we are so ingrained with the lovely rat race culture of late stage capitalism everyone instinctively believes the more money you earn the better your life regardless of actual happiness

my sister earns like 300k a year and lives the manhattan socialite lifestyle albeit on a budget but she is by far the most miserable of my 3 siblings or people i know period

my stoner friends who scrap by as club musicians are some of the most content chill happy folk i know

i know quite a few stoners from highschool who went on to make millions even but i'm not as close with them so no idea on happiness level there

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
life is a motherfucker and the grass is never greener. accepting this goes a long way towards that content happy chill attitude.

I fantasize about living in a dumpy quad apartment just getting stoned, drunk, and playing video games.

Life is really so much better with wife, kids, career, mortgage, wondering why the water bill spiked, worrying about my cholesterol, etc.

Why can't I just wake up get stoned eat mcdonalds and taco bell and watch TV all day

Was it the disfigurement that bothered him?

He was a supremely handsome fucker I'll give him that. But the accident affected his mind unfortunately. Had many, many surgeries but he was into weed/coke before/after. He had rich parents/only child so whatever he wanted in life he got it. Big time scuba diver/helicopter pilot/monster truck fiend--brought us amazing tickets to see Pink Floyd or Allman Brothers in three different states just so he could get smashed & have us drive him home.

So I can only imagine how tortured/self loathing he became after the accident. Really nice parents but fookin tragic.

Negative on that rock. The guy who was driving said they were in an area that has signs of falling rocks near the highway. One of those rare moments where everyone really hoped he really was self-medicated when that rock came through the window.
