My job is really starting to destroy my soul. The more I see other people doing things with their lives, the more I hate that I do nothing. Really, I did about 5 hours of nothing in a 6 hour day today. In the past two days, I've done little more than read 100 pages of Moby Dick, because I felt the challenge of getting through this book would at least give me something to feel good about. Though if any of you have ever read this book, you'll know that it's even more boring than my job and the fact that a slow reader like myself can knock out 50 pages a day is an even bigger kick to the nuts to what's left of my job satisfaction and self respect, but not nearly as big a blow as if I gave up and bitched out on my own self-imposed challenge. But, I digress.
I'm young, dumb, and idealistic still, and dammit, I want to be doing something worthwhile for my time. I don't give a shit about money or careers and I sure as fuck don't want to be thinking about fancy cars and kids at this point, so I shouldn't be wasting my time on anything that can ever be described as "stable" and not "meaningful". I've got myself convinced that I actually care about getting a job that would afford me health care, but like all young and dumb folk, I don't really plan on living past 40 so let's call it what it is. I'm making excuses not to go off and join the peace corps, or go teach English in a foreign country, or start an after school program, or travel, or fly a fucking kite on an afternoon off.
Instead, I've locked myself into a job where I'm treated like shit, accountable for everything and benefit from nothing, and get paid dick to read Moby Dick. Time to move on, methinks. -

On pot, I feel like my autistic client acts. This makes me think that pot affects the same ares of the brain that causes autism. Graduate thesis anyone?
Just saw this--I read an article a few weeks ago where some parents were treating their child's autism with pot. It really does sound like a great thesis.
And my confession...after my second year in college I just got my lowest final grade (of my whole life I think), a B+. I am human now. -

Lately, LL parks have inspired me WAY more than RCT2 parks have. I now understand why the List is so LL-heavy. -

I really wonder how The List would look like nowadays if iris would make another one, with all the new work that's released after the last List..

I also wonder what recent parks would be in it. El Encierro, Belmont Shores, Zippo's and Sea World Sydney for sure. Possibly Castle Howard, Fenrir, Lenox Mall, World of Tim Burton, Snowdrift and Canthose too...
Another confession: today I felt like having H2H6 right away! I don't know what triggered it but suddenly I realised how much fun it was last year. There should definately be a H2H6 sometime. -

Would it actually be all that different? The parks on there are still easily the best. -

Hmm, I kinda agree here, we have seen a lot improvement in parkmaking during H2H5, I think that if we held another H2H this year, it would turn into a dissapointment afterwards since the skill level has less increased then last time. And with skill level, I basically mean the amount of WOW moments you had last year. -

I think there are quite a lot of parks in the list that don't belong there. The list is very biased. -

Cena I was talking about the list.
And liampie I know what you mean but I still don't think much would change. -

If you think your comments may make you look like an asshole, you're probably being one. This happens regardless of whether or not you care if you're being an asshole. So, before you hit "Add Reply", you might want to consider and reconsider if you're willing to argue with people about how much of a dick you are after making those comments. I, of all people, am not going to say "Don't be an asshole.", but if it bothers you that people think you're one, then fucking consider what you're saying and how you're saying it. Otherwise, deal with the consequences of doing so.

Yeah, maybe the accolade panel should vote on the best parks created and make a new List that way..
