The title is self explanitory. If you are title-blind and can't read titles or something like that the question is do you have a life? Truely I am really asking this. I mean life in terms do you enjoy yours, is it worth living? Do you do anything at all?

Vote and explain.

It's still under construction.

Yes I do. I have and continue contribute a lot to society. So yes I would miss myself if I were gone. So would my family, friends and employee's.

What is this life you speak of?

Dunno, heard it on Dr. Phil.

I just got back from my Kung Fu class if that's what you mean.

Dunno, heard it on Dr. Phil.

One has to be a real Dr. to use Dr. in front of their name.

yes I do and its fairly groovy I guess

I mean I could go further but I'd say yeah I do enjoy being alive even if I would rather get out more than sit on my arse all day (even though just hanging out with mates is the meaning of life)

BTW its really hard to not rant abut your life so I'd say in about a minuet you will have some reading to do :p

also how old are you if I may ask?

It's better than this guy's : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuz1hR_VksA&feature=related

Not very old, 17 at the most.

You get smacked out by a brick at the age of 12 and not quite remember when you woke up or something?

Not if all that brown gooey stuff was brownie mix.

Meh... my job consumes me so much I hardly have anything to call or that resembles a life.:p

I'll tell you from bitter experience - it isn't.

What if it is a culinary school?

We're on NSG, what the hell do you think?

Seriously? I do enjoy my life but I'm sure that many people would say I don't have much of a life given that my days are often filled with watching films and being on the computer.

In some ways that's a matter of choice - I like writing, I like films - but on the other hand if I was naturally cooler I'd probably like all the things that cool people do.

It appeared to be a building site, as you'll note by the crane, large girder and barrow which all came together fill that poor bastard's day with tragicomedy.

oh well then if I'm reading this thread right your perfectly super fine :) (hell everyone feels like this, hence why extremist groups hang about higher education like falcons)

That eerily resembles what I describe my life to be. The most I get out is to walk my dog or when friends are over. Even then we stay inside alot but we go outside so my mum doesn't smell the smoke. (I play with fire, I don't smoke joints.)

pardon the mess

isn't that the definition of cool? I mean unless you watch snuff films all day or something

active folk are either pricks, cunts, robots or something of the mix :cool:

so long as you have the opposite sex in company how bad could it be?

Well only on Wensdays. Thus the reason I voted for the "Only on Wensdays" choice.

Me no haz life!!

If we could re-define cool to suit me that would fantastic.

You can't forget annoyed bastards who hate life, people looking for work, hobos, Holy Rollers (I had an encounter with them today) and people trying to pass off their lame excuse of an life as something worth living. As for the second statement you couldn't be more true.

The title is self explanitory. If you are title-blind and can't read titles or something like that the question is do you have a life? Truely I am really asking this. I mean life in terms do you enjoy yours, is it worth living? Do you do anything at all?

Vote and explain.

I said yes. I have a life, not perfect but good in the big picture. I spend my time doing exactly what I want to do for the most part. A very nice feeling! :p

I outsourced my life to some guy in India. For only $10 a week, he rock climbs, has learned a foreign language, and is a good neighbor and son. I'm currently working to find someone younger to learn how to be me by watching him. If I play my cards right (and the prices don't change), I will be able to live for ten thousand years.

why do you think Jazz bars went downhill when the Internet came out?

thats it feed off the elitism! everyone else is retarded and at best either hanging out at the same shitty clubs or drinking warm beer in bus shelters

As for the second statement you couldn't be more true.

given the posts you see on NS though I'm going to view this as sarcasm :p

I only have a life when I have money, and seeing as I am currently unemployed, I don't really think I have one...

I love my life. Even when it's bad it's still pretty awesome. I love every minute and I can hardly wait to wake up the next day.

Absolutely not.

Well, on the one hand, I'm alive. I think. I'm capable of breathing, talking, and moving, and my body functions relatively normally.

On the other hand, I have no friends, don't watch movies or TV, read few books, don't have many interests, rarely travel, don't play games, and lack motivation to the degree that as yet I've made no effort to change any of those. In addition, I tend to function poorly in the workplace and experience long periods of reduced or nonexistent sex drive.

I must therefore conclude that the question as to whether I have a "life" really depends on your definition thereof.

Sex, good food, money, a house with a game room and library, weekends for social drinking, good friends, paintball, XBox Live, and the internet is all you need to have a life. So yes.

I suppose I have a life. I do things... like paint, sing, go clubbing, see movies, go to the beach, hang at a local gallery, and spend time with my guy. I spend a lot of time on the internet, though, and I don't have as many friends as the typical zomgz-18-year-old-grrl.

(I play with fire, I don't smoke joints.)

The first one makes your life less cool than the latter, sorry.

To answer the question more clearly then I did last time:

It depends what the OP means, if he means "have a life" in the sense of being cool then it's a qualified 'no'. If he means "do you like your life?" then it's a qualified 'yes'.

Silly Wubbies.

Life is not intended for enjoyment and all who deem to think so are sadly deluded. Or happily deluded. Or just plain deluded.

Life is all about suffering and misery don'cha know? I respect my miserable life.

Heathens.

What the fuck is a life...

What the fuck is a life...

It's that cereal... I think Mikey likes it. Not too sure, tho.

Dunno, heard it on Dr. Phil.

Well, if Phil McGraw believes "a life" is one that features a girlfriend and/or regular sex he's pretty well deluded...not that he isn't anyway but that's still a very narrow view of what a "life" is.

I wouldn't exactly have what many would conventionally call "a life" (I live in a small town- there's nothing for me to "get out" to do, but I do get out from time to time nonetheless) but I still enjoy it and that's the main part. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you're doing *something* with your existence (I am going back to school in September) and you're enjoying your existence, things like social status really mean nothing.

There are no girls on the internet.

I am young, rich (by local standards, at least) and good looking in a foreign city.

Vote and explain.

I enjoy my life in that living it is better than the alternative.

Despite extreme sleep deprivation and probably a degree of emotional problems lately, both caused by school.. yeah, I have one and it doesn't suck.

I mean, honestly. I spent a couple hours in a recording studio this evening mixing- who does that for school projects? I spent last night with one of my best friends, so I got hugs and laughs. I can get amazing sex when I want it. And, you know. I'm alive, and there are people who love me. Do I need much else?

The title is self explanitory. ... I mean life in terms do you enjoy yours, is it worth living? Do you do anything at all?

Vote and explain.Two distinct meanings; by common definition (the one used by morons who tell others to get a life), no (I don't have the slightest semblance of a life), and I wouldn't have it any other way. But in terms of whether I find it enjoyable and meaningful, yes.

Such are nerds - except those who are unfortunate enough to be burdened with a genuine need for a social life and of relationships. If you don't desire it, you don't miss it - such are all pleasures. (in return, to me gaining any knowledge and awareness of interest feels good)

I enjoy my life in that living it is better than the alternative.

Not to encourage suicide or anything, but you haven't actually experienced the alternative. Could be great.

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

Yep. I post here either when bored fuckless at home from university, or when I'm feeling anti-social and grumpy at university.

To be honest, things have improved radically since October.

Yes.

I have a boat, friends and next week i'm off to the best place on earth.

Yes I do. I'm constantly out with friends, having excellent adventures! (read as Alcohol induced weirdness.)

I guess you could say I have a life. Many people wouldn't consider what I do "a life", and I don't have any relationships with anyone, but yes, I have a life, and I enjoy living it. There's a long, 3-month story behind my current state of being, but long story short, I was developing a theory about the nature of the universe, which dealt with randomness that was controlled by a single sentient being in each universe (I could go into depth about the theory, but I'd rather not), and it almost killed me. As soon as I "realized" that I could control the probabilities of certain events happening, I started to think about things I normally wouldn't think about, murder, theft, breaking into Fort Knox, you name it. And then I realized that because I'm the only sentient being, the one who's subconscious mind controls everything, I am the cause of everyone's death, everyone's suffering. And my mind was assaulted by a moral decision, let go of them, they don't matter, they're not real, or face the consequences of your actions. I prayed, and my prayers were answered. And now I enjoy life to the fullest. I do computer programming, that's my thing, but I also enjoy classical music and renaissance-era art. I still enjoy theoretical physics, math, and geology. And yes, I enjoy playing video games, even though I don't have many and the ones I do have are old (like Need For Speed II ;)). And now I need to get another cup of coffee. Goodbye.

Yes.

You can get to Bern, Switerland by boat? ;)

Where can I download one of those?
I can't believe no one's said that yet.
Not yet, but one is in progress and shaping up nicely enough.

Yes, I have a life. I am a student at a good college, I have a supportive family, I don't have to worry about my financial situation, and I even have a social life! And while I don't have a girlfriend, I do have friends I can count on to support me.

Meh... my job consumes me so much I hardly have anything to call a life.:p

a glitch in the matrix as well?
oh my things are getting odd around here. on another note, Pull yourself together! The potatoes took no survivors when they invaded Poland, and they won't spare you! evar.

As for myself, hmmmm sort of, it's hard to explain without giving a proper definition of life, some could be;
"I go out with my mates all the time, i want to have a better life"
"I create plans to take over the world, one day.."
"I have kids thus i have no time for myself"
"I care for everyone i can, thus i have no time for myself"
"I study alot, thus have little time for a life".
In all of these definitions they have the assumption that life is something great and amazing to have, to be free, i doubt in reality this is what a "real" life is.
If anything it's the most common lifestyle of every person on this planet, and as that could involve anything i think it's fair to say anything you do, say or think contributes to your idea of life, no matter how depressing, lively or innovative everything you do is life, therefore everyone has a life, whether they have their ideal of life is well an ideal, i'm sure everyone has thier own ideal of what they could be, everyone. so there's little point in despairing when there's nothing to despair about.

Therefore i have a life.

This goes on to show that I, indeed, have no life. I spend between 12-14 hours at work, sometimes my weekends are filled with work and, those damn cocktails consume me!!!

I have a girlfriend so I have sex. I have a job so I have money and nice things. I'm in a fraternity so I can party whenever I want and have a good number of friends. I get good grades so I'm going to get a degree and then a job. Ya...I have a life...

if by life you mean 50-75 hours on the computer per week

You can get to Bern, Switerland by boat? ;)

No, The lakes, England.

There is room for improvements but I enjoy mine.

Why yes, I have a life. Mostly it's made up of work and scant leisure time, but hey, the Constitution only allows individuals the right to pursue happiness. It does not make an gaurantees you'll catch it.

I'd like less of a life please, so I can do things like, oh...get enough sleep. You know, just once in a while?

The New Jersey Constitution grants citizens the right to "pursue and obtain happiness"!

Do I have a life?

I have four.

It's complicated.

I picked yes, does my life have its ups and downs? yes, but it beats being dead by a long shot.

Plus I want to live to see more nude pics of Lindsay Lohan,at some point she must do Playboy.

If you control it it's not really random, is it? Aside from that, it explains quite a few things, like why I run out of cereal every morning.

To answer The Question, I was breathing yesterday so by most standards I am fairly alive. It might not be a very cool life in the rule-the-world-way you guys might think of it, but whenever I might start having that feeling of worthless life, I go on Wikipedia and read about the tons of people who got hanged,drawn and quartered,sawed,impaled,burned,flayed,roasted or boiled alive (for shitty reasons too), I think if these great many people would have enjoyed my life as an alternative and start feeling better about it.
But to be extremely accurate I voted the "Only on Wednesdays".

Me no haz life!!

This is a test, and only a test, do not be alarmed.

Also, 2 of the posters admitted they have sex! How many more of you are?

Yep. Busy life, so haven't been RPing on here in ages. College, work, out of state girlfriend, busy with groups on campus, anti-war protests, and general partying with friends, books, video games, hanging out with my cousins.

But I try to balance my geeky indulgences with the other parts of my life.

The New Jersey Constitution grants citizens the right to "pursue and obtain happiness"!

That may be, but we all know that happiness cannot actually be obtained in New Jersey. Anyone who enters knows only sadness and despair. If you do manage to obtain happiness in New Jersey you are rewarded with the title "King/Queen of New Jersey" and are then deposed via mob hit and dumped in the Atlantic.

No, because it's getting warm enough to golf again.
