What's up?

[whippersnapper]

I used to be a good dart player. Could throw the dart wherever I wanted. Had a tourney tonight and got my ass kicked. Never even won a game game. Yeah, been sick and hobbling on crutches but can finally walk and put the crutches away last week. I should have dominated all those SOB but couldn't hit shit. Hate to sound like a pussy but that's what I have turned into.I'm turning into a loser and I don't like it.....

[sammy the blade]

You're not a loser, just in a funk. Everyone gets in a funk from time to time. Hell, I'm a loser if there ever was one but I don't let it bother me cause ain't shit I can do about it. Just have to roll with the punches and keep on trucking, all you can do. Sometimes I think things can't get any better and they may not but life is what you make of it. Things in life you can't change but I just say f#ck it and except it for what it is. Can always be worse, at least you didn't end up in jail.

What Sammy said and at least you can still throw a dart. My shoulder is so messed up right now I can’t even throw a dart. I’m working on it and I hope to be throwing darts and more soon.

Hang in there, Terry! Back in the 80's, I must admit, I too was a pretty darn good dart thrower. But, I also remember being even better when I had a belly full of suds! I recall later years trying, without drinking, and I wasn't quite as good as I once was. Haven't hung out in a bar since the night my Son was born in 1991. I can't even imagine how bad I'd be now. But, maybe you just had a bad night.

No one wants to hear that shit! If throwing a dart defines your life than you're a goner. What I know about you you're more than that.

[sammy the blade]

There's one thing I know for sure is no matter how bad things get it can be always be worse.

Just being honest here boots. It's not about the darts. Just sometimes I get in a dark place and need a time out.I have always been one of those "half glass empty" people. I have a hard time with life and being happy. I'm just a weird Mutha...Fuc

Guess that makes two of us

Terry - I agree with the comments about the probability that you were just having a bad night. Things like that seem to happen in all sorts of situations.

A similar situation hit me just yesterday. I go to the gym most every day trying to fight this getting old thing. So, I'm well calibrated as to how much weight and how many repetitions I can do for each exercise. I was off, way off, on my first exercise. It scared me as I have a recently diagnosed heart condition, so I paused for a few minutes before moving on. Fortunately, I was mostly ok for the rest of the workout. We'll see what the future holds...

Here's the deal: You cannot beat "this getting old thing" Just a part of the circle of life. Lots of things I used to do are no longer on my dance card. Bummer, but I am resigned to this new reality, Still walk a lot!

Mr. Whippersnapper,

Well, if it's any consolation, I hold the record for most consecutive gutter balls back at Mt. Zoomie...

Best regards,

Bonz

Still beats working!

Yes Sammy...I am still working at 65 now. I do plan on working for a bit longer, but I think retirement is starting to look good!

[sammy the blade]

I've never had a job I liked, well maybe one.

[Tom19176]

I have liked several of my work choices over the years.
