bought a ton of booze last night of amazon prime. the guy that brought it made a mistake with the delivery and put he couldn't find the location; meaning he marked it as undelivered. got a refund today of the full $200 and still got to keep the liquor.

i'm on the come up

'grats on the sex

oh right, achievement post.

Superpang guy bought the last release on my label, so I guess you could say I'm a pretty big deal

Thank you. Thank you. 

I finally tested negative for COVID this morning. Ironic though that I didn't get a confirmed infection until three years after the first big lockdown in early 2020.


And congrats Squee on your soon-to-be parenthood.

I learned how to do porridge... I did it right at the first try... I proud of me...

@luke viia burgers are the pinnacle of positive reactions for me! I wasn’t aware there was room for interpretation but if so I’m very sorry for any confusion. 
Congrats 

Hah! Yes, I was confused at first as well. I thought this dude needs a slap, then I realised, no its a big hug

No, he said in his video that there was a possible major catastrophe in history that reset civilization and I reacted with, very possibly multiple catastrophes. *big brain*

Took my saxophone in for servicing. Expected to have to leave it for a week because they’re busy. Was contacted within half an hour that it could be picked up.

- Other things seem to be falling into place. It's as if that job was dragging my whole life down and I couldn't see it because I always thought it was a "chill job". And now that the weight has been lifted, new and exciting things keep happening

it's all connected man. I too went through a job change last year, and know exactly what you're talking about. I didn't want to accept the fact that I was stuck in a bad job with a bad boss, because the alternative of being unemployed is always far scarier. and I didn't realize at the time just how much of that negativity from the bad job was bleeding into my personal life. we try and tell ourselves we can separate our work selves from our personal life, but we all know that's not how it works. that work bullshit keeps lingering on in our heads after we clock out, and it affects us. yeah after I changed jobs, I noticed other positive life things started to occur... I'm just trying to keep riding that wave as long as possible. try and tell myself that I worked so many shit jobs in the past, it's finally time that good ones start appearing. and there's a lot to be said about the power of positive thinking, trying to get as much clarity and reality in your headspace as possible. once you can find that then sooner or later, you'll find yourself on a much better life path.

gonna have almost 3 months vacations in August and come back in November to do a world tour... starting in Miami, going down the Atlantic coast with overnight in Brazil, then further south with over night in Argentina, turning back up north in Antarctica in direction to Los Angeles, from there to Hawaii with an over night as well, then to New Zealand, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapur, Índia, etc...

psyched

lucky guy…

what’s your job if you don’t mind me asking?

I do mind u asking...

found some underwear at the back of the drawer that are basically new. 

also, had my yearly CT Scan last week and all good news. the 2cm mass in my right kidney has not grown at all. just sitting there like a dumb bastard making me wait. and nothing else new or weird in the scan. so, that's good. not so much an achievement as good luck. i guess i'll have to live a little longer into the coming dystopia. 

been planning a ferry trip to the Isle of Man for some time now and i've managed to dig out my dad's old Panasonic walkman

i'm planning to do a bunch of different things when i get there, but for some reason the actual ~4hr ferry trip is what i'm looking forward to the most. i haven't used this thing for years but it works just fine. i have cassette issues of recent WARP/Ninja Tune albums (some of which are still sealed!) and all i can say is, why let them collect dust for years instead of actually using them? might be risky but YOLO. maybe not take SAW2.

been trying to buy walkman's from friends and such, it's unbelievable how everybody threw them away... and don't even get me started on ebay prices...

i know! it's such a shame. all these new cassette/vinyl releases yet no-one's manufacturing decent equipment to play it back. looks like it's just the same with turntables/tape decks as it is with portable walkmans.

i hope you can find one bro. stick at it

This! I was in the same situation and the amount of shit I brought home was killing my girlfriend. She thought I hated her when in reality I just hated my job.

hey I bet you threw one away there mister... I threw many away. we all threw them away! why? CD's of course! we all took that glorious leap from analog to digital. then we took the leap from physical to mp3. now we're going back from mp3 to analogue. cycles man...it's all about cycles...
