SBOTD - Good Boy! aka. Things You Don't Need to Hear

[Mourning Star]

it seems like a lot of people here have travelled to a place that is beyond depression

definitely...

being robbed at gunpoint, and being disappointed that the gun wasn't actually loaded, that was definitely beyond depression for me...

i think there is a trend that people here have been thru some shit

not saying that its any type of necessity - but fucked up situations encourage people to look at things differently


there arent many other ways

Every experience has lead up to me being who I am, for better or worse, I'm glad I had those experiences, no matter how bad they were at the time...

[LHX]

the alternative to being glad is to be crying victim


that gets you nothing but dampness

...and nasal congestion.

...and puffy eyes.

...and a release of endorphins to cheer you up.

I think its because when people open their minds to the enormous schlew of problems that this world has and not a clue how to do anything about it, many times it simply overwhelms and causes a fatalistic, nihilistic, or similar view point, and the "newly awakened" slides into depression.

Thats what I was talking about in that other thread when I said I thought suicidal nihillism was the result of taking one step in the right direction. Only now I'm all depressed and weepy and shit cos you said it better than me.

Not true. I suck at writing half the time, and the other half I'm passable.

Writing ain't EVER easy.

Sightly agressive hops, but sweeter than an IPA, very flowery aroma.

I LIKE the bitterness of hops. Any beer without them is slightly lacking in my book, even if its got everything else.

Well, when you have a non-Ozzy-and-Harriet existence, and you notice it, you start to question why that may be.

I grew up in a "Cleaver"-like home.  (I guess that would make me Wally)  While that sounds nice, in a way, I think tradgedy can be a little harsher because you have farther to fall.  You are used to insulation, even if it is possibly naive insulation.  Then something kicks you in the teeth and leaves you a bit winded and dizzied emotionally.  And when that happens at 13 it can especially throw you for a loop.  Of course, it shapes a person and you can't imagine yourself being any different, even if it means having someone you were very, very close to back in the plane of existence.

I agree.  Sierra's not my fave.  Just giving you the scoop, is all.[

And I thank you for that. I gotta get through all Wisconsin can give me before I go on to other beers anyway. Too much good beer in this state to ignore.

Oh yes, the "insidiousness" of being "normal."  Yeah, I've watched and felt the effects of this myself.  Though, I always lived a "false-Cleaver" experience...not the anti-Cleaver that my relatives and my dad had, but the "false" one.  Compared to them, we seemed much more Cleaver-like, and we made a good show for their benefit, and those at Church.

But it was a whole different scenario "in reality."  For which I'm grateful for, because it's that reality that ended up grounding me when my world crashed not too long ago.

I think, based on your reviews, you'd like it.  It's a popular brew for a reason--stands up to a lot of microbrews because of its complexity, but it's also terribly accessible as well. 

LMNO's description is pretty apt, as well.

Mind explaining cleaver? I'm guessing us sitcom or somethig that I've never seen, based on ozzie and harriet thing which I heard in fight club.
