Do you ever feel like a second "Truman Show"?

Sat Oct 16, 2004 2:37 am by cardam|ne

In other words do you sometimes feel like things go your way 'cos your part of an organized TV show?

For example, when I was on work experience a long time ago I was a naughty boy and nicked a couple of printer cartridges for my printer at home cos they'd run out... So anyways this turned into some two or three cartridges a day, which I now regret... but the store room was ALWAYS in use, there was always somebody in there, except when I went to get some cartridges lol...

Coincidence maybe...

But then when I was laughing and joking about it with ma little brother, who was four at the time, he said he'd got cameras in his denim jacket buttons... which kinda scared me alot.

Coincidence maybe...

Then when I ever show interest in a girl who I KNOW likes me back, it never works out... My last girlfriend lasted all of two days... On our day off from work I overlay 45 minutes over the time we were meant to meet... Fair enough it happens, but the fact that that night I got 14 HOURS of sleep, which I have NEVER done in my life before... I rarely make 8 hours, cos I can't go back to sleep when I wake up, but I fell back to sleep when i woke up at 9am in the mornin, which I have NEVER EVER done before...

But what I'm getting at is:
Do you ever feel the same way? That your life is a socially engineered TV programme where you have no control over things you want to have control over?

Call me crazy, paranoid, whatever... But there just seems to be too many coincidences in life for me to comprehend...

And I'm sorry for ranting... I've just never told anybdy before lol...

What? HUH?

By the way Cardi - word filters are there for a reason, this site has a family rating. If you use things like a 1 to get around the word filter you KNOW exists to prevent that word..........then you are intentionally negating those filters to post an obscenity.

I warned you once about this before did I not? Please take heed and remember this time. Word filters are NOT their to ruin posting, they are there to stop specific words that are not permitted on a family rated site from being posted.

You won't be warned again.

@cardy - actually yes. I've experienced what you're talking about, on more than one occasion if I was to be honest. However, these sorts of dellusions are one of the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, so be careful

I do sometime feel like my life is all rigged and I'm completely under the control of some rich producer, but my show is more like a sick sadistic comedy.

And Good Morning, and if I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night.

All cars on the road conspire to make my driving experience miserable - and why shouldn't they? they're paid by that big network producer to up the rating of the show that is my life. And you are all phonies. I really don't get how getting DA to create games and getting "Bargib" to set up this "site" on this Al Gore's "internet" (admit it, this "internet" is just one big intranet made up by the network) and then pay all of you to interact with me in the forum will improve the rating. But I guess you are all paid less than my "mom", and definitely MUCH less than my girlfriend.....

Nah. Paranoia comes naturally to people like you and I, Hershey boy.

if your life is a tv show, then what do they do when you're doing...rude things?

Sun Oct 17, 2004 6:17 am by DSQrn

Yeah do they have add's like

"Hey,Hey,Hey! own season three of Jimmy smith's life. Buy it now and get the unrated raw stuff! its to hot for T.V"

i mean, how do they get you to endorse stuff anyhoo?

Until I was 8, I thought the whole world was black and white

My poor dad, that really took some explaining

I used to think that way. Then I soothed my fears by realizing that my life is so damned boring and unremarkable, no one would ever want to watch it or study me.

My life has always been like a roller coaster, massive highs followed by crippling lows and so-on and so-forth. I'm in one of my lows at the moment and looking forward to a high soon. I wish it'd all just be in the middle, but things never seem to work out how I plan them.
