Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

You might like Schopenhauer (The world as will and representation) and Camus (The myth of sisyphus) too.

I may have to add them to the list then. They sound familiar... but not enough that I have a good idea of their concepts. I know I've been familiar with The Myth of Sisyphus before, but it's been a long time now.

You know, my list usually just stays a list. I buy the books and then put 'em on a shelf.... save 'em for a rainy day.

You're not alone. I do that for movies and games too.

And Aly does it with countless browser tabs.

Blah... I would LOVE to read. I used to read ALL the time, but now I'm too much of an internet junkie to pick up a book :/

My rant of the day is that my day is just beginning. In 40 minutes, I leave to get gas and head out to see my daughters. 3-4 is visitation with my youngest. 4-5 is our first therapy session together which I'm a bit nervous about. Then I'm picking up my oldest daughter and heading to the next town over to watch Brave. It's the only thing within our time schedule. The movie starts at 5:45.
I'll get back home sometime between 8-9.

I'm already exhausted, lol, and all I've done is shower
It should be a nice trip all in all though.

I hope everyone has a great day

This conversation makes me remember that when we talked about the big amount of saved bookmarks we have

Currently i have 46 pages of bookmarks saved, with each page containing 9 link... Soo that's 414 links....

You know, you can do both at the same time At least i do that. I read a bit, then check if there is any activity on the net, if there is, i react, then back to reading and so on

I have 20GB worth of shows on my desktop that never decreases, watches one, downloads another one... Or I just leave them there for pleasure.

Yes I remembered that bookmark conversation.

I can't read a book and use the internet at the same time. My OCD forbids me from doing so. Well I could if I really try but I wouldn't enjoy the story that way because it's too chaotic for my brain to handle. I usually read a book when it's really quiet in the night but I'm a terribly slow reader...

Yeah, what was the bloody app to save the tabs for later in an organised way without bookmarking? I never did get it -- think I tabbed it a while ago. >_>

This was it: Pocket (Formerly Read It Later)

It was called Read It Later back then, but now it's called Pocket. I have all my bookmarks saved in it, but it's still an enormous list that i'll probably never read fully... or even half of it o.o

Well, i have no problem with this. I just stop reading at a part where there is no real action going on, then check out the internet, then when i get back to the book i can continue without any problem and i can easily get back into the story

Lol.

It's not about getting back into the story for me. I literally go mad if I am disturbed while I am reading a storybook. Then I'll go back to the previous sentence. If I am disturbed again, I'll go back to the previous paragraph. If I am disturbed consecutively for the third time, I go back to the start of the page. Talk about madness. -.-

You never fail to surprise me.

I had the most horrible train trip. I woke up at 6 AM to catch my train, and I had a bit of a headache and a stiff neck from sleeping awkwardly. Or so I thought. As the hour of departure neared I realized it was actually a migraine coming on and my head just got worse and I started feeling nauseous: Great. But I still got on the buss heading down to the train station. It's a ~20 minute ride there, and all the motion and bumping and turning makes me feel much sicker. Finally we get there, and I exit the buss and I'm desperately trying to quell the nausea. I fail, and so a minute later I puke all over the sidewalk. It's mostly water, as I didn't have an appetite that morning, but I feel incredibly embarrassed (and sick), and realize it just looks like I'm hung over or something. I get into the train station and wash off, and then I get on the train. All set for a 6 and a half hour train ride. During the train ride I try to sleep but it's difficult, and the awkwardness causes the pain in my neck and the headache to get worse. Also my stomach continuously hurts from being too empty and from having recently thrown up. Luckily though the smooth motion of the train doesn't make me more sick, but I still avoid drinking anything to be on the safe side. Despite getting really thirsty, after a while. The train ride feels endless but does finally come to a stop. Due to maintenance and upgrading of the railways near Oslo we have to stop a bit early and take a ~20 minute buss-ride to get to the station. On the buss my nausea flares up again, and if my stomach hadn't already been completely and painfully empty I would probably have thrown up again. Then I get off the buss and walk to the subway and get on. There are no front-facing seats empty (and no way I'm sitting the wrong way), so I have to stand for the entire ~25 minute ride. Finally I get off and walk home, drink some water and sink blissfully into my bed. A few minutes later I vomit, as I expected (I had brought a bucket), and after washing off again and drinking some more water I am finally able to sleep. I wake up five hours later, and now I feel much better. The nausea is gone and my head and neck only hurts mildly.

From the start of the initial buss ride and till I got home was about 10 hours in total.

TL;DR: Migraine and long train-rides do not go well together.

My 8-year-old just said "What in tarnation?" lol

When did he get so old?

Ugh that sucks! I'm sorry :O I get nausea and headaches so easy! Literally if I ride in any type of car (and trains, but i don't do that often) besides the one's that i'm used to, i get terrible motion sickness within like 5 minutes.

Sounds horrible to experience that on a regular basis.

Sounds like a nightmare, Khh!!
I get terrible motion sickness, so I sympathize... and migraines are the worst!

In fact, that's partially my rant too :/

I actually had counseling with my youngest first thing. The counselor is going to get on my nerves lol. He's a nice enough guy BUT, I live, breath and eat generalities. That's not "allowed". Words like "sort of", "I don't know", "not really" aren't acceptable.
He didn't call me out on this one thing, but he asked if I knew anyone who ever battled cancer. Not really. My mom had skin cancer- so, yes, someone I knows HAD cancer. But did she "Battle" it? Not really.
The other thing: He asked if I have ever made a bad decision. I immediately said "Definitely" which got a chuckle out of my daughter. He quickly explained that there are no "bad decisions". If we knew it was bad, at the time, we wouldn't have made it. I don't agree with that. I smoke. I choose to smoke. I KNOW it's a bad decision but I make it anyhow because the immediate gratification is worth the risk in my warped mind.
His methods are all about taking ownership of your past and current behaviors/modes of thinking. That's all fine and well but........ his way of communicating is going to leave me humored and frustrated.

Then I had my hour visit with my youngest, followed by racing to pick up my eldest daughter.
We saw "Brave" in High Definition. I liked the show more than my daughter which she thought was just "okay".
We were THE ONLY people in the theater which was really cool but also a little creepy lol

We both left with terrible headaches. I felt like throwing up the entire drive home. I stopped at McD's to put something on my stomach (too much caffeine and nicotine on an empty stomach tends to make my headaches worse).
It helped but then I got "hurtin' gas". The last leg of my trip had me thinking I was having a heart attack. I checked my pulse, it was slower than normal but still perfectly fine. I was sweating and jittery and absolutely miserable. Then I took a very deep breath and held it.
Oddly, that helped. When I got out of the car, I quietly belched a couple of times and now I feel completely better.
How strange lol.
I took a gas-x to be especially cautious.

Why the heck does most of my gas end up in my chest? It's so incredibly annoying.

But I am home for the night. Time to relax.

Damn vandals.

Eating is REALLY weird. If you stop doing it, you die. I keep thinking about its weirdness.

Also 9999.
