Can you really be anal in the bitching thread though? I thought that was the point.

Yeah I guess, if that's the kind of bitching thread you want here.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I don't know what the hell I ate... but something really freaking screwed me.
My damn stomach has been acting on me for several weeks now, and I've passed through several medicines and two doctors already... plus a damn diet.
I've gone down about 8kg (17lb) in just one month... so currently I weight only 63kg (139lb). Bleh... stupid stomach... I need some tacos... and I can't eat them...
=OOO
Several weeks seem like a long time.
Do you get stomach aches? Or just that the food passes through your body?
(Tacos sound good. I'll eat on your behalf =P)
I tried my best...
Damn... Today just fucking sucks; added to the bitching list for today...Originally Posted by XanBcoo

Today's bitch is about the feeling of helplessness brought on by the death of a friend. I received a call that the father (Mark) of a really good friend of mine was involved in a motorcycle accident and that his recovery outlook was grim. Now, I've had to deal with the passing of members of a friend's family before, but something about today was different.
Mark was a really influential person to me growing up. He was like a stand-in dad to me when my own father was battling meth addiction and was hardly around. However, over the last few years I began talking to him less and less as my free time diminished.
Anyway, today at around noon I received the call informing me of details his accident (He wasn't wearing a helmet and was exceeding the speed limit when a car pulled out in front of him) and the less than optimistic description of his chance to recover (His stepbrother's description was something to the effect of "his head was so swollen it was comparable to the size of the 19" tv in the hospital room").
For a few hours I sat here thinking, "Holy hell, I just talked to his dad yesterday for the first time in a few months", and eventually I was hit by the aforementioned feeling of helplessness. Eventually, I decided that sitting here fretting over it wouldn't make anything any better so I decided to be the optimist about it. However my optimism was taken away when I received a second call a few hours later with news of his passing explained to me in these exact words, "They're harvesting his organs"...
This got me thinking about how uselessly I sat around with my thumb in my ass hoping he would be alright, and I became overwhelmed with fury and hatred towards circumstances that are obviously out of my control. I guess it's a fairly common reaction, but it's still a terrible feeling that I just can't seem to shake... and I hate it.
Well there goes my rare good mood. I've been in that situation more times than I would like to remember and honestly I can't give you any advice other than try and hang in there and don't be too hard on yourself. I would recommend you talk to someone or go out and have some fun. Just do something to get your mind off of it for now until you learn to accept it and find your own way of dealing with it. You should just let go of the anger and doubts and the regrets because nothing good is going to come of it besides that awful helpless feeling is bad enough and even though it may seem like it, anger really doesn't fill the void. Anyway like I said I can't really give you any advice other trying to find a way to deal with it and eventually accept it, because helplessness is the human condition.

Sapphire is awesome!
one of the VP's tasked me w\ sending out some mass email this morning....
the first one I did I accidentally left the fwd in the subject line... then 10 minutes later tried to recall it but i dont think that works well w\ 2000 + emails.
So now he wants to send another email to try to explain this to the 2000+ people and further spam them... omfg. I'm wondering if I need to start looking for another job
the real bitch is : why the fuck cant you send out your own email.... wtf?
god dammit...i decided to finally start watching one piece, so i look up a batch torrent. i find a few, so i decide to get the one from a group called C_P since it was the 1-100. i figured that should be more then enough to get me into the series and i'll dl the rest as i start watching. Thanx to my shitty internet connections which wont go beyond 30 kb/s it took 4 days just to get eps 1-10. I start watching rite now and it turns out "C_P" is actually cartoon palace or something like that, and all the eps are the retarded english dubs Fox aired a few years back....the same dubs which originally set me off OP, making it seem incredibly stupid and childish.
Oh come on, you at least have to watch the rubber knife incident.
I don't even watch One Piece and I found that edit hilarious.

Try the irc channel of Kaizoku-fansubs. I got 250+ episodes from their fservers in less than a week. Then I did had to hunt torrents though, for all the middle episodes before vegapunk began.god dammit...i decided to finally start watching one piece, so i look up a batch torrent. i find a few, so i decide to get the one from a group called C_P since it was the 1-100. i figured that should be more then enough to get me into the series and i'll dl the rest as i start watching.

It's weird, when I misread the poster as Assertn, I felt a pang of sympathy for his troubles getting One Piece episodes. When I realized it was Assassin, I just felt annoyed by the whole thing. Strange how that works, considering how little I care for either.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
you secretly like assertn more then me
</3
Btw, im assuming that whole rubber knife thing didn't actually happen. Where can i see the original?
It's okay Assassin. I like you, like about 5% of the time.
I tried my best...
My house has fleas. I don't know where they came from, there's a couple of good possible propagation vectors for them... but we've got them, and bad.
I love how the bites trace out the lines of my socks.
On my right leg, there's at least 30 bites. On the left, about 31. Plus three on my arm and three on my side. I've spent the last two days vacuuming and rearranging and re-vacuuming, taping and crushing fleas on the ceramic tile floor outside my bedroom door, and doing laundry multiple times.
Bombing tomorrow.
=OOO
Put your saliva on it!! (or was that for mosquito bites...)
But that looks pretty bad...and nasty.
I hope your flea bomb works!
I tried my best...
I ordered a Radeon 4850 tonight. The price was hard to resist -- $188 after tax/shipping/rebate.
Damn it...........
Would that be the flea circus you ordered through the mail?
Biting bugs are the worst, especially when they attack in swarms like that. Were you asleep when they attacked or did you just ignore them until it was too late?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer?

just didn't see/feel them. Some of the bites were while I was asleep. Most were probably while I was at my desk, but I didn't feel them until they already happened, and didn't realize it was a flea problem until about 3 days in to the attack.
We've also had a couple flies that we've had a lot of trouble getting rid of (they're smaller, more agile and a lot more responsive than the others), so until enough dots were there to connect, I didn't connect them.
On the bright side, it gave me a good reason to clean my room and the rest of the house and re-cable some stuff, so that's good at least...
I do that sometimes. I'll feel little pin pricks and just ignore them, especially after looking down and not seeing anything there. When I check later I always wonder where all of the little red welts on my legs came from, but eventually I'll remember when it probably happened and go nuts trying to exterminate the bastards.
