    i have noticed lately i have been thinking very irrationally,
    then a few days later after i have a made a completely idiotic decision i am like Damn what was I thinking!
    (example: I dated this guy once in school, i didnt even like him, broke up with him 3 days later and looked back on it and wonderd what was goin thru my head when i started talking to him!!)
    .
    you guys ever do stuff and then wonder why the hell you did it.

    lol its ok if its a minor decision like "well, should i be funny and wear bowling shoes to work today".................. but if its something like "i think it's a good idea to hop on the back of a train and see where i end up" then it isnt....... Luckily i have caught myself before I end up acting on these rediculous ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On my last arrest, I was charged with: possession of heroin with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, aggravated battery on a police officer, unlawful use of a weapon, open alcohol, and driving without insurance. The chain of events which brought me to that place was definitely the fruits of irrational thinking. In court, every charge was dropped, except for aggravated battery on a police officer - and I did 2 years on a five year sentence - all because of irrational thinking - NEVER FIGHT the COPS; NEVER-EVER! Cops are all lying pricks, and they stick together, so NEVER fight them - you can't win.

    YES!!!! and I just picked up my presciption this morning. :D

    I go thru stages where my impulse thinking effects my overall thinking. I can go from one extreme to the other. I am either manic or depressed. I either want to shop or I don't want to buy a darn thing. I am actually tired of my crazy behaviour being such an issue all the time. I am also tired of fighting with my emotions so today is the start of a new day for me.

    Funny I often say "things are going to change around here" when I am in my "authoritive" mood. My 5 1/2 year old has started saying it. lol

    I haven't jumped on a train yet but if this medicine don't kick in soon I am afraid I might.

    i seem to screw up with people. example....at work there are two girls and one guy that i hang out with alot, i really like them all. the guy is a flirt and one of the girls thought that he liked her, she didn't like him back, but it's always nice when you think a guy likes you....so on a day when she wasn't there i asked him and he didn't even know her by name!!! i told him that i was just asking cuz iwas curious not cuz she wanted to get hooked up.
    now i feel horrible cuz i found out that she would be super pissed if she finds out that i asked him....argh!!!!! i don't want to tell her cuz maybe she won't find out, but if she does find out will it be worse cuz i didn't say anything?! grr!!!!! i gotta just keep my stupid mouth shut.

    I think if you confront her first and tell her what you did it would be better than having her find out from someone else. It shows that you care about her feelings and that you truely are sorry for what you did.

    I would just sit her down and tell her. If she is your friend she will see that you cared enough to tell her. If you let it go and she finds out from someone else betrayl could set in and that would be worse.

    Your a good person for even considering her feelings. We all make mistakes and slip-ups. This is how we learn from them. ( I think I just sounded like a Mom there)

    woohoo....you nearly brought a tear to my eye. I mean, I know it was probably awful at the time, but I could just imagine some drunk drug dealer fist-fighting with cops. Maybe you aren't one, but that's the image that comes to mind. :p

    I wasn't dealing Moon, but I had enough weight to be charged with distribution. What happened was, the cops pulled me over because they thought I was somebody else, after they determined I wasn't the wanted guy, they continued to search my truck and found the horse and the gun. The gun and dope charges were thrown out of court, because the cops didn't have probable cause to search my truck, since they knew I wasn't the wanted guy. However, when the cops were arresting me, they got a cuff on right hand, then I started fighting them, and the cuff slung around and hit one of the cops in the face and broke his cheekbone - the judge said that a person CANNOT resist arrest, even if it's an unlawful arrest made in good faith. So I pled out to aggravated battery, and got 5 years and did 2. It was a nice 2 year vacation at Tier 5, Statesville, in Joliet; and I'll do the same thing the next time they pull me over.

    LOL! Been there, done that! LOL! I did a lot of things in my past that were just on "impulses"....................


    But, your impulses you act on, should teach you a lesson on other random actions in your future. Hopefully you learn from your mistakes................
