That's without getting into tooooo much detail. Basically, things are suddenly back to a healthy way for him and like I wanted, but it took something bad to happen to a friend and someone else we kind of trusted revealing themself to be a really sick piece shit.

Hey, the friendship is back. That's a lot, especially when it can weather bad shit. A dude I was tight with in college, it fell apart when I warned him what his girlfriend was up to and he didn't want to hear it. Something like a year later we went out for beers and talked things through and he said I was totally right all the way and things went just the way I warned and he said he should have listened. Well, I should have learned about "kill the messenger" somewhere earlier in life to be able to help him in real time, because while we were cool with each other at that point, we weren't in each other's lives in the same way anymore and that never got back on track.

Unfortunately I had to request a refund for 2 items I purchased on reverb. Regrettably I do not believe either seller is at fault, but neither package was received. USPS even said they "Delivered, Front Desk/Reception" but my building has neither of those.

This stuff is happening like crazy with USPS right now. Dropped off packages on Saturday...they didn't handle them until late Monday...so 2 day shipping turns into 6.

Then they are just saying that addresses don't exist (and I have been getting that Front Desk/Reception thing...I hope they are ok...but people have seemed happy so far).

Kinda pissed as they are usually pretty good. Hope they show up or you get the thing resolved.

ugh that happened to me once..I'm so anal about pp addys now. unfortunately even if you cancel it still charges your bank, so if you don't have enough $ to cover both transactions; you go negative. in the end you shouldn't lose any money besides the fee (if you do go overdraft)


I think you receive PP credit and just transfer that to your bank or something like that?

Actually just got delivered today 6 days Fedex said they delivered it. The USPS one got got delivered only 5 days after they said it was delivered. So, they are the winners I guess?

Too bad the tuning heads were too big for what I needed. All that time waiting and I need to get a different piece anyways. No one makes any machine head with the big side smaller than 20mm. I'm just going to have to order some of those crazy expensive and even crazier thin gotoh stealth and stagger them. Then use string trees to makeshift line them up properly.

The nut I ordered is alright though. Sanded it down nicely and now it fits snugly.

Figure collecting is the biggest waste of money, but I don't think that i'd actually stop. I'm just glad i'm not into getting tattoos.

just took a musicianfriend to the psychiatry...
visited him there last year and picked him up when he got out..
kinda happy to have been around this year before the mania hit full force so he can get care and no drama...
still bummed, wish he'd find the right medication/dose , to live without episodes but without paying the price of loosing his feelings...

Spent all morning trying to decide what to do with my life. I came to to the obvious conclusion of ARTIST, but that basically leaves me in my current lifestyle, which is starting to really wear on me, psychologically. I never have money to spend on anything other than food, and to get to and from work or the gym, which is one of the only things keeping me going these days. In order to get anywhere with art, I NEED, no exceptions, more time for it. SO I need more money to have more time to make the money I don't have. Great.

You seem to be stuck in a thought loop. I feel for you, and please don't take this the wrong way as I'm not trying to be a dick -- but what you NEED is a therapist.

Totally not taken in the wrong way. I've thought about it, I just don't know if my insurance would cover it, because, you know, the whole "money " thing.

What else I need, what we all need, at least in the states, is a society where we don't have to go into massive debt or overwork ourselves into unhealthy territory in order to get a career that allows us to LIVE.

Anyways. Yes, I am totally stuck in a thought loop, but I really do feel that it's at least 50% caused by external factors, such as the 40hr/work week BS..... And then some.

Some white Cis-male scumlord sniped my copy of F Zero off eBay at the last minute.

Currently chock full of rage.
May have piss and vinegar for blood.
BLEH.

[Strange Tales]

I'm on my 5th anti-depressant in as many months, I'm tired no matter how many hours of sleep I get, and the whole concept of (happy) emotions is quickly becoming very foreign to me.
I sort of just wish I was dead, but every single day I wake up so fuck it guess I'm still alive.

Either way sort of wish I knew what life was like besides a well of disappointment. I'm really starting to feel more and more disconnected from reality itself and not sure what to do about it.

I can relate to that ST. One thing that works for me is getting out of the house. What I do really doesn't matter, but doing nothing or not trying to actively change my behavior makes the darkness in me manifest even darker. And I know a lot of times when I try and go do something I'll have a bad experience or run into some shitty stupid idiots, but it's much better than sitting at home feeling bad about myself all day. Talking/venting to my friends and family helps too. Just know that with time things will eventually get better. feel free to PM me or msg me on steam if you need someone to talk to

9 years experience working as a projectionist at a cinema. Got made redundant about a year and half ago due to digital tech takeover. Applied for a technicians jobs at the regions only independent cinema, which I've always wanted to work for, and I managed to get an interview. Felt it went well, the two guys were really informal and we seemed to get on well... but I didn't get the job.

To rub salt into the wound, I've actually written and "directed" a couple of short films in the past, and I've volunteered for several arts events INCLUDING THE REOPENING OF THIS CINEMA ITSELF a few years ago.

Then to piss salty piss into the already salty wound, a few weeks later they're advertising for front of house customer service staff. One 6 hour shift a week. Didn't even get asked in for an interview. What do these people want?

And people on ebay asking about my fuzz pedals that I've made. If I can add this that and the other, which I say yes no extra cost. THEN THEY NEVER GET BACK TO ME. Oh, and I had a fuzzface go missing in the post to Hong Kong. Fucker better have got blown up in that explosion.
