The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[Engine Boy]

Can't stop thinking about her. Hate long distance.
Fuck this shit.

The Flanger or your Girlfriend?

+1, but her. I just tried playing guitar to help me feel better. Nope. I didn't even laugh at this even though it was a great joke. It's almost absurd at the difference of happiness I experience with here compared to at my school without her. Granted I'm alone (no close friends at school anymore) which makes it worse.

I don't know, this may sound stupid or silly or whatever, but it's really hard to help feeling this intense longing. I've been in long distance relationships before, but missing her is so much worse. I start crying sporadically just from thinking about it. Seeing my counselor tomorrow, gonna talk to him about coping skills, etc. Until then, I'm hoping to drown this out with music.

just be glad you have emotions.

well, then, try the Hunter S. Thompson method: get drunk and write a over-the-top five thousand word screed about being up all night trying to write an article. he got away with that for half of the 1972 Presidential campaign coverage

That also happens to be some of the best political coverage of the last 50 years.

Hunter was a great writer in spite of the drugs, not because of them.

well, parts of it were great political coverage; a fair bit was the kind of self-indulgent bullshit that would become his stock-in-trade for the rest of his career. and i say this as someone who really likes his writing up to and including the campaign coverage.

That's gonzo for you. It's not about the story. It's the story behind the story.

I too am stuck on homework. Gotta transcribe a half-hour interview. Bleh. Should've had this done a week and a half ago.

I suppose that makes me number three. Only instead of homework, I'm writing lab manuals for training classes for work. Deadline is before my boss wakes up tomorrow, and I've still got 2 labs to go. I should get to bed about 2 or 3am.

Agreed. I'm of the opinion that Hunter wrote two-and-a-half good books, then spent the rest of his life much like a flickering lightbulb. Occasional flashes of awesome, and a whole lot of BZZZT, BZONK!

This is a good point that I often forget. Having something worth being this upset about does show how much it means overall.
Thank you for reminding me.

Teledildonics is the solution to both.

you CAN'T be delusional cuz everyone is 'delusional', more or less. not one person is really connected to reality. guess you have to be a buddha to see it 'as it is'. but in a way, it's everything all at once, you can't do wrong, you can't fuck up, cuz it's all a mathematical algorithm. it's gonna happen any way you want it to and you're gonna see it like you wanna see it (you know examples of this cuz you've done it a million times). and you? what are you then? the cutting edge of a developing fractal. everyone and everything is.
loops
what should I do to get out of it?
/end loop?
darn I'm confused

[foomanfat]

Why the jank does a tele switch cost over $15?!?!

[univalve]

My sparkle Motion was yesterday in Front of my House. My wife was Not able to get to the door (under the shower). So i wanted to pick it up today at the Post Office. They didn't found it?!?!?!!?!!! Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[jfrey]

This band I'm talking to better fucking take me in. Like the only Sludge band I have found near Boston that is looking for something other than a drummer.

If you feel like cheapin' out:

Unfortunately, you're at the mercy of guitar places for those switches, and the places that cater to guitar players are notoriously shitty.

since you mentioned Buddha, my recollection of Mahayana Buddhist teaching is that there are degrees or levels of illusion; i'm willing to go on record that you and i are probably functioning under a lesser degree of illusion in that sense than, say, Charles Manson. so in that sense you can fuck it up by actions and thoughts which sink you deeper into illusion and farther away from Buddha nature.

and that's where action meets up with the other part of the equation that's missing and makes it look like a loop: responsibility. the function of a "cutting edge" is not to dither about its nature; it is to cut. you have to make the decisions, perform the actions, and manifest the thoughts which determine your fate, and the consequences of those actions create the shape of things to come like the random-yet-mathematical development of the fractal.

my personal conclusion to the question of free will vs. determinism--which is what we're talking about here, i think, when you get to the heart of it--is that even if free will is an illusion one may as well act as if it's real. life is more interesting when i feel like an actor in the play.
