stupid first world problems you're dealing with

i'm drinking REALLY bad whiskey, and i'm the one that bought it. for myself.

worst whiskey i've ever had was j.t.s. brown which i bought to try to be cool like Fast Eddie Felson. i ended up being the opposite of cool. it's cheap. i got the bottled in bond vers which is 100proof and i think a buck more than regular which is 80proof. maybe the 80proof doesn't taste AS horrid but i actually couldnt finish that bottle and had to give it away to a guy who actually drank it and claimed to like it.

best cheap stuff i've ever had was black velvet, which to me seemed at least on par with JD black label.

I suggest you keep it up and just don't go on it for a while. That seems to be the time when girls actually send me messages rather than me having to send them out. I picked it up from a girl at work saying that she browses through profiles looking for people who haven't been online in a couple of weeks or so.. kinda weird but I guess it makes sense?

That Obama inauguration made me realized this world is completely insane, watching the whole thing was so surreal, is this really happening?

So ridiculous, so unnecessary, and millions of people went out in the cold and stood there for hours and hours for this, bunch of fucking idiots.

(And i know there has been some outrageous presidential inauguration but this is the first one i payed attention to/lived it)

Actual first world problem that is not even remotely a legitimate problem in the global sense of "problems":

I bought a really beautiful new 27" iMac with a 680mx graphics card and an i7 processor so that I could do some fancy photowork and make computer musics again, and it's the nicest looking screen I've ever seen with no dead pixels and pretty even backlighting and great resolution, but whites are slightly warmer on the bottom half of the screen than the top half of the screen, and it's barely noticeable, and then only with full-white screens when viewed from certain angles, and it won't interfere with photo editing, and I might be able to reduce it with some calibration, and it's definitely not worth replacing an otherwise flawless machine over because other people are having much worse problems with these apparently complex machines, but I will always know it's there.

Meanwhile I'm squinting to read from a shitty dell monitor at work and it feels like someone sanded my corneas in comparison.

Electronic music isn't fast enough anymore. Whenever I go out to a friend's gig with the aim of dancing, it's always footwork stuff with halftime claps and an emphasis on 'chill'. I don't go out to chill, I go out to lose my shit on the dancefloor!

"i'll just poop later" - famous last words

i wonder if pooping will ever become a thing of the past

My recent ex. Bah.

Fwp: I have to choose between the shit part time job I have or a less shit temporary full time job I can get.

I plugged the wrong a/c adapter into a hard drive enclosure I was planning to use and the most frightening tiny-ass explosion occurred.

I've always feared that this would happen to me and out of all the mismatched a/c adapters I've used I was begining to think they were all interchangeable.

I plugged in a mini muff one time and it started smoking so I turned it off. It still works though incredibly.

A local music store once rented me an external sound card with the wrong adapter. It exploded (internally) with a loud pop and smelled fantastic afterwards. Somehow I managed to get them to pay me $10 in addition to giving me the right adapter and striking the rental fee.

Not quite an adaptor story, but I was once sampling the bible on cassette, and at a part about hellfire, the batteries exploded acid all over the back of the player's case. It was pretty awesome... I thought Satan himself was getting down with my samples. Turns out I had just mixed a rechargeable battery with a standard AA.

exploding electronic fwps ftw.

Winner

My work is inconsistent, which makes budgeting a real pain in the ass, especially as I'm looking for a place to live.

Also, not knowing whether or not I'll get into grad school makes looking for real work another pain in the ass.

If I hear someone randomly complaining about hipsters again I'm gonna throw a mason jar at them.

fuckin goths

Just got back from eating breakfast, and it is 2:15AM. Now what?

Favorite FWP so far. Almost spit coffee all over my keyboard.

I think you will get into grad school.

I'm going straight from undergrad into my CMA designation and then grad program. So basically I'm screwed until I'm 28 years old. le sigh... Good luck! =)

My Fwp... someone tried to break into my garage. Now I'm getting a security system put in. But theres dents in my door from where they tried to pry it open!

anyway, i was wondering if these dates (that you go on) involve going out anywhere? to a restaurant or maybe other things? because all the profiles said stuff about just liking to stay in, watch films, read, and maybe a bit of exercise and good conversation (edit: all at home).

Well, I mostly get matched with girls who like to go out, rather than staying in--at least they're the only ones I bother messaging. So yes, these dates do involve going out for a drink somewhere, or perhaps seeing a band or something. Which may be part of the problem; I have a hard time suggesting something exciting to do on a first date so just end up falling back on the quiet drink/nibble/gig idea.
