The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Groot]

I am a firm believer that it is a good thing to make mistakes, to fail, to grow, to learn...all that jazz. I'm sitting here thinking, despite this, how sometimes when you make a mistake or the failure becomes so much more evident that how do you deal with that? My own anger and arrogance doesn't let me forgive and forget those I feel who slight me, but a small part of me knows that to smile, to grow, to learn I have to let the negativity go. It's not mentally or physically healthy to always be looking for a fight. It's kinda funny to me that the one person I had nailed to a cross as evil was the one right about some things all along. A new year is coming, new beginnings are soon upon all of us. I hope, rather I know, I do in fact want to be more positive, different. I know every day isn't going to be a sprinkle of sunshine, but it maybe won't be so fire in the eyes dark either.

People can be idiots and/or absolute scum but still right from time to time. Sometimes we miss things just because we're too close to the situation. Hopefully you can work this out without exploding in an unhealthy manner or doing something you can't undo later.

I'm not really upset anymore. I've realized in the last few months it got me nowhere and I've been more productive, happy and free when I just don't linger on the ill will of others. I appreciate the concern.

We still do it, although it's hilarious when we get lazy and all give each other $100 gift cards. So basically we ended up having not have spent any money at all!

The fact that my 4 day weekend ends soon and also that my legs have been killing me ever since that 14-16 mile run yesterday, imagine the pain will last a few days. Overdid it but I think it was worth it.

Some jerks are street racing near my house, and I keep hearing their engines and tires squeal. It's rather annoying.

Vince Vaughn is probably a master troll online.

Not sure, don't think I've seen him in awhile. Just finished packing for my trip upstate and then to Minnesota, leaving in the morning from ABQ/Rio Rancho. Hope it goes well, family trips tend to be stressful!

I had my internet and cable cancelled about three weeks ago and I'm surprisingly coping with it pretty well. I actually kinda enjoy not having internet and cable actually. Brings me back to how it used to be and keeps me off my phone as much.

I think many people would be less stressed and high-strung overall if they got off the internet and smartphone more often.

I see a lot of "I'm going to put you on my ignore list" comments like that actually means something towards the person they're choosing to ignore?

That's like blocking someone on facebook/twitter who you never talked to before.

I used to have a problem with the ignore option, but realized there are some people you just can't help. Lord knows I rub some people the wrong way. Though when someone has to announce [x] is on their ignore list, other than context or teasing within a conversation, it's even more cringe worthy imo.

I've never put anyone on ignore on any message board ever. While there are many times I wish I would (trolls), I generally prefer to be able to not get too trapped in an echo chamber. I find a lot of the problem with social media is when people start only seeing and hearing what they want to hear.

Then again I guess it's less stressful when you don't run into so many people you want to punch through your computer screen.

You ever come across someone you don't hate, but can't stand for reasons. Then out of nowhere, they troll you so hard you have to laugh because it's so damn clever? I. Hate. Them.

"She's out there.... setting up camp
alone.......in a strange galaxy
even right now she's settling
in for a long nap
by the light of her new sun....in her new home"


Amazing! My reaction as well.

System of a Down working on new album

From Loudwire:

“Our playing ability is better than it ever has been and we’re trying new things,” Dolmayan says, “We’re not trying to make Toxicity Part II, just because it was by far our biggest album. This needs to be something for a new generation of SOAD fans, so everyone can see we’re not resting on our laurels.” The drummer also shared SOAD has written a whopping 15 songs over the past six months! “I want everyone on board and feeling good about it, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish right now,” expresses Dolmayan.

Looking at the calendar saying to self, seriously can not believe tomorrow is December 1st and 25 days til Christmas. It sure doesn't feel like it at all, haven't even started with Christmas things (tree and etc) around the house.
