stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Got one of those 'things in your Discogs wishlist for sale' emails this morning while on the train to work.

 

Contained an item that is near impossible to get hold of by an artist I'm a bit fanatical about for a very reasonable price.

 

This was 6am, I messaged the seller asking if he could reserve it for me until Friday when I have some money.

 

Finished my 7am to 8pm shift and read the reply message. He would've been happy to hold it for me but somebody bought the item an hour after I sent the message and a few hours before he read it.

 

I am disappoint.

Oh gutted.

 

Was it one of those really really really good ones

Not sure I know what you mean but, to me, yes.

 

There's three of them and they've been my holy grail for the last few years.

 

Even finding downloads of them was a long and drawn out quest.

I my latest attempt at a tune style thing I'm working on my phone and rode to the pub to listen to it but it isn't on my phone . Must have forgot.

 

Idiot

 

 

Tune will show up again, man.

And I've just bumped into someone I didn't want to, who wants to socialize and I just want to listen to tunes and he doesnt get it. Idiot

had to listen to all the fuckup situations i left behind when i moved away from my childhood. lucky im not like them (thank warp)

mime shooting them instead. More satisfying. Then again they might catch you doing it and perceive it as a cue from some mating ritual.

When you don't drink and everyone else in the known world does, you might as well being saying 'go fuck yourself and your mother', what with some of the looks I get when I politely turn down drinks or nights out getting wasted every day of the week. I thought alcohol was optional? When did it become mandatory? I don't mind a vodka and coke but man, fuck off with your endless nights out spending all my cash! I'm fine hanging out being sober and not broke.

 

Plus, the whole thing about 'it tastes better the more you drink it' is pretty stupid. This faulty logic can apply to everything inedible: dogshit, arsenic, copper wiring...if you endlessly force yourself to imbibe something you don't like, of course you'll eventually find it delicious, like some kind of Stockholm Syndrome of the taste buds. 'You'll find it delicious when you grow up' my arse.

 

And don't get me started on Guinness. Is Guinness Irish for 'sawdust'?

 

(am I anti-social enough yet)

There's only three examples in existence?

 

 

I'm really curious to know what this is...

Nah, three volumes.

 

They're the Mark Fell/Evol split cassettes on Alku

@ Spiral, I lurf ur new avatar bby.

 

Audioblysk 1st world problem - I am taking a month off work in march to go stay for two weeks in Vietnam, a friend owns a place out in Halong Bay and all I have to do is grab the ticket, then from there I fly to Mexico to go to Ciudad Del Carmen and make my way up to Jalisco to end up at Yelapa to cap it off in a house a few friends are renting with myself.

 

Only problem here is, I'm not sure how well my work is going to take it, I have to start stacking cheddar to keep my rent and bills payed off + miss a month of work and be traveling and -- I've never been on vacation and I may never come back.

i stayed over at my friends house to look after her cats while she's away on holiday, and now i'm covered in flea bites!

Job hunting fucking sucks... Thought I was getting a decent job doing sales at a car rental attached to the local airport, nailed the interviews etc, then in the background check process they found out I had a reckless driving charge from 2011 and said they had to cancel the offer because it's within the last 36 months. Now back to trudging through job postings, etc.

I have an incredibly fucking problem with concentration. It's not that I can't focus on stuff, I can, and deeply, but there are sooo many stuffs I want to do that I don't know where to start! I already mentioned this earlier in this thread, so I'm sorry if I sound obnoxious, but it' really fucking with my mental health :(

Stuck in Myanmar with only earbuds and/or laptop speakers to use on my first listen to Syro...

Sorry if my posts look like a diary, but there are things I want to say to others, at least indirectly. I shall recall this beautiful phrase: Solitude is fine but you need someone to tell that solitude is fine.

 

I've been experiencing a lot of changes since my 20th birday. I'm not anymore the dude that used to be shy and quiet all the fucking time in middle/high school, now I'm not that shy and quiet all the fucking time at university! Though I'm still pretty introverted. It's me, and I can't change that. And I actually like it, since I hate fame and self-exhibisionism and all the people that do it and all the people who follow them. I've always tried to keep myself in the shadows, not because I'm antisocial or shit like that (in fact I'm much more social now than I ever was), but sometimes I feel I really can't "connect" truly with most of the people, so I stay away (since I also don't want to be an hypocrite). I have a few friends who are totally like me; think like me, and we help each other in many many issues. Sadly, they are not near anymore. Each one is taking their own path, though we still go out and stuff occasionally. So it's only me again. And it's not working like it should. I have been thinking a lot about it and I guess a solution is to sell myself to the world (sell because I know it is a lie), since being me is not actually helping.. Ah, fuck it. I guess it's normal.

 

Life is so beautiful.

It really bugs me how car indicators flash at different frequencies. If there are two cars in front of me and they start indicating out of phase it drives me mad.

The slower flash the better, but not too slow. That's just stupid.

a package that was supposed to arrive this morning has actually just arrived in Grimbergen, Belgium. Thanks gaiuys

I actually love seeing two car turn signals going in and out of phase with each other. Also, when a turn signal is going at basically the same bpm as the song your listening to in that moment

FWP: Bought the wrong textbook and it arrived the first day of the semester. Went on ebay and bought the correct one and the person hasn't shipped it in over a week and isn't responding to any of my messages. Trying to get my money back and pretty pissed/stressed that I still don't have the fucking book for this class.

super high right now and wondering if I crossed the line between steering a friend right and being offensive.

ime supah-stoned thoughts on social interactions are usually really intuitive, but too the point where it's like "okay yeah, but this is on such an abstract level now that I have no idea how to incorporate it into daily life"

 

FWP: i made my web site text based a year ago, & made the background yellow a little while back and thought "hey this is perfect, i'm happy with this look". And then boom two days later it looks like i'm rippin off the phex's web design

 

that man has his fingers in all the techno pies sweartah gawd

 

 

I fuckin' hate mandatory stealth missions in video games - as in, if the bad guys find you, you fail the mission. Fuck that shit.

It's not even fun. You don't even have the chance to fight back. The grounds for failure in game-play should be if you lose a fight with the enemy, not if they merely detect you or activate an alarm. I don't have the patience for this hide-and-seek bullshit anymore.

Sorry, fedora moment.
