Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[mynameisnotjeff]

My current job can best be described as glorified internship. The staff liked me so much that I ended up getting hired at another school. Sad to be leaving all the kids behind, but stoked on benefits and a better pay.

[TheLurper]

Old manning it in the parking lot the other night and some annoying fat high school kid asks me if I'm like 30 years old, but he and his friends were trying to start a fight with me.

Stoked I still look 30, but not so stoked this fat ass piece of shit went out of his way to hassle me when I was just trying to roll around a spot I hadn't skated in years.

I’m starting to get way too comfortable with enjoying a drink during the day.

[layzieyez]

I'm stoked that I'm getting better at using my cast iron wok (made garlic fried rice tonight). Not stoked my stove is electric so I can't do certain things you can do on a gas burner. I have a gas cartridge camping burner though, so I might give outdoor cooking a go until the insects recover from the cold.

Wok is similar to this and I got it for $8 from aldi.

Keeping pressure on the bosses at work. Today I was asked to speak with the highest in command who locks herself away like a cunt and laid out all the bullshit that's going on. Big meeting is getting called for everyone in the office, because I pointed out how much they have fucked everything up and how the people under her aren't telling her everything we are bringing up. How morale, customer service, and our numbers are at an all time low when we used to be the best office in the district all because of their shitty decisions. They started calling people in to get opinions and even the ones who are the most scared are throwing down some reverse uno cards.

It is a great feeling but it's also exhausting going to bat for everyone. It puts a target on my back with the supervisors, which I don't really give a fuck because nobody likes them and/or wants to hang out with them. But I think the big boss respected what I said today, and my coworkers for sure did. And now that it's out I don't really have to speak up for anyone anymore. Hopefully. People just need some fucking balls. We got a union, we got rights, I just don't understand how people can eat a shit sandwich day in and day out.

Felt really good when my coworker told me she took her son to the skatepark for the 1st time on the board that i gave him. Little guy had a great time and the older dudes helped him out and were super encouraging.  Not stoked that i'm not able to be out there myself until i get through yet another knee surgery.

Gonna flip it and do not stoked first.

Not stoked my gf of 4 years and I just broke up 

Stoked to eventually find someone with similar goals in life

Not stoked again because I legit don’t know what to do by myself without someone around.

Stoked to have time to get back into my interests more

May i ask why? Has there been a build up and you knew it was coming or did this happen out of the blue? Either way sucks to hear bro but hopefully the future hold some positivity for you and you can figure out who you are and what you want

[50mm]

Going to move home to save up and get things in order. That's what I'm not really stoked on, it's nice to have privacy.

But the pro's far outweigh the cons. Saving Like a grand a month, the house is a huge 2 story that just my mom and sister live in. Will have the only room on the bottom floor, bathroom right there across from me. Can actually shit and shower comfortably compared to my cramped place. Nice new kitchen so I can cook real food, and can bbq after not being able to for years. My kitchen doesn't even have a vent fan so if you cook the wrong thing it stinks. Gonna have a garage again which I used to always work on projects in. First order of business is building a fun box. I'll be close to the city so I can go to good parks, and will be able to do more even though I'm saving money and paying bills. And I think it will be good for my mom and sister. I know they are excited but my sister never moved out and doesn't understand that it's weird coming home. It's just for like 6 months I think, so I can get bills paid off, get a place with my girlfriend and lock her phat booty down with a ring.

It had been building for a bit. We both want different futures and there was some other issues that weren’t going away between us.

Going into it I was 24 just looking for something random now I’m 28/29 and I eventually want someone with similar goals in life.

I went to church last night with a friend to see what it was like. It was pretty rad and I could feel the love that these people were feeling. I was stoked, just not really stoked on the whole "Saved by Jesus thing". I'm not a Jesus head but I'd like to go to feel a spiritual connection with something.

I used to go to a 'skate church' where they'd let you skate their indoor park for a couple hours but halfway through you had to listen to a sermon. Not the biggest deal in the world and if you took the religious aspects out of if there were a lot of positive messages in what they had to say. The community aspect can be cool but banging you over the head with Jesus stuff can be a bit overbearing. Glad you were able to find something positive in your visit.

It's an act. If you don't believe me, spend more time with those people and you'll find out all the drama and gossip and bullshit that their group is caught up in. I went to church with my wifes family for a while and had an experience like yours early on. Didn't take long to see that so many people from that group were totally self-righteous and hypocritical.


I'm stoked/unstoked on my accounting tutor. Stoked that I'm getting help, otherwise this class would be torture. Not stoked on how hot she is. I met with her yesterday and she was all done up like she was going to the club. Full hair/makeup/nails. Shirt so low and open that her tits were just out. She had a bra on, but still, I didn't have to try to see them. I'm happily married, but sitting next to her looking like that when I'm trying to learn process costing bullshit made me pretty uncomfortable.

Also went to skate church once (Portland?) and can agree it seemed wholesome.  Not for me perhaps but they were nothing but welcoming and skating the park was cool, I can definitely see the appeal

Yep, that's the one, Slippy. One of these days I'll run into you out here and I may or may not address you by your slap name.

I am sure there is some drama, I don't really wanna be a super religious person, It's just nice to get out of the house. They gave me a bible to read and I've read it before, I like all the stories.

We have some crazy church that stands on the corner sometimes with a megaphone telling you to repent and shit. It’s all kids. As soon as he yelled something about Kobe dying and using it to recruit members I slowed down and screamed “YOU’RE ALL INSANE, YOU’RE IN A CULT, FUCK YOUUUUU!”

Felt good. Also some weird kids knocked on my door Sunday when I was in a shitty mood. They wanted to share a quick inspirational quote from the Bible. I just said Nah I’m good and slammed the door.

I know it’s a bit dickish but fuck off. I’m playing video games you fucking psychos.

I had the door knockers come to my house once too, they said they had proof of god existing in their backpack. When I asked them if it was a rock or something and if they could show me but they said I would have to sign up first. The door closed pretty quickly after that. Weird stuff.

That is kinda strange, I would've faked signing up just to see.

Anatomy class broke me off. Days leading to test day created a black shadow over your shoulder. 3 exams in 2 days brutal. Only did well naming every bone & feature. Spent so many hours studying. Appears studying the wrong way. Also this damn class broke my sobriety of 70 days

I just realized that I hadn't returned something to amazon by taking it to kohls and found out tomorrow is the last day so I almost missed the window.

Not stoked on going to kohls tomorrow when I was nearby there today at lowes buying three bags of cement and wood screws.

Why Kohls??

[layzieyez]

They have a partnership with them that allows returns without having to box it up. It's an attempt at getting more people to come into kohls to possibly trick them into shopping there.

I got a "membership" to a chiropractic clinic. I love it. I just wish I didn't need it.

[os89]

Went skating a bit today for the first time in couple months. It was freezing fucking cold and now my legs feel like jello, but in a good way. Just stoked my intercostal strain bullshit is finally healed thank god.

The one time I went to a chiropractor all her equipment was in a fucking plastic laundry basket. She didn't do shit for me. My girlfriend at the time could pop my back better. The lady was a quack talking about pressure points and shit. Make sure yours isn't like that. I get like 12 visits a year from my work and never use them besides that because I was so turned off to chiropractors after.

[FrenchFriedClownFingers]

i landed a pretty good full-time job where i basically sort donations and chill in between waiting for said donations. i spent today listening to old cassettes and cleaning. i see a lot of cool shit. i barely have other coworkers too, it's like the manager and 2 other people and it's nothing stress wise compared to when i was a cook.

but they watch us 24/7 and we have to remember a bunch of weird rules about disposing of shit that people donate that we can't sell. they are also so worried about the employees stealing but i see why. they also upped their standards on what they will sell in the store and i see a lot of dope vintage shirts go to the trash bin.

i'm gonna have a fucking heart attack if any old skate shit comes through. i suspect most of the flippers have snagged up all the shit in my area already though.

so far though that'd be my only gripe. i work with a bunch of older women and drink shitloads of coffee. it's also helping me mentally which i would have never expected from a job. it's really nice to be able to buy new things and take care of stuff and not worry so much.

sorry for droning on, just gotta tell someone. i live alone with my dog and old cat 

[somethingmustbreaknow]

^ sounds good. i'm stoked for you on the new job.
less stress then when being a cook is worth a lot
