I'm contemplating taking a break from GT5/gaming for a few weeks, I remember going through the same "thing" last year when I was playing Forza. My current lifestyle isn't allowing me to live to my full potential. Not trying to get too philisophical or anything but I feel like starting over my life. I don't want to be a 30 year old burn out whose favorite hobbies are sitting around poking smot and playing video games. I'm 24 so that may become a reality in the not too distant future.
I think it would be cool to start having the means to drift in real life, and to be clear eyed and completely aware in the process. I was reading through some interesting things earlier and I found this little quote from an anonymous source quite profound.
"It's never too late to start having real, tangible happiness in our lives, not just imagined contentment between our ears."
If I take a leave of abscense Fadam would lead things and Pwner will help co-lead. We might have to change topic starters as well if I'm not able to get on and update. I feel that if I access this forum I'll want to play GT5, which in turn makes me want to burn some green, i.e. money. Sorry for the ramble but I needed to get a few of my thoughts down, can't really talk to any of my real life friends as all of them are gamer-toker rejects, yet again, all of us here are... eh, nevermind.

I hear you Cro.. and I would be happy to help wherever I can. I may not be able to get on everyday, but I get on whenever possible. And I'll be right there with you Cro, I've been thinking about quitting or atleast stopping with the smot poking myself for awhile. $60+ a week is unnecessary, plus another $60 for cigs even. Having "responsibilities" sucks.. but you gotta do it to keep your sanity... for me atleast. If you need anything Cro, hit me up dawwwwwwg. Good luck with the RL drifting. I wish I could. Maybe in about 18 years. haha

I'm sure your family wouldn't have a problem with you putting $120 a week towards a passion that doesn't involve inhaling things.
I don't know, I thought that the smot was what was keeping me sane, but maybe it was the vicious cycle of smoke, rinse, repeat that was what was making me crazy all along.
Well, I'll stop now for the thread's ontopicness, but don't be surprised if I contact you via PM or something Jeremy, my "friends" in real life are jokes. Hell, I may even stop being antisocial and use facebook again, hah, now that's a scary thought. Replacing one addiction with another.
Edit: I guess its safe to say I have an addictive personality, which is why I would/am changing some things. I already got day 1 out of the way, 2 and 3 are way worse. I have vivid dreams on a nightly basis and they're suppose to get a lot more nightmarish and intense, oh joy.
Edit2: Hopefully you can find this as beneficial as I did, and yes, I read through all seven pages and its good to see I'm not alone. Link -- http://www.steadyhealth.com/Recomme...hat_symptoms_to_watch_for_t136761.html?page=2

Facebook. The #1 tool used by pedos and creepers.
Edit: I watched THE worst movie ever made tonight, let alone the worst car movir ever. Its on Netflix and its called "200 MPH" and it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Don't let the trailer fool you, its much, much, muuuuuuuch worse, notice the 1985 CGI graphics. They go from real life footage to windows clip art because apparently their budget won't cover closing down streets to shoot, so you can forget about wrecking cars. I'm telling you, you HAVE to watch it.

Edit2: Here is a movie review from a random on IMDB just so you can get an idea, these ARE NOT my words.
"1/10 | cursealoud | 5 Jun 2011
Questions:
1.Since when does someone keep a car that was carrying drugs and seized by police?
2.When did they make a Skyline with the steering wheel on the Left?
3.When did a RX7 turn into a 240sx?
4.When did a MX5 turn into a RX7?
5.When did a stock Nissan 350zx cost $80K?
6.When did a Skyline have the same specs as a Nissan 350zx?
7.When did a LA Helicopter fly through a tunnel and race car crashes become CG?
8.So his mom and his GF were strippers that worked at the same club? Great family values
9.So his mom asked her boss to tell the drug dealer to stop coming in there and spending thousands of dollars because he was in race car accident w/ her son?
10.When did the drug deal(Casey) kill the brother? I might have missed that while I was laughing through the movie. I only saw the brother lose control of his 35K 350zx(not 80K)and crash, so how was he killed by the drug dealer?
11.How many times are they going to show the same drift scene with a 200sx that was never mentioned.
12.Who drew those 3rd grade drawings?
13.When the doctor comes out and says they had to remove her spleen...why did they ask if she was gonna live? I thought a 5th grade knew that you can live without your spleen and tonsils.
In the beginning the mechanic(Kelly) lifted his hood and said "you messed with the timing." How did she know that by popping the hood? Secondly, she adjusted the timing in 2 seconds on a rotary engine...how is that possible?
His GF wrecks her motorcycle after being chased and runs a marathon as if she never crashed her bike. There's no rips in her jeans or leather coat. Just as perfect as it was when she left the club. Then she kicks and knocks down this muscular dealer as if he weighs 150lbs. After the whole ordeal...he still wants his lap dance and she gives it to him(WTF). Then she hits him again as if this is something new.
All I can say is fire the guy that green lit this movie."

I'm with you there, Cro. I need to sort alot of stuff out, like getting a job, a place of my own ect instead of playing computer games all the time. Yea it's fun, but I'd much rather have the money to build a real drift car. You know you can PM me aswell if you need to talk.

I'm glad that you decided to change some things in your life Cro, in the end you will be much more happy then you are now, I used to do the same things day upon day upon day. I loved it but it was also ruining my life at the same time, hence why I've been on probation for the last 4 years, it sucks. In the long run you will have a whole different perspective on things, and when I went through this whole process I also grew up and matured, I may seem like I still act like a kid sometimes, but who doesnt.
I'm so glad that I changed my ways, I bettered my life more then I could have when I was "under the influence". I had to make all new friends because like you said, all of your friends now are "idiots" lol. Mine were the same way, it was hard for me to do because this is when I was younger and I've known these kids my WHOLE life, and I didn't know anything different.
I just secluded myself from them, and instead of doing what I normally did, I did other things, this is when I was doing engine swaps in the driveway to pass my time, I started doing them when I was 16, yes it may not have been hard, but it got me away from everything that was ruining my life, in the end, I hope everything works out for you Cro & you know I love you hahahahaha.

Talking to you about it makes most sense.
After a bit of talking, searching, self-reflection and common sense I found out yesterday that the large majority of who I thought were my greatest friends in real life are a bunch of dysfunctional burn out F ups with criminal records and failed attempts at life, so I need to distance myself from them in order to better myself.
It was at this point that I realized I was alone. I could talk to my parents, relatives, sure, which is who I should be concerned with talking to in the first place but believe me, they don't want or need to hear about my "problems", I don't know. Pretty sad that I've found I don't have real friends I can count on in the real world. Very, very sad, but I guess its my fault anyways.
Sorry for another offtopic rant.
A quote from a documentary I was watching last night, I forget the source:
"The day I became a man is the day I stopped doing childish things."

To be honest, Cro. I only have 1 or 2 "true" friends I can rely on, the rest I just class as people I associate with from time to time. But yea, you know you can get at me any time, you got me on facebook, xbl, psn ect just get at me if you need to talk or anything man.

Yeah Cro good luck mate! As started I have few friends my best I have to often go weeks without seeing, others, as faddam said is more associates/acquaintances/people I want to spend a few mins talking to. PAst few weeks I've been spending less time on the ps3 new job,and other things on my mind have been leaving me hardly any time to drift
Take it easy and I'm always on emAil etc!
