think the 2 bottles of jack and a couple hookers wins out there!!!

The fixation with jack suggests that you have a jack problem.

 

You don't say where you live but just getting out for a coffee.

 

Taking a class any class.

 

Dating not bar dating with someone who can have an intelligent conversation

Physical exercise of ANY sort is the only thing that works for me. If I spend too much time sitting in front of a screen doing the armchair warrior thing, then I get into too many stupid arguments with folks here (you and I have gone around a time or two) and, honestly, what the hell good does THAT do?

 

I was lucky enough to find a part time teaching gig, and this occupies just enough of my time and energy to keep me busy, as well as losing notches off my belt.

 

How many of us open up AN, or Facebook, or name-your-poison, time and time again to see if anything new or interesting has come up, or play the same boring video games over and over? My gig has me in a happy place - but I had to get off my butt and find it. It didn't find me!

 

What's that saying they use in Thailand? Oh yeah - up to you! Get busy living or . . .

My favorite rock stars were from Rush. When they finished a gig, they would go up to their respective hotel rooms and read a book.

Compared to a tuk tuk driver are you better off?

You need to get in touch with the universe buddy, plants, sky, trees birds, fish, therein lie the answers your looking for. Be positive, be thankful.

Good one. And much better off than that uber-rich German dude found quartered x 3 and stuffed in a freezer❗

 

It's all perspective.

It's what I do when feeling flat. Compare yourself to them.

Tramdol works well.  But after a while on it.  Trying to come off and you will feel the wrath of hell. Last resort and make sure you can keep being prescribed it in your home country.  Australia stopped pescribing tramadol in most cases. 

Only have it when going out, twice a week at most, never been prescribed it, buy OTC here.

Getting drunk and having unfulfilling sex with women who are repulsed by you is How you got into the rut in the first place, ya bozo ????????

 

Boomers gonna be boomers I guess. Full on hedonism mode 100% of the time.

It is very sad to see the United States flag corrupted by rainbow colors.

Be grateful you aren't in a suitcase.

coming to mind is go to get 2 or 3 girls and a couple bottles of jack and smash them all in.

So you are a lesbian, best way out of a slump, chest out stomach in.

[Stevemercer]

Well, at least the OP got a few people talking and, just maybe, gave him a few things to think about.

 

For me, I go cycling 4 times a week, forcing myself to get up early to beat the heat. The other 3 days I can sleep in so it feels more like a holiday/rest day.

 

When I read the title of the thread, the obvious answer was to go have good sex. Maybe the sex you are having now is not so good, and just habit.

so you prefer the neo nazi ones or Trump flag???  So much for freedom and human rights eh

 

You know the gun nuts and Muh Freedum!!!    just not got pride folks......I see

Perhaps a too aggressive statement about the flag.  Let me put it more gently.  It is getting to the point where an idea is being pushed on people too much,  much like when a religious or sales  person comes knocking on your door.  They should leave when told not interested in a polite manner.  Sometimes that happens but sometimes the religious person wont leave until you agree with all they have to offer. Be gay or straight or whatever you like but part of gender such as sexuality is a private matter and should be dealt with sensitively and not paraded or used to influence. Of course there are those that have more evil reactions. Sorry for that.  A part of humanity that is here to stay it seems.

well, no. I haven't got a tuk-tuk.........

[Stargeezr]

Just remember that you are in Thailand, a tropical place where Canadians want to go to escape the cold of Winter.

  You could be in the Ukraine dodging Russian bullets. Just think positive thoughts, and lay off the booze.

My opinion, from Canada.

I can live without brotherhood, well said

Baiting by boredom.

any ideas?

Just in case you're serious, or somebody is reading this thread who genuinely is in a situation resembling the story you are telling:

 

Go for a train ride, go paragliding/parasailing/sky diving/jet skiing, learn an instrument,  learn to cook, pursue a (sensible) business idea, get involved in some kind of charitable organisation,  take a bike trip, learn a martial art, learn a language [can you speak Thai? That'd seem a sensible place to start], start a project that requires building up over time... a train set or a garden or a collection of something or other.

Read all the messages and you will understand the flow. In short its a note to extinguish a misunderstanding from another poster.

1...Exercise every day

2...Set yourself something to do every day, it may be minimal, only a few minutes, but do it. 

3...Have the JD and girls only as a reward for doing the above.

Good Luck

just fighting fire with fire as some wanna put their rights above others......as this forum proves

Such is life. I agree with you but I would say everyone, and not some, puts their rights above others at one stage or another. I am guilty of that. Don't be brought down by others is another bit of advice. Stay positive sufferers.
