The Three Rs

[Magic]

I'd like to be honest with myself and with you all here now. As much as you guys think, my character on here is not a character, it is me. I am a mess and a tragic example of a human being, with a huge ego and God complex and absolutely nothing to back it up. As you know, I made a 'commitment' which worked initially but since then I have fallen back in to a familiar pattern at the first hurdle.

I have been reading a self-help book and I've got a motto now with which to live my life by.

Reality + Responsiblity = Results.

I have a choice. I just need to realise it.

Over the next how ever many years, I have to work on 'key moments' in my life, of which there will be at least one every day. The eventual aim of this is that I create a positive reality for myself through taking responsibility for my thoughts and actions, rather than rely on automatic thinking and reactive behaviour.

I have also laid out a vision and plan for my life. Ironically I quoted Mike and the Mechanics in my commitment speech, and now the quote seems to be ringing true.

I am a begger, and I am sitting on a beach of gold. Well, now, I am going to change that so I am a king sitting on a beach of gold.

Go MJ!

inb4:

yeah but ure wife is fat lol!
yeah just commit
yeah boring go back to domestics
yeah your child hates you
yeah have you set up that secret spy cam in your office/spray tanning parlour yet?

I am no longer such a blind fool to fob such comments off, I will consider each one, and make a measured judgement on the reality of it.

[Magic]

p.s no I haven't set up the camera yet. But so damn tempted to though. Especially with the owl's pockets that have been round recently. :drool:

[Disco]

Rintegrity, Rintensity and Rintelligence?

Seriously though, a beach made of gold would be shit. Imagine the glare or trying to dig a hole. It would however confuse the fuck out of metal detector blokes so we'll call it even.

[Magic]

Did you even read my post? How arrogant of me to assume people would care. This is what I need to work on

[Pepe]

:drool:

Have you dared a small peak at least?

[Disco]

Be fair, I clearly read the bit about the beach.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Be fair, I clearly read the bit about the beach.

I wish I had just kept to that bit.

[Mazuuurk]

I don't... what the..?

[John]

I like that you acknowledge having a massive and unjustifiable ego but the conclusion you come to isn't that you need to tone that down, but that you need to become a King. Excellent work.

[Magic]

What? Of course I need to tone it down. True kings don't display egotistical behaviour. They are compassionate, understanding, realistic, powerful with conviction, have vision and are able to judge situations around them.

I could be best described at the moment as an African king.

Hoped this would be about Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo in the 2002 World Cup.

Anyway, what are the 'key moments'?

Ones that require a decision to be made. For me, key moments will be dropping all over the place. I am emotionally retarded so I'll have to think about almost everything I do. This will be extremely difficult and I'll fuck it up multiple times no doubt. I almost always react the wrong way.

[John]

This book you've bought into sounds like weapons grade horseshit.

[Lewis]

Much like with the 'anxiety' people, this sounds like another issue that, rather than having to embark upon a major personality overhaul, can be solved with with the simple application of perspective and logical thinking to everyday life.

[Magic]

This book you've bought into sounds like weapons grade horseshit.

I can understand why you think that, and perhaps you don't require the guidance I do. I was unhappy with the same mistakes, the same arguments, the same perpetual shit every single day and not having a clue how to change it. I am happy for you not to experience that.

[Magic]

Much like with the 'anxiety' people, this sounds like another issue that, rather than having to embark upon a major personality overhaul, can be solved with with the simple application of perspective and logical thinking to everyday life.

It isn't simple for me, it will require a lot of hardwork. Notice how I've used future tense.

[Lewis]

Yeah, you obviously have to learn not to lay your wife out for trivial things; but that isn't 'creating a positive reality for yourself', it's just calming down and thinking properly.

It is, the latter leads to the former.

Anxiety can't be solved by "logical thinking" because it isn't logical. "Oh, well really there's nothing to be anxious about" won't help an anxious person.

[Giggles]

Is this real or just Magic pulling the piss again?

[Lewis]

Anxiety can't be solved by "logical thinking" because it isn't logical. "Oh, well really there's nothing to be anxious about" won't help an anxious person.

They obviously approach some things logically and with a sense of perspective, otherwise they would all die of thirst stressing about contaminated water. Why not go a bit further approach the rest of your life sensibly?

[Pleb]

Is this a full blown meltdown?

[Smiffy]

[bruhnaldo]

For fuck sake.

Can I be leader of 'Team Anxiety'?

[Lewis]

You've just disqualified yourself by not shirking the responsibility and blaming your anxieties.

[Magic]

You just sound like a sociopath but it's good that you're wanting to improve yourself and change the things that cause you trouble.

You're more than capable of change if that's what you want although you may want to think twice about redirecting your life due to a simple book. You know where you go wrong, you know the things you want to change about yourself so taking responsibility is a good start.

I think we all put too much emphasis on our lives, how to change and reach optimum levels when really living is all you're supposed to do. The rest comes with experience. Fuck this relationship up, assess where it went wrong, change where you cocked up.

Ironic someone who tried to stop living multiple times is coming out with that advice. Sociopath indeed.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:(

I'd have only done a poor job anyway.

[Pepe]

Can't even manage being shit properly. :harold:

[Smiffy]

[Magic]

Can't even manage being shit properly. :harold:

Bros before mental problems? :(

[Giggles]

You should just take mental advice from Smiffy and nobody else.

For the board.

[GS]

I'd suggest burning the self-help book and getting some professional to sort you out instead.

[Dark Soldier]

You can't be a king with a glass jaw you fanny.

[Smiffy]

[Pepe]

Bros before mental problems? :(

Was talking about Mahow. You're donning it. :thbup:

[Pepe]

I sense another Smiff MELTDOWN coming.

[Giggles]

You're obsessed and it's unhealthy for you but I clearly add some purpose in your life.

Once every 140 posts which given you post on average 16 times a day means you mention me almost once a week. It's flattering but mix it up a little bit before you become too stale.

I'd say some are more bunched together than that but whatever. The irony of looking all that up and calling someone obsessed seems as lost on you as sanity is.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Giggles]

I sense another Smiff MELTDOWN coming.

I hope he searched 'smiff' for me too, just to make sure he has a proper sample.

[Smiffy]

[Magic]

All the validation I need to know I'm on the correct path. :drool:

[John]

I sense another Smiff MELTDOWN coming.

Smiff doesn't have individual meltdowns, he just exists on a sort of meltdown continuum.

Keep it up, Giggles and Smiff. The weight of your complexes combined will probably bring down the board before long.

[Giggles]

I normally ignore you because quite frankly you're just an irrelevant spec but tonight I felt the need to inform you for my own sanity (the lost one). Perhaps up your game a little, find some new material or be original?

It's not material. It's pointing out you're mad as a box of frogs because you're mad as a box of frogs. If Magic does nothing else he would do well to completely ignore anything you have to say on anything even resembling the subject.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Dark Soldier]

Smiffy is sound, helped me out depression wise many times. So worth listening to, MJ.

[Giggles]

Define mad because to me madness is being infatuated by a man you'll never meet.

John..this board was brought down a long time ago.

Infatuated? That one sums you up to a tee.
Go for a lie down. Or rock in a corner. Whatever the fuck you normally do.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is amazing.

Classic Giggles.

[Spoonsky]

I'm all behind you, Magic, but I'm not sure one slogan is enough to change anyone's life. It's good that you know that you need to make changes to yourself and not just to your marriage, but still - surely not all of the problems with your family life come from you being mental? Even if you 'fix' yourself, so to speak, will you suddenly be happy with your wife?

[Baz]

Get more medals ready, phonics.

[Spikey M]

How much is left in the TTH kitty? Is there enough to put on a fight between Giggles and Smiffy?
