Christmas Alone

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Christmas Alone

Post by Optimus Prime Rib » Sat Dec 25, 2004 5:21 am

Well, its officially Christmas here. I miss Jessy and the kids. I want so badly for them to be here with me. I feel like I am worthless and lame without them. Sometimes I feel like Im not good enough of a father or husband. Maybe they dont need me. Maybe noone needs me. I dont know. Damnit I hate this ******* gaping hole I feel in my soul. Besters, Impy, Snarl.. Yall are awesome and have always been very helpful to me in times of stress. Everyone else, you rock too.. I just dont know how Im supposed to keep going when I feel like this all the time.

Im just so damn lonely here...

You find ways...little ones. Christmas is the worst time for me too. I have just started to find little things, simple pleasures to take my mind of my lonliness. Today it was my Packers beat the Vikings to win the NFC North. Doesn't sound like much, but like I said you find little things that help you deal with the feelings...then you look to the comfort of friends...such as us losers here! :)

If you want, we could argue about Tom Brady some more...that could help take your mind off things! :lol:

Hey mate, I'm without my girlfriend today as well.

The important thing to remember is that Christmas is just another day. In times of stress we can build up its importance a little bit too much.

And you're not alone, we're all here for ya. :)

Thanks everyone, I guess Im just feeling sorry for myself. Being sick isnt helping my whiny mood either. I really feel empty without them though. Thanks again mates.

I too was alone today, regardless of whether I celebrate it or not, I do have a feeling that this day is a time you should be with ppl you care about. I wonder if this would be different had I never gotten sick...

Anyway, I passed the time by watching all of my LOTR extended edition DVDs in a row. Just cuz I could, really. Any excuse to pull together some inspiration, yknow.

Here I am thinking OPR actually posted again, but no, it's another moldy old thread dug up by Preds.

I really don't MIND old threads being dug up, as long as the new post says something worthwhile and on the subject. And there's the rub.

Anyways, I think (hope) things are better. Things had gotten better between the two of them before he split the board.
