The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

Thanks guys. I try to do that, and it helps more than it used to. I've told myself to follow my own advice more than a few times.....

EDIT: Additionally, when it doesn't work I scream my head off to music too Usually Dillinger Escape Plan.

Oddly enough, it was DEP. That band is therapeutic for me no matter the context.

[Moose]

No problem man. I know it's not easy to do, but once you get into the habit of doing it, it makes everything so much simpler and easier.


Yeah, same for me with DEP. I can always find a track that's fitting for my mood.

Weddings make for rad parties.

And are a great excuse to get gifts! Is there a wedding registry on Fuzzhugger.com? There should be.

Dude, I'm getting divorced just so I can get remarried if we can get that rolling.

Also, skully, didn't know you and the missus were high school sweethearts. That's how I ended up where I am today, too

On a serious note, not jealous of you guys who have to do the whole dating thing. My wife and I broke up for a year ages ago and I tried to date.
FUCK. THAT. SHIT.

So glad we got back together.

I tend to agree with John, dating is bullshit and there are other ways to get to know people or get your end off. His notion of having girl friends who can set you up is bang on, though. I know that there's the expectation to date because its what you're "supposed to do", but really, that's bullshit. Let things happen organically. Chemistry yo. And anything after that is just a bit of hard work. Like anything else in life.

Hahah yeah we started dating when I was 15 and my now wife was 16 (she's a cougar).
I can't even wrap my head around modern dating. We too broke up for a little bit of time and tried to date other people, and it SUCKED. WOW, it was awful. And with apps like Tinder and whatever now, umph screw that

I'm feeling slightly less insane today. The weird thing is that in order to not worry about what's going on with a girl, I almost have to be completely stoic about the whole thing, like I could care less what happens. If I'm into her, I get all weird, but by telling myself that I don't care, I feel numb or something. Does this shit make any sense? I want to have my fucking cake and eat it too

Waking up with shoulder pain for no apparent reason. Getting old sucks.

took me a sec
It turns out she just needs a night or two all to herself, because she works full time and goes to school, and doesn't have any actual days off in a week. Add people wanting to hang out, and me, and it stacks up. I think I handled it like an adult. I just told her that I understand and to tell me when she needs time alone so I don't freak out.

These have gotten rid of my shoulder issues in no time, and I do gymnastic strength training, so my shoulders take a beating. Use a broom stick, or if you have access to a weight bar, use it, but without the weights. Once you can do them with your hands just slightly wider than shoulder width, then you can, if you want, add a small amount of weight at a time to it, like 5 pounds. Do like two to three sets of 10. If you can't do these without bending your elbows, then widen your grip. You might need a really long stick at first.

Been doing those on your advice, and they're certainly not making things worse. My wife also talked me into trying a yoga class. We'll see how that goes. Some flexibility/range-of-motion work hopefully keeps me from a completely creaky, wizened old husk of a guy.

Mobility is so overlooked, even among fitness freaks.

So tired. Back in so much pain. Really don't want to be in the office or even out of bed today.

Spent Saturday tearing up about 40 feet of concrete walkway at my friends house so pavers can be put down.

Dude stretching/yoga is the best. I kick the shit out of myself every winter and it's basically the only thing that keeps me walking without being a wizened young husk.

Modern dating is generally a joke of money expenditures, half-ass'd emotions, and bleak prospects. I've never had trouble finding ladies, but sadly that has made me really fickle in many of my relations with women. In a true karmic fashion though, all the women that I really adore tend to turn out crazy or just not that interested in me. Last relationship I had, I moved to NYC with her after she got a great new job. She found herself knee deep in a coke addiction soon after, dumped me because I was "stifling her", and then found a shitty boyfriend that beats her then lied to me about having a boyfriend whilst trying to get me back.

Longest relationship I had before that, I had also discovered that she had another side-dude she was banging for several months. So I really know how to pick em, in between one night stands that later blow up my phone with angry messages,and a lot of short internet dating craziness.

My friends say that if I find a girl interesting, they know to stay away because they probably are bat-shit.
