stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I hate the throwaway nature of okcupid dates and how a cute girl won't even politely decline a second date, instead just not replying at all to a text about it.

Also I seem to not be good enough for the girls who I think are good enough for me. Stupid high standards.

I just moved out to the mountains in Durango, CO and my internet connection is so weak, it took a full 10 minutes to successfully open up this text box and thus, to post..

I've had a couple of good experiences, but generally the girls I like don't like me, and I'm not interested in the girls who like me. A little phenomenon I like to call Costanza syndrome.

It's helped me understand my taste in women a bit more though, in that it's allowed me to tighten up my standards a little and realise that it's ok to be a bit shallow sometimes, especially since most girls on that site are anyway.

I should start a blog about okcupid from a male perspective..

I don't wanna pay to add both bacon and avocado to my Jimmy John's, but I'm not sure which I'd rather add...

Be sure to note the douchey girls who are in relationships, but still use the website.

online dating sites are absolutely horrid and bring out the worst in everyone. avoid at all costs.

I'm too socially retarded to meet girls in real life. Then again, I'm also too socially retarded to take any risks on a first date, so probably appear boring most of the time.

You gotta start doing some blow or something before hand. Maybe carry a knife with you and just wave it around at random times as well. Girls want you to be little crazy. Maybe slip her some ecstasy. I dunno something to make her really remember the experience.

I don't know if you guys have seen "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret", but I have told a girl that I am originally from Leeds. Worked for a while til she caught on that everything I said was coming out of my ass. Made for a great night though.

Maybe I should just start going on dates really fucking drunk. The only times I've ever picked up randomly have been when I went out while drunk, and somehow ended up going home with a girl.

Sick of my job. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder how the fuck I got into this shitty position.

ant to get back into coding but kind of feel like I have been out of it so long (3 years) and that I'm too old (30) to have a good shot at making any difference / doing anything interesting / getting a job doing it. Let alone that I can't think of any cool projects to work on.

And there is so much cool shit going on right now that it's kind of hard to focus on one thing. Haskell was looking awesome and now I'm thinking node.js is even cooler. But my town is a boring ass .NET/C# town. Maybe I should just brush up on my PHP/MySQL, I have seen a couple of postings for that.

Also that recent thread about losers, with the post about a loser being someone who can't make positive differences in their own life, really stung.

But I'm not giving up yet.

On the bright side my gearlust is pretty much gone. I just don't give a shit anymore.

Well, I kind of made it sound like I'm not interested in making tunes anymore. Which is inaccurate although I've finally accepted that I'll only ever be a faceless bedroom producer/wanker, which is fine cos shit is fun. Rather, what I meant is that I've recognized that "improving" the "setup" is just a distraction. Literally the ONLY productive thing I can do is work with the tools in front of me.

i drunk whiskey ONCE and got really sick off it

I got sick on whiskey last weekend.

i got drunk on this crap last night, i'm just out of anything to mix it with today and being whiny. it's pretty bad stuff. what's really irritating me in the first world tonight is Ctrlr, or midi yoke, i can't tell. probably both. FURIUS

It takes an excruciatingly long time to upload albums to bandcamp. Furthermore, I think I mistook the 350x350 tiny album art minimum as being the specific size bandcamp required on past uploads.

Also, I woke up this morning with a random "what if I never have a kid and then regret it at the age of 50" panic. Never had one of those before. It passed when I actually got my ass out of bed. I think I have an inability to worry about things for an extended period of time, which is good in the sense that I remain content for the most part, but because I never worry about the future I never prepare for it either. I think my 40+ years are going to be extremely difficult.

I accidentally spilled half of my noodles down the sink drain whilst trying to drain the water out of the spaghetti before making the sauce. I said the word "fuck" several times.

I don't know what Mr. Lotus sampled here (the strings):

I had a couple good experiences myself in the past, one little summer fling, and one I dated/fucked for a couple months til she went all crazy on me. (which seems to be a common case with girls met online)
