Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[Dirtymac]

So yesterday all these cops and paramedics pull up at my neighbors house(elderly man). Come to find out he'd been murdered. His stepson was charged with it around lunch time today. Stoked they figured it out so quick. Crazy thing is I spent a fortune moving to a nice rural area to get out of the city with a terrible crime rate to get away from shit like this...

PAGING SHARK TITS!! I'm a contractor and the mason just delivered a few pallet of bricks to the job site. Underneath one of the pallets was a beehive. Bees flying all over the place but we watered en out and most are gone. And I took a big chunk of he honeycomb out and now I've got a big old mason jar full of fresh honey. Stoked

[shark tits]

Damn tempgnar, I don't know if you're in my area but I would've took them girls home!
Sucks unless you're somewhere warm they will surely perish. Fresh honeycomb rules!

Found out I need glasses.
Stoked on being able to see better again.
Not stoked on how fucking expensive it is.

All you need to know is your prescription. I was bummed my glasses broke but, my aunt shared this site with me
http://www.zennioptical.com/

Also, some slap pals shared a link to a place you can get name brand glasses for half the price or something.

warbyparker.com has lenses and frames for $95 (or they were $95 last time I got some)

Yeah my mom got a pair from them too, she's happy with them and they look good
I think they still donate a pair of glasses for every pair sold, which is definitely one of the better sales gimmicks

The only thing is they advertise super heavy on a lot of podcasts I listen to, I kind of  can't stand to hear the name anymore

Probably going to end the quarter with all a's and a c. I might be able to bump it to a b today.

So I already got a callback from the University that's conducting this paid study on weight gain associated with quitting smoking through the use of nicotine patches

The interview went really well, and nothing came up that would even come close to disqualifying me, and I even played up how badly I want to quit smoking, so she'd know I'd take the program seriously

BUT

I really tried to be honest, and admitted that I had a seizure a little over a year ago.

She said that definitely didn't automatically disqualify me, especially since I'm not epileptic, but she would have to talk to the people above her, just to get the 100% that it's cool. She's gonna let me know in like a week or two, either way.

like always, shoulda just lied...

Getting a pet bunny was the best thing I've done in quite a while. It's fun to take care of it, watch it play, and see it grow. The only problem is having to deal with my dog. He's an old dog and is upset at the presence of the rabbit. I need someone to help me introduce them to each other and make them get used to being in the same world. I'm still not going to let them hang out together, one bite is all it takes.

[close]

Quoth that one Offspring song everyone knows (and isn't about pranks or white guys), we gotta keep 'em separated. I tried to let them both loose and at a distance. Wasn't feeling, so I picked the rabbit up and showed it to the dog. The dog tried to bite the rabbit's head off! If the rabbit didn't die of a heart attack from this, nothing ever will.

Maybe keep the bunny in a towel or some sort of rag and get the dog used to the bunny. Kinda like how people do with babies

3rd wedding anniversary, wife got me a watch.. stoked, but its the kind of watch i would never buy for myself.. not stoked.

now i'm stressing, do i tell her im not keen on it and risk upsetting her/ visiting the doghouse but maybe getting a nicer watch out of it or do i just wear it a couple times then put it in the dresser drawer for the rest of my life and let the money go to waste?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

What sort of watch are we talking?
Watches are strange business; I wouldn't let anyone by one for me unless they consulted with me first because of about 136 different factors

[dirtyweemidden]

totally! its bamboo with a brown leather strap... its not horrible, just not at all my style. its weird how far off the mark it is as she is normally awesome at getting exactly the right thing.

tough call

[JB]

watches are really tough gifts. my fiancee got me a fossil watch last christmas that i wasnt crazy about. it wasnt terrible either, but it had a brown face and a black bezel that i didnt think went well together. definitely not something i wouldve ever picked out for myself. the leather band also gave me a really bad rash on my wrist if i ever got it wet. i think it got stolen over the summer when i took it off to go swimming at the apartment pool because i havent seen it in months. i always wear a beater timex watch and i think she wanted me to have something a little nicer, but what i like about the timex is that i can wear it without worrying about beating it up.

after my grandpa died, my grandma gave me a tag watch that she bought him and ive never worn it. shes really cheap and i can tell that she bought the cheapest one they had. the face it tiny and the band big and chunky. way too disproportionate to look good. every time i see her she asks about it because im never wearing it and i just say that im too afraid to ruin it.

okay wow ... yeah I couldn't rock that I don't think. I think we need to start a horology thread stat

When I started my current job I decided I needed to go out and buy a "good" watch and ended up buying a fossil I mean they're not terrible but I could have gotten so much better considering what I paid for it (like I easily could have purchased an automatic orient or something similar) and it's not even automatic. Fossil aren't necessarily terrible watches but a lot of the time I find them too over-sized and too over-blinged for my liking these days. I still rock it when I'm all suited up but I wish I bought a hamilton or something nicer instead.
I think the more you get into watches, the more you get drawn towards simple stuff (like your timex beater for example). I'm actually looking into getting a Seiko 5 at the moment and getting rid of a Nixon (lol) that I bought because Reynolds looked cool in it. Horology is a bit of rabbit hole but after knowing what I now know, I would NEVER buy a watch for anyone unless I consulted with them first.

yeah dude, definitely an aquired taste.. its weird cos she knows what i like, and what i wear.. nothing that wold suggest i would pick this thing! ive been doing loads of woodwork recently so maybe she thought the wood thing would be cool.. i dunno. its definitely thrown me for a spin. SHe said yesterday that she has had it hidden for months, so I cant even try for an exchange to something less bamboo haha


ive nevber really thought about how much goes into picking a watch.. its complicated shit huh

So, today I've finished this task the Adidas guy sent me and I'm actually stoked with the shoes I designed and how it came out. I'm just nervous as fuck to hear their feedback. This past two weeks I havent been going to my highschool classes to have time for the Adidas project so I havent done shit and i'm late in lot's of stuff. I'm on the last year of my painting degree but I'm so over it. I feel demotivated as hell and I cant focus on that stuff anymore, so I'm kinda worried the Adidas thing doesnt work, all my commitment was in vein and I'm left with those classes that dont mean shit to me anymore.

I don't know the significance of the degree other than the fact that it's a time investment. More importantly you are naturally gifted artistically, and those are things that can't be taught through lessons or schooling. There will be many a times your artistic endeavors will amount to naught, but you mustn't allow that to diminish your determination. They are not failures, but learning experiences. If this Adidas thing doesn't work out you have to view it as a stepping stone guiding you in the direction of your goals.

Your commitment will never be in vain, but rather a small part of accumulative experiences that shape you into what you will eventually become.

Wait wait. You're still in high school? I thought you were like in your early 20s...

Fuck, I mispelled, I'm not on highschool! I'm on university and I'm 22. ahaha I have my fingers crossed and I'm positive I did a good work. Let's wait to see how it goes. I'll let you guys know for sure!

Damn man, that was deep! Thank's for those words. Yeah, my only drawback now it's the time I lost with this. I know It's not in vein because I learnt a lot with my school experiencies and I do know this degree helped me to have a another approach to shoe design and art in general. That could be what they saw that was special in me. I'm just not seeing the appeal of it anymore, like I'm not learning anything new, just doing things to please my "teachers", that's why I dont want to go back... Anyway, thanks again man! I'll keep positive.

At least this Adidas project looks good on your resume and when you apply to other shoe brands you can say you have the experience. School can feel like a drag but you have to find a way to stick to it.
