Two steps:
1. Recognize that your excuses are all self-defeating bullshit.
2. Work up to your goal.
all right then, what's your suggestion when one has a blown out knee, ankle, and two busted shoulders from highschool football?

I'd like to recommend a course of action. first book that comes out to the general publci like this, everyone get one, and do exactly what it say DON'T do. A massive show of civil disobedience might do the trick.
There's another risk other than weather and fallin. Well, maybe related to falling. It was recently discovered in a lab that carbon nano-tubes explode when photographed. turns out some guys who had been working on them, invited a reporter to the lab, and he snapped a picture and they exploded. CNT's apparently have no good way to dissipate heat, and the heat that built up from the flash was enough to cause combustion. So, whatever ya do, don't photograph the thing!;)
Maybe if one lived in teh real world, and became active in things like sports, etc... The school experience wouldn't be so bad. I gave up gaming and instead picked upa football and spent time in the gym. Became damn good at it too. Isn't it better to experience many different sides to life as opposed to a dream life you've made up? Besides, eventually I ended up in the same crowd as some of the "jocks" and I was able to exert some influence on them not to screw with the "geeks", when they asked why, I said, that's me, only difference is I play football. And besides, once you understand them, it's alot easier for co-existence.
Role playing doesn't reaaly equate to life. you're not living in this world. You're living in a dream world. I have alot of friends who play still and I see them barely living their lives, but instead living a life which they have created in their heads. How is this any different than certain psychoses (sp?)?
Yeah, I felt the same way years ago, and then I realized how little of MY life I was actually living. I think alot of people who really enjoy it and do it all the time, should step back and experience their own life as well.
Fine, calll me a terrible person, but are you really going to sit there and tell me, that given the option of feeding your family, or providing a better way of life for someone else, that someone else comes first? bullshit! At least I'm honest w/ myself that when the shit hits the fan, I know I will look out for myself. It's called survival instinct. No one else in this world gives a damn about me, so you tell me, who is gonna watch my back? you? right....
Really, do we have a CEO appreciaton day for all their hard work?
SURE!!! well, they don't get one now, but I'll bet soon. And as part of the celebration, congress is giving them a vacation to go to DC and learn all about how the committee investigation process works!
shua they do, some beer is meant to be consumed warm, or at least at room temperature.... got to ireland and scotland sometime, admittedly their room temperature is a bit cooler than ours..
What about a beer cooled laptop? can drink it when things get bad and just get a refill at your local pub????:) oooh, imagine a beowulf cluster of those?
actually, my SUV get's pretty damn good gas mileage. That's because it's nice and old. It's odd how the car manufacturers have made the engines less efficient over time. And as a matter of fact I do take the T ona regular basis or walk to work. The car is just for getting out of the city...
gotta remember, not all Americans have the "American" mentality the rest of the world thinks we have.
I actually do alot, and I enjoy it. Im own an 89 Bronco II. Get's about 30 mpg on the highway, which I'd like to say, no freaking suv can get close to anymore, and it's respectable intown mpg as well. But no, I'm not one of these posers who requires an SUV as a status symbol. I believe in using a vehicle for it's intended purpose. I have very little paint left on the car, have broken many parts of the system, have dirt permanently lodged in many parts of the car, and have a fist sized dent in my front differential... fun, fun!:)
I did read the article. I agree they have the capabilities, but I seriously doubt they'll make anything similar to what I want/desire for a while. Besides, I'm not sure I would truist a first round of SUV style vehicles such as this. Last thing you want in the middle of nowhere is a vehicle which could break in some unforseen way and you need an electrical shop to fix it.
