Watching Germany-Netherlands, 1-0, so it's going great :)
F1 Monza on Sunday, I don't expect much, so recorder running and watch afterwards at quadruple speed.
With automotive industry on it's back and Trump being so great, we had to let go 15 people at work due to decreased sales.
Things could be worse, imagine the Brits would make an entire mess of Brexit.... thanks Boris, you massive idiot. |

It's been a bit of a stressful week. I was in London for a meeting on Monday and ended up meeting Lews for a drink, which turned into many drinks and me getting the last train back to Leeds, which meant I didn't get home until about 3am, steaming drunk. All good fun, but left with me with a stinking hangover for what followed, because the last three days I've been off work having the windows in the house changed for double glazing. They had to smash out all the original sash window frames from about 1904, which was pretty brutal and messy work. The house looked like a bomb had gone off when they were finished. Shame to knock out an original feature of the house, but they were in pretty poor condition: most of them had been painted shut and the cords had snapped so they didn't open. Plus they were cold as and draughty as hell.
So, we're having a pretty chilled out Friday night. Some red wine and mellow techno in front of the fire. It's getting a bit chillier outside now we're in September, and rather than put the heating on I've started making use of the wood burner in our living room. Can't beat getting a crackling fire going and turning down all the lights. |

| That's awsome you met Lews, did you guys talk about your victory against Rann? Def one for the books. |

| Oh, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Lews, going back to 2012 when we first met. We usually have a laugh about whatever is going on at TA at the time, and some light mockery of RANN is par for the course. |

Every Friday I wake up fully rested, bursting of positive energy and optimistic about what the day may bring. I don’t know why I’m rested on Fridays because after a full week of work I should be tired but I guess it’s that feeling of opportunities for the weekend that just get me going.
Today was no different. I woke up with a smile on my face ready to take on this beautiful day and I figured, as I always do on Fridays, let’s go to TA and make a thread about it. I know positive energy is contagious and what would be better than to make one of you feel like I do on Fridays.
I guess time zones isn’t in my favor. I log in on this amazing social media, navigate to the relax and chat about anything section eager to make a Friday thread to spread positivity only then to discover, as I do any other Friday, that somebody else have made a Friday thread.
Why does this happen to me? What have I done to deserve to be put down every Friday only because I live in a less fortunate time zone? Every Friday is the same. The roller coaster is unbearable to the level I’m considering to leave social media for ever.
A few weeks back I though I had my break. I saw a lot of Friday threads but none was made on that day, Friday a few weeks back. This was my opportunity. Finally for once in my 16 year online life all other social media members and admins from more fortunate time zones had either forgot what day it was or just didn’t care, now it is my time.
I made my very first Friday thread ever so proud even managed to use a nice meme reference in the title. The thread was popular. More than 3 pages in just a few hours. Well 3 pages to us regular joes, not 3 pages for a mod with super advanced settings, that is way too much to hope for in any relaxation and small talk section thread these days.
Almost a week went by. My Friday thread was almost on top amongst all the other less popular and old Friday threads with no real content. I was looking forward to maybe get the chance to repeat my success the next day with yet another Friday thread. I couldn’t sleep Thursday. No way could I sleep so I could just as well use the time for something useful browsing the new TA 2.0 human machine interface only to discover two really post traumatic stress syndrome matters. A) TA 2.0 is lagging wtf do I do now??? And B) Juan accidentally forgot to put Friday 225 in his Friday thread title the week before but at some point during the week corrected his thread making mine redundant.....
There was already a Friday thread for that Friday I thought I had the chance to post a Friday thread. My mind was blown and I shat bricks and I didn’t read lol. Never have I been so depressed and devastated, only philosophoraptor could help me now. I figured I delete my Friday thread and all my posts since that day, Friday a few weeks back hoping no one would discover my big mistake. But someone did and now I don’t see how I can continue my online life since 16 years ago. I thought at least I’d make a 27 year long online life to join that cool club.
Anyhow. I wanted to see again this morning whether all hope was still out. I log in to the chat room and the ambient section and for the first time with no hope and optimism only to see yet another Friday thread posted by someone from a more fortunate time zone posting a Friday thread when really I needed to do so myself. It didn’t help that the original poster posted a picture of a blood gushing animated cow in my face just to rub it in my face how much more carbon dioxide you guys over in that time zone produce while laughing in our face when you make Friday threads with absolutely no effort. It’s all so simple for you isn’t it? You don’t know how fortunate you are yet I’m suspecting that you do, you just like to mock the rest of the world from your amurica.
Well no longer. I’m done trying to make Friday threads too late. This is my last Friday thread post in the massage room. You will probably do better off without me. This is my worst Friday ever. Why is everting so difficult. What’s the meaning of life. Why I’m here to begin with and why did just me have to be born on this social media era in a less
Fortunate time zone. Cry me a river to escape in. This is my last threads.
Cher’s and good night. |

Here man.. I'll delete my Friday thread and you can remake yours. I been down that road, for starters booze won't help just make matters worse. Do some research on health insurance in your country because treatment can get expensive and it does work, don't end up like that guy omnisphere in the music forum...he thinks being medicated is bs..go over your symptoms with a therapist immediately, we don't want you to end up suicidal or anything like that. If your feeling that down then go to the nearest hospital and get checked out.
I'm also selling my last 2 synths just like you told me, don't need em.
For starters, you need to eat well and have a good balance of carbs, fats, and proteins. I take alot of supplements, I mean a lot. Hitting rock bottom scared the outta me and I make progress each day and out.
Exercise is also key to relieve stress, well everyone knows that.
For someone like myself to get better is something of a rarity but I heard and seen what is actually possible.
I think you can get mentally healthier then most who walk the same path because you weren't born with it and also its somewhat a mild case of depression.
But listen to this, go untreated, things will only get worse and result in actual real crazyness like bipolar disorder than from there it goes to schizophrenia. |
