Sorry, i'm just feeling emo today and i want to get this off my chest.


I think i'm seriously stuck in a state of arrested development. All i want to do is drink, listen to music and basically satisfy my most basic of needs. My girlfriend is threatening to move across the country in search of work and i'm content to let her go and move back into my parents basement. I wouldn't have even left their basement if she didn't force me to. I don't want to get married, i don't want children and i don't even really want to save for a house anymore. I'm content working a dead-end job that doesn't pay a whole lot because the work affords me the ability to waste time on the internet and listen to music all day. I'm not willing to move away to find better work, because for some reason i actually like the rut i'm stuck in here.

I know at this point in my life i'm supposed to want more, but i could really care less. I spent my last weekend camping, sitting on a beach and drinking my face off and that's honestly all i want out of life. wtf is wrong with me?

absolutely nothing.

But is it normal to go through life as an adult-infant....and be completely content with it?

I still play twister by myself, is that childish ?

Not if it's Crisco Twister....then it's just weird.

Haha, I have never played crisco twister, I use it as exercise, like yoga.

Fixed.

Oh, and add hours of NCAA Football on PS2 for me.

you're only 24 man, there is plenty of time for all that other stuff. Drink a beer, have some fun. When you're ready for the rest, it will just happen without you even noticing.

That's what i feel, but it seems like everybody else is moving faster. My girlfriend keeps dropping the marriage bomb, and all my friends seem to be moving on to bigger and better things like jobs out west and building their own houses, etc...

I went to 5 weddings last summer within a month, all friends from college. My best friend has been married for 3 years, and has a son. It seems like most of my friends are grown ups and I'm a couple of years behind.

I moved out of my parents house last fall (for the second time) and am starting to think about all of the other stuff, but it won't happen until I'm about 30.

Sometimes I think i just want to start a band ditch all my current bullshit. Trouble is i can't find anybody around here to play with that isn't already in a band.

exactly - enjoy it while you can.

eventually, you'll get bored with it and hit the quarter-life crisis...

I'll be a quarter-century man in just a few short months....i guess i've got a lot of living to do

i think we all want that kind of life. but one part of our tiny little brains says that we need to go on and hv our own life. may be intuiton/responsibility, i dont know.. i luv the life of living with my parents but i wnt something new with my girlfriend. i dont know, to build my own universe. a new part history in my life... :\

I'm totally with you guys on the friends-marriage/kids bullshit. Other than all of my close friends getting married, most of my high school friends are now doing the same. Went to a fourth of July party recently and almost all of my friends were either already married, or had kids, or were pregnant. Don't think I wasn't depressed big-time. I drank a boatload and had to take sleeping pills to get to sleep that night.

It's a crazy time the mid-twenties.

mike this thread is way better than most of the bitching emo threads. i'd say most people go through what you are feeling, don't worry about it too much.

I do feel like I want to get married and have kids. I actually can't wait for kids, I love them. But I also still feel the need to get out with my friends quite often; wings and beer, hockey games, and generally acting stupid are some of the things I'm not quite ready to give up yet.

I guess my problem is that i feel i'm coming to a sort of crossroad in my life where i'm soon going to be forced to choose between a big boy life or a regression to my teen years...and frankly i'm more comfortable with the latter and that's a bit worrisome. My girlfriend is pushing for a move across the country to find better work (and dropping marriage hints, but that's for another bitching thread) and i'm really not into it.

My girlfriend and I are in agreeance that we don't want kids, so that's a bonus i guess.

Oh, and did I add pretty much all I want to do is play golf?
