Plus I Got Depression

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'm sorry you're having a hard time, Trip.

[Triple Zero]

LMNO and Nigel well it's just the same usual stuff I've been battling for the past couple of years.

(Kind of same reason that PD.com front page is not going anywhere fast, fortunately there's no money involved)

It's actually really good I did get something done today, I was this close to just saying fuck it (again) and giving up (again), those 15 lines of code were written in the last hour before I called my bro to tell him I finished the stuff I promised him for today. Cause at least when you finish something, you don't have to do it again and the finish-line of this elephant-sized mosquite-project gets another baby step closer. Maybe I'll actually be done in a week or two, if I can keep this up.

What made me sad was the fact that I realized I was telling myself to be proud of this really eeny teeny bitsy accomplishment that nonetheless made me agonize all day. I mean, the previous week, I actually managed to finsih the tiny bit of work I set out for the day in the morning, without too much agonizing, and after a few hours of rest I could actually do something fun with my spare time, which is when I made that squiggly orange randomized loopy thing I posted in B&B.

The crap bit is I realized if I finish this project, people may think that I actually am able to do this. And want me to do it again. Well not making a website, I dunno if I ever want to program software for money ever again, Bachelor's degree in Computing Science or not, but just finishing a project in general, finishing a project. And then I got sad because it was such a fucked up thought.



Dok Howl, ignorant and fun you say? Well my plan was to spag on the board for a while, drink a few beers, maybe smoke one and watch a movie, then go to bed. Oh and strain, cool and freeze the stock, of course. Gotta finish that otherwise all the simmering and stuff will be wasted. I suppose your suggestions are a bit more exciting? Some friends of mine are playing poker tonight, but I don't really like poker, seeing that they're usually better at it than me.

In the ignorant-and-fun department of stuff-to-do-outside, there's still the roundabout around the corner, that, unlike every other roundabout in the Netherlands does not have a butt-ugly piece of art in the middle of it, but I still don't have a good idea for something big and heavy enough to place there, that looks enough like it could be concept art to last at least a week or so.

I would love to hear your suggestions, anyway

1.  If you have a car, improve it's appearance and go for a drive.  Spiky bits are recommended.  Also, mustache.  Big, obnoxious mustache.  Play Wagner or Orff on the radio LOUDLY, and scream battlecries at pedestrians and other drivers.  Best done with friends.

2.  You're in Europe, so I assume irresponsible firearm use is out of the question.

3.  Kidnap poker buddies and go make life more confusing/amusing for a store clerk.  Have everyone walk in one at a time, and ask for something stupid/obviously not sold at that shop.  Have the last guy pose as a survey taker for customer satisfaction for that item.

4.  Go for a hike with your GF.  One of those kind of hikes (wilderness nookie is a very potent way of generating feel-good brain chemicals).  If it's cold as fuck, so much the better...bring a sleeping bag.  Best done in daylight.

5.  Seriously, leave the substances alone if you're feeling down.  Exercise/hilarity won't cure depression, but they'll sure as hell take the edge off of it, and substances will make you feel better in the short run, but will fucking your shit over time.

Ok that only leaves option three, since my GF is away for the weekend until monday, and I don't have a driver's license (I will get lessons, soon-ish, though)

I will check what the poker-buddies are up to. This is a good plan.

I definitely agree with the wilderness-nookie btw, but, lacking the GF is going to make it sort of troublesome and a wilderness-wank ... I dunno

LIES THOSE DEER ARE ASKING FOR IT JUST LOOK HOW THEY STICK THAT TAIL UP

[Triple Zero]

You have deer, over there?

We have pigeons and cats. And if you go to the outskirts of the city somewhat maybe a rabbit or a squirrel. And if you go further, there will be cows and sheep, and .. ostriches and some llamas and, really, those fucking farmers couldn't simply stick to proper Dutch cattle could they? noooo had to have fucking ostriches. wtf.

We have:

Feral ostriches (from farms).  Let me say that again:  FERAL OSTRICHES!!!1  Fucking win.
Coyotes
Deer
Javelinas (shoot on sight)
Bears that have acquired a taste for people, from eating illegals trying to cross the Santa Ritas.
Bobcats
Freakishly large cougars
A dozen different poisonous snakes
Scorpions.  Millions and millions of scorpions.
Tarantulas
Tarantula hawks (God is a psycho)
Wild dogs
Cattle (in the mountains)
Killer bees.  Huge fucking swarms of killer bees.  No regular bees.
Tweakers
Blood-sucking beetles.  3" long.  Not kidding.
Hornets the size of your finger.

I'm forgetting some stuff, but you get the idea.

AWESOME

Javelinas (shoot on sight)

They look like wild pigs? So I assume you shoot them on sight because they make good bacon?

Coyotes
Bobcats

awesome?

biggest wild animal I saw lately was when my gf was driving us back home from her parents in Germany and suddenly there was this little herd of boars crossing the road. We didn't hit them fortunately. They have wild animals there, like um boars and deer, mostly. And squirrels.

Tarantulas

I once saw on TV you can take a tarantula by the body with chopsticks, and then fry it in hot oil. Ever tried that? Is it any good? How about with chocolate dip?

Tarantula hawks (God is a psycho)

I looked that up and oh fuck. We have similar wasps but they do it with caterpillars. But they are quite rare and not nearly as big.

Blood-sucking beetles.  3" long.  Not kidding.
Hornets the size of your finger.

I'm forgetting some stuff, but you get the idea.

Well fuck me, if we had all that creepy stuff ... two things .. you bet your ass I'd want the right to bear arms and second .. I might think twice about getting wilderness nookie :-P

No, because they're vicious little bastards that will gut you with one swipe.

It kind of adds to the effect, actually.

[LMNO]

Hey, aren't you allowed to shoot tweakers on sight, too?

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Kidnap poker playing amigos. Get them to play poker with socks on cocks in middle of roundabout.

Lulz potential is huge.

And rog is on correct cycle about feeling bad and altering state of mind with beer or weed.

Non wilderness fap might help you tho. Endorphins ftw!

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

Dok,
Has door-ed a few, though.

OR

GET GF HOME, GO HAVE WILD MONKEY SEX IN PARKED CAR ON PUBLIC STREET.

Maria and I do this occasionally, and it's fun.  Really fun.

Triple, are you suffering from Programmers Depression?

[Doktor Howl]

Really, really fun.
