My day, if your interested: Today (and yesterday kinda) I took part in those things people do. First I repaired a friends car. Went for a ride to the store. Met a 3rd, stopped for a beer. Then to get some fresh fish and meat for dinner fixins. Grabbed some sushi while there. Light snack, couple more drinks. Hanging in the beautiful weather. Nice dinner. All in all it was a perfect Sunday
So why am I so bored with it all? Why did I keep poppin on SP? Why couldn’t I wait to go home and veg out. Why can’t I just be effin dead?

Obviously your question is rhetorical, but it made me think.
Beautiful spring weekend. Perfect weather. Not fully present/participating.
Not sure if it is because of trying to leave the party (of life) before anyone notices I’m gone or if the Springtime itself seems too good to be true, made for a youth I am beyond.
Feeling that disconnect no matter where I am: I feel it here, everywhere. Not for lack of trying to be present, but I guess for that nagging desire to be presently and permanently absent. LMNO: I don’t know how old you are, being mid-life, every good thing, no matter how sweet has a hint of bitterness, and every bitterness a touch of sweetness.
I hope it all falls in place for you.
I’m at a bar having dinner and drinking beer right now, and yet I’m still checking SP. I guess it’s because I’m not presently conversing with anyone at this establishment, and also because I’m a solitary figure in life. Oh well.
What are you having for dinner?
Beer-battered fish and sweet potato fries. It was good.
*living vicariously* Thanks, neph!!
Thank you both
Yeah, it’s good to be home (with the dogs or cats or serenity) and kick your shoes off. . . . Glad you posted what you did tonight, because sometimes I try so hard to do the “self care” thing which includes socializing (introvert here) and find myself feeling like you did today. It’s good that you helped a friend and shared a meal, regardless.
I realize this post will quietly(quietly being the emphasized word) get pushed into the nothingness of sp purgAtory but it was nice that you took the time to read/reply. It’s nothing new but my feelings of despair were a little stronger and I was feeling worse about it. Honestly I think the alcohol and low caloric intake (comparatively to most days) both played a part
A toast to LMNO & nepheliad: you inspired me to break out the pinot noir (the cheap stuff).
Cheers to bad influences! *clink*
I gotta drink to that! Cheers
This is the least alone I’ve felt in days, thanks guys!! <3
Seriously, I played a part in someone’s happiness? Your so welcome.
LMNO is a great acronym.
Let’s Make Noisy Offspring.
Lick My Nipples, Officer.
Let’s Mold Nifty Origami.
Like My Nasty Orifice?
Haha, sorry. That’s all I’ve got
I have a sneaky suspicion Morris already knows, we’ve done this. Shortly thereafter Wald started a post (challenge) to use the entire alphabet
Missed it. Do tell!!
Leave My Name Outta this, mkay? 🙂
Clever, but yours were more colorful.
Awwe, I see what you did there. SQ, did you pick it up?
And my b on my hosting duties, I’m trying to catch up. Does anyone need anything? I’ve got 7 kinds of chips
My scarred brain works, sometimes.
You’re such a guy: chips.
Potato, Corn, Pita, Kale, Sweet Potato, Veggie, and Cow?
I knew you had it after I hit send. That Bastard stole my thunder and did it better, Hehe
Yeah, you can tell by the time stamp.
Live music, huh? Which bands?
It didn’t click in my brain right away…
And Oh Idunno, I’m rather eclectic. My first concert was megadeath. But I’ve seen things from Lil Wayne to cage the elephant to Eric Church to 311. Spent a few years seeing live local music.
What do you fancy?
Just my way of figuring out how old you are without asking.
Older than some, younger than others LMNO is.
Okay, read your question wrong, so my response was nonsensical.
I like Classic Rock and it’s subdivisions of Psychedelic, Southern, Blues, hard, etc., as well as so-called alternative rock, which is “still rock and roll to me” which Billy Joel’s song of the same name is NOT.
I also enjoy some folk music, Jazz/Big Band (esp. Ella’s songbook era), some classical, and occasionally songs I hear on the radio that I have no idea who they are.
@Morris, thank, Yoda.
Q: Why were the Star Wars films all released out of order?
A: In charge of sequencing, Yoda was.
Morris!! Love it!! You told a g-rated joke that wasn’t nihilistic and didn’t mention orifices or excretions. **I’m getting choked up**
Maybe we should take your temperature.
C’mon, man. I’m being your Gracie Allen, here!
Yoda has a bunch of great lines.
“Try? Try or try not; There is no try. Do or do not”.
Yoda is a master with some really great quotes.
The fact that he’s a 3 foot tall bald green fictionary puppet is irrelevant.
I love that guy.
You won’t respect me in the morning, but we are polar opposites. I’m a Star Trek fan.
One of Morris’ favorite kiss-off lines when he’s mad at people is saying “Live long and prosper” and doing the Vulcan salute, because like Spock he doesn’t trust emotions or know how to resolve issues with people n’ shit, so he must be a fan too.
It’s funny and sad how stalkers base their version of reality off of mistaken assumptions.
Oh well.
What’s the point in reasoning with someone who can’t be reasoned with? Seems like an exercise in futility.
If somebody has a problem with me being on this site, then maybe they should quit and find a new playground? Idk
I thought it was . . .
Laughing My Nuts Off!
We’ll have to ask him, better bring snacks.

There’s been a few posts recently that in one way or another eluded to the ancient philosophies of yin & yang. I’m curious to know more, where your interests lie on the matter?
That will have to wait for another day (or Google) but male/female; nothing is purely good or evil and it gets a lot more in-depth than that.
I’m familiar, which is why in intrigued by your words. Curious how vested you are and where it stems from. I leave open the possibility that more than one form of spirituality makes reference to these forces of energy and I suspect I could learn a thing or two
Yeah, we’d probably have to get high irl for me to go those places. (I haven’t gotten high in over a decade, maybe two) We’d talk for hour and hours, think ourselves deep, and get absolutely nowhere. (I studied philosophy & psychology and different religions, but am no sage, believe me). One of these days, if you really want, i’ll dig up an old post i wrote for someone that roughly outlines my current outlook. You’re sorry already, right?
Sorry? Not at all I am
