what was the best age for you?
was being 7 the best? or was it 18?

i like 16 right now, but i think about when i was 7, and i was a bitch to people.

24 was pretty sweet.

20 was pretty good. I'm hoping that 22 will be ok as well. Then I can forget about this write-off of a year.

Honestly, the last few years of my life have been amazing and for the most part, blessed. I have few complaints. But part of me misses the weird and wacky days between ages 18 and 22. *nod*

none so far had bad shit happen all my life

none so far had bad shit happen all my life

But you know sometimes-sometimes in your life, shit just happens, you know? You know it does. I mean, you're just going along, living your own life, living in your house, just minding your own business, suddenly, KAPOW! Your whole life explodes. Just like in -uh, Well, but then, what are you gonna do? You gonna give up? You gonna just call it a day? No. No, no, that's not what we do. No, we rally. We-we turn it all around. Because we're Americans. We take those grenades and we turn 'em into lemonade. Because that's what distinuighes us from sand crabs. We keep going.Cheer up.

I like 12.

3. Blissful ignorance. From 11 till now has been more downs than ups.

18 was pretty good. i had a great time yesterday and i actually said to one of my friends it was just like when we were 18, spending the whole day together, getting drunk on the beach then going to the pub and just not worrying about anything cuz we didn't have anything to worry about. or at least i'd temporarily forgotten all the things i have to worry about. 22 ain't great for me.

I got more pussy as a newborn. And I got more tits and ass as an infant.

From then on it went downhill, man.

Um...4. Everything from there was downhill.

Why the :mad: smiley in the title? Is it because you have experienced emotional trauma and wish to vent your anger here? Or is it because you happen to remember a number of vile events that happened when you were 8 years old? Eh?

Cheer up.
have a bit but i don't smile no more after losing two people in my family in one year

My best age? 6. It was before I moved to North Carolina.

Don't know. After all, shit happens.

I'm liking this year quite a bit, although last year owns it hands down.

I'm liking 15 quite a bit, and 14 wasn't too awfully bad. But 6 still wins. :)

I like 12.

That was such a screwed-up age for me. 13 is the best, but even then, it's got its bumps.

I'm liking seventeen a lot at this point, although last year was quite a good one, too.

Fourteen and fifteen were not so good, but it was more being an angsty teenager than anything else tbh.

You have access to a computer and if you're in that economic level, you probably have a roof over your head and food in your belly. Don't be such a fucking ingrate. You're better off than more than half the people in the world. Get some perspective on life.

Chill with the Marxist self-righteous "plight of the prole" rhetoric.

There is nothing about the fact that some people ALWAYS have things worse economically or physically than you that means people can't have "bad things" happen to them. Your problem seems to be here assuming that the only people capable or "worthy" of feeling down, depressed, traumatized are those without computers, or without a twentieth century American material background - and then you get this haughty, "don't be a fucking ingrate" accusations to boot.

Yes, one might be better off than a lot of people.

No, this doesn't make your kind of flamy venting acceptable.

If you know, when you wake up in the morning, that you're going to get at least two full meals that day, then you have a pretty decent life compared to most people on this planet. That's just simple fact. So acknowledge that. I'm not saying bad shit can't happen, or even that lots of people may have it better than you. Lots of people have it better than me, and I don't begrudge them that (unless they bitch about how shitty their lives are). But I never forget that my life is as good as it is largely because I was lucky enough to be born where I was, something I had fuck-all to do with.

17 is good right now. 14 is probably in second place. :)

Marxist? get a grip, dude. All I'm saying is that the kid needs some fucking perspective

A Marxist perspective. "You have no right to complain, you borgeouise scum, for lo, the proletariat slaveth!"

That's essentially what you're saying, and it really doesn't help at all. YOUR MOM DIES. "Well get some perspective, at least you have running water!" Someone says shit like that to me I about a death in the family and I punch them.

That's just simple fact. So acknowledge that.

Nonsense. Happiness, mental health, disorder, unhappiness, none of those things are directly correlated to GDP as you seem to be implying. Not even a diehard capitalist like me is going to suggest something that dumb. In fact, those who live in the West tend to have vastly higher rates of depression and suicide. So maybe, just maybe, it's you who needs some perspective.

But I never forget that my life is as good as it is largely because I was lucky enough to be born where I was, something I had fuck-all to do with.

Good for you. Irrelevant to you being an ass to people for no reason at all.

Anything 10 and under.

I'd say 13 that funny time before NSG when I got myself banned from the school council for being a little "crazy", went out with a 15 year old (my biggest achievement) and still managed to find myself being drooled over by the girls at school

course my form teacher and the caretaker did everything they could to make my life hell and I got a boner in a P.E lesson :(:p

17 is good right now.:)

its been a good year so far since I've survived 2 car crashes and attempted mugging without a scratch

I liked 21. It was when I finally got to move to a big city, and away from my family. It marked the point in time where I transitioned into an adult, and all the freedoms and responsibilities that go along with it (which are more good than bad.)

Similar to me being 18/19. However, I was a student and, as such, got all the freedoms with none of the responsibilities. Result? I was drunk for a year :p

18 wasnt too bad.

You went out with a sophomore and got drooled over? Wow, shit. However, I've had boners in class with nobody noticing.

21 has been pretty awesome so far...

Considering today is Day 1 of age 17, its going pretty good. :D

Lucky for me, I don't wear tight shorts.

Lucky for me, I don't wear tight shorts.

Lucky for me, no guy at my school would ever wear tight pants in gym.

However they do wear chick jeans outside gym.

Emo jeans! :p

*admits he owns slightly slim jeans*

I liked 26 and 30. Good years.

I have a feeling that the mid-to-late thirties will be better.

19. Definatly. Although there's still six months for it to go downhill...

Slightly slim I like. Chick jeans, however, do not look good on guys at all.

i did PE in jeans in high school

They weren't chick jeans were they?! :eek:

For me, it was 16. I graduated highschool (home schooled), got into college and away from home, met my girlfriend, got laid, etc... Significantly better then the year before, and so far 17 hasn't been particularly spectacular. I'm in pretty good shape though all things considered.

They weren't chick jeans were they?! :eek:

so long ago i have no idea
all i can recall is i got away with it as head PE techer like me as i never go on his bad side
oh when it was summer time and we were in the pool i did not wear them like i don't wear them at all now days

You can have a best age? Here I thought life pretty much sucks throughout all ages or if you are lucky, merely forgettable.

Any age before 6 I suppose. I'm not too fond of the years from then on, up till now.

A Marxist perspective. "You have no right to complain, you borgeouise scum, for lo, the proletariat slaveth!"

That's essentially what you're saying, and it really doesn't help at all. YOUR MOM DIES. "Well get some perspective, at least you have running water!"

Thanks for posting that, it really cracked me up. :D

Anything before 14 was awesome. Everything went downhill on May 4th, 2002 @ 2:18 PM.

My favorite age was when I was 11 during the summer. I basically stayed at my grandma's house all day with 2 of my cousins and watched cartoons like Darkwing Duck and Tale Spin. I'd get home at about 10 pm at night and play Star Wars Dark Forces until midnight. Once a week my grandpa would drive all of us over to the bookstore and I would spend hours reading comics and video game magazines. I think I gained about 10 pounds that summer because my grandma would cook as much food as we could eat.

I think the summer before that was quite interesting too. I was at my babysitter's house all day playing snes and watching sailor moon.

1 through 18 weren't so great, not bad, but not great in retrospect.

19-35 have been better.

Hmmm. Despite my continual refusal to grow up, I seem to prefer being a legal adult. Leaving school seems to have been the turning point.

Slightly slim I like. Chick jeans, however, do not look good on guys at all.

The same goes for gangsta jeans on chicks - doesn't fit.

I agree, for once.

?

I'm guessing his kid was born?

22 when I finished college was good and so was 25 when I finished my graduate degree. 29 when I was engaged and married was really good, had a job as an Executive Vice-President.

Things have slipped since then.

I'm guessing his kid was born?No way! That day was amazing!

That was the time during the sexin' that I thought "oh shit!" ;)

Aha!

Her reaction was more priceless.

"OMG, did you... ?"
"Yeah"
"OMG!"
"I know!"

4 I'd say maybe 3, 2 was good, 1. Not 17, seventeen so far has had some really shit times- 1st time I got really badly depressed was the day I turned 17- I seem to be doing better now, and 17 has had it's moments- granted one or two moments seem to have had consequences, others a lack of...I'll never grow up, if only I could regress...:headbang:

Meh. I'd debate, but to quote D+D, "it's not in my orientation".
