I'm really good at identifying flaws, but not as good at taking the next step and putting into action solutions. I know I need to go to bed earlier and eat at more regular times, but then stay up all night eating junk. I do work late, but I almost forget that many people probably regularly go to bed before 11 at night.

I do feel I'm doing better about how I approach things though. I'm going back to not blaming people for challenges, and focusing on solving them instead of attributing fault. And taking responsibility for things myself, I can't control other people, but I can myself. Rather than bitch about how people act, I take into perspective what they're doing and it's real impact, and then accommodate for them. I'm just really trying to get out of this mentality that I'm the all knowing center of the universe that everyone else should be revolving around.

I'm looking forward to the end of summer. I'm ready for the cool and quiet of autumn, with its briskly walking strangers and the sweetness of shortened days.

Man, if I had a choice in the matter, it'd just switch between autumn and winter year round. When you're a recluse spring and summer only serve to make indoor living conditions unbearable.
 
Some people are insufferably skilled at detouring any conversation towards their problems.

Yesterday I was talking about how my dad can only see at about 30% original capacity and within two sentences this person had skewed the conversation towards how they would commit suicide if he/she were to go blind, which he/she then ended with ''..But it sucks about your dad, though.'' I was just kinda baffled by it. To whom was that supposed to be helpful exactly?

And just now again. I've been on a waiting list for affordable homes (which is about five years and it's nearly my turn) and I am now at risk of losing my spot on the waiting list due to some fines I was unaware of. A colossal issue all things considered. Now, this same person, in essence responds; ''That sucks. You know what else sucks? My problem.''

I'm paraphrasing due to anonymity. But seriously, what the ever so living ****? I need better people in my life..

Exactly, Puma. The summer is like a zombie movie, they're out there and they want my shy, delectable, semi-cynical brains.

That's rough about your dad, it must be difficult to be reduced to such a small field of vision. Is it degenerative?

I hope you get your house, you'll feel like a new man once you have your own digs.

Like this post all-around :) I think most people know what you mean by the first paragraph. Good intentions sometimes don't translate into the good behaviors you want.
 
Random good moods are the best, aren't they? The ones that seem to come from nowhere at all, you're just doing something mundane, but you feel happy doing it and happy to exist at all. Need more of those.

I don't know what you're on about.

Apple vodka and apple soda - errghh I don't want to think about it :p

Lately I've been drinking every weekend. I love my vodka mixed but one time I had soda in it and I wanted to punch the bartender. Like don't ever put that crap in my drink again.


But yeah. I like drinking now (I hated it before) but I don't think I can be an alcoholic. Ugh.

What's your favorite drink with vodka?

I actually kind of hate vodka but I wanted apple something and I needed to go cheap.

Sometimes you try to help someone and it's just like you're this alien floating quietly on a little raft above the water, looking down on someone in panic with their feet stuck in the seaweed at the bottom of the lake. And you lean over and you say "take off your shoes!" But they can't hear.

I need better people in my life..

You really do. I will rejoice when you manage to escape where you are now. Truly.

Eh? Shake off my blues? What? :confused:

Nah, it can only stay the same or get better from here. It was the result of a recent brain haemorrhaging. His actual eyes are fine, it's just that part of his brain that got affected during. It's a waiting game to see how much it'll recover. He's in good spirits about it, though.

And me too. It'd be a solution to my life's greatest problems. Peace and stability are requirements I can't overstate needing.

Thanks, man. That sentiment actually means a lot. ;)
 
Stresses piled up to fry my nervous system already, then along comes a 5.2 earthquake just to give my heart a further dose of adrenaline to deal with.

5.2 in only minor, but when you live in an area of your country that is not supposed to have earthquakes your brain goes into overdrive in the "what the hell is going on!?-mode" :eek:

Does climate change cause earthquakes in places they are not suppose to happen in? :idontknow:
