stupid first world problems you're dealing with

my neighbor is about half way thru having a new roof put on his house. they're working every day so saturday no exception.  hammering starts at 8am. yesterday start at 730am.  it's an average size house but they're getting all the plywood replaced as well so it's like double hammering amount... not just shingles and flashing. ugh. 

also, somehow i fucked my shoulder just by existing. no fall or twist or anything. just one day it hurt like hell and it's been 2 weeks. it's probably impinged tendon thingy. makes sleep even more challenging and restless. every morning is a fresh hell of trying to get some range of motion into my shoulder. gonna go stubbornly bike ride anyways because i hate everything and bike is a good medicine for this.

deep breaths, exercise...then remind yourself this life is all bullshit, we're all gonna die. good to keep things in perspective. not worth hating anything, amigo.

'i hate everything' is just a sometimes mood. .. usually only lasts a moment.  i remind myself i'm a human speck in time and that everything ends etc.. all the time. it's comforting

Smells like floating babies.

Bought a pair of Adidas but it felt like someone had put it 10 supportive soles for people with flat feet. They were so uncomfortable.
Then I received my new Levi's - turns out I didn't buy denim but fucking velvet pants!

Last but not least I've been trying to take all the feedback I've gotten from clients with a big happy face, but inside I've felt like dying...

had a weird encounter today.. i'm sitting in my car, parked on a lot surrounded by corn fields and misc marshland stuff, just next to the road. Only you can't see the road from that lot, or vice-versa, because of high and dense vegetation between them, which makes it kind of hidden. People often park cars there to go for a run or a walk, as i did. While i'm fiddling around in my car, about to leave, i notice another car turning into this lot. The car parked near mine, on the passenger side from me. I look up, and i see four really sus-looking guys inside, which made me fix my gaze to inquire. A man steps out of the vehicle, from the front-passenger side, and that guy really had a foul look on him; carved grubby face, with a skin beaten from the sun and alcohol abuse with opaque blank eyes, starts to weirdly gesture me to move away (i guess? idk), then he rips out his offensive part, about to start urinating in front of my eyes. So i gave him a stern wtf-are-you-doing look, but he proceeds to urinate on my tire, so I start yelling and honking at him, and am about to exit my vehicle when I quickly glance at his pals in the car, one guy sitting in the back gives me a rather subtle "no" move with his head, and immediately i realize that this might not be just a bunch of friday early bird lowlifes - these were some nasty looking fucks, and they way they seemed "disinterested" in what was their friend doing reminded me of a gang looking for trouble, with the zombie-golem guy as the provocateur, and the rest just waiting for an opportunity to jump in.

while this realization was coming into my mind, i turned on the engine, locked myself in, and managed to slightly open the window to yell "you fucking retarded ape!" which really agitated the guy, and he hurled himself toward my car. I drove off, and as i looked back to see the back license plate of the car, the driver knowingly turned his car perpendicularly so that i could not id it. motherfuckers think they smart.

invited to be part of a beta for plug in dev i really like. the plug in is fantastic. however, after the initial email w/initial version of the plug they're running the beta thru a FB group for discussing the plug in and sending out new versions... and i'm not on FB.  I suggested Dischord but i don't expect they're move the whole beta process there. 

i will not rejoin FB.

Damn. They sound sussy for sure. Like a pack of ferals basically. Glad you were able to make it out with only a urinated tire for damage.

I still have a FB account, which I seldom check anymore. And every time I do, it's only a reminder why I seldom check anymore.

You're not missing anything.

word, a feral pack. probably coked up already. that guy looked like he could slit a throat for laughs, no kidding. others were acting too smart and reserved. I've seen this behavior before, avoiding eye contact, almost as if staying at the ready but staring away.

ffs I gained 30 pounds during this contract 🤯😭

My girlfriend bought some peppermint essential oils for her diffuser that she needed help opening.  So I unscrewed the lid and removed the plastic seal.  5 minutes later my balls are stinging with that ice cold fire associated with minty things.  Seriously???  I must have unconsciously touched the crotch of my pants, and the oil residue managed to seep all the way through the pants, through my briefs, and onto my balls.  Still stings.

Went thru similar thing recently. Hardly driving and when I did it was very short drives so battery never charged. Had to put it on a trickle charger every week. Eventually this kills the battery. It still lasted 3 yrs of life but was deemed dead by the tests the shop did. Had to get a new battery. I only drive like 4k miles a year.
