you gotta admit, we have a good life.

look at the quality of our lives and say to yourself, would i want to be anywhere else?, i wouldnt.

the sum of us all including the try hards , dweebs, wanna bes and hangers on have it pretty good.

dont know where this is going but know this, you guys have kept me from terminal shutdown sometimes.

just respecting what we have without the nuiances of drama or crap, we have it pretty good, dont you think.?

Ive helped heaps of people and expected nothing in return for the sheer fact of the excitment of the ability to make games or at least code or design stuff for many years now.

I hope you all appreciate what we have here and how fragile it all is.

end of deep rant.

i just had a moment of spiritual clarity. nothing more nothing less.
I wanted you guys to be aware of what we had and what we can achieve.
in case you missed it, the world and our moment in the universe will never happen again, cherish it, for it is gold.

Your right, instead of wishing for things to be better, we should do what we can now. We could achieve so much. Most likely all the members of this forums have an IQ above average and the will to create, so use it and stop wasting time.

The Jehova's Witness' visited you today too, eh?
I'd say depends really on what your reffering to being good.

life in general - then yeah, i've got no complaints ... even though people keep trying to kill me, i think it's the best i can hope for.
life in the forum - then i dunno, i'd say it's like a coin toss.

Ah, enjoy a nice cold one, while browsing the internet in the garden. Nice sunny day.

And, of course, the prospect of England kicking the s**t out of France this evening.

Life doesn't get any better....

Cheers

Ps. Well, obviously it does. Fill answers out on a postcard on this thread...

Indi, that was beautiful.

You speak some very true words, people need to stop worrying over every little thing or wasting their life away. IMHO you should do what you can and try and make a difference.

It is a wise man who knows he is a fool.

Personally I'm looking forward to death...an eternity of peacefulness (well until my damn boss probably tries to call me asking why I'm not at work, even if it is a weekend..srry personal rant).

hahaa sounds like the World Cup all over again. So many matches we'd just swap the other team then after half time; they decide to take a breather.
I suppose having one good half is better than being totally mullered.

It takes many to see a problem, it only takes one to solve it.
