Your pointless thoughts & observations

Fuck 2017, it was horrible.

And let me be the first to say fuck 2018 too. It's also going to be shit.

there’s DJ Stingray in Tresor tonight which would be fun if it weren’t New Years

Whoa, there was a chance for me to go to Berlin three days ago and stay for NYE but I decided it's not worth it. But DJ Stingray is definitely worth it. I don't dare to imagine what Tresor is like on NYE, though. Probably wont be able to get in anyway, and if I did, it would be like sardines in a can.

 

Now that's a pointless thought.

man you’re not missing out. he’s playing relatively frequently, like every other month or so & it would be a mistake to go tonight... better come here in spring/summer.,

Only absolute cunts do anything on New Years Eve. It's the one night in the year you should stay indoors.

innit, the 1 night of the year fun always feels forced, everywhere is a rip off, so better to keep it @ home with a small clan of mates & chill

no stress with taxis, keep the numbers down to 10-12 so every1 brings an assorted range of munchies, good company & good food is enough

the only rule is everyone gets to play one tune @ a time to rotate back2back tune selections, plus the reality that we cant be in work on tues & weds obliterated on behemoth comedowns these days, shudder @ the very thought of it

for those that do indulge, stay safe

I exaggerate, it's what I do.

 

BUT, it is the one night a year that a LOT of people not used to going out socially or drinking to excess go out socially and drink to excess.

 

I dunno about other places but in London it can be a fucking shitshow.

ah right, makes sense. In my town we all just gather in the park and drink til 6am

yeah I've always disliked it, just an epic load of nonsense 

always go out and have a few beers early in the day and have a mooch in my local as its my birthday but I'm home by early evening and just chill with a few Trappist ales at home, I like starting the new year with a fairly bright state of mind

even back in the day when I'd be out every weekend with a few pills and a couple of grams I'd just hibernate and stay fairly sober on new years eve

nye is amateur night. not that there isn't fun to be had somewhere but in many cities it's a vastly overhyped overpriced shit show. 

Tea tastes like shit. Why am I drinking this?

Maybe it's really good shit?

new years eve is about reflection for me, so i'll be  taking it easy as well.

I prefer wandering around on warmer days anyway. Thanks for the tip. He does play often though. I remember back in the old days, DJ Stingray was a hard man to find :)

Yup. Horrible is a bit of a stretch for me but it was subpar for sure.

 

one of the worst years of my life.

Recreation is very close to re-creation. What is recreation recreating?

straight up. I usually try to find a show to go to, or, failing that, hide out in one of my favorite watering holes that never draws a huge crowd. Got invited to a house party this year too and was just like... nahhh

i enjoy remembering conversations the next day

It’s not just world events that made 2017 bad. It was really like one 365 day long kick to the balls. Even if good things were happening there had to be a few horrible things that canceled them out.

That’s the thing. Even if I earn something great, it’s like I have to pay for it with years of crippling depression. Forget breaking even.

On that note, happy new year!

true. for every thing to be happy/excited about there were at least 3 bad things to shit on them.  just in the USA alone even.. world wide.. well.. there is a constant shitting on the good things. 

sometimes i think if i just focused on local stuff i'd be better off but there's no way for me to avoid the other 49 states and federal olitics and general 24 hour news cycle w/o just throwing the internet in the garbage and working on music and taking up a new hobby like vaping. 

Racism is so primitive to me. It surprises me to see people that you'd think would have half a functioning brain to stray away from the preliterate idea that such frivolous things as skin, hair and eye colour would make them undisputedly superior than someone of different physical features.

Helen of Troy had a moustache.

I wish Leonard Cohen had never written Hallelujah, so that it would then never have been covered by Jeff Buckley and turned into a staple for every off-key talentless busker in the fucking world. it might be my most hated song ever, or at least up there.

I’ve been catching mice in my apartment with sticky traps. I found one that was squirming and squeaking but I was too lazy to do anything about it so I just threw the dead mouse in the trash outside the next day. The other one was already dead when I noticed it.

About a year ago I caught one and actually tried to free it outside by prying it off with a plastic spoon while wearing rubber gloves. I ended up smashing its face into the sticky pad and breaking three of its legs because of how sticky it is. I used these traps intending to be a chill nice dude but I ended up getting medieval by accident.

sticky traps are cruel :( you should just get the classic trap that ends their life quickly
