luxury ladies watches 2012 image
Magic sky
I am thinking that when I leave home, if I hadn't turned out successful at all and I have to live in some shoddy apartment on the bad side of town or something bad like that, that all my life I have been setting up a small investment to buy survival gear (like knives, ropes, medkits, firestarters, and such.) if the time comes, I will get all this stuff, find a girl (who is willing to do this with me,) and got rent a boat. I will then go out and find a desolate island in the carribbean and survive there because I will have a better chance there than I would at home. I know that for a fact. period. I have watched survival island movies and documenaries, every episode of man vs wild, survivor man, and woman man wild. I love guns and knives, I can build shelter with just sticks in under an hour (extremely hard to do,) and I can start a fire with a magnifying glass. everyone I know says that I have good brains and they would choose me to live with if a zombie apocalypse or something starts, and I think I am going to become a failure at life. is this a good "plan B?"
everything I said is serious, too. I really want to know.
I have gone survival camping a bit and it turned out fine.
oh. and most species of fish are large, fleshy, and edible (if you can catch them. a reel isn't that much, is it?) a spear works too.

I feel sad that your perception of how your life may turn out is so bleak. I am sadder to realize that many of your generation feel the same way.
I fear your ambition may be a tad unrealistic. First, I find it highly unlikely that you will find a girl willing to leave her family, her life, modern luxuries, etc. to join you on this excursion. Second, the human species evolved as a social creature. We simply do not do well with limited (or zero) interpersonal contact. Even our very anatomy is predicated on the fact that we have always operated with others by our sides. One semi-serious accident out in the bush (or on your island) could incapacitate you for awhile. When your survival depends on your efforts alone, something as seemingly trivial as a tooth abscess could end up killing you. Even an infected cut on your foot that makes hard to walk could keep you from securing enough food or water to survive.
However, you have expressed a desire for an 'unconventional' lifestyle. here is a link with information on how to become a park ranger:
http://www.nps.gov/personnel/rangers.htm
The link is for the National Park system, but that is by no means the only parks out there (state, county, etc.). Often, parks need folks who will sit in fire towers for months on end ready to radio in forest fires. Here's a link to an open fire lookout position: http://www.dnr.wa.gov/Lists/Job%20Openings/Attachments/773/2012_9131.pdf (just so you can get an idea of the requirements).
Out of the park system, there are logging companies that pay folks to walk the wilderness planting little seedling trees to reforest the landscape. You get to 'survive' in the bush for weeks at a time, but get paid and don't have to give up all modern conveniences completely.
not to squash your dream, but it is highly unlikely you could even find a suitable island just by launching a boat aimlessly. Most habitable islands are occupied, and those that aren't are often frequented by smugglers and the like. Not the best prospect for you and your lady friend.
Check out some other careers. Remember, success is what you make of it. You don't have to have the typical 9-5:00 job in an office with a boss breathing down your neck. You don't have to drive the flashiest car or make the most money to be successful. If your needs are simple, you can be happy anywhere, doing just about anything.
Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do.

People making rude comments about pale skin?
Elysium
I'm naturally very pale and that's just fine by me, but every summer I get bombarded by the same types of comments. Some of the people making the comments are my friends, but some are people I barely even know. Why do people feel like it's ok to walk up to me and say things like: "Wow, I bet you glow in the dark.", "Don't you EVER go out in the sun? Do you live in a dungeon or something?", "You know, it wouldn't kill you to go tanning once in a while...you could use it.", "You're pretty, but you really need a tan!", or just laugh and make some condescending remark like "Oh my gosh, look at your pale legs! That's so funny!" I don't understand why so many people seem to feel that it is acceptable to say things like that. I always want to tell them that if they wouldn't walk up to a heavy person and say "Lose some weight, tubby!" then they shouldn't say "Go get a tan, glowstick!". I'm not self conscious about being pale at all and I don't wish I was tan - I just want to know what to say when people put me down for my skin color. I always have to fight the urge to say something rude, but I also don't want to just keep laughing it off and letting people think it doesn't bother me. Has anyone else ever been in this situation before, and if so, what's the best way to handle it?
Answer
THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! Friends do not hurt & say mean things to the other! You'll have the last laugh, when you meet up with them again, 30-40 years from your HS graduation! Continue taking good care of your pale skin. In the long run, you'll look younger than they do, by the time you're 50 or 80.
I have Discoid Lupus, and I wear my umbrella. I also sometimes wear my floppy hat. I actually wore floppy hat all 4 years of my HS, and it was fashionable back in the 70's. In Asia where I came from 95% of the people there use umbrella to protect them from the heat, among other reasons. But in other countries where BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, and tanning is beautiful . . . they're very ignorant about pale is REALLY beautiful. Sometimes, along the way, while wearing my umbrella, I'd hear someone say: "Is it going to rain today?" "or is it raining outside?" etc. What they really don't know is that: there are skin diseases related to tanning. Aging is the reason why people are into buying anti-aging products, and why dermatologist have better skin than those who tan. There are as many tanning lotions sold out there, as there are whitening products from soap, skin creams, and lotions but cancer is also rising. Skin Lighteners and Anti-aging Treatments: May Contain the Toxic Metal, Mercury.
What they also don't know is that tanning causes them to get moles, freckles, skin tags, melanoma or worst skin diseases like Bullous Pemphegoid, vitiligo, ski discolorations permanently from lotions etc.
Watch Mirror, Mirror when the evil queen played by Julia Roberts wanted to look as fair as the princess played by Lily Collins. I came from a vacay in Ireland, and many of the people there working in the profession (luxury hotels and banks, etc.) have beautiful white complexion!

You DON'T NEED TO SAY anything to them. "Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." keep repeating those children's rhyme, and you'll do just fine. Christina Aguillera has a song called "Beautiful". Or Bruno Mars, "Just the Way You Are." Listen to them.
Been there, I know what it's like. I did without anyone's help, no teachers, no parents, no friends. Think positive and have confidence, without those two, you can't make it into the world. It's up to you to change, since you can't CHANGE THEM.
Lady Gaga, go listen to some of her music. She's a good example of one that was bullied in middle school.
I'm almost 60 now, and I still get those bullies once in a while. It's a tough world, but only YOU can do it. But I have flawless skin, same as that of some 30 something person!
