Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 9:53 AM I don't doubt you did, Lou. You seem to be one of the more intelligent posters here. Now if you only had the balls to tell us just WHERE you went to school, what you studied, and how well you did.... —sick fuck |

Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 10:23 AM S.F., I'll bite. I will be honest when I say that I am wholly embarrased and ashamed of my lack of education. I went from getting 4.0s in high school to a deep depression my junior year that engulfed me and wholly took me under by my senior year. I was taking good classes, scored fairly high on my SATs (higher than some supposedly smarter, lower than those actually smarter), and then bottomed out. Pussy shit, like crying in class, literally banging my head against a wall hoping to induce pain and wanting to rid myself of that horrible "potential" that teachers were almost taunting me with. I was asked to leave high school toward the middle of my senior year because my depression caused me to miss day after day after day. I got the dreaded GED (scored really well in that, but, well, it is what it is), finished one lowly semester in a local junior college (did get a 4.0 there as well, again for what it's worth), then was "urged" to take a summer job which immediately turned into a full-time job, got my co-worker pregnant only about 6 months later, and was relegated to the life of simply working for a living. I had dreams, aspirations, and "potential". Now I'm just surviving with all my "extra" money going to my daughter whom I truly love and see as often as possible (usually 2 times a week). But, you know, good times. —Lou Cypher |

Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 11:16 AM Lou, I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles. Please don't respond to this troll with genuine revelations of your life. He's only looking for victims to exploit. I hope things work out for you, Lou. You've got my best wishes. —Saffeau |

Edited Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 11:53 AM Saff, it's cool, but thanks. Life is what you make of it. While my formal education may be woefully behind those of others (on this board, in life) I also know that I'm no idiot. I think this is one reason that draws me to LoveLine. Adam was poorly educated growing up, didn't attend college and realizes that the college degrees sure do look and sound great, and IS genuinely envious of those who have received them (as am I), he can hold his own with many of them. Your ability to learn and adapt and process information can develop outside of a traditional school setting. Granted, I readily admit that if you were to put a calculus problem in front of me, I may crap myself. However, give me a logic problem, especially a real-world one, and I can more than hold my own. I make an honest living in the medical field, one where every now and then I leave knowing that I helped save a life, and this is where I am. So be it. One thing this dies remind me of, though: I think my next "thread" or whatever these are called will be "Whose Life Could Most Warrant an Entire 2 Hours on Loveline?". —Lou Cypher |
