It's been a long fucking time since I've been around, so I thought I'd take a peek at ubersite.
I'm enjoying the True stories bandwagon.
1. When I was little, my father used to fight with my mother incessantly. He would use pornography as a reward if I did what I was told. Doing what I was told generally consisted of doing the opposite of what my mother said or wanted. This always ended well with my parents, especially the fucked up effects that pornography has on a 6 year old.
2. I have had to attend drug and alcohol counseling in my freshman year for smoking pot, amongst other things. During this time, I met one of the funniest guys ever, Shane. In my senior year of highschool I met shane again. It took me several weeks to place the face, but once I did we both totally remembered talking about smoking hash and really good weed. In 20bag denominations, I probably sold him about a half-ounce my senior year.
3. I have become hopelessly and utterly addicted to the show House M.D.. When I watched the episode where wilson (House's best friend)'s wife dies, I cried. I've never cried before when watching a TV show. When House said in his coma that he wanted to stay there because 'it doesn't hurt here,' I knew exactly what he meant. I hurt so much, and I can't ever admit it for more than a moment.
4. My most recent ex I loved immensely, but never wanted to have sex with her. I don't know what it was, she was cute, sexy, and we had tons of chemistry, but I always felt wrong or dirty whenever she and sex came into the same picture. She was far from a perfect angel, but I could never will myself to have sex. I don't know how we made it as long as we did.
5. Not a day goes by that I don't think of shooting myself in the head.
6. On several occaisions I was paid to be weight in several highly illegal gun deals. When going through the manhattan projects, there was nobody in sight. I come to find out later that everyone thought I was a federal agent. The deals went off without a hitch, however two of the guys got caught. The others now think I actually AM a federal agent.
7. Once when I was 13 I was at my Grandparent's house. My grandfather let he use his .22 around the property they had. I practiced shooting at birds, but never hit one. One day without trying I pulled an off-the-hip shot and killed a mother bird. Until then I had never felt more guilty in my life.
8. Once while talking to sideburns on AIM, he received many stalker-esque text messages on his phone. I was there the entire time as he told me what was happening. To this day he still has no idea who it was or how they knew what they did.
9. I miss the shit out of Fat Tony.
10. I got two tattoos, both with positive messages that I believe, quote, and hold very dear to me. I completely regret them, not their message but their permanence. It depresses me immensely some days, while others I'm glad they have them. I honestly have no idea how to feel.
11. One time, I found this ba

Still no idea. It was just freaky.
When I stood up to look outside of my window, then receive a text that says "Sit down, don't try to look for me. Why so anxious?"..... that'll freak you out.

How long you staying in the job?

We get alot of that. Our shop is totally different, everything is cleaned, tested, and ready to use. We have a clean atmosphere that is open, and me and my boss are friendly as hell. We don't pressure sales, and everything is fair and balanced. All pawn shops have a bad stigma, but we're looking to change it.
I've been here about 8 months, and I plan to stay for awhile. I'm actually moving into the ghetto in a few days, where the building is. It's the industrial ghetto which is bordering the actual ghetto, but the ghetto nonetheless. It'll build character, and like I said I plan to stay for awhile yet.
And shadow..thank you very much. Some of the wisest words possible. Seriously.

Just to clarify though, #5 is more in regards to feeling like a complete failure everyday. I'm a business apprentice at a pawn shop, and It's hard as shit sometimes.

I had a revelation while contemplating the as yet unproven but very likely existence of Black Holes; There is no permanence.
Death is inevitable. It does not matter what you think, do, or create, it will eventually be broken back down into meaningless molecules. The only thing you have is your Time, appreciated through your consciousness. The only thing you can do is enjoy the time you have. Stuff is worthless. Money is worthless. The moment you are living in right now is all you might ever get.
Now, you can end it. Easily, in fact, but you shouldn't; because every moment you have is a chance to turn the tables. You can do anything if you want it badly enough, but you have to believe that you DESERVE it too. I've known men without a penny to their name who smiled and never felt as though they were at a loss. I've also known men who seem to have it all, but it meant nothing because they hated themselves. You say you feel like a failure? Well, I understand that; but you're probably not. You're probably a pretty decent human and life would probably be a lot nicer to you if you could just acknowledge that. Approach the world like a failure and the world will treat you like one; approach the world with a sense of worth and people will see it.
Two cents, for what it's worth.

therej's no need to shoot yourself - feeling bad about shooting the mommy bird means you are not a bad egg

Well, if 5 is true, there's a couple of numbers you could call and I would recommend NOT buying a gun anytime soon. But seriously, it's pretty much never going to be worth it to kill yourself unless you have super-cancer and no relatives depending on you. Suicide is cowardly, by and large. Fag-enabler.

I did the same thing on an episode of ER where the dude didnn't want to call his son and let him know what was happening to him. I don't know if I was crying because my dad acted tough when he was dying of a heart attack and told me that it was all ok, or just the loss.
The episode wasn't even that sad, but I was bawling my ass off
