Which means no more GD for me.

I'm going to make bookmarks that go directly to my DU mailbox and Lounge, so I don't see anything in the main screen to get me into "chicken little" mode.

35. Sometimes
I go to church. Been several years since I last darkened a church door though. I'm in recovery.

I used to flip off bad drivers - but I quit after a couple chased me.

I could stand to lose a few pounds. Hasn't happened even though I have become semi-vegetarian and have increased my activity level. I feel better it just doesn't show on the scale. Frustrating.

There's probably more....

43. no honey
it ain't even like that. The way it is with me, if I loaned someone $50.00, they'd have to knock me out, call the police, and tell them I tried to steal their $50.00. That's about a pretty accurate example of how bad my trust issues are.

40. Too many to list but I can try....
I smoke cigarettes (cloves), drink, partake of the ganja, procrastinate constantly, put myself down, bad taste in men, eat terribly, don't drink water, live in the moment, do daredevilish things like skydiving and bungee jumping, I could go on and on....

ONE of these days, I'm gonna get my shit together...but I'm procrastinating on that too.

48. Dealing with idiots and morans
Can't do it.After about ten seconds I am ready to rip their heads off.
Case in point:Right now Me and a couple of other electricians are trying to kick off our own company.Both have turned out to be complete idiots.I have just realized this morning that niether knows a thing about estimating and bidding for jobs. I am ready to wash my hands of the both of them.They almost sent in a bid today where we would have lost our asses on.
"But if we go low we will get the job"
"True,BUT I'M NOT IN THIS TO LOSE MONEY"
There's low then there is too low.This was way too low.We would not have had enough to to cover materials and labor much less a profit.

sigh....

51. To quote Tyler Durden from Fight Club:
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 08:13 PM by EOO
"Self improvement is masturbation. Self destruction may be the answer".

I drink a lot.

I eat lots of shitty foods.

I drive kind of recklessly in the shit parts of L.A. (and I never repair my vehicles).

I hang out in bars on weekends.

I like my music loud.

53. Eating food.
No I don't eat for comfort, or to satisfy emotional needs.
I exercise and can't lose any weight. Low calorie, high calorie, it doesn't matter.
And I'm on thyroid since my thyroid is dead and has been for decades.
Only solution I can come up with is liposuction.

54. Whiskey, Weed, Women, & the occasional Parliament.
By far the 3rd W are the most harmful to me. In fact the other 3 are usually because of the 3rd.
