Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[DarthDingusMaximus]

Just this afternoon I was skating a manual pad/ledge and getting down learning switch fs shuvs to 5050.  Well I see a car and the tire took a shit popped in the intersection.  I figured why not help out? go to say hey roll into side and I will give it a look. It is a young couple 20 something's dudes a POS already I can tell before speaking with him I asked hey you got a spare? She said I don't know?1 I said pop the trunk I'll show you guys how to change a tire and I am fast like RIcky Bobby in Nascar super quick, it starts to pour raining instead of the dude helping me out like a masculine would the lady helped me out with bolts and such. She gives me a $20 and thanks me, I said no problem. What chaps my ass is this fucking pathetic excuse of people these days don't own up to anything, wait until someone else does it. I can't stand lazy fuckwits.

people don’t even hold the door for each other nor say thank you any more when you do .common courtesy is a thing of the past . you did a good thing and don’t stop because the human race is failing .

I always give the head nod or say hello single doors.
 if it's double doors say if someone is following in when I hold one open  they don't say thank or acknowledge my effort my next instinct is to not even hold the next one open.  yes I am that petty, I will go outta my way for most but there are exceptions to that rule.

anybody ever go really crazy eating watermelon and grapes and other delish fruit only to realize that you consumed a chinese buffet’s worth and now it’s coming out the other end and no good good?

Not really, but ate lentil soup and bread like a madman. An hour in I realized my mistake, tried shitting it out, but alas, nothing came out. Had a feverish condition that night.

Switching to working nights (6pm-6am M-F) for the next month and a half. It’ll be really good money but I suck at sleeping in and I have a feeling I’m going to become a complete zombie.

purchase a really good eye mask..like a blackout one from Brookstone. they have plush ones. This will allow you to get into a deep sleep during the day.

I switched to nights about a month ago. Doing 8pm-6am 4 days a week. I can’t get used to it. It’s been hot, or whatever other reason I can’t sleep during the day, so I’ve been getting around 4 hours of sleep per day. I’m fucking dying. Today I got 6, feel like a new man. But fuck nights, especially if you have a family.

I know it sounds lame or whatever but if having trouble sleeping try a audio book and a beanie over the eye's as you gently nod off. I use to have sleeping problems as well as sleeping with my eyelids open, creeped out my ex's when others slept next to me.

Damn so I have the same problem, my girlfriend has told me that my eyes often stay a little open when I sleep, my dad is the same way. I’m going to get a eye mask because it’s too warm here to sleep with a beanie.

Earplugs are pretty prime as well

Combined with over ear headphones and an Earth album, I'm ready to sleep through any fight the neighbors are having

When I stop smoking weed I get vivid nightmare all night for the first week or so. When I wake up from one I put on a podcast that is barely audible so that it maybe jumbles up my brain or something. It usually helps. Last night sucked though because I dreamed someone had a gun and it went off when a fan by my bed hit the ground. Scared the fuck out of me.

My roommates sister. 

Nice

Don't do it man. Many a relationship have ruined by the temptation of a roomies kinsperson.

Been looking for a job switch to an industry I'm more passionate about.  Applied at maybe a dozen dream jobs with intense follow up and had no luck.  Wife just got an offer to interview (against only 1 other less tenured and qualified coworker) for a director position at her company.  The job is in Chicago and it'd be huge for us, she'd be making 6 figures and be set on a great path. 

I'm sure I can find some sort of work out there but if it works out there's no time to find a "dream job" I just gotta get somethin.  So proud of her and stoked for us and our lives but a little sad I couldn't get one of those pacific northwest dream jobs I was trying for.  Overall things are great just feel a lil defeated.

Volunteer work might bring you some satisfaction. I volunteered for a summer doing a couple shifts a month in a firelookout tower. Got to nap in a comfy bed with windows for walls and views hundreds of miles out. Birds landing in my hand to eat. Talking to hikers and stuff. Cool shit.

I just switched to a lower paying job in a industry I felt more passionate about then my previous one. The funny thing is my previous industry (Glassblowing) I was extremely passionate about for 3 years but working in it burned me out. I work with dogs now while taking college classes to get into a higher paying job and im digging it. If it makes you feel any better I was born and raised in the Seattle area and reside there now but I lived in Chicago for a year and really loved it. The city is a lot more authentic then Seattle is now. The winters are gnarly if your not used to it but I still miss living there.

If you don’t mind me asking, what type of job are you looking for?

Spent like an hour typing some words and getting links to start a thread about pros with last parts in more than one video. Then I get tired of hearing my own thoughts and decided not to. I saved my draft so I might trim it down and post later. I always like to share my personal thoughts/memories and was doing just that in regards to the videos but when I hit the 2nd page in word I was like what the fuck am I doing? The majority of what I wrote was about my first time seeing the videos and had nothing to do with the people the subject is supposed to be on!

Stoked because it’s an interesting subject and I like to write and will probably re-work it.
Not stoked because I can’t just encapsulate the fucking topic and wasted an hour at work.

Not having a car sucks at times, but boy is not having a car a great excuse for when I would rather just relax at home instead of going out to hang with friends and not look like a dick for actually not wanting to go.
"I'd go and all, and I REALLY want to, but I have no ride there and don't have too much cash left on my card for an Uber, my bad guys".
Only time it backfires is when a friend says "dude, no problem, I'll swing by and come get you", but my friends are usually such sticklers on giving people rides that that almost never happens.

Have to start with the not stoked for the stoked to work out. But I’ve known for roughly a month and a half that I’m out of a job starting October, regardless of what I can do.

But after a week of panic and anxiety I started hunting around and heard back today about a really good role and now I’m into third stage interviews which has me stoked out

Edit: Further into this, i got my official notification that my position is being eliminated, but in saying that i received two offers for jobs in the same breath that could be more beneficial

The love of my life has gone back school to become a fashion designer which I'm so stoked and proud for her. But it also means we have little to none time for us for the next four years or so...

...It gives me time to focus on my own stuff tho which is good too I guess...

Feeling a little conflicted, blue and directionless...

I've been here before like you. We've seen how these things end up. Could we be the exception to the rule? Do we have the time and the effort for us and is it worth saving too?

[honey island]

been close to 5 months since i've stopped drinking, which i'm stoked on, but now i have trouble sleeping

[AitchBeeGayBuh]

At the beach but my girl is in a training all day. That's why we're here so it's cool, but also I am alone. Brought my rain/trash board with me but now I regret not just bringing my cruiser. Oh well I am at the beach. 

Anyone have any ideas of things to do by myself besides skate/swim?

Excellent suggestions haha we have wifi and I do like him. Maybe I'll watch since I haven't seen it and I will definitely pick up a book. That sounds great and I can just chill and read on the beach. Thanks yo
