Thanks, that was a great support for me. You're one of the nicest guys on the forum

But are you implying that I am using this avatar to call attention?

I don't know why else! I liked your old avatar but I barely remember it, it was someone's face.

I agree mince wobly. Running around having a kickabout with your buds is great and even watching a match is fun I guess but professional football is just fucking BUSINESS and i'm surprised anyone can care about it. Nobody should care what neanderthal cunt got bought for 100 million or what manager got sacked because his team lost 2 games in a row. Fuck all of it.

sure who cares but watching super humanly talented people compete is great! and almost important.

sports is like war without the death

awesome

I remember it was F.A.B. doing a thumbs up

Or blinking

Odie deserves it hope he die 1000 times.

soccer info: i met jackie charlton when i was a kid and ireland was in the 1994 world cup. there was a wall near the house that had a painting of a dog in a jersey! it was all very exciting and i sort of wish i'd kept up with it. whenever people ask me if i've seen the most recent game i say no and feel like a gigantic snobby dork. heh, football? how plebian.......

this is amazing

P-burn is Vellfire's troll account!

this is no rumor

also lol soccerchats, you can follow teams without giving shits about the whole political side of things, i've been doing it *_*  mostly because i feel like since i'm JUST NOW getting into it it's too much shit for me to figure out all at once so i just ignore it

hey anybody heard of that oil rig off of louisianna near venice that burned up?

yeah we're gonna go put that bitch out

you're a hero

Hi Parker

what's up bro

isn't it sinking in water?

Yeah, I think it might be sinking now.

I heard that it might burn until they can blow the bottom out of it because it was a producing well at the time of the explosion, if we're not putting it out then we're going to have to do a salvage job on it and get whatevers left.

I thought it might have been the rig we were working on at first because before we left that job it had oil coming out of the stacks at the very top that are supposed to burn off dangerous gases and it was all leaking over the side.

fucking aa. i keep trying to buy into it and falsely remember them saying something like 'it's okay not to believe in god. the power greater than ourselves can just be other people, or moral good' but that isn't the truth...that isn't the point to their thing. it's actually discouraging but fuck that and fuck this asshole i am reading for saying things like 'we held our human intelligence as the one and all...the alpha and omega.....pretty vain of us, wasn't it?'. also saying things like 'if life was created out of nothing, then it follows that it means nothing and is leading nowhere'. that isn't what i am about at all! of course it all leads somewhere, but i have good reasons for finding the concept of a god or even a higher power at all totally useless and i'm not about to abandon them out of desperation which is essentially what they are preaching.

they say it's okay to be atheist! don't worry about it - we never believed in god either. well, until we changed our minds. then we got saved.

I am not willing or even able to give up my way of looking at life just so I can stop drinking. I don't want to, it would mean I would be somebody else and I don't want to be because I like myself apart from this one issue. I'm not saying AA meetings are a bad idea, I have only ever been to one in my entire life and it preceded one of the longest stretches of sobriety I have had. I never accepted the idea of a higher power and I never will I'd rather try on my own and fail. In fact, my only choice is to try on my own. By that I mean by my own willpower, not without the help of other people. Maybe that will be necessary, I don't know. I don't have it figured out yet, OBVIOUSLY.
