stupid first world problems you're dealing with

my

keyboard

for

my

computer

is

broken

thinking of building a standing desk

The day after my hearing is cleared by the hearing specialist at hospital, the partial deafness in my ear returns, meaning I have to go to my GP, request hospital appointment and do all this shit again to get my ear sorted. If it had happened a day before, I could have gotten it checked out! The timing is so fucking shit...

The only plus is I know for a fact what is happening this time so I can rest easy it's not brain cancer. But still, it sucks. My ear crackles like a dusty vinyl everytime I move my jaw. Not painful but annoying. Ugh.

complete lack of time management skills lel

anyone got any advice? books, articles, personal experience, whatever

Try giving a shit.

fair enough

thats the problem though, in life you gotta do stuff you dont give a shit about. that's when time management comes in handy

people complaining today was too humid

its Britain, in May, when it could be cold n wet, not just raining n a bit warm

twats

it was lush. I went for a 4hr walk with my trousers rolled up and in a tshirt. Just brought a brolly with me.

yeah, been loving the weather the last few days, was too hot before that, still quite warm, but not annoyingly so.

My joints are turning into a pile of shit because aging.

Bunch of young dudebros in the alcohol aisle of the supermarket all buying girly fruity drinks like rekorderlig, ugh.

Then some of them moved closer to where I was browsing the proper beers, assumed some of them had tastebuds beyond a 5 year old's. Turned out they were all coo-ing over a sticky toffee pudding ale, double ugh.

It sounds sickeningly sweet, but in a good way.

same here. my knees feel like they want to come apart and shake lose the tendons and stuff. part of the problem is i need to do all kinds of physical therapy to strengthen them. but who has time for that.. and "gotta work the core". oh the horror.

Oh man, tonight my friend was telling me about "the core" and how vital it is. Anyone who's not a miserable wreck in their middle age has their core to thank. I'm fucked.

FWP: spent hours trying to get my vocals on a new recording sounding right. For whatever reason I couldn't sing any line in one breath when I got up to the mic. If I sung it to myself in the room I could get it in one breath with no effort. So frustrating. These were not difficult vocal parts. Luckily I don't have to pay for my own studio time, so i can suck hard and not have it hurt me financially. Too bad the bank account of my fragile ego is now empty.

Had to take down part of a medical grow-op I'm (legally) involved with before it becomes illegal for us to operate it as it was. Means we make half as much money off of it and are able to supply half the people we were before. There goes my yacht payment... ;)

Recording vocals is the worst. It really is a whole different ballgame when you step up to the mic and know you're going to be played back.

There was a rumor I heard when I was a big Mars Volta fan that their singer got such crazy performances on tape in their earlier records because he was whacked out of his gourde on different euphoriants. Always thought it would fit for how those vocals came across on the recording. Would certainly help to loosen up IMO.

the damn weiner kids are running on the roof again

I think you should just be honest, people like that.

 

"Jesus Christ, what a butt-ugly monster of a baby! He looks goddamn 80! I mean, you ain't a pretty picture as well, but this! Fucking hell! Shitty little freak."

 

 

You'll notice that people will start appreciating you more and more.

IT LOOKS LIKE A MOLTEN E.T.!

 

Hans? Ben jij het?

I always say : "He looks kinda old for his age" .

then rimshot.

2 recent orders from 2 separate record labels have fucked up recently. ordered a t shirt from Big Scary Monsters which hasn't arrived in over a month and Sargent House have messed up an order i made for 4 records (one is the wrong record).

both distributed by Awesome Merchandise so i don't feel good about using them again.

i also have a record pre-ordered from each of them so lets pray those orders don't get fucked up too.

Being unemployed and discovering the show 'the wire'

My room is a dark cave of self-loathing.

Writing simple pop lyrics is way more difficult than writing more evocative/poetic ones, but they always sound as though they were tossed off in 5 minutes. I swear more careful deliberation went into this one than anything else I've ever written. Writing like a 5th grader is fucking hard! But hey, if the goal is to have people singing along after one listen, that's what needs to happen.

I'm probably suffering from depression. But it's not so much a suicidal feeling, as it numbness and apathy.

This is a common problem tho, I'm sure.

you're still in Alaska.
