money doesn't make me happy, (nor anything else)

Quote from chewbacca:

i was once a dead broke trader struggling to make even minimum wage.....i was miserable then

i'm now making 30-60k a month and i'm even more miserable now........because the knowledge i had to gain to make this kind of money is depressing knowledge.......i would be killed if i ever spoke the truth about what i know.......its true that ignorance is bliss

so now i'm thinking maybe i should start smoking pot......maybe that'll make me happy

or maybe i should start banging hookers as a hobby.....maybe that'll make me happy

or maybe move to africa and become a pirate

what the fuck? This thought crosses my mind every day/night.

What I wanted years ago was to get to this point. Now that I'm there......it wasn't worth it.

Seriously. I love this post

I know everyone has their own opinions which is fine.....I can't speak for anyone else, but in all honesty trading has done one thing for me..........made me much more religious. It's given me more time and enthusiasm to explore/strengthen my faith.

I guess I'll just start tithing more. :confused:
 
Yes. I know how you feel. Its so stressful, I'd rather bust my ass at walmart all day packing grocery bags and running around the zamboni. What was I thinking.
 
D-Phanylalanine is a supplement, that's right, get it in a health food store, it acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, take 500 mg at night and you will wake up feeling gooooodddd... take it early every day and you will always feel gooooooddd.. perfectly legal too. I feel so damned good right now I don't see how I can ever feel bad. Screw feeling bad, I know about shit you have not come across yet likely, not bothering this dude a bit, shit happens all the time, get over it...

This stuff really works. For the past year, I had regularily been having days when I just couldn't get anything done. I would experience a difficult to explain feeling of apathy, and just sit spacing out at my screen for hours. When I would try to concentrate hard and get work done, everything I did was garbage. I just couldn't think properly when I having those days. It was as if something important in my brain just shut itself down.

This was during a time when I should have been excited about work, because I had just landed a big contract that would almost double my business's revenue, and it was this project that I was working on. My bad "down days" would happen about twice a month, and would usually last for a period of 2 or 3 days, but almost every week, I would have one mild day of these types of symptoms.

A few months back, on this board I read about D-Phanylalanine when Rearden Metal or maybe Fractals' R Us mentioned it. I started taking 500mg a day + St. Johns Wart. Within a day or 2 the "depression" lifted, and I have only had a couple of mild "down days" since. I suspect that it is mainly the D-Phanylalanine more than the St. Johns Wart the did the trick (but I am not taking any chances by stopping the St. Johns Wart, because I can't afford any down-time). The big project I was working on, is now almost complete, and we've allready recieved payment for it. I don't know if I could have done it without this stuff.
 
Quote from Pita:

seconded. You'll get so many hookers and other chicks to screw there you'll not recognize if it makes you happy before you are old. The drug part there I would skip though.

Bad Pita,
I suggested Bangkok for many spiritual retreats in temples .

Have girl cook me lunch/breakfast.
Workout for 1 hour

Go to a movie theatre @ 7PM

Sleep.
SO as you can see, the only entertainment I really had was, movies.
And of course trading.

[/size=3]Well, you have a vivid imagination, so you don't need the movies[/size]
