Post what you're thinking right now.

You just have to make sure you get a doctor that is thorough and competent.  The Doctor that did mine, proudly said "When I do a vasectomy, they stay done!"  Which is what I wanted to hear.  And during the procedure I could hear what he was doing, no pain of course, he snipped the tubes, cauterized the ends and then turned both ends back away from each other....so they stood no chance of growing back.   It does happen unfortunately, but, not to me!

They're supposed to be reversible though.
Sounds dangerous.

The value that my friends place on completely shallow bullshit makes me quite literally feel physically sick to think about.  I don't know what's happening, but one of them seems to be losing her soul, somehow.  Am I imagining it?  Am I waking up to it?  Am I just crazy?  All I know is, I'm starting to say things when they go off on rants about appearances.  It really bothers me.

Ya know what, I'm relating a fact of what I experienced!  I'm a nurse and no fucking dummy.  What the Doctor said made sense to me and my wife.  And I DID NOT want a reversal at any time, no ifs and no buts, AND NO REGRETS.  You want to rain on other peoples parades, great, this is I2, free speech is a hoot, say what you damn well please.  And I will do what I do best.  Have a good life!

This is how some people cope with existence.
Sorry.

That's a lazy response of bubbly, flippant nihilism and no substance or thought behind it.
Sorry.

Touchy? Did I hit a nerve accidentally?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be an ass, but
sometimes it's hard to tell what little
jokes will sting. If you're so happy about
it, why are you lashing out?

Is it? How does that make it anything other than what you'd expect
from me? It is fully in conformance with what I believe. Don't see any
other way to put it. The strong hold on to what is real to them, the
weak give in to the expectations of some crappy reality imposed from
without.

[ozymandias]

I'm sick of your flippant spamming remarks.  I'm not that touchy most times, but I can get that way when people deliberately try to provoke me.  End of discussion.

because it makes me feel even cooler than smoking and wearing a leather jacket.
Can't think of a cooler way to put it. The psychotic hold on to what is real to them,
and I consider living in the real world a weakness.

Edited for accuracy.

[Calandale]

How'd you know that I wear a leather jacket?

And yeah, living in the REAL world of material
desires is a fucking weakness.

Everything else is crap though. But have fun
playing psychoanalyze the attention whore.

Though, I suspect the sentence:

               

The psychotic hold on to what is real to them,

Was in error. Otherwise, you might just have gotten something out
of it all.

[El]

not really, just sloppy editing.  Should have italiced to them.  Living in your own reality (as opposed to the generally accepted one) is psychosis, from a textbook standpoint.

I certainly wouldn't debate psychological definitions.
And that is the meaning that I suspected you intended.

So, my aim is psychosis. It's good to have a word. Big
deal. If my intended existence is better than my current
one, I'm only improving myself.

Even if I can't deny some underlying reality, it is still
clear that my goal is possible. Yet, my views are at
least as self consistent as those which can be formulated
to explain the merely animalistic existence that most lead.

God, I hate black flies, can't wait for the dragonflies to make their appearance.

I wonder who's been smiting me.

There seems to have been a lot of smiting going on today  Mine's been up and down like a bride's nightie
