Update Season IX - "CAD, Kenya, CAD, Kenya, CAD, Kenya, CAD"

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

As I've said, I have nothing to feel ashamed about.  I'm doing what I need to do to get out of that situation.  There's no harm or shame in staying in this situation for another 9 months or so while I create an opportunity to get completely off their dole as soon as I move out.  I want to be in Kansas City by June 1, 2014 and I expect to make enough money to be able to shake loose of their support completely by July 1, 2014 once I start getting paychecks under my belt.  That's what I'm working toward.  It's a little embarrassing now, but it's worth it enduring a little embarrassment now for big reward later.

The thing is, you always look at things from the short term.  It seems like it's always "another 9 months"... "another 9 months"... "another 9 months".  9 months isn't shameful.  But when it turns into 27 months or 36 months, that's when there's a problem.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

CADD is done for, folks.

Not so fast, partner!  I'm going in tomorrow even if I have to have a hearse come get me...

For a full day?

Yes, sir!

Would you be honest with us if you didn't go for a full day?  Or would you go back to lying?

I'm doing what I'm supposed to do and the time I'm supposed to do it.  No one can legitimately argue, though, that I'm doing exactly what I need to at this time to get out from under their roof.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I just realized the last post sounded very arrogant.  Let me clarify things.  I am doing what I need to get out of my parents' home.  Things are not going to come immediately, but with this CADD certificate, they will undoubtedly happen.  I know, or I'm pretty confident, that it will happen.  The thing is I cannot let the naysayers on this forum get me down.  Let them be as negative as they want, but they have no say in what goes on.

You're correct.  But in the beginning, you always do what you're supposed to do.  You just never seem to make it to the point where out get out from under the roof.  Something new comes along and you change course or you figure out that the path you're on isn't right for what you want... this has been happening for years.  I'd love to see you succeed in CAD and move out, but all this has happened before, and all this will happen again; the only ones with a plan are the frakkin toasters...

I'm not being negative; I'm being truthful.  CAD could be great for you, but you need to finish, and in order to finish, I think you need to see the big picture.  I think in the back of your mind when you draft these ideas, you think, "If it fails, I can always do X, Y, Z, A, B, F", and you just think of it as one failure and no big deal.  The problem is that this has been a pattern for years.  You need to be thinking, "I've been doing pretty much nothing productive with my life for the past 10 years.  It's time to stop being a bum and change that!"  Instead of making excuses for your past, own up to it, admit that you've been a lazy mooching person, and really want to change.

RIP CADD.  RIP, Jeff Junior.

You're not being negative, but there are several here that are.  The post wasn't directed at you necessarily.  Anyway, I know CADD will succeed, and I wish those there would give me a chance and stop shouting doom after every minor mishap.  This RIP JJ, or RIP CADD after every post of mine is getting extremely annoying.  They blamed this illness on me and have said that if I were skinny, I would not have gotten sick.  Weight doesn't determine whether one gets food poisoning.  I've also already come to the realization privately that you mentioned.  I just haven't shared it publicly too much, which is my right.  You and Polnut act like I have not owned up to my mistakes.  I have owned up to my mistakes, albeit not all publicly.

[Joe Biden 2020]

RIP CADD.  RIP, Jeff Junior.

Would you stop, please?  Seriously, there is no need to shout doom after EVERY SINGLE POST I make.  It is getting utterly annoying.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

No, you don't "know" anything about what WILL happen.  You're not God, and you're not someone who can see the future.  This is something you really have to realize, because it's one of your biggest faults that causes the most problems.

Do you actually know that it is food poisoning?  Weight doesn't lead to food poisoning, but excessively eating out for no good reason does.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

You share most of your life with the forum.  It's a fair assumption that if you haven't posted about it on the forum, it hasn't happened?  But what realization are you talking about?  There's not much that i said that matched up with anything ambiguous that you've said.  Everything that I've said has pretty much contradicted what you've said.  I never said that you don't own up to your mistakes.  Usually it takes some prodding, but eventually you do own up to them.  Then you'll usually act like you knew it was a mistake all along.  Yeah... you don't have a huge problem acknowledging your mistakes, but time after time you make the same mistakes over and over and over again, and each time you just kinda say, "Oops - I did it again!  Silly me!" and laugh it off and play it up as a dumb mistake.  But you don't learn from them.  You're not avoiding these things.

Jeff, make sure you get a good night's sleep if you're really going in tomorrow.

Good point.  As long as I can control things.  I'm in good shape.

I don't know for sure, but it's the only thing I can come up with since it has last four days, and is not severe enough to be any kind of flu, but has lasted longer than a stomach bug normally would.  By process of elimination, I'm thinking food poisoning.  Although, I don't know for sure.

It's a fair assumption, but you know what assuming does to people.  You know what realization I am talking about, your second-to-the-last post, last paragraph.  However, you call what I've done a failure.  It is anything but a failure.  A mistake is not a failure.  A failure is refusing to correct your mistakes.  I have owned up to my mistakes and at least attempted to correct them.  Failure is too strong a word.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I said own up to your past, not own up to your mistakes.  You haven't corrected much of anything.  You're still eating crappy food.  You're still not applying for jobs.  You're still not exercising.  And I don't think you really understand why you are still living in your parent's trailer.

I guess this could be a good mental exercise.  Jeff, tell the whole forum, in detail, why you are a morbidly obese man who still lives with his parents and is 100% dependent on them to support his daily activities.  And I'm not doing this to be some kind of asshole... I genuinely think that if you have to write out, in detail, why your life is the way it is, you will have a huge epiphany.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Jeff, make sure you get a good night's sleep if you're really going in tomorrow.

I plan to be in bed by 21:00-21:30 tonight to get 7 1/2 - 8 hours.

That's not going to happen, but I will say I'm working on correcting things as we speak, just don't expect change overnight.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'm really starting to feel better tonight.  I just got my shower about 45 minutes ago and I haven't had any stomach flare ups since about 15:00 or so.  I think I'm starting to finally get out from under this bug.  I've been sick for the past 96 hours, so I'm ready to get back to normal.  I should have no problem getting up right before 5:00 am and get ready for school.

bushie i dont fault you for living with your parents and receiving help from them.

i do wonder why you expect them to provide you with money for porn and fast food everyday among other things.  that is an arrogant attitude you have.

The porn subsidy has stopped in the last couple months.  On top of the bills that Mom helps with, she gives me spending money that I can do with as I please, whether that's fast food at lunch or whatever I want.

Do you like looking like a 50 year-old man?

Looking like a 50-year-old man who is probably a pedophile.

Here's a 50-year old man with a mustache:

Yes, but we're talking about a man with Bushie's fashion sense who likes to attend children's parties.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I wonder what the symbolism is with Bushie, children and pool parties?

[memphis]

This is not food poisoning.

Someone should put together a list of all the Bushie characteristics that make him look like a child molester out of context. Off the top of my head:

-Pedo moustache + glasses
-Frequently attends children's birthday parties
-Seems to hang out primarily in the pool with the children at said parties
-Often talks about "loving on kids"
-Desperately wants to get around a Kenyan adoption law meant to stop pedophiles from adopting Kenyan children

Why not?  I don't really expect change at all, because--let's face it--there hasn't been much change to the general pattern for the past few years.  Sure, the jobs change, but you don't hold down steady employment.  And the fact that you won't do my exercise leads me to believe that it IS because you are embarrassed.  I think if you had to sit down and type out why you are where you are now, you'd be embarrassed--as you should be; but at the same time, it would also force you to look at all the things you need to change in order to be successful.  You CAN be successful, Jeff; you just need to actually admit what's wrong instead of just pretending that CAD will fix everything.  If you don't fix the underlying problems, CAD won't get you any further than Rainbow, Kirby, or Dell did.

None of these factors help his image either:

- He's an unemployed 31-year-old who lives in his family's trailer.
- He's morbidly obese.
- He's not exactly a sharp dresser.
- Poor hairstyle.
- Suffers from Tourette's.
- Probably acts strangely and is easily overwhelmed in social settings with adults.
- Lives his life by coming up with new child-like fantasy goals everyday instead of dealing with reality.

Why should I be embarrassed?  The current situation is slightly embarrassing, but that doesn't mean I should be embarrassed of my entire life.  You seem to think I have very little to be proud of and a lot to be ashamed of.  That is simply not the case.  CADD is not the golden ticket, but no one can argue it is a good thing and should help things out.
