I am probably one of the most lazy people any of you know.

Before I say anything, I want it known that I'm going to treat you roughly with the same attitude I treated Dann with. I appreciate your advice the other day and none of this post is meant to flame or hate. Now onto my reply:

DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It's you. I've known this, I've never brought it up. I've known to take promises / "I'm going to" statements that you say with hefty amounts of salt. I know all this, I've just been polite and never brought it up because I'm not your mother. Back in the middle of May or so, me and Delta had a conversation and I talked about you behind your back. To be honest, I think that's the first time I've done this. The only reason I'd show you this is that maybe it will help motivate you since I'm talking about you unrestricted and not holding back an opinion to be polite. You're a moderator and if you feel that some of it shouldn't be shown, feel free to edit it out. Enjoy:

BTW, I read the book, very nice.

I don't have the knowledge of computers that you do.

I'm not going to judge that either way because I don't know the extent of your knowledge and skill. From what I've seen though, it's above average. You've built your own computer and while that's getting easier and easier these days, you have skills that a lot of people don't. When I first moved here, I came with a computer I had built for my grandpa that died randomly and I had to bring it (mom purchased it to cover my mistake). I don't know how I figured out that it was the memory since I didn't have ANY parts let alone any that fit a new platform. It may seem like I do a LOT of work but I've only been doing stuff heavily like the last year. The last 13 months have been the only ones that I've sold computers and only 15 of them. If you have an interest in doing that at ALL, look at me. I really had remedial knowledge when I arrived in Idaho and while I don't run a multi-million dollar business, I do have random and infrequent income 4 years later. Most all of my knowledge came out of necessity for my own use and I've just applied it and learned more. I'm lazy, I have a ton of shit I need to do but I know you can if you really want to.

Kody, knock the fuck out. I am known to wear the title of being the Resident Prick, but truly, what I am is a agglutination of sarcasm, irony and bluntness.

Instead of coming out of your way and asking of people to help you motivate, why do you not stop, listen to your inner-voice and accept what he's been telling you all over the way? You may be lazy -which at any rate, is anything but laziness, but rather, a lack of trust and care for yourself- but you certainly aren't stupid. You have a healthy brain that needs be put to good usage. Let me ask you: How do you manage living without a job? Your answer is either: A) Still living with my parents  B) Family economical support. Exactement. Therein lies the first issue. You have been given the time, and provided with the circumstances to drag yourself pitifully and mindlessly. You have all conditions needed to live crawling. And then, when ever the time shows appropriate, you flash a bit of your potential -either through mental assertion or an illusive grotesque display of exuberant personality...of which you have none, to the veracity of the effect- And, Jolly Mother, do people remain surprised and everso impressed with your so en-beveled and nature-twisting character. Fuck that. You may fool those who are emotionally connected with you, but do know that such foolishness will not reach to the eyes and understanding of those who have lived and dealt with you analytically.


Yes Kody, you are unconfident.
Yes Kody, you are mistrusted by none other than yourself.
Yes Kody, you are wrongful.

No Kody, you are not lazy.
No Kody, you are not a fool.
No Kody, you are not going to win life over with such display of actions.


I do not pity you. I pity that your fabulous mind has been inevitably associated with such a poorly-executing body and soul.




That's Dann style for you.
Now get the fuck out of this board and go live life.

Spanky's book looks excellent. Thats A+ work right there.

I am working on figuring out my problems so I can fix them.

Great thing to do.

Ok Dann, if others know I am being lazy, I guess you could call it a blow to my ego and self image. If people know I am more likely to do some thing to change. Its not your feed back or praise/hate(which I appreciate) that motivates me its the thought of other people knowing some thing that I would prefer to stay hidden. Its also a daily reminder to me that this change needs to happen. And you are right I am the only one that can make this change happen. And I view this thread as one of many ways of helping me change. This thread is a support beam if you will, and when I am ready I will delete this thread when I no longer need to be reminded.
