You’re probably asking cause youre probably down. Want to share? If we all share threesomes on lamborghinis at the beach, it wont likely cheer you up much 
Hows everything going with you?

I don’t ever really get ‘down.’ I tend to bottle things up, get drunk, and then moan at my nearest and dearest. It’s an unhealthy cycle and I’m learning to break that because problems never really get solved, they get shelved further back. I’m 47 and mid life thoughts are definitely real. Time is something I consider more these days. The fleeting nature of it, how little I understand it, how I choose to spend it. These kinds of thoughts come into the station more and more often and it’s very tempting to get on those trains.
I either need more Mary Jane or less.

Ya man. Thats normal. Part of the allure of being anonymous online is you can release without worry of affecting your day to day reality. Assuming you remain anonynous. Even if not, fuck it. No shame in trying to self improve and become happier. If anything, more respect given. Let loose man. I bet most people here are mature enough to know when not to fuck around and joke and we can get serious and help out when and how we are able

That was me opening up. 
I’m learning to stop people pleasing, as the consequences of being ‘nice,’ aren’t positive ones. Change is a constant in life, I’m starting to see that. 47 years is really young in relative terms. I need to let go of a lot of the rules I made up in my head in the book, “How life should be navigated, according to superking.” I think we all have one of these books in our heads, and they are all vastly different.
NB: I don’t smoke tobacco anymore these days. I used nicotine patches to quit. I like the fact my user name reminds me of that important change in my life.

Poor bastards.
In my writing class I wrote the line, “Time is the current of creation.” Blew this one old guy away. He loved it. He met Kurt Vonnegut at a wedding in Manhattan way back when. High praise.
If the Now does not put a shit eating grin on one’s face, it ain’t the right Now.

No, REALLY let up. Jesus. This is why the internet is obscene. I’m a stranger, ergo I care. Run, super guy! Run! 
If you’re gonna be a dick, don’t make me bust out the nickleback…I’ll do it!
You wouldn’t dare.

Oh I’ve never heard any of that band’s songs, and if did I didn’t recognize them. I just read they were like the most hated band of their generation. Oh, and superguy and I are not unknown to one another.
That’s a lot of work you did for that post. I’m not sure if I should applaud you, or ask you about your need to empathize with strangers online. 
Holy crap that’s a lot. Is there a best one?
Yes
I’m that fella. Me and Mr Smith are long term buddies. Thanks for having my (Nickel) back though. Ppreciate it.

Kind of low-key impressed by your post…not because of the music, of course.
