Yeah we're mad lucky, but this bothers me

I'm not going to mexico anytime soon.

1) If I died, I wouldn't really be thinking much of anything. Either my mind would have been flipped off like a lightswitch, like I believe, or I would be safely nestled in the arms of the baby Jesus, as others have postulated. So either way, I very much doubt I'd be moaning about my fate.
Death sucks for the people who survive it; the dead are really in no position to care.
2) If I was alive, then that would seem to indicate that my travails had not caused me to cut my throat open, or jumped off a cliff, or what-have-you. So obviously, no matter how shitty my life, I would be seeing something about life that made me prefer to experience it than to not do so.
3) If I did kill myself, see point 1.
4) You are looking at life from the individual perspective. This is fine if your goal is to say, "look at this one guy here, doesn't his life suck?" But you keep going on about the world as a whole, and life as a whole. So you might want to widen your focus to the whole of life. Captial L fuckin'-a Life.
roadtrip to california.
Screw that. I have a moral objection to any state that doesn't let you smoke on the street.

I don't so I'm going. But they can't not let you smoke on the street can they?
I mean it is hazardous to others and could lessen the quality of their lives but judging that that doesn't really matter to you,
it's fine to do that.
gotcha

listen to phil collins and nas

Re: Avatars and roadtrips
yeah it's a song I wrote entitled "for mexico",
It's about mexicans that I met and worked with, that I became friends with, that came to america illegally, for a better life but only found rascism and labor.
Beautiful.
(I'll post it if you really want to see it, but I don't want to get plagiarized so I might send it to u on email if you want it.)
I'll give you a call next weekend,*this weeekend I'll be away at my aunts crib(theyre having an anniversay.)

Yeah, if only I could find some sort of well-ventilated area in which to smoke, like... jeez, I dunno... outside.
judging that that doesn't really matter to you
Yes, I wish harm on others; you wish harm on the English language. So we'll call it even.
Anyway, I'm off to go forcibly shove puppies into the rectums of orphans. It's what I do, what with my being eeeee-vil, and all.

Generally - but my topics are longer and when I see something that interests me such as a discussion I had with holmes about information a while back.
I'm more of a lurker those days.....

People with addictions are funny. They get crazy, and want to make others do what they do.
