Update: I talked to ebay and luckily I called- because they already took the additional $20 from that transaction. Now I have to do a transaction cancellation and have the deadbeat buyer accept it to get my money credited back. If he doesn't accept it, I have to open an unpaid item case and then hope that works out. :{ @ ebay for just taking their 10% at the end of the auction without any payment or verification that the sale went through

it's ebay.

A blessing and a curse :{

It's okay guys, at least you're not sitting in your bed watching Man vs. Food while eating out of a jar of peanut butter with a spoon.

I've laid on my bed watching Man vs Food................................... while eating a box of tacos and pretending I was doing a food challenge

I will bump this thread with the very personal tale of how I was able to overcome my addiction to a very common drug.

Enjoy...and remember, no drug is harmless.

http://undermyfitted.blogspot.com/2013/06/turning-off.html


Recently, I've made the decision to try breaking free of a certain addiction.
My history of drug use is no big secret. There was a time where I used heavily each and every day. There are plenty of umf posts related directly to my experiences with a wide range of related products and their effects on my life thereof. It got to a point where it was simply taking up too much of my life.

I mean, we hear so often that it's harmless, but how many mindless automatons have you seen it produce? How many wasted lives does this drug have on its' body count? How much of its' paraphernalia pollutes living rooms the world over? While the physiological effects are minimal, its' the laziness of  mind, the lack of drive, the unwillingness to push your thought process past those possible under the influence that are the most devastating consequences of extended heavy use...and those effects can last a lifetime.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not fun for me any more. Well...as much fun as you can have while escaping from your own mind. People say the habit I used to have can spark your mental process and make you laugh a lot...and admittedly sometimes, it does do those things. The problem is that most of the time, it just dulls your mind, makes you sit on the couch like a lifeless drone for hours on end and gradually lowers your standard of what's considered a good time.

It affects everyone differently, and I'm sure you know of many people who it has caused to act in ways they would never act on their own. Some show me the worst of myself and give me an uncomfortable amount of insight about how ****** up the world and the bipedal supermonkeys that inhabit it can be. Some just make being around other people more tolerable. All are more often than not a crutch, a tool for the weak-minded to make their dreary existences pass by just a little faster.

I'm not proud of everything I've done under the influence of my addiction. It's altered my perception of life, kept me from communicating with friends and family, and gotten me into more than a few...unpleasant romantic situations. I've even occasionally neglected the needs of my girlfriend and child to feed my habit...which would be okay if it was just her because she does it to me too, but many parents see their relationship with their children suffer because of the drug's hold on their everyday life. I've decided not to be that parent.

All that considered, it's time for me to make a change. For myself, yeah, but for my kid too. I don't want him to grow up hooked on the stuff, and that's exactly what would happen if he grew up watching me do it. The time he would waste with that is time he could be playing outside, having meaningful conversations with his friends in person (if such a concept should still exist in a few years) or--gasp--reading a book.

I know there's a price to pay with my social life. People who associate with me based on my use of the drug will likely find they have less to talk about with me. I stand to lose a few friends, and I don't have that many now. It's also glamorized in the media, so I will probably never be one of the cool kids on the cutting edge of the culture again...but I believe the benefit of beating my addiction is well worth the personal cost.

I couldn't go cold turkey. Just had to kind of wean myself off. It started by using less over the course of a day, then not turning on for a whole day. When I finally went a solid week without the stuff, I knew its' hold over me was broken. I would never be forced to plan my day based on how I could be around it again...I had reclaimed my life.

I'll probably still use it a little when I want to kick back and watch some football in the best possible way or just want my mind to wander among areas of interest for a bit of inspiration...space, philosophy, current events, history, social theory, cage fighting, cartoons...the kind of things you get less of a chance to carefully consider in a totally uninfluenced state.

Still, I have managed to remove most of it from my life, and I think I'm a better person for it. We all have our vices, and I'd be foolish to think I'd never want to use it again...but it's a far smaller part of who I am as a person. I'm proud of myself for getting past my addiction, as many people die before they do.

Nope, I don't watch much TV at all any more. It's an extremely dangerous drug in large quantities.

Maybe next I can try quitting social media...y'know, when I'm not my own ad agency.

Now, where's that damn lighter...

just started Limitless, is it worth watching?
Damn sure is.
Saw it the other day. Great film



I've been laughing at this for way too long now.


That's about the right response. :lol Dudes will scrap over a bad cut, and rightfully so. I do wonder what the point of posting a video online was if he didn't want people seeing his zeekage.

taking a week off work is the right response though? come on



damn some of that gotta hurt like a mofo.

I'm saying tho...in our culture, a fresh and terrible haircut is as good as having a henna tattoo of a penis on your forehead...approximately 2 solid weeks of being heckled. I know if I was him, I wouldn't want to go back outside until my **** grew back a little. I just understand what he was going through on a very visceral level.
