Wanna do something "real", do this:

Within 30 minutes from this post, take a cell phone video of yourself and post it on YouTube. Technology makes this so incredibly simple Shuke can do it.

In the video, disclose GirlA's first name, city of residence and her major hobby. Since we've both talked to her, this should be easy and I can verify.

Then since you're other credible fact of existence is you talked to Cappy over the phone giving career advice, tell us what was discussed, where Cappy lives, what his first name is and what he did for work when you talked.

Now, we are all aware that you're an older guy with a distinct older voice so let's hope your video matches what we "know" about "you".

My bet is you won't accept this challenge because you can't. You're the work of fiction by different users and you're writing style is completely different from what it was. But prove me wrong, tough guy. This is an easy challenge. 30 minutes, go....tick-tock

When she smiles

Or they call me Daddy

The worries of the world just seem to fade away

I'm alive and I know what matters

If this is all I ever have well that's okay

I'm proud to say I'm a rich man

Bout what I thought. Coward.

 
Yes/No

My definition of success is happiness. I have a great family and significant other and I like where I work. I am happy. I'm also a 1 percenter so by society's definition I'm probably perceived as successful as well.

Have I made it? To me the answer is no. I feel as if I have a higher calling to do something impactful beyond business and I haven't figured out what that is. Once I've accomplished everything I'm capable of I'll say I've "made it", until then I'm still striving to be my best.

I think this is the best definition there is.

Top 3-4% income wise but we live in a small house, wife and I both drive 2004 vehicles, don't go out very often. So probably don't meet society's definition of "making it".

 
i voted yes for successful and tbd for if i have made it. We make good money and have zero debt. But i cant really self assess for a while because anything can happen and we are still pretty young. So right now, i would say we are fairly successful. Will see where things are 10, 20, 50 years from now. I feel like whether i made it or not is more of a long term thing.

 
When did he take a shot at me? Scrolling up I guess...
Oh that. Not entirely sure why I made it into that rant. But I most certainly remain jilted that I couldn't hack it on the FBG staff. Makes me the cynical ####### that I am, I suppose. Strange it took joe and David ten years to let me go. And as a point of clarification I'm not sure I've ever claimed to be a decent person. :shrug:

As to the topic at hand, I am finally successful. I am completely unfulfilled most of the time. And the holes I have put myself in over the years make having "made it" still a bit out of reach.

We are unfulfilled hunks of meat careening into the void. It is only blackness. Eat at Arby's.

 
I'm trying to understand how I got labeled as a mediocre football analyst. I was never more than a good writer. The football analysis was far from reaching mediocre.

Let's see, you've got 66 THOUSAND posts on this board, this board is a proxy for your social life. You've got your IFriends and ICliques here.

Your best buddies here is a creepy stalker type and a mediocre football analyst who spent endless time whining here on the board about how he borrowed money from friends to start a business, failed at it, and couldn't face his wife and kid any longer because of his shame.

You, like a lot of the other IClique douchebags here, think you entitled to decide who gets to post here, what gets said and how things move along. You, along with your butt buddies, even have a private board to talk about this board.

But suddenly I have the problem here?

THIS BOARD IS YOUR SOCIAL LIFE. YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IFRIENDS IS NOT THE SAME AS ACTUALLY GOING OUTSIDE AND INTERACTING WITH OTHER REAL HUMAN BEINGS. YOU ARE DIGGING IN TO DEFEND A CREEPY STALKER AND A GUY WHO BELIEVES THE PATH TO SUCCESS IS TO KEEP POSTING THOUSANDS OF POSTS ON A MESSAGEBOARD ASKING COMPLETE STRANGERS HOW TO SUCCEED AT BUSINESS.

That's the thing General Malaise, I AM LAUGHING. LAUGHING. LAUGHING. LAUGHING.

THIS BOARD IS YOUR SOCIAL LIFE AND EVERYONE ELSE HAS A PROBLEM? Everyone else BUT YOU?

I'm going to do what Otis did when the rest you mouth breathing hucksters demanded pictures of his wife, I'm going to just keep laughing at you.

DO YOU ALSO HAVE THOUSANDS OF POSTS AT THAT OTHER MESSAGE BOARD, WHERE THE PURPOSE IS TO TALK ABOUT THIS MESSAGE BOARD WITH YOUR ILLUSTRIOUS GROUP OF IFRIENDS?

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

HAAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA.

So the point here is I MUST be a fake group alias that one of your stalker buddies designed to keep NOT getting a stranger chick from the Interweb.

Dude, I feel so sorry for you right now, I'd actually buy you a Happy Meal.
Is there really a womens restroom message board?

I know what Otis' wife looks like because we are friends on Facebook. I have known for years what she looks like. Otis is one of my 830 FB friends.

You had a chance to show yourslef. You failed. You are a coward, a bully and a shell of what your purported to be a decade ago. Me? I'm me. Accessible, reachable, real; warts and all.

Group aliases are not new and they're not fresh. The fact that you've opted to use yours to bully and be hurtful to others makes you - all of you - disgusting.

Coward.

What a sad, bitter, angry guy. :no:

 
Haven't had good board drama like this in probably a decade. :popcorn:

By the way, how did I get dragged into this, and what is he talking about re pictures of my wife? So hard to keep up with the crazy around here. This, and the dude who gets mad at me for mentioning the other dude who draws all the penis cartoons, and the time one guy Facebook messaged me a threat that he was coming to my house.

:crazy:

I have 70k more posts than you and probably used about the same amount of words you have. :lmao:

tl;dr :bye:

 
Why would anyone meltdown on GM anyway, seems like an unreasonable target. So white he gets a sunburn walking by a window, 12 kids, Ducks fan, and a super nice guy.

Pick on me Gekko, I'm your Huckleberry. I'm none of those things. :popcorn:

Hold the phone. Penis cartoons? How did I miss that
 
A bit weird how serious some of you take this place.
How serious Gekko takes it you mean? Or because he's a alleged group alias?

People fighting over chicks who post at football forums that are 97% male is a bit weird, that I"ll give you. The rest is internet theater and Gekko seems to be merging the innerwebs and real life into a poop soup. :shrug:

Yeah I mean those are some downright weird posts.

But "alleged group alias"? What the hell does that even mean and how would you know?

 
INTERNET HERO: you guys take this place too seriously just chill out

HOT BABE: *salivating*

INTERNET HERO: i dont even know what any of this means. i might log off soon

HOT BABE: DO ME

It's been an on-going conversation for years. I know nothing of Gekko except he hates women and is generally angry about everything. Oh and the 7000 word diatribes I never read.

Post 51 is really creeping me out.

Reminds me of that e-mom stuff that one time.

I know a lot of guys IRL from this board, and the only drama we ever had was a couple of guys quit a baseball league we were all in together. Drama should stay on the boards here, when it goes offline into motels, breaking up marriages, and death threats, it tends to not be as entertaining.
