    Re: Off Topic 2014

    I can't wait for the day that I'm actually satisfied with my life. I'm not sure it will ever even come. I'm perfectly happy right now, but I'll be 25 in less than a week. I can't help, but sit here all ready asking myself, "Holy **** Chase, where the **** has the time gone ?". I've got a best friend of 20+ years that has a child and is getting married next year, a niece that just started kindergarten, and I'm living in *** **** Japan of all places.

    I've been talking to a girl on FB that I dated when I was 15. We were talking about it and then I realized that was almost 10 years ago.

    Hell, I joined OS before I was even a Senior in HS at 17 years old.

    Life changes and moves so fast sometimes that we don't take the time to realize it or appreciate it. I've got friends from HS who have Masters Degrees and are teachers molding today's youth.

    It's only going to get worse, I know. I've got a long way to go. If I could go back in time and talk to 18 year old Chase I could set myself up for a lifetime of success. I doubt it would even work. I would be so hard headed that I wouldn't listen to myself. I had more important **** to do and I thought I had it figured out.

      Enjoy right now, Chase. Keep your goals and ambitions and figuring out how to better yourself, but enjoy now. Don't base what you need to be doing off others. I know all of that is cliche, but it's the truth.

        Restaurant quality? These. Hands down. Nothing even comes close.

                  I want FIFA really bad, but I'm so invested in Season 2 of my Madden Franchise and I still miss my FIFA 14 Real Valladolid Career. I'm halfway through Season 2. I wonder if it's enough improvement to warrant a purchase.


                  No EASHL means I'm holding out until next year for NHL.. or a price drop.

                    From all the stuff you've posted about your jobs and where you are now, you are the last person who should be doubting their path so far. You're a well rounded dude and a go-getter. You can tell there's a fire inside that won't allow you to ever truly fail. Don't forget that.

                    You'll find your calling man. A girlfriend, marriage, kids, career... those will come. You never know when you're gonna meet that someone who changes the whole course of your life or an opportunity comes along that throws all your old plans to the wind.

                    Appreciate your journey and what you're doing now. The future will figure itself out.

                    We're around the same age. There was a time when I was like this guy is overseeing a whole department at a big time retail store, or this guy is flipping cars, or this dude is going into the Navy and I'm stuck working in a stock room. Yeah, I'm lucky and was able to marry my HS sweetheart, but you seemed to have the professional side of things covered. Things you could control. Everyone has their own way and path to their goals and dreams. Don't discredit yourself.

                        Shoutout to Chase for also quarter life crisising around the time he turned 25. Good to know I'm not alone on this.

                          Count me into the quarter life crisis crew. I got over it quick though. With beer.

                              Quarter life crisis is very real. Next stop., 1/3 life crisis at 30.
