i cant ride my bike, its in pieces, and im having trouble coming up with the money to fix it, and thats my only stress reliever right now...
 
and

BlindinOrange:
Well after a horrible year I am sad to say that I am no longer going to have a Bike..... the repo man came last Fri night and took pitty on me and let me have it for one more week to see if I can get it out of collections but he will be back tomarrow.... I am not the type to hide it and be dishonest, he put his neck out for me the least I can do is the honorable thing..I just cant get all the money in time so its a no go..
 
The only difference I see here is... JD stepped out and literally ASKED for someone to give him money. Shame... I might not be liked anymore, but I think im pointing out the obvious. Free money cry out if you ask me.

I just broke up with my gf after 4 years, my new duplex I moved into 4 months ago burned down, and I lost my job 6 months ago because I left work to go see my mother in the hospital (after her lung collapsed). I am only employed at a convenience store, rather than my desk job at FedEx, and have no money to keep my 954, the reason I am trying to sell it, and avoid calls from GE MONEYBANK, ruining my credit. You dont have it so bad, grow a pair and understand things could be a lot worst.

Depends on how you read into that.  I feel the kid took a step in the right direction about getting advice which i know is hard to do.  And he was just giving some background details, because i know if he didn't say his bike was broken someoen would have came out and said just go ride your bike and forget about her.

Anyways JD i was in your place before i woke up at 7 went to school from 730-230 then worked from 300-12am and did that 6 days a week and ontop of that my ex broke up with me after 3 years, I literly wanted to just find somewhere to run and never come back.  I found friends that I have neglected since we were together. And now look at me a year later I have a nice job, awesome friends.  Things will get better, don't sweat the small stuff.  Do what i did i worked on my bike try to keep yourself distracted talk to friends about it.  Someone told me on here once " one day you will wake up and it won't be the first thing you think about" "think of it as not time wasted, but time spent and now to move on."
 
I actually found who said it with all his words of wisdom he is right about this.

anyway, check the census mang...there are PLENTY of womeng out there...and great ones too, with personality and looks! unfortunately, you will never them or run across them until you're married...hahahhahaha j/k.

you're young...move on with your life, establish your career and all else will fall in place. don't worry about a cheating girl, cause she's not worth anyone's effort, especially yours. don't look at it as 3 years down the drain, but as 3 years of good times that now must end.

AND when your mind is all cloudy with hurt, etc...don't be afraid to shed some tears and cry...will make you feel better (i've NEVER done this but was told by a tough, mangly mixed martial artist that it works...mauahhaha...)...and don't get on the bike thinking it'll make you feel better, cause it'll just ake away your focus.

Why even mention needing money to fix your bike because its "the only thing that relieves your stress" then? I dont understand why you said that..................... still sounds like a cry to me.

i love hoping on my bike when i have problems..after 20 minutes i feel better. and im sure its the same with alot of people on here..if i didnt say that it was broken i would probably get alot of "go ride"

the money is just another thing that is adding stress to my life..i didnt ask for money, and i never would..maybe you would and thats why you see it that way..but im not like that.

anyways im not going to fight about it over the internet..so you say what you want..think what you want..but im in no mood to fight with you about it.


on another note..

It may not always seem like it with me..but i am a strong christian, and i do read the bible alot..and today i was flipping through it for a little guidence maybe, and stumbled upon first peter..and what i got out of it..was perfect.

latley i have been straying away from church, Christ, etc.

and in first peter it kinda tells you..maybe all of the bad things are happening so i will turn to god for help..and he can work things out..and then i will be straight with him again.

i dont know how i got onto first peter..just something i started reading..glad i did tho.

Life will punch you in the neck on many occassions, and it's results may sting, but I have one thing to say to you: "YOU ARE SEVENTEEN"!  What you are feeling is no less valuable than what I feel, but the main difference is...YOU ARE SEVENTEEN.  You have so much life ahead of you at this point.  You can still be a fireman, a veterinarian, or an astronaut.  Now, go kick ass.  We all have potential, but it is what you do with that potential that decides your ultimate fate...   

WOw, this man right here sum'd it up really good JD. Being seventeen myself, I sorta know how your feeling JD. No worries tho bro! We're here for ya. Just take what Voodoo and the others have said and take it all in.

WERE ONLY SEVENTEEN BRO! WE CAN BE FIREFIGHTERS!!!
 
 
Edit: Didnt see what AAnderson had to say, So Ill say what I need.
 
   AAnderson, just keep your comments to yourself bro. Most comments you add to threads are annoying and irritating. Like your trying to get a rise out of people or something.

A few years ago my wife of 17 years left me, my mother died, and then my father died, All in about 100 days. People would ask me how I was and that it was so bad for me. But I thought about the 18 and 19 years olds that lost a leg or an arm or died in Afganistan or Iraq and I felt lucky and simply said to these people that it was all a part of life, it could always be worse for me. Life sometimes sucks, but that is what makes us who we are. If life was almost always perfect then burning the toast would be a trajedy or getting a hang-nail would be a major crisis. 
 
Working hard, being bored, and losing your girlfriend ain't dick. It sucks but tough. That is life. If you have 6 hours of real fun a week, that is plenty, more than most. We all got dumped, we all worked hard, we all were sad, be thankful for what you have. Be thankful you didn't die in your accident, be thankful your helmet stayed on even though you didn't strap it on, be thankful you have a job and that you aren't homeless, be thankful you only hurt your shoulder, got dumped and have to got to work.
 
If you go on meds you are a pussy.

Well AAnderson, I never liked you so we can get that straight.
As for what you have posted here? WTF?
 
  It is completely obvious JD is only saying that fixing his bike is his only stress relief. Why are you always lookin for trouble man? Are you seriously reading stuff differently then everyone else or is it a show? And if you are such an oppinionated person. Maybe you should just pick what your saying better. 

Whatever CBR Jockey, nobody wants to sit and listen to peoples' personal problems on this forum anyway. Why the hell would he even say hes having trouble "coming up with money to fix his bike" if its not a cry for financial help? I don't trust people, and I even have a hard time beleiving Blindin needed that money for his repo guy. (sorry if that's actually what you used the money towards, but I doubt it)
 
I have given people money in their time of need, but need to fully understand the problem and know they're telling the truth first.
 
I saw a guy in our town, standing on the side of the street, with a sign saying "will work for food" about a year ago. I felt bad for him, so going through the drive-thru at mcdonalds, I bought him a double cheeseburger, and brought it back to him. I even got out of my car, and walked up to him. I handed him the bag of mcdonalds with his burger that I bought him in it, and he proceeded to tell me he "doesnt like ketchup" and didnt want it. I was so pissed.
 
And- I had this guy and gal (who had a VERYYYYY convincing story) come up to me and my old gf with these papers that said 'Mayo Clinic' all over them, with writing. He told me his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, and they needed money to help pay medical bills. I gave him a $50 bill, and read in the paper a week later they were busted for fraud. I have a hard time trusting people nowadays, and think that it was...quote me here... "absolutely amazing" what everyone did for BlindinOrange, and congratulate everyone for coming together and helping him, YET in the back of my mind im thinking he's using this money to pay off the bike, and sit back and enjoy the free money coming in.

Well, Anderson, maybe you have only been around here for three weeks, but if you have not noticed we are like family.  The other members on this site are my brothers and sisters and I would gladly do anything that I can to help them out in a time of need, because I know they would do the same for me.  Nobody is asking for you to donate money to anything.  This is not even the topic at hand, so I'm going to ask you as an adult to stop the hijack in progress and allow the thread to continue as intended.  If that is your personal opinion, that is fine, you have expressed it and we all understand.  Now move on.

Whoa! Speak for yourself, but this if "Forum Blasphemy" i will not respond beyond that, seeing as how i am already on watch its best i dont speak my mind on this.....     
 
Schmidt, well you should watch the episode of SP that aired last night, that might cheer you up, it was funny as hell, and hey watch some old classic fav movies of yours that are comedies, i find that helps, anytime you laugh it helps.
 
 

You have everything to look forward to. You are so young and haven't gotten to experience so many things. Like 18 you can move out and vote and 21 drink and go to bars and clubs and girls are all over the place. None of my friends had bikes til we were in our 20's. I grew up with a single mother gas station clerk too proud to take handouts or government assistance so I scraped by but we had food and shelter and I respect my mom so much for it. My dad bounced on me but these are things that make you better. If I ever have a kid he won't have to worry about me bailing on them. I know if my mother could do it on her own then me with no other mouths to feed better damn well be able to do it. There is nothing in this world worth ending your life for. Suicide has touched almost all of some how and it is never the right thing. My prayers go out to you and hope you pull through and look back on this like a stepping stone to making you a better person for overcoming life's obstacles. Peace.

We almost had a complete week of peace and quite.  Play nice boys.

EZ there AAnderson. Do you seriously think Blindin pulled one over on us? It was our chioce to help! If you didn't that was fine also. We did this in the hopes of helping out someone. If he spent the money to pay his mortgage that is good also. Now the bum, he has chosen his life style and you gave him a hamburger with ketchup on it, well he doesn't like ketchup. Maybe you should of asked him if he wanted anything from McDonalds first. He may prefer Taco Bell...The breast cancer girl "YOU JUST GOT SCREWED"
 
Now I didn't take JD's post as "send me money" I took it like "life sucks and this is why" Im sure all your posts will be scrutinized for hidden meanings now cause I feel your looking for a way to get donations    I j/k but EZ on hitting below the belt when someone is looking for advice.
 
Its also funny your the only one out of three pages of replies thinks that way.

So AA is so upset at being taken by charity scams, time and again (we're from the Mayo clinic, honest! lol), that he blazes in here and kicks a man in the balls when he's down...then smears monkey feces all over BO in the same breath. Hmmm...I've heard of this before, it's uh, what do you call that...projection. Where you try to make yourself feel better by hanging your own issues on someone else. How does it go, oh yeah, here it is: the attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naive or unconscious defense against axiety or guilt. Face it Neo, you'll always trust people a little too much, so come down from your angry-horse and realize that it was only a cheeseburger. It'll be alright.

AAnderson...thank you for your membership.  Can you help me?  I have this guy from Nigeria who wants to send me a million bucks, but I don't have a checking account.  Can he use yours?  It will be cool, and we can split the money....

WTF
I come back to check on this thread and what do I find it's been jacked and a lynching committee has been formed with official sanctioning hey don't mind me, you know I can't cast the first stone. I have done far worse around here but what is he truly guilty of admitting he has trust issues and he got taken himself and is now a cynic or are we lynching him for refusing to cave in  hell, you know, I don't care give me the damn rope AND STAND BACK
now
Is he flame baiting ? MAYBE Do I agree with what he said hell no would I have went after him. Yes, but he did stand down. When told by a moderator to do so  Just keep that in mind

JD, I can't tell you anything, but the truth...

Things will be hard.

They may not get better.

They may even get worse.

But if you give up now, then you'll never have a chance to see if they get better.

things actually seem better..you guys would be surprised what 3 boxes full of bike parts would do.
enough to keep me busy all night tonight and all day saturday..and my fairings showed up..and i think thats all i really need to ride at this point(to keep my headlight on). just knowing i could be riding within a week makes me feel better...as long as the snow just holds off for another week.

thanks to all of you..you are all great people.

Good luck with that. I'll pray for good weather for the both of us.
