OT: Thread About Nothing (part # who cares)

[njdevils1982]

Don't beat yourself up. We all have accidents. I once slipped down some stairs while holding my middle son when he was a few months old. Fortunately he was on top of me so he was fine. My wife ran over to pick him up while screaming and left me in a bloody heap and ran off with him. Fortunately my parents sold that house.

oh man. im not beating myself up at all

i laugh at shit like this and myself.

They were okay

But they seem to be worshipped by a sect of people (mostly in our age demographic) like they're the 90s Beatles.

Today I shot 30 arrows from a 40# bow pain free. Not quite where I want to be just yet, still lots of PT, exercises and strength building to do but my shoulder is almost feeling normal again. Maybe 80/85% for archery. For day to day life it's totally good.

This new therapist I found is awesome. His exuberance is contagious...

Young guy, interested in going beyond just feeling better and healing...he's all about gaining back the performance and increasing strength. He asks a lot of me but it's totally worth it.

He makes me hang from a pull up bar a lot.... I used to like to hang out at a bar a lot, now I just hang from the bar.

Well when that no good loser proves he's not worthy you will be there to pick up the pieces.

I put myself in a bad spot with that mindset back when I graduated college. Apologies as I never quite found a succinct way of telling this story.

Towards the end of my freshman year of college, I got dumped by my girlfriend via email. Being a dumb teenager, I didn't handle that particularly well. My grades went in the tank. Sophomore year didn't start off great, my roommates were lazy and I in turn also got complacent. Eventually I had to admit that I wasn't giving full effort and abruptly moved out. New roommates were nerds and suddenly my grades were back on track.

There was a cute gal in my class who lived in the same area of campus but I never had the nerve to talk to her. One day it rained unexpectedly. I left in the middle of class to buy an umbrella so I could offer to walk her back. We had a friendly chat and I thought I managed to give off a good first impression for once. A few days later, I asked if she wanted to study for the midterm together and she gave me a dirty look and declined. My friends were watching from afar and were like "WTF did you say to her?"

I used that as motivation to study hard for that exam. The mean was in the low 40s and the professor admonished the class. Being petty I made a point to walk by her and loudly tell my friends that I got 100%. I didn't I'd ever talk to her again.

But start of junior year, she befriended me again and we'd start hanging out. Unfortunately I'd learn that she was still with her high school boyfriend, but that seemingly wasn't looking promising. Maybe a month before graduation, she asked if I wanted to grab breakfast and then she told me that she had landed a job and would be staying in town (job market wasn't great, the other gal I was interested in wasn't able to find a local job and moved to Texas).

My brain got in the mindset that it was only a matter of time before she dumped the other guy (that happened a few months later) and that I'd be next man up. Sadly I didn't realize that I had basically been friend zoned the previous two years. She'd end up dating/marrying her new boss.

A few years later I ran into almost a carbon copy situation with another gal who bore some resemblance. But I decided that I had done that Choose Your Own Adventure before and figured I knew the outcome, so I never viewed this one romantically even though all of our friends thought something was brewing.

In my experience relationships are like jobs. The best time to find a new one is while you are in a current one. Albeit that was my college and law school experience 100 years ago. Ultimately I think most of us land with who we are somehow meant to be with. I do think it’s hard to connect in today’s world and I feel bad for young people about that.

Thank you!!!

 

[My3Sons]

Thank you!!!

I know the archery and fishing keep you mostly sane. Losing one of them would be really tough and getting back your archery is huge. You’ve worked hard to get to this point so with luck you will progress to where you won’t have to think about your shoulder. I’m rooting for you.

I don’t know why this sort of flew under the radar for me but they released a Super Deluxe Revolver in 2022. Really enjoying revisiting these songs. My top ones are And Your Bird Can Sing and Doctor Robert. Lennon was on top of his game in the intermediate period.

Fishing was slow this week, but the weather was pretty great. There is something incredibly peaceful about fishing from a kayak.

Sgt Pepper and the White Album get all the accolades but Revolver is fantastic as well

Question.

Booked a flight on Norse airlines Milan to Kennedy. Long story short, I gave a scam artist my flight info, so I do not want to add my passport information.

Do I have to add it preflight? Or can I just show up at the airport with the passport and be good to go?

Norse is cheap, but the downside is they have near zero by way of customer service, so getting information from them is not easy.

Call the airport. Sometimes you can get to the actual desk that way .

I haven't cut my hair in almost 4 months, which is very long for me.

I'm starting to like it. I don't want it covering my ears, but I'm fine with it covering my forehead.

It makes me look a lot younger, because the lines on my forehead (which are deeper than some 60 year old people) are all covered up, and that's the only spot I really show any age.

It also makes me hair look way thicker. It's starting to look thinner/get a little thinner, which is only noticeable when my hair is really short. It's went up the side a little on the right side, and there's a spot in the center of my head where the hair is thin/see through looking. Any vertical hairstyle seems to expose it.

But that's all covered up, and my hair is a lot thicker than I thought it still was. I see a ton more gray though, which is easier to cover up than forehead lines.

It's also quite uncomfortable, particularly this time of the year. Most of my sweat pores are on my forehead.

But I definitely look like I'm ready for the reunion tour for my 2000s era post-hardcore, emo, indie, whatever band.

I don't actually have a band or reunion tour, it was just a joke.
