I bet it's not as bad as those insufferable church youth groups I've been dragged to a few times. They had instruments there, free for everyone to play whenever, so I was crankin' out some blastbeats on the drums. I was told to stop, as apparently blastbeats are the devil's work.

Surely you remember the Eleventh Commandment, "Thou shalt not perform blastbeats"?

I mean, c'mon.

Clearly Jews suck at making lists, as there were a shitload of other commandments of God, including that graves made from non-believer burials should be destroyed.

Okay look:

1) Jews are awesome at making lists
2) There's a very good reason why
3) ...
4) they just are.

.....or you probably just suck.

My favorite thing about making a Domino's delivery order is the part where the tracker bar comes up and underneath it there's an option to send a "message of encouragement" to the workers. The options are all totally generic complimentary crap, but i like that i can send them "You are my pizza heroes" every time i order hot wings.

I think i'm going to tell the driver that he is my pizza hero when he gets to my door.

 

[Thralldom]

I do that shit all the time!

Did you work in the psych ward or were you one of the psychos?

My family caught me masterbating to pictures of horses and toddlers in the back of church screaming "I'm coming jesus!" and thought I should get help.

or

I took 4 bottles of anti-depressants/anxiety meds with southern comfort and since I hallucinated for 4 days in the regular part of the hospital they wanted me to spend a week in the psych ward part to make sure it was over.

 

[The Emptier]

Why.

 

[Tonka Time]

Because it fealt really good.

or

I had been struggling with major depression for quite a while and got bored with living at college. It was kind of a "Life is boring as hell right now. If I take all these something will happen. I might die. I might not." It turned out to be a great choice because almost dying/fucking my brain up was an interesting experience, put a lot of shit into perspective, and at least for now my depression got the message to fuck off.

Get more exercise

 

[Tonka Time]

I got plenty of exercise back then. I was in the best physical shape I've ever been in but the worst mental shape. Now it has kind of flipped as I havn't been doing much exercise other than walking a few miles every once and a while, but mentally/emotionally I feel great.

 

[Vimana]

I haven't had any mind-altering substances in a long time. I suppose I'll change that later on.

 

[Cronopio]

What makes me sad is that when I bend over, I can feel my beergut trying to break free and jump over the wall that is my belt. I do my best to ignore it.

 

[Tonka Time]

I remember my dad told me that while I was in the hospital I broke free of a restraint and told him that he fights like a bitch.
I evidently called a nurse a cunt (don't remember that at all) and told some SDA woman that the only reason she believes in jesus is because shes afraid to go to hell. I don't remember talking to her, but I remember seeing a woman covered in crosses and she kept trying to put them on me (this was obviously a hallucination).
At one point I remember coming to this huge realization about something important and I made my dad write it down. When I looked through the notes after getting out of the hospital all that I made him "write" was a line across the paper...

Sounds like me on a bender.

So I recently started working as a Dock employee on a carry deck loading and unloading trucks, doing the dirty work. After weighing my options in the industry I decided I am going to become a Crane Operator. I talked to a contractor at a refinery and he offered a position as an apprentice ( union apprenticeships ) as long as I complete the NCCCO ( National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators) and the process of training programs. Union apprenticeships take 3 years to complete but I am extremely excited!
As for now I will be gaining on-the-job training by starting out in an entry-level job and then becoming a machine operator's assistant.

Fuck! I didn't expect this....Maine ain't bad man.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Unloading stuff from trucks all day sounds like hard work. Do you get paid much more than you work working in catering or retail?

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

14 an hour. It's only hard work if you don't pace yourself. You're outside, getting exercise and if you're lucky around good people. It's blue collar with an opportunity to work your way up as long as you're willing to work hard and be smart.

 

[The Ozzman]

14 an hour.

I get less than that at my current desk job and I have a college degree. Fuck this shit!
