Sigh.
Why am I making maps? I don't enjoy it at all…
At the contrary; My ambition to exceed blizzard's map designers stresses me.
 
Reading books and cycling.
Perhaps the fact that I spend most of my time on my computer is the cause of my strong dissatisfaction about my life… Or perhaps any hobby is as boring as playing on the computer.
 
I have the same problem as you, i used to play a lot of starcraft and always wanted to make an awsome rpg, but no matter what I did the map would never be fun for me because I had made it.
I now spend most of my time trying to just figure out new triggers and help others because its the challenge that I like.
With map making you are always looking at the people who play it for satisfaction.


And if you haven't tried playing paintball you should, its a bit expensive, but its the funnest game in the world! =)
 
Lol well if it comes to women it depends on the type of woman it is...and trust me when I say there are some deceptive biznitches out there.
 
Paintball will never stop for me, I have been shot in the side of the head and in the berries from point blank, it just takes a bit longer to get up when it happens =P

Then I hunt down the bastard the next game =)

I'm currently trying to set up my own private course in my backyard, I just can't get enough.
 
Perhaps the fact that I spend most of my time on my computer is the cause

at your age, yes it probably is. Its pretty important for kids your age to get a decent amount of physical exercise into their lives. Methinks you need to cycle more, or take up another sport. I really don't know why you are trying to "conquer the world" at only 13 with this mapping thing, but I think you should stop for awhile and do something else. That's my 2 cents anyway :)

LOL !

ROFL!!!!!!!! lol!! Hey mind; I never knew you were 13, [same page] wouldn't ya know it! I'm 13 too!! [off page] My birthdays june 13th, so ill be 14 soon. :p
 
I knew you're 13 and were born the 13th of June.

I know why kids like me need physical exercice: It diverts their attention of their sorrows.
Well, cycling is one of the "sports" that does not divert your attention. While I cycle, I worry. While I read a book, I worry. While others make exercices in school, I worry.
The only thing that does divert my attention is humor.
It's not even my intention to be diverted from my sorrows. It's my intention that my scream will be answered…

Oh, never mind. I'm deviating from the subject.
 
=/ I felt the same way you do now a while ago.. :( sux dont it? BUT! Some humor will cheer u up eh? Heh.. well it just so happens ima really funny guy. :)
Heres some jokes for ya!

How do salespeople traditionally greet each other?
"Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm better than you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A man who is driving a car is stopped by a police officer.

The Officer: "You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone."
Man: "No sir, I was going 60."
Wife: "Oh, Harry. You were going 80."

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light."
Man: "Broken tail light? I didn't know about a broken tail light!"
Wife: "Oh Harry, you've known about that tail light for weeks."

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt."
Man: "Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car."
Wife: "Oh, Harry, you never wear your seat belt."

Man turns to his wife and yells: "Shut your damn mouth!"
Officer turns to the woman and asks, "Ma'am, does your husband talk to you this way all the time?"
Wife: "No, only when he's drunk.

A joke

Here`s one for ya Mind. It probably sounds much better in Serbian, but what the hell...

A bunny is hopping through the forest, and suddenly he sees a badger getting high by the river :D . The badgers got some heavy weed on him. The bunny comes up to the badger and says:
Hey badger, my man, gimme some of that fine stuff you`re having.
The badger gives him a little, and the bunny moves on really happy.
Now the bunny stumbles across his old mate, the fox.
Bunny says: Hey, fox dude, the badgers got some heavy shit on him.
When the fox hears this, he runs to the badger.
Fox: Hey, badger.... wazaaaaa hehe.... let me have some.
The badgers already getting a bit irritated, since everyone is asking him for weed, but he gives the fox some...
Fox is all happy now, and hes going through the forest, when he sees the beaver.
Fox: Yo, beaver... go check out the badger, hes by the river and he`s got some... mighty good stuff
Now the beavers running to the river... When he finaly comes to the badger he says:
Hehe baaadger.. we have always been good pals man... let me have some... plz, plz, plz
Badger: OMG... here you go, n get lost.
The beavers happy now, but a few minutes later, as he goes through the forest, he feels like having some more of that badgers pot... so he runs back to the badger.
Badger: FFS beaver go away...
Beaver: Plzzzzzzzz man.... just a bit more.. plzzzzz
Badgers pissed now but he gives him the stuff, but the beaver cant get enough
Beaver: Heheheeey Badgerrr... hehehe... gimme.... heh... the...uhh... stuff.. liiiittle bit more
Badger: Fuck off beaver...
But the beavers begging and begging, so finaly he gives him some more.
The beaver leaves... and now hes all H I G H
He stumbles across the bear.
Bear: Hey, whats up beaver?
Beaver: River..... badger.... weed.... good....
The bear rushes to the river...
He sees the badger and says:
Hey, badger... gimme some weed

And the badger says, all pissed:
"OH FUCK OFF BEAVER.... LOOK AT YOU MAN..."

BwaHaHaaaaa
 
Now we're deviating even more from the topic. I don't wish to read endless messages containing jokes. If humor is the only thing I can enjoy in my life,…
 
Pff.. Cmon man. Come outta dat shit. Listen.. Heres a little history lesson for ya:

Septembed 2003: I started to like someone.. and decided to ask them out.
I did, and in doing so, *ucked the rest of my life! I went out w/ her, 3 days after we'd been going out i asked her if she wanted 2 come over to my house.. she did, so we got there.. blah blah blah, noone needs to know this part of the story.. blah blah blah.. ANYWAY! I was really suicidal back in 7th and the begining of 8th grade . . . I tried it, *multiple times* but never suceeded. YES, even now i still go to counceling. NOT cool. The point is: Don't do what i did for a long time.. seriously screws your life up.. Another thing: I pulled that one in class once.. i was writing a note 2 my g/f and mr ***** (my teacher whose name will remain anonymous) .. i had told her I was thinking about killing myself last night, he called DHS on me, and then sent me 2 counciling. ALMOST got arrested for it because i said i thoguht about klilling someone else 2.. =/ Heh. thats the end of my stopry. Hope it meant something 2 u..
 
Erm, no. I realized i *ucked up. Np now. i dont cry.. :confused: Eh.. lol, I cant remember the last time i cried.. llooooooooong time ago.. heh. that doesn't need to be discussed..

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales
