depends on your imagination.

one of the ways that i get rid os stress.... is listenin to my ipod... pull blast.... and just gettin lost in all of my music....

as for becommin a dad.... its not as bad as u would think... i never wanted kids and now have 3...

keep ur head up !

You'd have to decide to be happy. If you end up being a dad.. well.. you did the deed.. you'll just have to put a good face on the deal.(I'd get a paternity test too, just for giggles you know..)
You don't have to have money to be happy. If I had to have money to be happy, I'd never be happy.
Clean your house, wash your car, cook something really tasty for someone you know, and take it to them. Ever baked someone a cake? Do it. Everyone appreciates a cake!
Clean, measure, weigh, picture all your snakes. Plan what you'll breed later, plan what you'd like to get for your cornsnakes later for breeding projects.
You can be misrable with a million dollars, or happy with none. It's all you, man!

I want to thank you all for your suggestions. I am not sure really anything is helping right now. Just too many things going on I guess. Of all things, I have resorted right now to sleeping. When there is no one around I sleep. It isn't restful but I don't have to face anything.

I am having some tryin' times too bro :( I usually cheer myself up short-term by watching funny youtube cartoons.

Someone posted out here somewhere on "finishing strong" or something like that. This guy with no arms or legs manages to find satisfaction in what he does. Someone help me dig it up. You might be able to get some perspective after watching it. In my opinion, it is all a matter of perspective. You know, the count your blessings and such. I know, it sounds hokey, but it really does help me. I'm a manic depressive gal. The doctor prescribed some meds and I decided, No Way, Jose! So, when I get in my depressive state, I externalize. I stop dwelling on myself and start looking outwards. I started out with my very first dog (gosh, this was 20 years or so ago). Taking care of that mutt really made me learn to externalize - to put all of myself into another being - even if it's a dog that is indiscriminate of its affection. Then, I started thinking of bigger things - like one time, I took my guitar to my super old neighbor and we sang songs off a fakebook. She loved it! She talked and talked and talked about her family who doesn't visit her anymore and her late husband and all these crazy stories she had. It was great. Although, she's a mean old lady - she scratched up my other neighbor's face for planting a bush that blocked her view of the street. At that time, I also had a paraplegic neighbor who lives on his own. He is always needing something but is too proud to ask. He would wait for his weekly companion to do stuff like change a lightbulb. So, when I'm in this depressive mood, I would just pop over to his house and bug him for all the things that need doing in his house. After I got married and had kids, everything that was ME was put in the back burner. Everything now is externalized. Dang, I can't worry about how my butt is getting too big, or that I don't recognize any of the titles in the new DVD releases since I haven't been to the movies in years, or how I have no money for anything or whatever. In comparison to an infant with an ear infection, it just all pales in comparison. So yeah, my kids are my life and they give me a reason to get up every morning with a big grin on my face! So, yeah, this baby might just be what you need!
Sorry, I don't know why I have this tendency to ramble on and on and on...
