I gotta admit, most of the time I'm pretty unhappy/depressed with life. Being on this board is somewhat therapeutic in this regard. Not to the point of clinical depression, but sometimes. And mongering most of the time makes it worse, though my sessions in SZ and HK were certainly a lot better than the ones here in the US. Not because of the great sex, but probably because the cost is more affordable in line with my income and expenses. Once in a blue moon, I do find that girl who is both gifted in bed and a good conversationalist. Unfortunately once reality sinks in that she's good at her job, I get more depressed.
Work, my kid, and on the computer for hours on end are my whole life basically. And I do plenty to fuck up in both of these arenas as well. A typical overseas Chinese parent (though I am ABC), I drive my kid nuts with his schooling AND his after-school activities (similar to my parents). He's already gotten in trouble at school for swearing and I know where that came from. I've bounced around from startup to startup like many Silicon Valley techie dreamers looking for that pot of gold, and here I am in my mid 40's back as a workabee at a large company with major title deflation. Pretty well-paid workabee but still a workabee. I go through major periods, weeks sometimes, where I don't talk to my wife at all. I haven't called anyone in my side of the family for a couple of years. Or hers for that matter. Rarely call any friends back, and that's only on IM that I talk to them. Don't believe in Facebook or Twitter or any other 2.0 medium. | |
