Your are a waste of fresh air and an epic failure as a human being. There is no way your job, ideas and interests are anything but boring trash. You are the definition of stupidity. You'll transmit your second rate values and limited outlook on life to your children, unleashing a new generation of morons into the world. Please kill yourself now, the only use the world has for you is as fertilizer. Did I mention I hate you? I hate you.

Fuuma, the 19 year old guy whos life choices are between living with his mom or becoming a hobo and Target's stockist of the month both agree with you. Impressive. I suppose someone's got to stand up for failure.

I like how you think all I do at Target is stock shelves.

I was being purposely facetious.

Maybe trying a novel perspective would benefit you. http://www.meetup.com/omahaatheists/

This is a good idea. I'm an atheist and I've gone to church with my family a number of times. In fact, I know many atheists who have been to church. It would be good if Christians would reciprocate.

Who are you to define failure anyway?


Now I have no idea why you'd be opposed to my post as I acted following the general pattern that you used in this thread; instead of contributing something that could actually help a fellow posrer by employing appropriate tone and coming up with practical suggestions I merely stroked my ego by hurling a few insults that were sure to be badly received. I also extrapolated from a post or a few posts characteristics about the poster and decided those generalisations made him (you) a loser. Seems we're in the same school of posting so you should be glad you got an ally.

(if this is directed at me)

I actually do get together with several atheist friends I have, I don't know how comfortable I'd be in that setting however. It would certainly be an exercise in conversational restraint on my part.

It's been two weeks since you started this thread. Any plans yet?

yes and no.



I am trying to develop my resume, and determine what/how many classes I need to finish up my journalism degree. I have a lot more hours than I'd thought (fairly close to 60 course hours) and still plan on enrolling no later than January 2010. A lot is hard to do until after I am married (go back to school, making employment changes etc).

Some friend suggested talking with an employment agency. I had never heard of such thing, I assumed that there were temp agencies.... but nothing around to find you full time work. So like I said I am building my resume, and trying to determine what professional skills I have. Refreshing my memory on things like excel/ ms office and some of the other 'professional' things i've been exposed to.

Its all still quite up in the air though.

Robbie, have you talked to your fiancee about this?
