Against the grain

[HappyGilmore]

I really like Insane Clown Posse. Most of the people who I talk to hate their fan-base more than thier music, which I can understand. Most Juggalos are tools. But their raps are good.

Also, i dont understand why ANYONE would ever want to get married. No one should ever have to be chained down by another human being. I know a lot of families that have gone thru a lot of hardships because of marraige problems.

Agreed on both points.  It's not that I dislike ICP.  I just really, really, hate the little 15 year old poser kids with hoodies and hockey jerseys trying to be hardcore, going: "I'm a Juggalo, yo, don't fu*k with me."  While holding a bottle of Faygo soda.  I do like several of ICP's songs/albums.

As for marriage, well, I went on a 10 minute rant in high school about the negativeness of marriage.  I was told to 'see a counselor.'

I married my best friend 25 years ago, and she is snoozing in the next room as I type this.  She is still my best friend.

Sorry, dude, but MARRIAGE ROCKS!

All good.  To each their own.  I just always looked at it like this: you both love each other.  That's fine.  Live together, be exclusive.  But why go the extra step, buy a ring that's way above price, spend $10,000 to have dozens of people 'look at you' and make a spectacle of yourself, for any reason than a selfish desire to say "We're spiritually connected."  I know plenty of people who've gone through the whole 'marriage' thing cause they were "soulmates" only to divorce five years later.  I know plenty of other people who never bother to marry, get engaged, nothing, but they live together and have been in a steady, exclusive relationship for 20 years.

I never quite understood what the hoopla about The Lion King was.  I feel its kind of a subpar Disney film

I don't like ANY of the Disney films made in the last 30 years! ANY!

As far as "Why?" goes . . .
I am a Christian and marriage is the ordinance that God created and commanded for us.  I don't expect the world to share my belief system, but I am going to try to the best of my ability to honor it.    It doesn't have to be all expensive and fancy, but those vows do mean something, and exchanging them publicly shows the whole world you both believe they mean something.

Marriage is GOOD...to the right person. My first one was hell on wheels. My second  (to Tara Sue) was heaven. I loved her. I still do.

[Mr. DS]

I don't know if I've brought this up yet but I hate walking around without shoes, anywhere.  Unless I'm in the water or in bed for the night, I always have a pair of shoes on.  I just don't feel myself without them.  Also, if I could wear a new pair of socks every day I so would.

So, I guess you don't believe in any long-term relationships, right?  Any serious relationship ties you down, the only difference is whether they're social and emotional, or also have legal implications.

I don't believe in ANY kind of relationships, long term OR short term. I dont even want a one night stand. Now, these thing are fine for people who can HANDLE it, (besides getting married) but it's just not for me. I had a girlfriend last May, and it blew up in my face. Big time. I had a feeling it would before I got into it, but I went ahead and did it anyway, thinking with my dick instead of my brain. Since then, I've vowed to stay away from chicks for good, (unless we're just friends, which I have a few of) and always obey the golden rule: Hommies before hoes.

I've finally realised I don't like going out, having fun or making friends.

I've finally realised I don't like going out, having fun or making friends.

Me too, but only the last year or so.  I had a very busy social life, but I'm bored or annoyed by too many people these days. 
I listen to a lot of music most people I know don't want to hear.

I have all the friendship I need on this board and with my closest family/non-internet friends on Facebook.  I personally am no social butterfly outisde the internet.  I get up, go to work, leave 8 hours later and keep to myself or my family all other hours of the day.  Along those lines  I absolutely hate talking on the phone.  I find "getting together" with a bunch of people  kind of ackward.  If I go anywhere its usually me alone or with my family.  Either that or with one single good friend.  Hell,  I should be the one posting yeti pictures in another thread.

I respect that, and your views and all.  I grew up Catholic, and well, honestly, I've lost almost all faith in the church itself.  Mind you, I still hold my belief in God, but the church itself has turned me off to adhering to anything it says I "HAVE" to do.

But, there's a bit of a rebellious streak in me too.  I'm not saying people are wrong for marrying, and if it works in your favor, it's all good.  I just know plenty of people who're happier without the ring than with it.

This is where my sick personality comes out.  Generally, I loathe people, but, come Friday night/Saturday night, I'm heading out to a different setting (bar/club/bowling, etc.).  But, that's worked to my advantage to a degree.  I used to just go out with a buddy of mine I've known since 2nd grade.  Through his then girlfriend, he introduced me to a bunch of her 'girlfriends', girls she's known since 2nd grade.  Long story short, I hang out with those girls almost every weekend now, and we don't even see their friend or my friend.

Their friend ditched them when she got a new boyfriend, and my friend decided he doesn't like going out anymore.   But, one of those girls, well, apparently she has the same appreciation for low budget no name horror flicks like those old Lugosi films that I have on dvd.  We talk quite frequently.

But yeah, beyond that, I hate people.
