I'm so jealous of you guys since you're bored. Where do you work?
I wish I could be bored every once in a while.. but knowing me I'd find something to do then too *points a gun to head*

I don't have a job... It interferred to much with my school work plus I went crazy on my last job. I just work over the summers now.

Just remember cocaine is not all it's cracked up to be.

It's interesting that each generation never wants to take their elders word that drugs are bad. Just look at the history of rock. Watch your typical VH1 or Biography Channel show about the average rock band. It's like rock history repeats itself every generation.

1) Young kids form a band to rebel against their parents.
2) They play clubs, get discovered, and sign a record deal.
3) The band gets one to three hit album(s).
4) They hire a big time successful music industry manager.
5) Spend all their money on drugs, groupie sex, and fancy cars.
6) At this point the manager gets the band members to fight over which "artistic
direction" the band should take.
7) The lead singer cleans up his act and wants to sing Frank Sinatra tunes while the guitarist just wants to get drunk and play Van Halen guitar licks.
8) At this point it is discovered that while everybody is drunk the manager now owns their houses, cars, and has slept with all of the band members wives.
9) The band breaks up and only reforms after a lengthy lawsuit where the bandmembers either sue for mismangement of their money,to get the right to use their own band name back for some guy in Japan who somehow aquired the right to it buy nobody knows how, or get slapped for child support from some woman they say they only met once.
10) It takes 4 to 8 years before all band members are sober at the same instant and they have another hit restarting the cycle again.

This cycle repeats until each of the members of the band either quits music to become a real estate agent or dies - whichever comes first. There are many variations. Sometimes it involves finding out that you actually have a family that you were too drugged to remember having.

Ever watch "Bands Reunited?" It's a blast seeing these people that were on top of the world in the 80's and now sell guitars or financial securities for a living. It's so classic how many of them thought they would never speak to their band members again for some minor misunderstanding like "I would never forgive Robby since that night in Miami when he ordered our pizza with onions when he knew I hated them!"

I'm so glad I've never been that successful. Boring is good. As long as you're happy! :wub:

WWJD... it's not too bad... I firmly think Marijuana is something that you outgrow. I was 19 the last time I used it. It really should just be legalized, but with the same restrictions as alcohol.

I also outgrew it in my early 20's. I know a guy in his 50's that has used it for decades and it's caused him to waste his whole life. Ever know a guy that goes from job to job over and over and lives off the support of their wife and kids? (Even the jobs that he holds he looses because even though he knows how to do the job he just makes excuses.) Or when they get a job they seek under-employment or work "under the table" simply because they don't require a drug test? Or whose kids won't live with him because they can't stand to see him high all the time? (People's personalities often change for the worst when they are high all the time.) Or simply work a job just long enough to get unemployment and then do such a poor job that they get laid off?

Marajuana's effects are not as severe as "hard" drugs, but if a person gets fired from all their jobs becasue of it then they've got a serious problem. I say any mind altering drug can destroy your life it it is abused. And most people who are abusing it are in denial.

I know I'm going to seem like a "goody goody" (I've been called that before and I hate it), but I personally don't see how getting high, drunk, or stoned is so great. I've seen people do it and heard stories about it, but none of it makes me the least bit interested. When you get drunk you can wake up with a bad hangover throwing your guts up. You do crazy stuff that you'd never do sober and then sometimes forget about it the next day. When told what you did do, you're like "Really? I did that?" When someone cheats on their significant other they blame it on the drugs and alcohol, but rarely themselves. Sure, it may make you feel good for a while, but when you get down from the high and become sober, you're still faced with reality and most likely feel worse the day after. To me, none of that seems worth it.

But that's kind of the point, you know? I'd never do some of the things that I'm doing when I'm drunk and going out with my friends and that's why I like being drunk. You come out of your shell, you have more fun, you feel more free, you let yourself get a bit I guess "loose" with people- life is too short to take it too seriously. And people often use alcohol as an excuse to cheat ;) That doesn't mean that they necessarily forget what they've done or didn't realize what they were doing while at it :) It's just convenient. Getting sober is no fun, but if you control how much you drink then I guess a break from reality every once in a while is not so bad but while drunk you also get a different perspective on your reality ;)
And Kyle my job interfered with my school as well but I quite school ;) Now I've graduated but I'm upgrading some of my marks in night-school and online courses

Well put Angel Eyes. If there were a pill marketed that claimed to make you act stupid would you buy it? Yet, this is exactly what drugs and alcohol do. The only reason they are popular at all is becasue some people use them to forget reality for breif periods.

I went through the binge drinking in college and almost dropped out in my sophomore year. Luckily I hit bottom at an early age and moved on.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF ALCOHOLISM?

Here is a self-test to help you review the role alcohol plays in your life. These questions incorporate many
common symptoms of alcoholism . This test is intended to help you determine if you or someone you know needs to find out more about alcoholism; It is not intended to be used to establish the diagnosis of alcoholism.

1. Do you ever drink heavily when you are disappointed, under pressure or have had a quarrel with someone?
2. Can you handle more alcohol now than when you first started to drink?
3. Have you ever been unable to remember part of the previous evening, even though your friends said that you did not pass out?
4. When drinking with other people, do you try to have a few extra drinks when others won't know about?
5. Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable if alcohol is not available?
6. Do you sometimes feel a little guilty about your drinking?
7. Are you in more of a hurry to get your first drink of the day than you used to be?
8. Has a family member or close friend ever expressed concern or complained about your drinking?
9. Have you been having more memory 'blackouts' recently?
10. Do you often want to continue drinking after your friends say they've had enough?
11. Do you usually have a reason for the occasions when you drink heavily?
12. When you're sober, do you sometimes regret things you did or said while drinking?
13. Have you tried switching brands or drinks, or following different plans to control your drinking?
14. Have you sometimes failed to keep promises you.made to yourself about controlling or cutting down on your drinking?
15. Have you ever had a DWI (driving while intoxicated) or DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol) violation, or any other legal problem related to your drinking?
16. Do you try to avoid family or close friends while you are drinking?
17. Are you having more financial, work, school and/or family problems as a result of your drinking?
18. Has your physician ever advised you to cut down on your drinking?
19. Do you eat very little or irregularly during the periods when you are drinking?
20. Do you sometimes have the "shakes" in the morning and find that it helps to have a "little" drink, tranquilizer medication of some kind?
21. Have you recently noticed that you can't drink as much as you used to?
22. Do you sometimes stay drunk for several days at a time?
23. After periods of drinking do you sometimes see or hear things that aren't there?
24. Have you ever gone to anyone for, help about your drinking?
25. Do you ever feel depressed or anxious before, during or after of heavy drinking?

Any "yes" answer indicates that you may be a greater risk for alcoholism. More than one "yes" answer may indicate the presence of an alcohol-related problem or alcoholism, and the need for consultation with a alcoholism professional.

Glad to hear that you won't allow promotion of illegal drugs here, Kiera.

As far as creating a place for people to go off topic? I thought we already had a place - it's called "The New Jewel Forum." ;) And what did you expect by starting a thread called "I'm bored?" The way I see it general topics always invite diversity in conversations. If you want to limit discussion to one issue then the topic should be specific. If people start talking about drugs as a way to releive bordom and others argue that it's not a good solution then that's still on topic in my world view. Not that I'm trying to argue -- yet. ;)

I'm thinking of starting a topic called "Share Your Thoughts." Now how could there ever be an off topic post in that thread?? On the other hand, if I post a topic called "Jewel To Play Concert in Ohio." and people hijack the thread to tell us why Ashlee Simpson is the hottest woman in the world, that's another issue. That should NOT be tolerated! :P

Actually, I think that's why a lot of people out grow it. Good for you for never doing anything harmful to yourself.

Good news... I'm not an alcoholic. I usually have to prepare a good 3 days ahead of time before I have any alcohol because of some of the meds i'm on.

I wasn't aware that I was promoting illegal drugs. I merely think that one of them should be legalized. Since this is an international forum, we should accept the ways of every country and :shock: Marijuana is not illegal in the Netherlands. While on that topic does anybody find it interesting that they have fewer drug related fatalities and accidents there?

If you like it and can control yourself then I'm not going to stop you, but I was just saying that I, myself, don't find that sort of stuff appealing. I've seen too many people close to my age (I'm only 21) who screwed their lives up because of alcohol and/or drugs and I wouldn't want to go that route. 2 guys I knew have even died. One was only 16 or 17 at the time (my age at the time also) and the most recent one (it happened just a week or so ago) was only a couple years older than me. A girl I've known since 5th grade has two kids now and she gets high whenever she can. She was even on drugs while she was pregnant with both of them, and now they're smaller than what they should be. The oldest is only about 1 1/2 and the youngest is just a few days old. Yes, there are exceptions, but I'd rather not take that chance.

By the way, I don't take my life so seriously all the time. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor myself and I love having fun doing other things. Besides, I'd rather be reassured that I'll remember everything that happened and not have to take someone elses word for it. :)

Kiera you don't have to create another off-topic section. The Abyss is the off topic section. It's just hard to stay on topic with the subject, but I wish that members wouldn't spam other threads. Maybe you could delete some of the messages that are spam rather than create a spam category ;)
But as you know being "bored" often leads to drugs and alcohol ;)
Mike I'm not talking about alcoholism. I'm talking about going out with your friends and having a good time. No one's talking about drinking consistently, I'm talking about getting a drink on occasion
Don't worry I'm not an alcoholic in any shape
Tracy I didn't mean to say that you take your life too seriously, I just meant that I don't want to do everything right, I want to have fun
I can see that you know how to have fun and laugh, it reflects from how you come across as a person... and by the way I'm 21 as well
But I wasn't talking about alcoholism, I was talking about having a good time every once in a while with your friends. What do you do when your friends go to a bar, or celebrate a birthday? You never take a drink from anyone? On any occasion?
And Mike that's totally what I thought ;) Boredom leads to things like that, how appropriate for the thread!

Honestly, I don't have that many friends in real life anymore. After High School we lost contact with eachother, and even though I made a couple friends when I had a job, we weren't good enough friends to where we'd go and hangout. I have had a couple drinks before, but it wasn't nearly enough to where I got drunk and it wasn't at a bar. I guess the difference between us is that I'm used to not going out to a bar and drinking, I just think there's other fun things we could do besides going out and getting drunk. Besides, when I see people acting crazy, it really turns me off.

Of course you'd agree with Mike. Don't define spamming with a dictionary. Yes sending commercial ads is Spam, but spam is also ruining a thread with unrelated conversations
You've spammed ;) I tried to point out on the comment that was that
But do whatever you want to, it's up to you where you take the threads here
It'd just be nicer if they were cleaner

I actually don't have many people that I consider friends as well, but I guess I meant people that you hang out with. I usually go out sometimes with people that I met at a hospital where I volunteer (most of my friends are guys), but I guess I don't really consider them friends as well. I don't have many people that I consider friends
I don't mean getting drunk to a point where you can't stand anymore, but getting drunk as in letting some alcohol take effect :)
And Tracy of course there are other things that you can do to have fun. I don't have fun only in going out with people to have a drink, but I do that as well- it's just not one of the things that I knock out, it's fun sometimes
There are plenty of things that I do for fun. It just happened to be sometimes one of them
And not everyone who drinks acts crazy ;) People don't drink to act like morons they do to relax and have fun a little bit; I don't start acting crazy when I drink- I just do this to relax
Besides if you were going out with friends and they offered you a drink, even at a birthday party, wouldn't you take it?

And here we are in the abyss talking about whatever comes up, yet you say I'm spamming this forum.

Why don't you keep your personal attacks aimed at me to yourself and comment on the topic instead of worrying what I'm posting. I haven't gotten one PM from any mod saying my post in this thread is not appropriate. If anything I have held back from commenting about issues not related to the topic in many threads many times. (For example in a thread about the Pope someone brought up Terry Shiavo and I said I had an opinion about that issue, but I would not comment on it in a thread devoted to the Pope.) Many of the threads I have started have dozens of comments by other users that did not relate to the original topic and I have never complained once.

I guess I'm bored or I wouldn't comment on this at all. ;)

My post is spam as far as the topic goes but I've already adressed that, and I apologized for it. Didn't I make fun of what's happening in the thread when I addressed the alcohol topic? I've said that it doesn't have much to do with the original but hinted that "look where this thread ended up" and joked "boredom often leads to alcohol and drugs" I've replied to other people's offtopic comments- but I've mentioned that it's what I'm doing, in the first place
I wasn't the one who got the topic to where it was at that point
It's not okay for me to take a thread off topic either, but I usually don't, this time it's where the topic went as a whole and if you didn't pay attention a few mentioned that it's no longer the original but even for not being the original, I've replied not with irrelevant comments but on a subject that it has at this point. Before you mention this, this comment is off-topic as well, but if you want to address the issue lets do this once and for all, since this topic already lost any kind of direction- but I apologize to Kiera for this
I can't explain spam to you if you don't understand Mike
There's a difference between an off-topic section to the forum and spamming the threads. I guess it's up to somebody else to do that, maybe Kiera or Dave
I'm not worrying about what you are posing. Like I said, it's up to you what do you say or where do you take the threads. I'm just posting here as well and I'm a member here and it seems that many topics that get started hardly stay what they are, and you seem to be a part of that (I'm sorry, but it's true) and that's what I've tried pointing out
It'd be nice if they were cleaner
You haven't gotten your pm because some of the mods let the spam go
That's why I hinted to Kiera that she's better off taking care of some fo the spamming comments (it's not necessarily a reference to yours) than creating a separate section for that
And I'm very very thankful if you've held back from commenting in a thread on issues not related to the topic, I'm sure that everybody appreciates that, especially if it helped to keep the thread cleaner- we all need to watch out, and I'm grateful that you do
Seriously. I'm really grateful when you've held back, please don't take this as a personal attack- it's not. I really enjoy your posts, and I very much enjoy you as a poster-it just seems to be an issue on the forum altogether
Pay attention how many times some of the other guys- Kiera, David, have asked not to go off topic or not hijack the original thread
Where do you think this is coming from? :)
And I know that other threads have comments that are entirely irrelevant by other users, but like I said, this is not a personal attack- it seems to be an issue on the forum
Pay attention to what some of the others say
I'm not putting any blame on you, I'm just asking you to watch what you post
And Mike lets not start a fight. If you comment back because you're bored or if that was your way of actually taking the thread on topic then be that..
Either way I hope that we're fine with each other. Please don't take offense

Honestly, I don't have that many friends in real life anymore. After High School we lost contact with eachother, and even though I made a couple friends when I had a job, we weren't good enough friends to where we'd go and hangout. I have had a couple drinks before, but it wasn't nearly enough to where I got drunk and it wasn't at a bar. I guess the difference between us is that I'm used to not going out to a bar and drinking, I just think there's other fun things we could do besides going out and getting drunk. Besides, when I see people acting crazy, it really turns me off.
Overall though, it's your personal choice
If you don't want to be around alcohol it's up to you, especially if you've seen bad consequences to it. But it's just that it's not necessarily not okay for others to go out and have a drink with a group of trustworthy people

Yeah, I didn't mean that it's not ok for others to go out and have fun if that's what they enjoy, I was just stating my own personal preferance. People are different and I respect that, so if they like going out and can control themselves then I'm not going to stop them.

Anyway, this is all that I'm going to say now. We'll probably just keep going around in circles if we keep replying.

can i throw in another TWO cents here??????

k....if we so called....SPAMMED the board...don't u think that u posting a message saying it was spammed....IS SPAM ITSELF? b/c it certianly isn't on topic.....and at least our comments were related to lisa marie presley ( our reactions on posts are utmosted welcomed and not off topic.....NOW GET IT STRAIGHT!) otherwise i'll have to call the intrepid prez to kick your :mooner: lol....j/k.... can we quit arguing.....

ok.......u wanna know true spam....====== "something totally off topic" like..... it's a topic on Jewel's Intuition song......... and someone posts....."ohhh......my butt hurts today, i don't know why, anyone want to help?" now that my friend, is off topic.......

instead of saying spam....try to use the emoticon that's made for off topic (even though it wasn't on our part, u probably just can't read enough of it to comprehend) :offtopic:

LoL, I dont even remember what I said.... The Mods deleted it... Do you know who the Admins and Mods remind me of?? Those kids in my class who gets their heads flushed down the toilet every day after school, and theyre gonna grow up to be a police officer, principal, teacher, just to get back at their teenage bullies.

I changed my mind, the chillest person on this forum has just been changed from Michael to Kyle, just cuz he didnt get on my f****** case.

My Thoughts About Drugs:

The only reason people do drugs, and not even drugs, cause I dont consider weed a drug, COME ON, HEROIN is a drug, you have to compare apples with apples heroin is an orange, and weed is an apple. People only do drugs, well my friends only do weed is cause, when you live through the whole week with mean teachers, parents getting on your nerves, and dogs pooping in your room, you need to relax on a friday night. It makes life a little more interesting.

YOU CAN BE TWO KINDS OF STONERS (MY SIS TOUGHT ME THIS)

1. A LAZY STONER - never does his homework, doesnt do his chores, doesnt care about anything but getting stoned and fu.cked up.

2. (ME) A PRODUCTIVE STONER - I do my work, I have a 3.9 GPA, I always do my chores, work BEFORE play. Im a responsible person I have my priorities in life straight.

One thing i hate is that the adults on this forum act like the straight edge (drug free) bitches at my school. You dont know sh.it about weed so dont talk about it, and Keira thinks im promoting drugs, but im not, so stop trying to act like some hardcore mother fu.cker. :devil1: :devil1:

k....if we so called....SPAMMED the board...don't u think that u posting a message saying it was spammed....IS SPAM ITSELF?

Yes. Me posting "this is spam" is spam in itself- but I don't usually take threads off topic. I pointed it out this time in the thread with the intention of other threads not going off topic
:doh:

b/c it certianly isn't on topic.....and at least our comments were related to lisa marie presley ( our reactions on posts are utmosted welcomed and not off topic.....NOW GET IT STRAIGHT!) otherwise i'll have to call the intrepid prez to kick your :mooner: lol....j/k.... can we quit arguing...

Yes Mike. We can quite arguing. But read my other post for the response to these comments

ok.......u wanna know true spam....====== "something totally off topic" like..... it's a topic on Jewel's Intuition song......... and someone posts....."ohhh......my butt hurts today, i don't know why, anyone want to help?" now that my friend, is off topic.......

Do you have a point? ;)

instead of saying spam....try to use the emoticon that's made for off topic (even though it wasn't on our part, u probably just can't read enough of it to comprehend)

Honey read my post in the other thread as a response to this. "Spam" and the offtopic emoticon is the same thing.. but if it makes you happy for me to post :offtopic: instead of pointing things for what they are because you need someone to take it easier on you.. I could do that

Hey, I've said my peace here on this issue and have moved on for the moment...but thanks for your support Michael. ;)

Well why do you think he supports you? You are partner in crime
Lets leave this alone though right now

no problem...i just don't like it when people get mad over nothing...especially when they are being hypocritical (saying it's spam is like being spam itself...b/c saying it is OFF TOPIC)

Mike I'm not getting mad. And I'm not getting mad over nothing
You need to read over my responses. And I'm not being hypocritical
Return to my previous comment

I apologize for revisiting this but thank Mike for that ;) If he hasn't revisited the issue this response wouldn't be here
Lets keep all of the responses to the subject in the appropriate thread. And Bobby thanks a lot for taking this thread back to topic. I agree with you on some points, but I'm sure someone else will respond to that :wub:

Well in a thread like that, there is no such thing as 'off-topic'. Good idea actually. Could end up being our longest thread if enough people used it for idle conversation.

Actually, I wasn't talking about you so no need to take it personally.

Actually, it isn't an off-topic forum. It is for non Jewel related topics. There's a difference. I was thinking of something along the lines of 'The Off-Topic Thread' and you can go off with idle subjects and conversations but Mike's title suggestion sounds much better.

Yep, that's my definition also.

I disagree, that is merely going off-topic. Anyway, let's just get off the whole spamming/off-topic debate. The discussion is being continued in the 'Help, How and Rules' Forum.

Michael - stop shouting!

You need to do some growing up before you can make assumptions on people. YOu couldn't be further from the truth!

Okay.... don't all laugh at once.. but I'm a little slow sometimes. :unsure:
I pretty much figured as soon as I made that post who you were referring to.

And just so nobody worries about offending me, just know that I take almost nothing personally. I don't know if that's a strength or a weakness though.

so, as a nod to the topic line

WOW I must be bored, I just sat here and read all the posts for this line of conversation...lol, as i read i was picturing some of you as the stereotypical pit-bulls, gnashing at each other and since most everyone had a bit about the drinking and the drugs...well, i drink sometimes, usually i get too drunk, act a bit too stupid, and unfortunately (or not?) i remember all the dumb things i did while drunk. hmm, as for the pot deal, i have only been stoned once and all that amounted too was laughing hysterically then blacking out...so it didnt seem worth repeating :P :wacko: besides, i have known too many of the waste-oid stoners to make it very appealing, i think the best high in the world is getting up to the white mountains and taking that first deep breath of mountain air...or the smell of a tack room, or better yet, the smell of my baby's hair

yup i am a gushy mother, another good reason to keep away from mind altering substances

so, since Corinne and Anja really like "Mr. Fire Guy" here he is: :devil1:
(i dont think they realize he is the devil :dunno: )

and I think Ethny will side with me and choose this one: :bananarock: :silly:
