Lke i giv a fuk.

Today, we drop off presents at the GF's brothers house. She's one of 7 children in her immediate family, and the only one without kids of her own. The rest have either 2 or 3, and some even have grandchildren. It's a HUGE family, and a lot of work goes into getting things ready for the Xmas celebration, which will be next Saturday. I'll usually help when I can, but it's always fun to just get drunk and watch everyone else run around like headless chickens.

Dance for me bitches.

I'm back home now after working for weeks up in the Northern Territory. I haven't watched TV or been on the internet (other than for work) in that time so it's good to be back in the comfort of home though the work up there was interesting.

So this being the main 'social' thread, I need more comedians in my library. What would you recommend for a fan of Jim Breuer, Steven Wright, Mitch Hedberg, Eddie Murphy, Jim Galifininikakkikis, Richard Pryor, Ron White, Louis C.K., and George Carlin?

:laughing:

>Make myself a bomb grilled sandwich for lunch.
>As I'm eating this sandwich, my roommate gives me **** about not cleaning his pan that I used to cook the sandwich he can clearly see I am eating.
>I tell him in the future give me ten minutes to eat but I'll take care of it.
>All of his dishes have disappeared from the cupboards.

****in white people.

Next time just make the grilled cheese right on the stove.

I could, but I think I'll just use one of the other pans.

How is that spiteful?

****in white people.

Today I continue designing a mock-up of the USS Freedom for fire training purposes.

Ain't I freakin special.

Tom Segura.
Watch his Completely Normal special on Netflix, it's some next level ****.

Came home for Winter break today :).

The number of attractive persons I'm around down has decreased significantly :(.

Head down to OB this weekend to cheer yourself up.

Good idea, I think I'll go to Carlsbad though. No car.

<Jealously>

You people and your California lives.

<\Jealously>

Ever been to this place and tried the Pho? Suppose to be the bomb. They were profiled on Triple D and Fieri was raving about the food.

OB Noodle House | It's Always a Good Time for a Bowl

No, never been. The best pho places I've been to are Pho Ever in Vista (best broth I've ever had) and one of the Miramar Pho restaurants in Miramar (there's like ten with the same name). I'll make a date with my dad and try to go down there. Were the pho enthusiasts of the family.

Second recommendation I've gotten concerning him, watching now

So I had this thought a few weeks ago, I just thought about it again today so I figured i'd go ahead and post it here.

Most of the people I end up recognizing on the bus are the drunks/druggies acting crazy. I've been recognized as the same and it's both humoring and embarassing... there's supposedly a youtube vid of me singing FIDLAR songs wasted and high as ****.

Might be worth it to chat with the dude in your case though. If you're on friendly enough terms to greet each other you might make a friend.

It's possible. Sadly, it seems as though he doesn't ride the bus on my way home too often anymore. Hope he is well though, as he seems like a down to earth guy.

There's a guy I always pass if I walk in the direction of downtown in the early evening—he's obviously walking home from work at those times. The reason I notice him is he's always holding the mic of his iPhone earbuds in his mouth to talk to the person on the other end. He looks like a fucking lunatic doing this but appears to be an ordinary business guy. I'd miss him if I didn't see him.

I'm glad I'm not the only person that thinks about this type of stuff then. It's just weird to think how much different going to work / going home would be if there weren't familiar faces along the way. It's honestly just one of those things you don't normally think about until it sort of dawns on you I guess.

I think about it quite a bit. I think about the crossing guard I see down the street from my house. I still remember the guy who always wore the maroon flight jacket all the time on the train I took home from work a decade ago in Chicago. Or the big guy who used to wear a giant fur coat on my el commute a few years before that. Or the guy who used to obsessively buy scratch tickets in the morning in the convenience store below my apartment in Boston fourteen years ago.

Just curious, have you ever gone to college? I feel like after a certain point I got into a comfortable relationship (being on a greeting level as you are with headphones man) with those people to the point where either them or myself would try to get to know the other better than before. Could be a case of depressing lifeafteruniversityitus but I'm just curious tbh.

Yes, I went to college.

Also, I'm not on a greeting level with the headphones guy. He's just someone I pass if I'm walking the right direction at the right time. I've lived in large urban areas for most of the past twenty years (which includes college) so there are generally a lot of people around. The people I remember are just the ones that stick out. It would be really weird to try and befriend them in some way, both now and back when I was in college.

Be like "what's up my nigga?" If he's white he'll be like 'what?' Instant BFF's. If he's black you've got some esplaining to do but after that (I trust you can do well with the situation), but after that, instant BFF's.

There are only white and black people, btw. Mixed races and hispanics don't count.

I used to take the train to work. I did it for years. There were quite a few people I'd see on a daily basis, and every once in a while I'd strike up conversations with them. Sometimes I was sorry I even bothered, but every once in a while I found gold. The best was one of the conductors. He'd sit and chat with me the whole ride (about 30 minutes), not even caring that he had a job to do. He'd go on about his latest computer build, and I'd tell him about my band/music stuff. One time I forgot my phone on the seat I was in, and realized just as the train was pulling out of my stop. I quickly turned around as the doors were closing, and my conductor friend was standing there. I made a phone/hand gesture and pointed to where my seat was. He gave me a thumbs up, and the next day there he was to greet me at my pickup point with my phone. I tried to give him $20 for a reward, but he refused to take anything. One of the best chance friends I've made in a long time. Miss that guy.

I just ate a whole pizza. It isn't even noon. **** yeah.

Came closer to getting into a car accident this morning that I ever have before. Dark, 7 AM, barely awake, pouring rain, yellow light, guy in front of me speeds up to beat it, looks like I've got the room to make it with him so I go for it, he chokes at last second and slams on the brakes, I **** a thousand suns, slam on my breaks at 30 km/h maybe 40, useless in the pouring rain, I slide and swerve like a mother****er, miss him by barely a foot, CCR blasting on the tape deck. The brain does funny **** in a panic, the adrenaline didn't hit until I was stopped, while I was sliding towards him I was cool as a cat, completely focused on controlling the slide. Totally my mistake, should never try to be the second vehicle speeding through a yellow.

Can't wait to never do that again.

^
I'm sorry, but I chuckled at the image of a guy swerving abruptly at a light with "Down on the Corner" playing in the background.

Ironically it happened during the fast section of Ramble Tamble, which was actually extremely fitting lol.
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE, DOWN THE ROAD I GO".

More like "Who'll Stop the Rain". Nomsayin'?

Officially cleared by the FBI for super secret investment/financial stuff ☺. Damn... Really does feel good to be a gangsta. Hello, $15 an hour for an entry level position.

If you were a gangsta I imagine you wouldn't have passed. This just makes you look lame.

I honestly can't think of anyone less gangsta than Carpe atm. Also, I find it funny that autocorrect doesn't correct gangsta.

There's a difference between dumbass criminal trash who has strikes on their record and a gangsta. Real gangstas are clean.

I would also say that talking about "super secret investment/financial stuff" on an internet forum doesn't exactly make you good FBI either.
