To all those above.....
Never put full trust in someone ( no offense to those already married or in a serious relationship) but it only takes one slip for everything else to fail. Point being...always pay attention to your surroundings and the "signs"

Just have fun and see where shyt goes...been enjoying myself the last few months actually....I was stuck with the "husband" since I was 18. Doing things now I never had the chance to

It's all new and exciting, kinda

Exactly. Never give anyone anything you aren't just fine without, because without fail you will be fleeced.

Polite to everyone, nice to a select few, trusting of none.

I have never regretted my life philosophy.

I have watched couples with 4 decades of marriage behind them just walk away from each other before. All that "We've been happily married for 20 years!" stuff just makes me smile. Of course, I don't dog on married people, just like I don't dog on people who gamble. Everyone has something they enjoy that is hazardous to their health. So I politely smile and hope things go well.

Agreed.
Give me my Coronas, Bacardi Razz and pack or Newports...and my dogs and I'm a happy little camper LOL

But seriously tho... people change their minds every day about something. Always be careful in choices and try to make the right ones. Other than that..live life to the fullest. Never know what life'll bring tomorrow

No offense, but if you trust no one, then you'll never experience true friendship. Not in the "hey let's hang out" sense, but in the sense of having someone to rely on, even when the rest of the world thinks you're sh*t.

I've got a few friends like this, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I'd also never betray their trust intentionally.

It's incredible to have people who will be there for you like that, and if you open yourself up to no one, you will never have that, or at least you'll take it for granted.

True, you're less likely to be hurt or betrayed if you keep everyone at a distance. But I wouldn't want to go through life like that. It's your philosophy, and if it suits you, then I'm happy for you. But it won't suit everyone. I wouldn't want to live my life like that. Not saying my way is better, just different.

. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. The pragmatism of, "I'll go it alone" sounds fine, but in practice, won't work for most. Without trust, you will limited in life. Mountain climbing, camping, hunting are safer with a buddy. Even hold the ladder requires trust.

Keeping your finances separate, as above, is excellent advise.

tsolin01 · 03-03-2011, 09:41 AM

It's like that movie, Whatever Works lol In the end, as long as you're happy with how you live your life, then that's all that matters. Life is too short to waste it on people that don't deserve your time and also on cars that suck lol

I'm the kind of person that values friendship and I think having a partner in life that you trust and that deep down truly cares about you is better than being alone. That may be tough to find these days but I think it's out there. Even then I think you always need to have an exit strategy in case things don't work out as planned.

One thing's for sure, no one's ever going to take away my car lol Eff that

Did the love thing when I was younger and dumber, back in highschool and early on in college. Got it out of my system and ready to get down to the business of being successful.

I mean fully trust. I trust people to different degrees.

I have some very good, very close friends, for example, but I wouldn't trust ANY of them to drive my car. However, I have no problem handing them a firearm at the range. I know you may think that is backwards, but I trust that they are not prone to shooting me as much as they are prone to giving the car a little gas in a corner when noone is around if I let them borrow it. They are all good people, but sometimes temptation and all that...

Im 31...
and I was doing pretty good at 22, I was actually making about 45k a year... and cost of living was low where I was..

I am more accomplished NOW in the sense that Im doing something I am proud of, and enjoy. oh, and I have a Nismo lol

:edit: it's not about being less accomplished, its more about being less responsible... maybe... I had less worries back then..

I understand the less worries part. Sortof. However, when I was 22 I was broke, in college, and worried about how I was going to make rent. So we were in 2 different places.

When I am 31, I hope to have purchased or built a home, and found a place I want to settle down, and be about my business. Right now I live comfortably and want for nothing, but I don't have a home. I live in an appartment in a town I hate, but ironically work at a place I totally love and have an awesome boss. That really frustrates me to no end. I want a good environment AND a good work place.

That just about matches my life atm...

I want a house, but I don't want a house in this town... Minot would actually be alright if it wasn't for the -60 degree winters

Funny thing is I think you are right where you need to be in life - I am a firm believer in loving what you do and who you work with because to me (and maybe this isn't true about everyone) you spend half your life at work. Just think, you sleep for 8 hours and that leaves 8 for work and 8 for play.

Some day all of it will come together for you and you'll be happy at work and have a great place to come home to. Oh, and you left out the part where you enjoy driving your Z from work to your apartment (that's part of the 8 for play).
