Home - splitting a house that has been duplexed on a lake with some great and interesting people, rent is fair, bills are low, and the environment is killer...
Girl - great, I've been with same awesome chick for two years now, no kids, no aspirations for kids yet...
Job - good, I got my ends sured up, no debt, management position, bennies, and I get to work as little or much as I desire...
Family - only child estranged from the parentals since I could function on my own...
Money - gentlemen never speak of how much money they have nor who they vote for...

thinking about overall satisfaction is strange when it comes to life. i go through periods where my circumstance doesn't change at all, yet my perception of my circumstances changes wildly over time. it also depends on the timeframe i am considering. this week has been pretty shitty, as well as some things about everything since this semester started have been bad. but overall i am FUCKING GREAT.

i am healthy enough to go to university this semester (hasn't always been the case). this will be my 2nd consecutive semester without a medical leave of absence or a reduced courseload. (previous record: 4 semesters healthy in a row)
i have a girlfriend, but the situation isn't ideal as we no longer live in the same city. its lame and long distance relationships are teh suck. i haven't seen her since i left europe in august. she got a visa the other day (she is from an undesirable country in the eyes of immigration officials) and will be staying here for xmas.
i have no job, so the money situation is so lame i am living with my parents. fortunately i have a good enough relationship with them that its not a big deal. i'll move out again someday and everyone will continue to be happy. no job means that i have no spending money, which is fine for the most part because i don't have time to do anything but study, eat and transport myself to and from uni. if there is any spare time after those obligations i use it for hygiene, sleep and playing music. a group of friends and i have started a somewhat band/somewhat music project. we have been jamming for about 2 months now and wrote approx 30 mins of original songs. we are mostly just having fun and practicing, drinking beer and etc. lots of people have joined us for one or more session so our songs kind of evolve by themselves. i never had any real collaborative help writing songs before, and its pretty awesome.
also i rode my bike a lot before it started snowing and got back into rock climbing. it makes me feel really strong and i am improving to the point of being awesome at a steady pace.
i'm basically crushing myself studying though. this semester is feeling extra bad because i'm not doing as well as i am used too, and doubling of my efforts didn't really gain me any ground. so thats lame. i'm still leaning towards getting a phd or a masters in chemistry.

i'm happy.

i've never been happy, i'm not happy, i never will be happy.

but at least i'm coming to terms with the fact. If you have no ambition you have no disappointment, if you have no attachments you'll never no loss, and if you have no money you can't loose it.

a little melodramatic/exaggerated, but something along those lines.

I want to be Grieves.

My shit is okay. Money is a constant worry, and since I have anxiety issues, it's a constant pain in the ass worry. I would appreciate it if someone nuked a major city somewhere in the US (or I guess China or the EU would do well too). I need a major stock market crash so I can make a shit load of money on my latest short position.

My relationship with my wife isn't perfect, but it's constantly improving and I'm pretty happy there. She believes in me, more than I believe in myself. You can't ask for more than that in a spouse (except maybe an underwear model's body and a compulsive craving for spoo, but that would be selfish, IMO).

Of course, my life has to net out good because my daughter and her baby are healthy and doing good. When it comes down to it, I've been worrying about negative shit all my life, and probably will until I die, but as long as your loved one's are healthy and happy, and you get to share quality time with them, life is good.

However I do wish I done it all a bit earlier, a lot of these uni students seem like children even though im only a few years older.

Had an interview for a job almost 3 weeks ago.. I thought I didn't get it, but when I called to see why, it turns out they had delays and are still in the hiring process (thank god). I have been out a job since the end of August.

Other than that little tidbit of good news, I found my tax return in a bank account I don't use anymore, which was a HUGE plus (notwithstanding me kicking myself in the ass).

I also finally have an assessment scheduled on Monday for a Muay Thai/BJJ school that I've been wanting to join for some time now. Finally getting the ball rolling on my goal to fight in an amateur MMA bout!

Still happily single, and enjoyed such spontaneous benefits on Halloween!

All of this translates into me being at a level just above contentment; I've got a lot to look forward to and and I have some money to help transition from this prolonged limbo I've found myself in.

Stuff is good man, thanks for asking.
Settling into a new city, loving the neighbourhood.
Work, for me, isn't necessary at the moment.
Wife is great.
Money is more than ample.
Apartment is bright.
Cat is fuzzy and family is healthy and in touch.

I cant complain, Im not crazy about my job, I wish I graduated college like my normal friends, but hey, Im going back for the 5th time this January. I have the worlds best girl friend, I have a few amazing close friends. I have the best dog ever. I have the worlds smallest apartment, but in a great location. I have a small family that I love. I drink too much, but I try to balance that out with working out. I do not know how to save money.
