so in America we have this thing called "the american dream" some basic guidelines like... get married till the late 20's, buy a house in the 30's, have a solid family supporting job in the 40-60's, retire by 65 and enjoy the rest of your life. i know things don't go along the way they are supposed to buy that's besides the point. do other countries have this kind of a "dream", is there a "british dream", "the asian dream", "the brazilian dream"? 

Space Journal #1: So Apparently i  was dropped on the moon like i'm a mars rover, in a matter of hours i have found the transformers on the dark side of the moon. Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Nope xD

And the American dream sounds rather silly to be honest, and boring to death (literally, haha)

 

There is an 'ideal life' standard on each country, which was the rumour everyone would get in tough war zones about that particular region. But it wasn't more than mere opportunity when making a fresh start.

In Denmark we used to talk about the 3 V's: Villa, vovse (a dog) and Volvo (the car)

When you had all three, you know you had succeded in life.

Not a 4th one wink wink??

I can think of another V that should be there...

Also, what if one has a Bugatti? Have they failed in life?

Villa Vovve Volvo

 

Villa Doggy Volvo - I suppose the translation would be

 

I'd rather have, Log cabin, Cat, Merc

Oh...I get it now.

"doggy"

 

There was the mysterious "V"!

 

Ok, I should stop with this joke now.

 

 

Back on topic :

Nope. No such thing here.There's been a lot of changes , and finding a workplace even when you have completed a very good university is quite hard.

I just want a decent job where I can maybe get paid to work from home. A nice house in the mountains with a big garage for my workshop to work on hobby projects, and a beautiful woman to spend the rest of my life with, who is just as cynical and anti-social as I am.

 

Is that so much to ask? lol

Eventhough the first gender reassignment surgery was performed on a Dane, I still think that is a bit far to go to achieve happiness.

That is one V I can live without having.

Perhaps. Prefer redheads, and want someone willing to go out and do stuff, but stuff that doesn't involve large crowds. Things like camping etc.

 

Large crowds can be tolerated for game conferences and technology conferences lol

I don't think you'll need Viagra to succeed in life ... 

 

Edit : You need Valve to satisfy your gaming life .... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...
