OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

[Bleedred]

shit damn man ... people are f***ed. but you already know that.

I think I was just out of high school when that came out.

Before Fat Mike was even fat (though he already had the moniker) and before he was a big cokehead.

I know I saw them the first time even before that.

I really went all teenage, self righteous punk on them in 94, because of that movie with Charlie Sheen and whoever the blonde was. Wasn’t she movie version Buffy the vampire slayer?

I haven’t seen the movie in years, but I think it was about Charlie Sheen kidnapping the daughter of some billionaire for ransom and they’re trying to cross the border and she winds up falling for him anyway.

Henry Rollins played the main cop who was chasing them, which was hilarious.

NOFX’s please play this song on the radio was used in the credits (I think the soundtrack had a bunch of stuff like Rollins Band and all that) and I was like “Damn! First Bad Religion on a major label, the Offspring are on the radio and now NOFX in the end credits of a movie with Charlie Sheen? What the f*** man?”.

It was probably a dumb movie from what I remember, but it was worth it just for officer Henry Rollins.

I know it wasn’t the only time Rollins played a cop.

Is he a bank? Or tax police?
I believe he is too old with his "parent" things.
I understand that it doesn't help when te figure of the father is negative in your eyes.
I believe that you should understand and forgive him. It doesn't mean you should be friend with him and chat with him. I believe he is a man of bad habits because he had bad childhood, I don't know what kind of people his parents were and what they did with him, or some childhood friends. I believe he had his own trauma experience. Please don't tell him that you chat with Russian ortodox jew(yeah) sometimes.

Its hard to separate mindset from people like this. Because they can insurance in different way - you should act and build your thinking with any effect of other person.

You need to understand yourself well, recognize where your thoughts and approaches are, and what is the result of influence, you should be honest with yourself, strict, but understanding and not punishing, you need to draw conclusions and understand how you can track your own thoughts and reactions and understand where to direct them. I understand that such work is difficult to do on your own, you probably need the help of a therapist. You need to find someone who will help sort it out, and not put on a needle of approval, support and the words "how good you are, how bad they all are."

We often write here about good things, but sometimes about bad one. I try to support people, not to swear too much at the team, and approach life optimistically.
It was my turn to tell a sad story.
I've been less active for the last three months because I'm finally working on a big animation project(it started in August) but beyond that, I finally felt what a depressive state is. My friends lived in a private house and they had a stove. Apparently, technologies were violated during construction and a fire occurred. As a result, only our friend was left alive, having lost her husband and animals. We communicate and meet with her a lot now and support her. Although it's not easy, I try to find words, approaches, and bring my experience with the loss of my father. But all this, of course, does not help enough and cannot help. Because it's the strongest than any words.

Dear friends, please check the state of fire protection in your homes, and if there is none, please spend money on it and on fire safety equipment.

i replaced 2 fire alarms and carbon monoxide in 2017 .....hardwired to electric with a 10 year battery that sounds when needing to be replaced.

Definitely appreciate your words and glad you didn’t delete!

I’m fortunate to have a couple of really good friends locally here. Basically we just hang out and do whatever. Go to the beach, go on the boat. My best friend who I’ve known since childhood is the one who has the boat and has a dock right in his backyard. I have a pool that I spend a decent amount of time in, though not much this time of year. My best friend and his family have been really good to me and they do things like take care of my dog when I run out of town for the day (like to see a hockey game) and for a weekend when I went to North Carolina for the weekend for a family gathering last month. Recent I’ve been binging with the Sopranos and the Walking Dead with my other friend. Non-white, gay guy who I shouldn’t have in my hetero, aryan home. He’s never seen them before.

And i have a dog who makes me pretty happy, despite her not liking any of my company haha. I’m just blaming that on a chihuahua thing.

I just had a ton to get off my chest last night. I’m still trying to process how stupid the whole thing was.

The last big falling out we had I was so upset that he may think I’m a panhandler or something. Now I don’t care. As I said in one of my last messages to him. I don’t work, I’m a virgin and I shoplift all of my food and dog food for the week.

There is definitely some sort of cognitive dissonance there. How does he think you are able to respond to him and pay for some means of texting/emailing? How does he think you are earring and clothing yourself? Just odd?

Went to Arizona this past weekend for Spring Training. Got home last night and my area had a power outage. Been awhile since I had to eat/drink in the dark. Power came back a little bit before midnight.

I had a 7am call, so I set an alarm on my primary phone and clock radio. Alarm goes off and I see 7:15am. In a panic, I jumped out of bed and turned on work computer. Managed to knock over a glass of water in the process.

Took me a minute to realize that it was my normal alarm on my backup phone which had synced to Arizona time (they don't do daylight savings) and didn't change back for some reason. So it was 6:15am.

I don’t even wanna use titles to say what he is to me, other than I swam out of his ballsack.

I feel this one. I'm estranged from my father too. I'm really not in a hurry to change that, and apparently neither is he.

All I can do is try my best to be a better husband and father than him, and do right by the people who actually want to be in my life. It's better this way, and most days I don't even think about it.

I cringe any time someone asks me about "my Dad" though. I don't have a Dad, I have a father. Big difference.

 

[njdevils1982]

That’s such a great song I think my version would be passable. I love when big groups or solo acts do a version of a classic favorite. That was fun thanks for sharing.

Another great song and they do a great job. I can’t post video links on my phone for some reason but if I was near my computer I could post Mr. Soul by Neil Young and tell everyone it was a version of an old Buffalo Springfield song. And you and maybe a few other posters would understand.

Sorry to hear that, but maybe it’s best to be happy to hear that, if your dad isn’t such a great person?

Unfortunately, one of the old fashioned ideas that gets pushed from generation to generation is to respect your parents and “Honor your parents” and don’t disrespect your parents, blah blah blah.

That’s all good and fine if your parents are decent people who mostly did right by you.

I’ve often times read and heard people say “that’s your mother you’re talking to/about like that!” And those weren’t even things said to me, but just things I’ve heard said to other people. Some people’s parents suck. It’s never been illegal for shitty people to reproduce.

My best friend has a much worse parental situation with me and not just with one parent, but both of them. He says he’s long over it and just doesn’t care much or think about it, but that he’s just sad all his kids don’t have grandparents, between his situation and his wife’s parents no longer living.

I came across this weird video of YouTube where this guy drives around neighborhoods in Paterson NJ

At 6:16 when he crosses Sassafras St. and Our Lady of Lourdes where I went to nursery school and Tracey bit me to about 7:28 when he gets to 5th avenue is where I hung out almost every day when I was in my mid teens. Looks like all the stores and pizza places are gone now ... doesn't look at that different, it was a pretty crazy place for a 14 year old to be hanging out in 1984 and 85 during the crack epidemic. Made you tough though

I bartendered at the Vets when I was 14 too.

 

[JimEIV]

Oh and at 6:15 on the left is an empty lot with a steel frame...it used to be a strip club named Villa Luigi's. It burned down in the late or mid 90's.

Every time I tell someone about Villa Luigi's they crack up at the name and think I'm making it up.

You're probably right but I'll never pay for it. The prices for fast food are already way too expensive, the dollar menu that use to be at all these places is basically gone now, especially at Wendy's. It's just not worth it at the current prices so I can't even imagine spending more on it.

The salads are actually ok in a pinch.

 

[JimEIV]

All the old people who have nothing to do during the day will be hanging out at Wendy's waiting for the price drops.

I can't wait!!!!

Mods, I am sure this is against the rules, but we have a big and loving community on here which is why I wanted to share this here. My good friend has recently gone through some financial difficulties and now her beloved cat is fighting for her life and she cannot pay the veterinary bills for it. Her cat is the world and they need help. Any donation would help immensely. I wouldn’t be sharing it here if she wasn’t desperate. The go fund me is below.

Donate to Please help Scarlett, organized by Rudy Rella

Hello. My name is Rudy and I am creating this on behalf of my friend. Her beloved cat has recently … Rudy Rella needs your support for Please help Scarlett

@NjDevsRR Moving this here because A) it's where it belongs and B) it'll quickly get obliterated off the page in the team thread anyway

This is really amazing and really a great insight into rock history. My wife would kill me but I would love to invest in a George postcard to Pattie.

Yes and thanks for sharing that. I had a long discussion with my boys about the viability of this and how it might play out. I’d love to see them but I’m skeptical more than one ever sees the light of day. While the George one would be fascinating few people would care. The John one would be a portrait of a flawed guy with elements of genius and would be the only one people outside the die hards would pay to see. John was a compelling human partially because of and partially despite his flaws. Both Cynthia and Yoko loved him despite his downside. Paul and Ringo being alive and telling their own story sort of moots the need for their movies. Just my thoughts and I’ll watch whatever they want to release.
