One Hit Knock Out

O_O Daaaaaayum. One hit knock out, indeed.

been up until 4-6 everyday since i've been back home in the bahamas. I think the other night i went to bed early ...at like 1-2 am.

;_; Where do you get the power?! I both can't sleep AND can't function properly without at least 7 hours. Doomed.

*does math*
*fuck it*>>>googles*

2 and a half days?

My work means I pretty much do that ever now and then... life sux.

Feels bad, man. Feels bad.

His name is Doom. He has accepted his fate and embraced it.

And yes, I went more or less three days without sleep. I spent the rest of the week passing out every now and then.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

well I usually wake up pass noon. I really can't imagine how i'm gonna get back into things when college starts again.

Pull an all nighter, endure that day, and collapse at a reasonable hour.

 

[Fjordson]

Feels a little awkward, but what the hell.

Went to bed at 4 30 am last night watching Locked Up marathons on MSNBC after the bar. Damn show is addicting then got up at around 11 this morning. Feeling good.

I did a 54 hour stretch one time. Kept seeing ghost cats everywhere after 48 hours. Interesting experience. Don't know how you made it to 60. Heard the record is 11 days. Any time after that humans tend to die. :/

You get used to it and then you see Real Pic gaf popping up in other threads and it's nice. Welcome. ^_^

It's seriously crack. Can never watch it for less than 3 hours.

I'm not even sure what hallucinations I was seeing I knew I was hallucinating but I was too tired to process them. I can't even remember why I stayed up so long. There's no way I was actually accomplishing any programming in a state like that and I can't think of any other class where I would go to such lengths.

Sometimes you just don't want to sleep. :/

I have to work on a week on week off basis. I lose five years of my life apparently for working the night shift.

I have a feeling this is going to become a GAF tradition from now on lol.

 

[CountAntonius]

When I really can't sleep and need to I take some melatonin and watch massage videos on youtube. Puts me out quick most of the time.

I find this one oddly relaxing.

Baba is my hero and I will one day visit India solely so he can put his hands on me.

 

[Fjordson]

And you were like "Why are everyone's avatars a whole lot sexier?"

Pretty much.

 

[ShinobiFist]

NYC-GAF doesn't sleep, I see.

 

[Gravijah]

cheskas avatar makes me jealous because i wish i had a cat to place under my chin.

There was this one time when I was coming back from school and I was terribly tired. As I was on the escalator getting out of the train station, I coulda sworn a cat or some animal just ran pass my legs. I jumped and freaked out, but realized I probably hallucinated since everyone else on the escalator was pretty chill.

NYC-GAF doesn't sleep, I see.

Jeez. What do you do, if I may ask?

It's been pretty fun so far. I do feel like having your real pic up makes you more accountable for what you post and flavors conversation in interesting ways. Let's hope it keeps up. ^_^

Melatonin stopped working for me. I'm having a glass of wine right now and hoping for the best. I'll try your vid if all else fails.

Dam straight playa.

 

[Kisaya]

You know, since Facebook I suddenly stopped caring about showing my picture to the internet. I remember being really strict on myself to not show anything with my face (even when I had a myspace, but to be honest I hardly used it).
I guess it's kinda bad, not being so careful anymore. But meh ;/ does anyone else feel this way?

 

[CountAntonius]

For me feeling soothed always puts me to sleep and since I sleep alone

Spoiler

forever alone-Gaf

I noticed watching this stuff really seems to soothes me. I have never received a massage but I nearly fall asleep while getting haircuts. So hell even watching them puts me at ease and calms my mind down enough for my dreariness to take over and I pass out.

Not really. A face pic isn't a big deal. It's the other stuff that can comeback to haunt you.

I actually just made a post about this kind of thing not too long ago.

Interesting stuff. Will look into it, thanks.

Imagine what you'd see if you played Corpse Party during that record. You'd have nightmares of that damned blue ghost boy for the rest of your life...

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm not sure what's going on here but I'm not going to get involved.

 

[Ashes]

Jeez. What do you do, if I may ask?

Media intelligence. I basically tell companies what's written about them in the papers.

First prints at 11 (I'm in London, so this would be GMT), so we work as the prints come in, just so the companies get their clean report when they come in at 9am or whatever...

Personally it was the google+ hype that pushed over the edge into this "ok with being exposed" feeling i have now. I mean i still have my facebook looked down to anything other than friends and friends of friends but yea i feel more comfortable than i did in the mid 00's.

what's up with your avatars arm? it's tiny~

They have pictures of real people on Wikipedia too you know, and I don't mean the guys asking you to donate!

For me is not about being careful, is more about not having a camera, lol.

 

[CountAntonius]

When I was a young child, I remember having these experiences where I would sit and listen to the radio on the bed. I would lie there with my head pressed right up against it as it lay on the bed, taking in every word – to the point where it actually left deep grooves in the side of my head (they went away eventually - don’t worry.).

Holy carp that's awesome.I used to do that and when i do get in that mental state I do hear things like lyrics in an extremely clear and mind blowing way.

ASMR

That tingling mind sensation is awesome.

 

[Emitan]

For more off topicness (since we are regrettably on topic) Day[9] just tweeted one of the most awesome videos I've ever seen.

Makes me want to start writing immediately, but I'm much too tired :/

 

[leadbelly]

Okay for serious.

Current avatar (one I like)

or old toothpaste advertisement looking photo

I think you should go back to the toothpaste advert. just add 50% extra sparkle.

Like this:

You need to add that sparkling effect for the toothpaste ad to be complete.

[kairiceres]

I guess I'm joining real pic january too! I'm trying to gain confidence in myself and I guess this is a small way of doing it. Ever since I was young, people would call me ugly and bully me about it. I have to admit that it did do a lot of damage to how I view myself and I'm trying to help myself.

It's my nature to put everything out there, so I can be a bit reckless with my 'exposure', but honestly I feel like people are (in general) just trying to make a connection and showing your real face is as close as you can get to real face-face communication on the internet. Plus I like accountability, and the faceless nature of the internet obfuscates that to a scary degree. I say more open is better. Maybe not the safest, but better.

What are you waiting for?! A massage is almost as good as sex. Treat yourself. If haircuts relax you to that degree, then a massage is going to take you to places you never knew existed.

Imagine what you'd see if you played Corpse Party during that record. You'd have nightmares of that damned blue ghost boy for the rest of your life...

Haha. I STILL haven't gotten to play it. I was hoping to get to QA it but I have so many of my own projects to babysit. Oh well, one day.

I'm not sure what's going on here but I'm not going to get involved.

Real pic up, then!

Media intelligence. I basically tell companies what's written about them in the papers.

First prints at 11 (I'm in London, so this would be GMT), so we work as the prints come in, just so the companies get their clean report when they come in at 9am or whatever...

Damn. I kind of do that on the side for mine because I like to know where we stand in the general scheme. I had no idea it was actual a legit job. That's kind of cool, but from your post it sounds grueling as well.

 

[throwawayname]

Yeah buddy.

Your'e a good looking person. Don't let the detractors tear you down. people who call other people ugly tend to be absurdly disappointed in themselves. Their words are mostly a reflection of their agony and has hardly any relevance in the real world.

Only the good ones.

It is the end of the week, and We ain't gonna work new years eve, so we did 2 papers on the 1st going into the second... woo hoo. but I can't complain I get every other week off, and get paid all the same.

Only the good ones.
