markjazzbassist Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Which are you? Could also call it the "optimist or pessimist/realist?" thread. I spent a lot of my life being a Half-Empty/Pessimist/Realist. I have recently turned a corner in my life and decided i will be a Half-Full and optimist person. Has been very freeing lately in regards to decisions and outlook and general demeanor and candor. Yes i realize this thread might veer in the hippie pseudo-spiritual direction and i encourage that.

johnh Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've always been a glass half-empty, mainly because you seem to be closer to your next pint. nyblue23 and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Half-empty. That way if it turns out better than I expect it's even better, and if it's as shit as I thought it was going to be I'm prepared fir it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenosetoffee Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Half full - everything happens for a reason and there will always be something right around the corner. In terms of Everton, I am optimistic every season. I'm not like a Liverpool fan where I think each year is our year but I am optimistic. This year there is a definite optimism around and think this is our best chance in years to win a trophy. Only position I think we are missing and Koeman admitted it yesterday was a striker. Against Stoke and other games we just seemed to miss something. I said at the time it was a striker but not just that, I think we are missing a bit of muscle in the team as well. A physical all and out and out player, who can hold the ball up go forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm more a ying and yang believer. If something bad happens I look forward to the something good happening. Get a little worried if something really good happens and then I'm waiting for the really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm a laid back kind of guy so don't generally give a toss either way about a lot of things. Just take it as it comes and go from there. But I suppose my overall outlook on things is positive...life, home, family etc. I can find myself being more negative at work because it's a big company, and they just piss you off!!! markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Do you come from or now live in San Francisco, being a half full hippie. nah from cleveland oh, lived in LA for a while and then new orleans and now back to cleveland. the hippie bit probably had to do with my "psychedelic" era of life, aka college. i enjoyed "opening my mind" pretty much not stop for about 3 years. wild times but i flunked out and had to quit the shrooms (although if they become legal some day ..... ) but have kept the mentality. love peace all that good stuff, good times. still have the long hair too, jobs and employers be damned.

MikeO Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 When you get to be "Pater familias" of five kids and nine grandkids it can be tough; some of them (most) glass full to the brim, others a bit of flat warm stuff left in the bottom that you just have to cope with, welcome to your future guys .
