Random thoughts of the night Isn't it kind of funny that for us to be here, it means we probably played MapleStory at one point or another? I mean, maybe some of you still do.. but I (and I'm sure many of you here), can't help but think __JFC who was that guy?__ Sometimes I kick back and reflect on parts of my life that don't feel like they were real, and I'm pretty sure my maple phase definitely takes the cake. Anyway, anyone else thinking of strange (potentially existential) things tonight? What's on your mind, folks?
Why do you believe? What's the point of believing? Do you believe? Do you embrace the unknown? Do you attribute meaning to things that are unknown--if so, where does that come from? This could be about anything really--faith, lifestyle, dreams & ambitions. Feel free to talk about whatever, but really try to make sense of why you act or live the way you do. Who knows, you might inspire someone who's reading (myself included) Sorry guys it's late and I've been talking about weird things all day with my coworkers
Where would you like to live? If you could live anywhere (and money wasn't an issue)? Personally, I'm in Brooklyn now and I'm really digging it. The food is great, the nightlife is my scene, and I hardly ever have any transportation issues (25-30 mins from work). Ideally, I'd love to live in the West Village. Sure, transportation might not be as great there but who cares about that if the place is so damn beautiful. It seems like the best place to settle down with a family in the city-if not there then I'd spring for a loft in Chelsea. I can also see myself loving San Francisco/Seattle/Portland, although I'd probably miss NYC's superior transportation.. Realistically though, I'll hopefully invest in some real estate here in Brooklyn.. we'll
Coachella 2015 Welps the lineup is finally up and honestly I'm a bit disappointed.. Way too much EDM. If I wanted that I'd go to some dumb EDM festival (no offense to any of you who like it, it's just not my concert scene) I guess on first glance I'm most excited about: ac/dc sylvan esso jack white alt j (first album pls) hozier milky chance cashmere cat st vincent marina and the diamonds stromae vance joy st lucia saint motel ryan Adams interpol alabama shakes tame impala fka twigs kimbra war on drugs brand new panda bear ratatat circa survive father john misty Mm hopefully none of these coincide with each other but they definitely will lmao If any of you are going, who will you definitely be seeing? Or if you're not, wh
Sleeping habits Man I could talk about sleep forever bcuz sleep is the best Used to hate it when I was younger but now I can't help but invest in good bed stuff I also hate sleeping alone which is a real problem because well like right now for example I have this biogas bed and if I leave my little corner boom it's freezing But I like cold pillows I don't understand why pillows get hot and I hate having to flip them over wtf I'm trying to sleep stop burning my head I also like to sleep on my back but I heard fetal position is better And that if you sleep facing the left you are creative Which I guess makes me creative sometimes But it's also nice to sleep in the nude Except when you're at home with parents because wtf why would u sleep nekk
broken things and stuff So I bought this rly cool umbrella shaped like a samurai sword I really really liked it, and paired with those sars masks i've basically been guaranteed a seat on the subway for the past few weeks last night i had a little too much to drink and i swung the umbrella like a sword.. it's not a sword so it snapped in half (ikr so strong am i) seriously though i'm really bummed now because it was expensive and now i need to get a new umbrella (and if you live in a city you know how much of a pain in the ass that can be) i hit up two muji stores for a new one but they were sold out blergh also i dropped my earbuds in water today but i used the rice trick and they still work thank god have you broken anything recently? Why
Does it scare any of you how repetitive life can be? **edit:** lmao title should read repetitive- soz, long day of work was long Wake up, get ready, do an activity that takes an extended amount of time (school, work, etc), come home, nap/work out, practice a hobby, sleep, repeat- with variable weekends I guess Growing up, the scariest thing in the world to me was falling into a cycle, watching suits take the train to work and home each day.. but alas, it ended up happening to me as well It's like a system is created for us to live a life of things that aren't necessary- we work all day and then feel forced to spend money to feel entertained. We participate in a culture of excessive spending and worry about things that really shouldn't matte
help me change my name So it's that time of life where I'll be applying for new jobs soon and I'm seriously considering changing my name I've been blessed with the name Jorge which has served me well for the past 24 years, but it's time to retire that name. Because racism is a real thing, I'm switching to my middle name- Anthony That is until I thought I might go by Tony since that's what my parents call me... What do you think? Tony or Anthony? *On my resume it will read either J. Tony or J. Anthony "last name" Anyone else have to change their names to apply for jobs?
winter boots thread I'm on the hunt for winter boots and I'm having a rough time.. I really want [url=https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/JCrewingoodcompany/RedWingShoes/PRD~30489/30489.jsp?Nbrd=J&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=red+wing&isSaleItem=false&color_name=DARK%20BROWN&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row0]these[/url] but I've heard that Red Wing boots run a bit narrow and I have wide feet so I'm hesitant to get them. Guess I'll have to trek over to the Red Wing shop and check them out Anyone know of a boot comparable to the beckman? Or do you have any other boots you'd like to recommend? What will you be donning on your feet this winter, Basil?
Why does Nyc Mta make me want to rage quit there are more than 9 million people in this city A goddamn ride is 2.50 EACH WAY where the hell is all our money going? I'm getting sick of the U.S., namely NYC- our infrastructure makes me cringe more each year and instead of making changes that create tangible differences and efficiency, these 237;647ers just jack up prices and do absolutely nothing For a culture so obsessed with time we sure are pathetic We need less monopolies and more competition- there should be more than one stupid company running our entire transportation system Oh and don't even get me started with the following: [i]the train is being delayed momentarily due to a sick passenger...[/i] THIS MAKES NO FREAKING SENSE. GET THE
Out of body experiences? I had a long Friday night and barely got any sleep before leaving for work on Saturday morning As soon as I got on the bus- I knocked the hell out. Much faster than I usually do Next thing I know everything has a dimmer hue to it and I'm sitting next to myself. Whoa, freaky. Then I'm floating around the bus and outside it following it- still watching myself. I can fly? Wat? I pass the Dunkin donuts on 17 we always pass and that's when I freak out and fly back to my sleeping body Then I wake up and sure enough- we're driving past Dunkin Donuts ... Anyway, anyone have similar experiences? I also used to struggle with sleep paralysis.. But compared to that this was kind of... Nice. Part of me wishes I had explored more
friends? who needs em It bothers me sometimes to think of the fragility of relationships- platonic, intimate, and romantic alike What's the point of investing so much of ourselves into these things if they can fall apart at any given moment? Recently one of my closest friends randomly stopped replying to me. I have no idea what the hell happened, and I know for a fact I didn't do anything wrong. I even tried being civil about it and reached out to him to see what was going on but nope.. nothing. Sure, we had our differences. Sure, I made him who he is today and went through phases of awkward growth because of his jealousy. Sure, he was understanding beyond anything I could ever imagine and always looked out for me in times of need. But it d
Help me pls I had an emergency trip to the Philippines this past week and now I'm uber jet lagged and have to leave for work in 10 minutes What do Does anyone else's head hurt when they think of time zones like wtf I left Japan yesterday at 6pm and got here yesterday at 5pm how does that even work
institutionalized racism in the work place? namely Hr So I've been applying to several jobs for the past few months after finishing a one year stint with a non-profit.. After sending in well over 100 applications, I received [b]one request[/b] to come in for an interview. ONE. I don't mean to brag or anything, but I was more than well qualified for a number of the positions I applied for- if anything, I honestly felt overqualified. Here's where things become interesting: [url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/02/jose-joe-job-discrimination_n_5753880.html]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/02/jose-joe-job-discrimination_n_5753880.html[/url] After reading this article, things may make some more sense now.
