It's a sad thing indeed. But, can we use this as an ambition to become the "mega rich" ? I think so.
I was doing a nice 120mph (t-tops off) weave through traffic today, and, sure enough, I was happy with my car and the fun I was having, but couldn't help thinking.....people see me fly by and go "cool car!"...but they aren't going "daaaamn thats a lamborghini flying by!!".
So, is being only somewhat happy by mediocre (as i would define it) materialism a blessing by encouraging you to do more and to make more and to become more?
Is it? (for once I can't answer this question with certainty).
Sure I have a substance filled girlfriend but that doesnt make me happy enough either. 250 million plus has gotta be the ending point, where i can say, YES, I can buy anything I want and I have most certainly "made it". Everything else is just extra (woman who loves me for me etc), I got what I came for. No?
wierd thread i gues... leave that to my sunday night rantings.
Isn't this the point I tried to get into your thick skull in a previous thread? I think it was the first one about your wallet. I suggest you go re-read it.

could have been another thread?
the only thing from you in that thread I saw was "I hope you picked it up at a flea market for $5 "
I saw the title and I thought 'surely we couldn't be wrong about a 3rd person who we thought was a moron but is turning out to be ok' ....
And then I see 'My camero doesn't make me happy enough but a lamborghini would'
*shaking head*
all I can say is WOW, you are going to be disappointed LMAO
You think happiness is having people look at you and think you are cool?!
I'm sad to say, but your life lesson is going to really hurt ... you are going to fall so hard from that pedistal you have yourself on. Unfortunately for you, there is no other future ahead of you with that attitude, except a very unhappy, lonely one.

cj,
Greg Lasardo has Lamborgini and has no happiness
;-))
Happy is a state of mind, as is contentedness. Money provides comfort but has not one fucking thing to do with happiness other than as a stress reliever.

stress reliever my ass!
seeing interest rates go from 6% to .5% and decreasing your earnings 10 times IS stress
;-)))
so I guess the rancid lesson learned is that successful materialism is like the x button on a calculator.....always in need of further multiplication and never satisfied with the outcome?

well we'll see. If I drive myself crazy and jump off a bridge, at least you'll have some satisfaction.

not my point, but kinda close i guess.....no...not close.
Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

what you have not achieved is what I live to achieve. and there lies my intended satisfaction.
When I go to the casino, I love to play the slots... I know that my odds are better than blackjack, but there's something about all the wheels and the bells and the noise that sucks me into the slots....
Took a while but I finally realized that I got the same satisfaction playing and winning on the nickel slots as I di on the dollar slots..

well hold on a minute while I order a scroll that says "congratiulations on being a fucking retard!:
Pushpills, I've lived it more than you could ever even dream about - the details will be in the book
MY LIFE IN THE AUSTRALIAN PORN MAFIA
What you aim to be, I have been a part of. I've watched men who have achieved all the things you THINK you are capable of achieving spiral into a living nightmare because of the mindset 'more money and i will be happy'.
Its funny you used a Lamborghini as the example ... Serge sees why and so will many others here. You didn't choose this car because you like it, you choose it because its the most impressive to others. Why live your life trying to impress people you drive past on the freeway? Most of them will hate you because you have something they don't.
The only difference between you and Lasrado is that he actually hit $10 million ... you never will.
When I turned 25 I became so sick from the stress of trying reach material goals that I am STILL unable to live a normal life & have permanent damage I will be dealing with for the rest of my life. While you crap on about the future and shit you have no idea about, the rest of us are living LIFE - not living a movie.
Why I am wasting my breath I'll never know. I guess I hoped you could be slowed down before you crash ... but fuck ya, i hope you learn the hard way.
cj you finally make a little sense to me, I "get it" but I guess I won't be able to say for sure for 10 years or so if my logic is flawed. Probably (hence this riddiculous thread).

Incorect.
I am bored but not ignoring you. This is a next stage, when doesn't matter what you do you get no response, and we are getting there.

I like this thread.....Cj it sounds as you and i have lead a similar path...as i think many of the early webmasters in this biz have lead...
i went through 5 (yes 5) Ferrari's in 2 years just because i got tired of them...it was never enough i figured a new one every few months would would make me sleep at night...but it was not so.
fact was i was not happy with the direction this industry and myself ware heading...anything for the money....no line to big to cross as long as i got the cash......
then i woke up.
now i just dabble here and there.....do what makes me happy...and i sleep at night.....the ulcers are going away and i feel much better......alot of these guys are young and these are simply life lessons they are trying to learn....i like being able to sit back and watch.....the whole time getting a chuckle out of it and spending more time with my children,my wife and my friends all of whom i neglected for my first 6 years in this biz.....

Dear Abby, Dear Abby ...

My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren't so expensive I'd wish I were dead

We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze
With her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees
Signed Just Married
Just Married, Just Married...
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain't what you ain't
