I haven't been here in a while. I'm just kinda burned out. I don't ride my bike much anymore, I don't think I even have the strength to kick it over. The '34 Ford's sitting there waiting for me to fix it's shock crossmember. The '60 Brookwood's fine, just drives back and forth to work. I took my '54 Chevy out and actually washed it. Nothing's much fun these days, not even boozing. Music's still OK, it's the only thing keeping me sane. My back hurts like hell, it's hard to sleep at night. I'm thinking about going to see a psychiatrist.
Cheer up man - you need a show to go to or something, do a burn out that always helps. - I too have not been had the work bug, but it comes and goes when the schedule allows.
man i said the same **** like a month ago. i started eating better, taking vitamins, going to sleep at a decent hour, and took a trip to cali. and jeez do i feel better! but good luck on getting your motivation back man. take care -zack
Sorry to hear about your back... im dealin with the same **** right now and KNOW where you are comming from... i think you can skip the head shrinker and you simply need to get ****faced, and seriously laid by three or four 19 year old college chicks man glad to see ya back, i was kinda wondering if the 'cane blew ya away or something... hope ya get to feelin better soon bro Traves
I'd go see a DOCTOR! You might have some health issue thats resulting in you feeling like you do. Lying on a couch won't help you with an internal issue and some health problems will show themselves with the symptoms you describe. Wish you all the best...
Dr. Hayes here You have depression. You need to take your HotRod and go on a weekend trip in it alone. Meet up at your destanation with some other HotRod guys. Stay at a Motel on the beach. Look a beautiful Florida girls. Talk about the topics that make you feel good. This is HotRod Therapy. Please send money to Dr. Hayes for his services, so he can use it for parts for his HotRod.
1.Get laid. 2.Get more laid. 3.Repeat. 4.Repeat again. 5.You will now escape to the garage to get some rest. 6.After sitting in a chair there for awhile,theres a big risk that you will pick up some tools,and slowly start working. This six-step program is brought to you by dr.zodoff.
Look under the bed. That's where I find things that are lost sometimes.... I hope you get it back, you are missed, and the newbies are getting away with murder without you and Germ around...
Come on up, man. A week in God's country and you'll have a whole new outlook. Seriously... if you even think you need to talk to someone, DO IT. We all know the answers, but it takes the right questions... It seems you're on the right road, and I'm proud of ya... and, you know there's a whole world of people who care about ya. JOE
Bro! I felt the same way, then i figured out what to do.. "get out of florida!" Johnny still hangin out? Tom Cat? anyways.. things will look up!See ya around Neal0o
Here will this help?????? Quit bein a whimp and actin like a gold chainer next thing ya know you will be payin someone to build you a billet barge.Snap the **** out of this haze fire up that bike,drive that rod,go spend some time with draglinks hes gonna need your help with that ironhead.I know this started during your childhood so resort back to acting like a grown manchild and all will be better again. Now that we have went thru the shrink session my bill will be in the mail Shoe
Nads, Grab your *** and go see a doctor. This dont sound like you and you may very well be having a health problem.... High BP, VD, or hard telling. now get your *** in gear.! PJ
I know you prolly wouldn't like some Joel Osteen message coming at you, so... Quit being a ***... Remember, you are my favorite *****.
Chronic pain and lack of sleep can really skew your veiw on life. Be sure to see a doc about the back pain (I reckon that you already have), it sounds to me like that may be the root of your funk (but what do I know?). Try to stay positive, you have a nice family, a roof over your head, some cool machines and some good freinds. You're doing all right. Also, if you think it might help, by all means, go see the head shrinker. Hang in there man, Mike
Nads is a *****? Daayuum.....! Seriously, good luck with getting the drive back.. I tend to fall into the "oh **** I've got so much to do I don't know where to start", then I do nothing.. ty making a list every day and get one or two things marked off the list, makes you feel like you've accomplished something anyway... Brian
Go see your family doctor. Sounds like you're suffering from depression. If you are, he'll give ya' some drugs to help ya' outa' it. If not, then just ask him to give ya' a good swift kick in the *** as you're payin' the bill on the way out the door .
Get your back checked out! I ignored the pain(self medicated) and worked through it.Big mistake.For the past 15 years I've needed largs amounts of pain killers just to function.Get healthy and the drive will come back.
Nads, Daytona is only two months away, get off your *** and get one of the cars ready for that. Once you get there, you will feel a whole lot better. Hopefully I'll see you there, but if your back is bothering you, do what the others have suggested, see a doctor!
NADS! READ THIS . It's exercises my wife uses to relieve and readjust the sliding lumbar she has. She was having back pain about 5 or so years ago, went to Dr. and ha said "We will fuse 5 vertebrae" So I asked her if he was a surgeon and the answer was yes so I asked her to check out some holistic medicine first and she found a Dr. who's first and only answer to everything wasn't to cut and she started doing some exercises similar to Yoga. You know, Yoga? Like the 105 year old people back in the old country still do? Anyway, she still hasn't had any surgery. She does Pilates at the Gym at Honda every day (They have a complete health spa and gym, and tennis courts, track golf putting green etc. where she works, tuff huh?) and she goes mountain and rock climbing damn near every weekend. That exercise ball the site mentions? She uses one instead of a makeup table stool. (We have all seen you in makeup so don't lie) Do some Yoga like your grandma and you'll start feeling like getting laid like all those guys are suggesting above. Sincerely, DrJ
pain ****s, it makes it tough to do even the little things, but you know what i mean when i say 'it could be worse'. cars are supposed to be fun, so go have some. hugs and kisses...
Nads, I don't know ya but I enjoy your posts. A man needs to beware when he finds no joy in anything in his life. I am the same way alot of the time. I hope you figure it out though, you are important to us here. Gabe
Brian- That's really good advice. I know, too, what it's like to feel crushed. For me, sometimes, I need to find the "Kryptonite" that's draining me and blast it into space. Identify what ****s and get it out of your life. I've known P.T.S.D. and I'm willing to bet those storms are taking a toll on you NADS and millions of others. I felt it on 9-11 and I live nowhere near New York. I feel it now, over the devistation in the South... If the threat never goes away, the stress doesn't either. Don't puss-out and fail to talk it out with someone... and, know it's okay when you need to sit right down and cry. (I'm not a doctor, but, I play one on TV) JOE
