How you doing Gaf?

A little lit. I made some good Cubano sandwiches for dinner and finished off a bottle of premium rum. Girlfriend is mad because I've been in depression mode for a month and it spilled into her birthday. I ran my fastest 5 miles ever and benched my one rep max without a spotter today. Tomorrow I get up early and sort my life out.

Relaxing after a weekend of moving into my new apartment in California. Moved here six weeks ago, and was in an extended stay all that time. Now I have a 2 bedroom with a roommate that I barely know and I'm a little nervous about the situation. Never had to room with someone who I wasn't friends with already, so I'm a little...uncomfortable for the moment.
 
Broke up with my girlfriend 5 months ago and never spoke to her in those 5 months. Happened to be in town near her (she lives 2 hours away) and sent a text out of the blue with the address of the Starbucks we met at and had our first date and said "3:30pm". Wanted to see how she was doing and maybe talk in a public place. Figured she would Google the address and see it was that same Starbucks and know it was me. She asked who it was and I told her and explained why I wanted to talk. Never got a reply. Waited over an hour. She never showed up. Was to be expected but...meh. I'm not meant to be with someone so apathetic and indifferent anyway.

In other news, probably gonna play some Elite: Dangerous with my Oculus Rift in a bit.

Thursday night - 2 Pabst Blue Ribbons at home. Got home at 11, really tired.
Friday - 2 Pabst Blue Ribbons in the morning at home, 2 Pabst Blue Ribbons in the afternoon at home, a variety 6 pack from Albertsons at night at home. One was Guiness, three were Shiners (one regular, one white wing, one red something), one was a Franziskaner, and the last one was a Sam Adams Oktoberfest
Saturday - Other than the morning ones, I had one regular Sam Adams, two Long Island Iced Teas, one Jack and Coke, and one Lone Star. These were at different bars.
Sunday - bout to go head out for some wine. Probably a bottle of white zinfandel to enjoy at home.

My liver, brain cells, and wallet are getting hashtag rekt. Good news is school starts in 17 days. Been in a stagnated state in life for about 7 months now. Crawling out.

hey so you might have a problem
 
Doing very well. Had a weird weekend, but a lot of fun. Some Mario Kart with friends, a bizarre party where I was sexually harassed in an unhot manner for several hours, lots of punch and medicinal frosting.
 
I'm doing alright. Heading to bed now.

Tomorrow I have to finish the last paperwork binder of the courses I taught over the past year. I had 9 at the start of July, each requiring about about 70 pages of paperwork. I am so sick of writing lesson plan and unit plans by this point... I should have tried harder to stay on top of this during the year, but I had a baby.
 
Doing great. Just got back from dinner with my wife. Chillis is quite good. Well, the el nino margarita stole the show. I cant believe I got a buzz from a single one. Ohh and the molten chocolate cake is also quite a treat.
Gotta start work tomorrow though. I got used to sleeping in so waking up early tomorrow will feel a little odd.
 
Watching the news about riots in STL, pondering what to do about a girl, and as usual, browsing GAF to get my mind off things.

I'm doing super extremely great right now! Just got back inside from having a staring contest with the Super Moon. Just chillin out at my parents place, browsin the internet
 
Just started Digimon World 3.

So far the evolution mechanic is 1000x better than Digimon World 2. However, I hate releasing one Digimon to fight at a time (whereas you had a simultaneous team of three in Digimon World 2). What is this, Pokemon?

Doing alright, by the way.
 
I'm pretty good. Just chilling on the balcony with my family at the beach house we rented for vacation. So glad I don't work this week.
 
Repost from elsewhere:

Soooo 2014 has already been a long year of loss and pain, or so I thought for the better part of the year. Today, after chilling with ma hombres, I feel like this year has been a cleansing of some sort. The old, decrepit and slothful things in my life have been torn completely apart- things I used to fight very hard for, disassembled. At first it seems like a bad thing, but I've claimed a sense of passion I've never had, but always wanted in my life, and a new motivation to cleanse out the skeletons that have been hiding in my closet for decades. If you asked me a couple months ago, or even a couple of weeks ago what I thought about this year I would have said, "Fucking awful". But after today, I think I can say with confidence that the circumstances that have happened to me this year have been the best thing to happen to me in a long time.

Oh man, Digimon World 3. <3 I never beat the boss though. I should play again.

For some reason, I could never save in Digimon World 2. Maybe I just didn't get far enough?
 
Not doing well at all, been drinking, thinking about a girl, hating where I work, hating that school starts again soon and I accomplished nothing over the entire summer. Mad because I have flat feet and can't exercise properly like I want to anymore, it's killing me inside.

But hey, Guardians of the Galaxy was alright.
 
I drove back from Washington D.C. yesterday. Took about 16 hours with stops, took the longer non-toll route. Had a fantastic week off and am energized to wake up in six hours (will go to bed in about one). Did my strength and aerobic workout and I managed to lose weight on my week out. This amazed me since I ate garbage pretty much the entire week, although in moderation.

Hope you get better soon, OP. My Grandpa broke a few bones in his foot about two months ago and was just discharged
from a nursing home that included physical therapy
. He still has the brace on with some pins in his foot. Unsure how much he will heal at this point, being 85. Here's hoping you're a fast healer!

Please don't. If you are seriously contemplating suicide, please talk to someone.

Every once in a while I realize I owe a lot of money to different places and people. Have no job, significant other (blessing is disguise most likely) and no place to live by myself. I have about... 2 friends I can see on a regular basis. But I'm going to school and I'll be out and with a degree in less than 2 years and I have food to eat, clothes to wear, a place to sleep, hell, I even have videogames and Internet. I don't have any mental problems or emergencies going on.

So honestly, probably better than average of most people. And I have like... Maybe 80 more years on this Earth left to live? Even my lowest low I still has food and a place to sleep. It could be better, but whose couldn't be?

not at the moment, but i have before.


I don't live in the USofA, but Canada. Thanks though.

Doesn't matter. The Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available to Canadian residents as well, 24 hours a day. I hope you feel better. Please consider calling if you ever get to the point where you feel like you might be contemplating suicide, or just if you don't have anyone to talk to about these feelings. These people are amazing and it's incredible what simply having someone there to listen can do for you.
 
Dog ate a box of trail mix with raisins in it last week (costco size). Had to take him to the emergency vet. Ended up being around $1300. He is alive and well now thankfully.

My computer chair broke, it was fairly new and fairly expensive.

Work has me stressed out.

But I am hanging in there. Just wish i had money sometimes...
 
I'm cool. I have a presentation to give this Thursday and I'm still putting together the PowerPoint. Trying to figure out how to present data without boring people to death. The presentation itself doesn't really matter much in the grand scheme of things, but I still get a bit anxious and unable to relax when a presentation looms.
 
Not great. I've been spending money pretty irresponsibly for a while (not to a being in debt degree, but more money than I should be spending as someone who's trying to pay for college without taking out a bunch of loans). I also need to buy a bigger bass amp for gigging but I'm not sure how I'm going to pull that off at this point, without getting another job which I don't think I could handle right now.

So compared to a lot of the rest of the world, amazing. I'm probably just being whiny about it, but I feel like shit. My life has no direction, I've never done anything worthwhile, and I have no idea what I want to do at all. I haven't even chosen a major yet and I'm about to start my second year of college. I just have this overwhelming sense of being completely lost, and in over my head.
 
Doing excellent! Came back from kohls. Picked up some skinny jeans that a cute sales associate suggested. Then she sold me some add on products. I think she did that to try and flirt with me, but it worked out for the both of us. She got a sale and I talked to her.

all in all, not a bad day!
 
I'm...not that great. I'm stressed out...a whole bunch of emotions are just swirling inside of me.

So I took some time off work...I need to just get out and escape.

I booked myself at a really nice resort in Bermuda...I'm catching a flight out of JFK tomorrow.

Going there just to relax and unwind a bit. Sitting at the beach, meditating next to the waves, and sipping a nice virgin pina colada...that sounds just perfect right about now.
 
Not well. I hope I can get better. Tomorrow is first day at school so I have to show that I'm able to be a great profesionist.

I'm so sorry...

I really hope you feel better...

You're a wonderful person Aqua...
 
Not that great. Stuck doing an unpaid internship for the next 5 months to finish up my bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. All I want to do is go get a real job but I can't until I finish this shit. Also have my fair share of personal problems that are dragging me down right now.
 
Just got done with work. Back to school shopping brings out the worst in shoppers. Thinking about quitting before I go to college. Currently in eating year old beef stew. It is so damn good lol!
 
Realizing I've been out of work for 4 months now and only had 1 interview. It's making me think about switching careers which would require going back to school. I don't mind school but time and money aren't free. No idea if getting into nursing or physical therapy is doable at 35+.
 
Summer is over. I am back in office after a good summer holiday. Feels ok.

It was hard getting outta bed this morning!

I know how you feel my friend. Me and my buddy were working yesterday and had some lady yelling and screaming at us, and continuing to do so over the phone after she left.

All over a $1 gift card.

That aside, on a positive note, was able to pick up some nice clothes today. And everyone made it home safely despite these Ferguson riots. That just leaves school starting and trying to figure out women.
 
A while back I weighed in at nearly 330 lbs. I managed to, at one point, get it down to 265. Then I started school again and got a job at a supermarket. Nearly a year later I find myself at 294 lbs.

So, I started counting calories and lifting again. One week on and I'm at 288. I think I can do this. Goal is 250 by December.
 
I start physical therapy school in a couple weeks. Been playing Mother 3 and watching Zeta Gundam. Moving into a new apartment/city later this week. Really nervous about school, but excited too. Just got engaged. Last night I got to see a lot of friends from college.. it might be a while before I see many of them again, as they're all starting law school or going abroad or getting jobs elsewhere and such. In the past, some of my professors have tried to persuade me to go into academia or international law and I'm wondering what other roads my life might have taken and hoping I made the best choices.

Iunno. I feel like life is just sort of carrying me along at the moment. I'm just riding a wave of anxiety/confusion/excitement and waiting for the next phase of my life to start.

Of course you can! Good work there. Keep it up! :)
 
I'm depressed that summer is nearing an end. I'm the winter baby who fucking loves the sun. Otherwise I'm good, got one tough challenge to overcome, using all my free time for reading, German, art museums, exercising and GAF.
