After 7 years I hear back from the chicago fire department. I took their entrance exam all the way back in 2006. They sent me a letter last week and it looks promising! Well, it's not like I'll inherit his actual monetary debts, I can just tell everyone fuck off on those. I'm referring yo things like our apartment, all his stuff, and any jobs he's got that I would normally just do with him. I can deny them, sure, but then who would wanna hire me again?
I may be over-thinking some of this, but I can't get it off my head. Sucks, really.
You seem like a solid guy. Good on you for sticking by your family. I was purely jabbing at the fact that you were upset about not being able to put up 315 lbs. Unless you work out at some ubergym I'm guessing you're one of the strongest guys in there. If I can give some advice, don't neglect your core. A weak core can limit your progress if you plateau. http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/core-workout-4?fullpage=true |

I think some of my depression in life is now affecting my gym performance. Yesterday, I tried 315 on the bench, even though I didn't really feel it. Sure enough, I got it off the bar, down to about 4 inches above my chest, and almsot spazzed as my right arm couldn't hold the weight. Luckily I got it off to the bottom rack of the bench, circumventing a decapitation. I was not pleased at all, and the rest of the workout suffered further... everything was lower numbers, less reps, and it upset me. I pushed twice as hard as I normally would just to get through my workout, and all I could think was I am a loser.
D is not pleased.
What the hell is your problem? |

Iron Man 3. Saw it and was "meh" all through it but as expected the comic relief is fantastic. I liked the bad guys but I'm not a fan of superhero movies that take themselves too seriously and this one seems to do that. It's good, not great but I like the more whimsical style of Avengers than this.
I also saw it at a local cheap 3 screen theater that usually does a good job (recently renovated) but this time something was up. It was like someone turned the brightness all the way down on a TV, couldn't see shit at times.
I saw the Hunger Games there before, same screen, and it was fine. So hopefully it's not a recurring problem as the place is a 5 min walk from my house and has awesome snacks and adult beverages for cheap.

That is a good book, you will enjoy it.
The actual name of "Arthur Gordon Pym" is "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket", which is even more awesome.
Very true. I'm doing something I don't usually do, reading two books at once. To test out my new kindle I got Out of the Silent Planet. |

The stupid fucking thing doesn't say "a life dominated by drinking and fucking is the singular root of happiness." It says that a group of horny asshole college aged kids think so to which I said "DUH."
No shit one shouldn't spend all of their faculties in one area. I enjoy sex, and I do booze it up (maybe too frequently), but I also walk to the damn lake and stare at it for an hour and walk back every now and then.

*sigh* I've lost count of all the "studies" of what a bunch of people around the world has enjoyed for years. Like, eating healthy food is good for you and other dumb stuff like that. Also, a life surrounded by alcohol and sex sounds pretty shitty in retrospective even if is enjoyable in the moment... but hey, what the fuck do I know. Man you take everything way too seriously. It was posted tongue in cheek and sex/booze can easily be juxtaposed with games/food or sleep/reading and an article that basically says "if you do what you want you'll be happier!" is ridiculous. |

Why are you trying to track down copies of Shadow Hearts, Xenoblade, and Suikoden II when you are unemployed and have to return games shortly after buying them? Or has your situation changed?
His unemployment check came in! |
