So today I found out I’ve become a Great Aunt and if that doesn’t make a person feel old I don’t know what will!!
Wow, if I recall you're about the same age as me. You have a significantly older sibling or do you guys just having kids as early as it's possible to do so?
In any case you're not old, from the (excellent) photos, I can say you look young and fine.
I don’t get anything out of drinking really. Other than making a fool of myself then endless pain for a week in my joints as I’ve hyper extended them all whilst drunk. Oh and the 3 day hangover is never fun. Drugs for the win when on a night out.
It's so ridiculous how much worse/toxic alcohol is for you than literally almost every single other drug. But it's the legal one. I get it, it's a part of human history, our first drug basically, intimately intertwined with culture. I don't think it should be illegal... I think we should measure harm and abuse potential against the legal drugs and determine drug policy based on that.
Yeah, that's not fun... I've probably only been blackout for a few days max in my life. But then again, there are definitely some missing weeks when I used to drink grain alcohol, do benzos and use meth at the same time... That did not end well at all and was a bad time in my life...
Me and my brother are both really prone to blackouts. I have blacked out from alcohol far too many times to have any idea to count. It's only happened a couple of times in the past 10 years, but in college I used to black out frequently. Blackouts are so weird... for you it's like nothing happened, you do not and never will remember. But you wake up and hear stories about stuff you were doing.
Hey BK i am so happy to read that your in a better space. I am struggling and it gives me hope.
What's wrong Andy?
People who bring sterios in public are obnoxious. I'm on the train sitting near some guy blasting horrible music. And this happens I'd say at least once a week in public.
Man yeah, that shit pisses me off. Like dude, no one else wants to hear your shitty music, put on some god damn headphones. I visited Colorado a few years back, and on a hike in an awesome park right outside of Boulder, I swear like 2/3 of the people hiking were playing their music from some speaker in their backpack. It was so fucking annoying. I wanted to push those fuckers off the mountain. Like, when you're in nature, why do you want to listen to music anyway? I want to listen to the birds, and the trees, and the wind. To each their own, but put some fucking headphones on.
Another time I was at a disc golf course in town with my friends. There had been a tournament that ended just before we got there, apparently. We were on the first hole and these 3 guys came up. They were probably about 40, and were straight out of the early/mid 90s, same clothes and style. They were in a terrible mood, we heard them whining about how the tournament was bullshit and the course sucks. I guess they didn't do very well. One of the three of them had an old 90s boom box on his shoulder and he was absolutely fucking BLASTING some Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, various shitty 90s nu-metal. It was really loud, it was hard to hear each other talking. I looked over at him and he glowered back at me and gave me a challenging stance, like "what? what? You got a problem with my fucking badass music? "
We were in front of them so they had to wait on us, so they were always behind us. Every time any of them threw a disc, invariably they would be displeased and start shouting FUCK!! GOD DAMMIT!! or IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR THIS FUCKING SHIT COURSE HAS TOO MANY TREES!! They were having constant temper tantrums, all while this dude played his emo ass 90s "hardcore" music as loud as possible. They reminded me of 40 year old 90s teenagers who never moved on from the 10th grade. At one point one of them made a pretty damn nice throw and my friend, thinking maybe he could break the awkward ice, said hey man, that was a nice throw. Dude shouted NOT FUCKING REALLY!
Ah, they were the best of times, the worst of times.
