Constant headaches and pain. Doctor says is it's probably chronical stress:
- deadlines, one after the other
- I need that job because it pays well and I need the cash to fix our roof
- I can't sleep much, if it's 5-6 hours, it's alot
- Check-ups from my gf's cancer are coming up again
- Wasn't intimate with my gf in 5 years > cancer is gynaecolgical so ... yeah.
- Can't have childredn anymore due to the cancer so we're in a trajectory with a surrogate mother. financially another major bummer and mentally it's exhausting ...
- I think my dad is slowly dying. He has a severe longtissue issue due to a flame he inhaled in an acciden. it's so bad he has to get a new set of lungs. He's constantly on an airtank. Can't do anything anymore and he lost about 40 pounds...
- skateboarding hurts. MY knee is screwed, my friends all live 2 hours away from me and I can't get motivated to go skate alone ...

Life sucks right now, and I'm only "going".

 I"m pretty sure that the moment I'll "stop" I'll crash.

fuck :(

so sorry DR. as always i hope the check up goes well! stay strong.

Being at the age when body parts don’t just hurt and then heal. How did I get lower back pain? What did I even do? And oh the knees…

I'm 46 now, but around 37 I think... all my skate damage seemed to catch up with me. All of my joints that I've hurt skating just ache all the time now, so I can't skate much. Well... it'll be like.. "my knees are fine today but my back is hurt" or vice versa. I'm trying to figure out what level of CBD i need to try out. Also, my left ankle is possibly hanging on by a thread internally.

So stop running and find cardio elsewhere?  I could hit a rowing machine or bike or elliptical thing if it'll save me later for sure

I used to run a lot and I'm fucked and I have older family who are really into running and I think generally the idea is human beings weren't designed to run, at least the way most people do it. Basically you have to make sure youve got good technique and then only really run at at least 75% speed if not faster and when you get tired stop running and start walking while also making sure you've got a decent walking technique (decent as far as good for your body not like power walking or whatever it's called for speed).
Slow running/Jogging does way more bad than good and apparently it's not even that good for cardio anyway

So about 5 years ago they started this recycling thing in Aus where you collect all of your packaging rubbish and bring it back to the shop and apparently they turn it into astro turf or those plastic benches for schools and shit. This plus every two years changing what bags you get/have to buy at the shops and anyway turns out it was all horseshit. I'm not even that surprised really but it's so much wasted effort making sure all the right types of plastics get seperated correctly and then brought to the right places.

My understanding was that humans are evolutionarily designed to run and especially long distances. Not saying you’re wrong, just that I heard different.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

Nope you're right I should of been clearer. I was trying to say we weren't designed to jog/ run slowly. We should run at a decent pace landing on the forefoot with ball joint, ankle,knee, hip, spine all relaxed and springy kinda leaning forwards. But when we slow down too much people tend to lean back and land on their heels making all their joints locked causing too much wear and tear/injury

My instagram feed is being increasingly flooded with this narcissistic gen-Z simulated porn.  Like tik tok girls pantomiming jacking someone off while (out of) lip syncing to some suggestive audio.  I’m no prude or anything, but this shit is really lame.  (More disturbed by the desperate narcissistic elements than the sexual content tbh).

IG has been really shit forever, and it’s been getting exponentially worse daily for years, but it’s damn near unusable at this point.
im pretty sure if u press the 3 dots in the top right you can say dont show me this type of content

Hurt my shoulder arm wrestling some kook at a house party this weekend. All this behaviour is out of character for me but the woman dragged me out this weekend and I had way too much bourbon.  I drove all these drunk fools from some horrible club to this party and brought a 1/2-ounce mix of various types of weed I grew this year as a gift for one of the hosts since it was her birthday. The guy made some smug, condescending comments about how he could tell it was homegrown, essentially insinuating that it looked shitty and kept running his mouth to me all night about this and that. I was drinking too fast to catch up to everyone since I was the designated driver for the first portion of the night. Finally, I had had enough and stood up and backhand slapped him across the small kitchen table after a particularly insulting comment. Instead of obliging me to go outside and fight he wanted to arm wrestle instead. Most likely cause it's his thing and he knew he'd win that and probably would have gotten his ass beat if we stepped out. We were locked in a stalemate with no movement for so long until I was fatigued as he did all these weird wrist tweaks and techniques that people I guess do in arm wrestling. We were cool after for the rest of the night but I still kinda wish we just scrapped it out cause I'd much rather have a shiner and hurt hands than have my bad shoulder acting up.

I'm happy for you that you slapped the guy. The rest sounds shitty but that sounds satisfying

I work in one of the biggest medical supply chains in the southwest yet they're the cheapest fucking dickheads.


Had Covid last month and had to take an entire week and some change off work. It was complete crickets about whether I would have Covid relief pay from me missing work up until I had no option but to burn every last bit of PTO/ST - then magically they were able cover 4 fucking hours. I know I'm preaching to an audience that may not even receive Covid back-pay, but it's really deflating regardless. Here's to having absolutely no PTO/ST to visit family over the holidays (Holidays that don't get covered by Holiday pay) and the discomfort that follows.


Anyway here's wonderwall,

so i have a weird one. im 35 and over the last few months ive noticed something odd about halfway through the afternoon (particularly when im working at the office in a more sterile environment and not at home)....i think my ass stinks? my whole life i have no zero BO issues. gfs have even commented on the lack of BO. i didnt wear deodorant too often for a while but most days i do now - definitely if i go to work. but ive noticed this slightly funky/very faint smell that i can only assume is coming from my ass since i can smell the deodorant or even my shower soap if i try to smell inside my shirt.

i have no damn idea whats going on. i wipe til its clear and shower basically after every shit (pretty routine - coffee, shit, shower). its making me paranoid but what the hell. is this just what happens when you get older? is it pschological? even if i go wipe to check that nothing is going on, its clean. but i swear i am faintly smelling some funk of some sort.

Yeah, weird how that works. I just started working at a gigantic muti-national tech company and they already seem to be very skimpy on the employee benefits.

For instance, even the amount of hours of PTO I can bank before capping out is much less than other companies I have worked for in the past (I usually stack it to the max as a safety net). And that's my PTO I have accrued, so it's not like they're giving me anything free (though I suppose they just want to limit the amounts they have to pay out when employees leave). Very odd...

I went and picked up my storage at my brother's house.

I should not have bothered.

He robbed me of everything that I cared about. All my old skate mags got trashed.

Everything my father gave me is gone. I have nothing of my dad left except his ashes.

If I fight back I'm only hurting my nephews.

More and more it seems I only have my board my guitar and slap.

It fucking hurts. If it was possible I'd upload my soul to slap like Jobe the Lawnmower Man.

The most important thing is a video tape. It's this shitty band I was in with my best friend Brett rip. The first 3 concerts we did. He died 3 days before the 4th.

When he pass away I got nearly nothing of his. I was blamed for the situation tho I wasn't with him when he passed.


I've had to steal the tape back several times before.

My brother believes to this fucking day I stole his best friend.

I want payback so badly.

I'm boxing up everything not of value and taking the shit to the dump.

It's time to fully start over.

I'm sorry to be crying on slap. I don't got anything or anywhere else to let this shit go.

I'm the most alone person on this earth away from here.

I texted him he didn't answer. I know what he'd say.
His mind is full of things I did to him from our childhood. Most of it is lies.

You broke my toy blah blah blah or you stole my best friend when we was 10.

I need to move away from everything here maybe. I need to become a new person far away

I'm going to call him out face to face in front of the entire family and put it to bed forever.

I had a small wound on the shin and thought it would be a good idea to wear one of these football (as in soccer) shin protectors. The wound got infected over night and swole like an egg. I just had to get surgery to open the thing and now I am out for a few weeks.

 Takeaway: Wash/desinfect protectors before putting them over unhealed scabs. Probably better put a bandaid over the scab first as well…
why come?

On day 3 of a horrible chest cold. It's not covid (tested for that) but there's a really good chance it is RSV since we had a couple patients last week. I thought I was maybe rallying when I woke up this morning but I've been sitting here blowing my nose and coughing up all manner of things beige and green for the last few hours.

I have some errands that I really need to run but I don't have any energy and I feel like it would be irresponsible to get in an Uber when I know I'm sick, even if I wear a mask.

Shit suuuuuuuucks. Girlfriend brought home the RSV from a work trip. Was pretty much bedridden for a week, a pile of goo for a week and have a lingering cough.

One of my best friends has been borrowing money from me for the past 2 years, I told him I was going to cut him off since he hasn't paid any of it back. But then his wife comes in and asks me to help them with some money for their oldest son's birthday. I told them I couldn't and he still tries to call me about it. I honestly don't want to talk to him for a while since that's what they hit me up for 90% of the time now. I'm laying low for a while.

Woman is pregnant and we already have 2 kids we can barely afford. She's been drinking a lot lately too so even if we wanted to keep it would be irresponsible to do so. She's supposed to be on birth control but wasn't taking them consistently and now here we are with a difficult situation. Sigh
