On another note - it's always easy to give good recommendations, and I would possibly give the same to someone who complains about life the way I do but it's hard to change yourself. I'd need someone who actively drags me out of doors..

And enjoying life... I think I stopped doing that a long time ago...
AHA! Thats the problem! Stop that crap! Socializing is not made to be constructive! Unless the function of the event is that which 99% of the time it isnt, like our great thread here

Heh! Someone complained about "kids today", and I had to chuckle -- it was in my generation that high schools began the transition into what became "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", that was a long time ago!

So, whatever "ills" the kids of today had were definitely inherited!

You know, I wear a shirt and tie at university as a student, and trousers.
(On that note, trousers made from wool are great, light and soft )

I don't have a single pair of blue jeans - or jeans of any colour...

Well, yeah, you might sound too aggressive to hippies and surfers who have a relaxed attitude. In fact they would probably just tell you, "Duuuuuuuude, relaaaaaaaax!"

The rest of Cali would say instead, "Chill, dude!"

-> Just because you are all talking about Leica a friend of mine told me what it means in Russian

It's the descriptive name of the barking of a dog.

I wear a shirt and tie because i work and have too. WTH man take the tie off and leave the stiff at home. Put a tshirt on, get some blue jeans and sneakers. We need to start you off looking relaxed before you can feel it!
