...lethargy...

[brokenarrow]

...this is what I've been feeling for at least 2 - 3 weeks now.


houselights off?.....check
mic on?.....check
spotlight on?....check
hush falls over the crowd?.....check
enter stage left









I feel so unmotivated, so blah...tired, bored, restless, all at the same time.
I want to do stuff, but don't.
I have ideas, but don't see any of them through these days.
Is it the winter doldrums?
I think so,....yes my friends...I think so.






:::dramatic eh?::::


fuckin' A
I need to get some life into me!



dammit i love that size 7 font.:silly::silly::silly:

[panthergirl]

i've felt the same way lately.
melancholy, unmotivated... just when i need to be the opposite.

the economy is definitely affecting us...
family business is suffering,
and my job - loss of all benefits (we have health insurance til dec 31st)
as well as my hours literally cut in half
so i will need to get another sort of part-time or full time job.

arghhh.... sucks.


on the positive side: the best friends and family in the world :)

I am so there with you~~~ - my life has been hockey or work and it feels like nothing in between

I've been hitting the gym everyday at lunch, and that has made me feel a lot better about myself but I don't feel like we've done anything exciting lately

and I need some sunshine

I think it's the whole economy-job thing - and the hopes of a tour but knowing damn well that I may not be employed or have the money to go to shows

and the fact that the fucking 10C always gives you something like 10 days to get your shit together to order tickets and ONLY takes credit card orders - so I can't even really get excited about that - more like already in a panic that I can't go anyway

AIN'T I A TREAT~!!!!!

:)

we need some purple playground fun

where's that nipple pic!!!!

I'll even settle for butt crack garnish right now

i've wondered if the band (not just pearl jam, any band) ever considers the plight of its fans before it decides on touring? plight=out of a job, can't pay house payments, still in debt from last tour, no credit, no fun money, etc.

seems that ed and the guys would be sensitive to the financial troubles of 'biff and muffy averagefan".....their ticket prices have, for the most part, been affordable. but there's multiple shows we all want to catch, and the traveling expenses involved. seriously, how can the average fan not living on a trust fund pull it off? it's one thing to put out an album. i would think most people could scrape together $15 for a cd. but how easy will it be for fans these days to scrape up hundreds of dollars for a tour? when it comes down to paying the bills or going on tour with the band....which do you choose? and, seriously, how much farther in debt are you willing to go, just for a concert or two? venues all over are reporting sales for sporting events and other shows are down. should PJ tour, how will sales be affected? i know it's mostly the machine that pretty much forces a band to tour - the greed and desire to make cheddar. my theory that PJ would, perhaps, not tour to save us all a little money is bullshit, i know. whatevs, i guess. the band's got their own bills to pay.....

lethargic=me=doing my taxes.
we owe over $2k....just like every year. and i knew it was gonna happen, the having to pay...it's just irritating to write that check. *heavysigh*

thanks, lastnight was really fun...i think we both needed it...getting away from the rush...relaxing...

I LOVE that!! 5 seconds of blissful drama! That's exactly what I feel like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:silly::silly::silly::silly:

you have me laughing here in my dining room!



so i guess the blah's aren't hitting just me huh? i feel a bit stressed out because of the economy, everything is so dooms day. They're cutting a woman's secretarial position from our dept. I won't lose my job but there is a very good chance she will 'bump' me out my position as she has seniority over me. I don't know where I'm going to go if she does that and unfortunately, we won't find anything out until like....friggen' June! We've already known for over a month now it's going to happen. I don't want to leave my dept., I like my job and am really pretty happy there!

If pj tours this summer, I'll do the usual and only limit myself to 1 or 2 shows. and they'll have to be local, Philly or NY. More than a tour, I really need new music from them...it's time for some new tunes to keep me happy! ::::so selfish::: HA!

Like you share, the daily routine has been getting to me. I need to mix it up a bit but don't know what to do. I mean, like I said, I have ideas floating around but just don't feel like doing much and carrying anything through.

Pgirl, you're covered until Dec 31st this year right? So stressful. This country needs a socialized medical program like the rest of the world so rudimentary things like health care aren't a burden. dammit that gets me mad.


now, i'm off to find the nipple shot for share. and if I can't find it like the last time, I know GroovN can! ;)

So far, the only economic impact has been that I am currently forbidden from overtime. We havent had pay cuts YET, but it will be interesting to see what happens in May- when we usually have reviews and pay increases. We used to get free insurance, but now we are paying $50 a month which is a steal compared to what my friends are paying- so I am fortunate in that respect.

I am also feeling blah in general. The daily pattern is monotonous and boring. I am constantly obsessing on future plans as a way to get through. The current obsession is on finding the right condo rental for the birthday trip in July.

I am also torn between the desire to pay off my credit cards this year and to use the money for fun stuff.

Yes times are tuff and It's easy to be overwhelmed by our current surroundings both economiclly and socially.The last thing I want to do is dismiss anyone's feelings of lethargy and arghhh.
But I must say that I'm pretty happy. I'm in love with my wife and I'm pretty sure she loves me too (maybe). I have two great kids that I couldn't be prouder of. I'm real lucky to have a close knit family that i love and love me back. I have lots of people in my life that I call friends (lots of them) and I feel lucky to be a part of their lives.
Money, I'd like more but I've also had less. How much less is something I don't want to test. I'm not afraid to work so if the shit hits the fan I'll do whatever it takes. Things could be better but I'm sure they could be a whole lot worse.
Being happy and energetic seems a lot harder these days but I'm trying to stay upbeat and move forward.
Be happy for what you have for what you've seen and from where we've come from. Tell the people you love that you love them. Hug and kiss them. It feels great when they say it back.
I know this started as a lethargy thread but I wanted to put a different spin on it.

BE HAPPY, smile, laugh, love and live.. and say...

You know what? You're absolutely right. I'll pull myself out of numbness and try to get motivated again. I'm lucky too, lucky in that my daughter celebrated her 20th birthday last Thursday, my son will be celebrating his 18th tomorrow. I'm so fortunate and blessed to even have them in the first place, remembering that in itself is putting spring back in my step. And that hub of mine is pretty cool too, I'm lucky to be married to my best friend!
thanks for putting the different spin on it javy! you are insightful



IT'S OK..
