yup

 

It got to a point where my mental would tank after I drank so I just decided not to and drink more water and I feel so much better but damn, the habit is hard to break

 

Thank you❤️

 

sorry fam i was in a grumpy mood the other day.

 

you're fine, my dude

 

On my way back to the car after Disneyland today, I saw a dude with a shirt that read “RAD DAD” on the back with a picture of Bandit from Bluey wearing a bulletproof vest, helmet and carrying a rocket launcher

Was gonna try to take a pic of his shirt, but was afraid of what would happen if I got caught…

 

lately I've been enjoying getting high and listening to Loscil

time well spent

 

One thing from high school movies/TV that is kinda bullshit is kegger parties in the woods. We tried that one single time back in the day and it got broken up by the cops within 45 minutes.

 

I wasn’t allowed to party in high school. I was on aim and absolutepunk.net

 

My parents were pretty chill being young teen parents themselves. But the one drawback is that because they were partying and drinking and having babies as teens lol they could sniff out a lie and a party from a mile away. Consequently I was so boring as a teen. People are perpetually surprised I didn't drink until I was 21 and I've never really been like drunk or close to blackout drunk. And that I've never done any type of drug. I'm just boring through and through lol.

 

My parents were very much “don’t ask don’t tell” as long as I made sure I had a safe ride and always let them know if I was going to be late. It also helped that most of my partying was courtesy of my older brother lol

 

I lived in an extremely rural area so lots of parties in corn fields happened lol I wasn’t cool enough to get invited to any though and I don’t drink anyway so didn’t really matter. My brother definitely went to a few and my parents didn’t care as long as he didn’t drive after.

 

Listening to biggie for the first time in a while and forgot how much HE is on these records. That’s great.

(read: not great at all very sad and huge bummer)

 

were there any clowns

 

Actually there might have been lol Definitely heard about one party where a couple of the guys dressed up in scary costumes and scared the shit out of everyone. Def could have been a clown involved lol

 

Most of the parties I went to in high school were in basements or back yards and did not involve alcohol. My parents also never talked to me about underage drinking, I think bc they just assumed I wouldn't do it regardless

 

I did not drink or do drugs until halfway through senior year and then all hell broke loose. My best friend lived across the street and we’d usually party there and I’d just crash there. I always wondered why my parents didn’t ask why I didn’t come home to sleep.

 

First time I got drunk I came home while my mom was still awake and she immediately knew. She was initially disappointed but then ended up having fun teasing me lol

 

I was trying to find a clip from Roseanne where Becky drinks so dan and Roseanne are all obnoxious and loud and stuff on purpose cause she's hungover. I'd like to think that's what I'd do if my kid drank and lied about it lol. What's the point of having kids of you don't mess with them every so often

 

Bodies by Drowning Pool was the Fortunate Son of the Iraq War.

 

Mamma had a little too much to drink at the family cookout lol

 

I’m sure I wasn’t the first person to think of the idea but every once and awhile I think back to how I “invented” curbside pickup / grocery delivery in 2006-2007.

I’ve always hated the process of grocery shopping (put something in your cart off the shelf, out of the cart to check it out, back in your cart, out of your cart to your car, out of your car to your house, out of the bag to the shelf) and in 2006-2007 I literally paid friends like $10-$15 to go grocery shopping for me and drop it off at my house. Didn’t even really think about it after that until like 2019-2020 when someone reminded me they used to do that for me. Oh if only I had brains I suppose.

I’m also the same genius that declined getting Bluetooth in my car in 2012 for a whole $50 because I didn’t know what it was and figured it would be some passing fad that wouldn’t exist in a few years lol

 

Several artists I love turned out to be people I don’t like and sometimes I wonder what that says about me or said about me at the time.

existential crisis in 3, 2, 1…

 

Your response to art is going to be unique to you. No one will ever feel exactly how you feel when reacting to art. And although art is a representation of the artist and the artist might be an undesirable person, that doesn’t take away the meaning from you. They made the art for x but you love it because of y. So don’t be hard on yourself and just enjoy it for the reasons that no one will ever truly understand except for you. Just my 2 very buzzed cents :)

 

I'm reading Yellowface and it's good so far but honestly so stressful! The main character gives me so much anxiety. I have a lot of weird anxiety about getting in trouble. Like a lot of my stress dreams are about doing something I'm not supposed to do and getting caught. So her entire plot of basically being a terrible person and justifying it and trying not to get caught is sending me into anxiety overdrive. And she also reminds me of every "well meaning" racist person in the PNW so that doesn't help lol
