Life and stuff | From one Demon to another

By giririsss Go To PostUniversity life is great except for these 3 week stretches.

I'm on casual teaching semester-to-semester, but it's increasingly


The marking ain't so bad. It's just a matter of discipline. The week-to-week survival in the face of student apathy is haaaaaaaard.

Which uni?

A lot of the time apparent apathy is also total confusion. So much of the time It takes till the last 2 or 3 lectures for a subject to make sense.

But for me. Personally, it's all been about getting really sick at a really bad time. Still paying the price now.

UQ.

I would have been lost if I'd caught flu or something. Next semester is going to be gnarly, too. Lots of evening lectures. Lots of early starts.

Yea, I'm trying to make it work. I'm saving up for a car too because I absolutely need it to go to school since I can't possibly afford rent. I hope I get these stamps tho. Or at least go to the food bank.

work is just soul crushing atm--it's not even the job, but just the bitter realization of how much of my time is being wasted day in and day out

i'm just doing admin shit at the moment in the government/medical sector, and financially i'm good while working on my comp sci degree, but fuck, I can't imagine any amount of pay being worth me working 40 hours a week on somebody else's dream--no matter how fun it is

software development pays awesome in the dc area and jobs are bountiful--I think my plan right now is going to be to land something in software engineering for a few years and save up a significant portion of that salary to give me two years to live modestly while doing nothing but grind away at my my passions. if I can't get something out with that kind of freedom, so be it, back to the 9-5 and the inevitable alcoholism

i know what a shit grind looks like and i'll be damned if i spend my life doing it. even if shit has to suck, it won't suck normally.

You need to learn to that you work to live, you don't live to work.

Enjoy the people and place, but don't let it get to you outside of work.

FWIW, i've found most students who are working part time (or more) really hate their office jobs. But life becomes much easier once you graduate.

Blerg, I know this Utah politician that we're trying to get to support Citizens Climate Lobby so I'm the one that's going to talk to her about this, but she's such a Very Serious Person that it's going to be irritating.

Packing my shit and my roommates just got into one more emotional whirlpool for the road lol. god bless this headphone fetish of mine

I hate that part of any job

Where ya movin dy?

Today in my life, a girl messaged me first on tinder and then offered me her number. Pretty neat I guess.

Nobody else in my group has offered to go to the Goldman Sachs event :(. I'm definitely going, but I hope I don't have to fly this one solo.

right down the street lol gonna move again in 2-3 months to my own spot

and don't do it baldy, its a trap

By DY_nasty Go To Postright down the street lol gonna move again in 2-3 months to my own spot

Oh nice that'll be good for ya.

I sure hope it's not a trap. She's cute as hell and seems super chill. Although there is this chick who I've seen and talked to the last two times I've been to this bar. She seemed into me last time but less so tonight. So I didn't get her number. Nbd I'm sure I'll see her next week and we'll see what's up. She's bad af

I'm trying to regain health and fitness after a couple years of letting myself slip. So, since the beginning of the year, I've been on a pretty strict diet where I keep my carb intake below 10% of my total intake, or at least there abouts. I've also been working out virtually every day to improve my endurance and strength. Lots of lifting weights and the like.

Anyway.

I have no idea why but yesterday felt like the worst day of my life. So what do I do? I go to the shop and buy a massive loaf of bread to make myself a sandwich. Like, a whole-loaf-of-bread-sized sandwich. Also some zeppole which are basically donuts. Two packs. The sandwich was kind of bad and the donuts didn't last long. Disappointing meal.

And worse part? I'm having a massive carb hangover. My stomach is in knots having not had to deal with so many carbs in one go for ages. Digestive system is a mess. I didn't sleep soundly at all.

It was not fucking worth it. Moral of the story: just don't, bad days will become worse if you give in.

I feel like every dude should be shooting jumpers at least once a week and just talk to themselves. Like, aint no better therapy breh.

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostI feel like every dude should be shooting jumpers at least once a week and just talk to themselves. Like, aint no better therapy breh.

the problem is it's hard to find a gym where you can just shoot jumpers by yourself if you're working normal hours. When you get up there at 6 or or so the courts are full. When I took days off and went at like 2p or something...ain't nothing better tbh.

Looking at other artists' portfolios depresses me so much. When I practice my work, I'm like what the fuck is the point? Fucking garbage.

My day job is already stressful and soul crushing. When I get home at try to work on what I want to be doing for a living it depresses me even more.

Fuck.

Maybe I should just get a com sci degree and do IT for the rest of my life. Would satisfy my family I guess.

stick with it man. or at least find a happy medium in pursuing that and something to get the bills paid in the meantime.

yeah its been a much needed breath of fresh air for me. don't know how i was living without it tbh

So there is this woman I met in October. She's a journalist. Ridiculously beautiful. We've ran into each other once or twice around Hollywood. It's always awkward though. Like we don't know how to talk to each other.

Last night she was using periscope at a party and I was watching. My phone lost connection. So I signed back on on my ipad. When she saw my screen name she drunkenly said "Oh I know ______________. He's fucking cute and charming." Then she got embarrassed and left the feed for a few minutes.

Her friend started asking shit like "You're the guy we met at the movie marathon" and BS like that. Then she said "yeah you should stay away from my friend. She's has MS and she doesn't need a heartbreaker in her life. I know who you are (my full name here). You and I have mutual friends. STAY THE FUCK AWAY."

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. What the fuck was that shit?

Real suggestion.

Do a weekly comic.

It can be on any topic you want. But I know a lot of graphic artists do this. It works for many reasons.
-Makes you draw a bunch of different scenarios.
-Forces you to do it regularly so you release regularly. Which means you're practicing the whole time.
-It also then means you've got a body of work to go back and look at how far you've progressed.

Also gives you a long term goal. Finish a chapter, etc.

I'm not saying do it for a living, that's relatively fucking impossible. But eh.

headed to my 10 year hs reunion brehsssss

don't know what to expect

I wouldn't know. Everyone i want to know from back then i still know now. Everyone i don't... i couldn't care about.

By giririsss Go To PostI wouldn't know. Everyone i want to know from back then i still know now. Everyone i don't… i couldn't care about.

yeah....we'll see...i bought a ticket just in case and they do have unlimited appetizers. so at the very least i will sit by myself in the cigar lounge and work on them lol

Ahh, well, maybe if ours was held somewhere other than a school hall lol.

Trying to figure life out. What's the cutoff point for applying to jobs after graduation? Does going two years without relevant employment to a position or field make one unhireable moving forward? I need at least four more semesters of financial aid before I can make a move. I'm about to start one now. Two will be in September after which I will take a break, come back in spring, and push the plan forward.

Being black makes my move so much more difficult because culture plays a huge role in making a place comfortable.

DY you were wrong. On the way to her apartment tonight, I thought this chick from Tinder might be a narc or something, because of what you said lmao. you never know. so i left my weed in my car just in case. luckily she wasn't, so we smoked a bowl and watched the first two episodes of Once Upon a Time on netflix. It's pretty good. she's a phenomenal kisser, omg. But yeah she's legit. lol.

baldy, I don't have a problem with it, but you kind of seem to smoke a ton of weed.

you should see the inside of any call center

Maannnnnmnnm

moved into my new spot for the next month or so. i forgot what peace was

i didn't say she was a narc. i said that's she a trap - ie way too fucking good to be true and probably got some massive baggage to drop on the first person that lets them in the BEST case scenario. besides, a narc would want nothing to do with someone who fits your profile.

By Apollo Go To PostHOLY FUCKING SHIT. What the fuck was that shit?

Mutual friends must have told her some heavy things.

Or she's just on protectiveness overdrive and assuming the worst.

That's how my last chick was lmao. That was bad. At least I know to bail way earlier this time if that's the case.

What do you mean about the whole profile thing though?

Oh yeah...went to the gym yesterday with friend and another dude he knew. Played about 2 hours of nothing but 21. This is the most I've played since I fucked up my foot back in Dec. It was sore while we were playing but I got over that pretty quick. It's sore today but not too bad. I think that was a big mental jump for me. May take this and use it to get back in shape and actively work out again.

I have a rep among my friends as being super slutty. I need to find out who this mutual friend is.

I wanted to thank you for the suggestion. I'm definitely considering doing something like this, Maybe not a comic,but start and finish something every week. I can't count the amount of times I spend hours and something then delete it because I hate it. Hopefully this helps. It can't hurt.

Thanks dy as well.

Nice man. Run with that. But dont overwork yourself.

Had to take my 13 yr old German Shepard to emergency vet. I guess he had a seizure earlier. Mom called me over. He could barely move or get up but when I walked in he just wagged his tail and was trying his hardest.

Had to carry him to my mom's SUV and rode with him in the back to the emergency vet. Thinking the whole time this is it and he would have to be put down :(.

Got there and everything checked out as ok. Wasn't a stroke and they said most likely a seizure. Kept saying he's an old dog and I wanted to tell him to stfu we know that .

Moms going to have to monitor him during the night. She loves him to death. When she goes put of town he literally won't eat until she gets home. And he'll lay by the front window. She was so nervous going to the vet.

Man this month has been such an extreme range of emotions .

I hate 21. It's either jack up contested jumpshots that Jr Smith wouldn't even claim, or drive to the rim and get your ass whipped.

3s or full for me.

wtf else would it be? you play 21 when you got 3-5 people. more than that and you're playing 3s or full like you said. but the point of 21 is to ball hard. however, if you are playing against 2 dudes who know each other (such as my friend and I) you ain't doin shit with the ball

also if you can't eurostep through a couple guys half heartedly trying to swipe at the ball...idk. it works on everyone, even the try hards actually

Games better than 21 with less than 6 people: kings court, horse, 2v2, Fifty, a shootout.

I don't understand conservative documentary ads that go: "Protecting the environment has become a religion! God and Ronald Reagan wanted us to exploit this land! Protecting the environment takes away jobs! Use your bootstraps! And please donate to our Patreon/GoFundMe so we can finish this project."

Like... There's a bit of a tonal issue right there when you from talking about self-reliance and then you start begging for money... And it's weird to going from bashing something as a "religion" when you are obviously religious...?

(They played the ad for this documentary at the state senate meeting today and it was way more embarrassing than my post indicates. It was a fucking weird thing).

By Trey Go To PostGames better than 21 with less than 6 people: kings court, horse, 2v2, Fifty, a shootout.

5 people is the most a game of 21 should ever have.

any more than that and you may as well be playing rubgy

I lose a bit of my soul every time I go to work.

By psychintellect Go To PostI lose a bit of my soul every time I go to work.

Im right there with you. Got that resume almost completed with a fancy new title and a bunch of new responsibilities.

had sex with tinder date twice on wednesday. she's in north carolina now on vacation and just texted me "misssss youu". we've been texting pretty much since she gave me her number from tinder (about a week ago) but why is she saying she misses me. do fuck buddies say that stuff to each other? because that's basically all we are right now. the only other fuck buddy I've had would say stuff like "miss your dick" and I mean we were great friends but damn.

it's cool though, she's pretty hot lol.

Did you actually point out to her that all you're looking for is a moist hole, or are you assuming she knows that?

no but we get along terrifically (what a weird word), so I figured I'd see how it goes. I probably should somehow mention that when she gets back. good point.
