    Yes indeed. Actually I didn't turn 37 till 6:03 this morning, but it's kinda weird to drink that early in the morning no matter how redneck we are. Hurrr

    I found in my inbox the message @Agent of Chaos sent me right before he went completely sideways.
    It's like someone's last tweet before going out and committing some crazy ass crime


    "I'm going to get them to explode. Just bare with me here as I incite a riot. This is going to lead to the return of the shit list, and it will be glorious. And then I will be able to run wild."


    Strange dude! what in the hell was going through his head? this is just a little insight. These things interest me.

    These three posts in chronological order say it all to me.

    It also seems that he probably shared the same thought that sadpanda had in this thread.

    Sorry for double post, but the pirate bay website now shows a pirate flag waving and a counter showing how long they have been offline.

    Well, the counter is now going the opposite way...counting down!

    A Canadian got stuck on a Vegas zipline for an hour. That part doesn't cheer me up. The fact that it made the front page of the CBC website does. The stereotype that nothing happens here makes me chuckle when stories like that get attention.

    Ho..ly...shit, y'all, it would appear that i'm going to a fucking university.
    I didn't know that Panhandle State University was just 33 miles north of here.
    I don't ask my mother about finances. I know she's well off, but i didn't know she was "sure, i'll pay for you to get a degree" well off.

    I'm 34. I thought that my life was completely ruined and i would be living here off of family money and working at minimum wage jobs, or maybe landing one that paid ten or twelve an hour if i was lucky, and, well, waiting till i inherit the family money. That's no kind of life.

    Between being a truly bipolar nut job and a hopeless addict and alcoholic, I've never been stable enough to do this. But i am now. I really thought that the college boat had sailed a long ass time ago. But here it comes again. Another chance! I'm living in a place where everything is paid for and i have no real responsibilities, and the college is right up the fucking road! I feel like i'm dreaming. I've ordered info from the university and will be ordering my HS transcripts and sat scores this week so i can apply. It appears to be next to impossible to not be accepted, so i'm not worried about that.

    So i'll be the old guy at the college, but i will be AT THE FUCKING COLLEGE!
    I won't have a degree till i'm 36 or 37 (for an associates) or 38 or 39 (for a bachelors,) but i can be that age WITH a degree or without, right?

    I finally see a ray of hope peeking through the clouds, and goddamn, it looks pretty.

    Good for you, I hope you get accepted, apply for all the financial aid you can get, you might as well! And you won't be the old guy at college; I guarantee you there are students way older than you.

    I was in grad school with a guy who was 82. And he graduated with a Masters!

    Good on you. My gf is 31 and is halfway through a nursing degree. She didn't know if she could do it. Theres a sprinkling of people in their 30s in a lot of the classes, so its not an uncommon thing, at least in Socal. Don't overload your schedule, show up to as many classes as you can, get the work done and stuff will work out.

    That's how I'm feeling right now. There's a fan fucking tastic institute in international studies where in the TOWN I LIVE. I never considered their Masters program something I'd be interested in because my undergrad was art. Now that I've had a fling with education and teaching, I checked out their program again and fell in love with their International Education program. My mother also has agreed to see me through that degree financially, but I won't be looking for applying for another two years probably because I need more experience and fleshing out where I'd like to go with this. For now, I'm barely making rent and it's stressing me out.

    I'm right there with you. I'm not sure WHEN this is going to take place, but i'm hell bent on doing it.
    Isn't it a great feeling to know that things might get better?

    My cousin and his young sons have "Friday Night Fights", where they wallop each other with foam swords for a while. I like the term they invented for taking their shirts off when they do that: "Wearing bones".

    Found They Live and Master's of The Universe in snap case DVD today. That was a really cool packaging imo, but apparently everyone else hated them. Anyway, this brings my sc collection to 76.

    edit: Just got Little Shop of Horrors sc, but had to order it. 77!

    Damn that was a good drug. First time I smoked a shard, felt like hot ice cubes shooting up my neck into the brain. Good for you though, that shit destroys families everyday.

    when someone says something about being free of an addiction to a particular substance, the last thing you should do is respond by telling them how good that substance made you feel.

    Why? It was a good drug. She doesn't have a problem with it anymore, and neither do I, so what's wrong with talking about it?

    My (late) brother stopped going to meetings after he kicked crack because all they did was talk about when they did crack or the places they were when they did crack, which just made him want to go do crack. Talking about the drug is NOT a good idea.

    My boss thinks me worthy enough to give me another raise. Third one in 10 months, 18% total.

    I dunno which is more ridiculous, that or the way she put up with me for the ten years it took to get my brain under control.
