Hey man, it could've been worse.....
Every spring we go through our worst time, what with the weather, critters & thier newborns suffering in the mud....now just doesnt seem anywhere so bad.
Yoga or medatation is way cheaper than drugs![]()

Misery loves company, fortunately I boot misery out to the cold porch! Doesn't sound like you to go complaining EJ ... so as the saying goes, accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and don't be Mr in-between!
Just wait till when things really hit rock bottom and you find yourself wishing you only had your current spate of problems!
Remember, there are people out there right now who wish they would rather be in your shoes, rather than theirs!
Now in the best of KB traditions ... HTFU!
Now go and sit down, write out a list of goals you want to accomplish and start working towards it! (time to get a part time job methinks now?)

I don't care how bad it gets...
... I can always smile to myself and remember, Someone else has got it worse.

2010 was a total crap of the year for me and now I'm at the point where I just think roll on 2011 and I am going to make it the best I can. What happened with scholarship? Perhaps there are some on here who can help you with application?
No matter how bad it gets, there's always someone worse off. Not that its much consolation.

Hey mate... yep things can get pretty crappy at times. 2010 has been the most challenging year for me ever too, and all that know me also know I haven't coped as well as I should have. But......
It's amazing what a full change in attitude can do for your both short term, and long term. What we go through shapes us all as people, and I know for a fact that I am a better and stronger person for going through each hurdle as they came up. Life is too short to dwell on things that could have been or things that aren't. To get through, take one day at a time - not the whole big picture all at once. Tackle each obstacle with a positive perspective and you'll be AMAZED at how you can turn a few things around. I have learned all of this the wrong way, by first approaching it all from the other direction. It got me no where quickly. With the help of some wonderful friends, and a loving family, they all convinced me to change my attitude and look at it with fresh perspective.
Now - I've never been so excited about my future!!! We only have one life, and damn it can be a good one.
With the scholarship - try again next year, and work harder, come from a different angle and you just never know! Go on - you can do it![]()
Go to the local ferrari dealer and have a wander. It cant not make you feel better
and yes 2010 was meh....
Losing friends, still somewhat poor, rarely get more than 5 hours sleep and always feel down.
This led to some issues that now requires a long sleeved shirt.
Trying to lose my love handles now though in attempts to better like the man in the mirror, I figured my limit was knocking on the 100kg door.
I guess I still have my bikes and my stereos.
EDIT: Dat post time!

My 2010 has been exactly what I have made it. I've screwed up a bit, lost my licence during the early stages of the year (get it back on the 10th), but, I see that anything that has gone wrong has pretty much due to me being a slack or dumb ferk.
'Tis what you make it, keep your chin high, battle on and get what you want.
I now have another bike and am looking for a nice new job in another area.
Plus my wife looks at me in the eye, things are getting better![]()
Thanks everyone for your concerns but I was just merely reflecting what happened in 2010 (the scholarship was the latest but not biggie).
Applied for a part time job for this summer (since I'm going nowhere) and yeah... hope I get it eh?
Thanks everyone, and trust me, I ain't that weak (looks at GIJOE1313)
Many lessons learn, more to come
Christchurch don't have Continental Car Service or Independent Prestiege!
And Archibalds Porsche knows my face (been there too many times).
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
