I might actually try that, that’s not a bad idea at all. All this negativity must be useful for something. Yin/Yang and al that crap.
I used to. Now I don’t.
As simple and useless as it may seem, I suggest keeping control your body’s chemistry. Try to find everything that helps fight depression and make necessary adjustments.
Just for example theres a few things in milk that helps fight depression. Stay away from caffeine.
This may or may not be any help, but when I made every small adjusment i could I stopped having those days you’ve described.
But like Budokan said, just make it to tomorrow. Tomorrow is the perfect cure for today.
Go with it, its winter. Go home after work, cook up a nice plate of pasta and vegg on the couch and watch Simpsons.
Get it out of your system. Then, wake up, realise what does any of it really matter anyway, might as well be happy and shoot for your dreams. Bad days happen, only because the problems or worries seem real at the time. A year later … what problems?
Cheers for all the advice guys. You helped me cheer myself up in a way! I just thought of the time old phrase:
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life
It’s true I suppose. I [in theory] can do what ever I want. I do have to sit an AS French resit though - so I’m off to bed! Only 9.40 but I need the sleep. A glass of milk first though… [cheers Wu Wei]
Thanks again guys. 
milk’s good
I agree about controling your body’s chemistry. Do some chi-gong, CONSERVE your energy. Maybe take some Ginseng. That thing about making in the music biz - my brother decided he wanted to be a musician at age 20, he’s talented on the guitar, but after several years, it just didn’t work out. I was always on him to get an office job, he was like “that’s not me.” Now he is a contractor for painting, setting up hair salons, etc. He makes real good money. If you’re skilled, and you have organizational ability, you can make good money in the “blue-collar” world and not have to put up with this desk crap. No manager to answer to, set your own hours (based on the Buffy Schedule) work hard, take time off, etc. I’m staying in La-la land cause I have a family to support, I need big bucks, and this is the way I’m used to doing things.
Oh, don’t go wasting a whole bunch of money on University and then not use the degree. That’s kinda wasteful. That’s why I’ll always be stuck in the “white-collar” world trying to make back the money I spent. Maybe Uni doesn’t cost you anything??

Some other thoughts and ramblings
TGIF or TGIT Thank god (or goodness) it’s today.
You only get one day per 24 hours (sounds stupid go with it right now). When that 24 hours is up, on to a new day. Being a student can be tough, boring, rushed, exciting, not so exciting, nervous, and the anticipation of what is to come is strong enough to hurt you. You may not make it in music just yet…that is OK. There are plenty of people who made it later in life. If you are 29 like me, you realize I haven’t even lived half of my life. I have a lot more to go (and I have more money than I had before).
Anyway, take anything you can from every day you have. After it is gone you have your experience and what you worked on to take with you. That is it. Live for each day, enjoy each day even if you are in a bad mood. Sometimes that is the best time to write (as already mentioned). Don’t wait till Friday to go out and live. That means you are only living 2 1/2 days (unless you start dreading at the end of Sunday) out of a 7 day week. Your time is now, and your time is also now tommorrow. TAKE IT!
Good luck, hope this is a new perspective or at least entertaining.
Peace.

Hey DelicateSound…just think of ME!! That will make you happy!!!

Well, I can’t really top wushu chic’s ability to chear, but I can put my 2 cents in.
I have four passions in life. Writing, writing music(OK, the first two are related), kung fu, and my family.
I make no money doing kung fu, and even when I teach full-time, I will not charge. Therefore, in my life, I will not make a dime doing kung fu, but it still makes my life great.
I write songs for the joy of doing it, and will probably not try to get my stuff out there, meaning I won’t make money doing it. Still, it makes my life great.
Writing, I might someday make money at, but I am deadset to only write what is worthwhile to me, and that might not be what gets bought. Therefore, I might not make money at it, but my life is still great because of it.
My family costs. A lot. Every month of every year. But I wouldn’t trade them for anything, and my life is great again for this.
I make more money now than I ever have, though I make a modest income. However, I am pretty good with money, so I know how to make it go much further, so I can continue to live and become better at my passions. I don’t give up the dreams of becoming great at my passions, I just keep in my mind that after thirty years, I will be a greater expert in them that what I pictured in my original dream, and so I’ll surpass the dream, whether I market it or not.
So good luck on surpassing your dreams.
