Obligatory something something and yellow snow post

in #thoughts4 years ago (edited)

I have never seen snow, been in snow or pissed in snow.

I have been to a foam party which is pretty much the same thing. I guess it is Christmas and other things so yeah you do that. Have fun and stuff but for me, the only reason the day matters is because in my country it is a public holiday. That means I get to have off and not just that tomorrow is also a holiday. They call it freedom day or some shit. I don't think the name matters, it is just another day off from work. Yippee me.

The ultimate in good this year is the fact that I do not have to spend any one of my off days with people in my vicinity, especially not with people that believe that family matters. All in all a pretty good day off.


Carpe Diem


The only thing I seized was a fuckton of sleep, and yes I do chastise myself for wasting the time sleeping when I should be using the time off to do something productive like immigrating.

I guess apart from making an obligatory Xmas post I also need to start thinking about resolutions. I don't really like being tied down, commitment issues maybe. So I think a better approach is to have new years what-ifs.

What if


What if I just keep doing what I am doing?

I will most likely gather the courage to kill myself. Not a bad thing, honest, but it does sound a bit drama queen. Nothing against queens but you know what they are like, very anal. No, something else would be nice.

What if I stop smoking. What if I go to the gym. What if I actually finish a project. Now I can dream a bit also you know. Like what if I got a job I liked. Dream a bit, not go mental. Maybe a job I like for half the time?

That seems like a fair trade-off... Then again technically I do have one, I like it just fine when I am home which is half the time I am awake.

Resolutions are hard. What if I just put a pin in it all and when something I would like to change comes up I do it just a bit different. Like now I won't be lighting my cancer stick with the convenience of a lighter but instead, I will make it inconvenient and use the oven.

Another thing I wonder is: What if I was nicer, but this does depend on how isolated I am. I am a very nice person when I am alone, you should see me...

Right now though, what if, I just shut the fuck up.

Come visit us here! Btw, we have a flood of South Africans lately, from health workers to office workers. Interesting. When I bumped new peeps and learned they are from SA, I thought of you and @fionasfavourites, like always instantly 🤣

I don't like new year resolutions, I am not good at keeping them 😜

I would have to see what nefarious purposes takes all these South Aricans there. Who knows you might have uncovered something that I can bust wide open my dear Watson :)

Yip resolutions suck unless it is FullHD or 4K

I like your positive outlook. Makes me feel good that I'm not the only one having a hard time... But somehow still hopeful.

In Afrikaans, we have a saying "Look North and keep moving forward." It sounds better in Afrikaans and has profanity in but you get the gist :)

Obviously I think what kinds of hard times matter, some require immediate action and a game plan... others really just need a nap. Some you just resign yourself and control what you can while hoping it is better soon.

I guess we hope that others let us breathe and we silently work away at the things we can actually control. Goodluck, hope you get to breathe :)

I like the expression looking north and moving forward. I think understand the Afrikaan nuiance. Sonds a little like "grin and bear it".

Thank you

Don't compare foam to snow. It's like having sex with a latex glove on your dick. It's not the same

I will take your word for it, for me, I think the end result is both are wet.

I've been pretty AWOL the past few days, lol.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but this PSA cmmercial makes me laugh so hard!

I hope you can see it, being you're overseas...

Nice vid, true. That is why when I go smoke I always say that I am working on my cancer.

I smoked but quit 15 years ago. I figured I'd worked on it long enough and it was time to be free of it. The patch did the trick for me, after having tried to stop many times on my own and failed.
