Happy Vent Day
3 years ago
Hey!
Hope you don't mind, but I just need to let it out.
I mentioned in the past I don't usually like talking about my personal life, but the start of this week has been just too much for me.
First I appreciate people who greeted me on my Birthday today. I really appreciate it.
It's the little comfort I can get outta this crappy start to the week.
So didn't really spend my birthday as I'd like (again). I spend the entire day just doing chores on behalf of my mom since her court hearing just so happened to fall on my Birthday. And you'd think the one present I could get was for the courts to be on my mom's side. But NOOOOOOOOO! The judge (who previously was more sympathetic to us, considering we had all the proof & evidence to back us up on our lawsuit) decided to make a U-Turn and favor the defendant.
So I didn't really even get to relax the whole day. Didn't even blow out any candles.
Then one after the other, our favorite pets started to fall gravely ill. To the point of an emergency at 10pm.
While earlier that day on the way home, my mom encounters stupidity at the local Mcdonalds after the drive thru clerk screws up her order. She ordered leg and thigh for her fried chicken and a soda, and ends up getting the rib parts and no drinks.
Like, they had one job!
And all the while I was trying to order BBQ, but the online deliver had it listed as sold out (even though if you go to their restaurant, it readily available)
Then for some f*cked up reason both our cell phone service go completely haywire. It becomes a f*cking battle just to get a signal, which we never used to have a problem with.
Then the next day, my butterfingers decide to knock over my favorite collectables (after me trying so desperately to be careful). And as a result, ruining the item.
While on personal stuff, I've been on break from commissions working on this stupid FNaF image, and for the past 3 days I've just grown so sick of it. I've made it 50% of the way, but I'm at a point where I'm just sick and tired of trying to continue.
So quid essentially, I've wasted nearly a month on this one image when I could have been doing something more productive. I haven't earned squat this entire month, and I hate that I wasted my time when we're already tight on cash as is.
Finally the cherry on the sh*t cake, a local online seller decided to be the smartest of brains and change the color of my Denim Overalls from blue to black because they realized they were out of blue...Then decided to would be okay to send it out without telling me first.
We're just so overwhelmed by the bullsh*t right now.
Like, I'm deeply deeply angry. I prayed for a good week, but this is what we get. And even with a late b-day day out tomorrow, it's not a whole day of fun. A portion is for my mom's ear check up since her Tinnitus is killing her. And I hate there's nothing I can do to help.
Just, f*ck.
I know, compared these things are nothing compared to like the atrocities occurring in Ukraine right now, I get that. But I'm only human, and when one thing after the other just comes at you, it does get daunting.
Sorry guys, just had to let that out.
Hope you understand.
Hope you guys are having a better week thus far.
Take it easy.

But thank you, I appreciate it.
Hopefully this parade of bad luck ends soon for you
But thank you
You live a quiet life, but you can't seem to avoid legal BS
I don't know if you have a place to workout, but when I get shit days or weeks just escaping into lifting weights gets my mind off oclf everything.
But it's not as easy anymore.
I'll keep that in mind if ever I visit.
Any ways, thanks.
I appreciate it.
What happened, if you don't mind me asking?
It's like sh*t, f*ck you man.
It doesn't boast well for us moving forward. I honestly don't know how my testimony will even help. Seems like the judge made up his mind. Even with all the evidence.
It's an absolute clusterf*ck
Clusterf*ck indeed. >8(
Where judges get bribed
And Doctors come before patients.
Like, when I had my T.B. the first doc we saw just sat there and criticized our lifestyle
"You have curtains? Well, if I were you, I wouldn't own curtains, but that's just me, you do what you want, it's your life" and I quote.
I really hope after this storm, the sunshine will come for you!
And I can't thank you enough for the quick gift. It really made my day.
You're best.
I hate to see stuff like this happen to people, it really sucks. Also it is better to vent than to bottle it all up as they say. Let people know you're hurting so you can receive their love and support, and to let you know you're not alone! My prayers go out to you, your mother and pets, I hope you all can get through this tough time.
I try not to bother people with my issues, cause I fear they sometimes don't understand, get annoyed or offended. And I often time, I just get shrugged off.
But days like that day on my B-day, that was too much.
Any way, thanks for understanding.
Thank you.
And thank you so much for the present. I loved it.
You're awesome.
"Try and keep positive, It doesn't mean you need to force a smile and pretend everything is alright, But just know that better days are coming your way"
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate your support Trainman.
What kinda of a friends would I be if I wasn't there for you. Good times bad times, Here there or everywhere Samuel, I've got your back no matter what.
Hopefully things will get better
Any ways, thank you for understanding. I appreciate the kind words.
Very sorry to hear the lawsuit is going badly, and that corruption might be the reason. I hope your lawyer is good, and can stick it. if not hopefully an appeal is possible. A suave enough representative might be able to -politely- get on the record that the Judge's opinion reversal is -very unexpected-, without outright accusing the judge in a way that ends up in contempt.
Hoping and pulling for you.
Tinnitis and the Ukraine. I have tinnitis and Ukrainian friends and... yeah. The inability to sleep, the constant distraction, makes things miserable. It's just another tiny anchor on your life, holding you back. Another thing to drag. As for the Ukraine, I'm humbled and shamed by their ability to resist and stand up to the Russians, as well as deeply sympathetic to the Russian people, soldiers, artists who are dragged into this. I had to walk for an hour on the weekend and it wiped me out, ruined my feet. Maybe when I was 25, I could have defended my homeland like the Ukrainians are now, but not present day.
It's mind numbing, that in such modern, enlightened times another country would blatantly invade another. The images I've seen, it's like it's WW2. I believe it's WW3 at this stage. Putin has threatened Nukes if NATO intervenes, but really, that's just saying he'll use them if he's about to lose. NATO getting involved would defeat him for sure, but if the Ukrainians start being more successful he'll crack them out too. I have no doubt. The comparisons to Hitler I feel are apt, that he will start doing things to destroy his country, the world, as soon as his power is threatened.
It sucks, and all I can say having grown up in the Cold War, when Nukes and all this shit was happening with the USSR, is it's out of your hands and try to get on with your life and fix the things you can. If the picture you're working on doesn't interest you, let it lie and do something else.
Sorry I forgot your birthday. Sometimes they're only good if you make them good. I've had plenty where I've done nothing and they were depressing, so... try to treat yourself well. You and your mum deserve some happiness.
Oh geez, I'm sorry to hear you have Tinnitus too. How do you cope? Are you taking any medication or medical treatment?
The war is unbelievable. I totally agree with you.
It's one thing to hear a war in the Middle East, it's tragic but way too common. But to hear one in Europe, hasn't been heard off since the 90's.
And to see the suffering of the Ukrainian people, it breaks my heart, but also fuels my anger for Putin and sadly a good number of Russians too. I truly believe the only way this war will end without escalating into Nuclear Holocaust is for the Russian people to topple Putin and his high command themselves. And although there has been a good number of people who have stood up to Putin's Iron Curtain as is, there needs to be more. If they could get rid of the Czar, they can get rid of Putin.
But I agree with you, I commend the Ukrainian's for their fighting spirit. It's just SO frustrating that we world can't do more without fear of a 3rd world war.
But for certain, this will be Putin's last reign. This is the last straw in his act of tyranny. Karma is knocking on his door. It's just a matter of how and when.
But I digress, thank you for your thoughts and concerns. I appreciate you being here ^_^
Re: The Tinnitus. It comes and goes. I saw a video which talked about resetting the aural nerve by flicking the back of my skull 20 times. It sometimes works. I also have a small noise generator which is at a similar frequency and I listen to that, or at least it blends.
Also it's very weird and only my left ear, so I meditate and tell myself I'm imagining it. I put in some mineral oil drops, polysporin drops, and that helps sometimes. A lot of times it is hoping it goes away, or putting music on to drown it as I can sleep listening to music - usually.
Other times I don't sleep at all. so... it sucks. I didn't think there were medications... I'll look into that and let you know. Mostly, hang in there.
Keeping up my hope for the Ukraine too.
I can only imagine. I feel terrible, I I could do something for you and my mom. and it hurts not being able to.
I'm sorry to hear the struggles you go through. I can wish you all the best, the same as you've given me.
Thank you for your insights on this, it's helpful stuff, I may recommend this to my mom. The oils especially seem intriguing.
I hope there's hope for both you and my mom to recover. God willing.
My prayers to you both.
And yes, to Ukraine as well.
But thank you, I appreciate that.
Thanks for hearing me out over on PM.
I appreciate it.
Like that sounds really bad. Never seen you have this much going on in your personal life, nor just how chaotic it had been for you.
I can only apologise and comfort you here and now for everything you and your mum has been through man. I hope to God that better days will be coming for you and that there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
You stay strong my man. Keep your chin up. People, including myself, care for you and want to see things get better for you.
I hope you're right though. Hope things improve, cause right now, they aren't any better.
Thank you Caolan for your encouragement and kind words. Means a lot to me ^_^ Thank you my friend.
That is indeed a large load of fertilizer to be served all at once.
Thank you for the kind words. Means so much
I should be used to it by now, but life finds ways of making it fresh.
Any way, thanks Krillos. Always a pleasure. Means a lot.
Thank you Night.
Miss you too *hug*
I'm sorry that you and your mother are having such a rough time. I hope things start to turn and start to get better. I understand the need to rant.
There's nothing wrong with venting dear.
I hope you and your family can find some comfort and rest in these hard times. And I wish you luck with the court situation.
Thank you for listening, I appreciate you hearing me out.
I hope you're right, I hope things improve soon.
Thank you for the comfort, means a ton to me ^_^
Like many, I can only pray and give you my best vibes so that you and your mother have a well-deserved rest after all the ordeal you have had to endure.
Anyway, I wish you a happy belated birthday and I hope things get better in the future. As Fredbear's teddy would say in FNAF 4: "Tomorrow will be another day" :)
But yeah was one hell of a week that month, and unfortunately hasn't slowed down. Right now I'm self isolating for Covid...because of a haircut. Partly my fault, I got reckless for one day.
Any way, thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me ^_^
But yeah, thank you. I appreciate that.
we're all wishing for the best for you and your mother
