Here is my broken dream:
I am in Woodshop. I was in it last year too. In woodshop, we make a vehicle that is powered by a CO2 cartridge. Every year we race these vehicles. The winner get's to have there name painted on the wall of fame, which has been up there for 30+ years. Last year I won. My name is now up on the Wall. I am, as I previously stated, again in woodshop. I have (actually had) a chance to win twice, thus being the first person ever to win twice in a row. Ever. Well, today I was working on my vehicle (which was nearly finished) and at the end of my vehicle there is a prong, and in between the two points is my front wheel. I broke one of the points off. BROKE IT OFF. I now have a very minimal chance of winning, and my hopes of being remembered, having a legacy, and being important have been shattered. To cope with this I have thrown rocks at bigger rocks, and spent some time yelling at myself in the mirror.

SO anyway, what hopes and dreams have you guys had shattered? I'm trying to make myself feel better by comparing myself to someone else's problems.

In Game & Watch Gallery 4, I had 999 points on Donkey Kong 3, but I got a game over. If that damn bee could have waited two damn seconds to sting me, I would have every damn star in the damn game. DAMMIT.

Also, I caught the love of my life making out with another dude yesterday. Made me feel like crap for a few hours, but I got over it... with the help of a few bottles of Dr. Pepper.

I really feel for both of you guys. Especially you, Ttj...

...not so much about the DK3 score. Anyway, thank goodness for Dr. Pepper, eh?

Joe, I reckon you've still got a fighting chance to bring home gold. Prong or no prong.

Yes, Dr. Pepper is quite helpful.

Jomingo, I'm sure you could still win. I'm sure of it.

Yeah, well I glued it. Hopefully it stays.

Sorry Tiptup JR. That Dr. P's a lifesaver though.

Jomingo, have you had that co2 drag race yet?

Oh, my recent crushed hope; I'm house sitting at the moment, and taking care of two dogs... One of which just ran away. Did I mention that it has just gone midnight here? Anyway, I really hoped this wouldn't happen, but, oh joy... Missing dog. Qyzzy's in trouble.

I'll have to hope he just comes back, then look for him at daybreak if he hasn't.

I didn't read the post before your's and at first Ithought you were talking about Dr. Phil.

It isn't a broken dream, but a crushed HDD
Had bought a 500GB Mybook from WD about a year ago and used it to save Videos (preferably Animes and Top Gear).
And now it crashed 2 days ago. I really hope that a few (not that impormant) digicam-pictures are the only bad loss, but I can't quite remember.
Never ever use external HDD's as streaming devices, if the manufacturer haven't thought about proper cooling.

Yeah, I lost my race. Came in 3rd. Oh well, life goes on.

Ah, bad luck matey. At least you still competed, even with a broken prong. That, my friend, is the champion's way.

Oh, and that dog came back on his own, by the way.

I'm glad to hear that.

Well, now since Qyz's dog has came back (about a month ago XD) I'll tell you my ONLY CRUSHED HOPE.

Having a brother/sister.

Really, blame my mom and dad XD

Oh, you're an only child? Well, you aren't missing much.

Actually, I wish I could say that as a way to reassure you, but I have two brothers who are pretty awesome, so I've gotta take that back. I always wanted to have a little sister that I could look after. My brothers didn't really need any looking after... except from me, when I picked on them...

Ah, so... how 'bout this weather?

My sister is 30 and has 4 kids, ages 12, 10, 8, and 4. My brother is 20, and my other brother is 11. I babysit everyone.

You know, that's for me too. I've always wanted a little sister more than a little brother. I don't know why, I just liked the idea of being the big brother of a little girl =)
One night i dreamt about me having a sister. I did a lot of stuff and even carried her to other places. Then I woke up, and realized it wasn't true D= But what's really cool, is that I woke up with a smile in my face =)

Want mine? Buy one, get one free! (brother not sister)

I actually said sister I have enough with my cousin xD

I know but I thought you were said you wanted a little brother too. I edited it to show that I was saying you could have my little brother and not sister.


Qyz says: Stop messing with peoples' quotes. Seriously.

Oh... then... No thanks!

This post could be misconstrued and make you sound like a sick man.

Then I'll edit it!

Hey I was joking. Besides, the rules say not to edit a post after someone has quoted it. It'll make the topic hard to understand. It's no big deal.

Then I'll edit it again!

Yeah, sorry about that. Didn't mean to start anything.

No.. no... it's ok
Let's end with this off-topic talking =)

Also, I caught the love of my life making out with another dude yesterday. Made me feel like crap for a few hours, but I got over it... with the help of a few bottles of Dr. Pepper.

Fixed

Hold on, that's not your own version of a true story you've endured recently, is it, Cody?

If so, I would have to agree (as if I didn't already...) that DKC > girls.

Indeed, girls come and go, DKC is forever.

School starts tomorrow.

'Nuff said.

In most instances, yeah, but... I dunno.

School started Augest 25 here. Last weekend I had the greatest dream, I was on some Tropical Beach with a DKC-esque jungle behind. There was Miley Cyrus in a bikini serving fruits and I was surfing and got on this huge wave! My skin was also darker than it is now.( Where I live in the summer I come close to black skin and winter it is just tan, its already started cooling down here.) Oh, the beach, the sun, the surf, and then I heard a voice yelling at me to get my butt downstairs for school.
