My father always said, the ocean washes away all your sins. He meant that it helps get rid of a hangover, but I find that it helps in a lot of other ways too.
Recommendation: Brownie Mountain from Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job. It's a melancholy anthem that rewards - and, in fact, requires - fully-commited vocals, while at the same time also being a song about accidentally eating a literally mountain-sized pile of brownies.
Oh man. Streetlight strikes some emotional chords that nobody else can reach for me. Somewhere in the Between is my personal favorite album, but Everything Goes Numb is also 100% amazing songs. Plus, I swear that every time I've seen them live I walk out thinking "that might have been the best fucking show I've ever been to."
Whatever you're going through, I hope you wake up in a better place in a better time.
Thanks sibling. It’s been a thousand tiny cuts this week but I’m holding on.
Both of those albums hold a ton of significance for me. I actually sang the song “Somewhere in the Between” as a lulllaby to my kid, but ETGN helped me through my other kid’s suicide attempt.
I’m glad to find someone who loves Streetlight like I do. If we haven’t met in the pit already, I hope we do soon.
One of my favorite jokes of all time is "that'll frac." (Used to be in the oilfield) but saying it after something has failed catastrophically. Like a 2500 HP throwing a rod, or hoses exploding. I wish I could employ that strategy inwardly.
And by good food, I mean food that is healthy for you and satisfying and novel enough that it causes the receptors in your brain to start firing off.
It's a rare treat to find a place that even offers that.
The last time I went to Portland I stumbled across a restaurant called kebab and had Egyptian chicken kusharia and it was so good that it made my entire week. I'm still thinking about that chicken kusharia and that was back in April.
I had a neighbor who used a pair of scissors to cut his grass regularly. It wasn’t a big yard, maybe 12ft x 12ft, but he’d be out there all the time kneeling and trimming his grass.
One day I asked why he didn’t just use a mower, and he said it gives him a chance to get some time away from his wife lol
Take a rock, imbue it with the emotion, the essence of what’s bothering you… name it the thing that is causing you grief, and chuck it in the fucking lake.
Never discount what a good masturbation can do, or a nap. One after the other is even better.
If those don’t work and weather permits it, just going outside and watching nature is very cathartic for me. Not feeling trapped in an apartment or situation.
This may sound dumb, but resolving the problem. I was super stressed yesterday when I got an alert that my paid parking timed out. I thought i would be able to extend it on the app, but turned out you could only do that before the timer ended. And the website said you could ask a "live agent" any questions, but there was only AI with pre-selected topics.
So I had to hurry back across the city to pay for another period and I was LIVID but as soon as I got the next period covered (and no ticket) I felt better. I was (am) still angry on an intellectual level about the garbage parking company and their bald-faced lies about live agents, but I no longer felt the need to rage-scream.
Getting all the ingredients ready and putting them together is a good feeling. I feel like I'm creating something. Then I get to eat it. I'm making sauteed mushrooms and a turkey burger tonight. I got garlic paste for the mushrooms, so I'm excited for it. I love it when a plan comes together.

I mean, this is a quote from Conan the Barbarian, so it's not an original thought for toast.
I will admit I could be misunderstanding something though.

Sex. Not masturbation, tho. If that ever leads to crying, they must've broke my dick.
