In our house in uni we had one of those Kellogs stop-o-meters delivered to our address by mistake. We wanted to get it up to 99,999 then see what happens afterwards. It had to be by shaking it, not walking with it.

We got it up to the high 70,000s and one guy sat on it and it reset. It took a long time before anyone picked it up again and it never got above the 60,000s.

:(

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I would like to have an entire day of being completely honest to people. I mean completely, like telling my manager he crawls for the director like an asscretin, like telling that dude at the other side of our department he should stop trying to be funny as no one is laughing, telling the busdriver to stop being a ****ing asshole to everyone because he's the one to blame for having a shitty job, telling my mother in law to stop the bullshittery with her daughter as she isn't a 15 year old kid anymore, telling a person who thinks i'm a very good friend he's a useless materialistic airhead without a clue about what's really important in life and he should stop acting the alpha male as he's scared shitless for his own girlfriend, , same goes for half of my coworkers you see I don't give a shit about your mundane bullshit, or telling that retarded owner of the gym he's doing a shitty job as a businessman and doesn't know a shit about anything at all except for telling fat women to spin for hours on a machine.

That sort of stuff.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

i want to go to sleep in the library in uni. apparentally they do it in canada and other places; but its completely taboo in the uk it seems, and after a 9am lecture a quick nap would do very nicely thanks very much :(

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

i've slept in every library ive ever got books from, just sit down, open a book lean over the table and g'night. Its a tad awkward on the system though, i had to periodically wake up and burb, leaning over traps gasses or something.

i want to dress up as a french maid (tnfs fault)

i want to go without food for a week, perhaps a fortnight, but at least a week.

I want to spend Christmas day walking around the empty streets on my own.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I want to dump my wife and marry a supermodel.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I want to beat my fathers FreeCell 'games won in a row' record.

He's at 1500+ now :/

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I want to win euromillions and go back to college so I can **** around.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I did that several times at my uni library, just find a nice quiet corner and chill out!

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I probably should have been more specific. My flatmate says in canada, they just take blankets in with them and curl up under the desks and go to sleep under a warm blanket. Falling asleep in a chair isnt impossible, but it is quite uncomfortable. I want to just unashamedly ko lying flat on my back somewhere

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

Have a crack, It's University I doubt anyone would really bother you! I had a friend who got locked in the library over night. He was sitting at his computer with his headphones on, next minute lights and power went out.

He came out at 6am when the cleaners moved in. Was quite a funny story, he didn't have a mobile, nothing so he just sat there all night waiting for someone to come. I guess you could do it that way!

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I hear the rare book rooms at our Uni Library are the 'it' places to take a nap. **** all people use them, they are air conditioned, dark and quiet.

I don't expect many people will care. Students tend to crash in the library all the time here. It just makes good sense - where else would you go on campus to find somewhere quiet for a nap?

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

But I'm a creep?

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

you're a fatty?

cause there's this thing about fatties I've read on these boards a while ago..

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I think that only counts for women. Speaking as a relatively thin male I can assure you women prefer more meat on their men. Eventho I look great naked, it doesn't really show when wearing clothes.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I LOL'd on reading this.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

no because you'd be trying to lord over me and that wouldn't be cool and i wouldn't be your internet friend like i am now and that would be really bad but you wouldn't care would you with all your ambitions to rise above your friends and that's pretty sad dude and now i'm pretty sad you were nicer before you came socially acceptable dude.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

Also, I don't think this is pathetic just a little improbable: I'd like to meditate for around 3 hours minimum one day.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

actually that's quite a good point, is everybody that has ambitions a sad person because they want to rise above their friends?
it's a bit like jealousy.. if you're jealous at your best friend for having a hot girlfriend (or just a healthy relationship opposed to the ones you have/don't have).. does that make you a lousy friend?

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I meant a wanker, I don't see why you"d be emotionally sad just because you have ambitions.. unless they're out of reach maybe.

yeah that's what I thought aswell, some **** tried to convince me otherwise tho a while ago

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

They have medication for this if it's really that much of a problem.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

i might not like you if you were cool and good looking.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

Theres a very important distinction between having ambitions which would have the effect of you rising above your friends, and wanting to rise above your friends. If someone's major ambition is just to be better than those around them then yeah, I'd say thats pretty sad.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

When i'm sitting in the bus I often want to cut a large chunk hair off from the head of some random person sitting in front of me
The person isn't supposed to notice it

I think the trick would be to pick a person with long hair and put pressure on the part where his or her hair makes contact with his or her seat



This would be my first step in becoming a true ninja; a master of stealth :)

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

Friedrich would be most displeased.

Although having said that, the master/slave relationship in Nietzschean philosophy, when considering the will to power or otherwise, doesn't necessarily imply that one's friends would be the slaves.

Ideally, they would be of course!

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I'd like a blowjob.

Call me a simpleton if you must.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I want to get rid of this ****ing depression and fatigue.
I want to go out and see Late of The Pier and Foals play tonight but I can't due to fatigue induced by medication + busy Friday.
I want to stop myself from crying.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

To watch all three Godfather films in one day.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

to create gd in the realistic world

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I've done it!! :)

Watching all 10 parts of Band of Brothers in one day would be something to brag about though. I've attempted it but something always distracted me and the farthest I've gone is the first 4 parts.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I want to never see any of the lotr movies ever again.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

ive done this.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

I'd like to build a fort in my living room and spend the day watching a series of 24 in it with my friends.

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

As a person who has no real ambitions (except the winning the lottery or marrying a supermodel that's faithful and have kids that listen to everything I say and never get into trouble) I can't really make that distinction. I'm not gonna claim that on some level my wish to marry a supermodel has nothing to do with having a hotter wife than my friends, since the whole "essence of being" kind of turns around comparing what you have with what other people around you have.
You can't really feel good about yourself if everybody around you has everything better than you, right?

Not sure if I can get accross what I'm trying to say here..

Re: Pathetic Ambitions
 

"Keeping up with the Joneses" is an ingrained part of Western culture nod - while it might be sad/pathetic, there isn't much we can do about it.
