Thanks civ! But I'm all good brah.

I don't think it is wise financially speaking for me. I have a US Polo Assn. watch that I got from Sears for like $15 bucks. They make clothes, and they make watches, very diversified business.

Deciding on another game to play since I just finished Sekiro. I need a break from these types of games, so it won’t be Elden Ring.

I kinda got an idea on which one I want to play.

Thinking about the fact that Monday is another day off from work, but I have to get up at 8 AM because of an appointment for my car. Ugh. I mean, I was already going to town anyway to sell some movies and CDs at Rasputin Music, but I'm not looking forward to getting up that early.

I don't get the point of decorating undercarriages of cars with strobe/disco/LED lights. Does that serve a purpose other than, well, I can't think of a damned thing LMAO. No, really, is there a purpose?

It's to distract other drivers

Wow my Girl must've been cold last night, she slept in 3 pairs of sweats, two pairs of wool socks, two of my hoodies AND had every blanket we own draped over her. Our thermostat apparently quit working, it was 60 this morning and the heat never kicked on, we keep it set at 65 in the winter. Sad thing is every time I'd move closer to her to help generate body heat (if you know..) she'd wind up pushing me away.

Right hand my phone strolling through these messages.
Left hand picking my nose.
Wondering how long the war with russia and ukraine will take.
Gas goes up just like benzine and now we get inflation on top of it.

I ordered a mid-priced ($349) turntable from Amazon. I was hoping they'd use UPS or even FedEx as the shipper but they're using their own people. I see how they carelessly throw stuff around and even leave stuff in the wrong buildings so I'm a little worried.

I'm sure you'll be fine but if by chance they damage it, I'm sure Amazon will be quick to take care of it.
Now you just need another turntable and a microphone

These things are backordered everywhere so I'll be SOL if it arrives damaged

Fingers crossed that it shows up in fine shape then.


My mom got a Jeep Moab for about $52,000 back in 2019 I think. She told me today that she traded it in and she got $49,000 for the trade-in. I thought that was pretty incredible.

That's why I like to buy local. Especially for high-end tech products. it helps. as for what I am thinking, I am thinking how does a man like Prince do what he does. He never let up and was already recording. AND finishing it. Even R.E.M. had that workhorse ethic for MANY years. I can't even get my butt to finish a song. Much less a WHOLE album. I need some of that motivation.

It's like a cartoon.

Dude, welcome to my life! Except it's an everyday thing.

At least you have someone. Be thankful.

They do on most days. You just take it for granted, forget about it, and only take notice of the consequences on those days when it's reversed. We all do it.
It's human nature.

[fighthefutureofhd]

But dude that's just it. it doesn't. Trust me when I say the mundane doesn't go right for me. Something is always screwed up in my day. My world is like that. I've learned to live with it for the most part.

[Dubstar]

long story short and minus the explicit details: if you arrange and setup for a *cough* 'threesome' and it doesn't go the way YOU were expecting, and everyone else had a fine time, STFU (don't be a grump)

I was up at Valley Fair mall yesterday and didn't know that they had an IWC boutique. I don't know much about the brand at all but they seem to be pretty highly regarded. Had a real nice chat with the sales associate. Not sure if he knew that I wouldn't be able to afford one of their watches anytime soon lol I had seen one online that I fancy and they had it in store. The strap version is $7,250 and the bracelet is $8,200

Nice. (also noticed the quote haha)

I don't mind carrying a cell phone that is worth a little more than my car, but I think wearing a watch that's worth as much as a 2010 Rav4 is a bit much for me.

I heard on the Scotty Kilmer youtube channel that high-end car salesman often ask "what's your plane situation?" (as in private jet situation) as a way to break the ice and weed out the looky-loos at high-end auto dealerships. Could be bull**** but it sounds true so I'm assuming it's true.

I'd be like "*****, if I had a private jet, you think I'd be here?"

I did see a nice Rolls Royce today. Not sure if the driver was the owner or not. I didn't see any stickers on it so I don't think he was a salesman filling up the tank.
