Blerg. Stuck on the T. My neighbor smells like BO and salami :/
And my clothes are inside out
Anyone seen that Korean zombie movie Train to Busan (sp?)
I might need to see it for research.

Snap! I just went through Quincy. Small world.
Missing my father something awful lately. So many friends and family have passed - many way too young - that the world seems empty and hollow. Sometimes it's hard to come up with a reason to stay.

~grimaces~ I know where you are coming from. I wish my Dad were still around. Having said that, if he were, then odds are that I would b&*$+ slap him for all the stupid stuff he had done (gambling debts and not taking care of his health) before I gave him a hug and told him that I loved him. There are also more than a few friends that I miss talking to.
Good morning David. I hope that your week is going well.

February is a cruel month for the psyche. I have been battling a lot of down thoughts myself these past few weeks. Some situation-based, some I'm sure due to SAD.
Hang in there. Spring is near. There is an entire gorgeous, mysterious, fantastic planet out there to experience. What comes after comes for us all in its time. No sense in rushing it.
All we get is now, and it's up to us to make it good.

Sorry to hear it Treppa. These things are hard, but I bet there are plenty of good reasons to stick around.

+1 ! :)
I think it is certainly easy (Sometimes easier) to feel down than happy. (Especially as adults, we feel down, or worried, or sick, or yadda yadda, and it adds up) I don't know why that is, it certainly would make more sense (or at least be better) if it were reversed. :P
As a certain monkey has been known to say,
(OK, I have old brain, I'm paraphrasing) ;P
"Sometimes you just have to decide to be happy and have a good day, no matter what the world throws at you."
Corny, true, but it does seem to work. For me at least.
Certainly It's not always easy, but it does work. :)
Hang in there Treppa!

It's coming up on the one year mark for me- Dad passed away st. Patrick's day last year.
His first name was Patrick.
Some days I still expect to see him on his fav spot in front of the TV, catching the latest from BNN. He was an avid day trader after he retired and loved playing the market. It often seems so surreal how normal the world looks without him. I mean- Dad's GONE! Shouldn't the world have changed more?

Work related I'm assuming?
It's interesting to see the slow tide of immigration occur. Quincy, once a hotbed of Yankee revolutionary fervor, slowly transitioning into the Irish in the 19th Century, then the Italians, then the East Europeans, and now Russians and Chinese.
In fact North Quincy is where my Tatar lawyer friend dwells. Although not ethnically 'Russian' she does hail from Russia.

interesting....
As a man of Brooklyn, I find immigrant communities outside of New York fascinating. It seems everyone's doing it wrong though, lol.

That celtic punk rock is great thing to listen. I might not understand a lot but it still sounds good.

I understand. This week has been an intensely emotional one for me. The anniversary of my younger brother's death, Valentine's day and my 10th Anniversary. Literally three days in a row. Which is a reminder that a few years back my wife's mom had a stroke on our anniversary, which in turn inspired us to have our son when we did so she would meet at least one kid of ours while she was still with us.
Life is ups and downs continuously, and while it can be overwhelming, especially during the down points, there's always going to be an up, as long as we aren't so lost that we miss it.
Find comfort in those around you during the downs, we all need that support, and those are the same people you'll be happy to share the ups with. Losing people is some of the hardest pain you'll ever feel, but the good that comes form letting people in is worth it.

Next class is late March, so I'm practicing shading and form drawing. Nothing exciting, just putting in the work to master the skills.

Nice, and that's how you do it, practice, practice, practice... I sound like my art teachers now... hope you're having fun ^w^
Ugh. My wisdom tooth is killing me today. Positive waves appreciated as I head into tomorrow's appointment with the oral surgeon. I already have a refrigerator stocked with strained soups, vanilla yogurt, and Jello.
oh man. I'm glad we rescheduled.
For what it's worth, you are one of the most awesome people I know.You are all very kind. Thanks so much for the support.

Oh, you flirt. ;)
Good luck with the extraction. Don't do what I did and wait until you are in pain to start the pain meds; start them as soon as you get home! Remember to squeeze liquids into your mouth, don't suck on a straw for a couple of days. Don't want to pull the clots.

A year is a tough anniversary. My dad's been gone for nine now. I am glad to be past the point of suddenly and randomly breaking down in tears, even in public. That tapered off after the first 2-3 years. But yeah, how does the world keep turning?

Even damn near a continent removed, contacting him maybe once a month, I can't imagine what it will be like when my father passes. Or rather, I don't want to imagine it, because of how bad it hurt every time I try.
More than anything, it's that feeling that keeps me here. Knowing what it feels like means I'll suffer anything to keep others from feeling it.

Don't feel bad. I live near Boston and I only get about 50% of it. They are truly a world of their own there
Went by Quincy again. Waved at you Shadow. Now I'm in Roxbury sitting in a bus where I will cool my heels (quite literally) until 830
Oh and I93 to Melnea Cass to Malcom X mid afternoon in a 40' bus? I don't particularly recommend it.

I always try to keep in mind the wisdom of Clarence from It's a Wonderful Life: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
