Gadzooks' Guide to Becoming an Abject Failure in Life

  1. #1

    I'm sitting at a bar, drunk on the medicine that typically renders me euphoric, care-free, and absolutely brimming with confidence and optimism.

    But, alas, I feel nothing but utter contempt for every living human occupant in this establishment, but also, and evermoreso, towards myself.

    So, if you want to end up hating life when you hit your mid 30's, adhere strictly to the following advice.

    If you'd rather thrive and prosper, well, aim for the opposite.

    1. Be a complete and total pushover. Always respond to every request, no matter how outlandish, with "yes". Drop the word "no" completely from your vocabulary. Afterall, people will like you more if you are nicer to them. Its absolutely absurd to think that they will only appreciate the favor for mere seconds, while storing somewhere permanently in their brain that you are a favor-giving machine that will never tell them "no".

    2. Develop a substance addiction. It could be the classic yet all-to-cliche alcohol, or it could be opiates or stimulants, or anything really for that matter. If you can't experience happiness without it, congratulations, you have nailed this step right here.

    3. Always strive for perfection. You really want to never feel satisfied with any of your so-called "accomplishments". Unless you are the absolute best at literally everything, you must consider yourself to be lower than shit mixed with pond scum. Pride in something you've worked long and hard at? LOL, the fuck outta here.

    4. Be as independent as you can. Never, ever allow yourself to seek out help, even if it's just someone to listen to you about your problems for a few minutes. Afterall, you are strong, not weak like those pathetic little weaklings that ask others for help when they need it. DIY? More like DEY... Do Everything Yourself. Anything short of that makes you average...

    5. Never let yourself be average. If you fall inside the meaty centre of the bell curve, you are basically worthless. Pride is only for the top 0.000001%. Now imagine being smack dab in the middle of the curve..? Fucking sepuku ASAP.

    That's about the gist of it.

    Now don't you want to grow up to be just like me?

    Turns out it's Jersey Shore night here tonight.

    Four physical altercations have broken out in under an hour so far. Two guidettes ended up brawling on the floor until bar employees physically broke it up.

    I suddenly feel like less of a failure.

    Moral of the story: seek out people who are even bigger fuck ups than yourself. They act as a reminder that things can always be worse.

    Always a positive if you develop a mental health problem along the way.

    Also get fat too.

    Even when I'm broke, if I'm in peak physical physique I can at least get laid with ease.

    But right now, I'm broke, fat, and an unemployed alcoholic.

    Zero redeeming qualities.

    I should bottle my scent and sell it as pussy repellant.

    No idea who would want to buy such a product, but I could corner the market.

    I couldn't post on here while drinking in a bar. I'm too ADHD, even in a depressing neon sign bar, I'll talk to random people and subtley make fun of them. Being alone in a bar is depressing, maybe I might post here just to give voice to the entropy.

    Much appreciated.

    I know that I fuck up at times and take responsibility for those fuck ups. Right now it just feels like I'm hitting the slump of all slumps.

    But I do know that what goes down must come back up (or something like that).

    I just feel powerless right now. But I know it's a matter of will. I have officially declared today to be my last day drinking day, and, maybe even, my last day of drinking altogether (for an extended period... Until my shit is sorted out at least).

    Tomorrow morning is day 1 of my hurdle back up the mountain.

    It will happen. There is no negotiating in that fact anymore.

    I fucking hate exercise, which is why I put it off indefinitely unless I have a SPECIFICALLY PERFECT TIME to go do it. Like rehab, or when I didn't have a job.

    You need to have important people in your life in order to be motivated to TRY, and without that a human being simply won't 99% of the time. Maslows's hierarchy is scarily accurate. If you're only on that second or third level, you're only running at about 20-45% at best.

    Quit eating bread, sugar, and most of your carbs in general. Do that for two weeks and they won't be any more than slightly appetizing.
