I'm having a great Christmas Eve. I smoked two grams of Nirvana sativa. I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm while waiting for the munchies to kick in.

Man I gotta buy mine 10 MG at a time here, 500 goddamn son see you on the moon

I just got home from a very hectic day on the farm. I managed to avoid working as much as possible and took care of our carry out orders so I caught up on Between the Sheets and Center Stage Chronicles. I had a second thought about the gummy but then said screw it so I'll see you guys on the other side. If you're on Discord, you may get a running stream of commentary on whatever wrestling I veg out on tonight.

Hell yeah, brother. Enjoy! I'm eating some of my fried rice and while I don't like to toot my own horn....toot toot. I did the damn thing when I whipped this up. 

 

Merry Christmas everyone.

Well, boys. I'm alive and awake and can confidently quote those immortal words...."That edible wasn't shit!"

Just made my Christmas phone calls and am looking to see if the new Chinese buffet is open. Also getting a nostalgia buzz and watchign somebody open an old Christmas repack of sports card packs.

Christmas is over and I can go back to the station that I usually played on a radio here before they went all-Christmas music for a month

When I was younger, this station was an Oldies station but as time went by, it turned into a "Classic Hits" station which meant it mostly plays 70s/80s music now

one out of market radio station I occasionally listen to through RadioGarden is WFDU (from Fairleigh Dickinson University) which is basically classic hits/oldies. I don't know how much it costs a listener supported non-commercial station to play more oldies than classical music/jazz.

Then again I was looking around the Radio Garden map and found an internet-only station (102 the Cue) that was playing 70s rock and more recent blues rock for people wanting some "here's what Steve Hackett was doing in 1994" and it was a pretty good listen too. On one hand, less commercials and DJ chatter is good, on the other hand, i'm not necessarily putting up the effort to be Spotify-only

Right?  I imagine a 500mg gummy looks like those massive, fist-sized gummy bears from It’s Sugar or the candy aisle at Five Below.

The Continued Chronicles of the Cat-Piss Computer~!~!~!

Yeah, so I went back to B&H and tried to just buy the same motherboard again, because why not, it worked well before the micturation.  BUT, of course, in the span of 2 months, they've discontinued it.   I had to bump from the ASUS B550-Plus to the ASUS TUF Gaming B550 with built-in Wifi.  Not the worst upgrade since the old wifi card was in the cat blast zone and may be damaged. 

Got it all disassembled, cleaned up, put back together, turn it on, works right out of the gate...except for the wifi itself.  Find a driver after a couple of tries, since I'm still running Win10 and ASUS seems to think we've all moved to 11.  Finally get the driver on there, decide to reboot just to make sure there's nothing up with it, and then BAM.

Crash.

Crash.

BSOD.

Crash.

Blue screen.

Attempting automatic repairs.

And then I realize I have a thumb drive in the system from moving the Wifi driver, and wouldn't you know, that thumb drive *also* had my back-up BIOS setting for 2 motherboards ago.  Derp.  Massive, massive derp.

All good now, see you in POE2 after all.

I work in IT and I fucking hate computers.  I have a PS5 if I want to game, and I just bought a Mac.  The cobbler’s children truly do have no shoes.

PS Win 10 will be EOL (not to be confused with SOL, but close) in less than a year.

Yeah, I'm putting off the 'upgrade' because, with the old computer, I had to get a bunch of BIOS shit right to make it work at all.  And now that I have a laptop that already has 11 on it, I realize it's an AI-infested mess and I want to delay that as long as I can.

It honestly looked like a big gummy slab of hash. Eating it was like eating a giant handful of mushrooms, in that you just chew and chew and chew. At least this one was strawberry flavor. I got a really short but deep sleep out of it.

I would like to have an old computer and crt tv again. I decided to abandon modernity.

My ocd makes me not wanna fix some of my posts. It's the "spiritual" meaning of the post that matters more anywayz.

Modernity is hardly the issue.  The issue is the scourge of planned obsolescence among so much of the stuff made today.

The wife is worried that Google is going to get shut down, so I've been working on copying everything she had on google drive over to an external.

Hold on, is this for real? (I have not been able to pay attention to the news for a long time)

I'm having a really shit day today. I'm sore, tired and everything has gone wrong. Trigger warning for mental health issues, don't want to set anybody off. Please keep to here and not Facebook.

This month is one of my trigger months as it's Mum's birthday and Christmas. March for my birthday and usually Mother's Day. April, Mother's Day and June the worst, her anniversary. Self-harmed on Mum's birthday and Christmas Day. I miss my Mum so much but need to remind myself she's in pain no longer and to take solace in that. Relapses suck. I do mainly on special occasions as to reference Dulux, it does what it says on the tin. It's breaking that mindset I have to because if I don't, it means I don't care anymore. You get me?

Hope can lift you up but it can tear you down. This month and more than a few, like middle of the year I've had five separate friends say we'll meet up and none did. It's like don't give me something to look forward towards and pull the carpet from under me. My Dad and Sister also let me down which is even worse.

I asked people on Facebook what they like about me to try and help me see what others do as I put myself down. Most did leave lovely comments.

I'm sad my time with Jodie is coming to an end as she's helped me. Jodie said she'd see me always if she could but she can't. I'm referred to CORE and had my assessment while my assigned case worker is on annual leave. Jodie, Julie/David from the Cellar Trust and CORE all day with my personality and having mental health issues, I'd be perfect to help but doors get shut on me.

Lone Christmas highlights were Gym Rig Circuit, I amazed myself getting through it but it was rigorous, the last Spirals class of 2024 and Christmas Day was one of the better ones since losing Mum.

I get irrational thoughts that I'm a burden a letdown and make loved ones ashamed of me despite people saying otherwise. I think about how I'd be remembered and what would happen to my possessions.

I'm not looking forward to having a colonoscopy for the third time next month to get the polyps removed. My understanding was if something was found, they'd be removed then. I was furious. There won't be a fourth time. The prep is fucking miserable. Over 24 hours without food and 4 without water.

It's my 40th birthday 6th March 2025. I'd like to get a gold chain as Mum wanted to for my 30th. Wish I did then, better still before losing my Mum. I dwell over regrets and things I can't change big time like that. I'm grateful for presents from my Dad as they come from Mum too but It's not the same you know? I regret not having more pictures with Mum when she was here.

It's tiring self-harming, having suicidal thoughts, battling my brain daily and the Cerebral Palsy making my body work five times harder doing everything as those without. I'm lucky I can walk and talk, you wouldn't know to look at me compared to nearly everyone else with CP but it still doesn't make it easy. You wouldn't know I had over seven years of speech therapy and physiotherapy as we were told I'd never properly talk or walk either. Getting out of bed is a challenge. I'm fat too which doesn't help me mentally or physically either. I'm tired of my stomach pains too.

Thanks for putting up with me and hearing me out here. I don't want people getting tired of me like I'm a broken record and I'm conscious of people having their own things going on too.

I wish you a Happy New Year 2025.

Love, Paul xxx.

A couple of months ago, the government brought a suit declaring that Google was monopoly and needed to be broken up. It's apparently headed for court sometime in the spring.

I can't pretend to know or understand what you're going through but wanted to single these out to highlight the positive things about what you're going through.  I see things have been tough but you're a lot tougher than you might give yourself credit for sometimes.  With all that's happened I'm sure it'd be easy to give up and let things go where they take you.  But you're doing the work and it shows every time you're giving an update.  Even if the progress feels minimal it's progress and nobody can take that away from you.

As always you're much loved over here but I wish more could be done to help in any way.  Even if it's something small like an online gift card one can get to some thing or place you like I can't speak for others but I'd be happy to help with that.  But no matter how small things feel with the positive parts of it all hold onto it tight and use that to build to more positive things in your life.  It's worth it and so are you.  My wife and I love you, mate and Happy New Year.

Wait, there are antitrust laws in this country still? [/sarcasm]

Paul, you are definitely not alone out there. My troubles can't compare to yours, but they're there. I'm gonna force myself to get cleaned up on New Year's Day. Got a new psychiatrist and a new therapist, and boy the therapy isn't fun. I had to relive the time a houseful of friends caught on fire and one of them suffered from smoke inhalation and got burned up. They tried to do skin grafts but she succumbed eventually. Went to her funeral, and in the ultimate irony, she was cremated, not even a closed casket.

Next session is childhood. 

Not fun.
