ive got these friends moved to Tahoe, grow pot, and keep egging me on to move there..like ''fuck all your stuff we'll get you new stuff'''...giving me the ''made man treatment'', i guess it works cuz a buddy of mine went up there with a backpack full of cloths and now owns a house and a car...but taking a child into that situation with no car and being told it can be done from somone who doesnt know what its like to raise a child alone...makes me want to smash some faces. need to get out of this situation though, just taking a huge life changing chances when the ''it seems too good to be what hes saying'' gets to your rational mind.
So, my squatter of a brother in law let the pump freeze, so now we're looking at having to replace a $270 object to have running water. Maybe this will inspire him to move out though, so, there's that.
He needs a job before he can move out (long story short: father in law died last summer and we got the house - middle brother is pushing 40 and has never lived on his own), I think I have effectively convinced my wife it's in our best interest to move in on top of him. I don't want the house wrecked any more than it is, at this rate power will be turned off in a month or so. He's going to hate living with me, it will be hilarious in retrospect. It will suck in the immediate future.
He called me this morning with "helpful suggestions" about what I should do about the situation, that has earned him a few more days without water.
I was in a car crash... again... I crashed my dad's Fiat last winter and this year it's my own Renault Megane ending up on the junkyard... I am so done with driving 2nd hand cars with questionable quality tires on roads that freeze over literally once a year and then spinning out of control, wrecking the damn thing on that exact day, costing me thousands of euros to replace or fix, which by this point I just don't have anymore. The only option I have at this point is private leasing or hanging myself because I'm sure as hell not gonna last longer than a month without losing my sanity if I have to take the train to work every goddamn day. The private leasing has it's pro's but one of the (also numeral) cons is that it is relatively expensive and I will likely not be able to afford a 30" EGC 500 or Series Five for another damn year...
The good news is, just like last time, I walked away from the incident completely unharmed. I sorta feel like Bruce Willis' character in Unbreakable
well good thing the spirit of willis hangs with you, dont know what its like in the Netherlands, always been a hope to physically experience the land there, but train life here is getting to observe what this shit house of a world they created does to people.
Been off work for 8-weeks. Was getting pretty excited to go back, especially after 8 weeks away. Then I overheard some people talking about a bad experience provided by my employer and I got super bummed out. Suddenly I didn't want to go back. I'm sure I'll settle into a good groove once I'm back and then we get a new space in the next 6 months... damn. Working is the pits.

Good to hear you're OK.
You do know tires can be replaced, right?
Never assume they're good to go...because someone said so
Got three weeks off work, flying into London in a few days, and of course, caught a fierce cold. If I have to fly with blocked sinuses I'll probably just see if I can get myself knocked out for the duration of the flight.

God, i feel fucking miserable today. to start with, the car's thermometer said it was 12 degrees F this morning when i had to scrape the frozen snow off it. it took two hours for my fingers to quit feeling numb. And i'm really feeling my aloneness today, even though i'm in an office full of people working away. Also, i have to go to the dentist this Friday for a marathon appointment to get everything which is still messed up fixed...i've run out my insurance, so i'll have to pay for it over six months at approx. $200 a month. i wish i was back in my bed with my kitty, where i spent a rather chilly weekend...it was so cold that she crawled under the covers with me. Did i mention overwhelmed? i have so much to do, and no energy to do any of it. i should be trying to get my looping together again. for the last year and a half i've been playing tape-loop stuff with the RV-3 set to its maximum (2 seconds) delay instead, because it's easier to use. for that matter, i have a lovely 000 acoustic guitar that i haven't touched since i lived in Pocatello. i haven't played at all in a couple of weeks now. and i've been out of marijuana ever since Thanksgiving, and probably can't afford it with the dentist stuff coming up. fuck my life.
