WHY AM I A BORN LOSER?

[NEWYORKER363]

Some people are just plain lucky.
Some are not.
Like me.

Consider:

In high school basketball I was the 13th man in a 12-man team. Luckily one player got injured. I was in. I notched TRIPLE-DOUBLE in my 3rd game -- 11 missed field goals, 13 turnovers, 12 stitches. The last I got on my eyebrow from an errant elbow.

In baseball, I couldn't hit, run or throw. But with my Dad as coach, I got in the team. Once I thought I slid safely home, but the umpire called me OUT! I was mad, of course. I stopped my ranting only when a teammate told me that I should not have slid home in the first place because I was just going to bat! 'Nang!

Not only in sports but in romance as well am I a born loser. After a date once, I tried to give my girl a GOODNIGHT KISS. She refused, saying, "Of course NOT! It's only 3 piyem!" SUS!. So I said, "Sorry, Lorna." But she slapped me. "Why, you !%!?@#!*! I am NOT Lorna! I am Linda!"

Ouch!

See?

we are also born winners. count your blessings for sure you have something to count. but, true life sucks every now and then. just right now i feel sore and cranky and tired and lonely and alone and helpless and sleepy and lazy. sometimes we are better off asleep. the circle of life indeed.

[NEWYORKER363]

Sinabi mo.

Life may be sh**ty, but hey, somebody on earth's bound to have a worse deal in life than you, right? :)

[BadGiRL]

NEWYORKER363: of course not. no one is a born loser. i'm sure you are good in something. i believe naman that each has his/her own area of excellence e.

[Tezz]

i don't think that we are or some are born losers. Maybe things just happened @ the wrong place and @ the wrong time. Sometimes it depends how one handle the situation.

[Agent 007]

as they say, it could also be a blessing in disguise... we won't find out until something comes up...

[NEWYORKER363]

Friends,

Thanks for posting in my thread.

But sorry to say. I'm disappointed.

Not one among you get the real message in my post.

I'm very disappointed.

But then, maybe the eggheads in this board are not wasting time in the Internet, but doing at home what makes them eggheads in the first place. Studying.

Hope even one of you gets my drift.

Thanks again,


NewYorker363

newyorker: do u want us to stroke ur loser ego??? gawd, based on ur net personality, u prolly deserve what u get..

[NEWYORKER363]

Jonny,

Sorry. Your comment proves you are another DUD DUDE.

Are you in school? Do you do your homework? Study well, kid. Sharpen what you have between the ears, ok?

Show my post to your English teacher. If he/she didn't even smile -- change teacher pronto! YOU'RE IN THE WRONG CLASSROOM. If he/she did, ask to explain it to you. That's how one learns. By asking about things one doesn't have even a little inkling about.

Go, Jonny, go!

It's not that we didn't get it...it's not that it's too malalim...it's just that it's not as humorous as you thought it would be. In other words, ang CORNY!!!
Ttttsss...kapal naman ng mukha mo kung akala mong mas cerebrally-gifted ka kaysa sa ibang tao.
Hindi ka mas matalino sa ibang tao. Ang babaw lang ng kaligayahan mo kung akala mo na GANON ka nakakatawa yung pinost mo.
Lahat ng nag-post sa thread mo ay nag-contribute ng ultra smart and ultra tactful responses. Now if you think na "wala silang cerebrum", then you need counseling.
Wag ka naman maging bitter if nobody found your joke funny...sorry ka na lang kung corny ka. Maybe you WERE born a loser.

[BadGiRL]

oooppppsss...shouldn't have posted that pala in the first place. well, kasi i'm a what you see is what you get girl, so i have this certain impression that ppl here are too... wrong pala!

oh well, there goes my first effort of being compassionate in this BB. don't worry. it won't happen again.

enjoy being such a loser, NEWYORKER363, and as Jonny said you deserve what you get.

[NEWYORKER363]

Wala man lang yatang may kaunting "cerebrum" sa inyo!

I am very disappointed, considering the famed smartness of Asian students in American schools.

Tatapatin ko na kayo.

I was just being humurous. Yet no one among you see that.

Why? Malalim ba naman?

Tsk, tsk.


NewYorker363

[Jonny]

NewYorker: ur last comment just proves my point how judgemental and assuming u are.. :) I'm not even gonna dignify your scathing comments with any retort.


BaDGirl: You go GiRL!!! ;) hello!

[This message has been edited by Jonny (edited 12-19-1999).]

[bLaCk]

maybe kse,,, you look back on your waterloos... and not on your potentials...

[NEWYORKER363]

Kids,

Am not saying I am more "cerebrally gifted" than anyone. Just that I tested the intellectual "waters" here and found it too shallow, judging from your response.

Truth hurts. But even one million angels cannot say The Truth is false if it is The Truth.

Is this too deep for you?

Am sorry.

Judging whether a statement is sarcasm or a joke or a flat out lie does not measure intellect.

Self-Centeredness does not measure intellect either.

[M!]

"Some people are just plain lucky.
Some are not.
Like me" ...

There are times when I think this way too. Depression hits me from time to time, hating everyone feeling like they've been nothing but unfair to me (even if they really didn't do anything wrong). I guess it's normal for everyone to get depressed once in a while. Just don't dwell on it for a long time. I'm sure there are lots of things you should be thankful of and a lot of good things about you which you haven't discovered yet. :)

[MsEerie]

A possible reason these people didn't get your sarcasm is because you could be a "real" loser and not know it.

or

As Xiaouyu said, your post didn't appear humorous. It might have worked for you but for us it didn't. Mukha kasing totoo yung mga pinagsasabi mo at bagay sa personality mo.

[orano]

well said, MsEerie!

when i first read about this thread, sabi ko, there's something fishy in here... di kasi ako sanay na hindi nagbubuhat ng sariling bangko si NewYorker363 eh!

[lestat]

Nu Yoki, parang kilala kita ah. Ah!! Sigurado ko, ikaw na nga siya. Pupunta-punta ka kasi dito eh iba yata eh ang takbo ng brainwave mo sa kanila, napahiya ka ano?? heh heh heh. Pero subukan nga nating guluhin at baka matuto rin sila. :) :) :)

Mga prens, ehyknohw be nheymehn kahyohw, mesyehydohwng uptight! Smile! Relaks dose peys masels naw, ukish?

[lestat]

Okay, mag-post na nga rin ako ng words of wisdom para tayo maging legit dito.

From your father's first explosion to your reaching the egg first, you won over millions and millions of other tadpoles. Whar does that tell you? Yes!! We are born champions!

And that's the bottom line cause lestat said so!!

[BadGiRL]

lestat: uhh...which came first, the chicken or the egg?

newyorker: get a life will you? who do you think you are? IQ master? duh! sorry.. d kita ma reach nyan...

jonny: hello ;)

[???§ÎNNëÐ???]

sana NEWYORKER363 ganito sinulat mo:

Some people are just plain funny.
Some are hilarious.
Like me.

te hehehe! pero don't worry, life is a box of toblerones ;)

[JDS]

Isn't this ironic???............ :)

[This message has been edited by JDS (edited 12-22-1999).]

[lestat]

JDS, ....huh??

BadGiRL, don't really care which came first ... the egg or the chicken? Basta kung ano ang nandiyan, kakainin ko lahat sila!

lestat

[JDS]

lestat: he starts the thread as a joke but the topic inadvertently fulfills itself.

[BadGiRL]

JDS: LOL! ;) check ka dyan!

[Jonny]

BaDGiRL: How are you?? Merry Christmas :)

[BadGiRL]

jonny: bored! :( am not allowed to go out because of my uno! how r u? anyway...merry christmas din! :)

[NEWYORKER363]

JDS,

Wa dat agin? Dassa mawtpul!

***'s "IRONIC" there?

And *** "inadvertently fulfills itself" with ***?

Please clarify. I'm not into haberdashery, you know, ironing clothes and all that...

Am not also into advertently... I mean advertising.

Lestat, kakatuwa ang mga bata, 'no?

Bronze that!

CAPISH!

:D :D :D

[derfor]

we're all born losers, the best loser wins

[JDS]

BadGirl: :) Merry Xmas!

NEWYORKER363: No need to get sensitive; I just thought it was ironic. First time i read your thread i knew you weren't serious. I probably got it because I'm corny myself, so I got your sense of humor; but there's no need to get all cynical and defensive about people thinking you're corny. It's a tough way to live through life. But if you just get a kick out of pissing ppl off and not seriously getting hurt yourself then that's your choice. Peace! merry xmas

[NEWYORKER363]

Unano, opppsss, sorry, Orano, please elucidate your statement a bit. Example?


Lestat, ** right. Just being born
already made us a winner. Hebigat yon ah, (Marilag, pahiram, hehe. Napunta dito pati hiraman ng asin! Bet these kiddoes are at a loss what we're jabbering about.) ;)


JDS, donk speak too deep naman.


Flare!, I've been observing the range of your postings verbatim and lab it or leaven it, I think I know you, too. LOL. ;)

To a Dokleng, the egg. Ponder that.

[NEWYORKER363]

Sige, Lestat pal,

Iyo na si Badgirl.

[PuNkChick]

i think the idea of being born a loser eh nasa utak lang yan...things aint bad after all...and luck does'nt come ur way every time :D just think of this... everyone fails before they even win ;)

[NEWYORKER363]

Thanks, Slurbrun,

Methinks you're right. Ang buhay daw ay parang gulong ng karo ng magsosorbetes... minsan nasa ilalim, minsan nasa ibabaw. Noon, ako'y matagal na nalagay sa ilalim. Ngayon, awa ng Diyos....
