Once again pewep shows himself to be empathetic to the core. Be yourself, buddy, don't change for nobody and stay clothed online.
And here's to shindig's health and steady recovery.
An aside: A special congrats to anyone who's smug about being self-employed. It's for the best that people don't have to work with you.
Job. No job. Who the fuck knows. We're desperately trying to create relevancy in an irrelevant world. The human race is a non-factor in the scale of the universe.
Good luck with your surgery man.

Assuming you don't have any assets, why not just declare bankruptcy after your surgery to wipe your debts? Your credit is going to be fucked anyway, might as well get the reward for it.
Goodluck with the surgery and goodluck with the new job.

Yeah I'm just waiting until I get to garnishment. If I file right now I'll have a bunch of bills not included in it...
That's the main reason I'm not getting married. My gf of 8 years makes over 80k/year and has perfect credit, I'm the degenerate. I'm on her insurance through her work as a domestic partner.
I still own a pile of shit house in the midwest I rent out and it's kept me from qualifying for any assistance programs.... also I started a life insurance policy and roth IRA when i turned 18 cause I inherited money and somehow that shit keeps you from qualifying for hospital charity or medicaid.
But then if I default on the house right now, I can pocket about $3k that I'm about to pay out for taxes/insurance for the year along with rents for the next couple months. So I'm tempted...but at the same time I'm 10 years through a 20 year mortgage, so my premiums are going to be knocking down principal more and more, and once it's paid off that's basically another $50k I can pull out in loans using it as collateral.
Sell that motherfucker to your girlfriend at an extremely "competitive" price... :tongue2:
Check out this shit, and I'm already back home chillin feeling fucking great, no joke, the worst pain is gone, which was why I had the surgery.
Proud scar. You should roll around head shaved all the days to show it off. Best of luck in your recovery.
"Suicide disease" aka trigeminal neuralgia for 1.5 years with only partial help from meds.
It's called suicide disease because people used to just kill themselves when they got it because it's one of the most painful ailments you can have. Nowadays meds can tone it down a bit and the surgery works in half of cases.
For me it was an artery and veins wrapped around the nerve so every time blood pumps through them it rubbed the nerve raw and then it just shorts out and blasts you with the worse pain imaginable.
But the pain is gone now, finally.
But shit I had brain surgery 2 days ago and am already home, walking, typing, talking etc. Crazy shit
Congrats and good luck shindig
Just throwing in my 2cents...
I think even more important than happiness is a life full of meaning and purpose. Happiness and contentment can be a side effect of this, but chasing happiness or only doing what you enjoy is going about it the wrong way. Sometimes meaning and purpose require the sacrifice of happiness or doing what we love, and sometimes it goes hand in hand... them's the breaks.

Well if I live to be 80 years old I want to be making interactive games/content and to me that would be better than being a rock star or anything glamorous and shallow. And programming is something I can do from the beach in costa rica.
So my dream job was to land a game programming job in a studio where I can become better at it and work on a team.
Being crippled by pain changed me quite a bit. I'm just stoked being 29 I'm able to overcome it and bounce back faster than people less healthy or older. I was ready to kill myself 8 months ago just to escape pain despite loving my life, not out of depression but just desperation.

This is nasty. Hope the surgery puts you out of your misery.
Poor you. The look of it is pain-inducing, can't imagine what you must be feeling.
It's best that you now start avoiding those that are, simply put, pain-in-the-assitude--and learn to live what's left of your life, in complete pace and harmony.
