  • If your life is boring, it’s because you are living in a manner that isn’t enjoyable to you. Quit your shitty job and find a better one. Move to a different area if your current area it’s not pleasurable to you.

    That line shows a lack of experience. I find happy moments in life, but it’s certainly not all sunshine and rainbows. I’m currently living my life for the betterment of my family, to provide for them. I have to work a job I hate and I given up most of my free time for them. Do I hate them for it, absolutely not. Do I struggle mentally because of it, certainly.

    I can’t move because I can’t afford to find a home where I can move my family to. My mom lives with us, which makes it more complicated. Not easy to move from a low cost area to anywhere else and find the same space typically beyond my means.

    I can’t switch jobs, because I’d have to take almost a 25% to 50% cut in pay to do what “I want” which is a big hit when you’re just getting by already. I stick with it and keep it mentally as a thing I have to do to provide for others.

    I question this every now and than and my own well being is less than those around me. Sucks a lot, I make the best of it. Let me be negative about life it’s one outlet I have left, I keep myself going by taking my suffering and altering it into a form of dark humor to lessen the blow of reality.

    If you are able to do whatever you want when you want I envy your youth or your solidarity. You’ve obviously not had to make a sacrifice yet or you have been very fortunate. Don’t punch down at people who can’t make those choices.

    Now all I picture is the capybara and quokka having an exchange after a train hits a school bus full of children.

    "I don’t know if I can do this job anymore Capy. I have constant nightmares and Mrs. Quokka doesn’t understand why I’m not able to get it up in bed anymore. You know how difficult it is to get a hard-on with those images in your mind man?

    That little girl was just screaming with the skin ripped off her fucking face. The rest of them were so mangled we couldn’t even figure out what limb belonged to who. Sometimes I just feel like the fucking grim reaper, you know? Sending souls off into the afterlife."

    Quokka takes a long drag…









  • I’m not sure if I should be labeled as an introvert or not. I just hate small talk and don’t really care to get to know people unless they interest me. Not many people interest me, because I find people just bitch about the same things or the only thing they have to talk about is sports team, weather, or TV thing.

    People who say I’m quiet, just don’t know I hate talking to them. I won’t shut up around the 2-3 people I actually like. I never had a problem throwing myself into social settings or just conversing with strangers. I’m typically the one coordinating people to get together.

    I’m either the less introvert of the introvert group or maybe I’m a sociopath?

    Anyhow I shut down conversations like OP all the damn time, just because I don’t want to talk to that person in particular or I’m in a hurry.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    Certainly not, kind sir! I am here but to clean your chambers.

    Crantius Colto
    Is that all you have come here for, little one? My chambers?

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    I have no idea what it is you imply, master. I am but a poor Argonian maid.

    Crantius Colto
    So you are, my dumpling. And a good one at that. Such strong legs and shapely tail.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    You embarrass me, sir!

    Crantius Colto
    Fear not. You are safe here with me.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    I must finish my cleaning, sir. The mistress will have my head if I do not!

    Crantius Colto
    Cleaning, eh? I have something for you. Here, polish my spear.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    But it is huge! It could take me all night!

    Crantius Colto
    Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.


    Lifts-Her-Tail
    My goodness, that’s quite a loaf! But how ever shall it fit my oven?

    Crantius Colto
    This loaf isn’t ready for baking, my sweet. It has yet to rise.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    If only we could hurry that along. How would I accomplish such a task?

    Crantius Colto
    Oh, my foolish little Argonian maid, you must use your hands.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    You wish me to kneed the loaf? Here?

    Crantius Colto
    Of course.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    But what if the mistress catches me? Your loaf was meant to satisfy her appetite.

    Crantius Colto
    Don’t fret, my delicate flower. I’ll satisfy the mistress’s cravings later.

    Lifts-Her-Tail
    Very well, but I’m afraid my oven isn’t hot enough. It could take hours!

    Crantius Colto
    Plenty of time, my sweet. Plenty of time.



  • For those of who worked at certain restaurants, you might have experienced a dedicated group of 75+ friends and yes they do meet at the same place everyday. In fact when we were closed they’d camp outside in the parking lot in lawn chairs.

    The exact same group of geriatrics… every single day. Honestly it was sad to see one missing and not come back because you knew why.
