It doesn't appear to me that you don't like people, Branh . . you have an engaging personality . . but, I know what you mean . . sometimes people can be so lame, lol
Do you like to write stuff, like poetry, or short fiction?
Novels take a lot of focus, since in order to create a page-turner . . you have to pay close attention to sub-plots and put bigger emphasis on developing character traits, since the reader has a bigger time span to become intimatately involved with the evolution of the character and how they move the plot along.
Short fiction is much easier . . it usually takes me years to write a good novel, but, short fiction I can do in several hours because the details aren't so important. Dark is good . . look at King . . especially with this day and age . . people like the Macabre (is that spelled right) . . hey, isn't King a Virgo?
His work is extremely odd at times and he kicks ass.
My thinking process is scattered at times . . so, a lot of times . . my writing is uncomprehensible . . but, your pretty articluate. You think in details . . I'd bet you'd be a good writer, Branh.
Woohoo, people are posting at this time of night— I just got off work... it's raining... and will be like this all weekend... then monday we're expecting a big freeze.
Google says it's 53 F right now, and rainy, and we're expecting a high of 35 and low of 21 on Monday... but Ohio has gotten much colder than that in my lifetime, so it's really nothing.
I'm in the Appalacians . . and it's a little cold, but, not too bad yet. Historically, we get a lot of snow, but, not too many deep freezes. A couple years ago, I was snowed in for 5 days because I'm on top of a mountain that's a dirt road . . no snow plows up here.
Oh, video games . . I should have known that, stupid me . . my son has all those things. I bought him a . . um . . 360 something for Christmas . . xbox, that's it. He's addicted to Halo . . poor guy . . tough life . . I guess being addicted to drugs would be worse.
That's a matter of opinion, the drug addict on a high might disagree with you... and the drug addict would probably pawn an Xbox 360 to get more drugs.
I guess I'm fortunate, in that I have no addiction to drugs, instead I have the stupidest addictions in the world... yes, I may have been arrested recently (a month and a couple days ago) as a consequence of binge drinking, but I can assure you I am far from being addicted to alcohol, and I understand that's a pretty bad addiction too.
"and the drug addict would probably pawn an Xbox 360 to get more drugs."
lol, that's one thing I can say, I've never had a problem with. Smoke cigs, drink coffee and get high once in a while . . which I realize are all drugs . . but, I don't consider them like that, really . . never did crack, and alcohol isn't much of an attraction. My biggest problem is nicotene.
Whatever happened with that vpm? Did you get out of it? I can't believe you went to that lady's house, lol. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be laughing . . but, it's funny if you think about it.
Branh, from what I've heard, Atlanta is a big drug dealing town . . of course, one shouldn't listen to rumors.
I'm a smoker and a drinker... and I can't say I think with 100% sureness that I am addicted to nicotine, I still think it's a "bad habit"... And even my drinking is usually in moderation, I do have my nights of stupidity, the college scene and all. And since OSU lost the national championship I haven't had many parties to go to.
Ha, PA... I still tell that story for laughs every now and then... I do see alot of humor in my own stupidity.
No I haven't gotten off the hook yet. My next court appearance in Jan 26th early in the morning... yes they sure do know how to torture a night owl... I rarely see the sun before noon.
Yeah, Pisces and addiction . . that can be a real issue sometimes.
Smoking weed is my thing . . but, even then, it's not everyday . . a social smoker.
Coffee is bad for me, too . . I can't live without cafiene. Well, I guess I could live without . . just don't want to.
My husband smokes, too . . he's not the typical Virgo . . he can be messy sometimes, doesn't eat right, can be lazy at times, drinks too much, doesn't like sex. Sometimes, I think he's a throwback, lol
And honestly? you are disgusting... you work for the devil as long as it pays you..! You wouldn't dare to say this shit right in their face when you lick up their ass for their moneys...
I own Xbox360/PS3/psp/ and wii? thats for the kids.. I refuse to use ?em? juts following the world news.. and the occasional chit chat on the net with friends....
He's 50, I'm 47 . . so a couple years older. He's had a hard life, really.
He had a total bitch for a first wife, who used his kids against him to get what she wanted from him, he did 5 years in the Georgia State Penitentary back in the 80's, broke a couple vertebra's in '93 . . so, I don't give him a lot of grief about his life style . . it hasn't been easy. If drinking makes his life easier, then I'm ok with that.
I think I work for the devil... it's a bank... close enough? first 2 weeks of the year... 45 hours in between the 2nd and the 5th, 44 between the 8th and the 12th... did I mention I am still "considered" part-time by them so they don't have to pay for my bene's?
Well, that's how I am, no bene's at all, because I don't want to pay for them... had I been considered full time... ya know for working 40 hours on a regular basis like I do... they'd give me medical and that's better than the nothing I have.
"I am still "considered" part-time by them so they don't have to pay for my bene's?"
Isn't that just a crock of shit? Greedy bastards . . anything to save a dime, while the employees get worked to the bone. That's something that really pisses me off. Don't even get me started on our health system . . I'll rant for hours.
Yeah, Branh . . tell me about it . . "The Chain Gang" . . he was treated miserably in there . . like a dog . . worse than a dog. He was in DeKalb, in Decatur . . screwed up in a bar and somebody got . . more than hurt. He paid the price, did his time, but, really he's a good guy . . he just messed up. We all do.
Hey, Q... I'm not far off from getting myself into one of those 50hrs/wk situations... but that's after I get myself into a job related to my field of study. (IT)
What is it about money with you guys? My husband is the same way . . watches every penny.
While, I do my best to spend as much as I can on stupid stuff . . give half away to whomever needs it . . he's like a vulture, money, money, money and I couldn't care a less. lol
So long as I have food and a roof over my head . . money doesn't mean anything.
Not that you guys care, since you're men . . but, I spend most of my money on lingerie. Now that I will buy expensively . . everything else . . I'lll go to Walmart.
Most of my money (his) I give to our son and the grandchildren . . but, husband, he doesn't like to spend a penny. I can give him 5 bucks and a week later, he has 4 left.
I wouldn't say I horde money, but I sure do like having it... in order to spend of course. But I know where 90% of it goes... the other 10% is "overhead"...
Though currently I am sitting on what I would consider a small fortune... it's a sizeable sum of money that I could do alot with (alot in college kid terms, not as in adult who is going out to buy a new car tomorrow terms)...
I'm sitting on it until my little trial is over, I could end up owing the city $ 250 for the fine, $ 100 for the night in jail, and court costs... oh not to mention if the public defender sucks, I'm going to have to reach out of my own poverty stricken pockets to pay for a lawyer... Yes the courts found me "indigent" so I could have a free lawyer.
I don't think I'm that bad off considering I have no kids and really only have to take care of myself.
I hope everyone had a wonderful day, and an even better one tomarrow.
🙂
