Good job Dom, you're an inspiration. Alot of vets in your situation give up & stay *ucked up from things like that. You're a survivor & a patriot!
Also I think it's funny as hell to see jews driving a Mercedes. The lovely SLK500, brought to you from the company that almost succeeded at wiping your race off the earth. Enjoy!Comment -
No, but I am finally on the right path.
Before I get to my current state, in the past I was a ****in train wreck. I was a heavy drinker from about 17 to 25 and when I say heavy, I'm referring to a minimum of a case of beer a day or half a handle of whiskey, tequila, or some other type of liquor. It started relatively young because I moved away from home at the age of 16; parents shipped me to Saskatchewan for hockey.
To not bore anyone and fast forward to my current state, it was not until I lost my job playing in the minors 2 years back (DUI) that I finally did the right thing and found help. I have not picked up a drink in over 2 years and have to admit that all those people that told me that life was better clean (thought they were full of shit) were actually telling the truth, its great to actually wake up in the morning and be energetic and productive. I am 27 now, single, living alone, just received my MBA in Global Management, and currently working construction.
Where I want to be: I want to someday have a family of my own, but this will not happen if I do not find a well paying job so I have the adequate funds to support them. Construction pays the bills since I live alone and do not have others to support, but someday that will all change hopefully. So to answer the question you asked, no I am not where I want to be in life but feel I am finally on the right path.
Thanks

Yes, aspiring to make a living gambling on sports always works out well doesn't it boys? Well, he is 19 after all, and as we all know, that is the pinnacle of our intellectual and emotional height. Ahhhhh.....I only wish I had engineered such a savvy game plan when I was his age. Oh, that's right I did and it almost killed me.Originally posted by wesleysnipes

i dont think anyone should be totally satisfied with where they are in life.. life is a journey, and if you dont have dreams and aspirations, then i feel like there is nothing to live for.
as for myself, im not where i want to be in life, but i can say that im happy with my life.
despite my name, im only 23, and have done pretty well for myself all things considered. i dropped outta college after two years to kind of find myself and see what i wanted to do with my life. lived in several different states with my gf of over 2 years.. shes the best does all the housework and takes care of me, puts up with all my crazy schemes and plans, loves me to death, almost scares me.. all i gotta do is treat her well, **** her good and pay for shit. started a transportation business with a friend of mine, and make good money on the side finding money where i can. I, like others on the board would like to make some good change sports betting, but i consider it more for the thrill.. im currently exploring different internet businesses and just trying to find that one thing that makes you wanna wake up in the morning and go after it ya know? ive never been the 9-5 type guy, and see myself finding a way to make money and just be able to live anywhere in the world. its just crazy though with all of the shit going on in our government, and the world in general makes it seem harder and harder to come up each day.
im making a little over 6 figures right now (but being young and a party animal helps spend a lot of that LOL) but i would like to see myself in the next 5 years finding a way to make my millions.
my biggest fear is becoming too comfortable with life and not trying to go onto bigger and better things.. i see people around me all day who have graduated college, most cant find jobs worth a shit, and the ones that have are getting underpaid and overworked, but they continue because "thats what we are supposed to do". i fear that our country has seen its best of days, and sometimes lose motivation to go out and look for better opportunities.
im glad i found this thread because honestly its something that i think about a lot, and i wonder what exactly it is that makes us happy and content? me being 23, making more money than anyone i know my age, having a girl that loves me, not a lot of debt, good friends, etc.. but im still not content? what is it that we are all looking for?Comment -
