I'm having a great day. Giants won to take a postseason series lead and I got hired for a full-time seasonal position through mid-December. That's going to beat the holy hell out of unemployment.

Yay! So happy for you!
 
My day didn't start off well. Found out I'm at a D in Physical Science. This means I better understand the formula's and terms better but aside from that, my day slowly gotten a bit better. Enjoyed going through a philosophy class, learning a bit more about stoicism along with hedonist and cynics.
 
I went to a chili cook off today, and they were so good that there were ties for third place and first place. The chili that I liked best didn't place, though, but I liked the ones that did.

I also remembered this fish, which made us laugh in high school:

I chuckled when I remembered it.

Yesterday I got my first negative post rating. I think this doesn't affect me at all, and I'm only mildly amused by it.

I'm still grappling with this funk I've been in, ever since me and the ex had it out again for the millionth time and we once again reaffirmed that we aren't getting back together. Part of me still misses her, a big part honestly, but we weren't compatible in lots of ways and she honestly wasn't happy with me. For the record, I broke up with her, because I really felt like I was holding her back from being happy. Guess I'm kind of a tool, but I didn't mean it to be manipulative, I just saw that she was unhappy and her happiness was always my first priority, so I made that decision.

Now I just feel like I'll be alone forever. I've been feeling strongly that I'm ugly and all that jazz. I feel silly writing this, so I'll stop...it feels good to get it out though. Thanks for reading.
 
Been working on my graphic novel as of late, along with trying to get through in school.

Speaking of graphic novel-ness, I had to retool the stories because they just didn't feel satisfactory to me. I did find a soft spot at sending the draft to Dark Horse Comics and hopefully land on a editor's desk.

Yeah.

I thought I posted this earlier today ... maybe I didn't? Did my posts get deleted again? But anyway, I had a table at the Richmond Zine Fest yesterday where I sold my three zines (two about my 80s/90s history tumblr and one about my old daily show fan site) and my handmade notebooks. I made about $92.

I did my first Saturday loading a trailer of old newspapers with the Lions Club yesterday. It was easy work with a group of friendly older people. The last truck however had papers retrieved from an abandoned hoard house. They were quite soggy and smelly because the roof of the house leaks. The oldest paper that I had found was from 1954. The house was occupied from the turn of the 20th century and abandoned in 1990.
It even has a Wikipedia entry and I briefly lived across the street but never had the nerve to sneak in.
 
Had a pretty quiet day yesterday. Got a shit load of work done for my classes. For now, I'm awake even though it's not even 6 yet. The kids woke me up wanting warm milk.
 
I don't usually post in these kinds of things but here I go I guess.

I feel awful...just terrible. Everything in my life just feels like its falling apart quickly. Everybody I know seems like they're getting colder, and everything is just getting more urgent. I'm getting to that age where I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with my life, but I don't know what I'm doing at all. I'm not really good at anything. I can't write, do math, comprehend information very well, I hate reading books, ect. I'm not a very good student and it seems like everyone else is just magically better at school than me. I hate doing work, I'm lazy and no one but me is at fault. I keep taking suggestions on how to not be lazy but so far I can't get the motivation to do anything.

My life has pretty much just been anger, apathy, lazyness and unwillingness to do anything and now its just resulted in depression. I've had so many opportunities to better myself but I've rejected them all. I've done so many horrible things I can't forget, and it seems like I just make everyone around me miserable. I say lots of stupid shit and I never have anything smart to say. Lots of people have it worse than me yet here I am complaining about it on the internet. I just feel like some spoiled brat...

I also kinda hate the world. Its filled with people I hate, stupid people and some people are just flat-out horrible. My brother treats me horribly, my "friends" treat me horribly and no matter what it always feels like my dad is disappointed in me. I can't take care of myself and I lack responsibility, intelligence and everything.

Today I realized the only person who I felt like I could talk to on a personal level couldn't give a damn about me. He makes me feel terrible. He just makes me think I'm never going to be thought of as a good person and Ill just be remembered as some whiny, immature, insensitive, unintelligent scumbag who says or does nothing right. And without him I can't express it to anyone without feeling embarrassed.

I can't take it anymore and I wish I'd just drop dead.
 
Just had a BSOD. Restarted and my 500GB SSD wasn't in the boot menu.:cryblood: Switched to a new SATA header and it's all good.:biggrin: I'm guessing my cats had something to do with it, since I left the side panels off for some reason. Learned my lesson.
 
It’s been an eventful weekend for me. Last August my maternal grandparents celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, but we were unable to celebrate it properly as a family because my wife, me, my siblings and parents were half a world away to be with my newborn daughter. We planned to go on a trip with the whole family after my return, and we did. Not long before the trip, my paternal grandmother died so we had a funeral to arrange. My grandmother was a bit of a hoarder and it was a lot of work cleaning her apartment. We really could use a break, and last weekend has been perfect in that regard!

We were with fourteen people and three dogs – my two siblings, my parents, my oldest uncle and his wife, their three daughters, my youngest uncle and his son and of course my grandparents. They had the time of their lives, walking the beach with their children and grandchildren. We are a pretty close family and it was lovely to see each other again. Having just lost one grandparent makes you all the more glad to still have two left, and in such excellent health.

Times like this, you feel just how blessed you are to be born into a warm (extended) family. To me, this is what life’s all about – love, family, good food and good company. One day I hope to spend my own anniversary with a family as close as ours, in as pretty a place.
