My surgery (tumour extraction) has been rejected by hospital, because of my high BMI, so now I'm organising bariatric surgery to solve my lifetime problem once for all...
So, so far its been weird for me :)
How are you, noisy?

I had my third treatment with monoclonal antibodies against B-cell lymphoma yesterday, and they appear to have an effect.
The pain in my swollen knee is reduced and I no longer get fevers, which I used to get every afternoon. I feel stronger, and more ... emotionally awake.
The poo-bag on my stomach is still a chore, and I'm still underweight but with a big appetite: I can eat practically all the time if I want to, as long as it is low-fat. I sometimes even have the energy to exercise a little bit.

But today, I'm a bit jittery. I don't know if I may have overdosed on caffeine, on sugar or both... or if this is a pure emotional reaction to some kind of normalcy or to newly found boredom.

How are you, noisy?

Oh you know, ****ing horrible. Today is supposedly my birthday, but all it really is is a reminder that I've failed at every single thing I've attempted to do in the past 8 years. Zero improvements, zero gains, I couldn't even make enough money to get a car in all that time. I'm gonna be 40 soon and I have nothing and have done nothing.

So today, a terrible reminder. Tomorrow, I'll probably be numb to it again.

But it seems some of you are having it much worse. Life is not always what it should be.

Aaaaaaa, so its today?!

Happy Birthday Noisy!!!!!



Listen, we've all seen your posts where shared your feeling lately - life isn't always great, fair or all amazing. I only say it based on my experience and observations, but nothing really is easy. When we are children, parents and everyone around us tell us its gonna be great, you can be anyone you want etc. Personally I think that's all BS. Life is really hard for almost everyone, in general. Things may be hard for a day, week, year or even longer period, we will only have moments of happiness, moments were things gonna go smoothly and we will feel better. But most of the time it isn't easy, constant struggle. People not always tell truth, I noticed that almost everybody that I know tell lies, they pretend that they are doing great, are successful, always busy but having great time. They say it in person, show it in social media, but truth be told, they aren't always like that. For last 20 years I learnt how to read all those signs and see through all that bs. It is very disappointing, but once you notice it, you will understand that its not only you are having trouble achieving things in your life, but everyone is - nowadays its like way of life - to pretend its all great and easy, show you're doing great, so everyone will envy and feel miserable. I'm not good in cheering up, and maybe this doesn't sound good what I wrote here, but its one thing that thought I would tell you. I hope you had good time today, done something for yourself, even if it was a small thing, like having something nice to eat, or watch your favourite movie, spend time with your friend. That's what I do every year for my birthday. I don't have huge parties and to be honest for last 20 years I did not have a birthday party like most people have. During my 30th and 40th birthday I had to be somewhere else where I couldn't even celebrate. Maybe I will have opportunity to have fun on my 50th, but that's far from now ;)

Again, Happy Birthday Noisy!  :-*  :))

Life as advertised is very unnatural, we productized happiness, we've distorted it.

Don't worry too much about how society defines success, look within and mold it in your own terms.

That is true for some people phinix, but in Tp4's experience, most people who behave as such are not internally malicious, they create their shell as protection, in a society that perpetuates so little empathy, they are afraid that showing any weakness will either drive others away or do it to distract themselves from the fact that their efforts towards happiness are not working.

I truly believe most endeavors as sold to us are dead ends, be it ideas or objects, they're mostly momentary acquisitions to trigger the senses hijacking the reality which we humans are designed to participate/ invest.

It may not be intentionally insidious, but it's a misstep, a basic but pervasive software error.

Not bad, booked a three weeks holiday in Australia and got a dental crown.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I'm just as shocked as you are lol. I guess I had a good start because we were pretty good friends before hand, but my only advice is to be confident. People dig confidence.

We had known each other for a while before hand, and they had been dropping hints that they wanted to be more then friends for a bit, so it kinda just worked out that way.

A day of small failures for me.
Cooked Curry Udon for the first time, but spilled curry powder in the sauce so it got too spicy.
Tried to make a baked cheesecake with silken tofu, but instead of writing down the recipe I had found, I winged the proportions, got them wrong and the result is just a tough sticky mess.

Tried a few new inks in my fountain pens and read a book on algorithms.

Woke up late and exhausted due to stomping rude upstairs neighbors.
Later I'm going to watch some UFC thing, then go to a casino. 2 things I'd never otherwise do voluntarily, but it should be fun.

Just remember, don't spend any money you're not willing to lose, gambling is not an investment, and the entire place is engineered to sap every dime from you.

Oh man, yesterday was a trip.
Had to warn a friend about a guy she was seeing, apparently he liked to beat on his girlfriends.
I didn't want that to happen to her so I had to be the one to warn her.

****in' hate drama and getting in the middle of things, but couldn't let this slide.
