So hungover this morning I accidently wore two different shoes (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter RokNRole
- Start date
Was only scheduled to work the am shift today. 1230 pm to 230 pm but the manager asked me to come in for the dinner shift. Told them I was pretty tired but capitulated because we have quite a few reservations.Went to a Mexican bar with the cook and valet and paid for the rounds. The cook drive us back and slipped me a 20 of blow as a thank you.
Im not back on for another 35 minutes. Considering doing a toot beforehand to sober up because I had 4 margaritas during happy hour between shifts. Might just save it for tonight when I get off.
Still awesome!

Ready to bang out dinner service. I love working as a server with a few drinks in me. Helps me open up and be personable. I never make a mistake when I'm buzzed. Only when I'm a sober and nervous. When I'm a little buzzed I sell the #### out of that menu and make the guests laugh lol.
i like working with people. It helps me. When I was a waiter it was so helpful to me in all aspects of life.

Yep.
I can only assume from this update that what I said earlier is accurate. Rok just wants traffic and doesn't care if the attention is positive or negative. He knows what kind of comments this is going to draw.

Well crap.... I was hoping I was wrong. Just aren't any success stories from that.

All you could say was ahh the service industry. Did you not read the part where he said he drank 4 margaritas and did blow before going back to work?
seriously? Dude. You should listen to yourself.

I agree with you here. EG, for all his good intentions, just seems to gloss over RnR's destructive behavior.T J said:

Someone needs to go to the restaurant where rok works and mess with him.

So, he doesn't listen to any advice and bristles at criticism (this has been said over and over) yet I'm supposed to castigate or advise him every time he does anything?T J said:
I'm not here to approve or disapprove of what he does. He's a grown man. I'm just listening.

I've said a thousand times that I'm not his life coach. I'm just here to talk to him, not lecture him.
I can tell you what isn't helpful is just calling him a "fool." What does that accomplish? Does TJ think he's going to see that and re-evaluate his life choices? Of course not.
It was also only a few pages back where he said he would direct his vitriol at me rather than Rok. I guess that's out the window, but Rok seems to invite negative press, so I guess it's mission accomplished.
The Kerminator

After 89 pages I think it's pretty apparent that nothing is going to get him to re-evaluate his choices. God bless those in here that are trying but you can lead a horse to water . . . . .

No, but it needs said and it's more than clear you ain't sayin' it.
Calling someone who exhibits that kind of behavior a fool doesn't even come close to being vitriol. Good grief. Like I said, you should listen to yourself. You are losing credibility by the post.
And by the way, where exactly has anything I've said been vitriol? That's a pretty strong, albeit inaccurate, description of my posts.

We aren't expecting any changes. Would love to but it's on him to surprise us. We've done all the "life coaching" we can do in this thread. It's all there for him if he chooses to look back on it, There is no point in calling him out on what he's doing. What does that accomplish other than he'll come back and attack that person. Let him be. He needs people who are his friend since he doesn't have any irl. So EG and I are his friends just to listen and not judge anymore. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with that? Do you just disregard a human because he's not doing things the way he should for himself? Who is he harming, except himself. 1000s of threads here. Why do you keep coming in here? That question has been asked a few time and still, no answer. Maybe take a look at yourselves?

Yeah. That's just it, I realized pretty quickly that he doesn't really want to be led to water. Most people don't. He just wants people to listen to him. If he asks me for help with anything, I'd gladly grant it. Other than that, I'm just here to listen without judgment.
I mean, if he showed up and said he was going to go out after work and kidnap children, I'd try to stop him. Doing a bump at work? Whatever. It is what it is. Me cutting into him or calling him a fool doesn't undo it nor is it going to stop him from doing it again if the opportunity arises, so what's the point? That's where I'm coming from, it's not a matter of glossing over his actions, it's just accepting that he's a grown man making his own choices (good, bad or otherwise. )

I remember my days in that industry. Not dissimilar. I may be a lot of things, but a hypocrite isn't one of them.
I understand what you're saying but I don't believe my approval or disapproval, tacit or otherwise, is going to inform Rok's actions or decisions. If I'm wrong, then you're right, it should have gone unsaid. I just don't think that's the case.

I also would like to add that I find it truly odd that I am being looked to to be a paragon of virtue for Rok. Have you guys ever seen the "Story Time" thread? I'm the last MFer on Earth who should be preaching abstinence of any sort. 
(That said, no - doing drugs and/or drinking at work is probably not the best move in the big picture for him. I just can't believe I'm even saying that.)

I assume from this that you disagree? If not, then I don't really know what you're trying to say. He's listened to and processed advice I've given, but hasn't actually followed any of it. If I excoriated him, you think next time someone offers him a line, he's turning it down? I'm sorry, I just don't believe that.
I didn't start this thread just for traffic. Most of it was negative, which at times is helpful, but I expected my experiences to be like the general population.Evilgrin 72 said:
Most of my experience with people is from women through relationships. There have been a lot of them , usually averaging 2-3 months at most, and once they learned how many issues I have they would cut me off. Harsh but I got used to it because I could move on and just carry some anger with me which is usually easily suppressed.
On here I can see there are a lot more people that care than I thought possible. I'm not comfortable with that and don't know how to handle it. There have been a couple of women in my life that stuck by me but now I'm confronted with dozens of people that care and I feel like a failure because I can't do justice to the time they took to communicate with me. I'm not ready to take the advice.
Thats probably why I'm usually a jerk on here and in my regular life. It's either be the nice guy I am and let people down, or just be a jerk and nobody cares and I can carry on.
Both scenarios are imperfect although either direction I go I am still so appreciative of the people that have tried to help. I feel so terrible I'm not worthy of it.

I'm really grateful for the people that have been nice and supportive. Even the people that haven't been nice. Some call it " tough love" but it's apparent most being mean aren't really doing that and just being nasty. I don't blame you because I've been mean on here plenty and I'm certain I've earned all the venom I get.
I thank the people that are nice for helping me to stop believing the world is evil.
I thank those that are mean for showing me how nasty I have truly been at times and wanting to change.

What irritates people is how nonchalant you are about a whole host of things - women's cooches smelling, doing blow, just really all of it. You are making a complete mockery of yourself, this thread, and the people in it - to the extent a good many think this is one giant fishing trip. Tell ya what, I'm going to put you on ignore. I don't wish you luck. I don't wish you ill, but do count me among those who think you're full of it.

I don't feel that way. Knowing I have talent but not knowing what to do with it. I feel like a loser and everyone else has it figured out. I see people come in to the restaurant and buy tons of food for groups of people, hot dates, anyone like it's nothing. I wish I could do that. I wish I could just write or draw every day what people want and just go on with my life. Not just for the money but because it makes me happy.
i didn't even make money on the dongs but it made me so happy to draw them and make people laugh. I don't even particularly like drawing dongs but I don't necessarily mind it. The payoff was entertaining everyone.
But like everything I either try to little or too much ( like with the dongs) and I burn myself out to the point of exhaustion. There are businessmen out there doing so many different things and working almost 24/7 and they have everything. They don't even seem bothered by it. They are in shape, personable, not even bags under their eyes but they are doing something right.
I can't do anything right. Sometimes I can produce a great drawing or maybe even write something funny. Sometimes I come up with a funny skit or joke for my girlfriend but I do squat with it.
I even feel confident I could be a working artist. I drew the designs and got my t shirt business up in only a couple of weeks because I applied myself 12+ hours a day. I was able to do that because I was living with a girl that loved and believed in me. She said she supported me 100% and I did it.
Soon after I was offered a full time job at the agency and I no longer had the time so it just evaporated. I know I could do something with art but I can't focus on anything else which isn't possible for a poor person like me. My ex/not ex, I:E: the love of my life has even said she would support me for a while if I wanted to make a serious go of it, I just don't want to do that to her because I might fail.
I was only able to do it for the old girlfriend because we were living in her parents house so I paid them back by renovating the kitchen and basically doing all the chores I could. Which took like 2-3 hours a day.
Im deeply envious and frankly resentful of all the artists born in to money that were able to just focus on it. That's such a luxury.

Also. I want to apologize to the poster here that commissioned a work from me for $100. That haunts me every day. I got halfway through and fell apart. I was rushing it and it was crap. I think about making good on that every day. I have had the money a few times and I just pissed it away.

Mister, you better take your gay porn and walk right out of this bar!
I see now why I'm basically an internet terrorist even though I've stayed in one thread. It's true that nobody has to read this thread but I am still forcing them by not letting it go away. I can't force people to answer the phone or respond to my texts but I can keep this thread on the front page by texting constant nonsense in to it.
Its completely out of line and disrespectful to this community. I'm tempted to ask for a temporary timeout from the mods because I'm such a melodramatic jerk. I'll try to control myself and ask if I really need it.
Im sorry FFA.

If you need time away, you don't need a mod/admin to do anything. People take breaks from boards for various reasons. But a few of us would like for you to stay, at least in your thread as we don't feel you are better off alone. Everyone has a choice of what threads they care to visit, or not. And there is a place for everyone on this board despite what some may say. Up to you.

I'm not strong enough to stay away. Most of the time I say things because it's important to me but sometimes I do just enjoy an audience and I like to see the various reactions. It's never because I'm just playing with people but because I've either thought about it for a long time, or more often completely clueless what to do. I like to hear dissenting opinions but it's just making people argue. Often it takes me a few days to process them and by that time people think I'm trolling or taking no action.
Either way I feel like I'm taking advantage of an open forum. I see why it looks fake because even most people in their darkest places wouldn't be able to express things like I do and when I'm in a good mood and trying to make a few jokes it doesn't come across as serious. I do this with everyone that comes in to my life. How could anyone stand someone either making constant jokes or talking about the most depressing thing possible?
A few people have stuck around long enough to see a few glimmers of the real Jason, usually when I'm halfway between drunk and too drunk, but he is a really great guy. Some nights I am briefly able to find that guy and I feel so comfortable and I'm so nice that I could melt anyone's heart.
But I have to poison my body to be that guy. And in the process of finding that guy, which is rare, I poison everything around me. Some nights if I drink myself to the sweet spot I want to save the world and show everyone love. I feel remorse for any bit of hatred or lack of sympathy and compassion I've shown. For a few hours.
Then I wake up the next day and I either can't look anyone in the eye or I'm just annoying. My annoying self manifests on here because I know no matter what someone will read it. That's just presumptuous and pathetic.
