I just made a calendar on two year at work, 2020 - 2021 ....
2020
2021...
TWO THOUSANDS AND TWENTY ONE!
It gives me anxiety... Its a year that was unimaginable when I was a kid, it was the future. We're there. I was a kid yesterday. I'm old. I'm having a midlife crisis.

- Seriously contemplating a jump from "comfortable but feeling of emptiness" to "delight and fullness, but no wealth." Near-poverty is preferable to emptiness.e-wo
- I agree, practicing minimalism and simplicity is possible, we buy too much stuff.Bennn
- buying stuff supports a workforce. no products to buy > nobody making anything > no jobs > homelessness for everyone. capitalism is the cure my boy.imbecile

Go to an Ayahuasca retreat, puke your brain out, come closer to the verge of death and maybe when you come back you'll have a different perspective on life or you'll completely lose your shit and live like a crazy hobo for the rest.
I never did this, just saying it from others' experiences.

Is this my weekend rogue - midlife crisis post? but in a quiet place, Hehheh...
---
I remember logging into this place when hanging at my (then) girlfriend's dorm at Columbia in 2001/02, ...Newstoday. God that was a long time ago. After 17-18 years on the qoob, it's time for me to say farewell.
Sadly, I never really got to share 100% of myself here, just surface level but some of you have shared in my triumphs... and I, yours... over the years. So grateful. I have to admit that I'm a better person on the planet because of this place.
Shoot me an email if you'd like to stay keep in touch IRL / visit whenever you're in town or I'm in your town (looking @ a few of you)
Love to you guys.
- Godspeed, notypeGnash
- Why leave?eryx
- Wow 555 soul, yeah long ago when we had lots of DJs and events, I remember stuff at TKNY before DKNY sent him a cease and desist. The old days...robotron3k
- I had a dope pair of Triple 5 Soul cargo pants that were my favorite. <<< Signs your getting old?fooler
- Never understood these sorts of farewell statements...it’s a website you either visit sometimes or don’t.yuekit
- And I’d like to announce I’m formally leaving my newspaper subscription. Has been a blast but I need to let go. Bye my sweet friend.BusterBoy
- after more than 10 years visiting this place. people feel attached here.pango
- alright man. keep in touch.pango
- Why leave? I think I'll feel like I was part of something bigger if I am still reading this at 80.
Enjoy the retirement notype!formed - I don't get why you should leave, either.
But OK. You are, so see ya.Continuity - It's just a website bro, anyways take care...robotron3k
- Why are you leaving? We're losing members every weeks, is it the downfall of the QBN? Are we too old for this? Whats happening? So many questines!Bennn
- It has been a pleasure notype, good luck with everything and hope you'll come back! Ciao!Bennn
- maybe hes being sent down? ... no internet accesswoowahesque
- these goodbyes are so funny to me. a cry for help? maybe. hehe. best of luck (seriously). don't die and stuff. stay pretty.showpony

38, I bought a house 6 years ago with my fiancee. We broke up, been living alone in the suburbs for a couple of years. I put up my house for sale this week. Sent out word to everyone I know to take all my stuff. I gave away half my clothes. I don't value things anymore. I only need the essentials.
Arranged my job so I can work remotely full-time. Now I'm going to decide on moving to LA, close to NY (Queens, Brooklyn) or out of US. Excited about a new life but also terrified and anxious. It'll be like this for a few months until the house is sold. Then, I'll be traveling. Maybe in my travels, I'll find a new home.
- holy shit, I think I always thought you were another QBNer!
. Anyway.
Sounds like a plan, especially the cutting down on 'things'. I need to do more of thatNairn - do i know you?vwsung18t
- haha, No not at all - we've just been visiting the same site for nearly 20 years! For some reason I had your handle here as the original pseud for someone elseNairn
- sounds like depression.imbecile
- yeah so crazy that some of us have been around here for so longvwsung18t
- if you value a 'thing' so will someone else, so then you've go to protect, insure, lock up that 'thing'... and that's how you spend your life.shapesalad
- if you value being in the moment, aligned with the rotation of the earth. if you value life and simply being here alive on earth.. no one can take that.shapesalad
- it's a daily challenge.shapesalad
- but I like your plan.shapesalad
- thanks. i'm also seeing someone for the first time since my ex. maybe it'll become somethingvwsung18t
- I recommend motorbike routes over Northern Southeast Asia, you can still get internet access in the small towns...robotron3k
- Thanks robo. I think I heard that motorbiking in Vietnam is cool. I will look into it.vwsung18t
- Sounds rough, but also sounds like you're pulling through. A sabbatical is great if you can swing it - get your mind clear.ben_
- Accepted an offer on the house. Closing at the end of June!vwsung18t
- ...but Girl I was dating for 2 months just broke upvwsung18t
- ...now the buyer is pulling out so I have to find a new buyervwsung18t
- holy shit, I think I always thought you were another QBNer!
