I finally got offered work for an IT company. More than 7 months of unemployment hell has finally come to an end.

Today was my last day in a job I held for almost 8 years. I was told it was a company decision, and I was among a small group of techs that was group together in a call to let us know they let us all go.

Now I have to go all over the web and cancel my subscriptions, update my resume, and find a new job. America, amirite?

A reply clarified that it was a frilly dress.

I see it now! It is a dress!

Egg on my face.
I fell off.
Ratioed.
Embarrassed.
And I'm sorry.
I hid my comments.

 orionfell put me on the block list. I can't even PM them with an apology.

I am not used to being blocked. I made a mistake and I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

As a man, my opinion should only be taken lightly, so don't worry about what I'm about to say.
I have 2 gripes about big breasts. I get some people like big boobs, and more power to them, but bigger isn't always better.
First, it's not physically healthy to have too large of breasts:
"Disproportionately large breasts can cause both physical and emotional distress for patients. Patients with macromastia may experience physical discomfort resulting from the weight of their breasts. The resulting pain can make it challenging for some patients to perform common physical activities. Along with the physical ailments of macromastia, some patients may suffer from emotional distress or more significant mental health problems as a result of their large breasts."
-American Society of Plastic Surgeons article on breast reduction surgery.

Second, the desire for large breasts is a body image problem. I don't like that society still favors unreasonable expectations on one's appearance. I encourage liking the body you have and not listening to peers who suggest otherwise. While I encourage having a healthy body, and work to manage issues like obesity, I also encourage being confident in the body you have. You shouldn't change it if it's in good health already, and you shouldn't change it just to look good for someone. Your body is your's alone, and feeling good about your own body is good for your mental health. Don't let body image affect the way you feel, and don't feel bad about the breasts you have.

That being said, there is a health risk to having large breasts, and if you don't feel physically comfortable (ie, your back hurts), then consider the options available that are made to help improve your physical health.

Finally, if necessary, consider surgical removal of your breasts entirely, as people with a family history of breast cancer stand to significantly reduce the risk of developing it themselves after having their breast tissue removed. Your health matters more than appearance.

Day 7/7

Woke up at my own bed, in my own home. Last day off before I go back to work.

Welcome home

Day 6/7


Having packed up yesterday night. We checked out at 6:30 and are currently on a 900+ mile drive back home.

Day 4&5/7
Same as the first, went to the track on Saturday and Sunday for all the festivities and racing. Tomorrow, were heading home!

Day 3 of 7: We parked and got a bus ride to the track. I got kick-ass film of the venue up to the end of first practice.

Day 2 of 7: We left Texarkana and made the 5.5-hour drive to a hotel in Austin. We are a half-hour drive to COTA.

Day 1 of 7: On my trip to a Formula One race, my dad and I leave home and make a stop at Texarkana for the night.

The worst of it is over, but the coughs and laryngitis still persists. I've returned to work as well. Thanks for the support.

I'm not able to get in contact with anyone. I just visited the clinic and there's nothing they can do but let the viral infection run it's course.

On the pain scale, I'm an 8

I cannot help you, but I want to.
I cannot save you, but I hope you will be saved.
I cannot stop Russia, but I will not help them.
I cannot end the war, but I will press those who can.

Please stay safe.
Flee if you can.
Live free, but keep on living.

I will be tweeting in-character as icaxhu on Twitter. Hope to meet you beneath the sea! ♥️🐍

This is a youtube video showing a dramatization of my five stages when I heard the news that Sonic Mania was delayed. I didn't want to believe it! I refused to believe it. Check it out yourself.

It means I'm bleeding out the ass and I gotta fix it.

If you wish me the best, great. That's very appreciated.

If you wish to donate for my medical costs...thanks, but please don't. I'm getting some relief from insurance, and even though the colonoscopy involved is about $1500 out of my pocket, I can work it out. I'm not worried.

Thanks in advance for any well-wishes. Later! Σ:3

Power company says that it's likely caused by a squirrel. Any squirrels in FA wanna speak up?

Now what do I do. I'm sweating in my own house while my parents get home from a weekend stay in Chicago. They had so much fun while I had a miserable weekend, and it only got worse. I have to go back to work tomorrow, and I could not get enough sleep. What the fuck else will go wrong.

It would be a felony punishable by shaming if Pete was in a rule 34 with any other character in the movie, including Elliot.

Not even once!

I'm having new troubles with my gaming PC and my Commodore 64. I'm pledging to restrict my budget to save up and cover the expenses, among other things.
Patreon pledges are unaffected. I think I'll be locking up my check card.
I'll be fine.

I've been through a lot.

* Moving to Evansville
* Moving 3 times within Evansville
* House repair and remodeling after storms and flooding
* Losing one pet and the remaining 3 of my grandparents
* 9 semesters of college
* Graduating
* Landing a full-time salaried position after graduation

Now I'm trying to adapt to my new lifestyle, taking on added responsibilities and managing expenses. I've spent money on computers new and old, video games, financed for a new car, taking on insurance and other needed expenses, and I find my income could take it all. Right now, I'm cutting down on consumption after having to give up $900 to Social Security, after they mess up and overpaid me. Guess this is their way of saying goodbye. I'm officially off of welfare. Still, with that amount of money, I've find myself supporting artists  ByondRage and  fek, for their art is their lifestyle.

While all that makes me happy, there's been a void within me that I've begun to feel recently. Because I was unemployed, living with my parents, and on welfare while I was taking on college, having a relationship was the absolute least of my worries at that time. I've not had an issue with, and rather enjoyed being alone, and I've not felt lonely at all. That was some time ago.

I'm now finding myself in an emotional tug-of-war. I want to remain single, yet I've begun to feel the pain of loneliness and desire to be close to someone, and have a relationship as a part of my life.
With that said, I'll need to explore my feelings a little more. Until then, my status remains the same: SINGLE, NOT SEEKING.

I've been depressed before, and I've seen how far my optimism has got me, so I've no worries of what the future has in store for me.

I look forward to it.

Best regards!

Where's The Fair Use?

I got a new computer under loan from my parents, to pay off over time. I can do with developing again.

Given all I was taught in creating android apps, I am attempting to create a simple three-tile matching game. Problem is, my attempts at creating the views that would contain the tiles (49 Views) end up with error 12: out of memory. What the @*#!?
