What we do every night pinky. Try to take over the world.

Nothing

What other answer is there? The OP just said "Nothing is possible"... What else could you do? Anything you tried would fail, because none of it is possible.

Borderline autism?

You could try being borderline, but you just said nothing was possible, so you'd fail!

... I dunno if that means you'd slip straight into "Deeply retarded" or fail to even start being autistic.

Wouldn't that also mean nothing is impossible? Because it would not be possible to have impossible be possible.

Anyway, life has always been a cruel funny joke. Happy 14th birthday, kiddo. Learn to celebrate the brief glimmers of happiness between all of the misery and human disappointment you'll come to know so well you won't even be fazed by it anymore.

"Unfunny joke." I am not someone like you who could accept that there actually can be a god looking over this and thinking "yeah let me make a world with just winners and losers and the most rigid form of failure or success for both." No, I can only accept complete random blindness to the point of not being capable of what humans are capable of, that is the only possible version of god that could exist.

I'm agnostic and I used to be way more Doom & Gloom than you are until I realized you can't be disappointed by life if you stop expecting anything from it. I think you're old enough to realize that you're only unhappy because you have expectations that you haven't received yet. Which means, your emotions are all on you. Once you learn to stop expecting things from this piss-poor species, you can finally start to work on yourself and your own happiness, cause in all likelihood, humanity probably won't still be around 100 years from now, anyway. Or then again, maybe you really ARE fourteen.

"No need to get excited," the thief he kindly spoke. "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke."

Laugh

I'd light a cigar, drink a beer and watch the world burn.

Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll.
