That happened to me today, except it was from heat and not rain.

I am proud to report that I am not yet of an age where I turn down sex for sleep. Although I probably should have. I'm going to go pass out now.

There's an age for that?

Hay gusy lol.
My cousin just got the ball and chain, aka. got married.
Now I'm gonna go get sh*tfaced drunk, woo!

People are stupid. Obvious statement is obvious, but I don't think people realize just how correct that statement is sometimes.

Some people just make me want to punch them in the face with the combined force of my entire body weight.

That makes me really happy. I don't know why, but it does.

"Attend a random wedding" is on your bucket list?

Huh. I guess my list is shorter.

Attending an Asian wedding was on my bucket list.

Am I the only one who finds the idea of never ending life much more terrifying than death?

Reminds me of this article I re-read a couple of days ago. Being immortal would probably suck a couple of billion years from now when the Sun decides to implode.

The article is also incorrect.



I mean, it's hilarious, but it's wrong that I'd never get to the Andromeda galaxy. Last I heard, Andromeda was on a collision course with the Milky Way galaxy, so I'd eventually get there. Or it would get here.

Science.

I just don't think about death. I've seen it, I've done it, and I've come close to it myself. There's no appeal there.

Duvel Tripel Hop (Duvel with added Citra hops and dry hopped with Citra) is pretty @#%^ing good. It's like they mixed a bit of American IPA into Duvel.

Think of how your grandparents struggle with today's technology, hell think of how your parents struggle with technology. Now think how that'd be if you were 5000 years old.
I don't think you'd even last 200 before you're so disconnected from reality that you end up killing yourself.


I'm perfectly happy with knowing I'll die within the next 80 years.

Eh, think of how much different the world was 200 years ago, then think of how change has been going faster and faster, then try to imagine what the world will be like in 25 years, nevermind 50 or 100 or 200.

Some brilliant guy in the workman crew hired to renovate the building decided to open up an active water main in the same room as all our electrical boards, so I haven't had power all day. Gave me time to finish Anne Rice's The Mummy, though. There is some serious horror going on in that book about immortality. Lots of philosophical monologues about whether immortality is a curse or a blessing.

The problem with the case of immortality seen in The Mummy is that you can't switch it off. As long as you're exposed to sunlight, you regenerate your cells constantly and almost instantly. What's horrific about the immortality in that story is that the individual cells in his body "live" independent of each other. If you chop off his hand, his hand will continue to live, seemingly with a new will of its own, while his body will grow a new hand. Maybe the hand will grow a new body as well, though that doesn't happen in the story.

In the story, Ramses buys a mummified hand and brings it to life with the elixir he used on himself back in the days. The hand starts running around like Thing from The Addams Family and he decides to kill it... except he can't, because it's immortal. He ends up chopping it into little pieces, beating the crap out of it with a lamp and throwing it into the Nile. He then thinks back to his first experiments with the elixir when he was a pharaoh. He used it on some livestock and crops, thinking he'd solve hunger in his country. Unfortunately, as it turns out, you can't eat immortal meat. Yeah, the stuff can't be digested faster than it regenerates. He ended up with a case of horrifying deaths from people growing new crops and livestock in their stomachs. In the end, he has all the animals chopped up into pieces and sunk to the bottom of the Nile. But like he says... they're still alive. Chopped into pieces, but alive and aware. And they have been for 2000 years.

Now that's a crappy way to experience immortality if you ask me.

Party like it's 1099?

Grats Maz. I, on the other hand, failed to get into University, due to doing so sh*t in the entrance exam.
But, the good thing is that whether you fail or pass, you still get to have beer!

It's alright, now I have the chance to work one year more before studies and get some nice savings going so I won't have to live off of noodles for 4 years.

That song you linked earlier from that bad you saw live Aeth, the intro reminded me so much of Stranglehold by Ted Nugent.

Also cheaper booze than in Finland.

Well this. How much would you guys have to pay for 0.7l vodka?
My cousin was in Portugal not long ago, and he said thst wine was ridiculously cheap there, like 1-2 euros for a bottle.

"read" and "study" are the same in Finnish?

New glasses are weird. Narrower field of vision.

As for booze, I think they're increasing the prices per UK Unit or something? Like, setting a minimum price. I think it's 40p per unit which is equivalent to the alcohol content of one glass of wine or something...

You mean the finnish words? Nope.
Read is Lukea and Study is Opiskella.

Oh, yeah, I see it now. Well yeah, sometimes people here say ''lukea'' instead of ''opiskella'' when they mean studying.

Either my new glasses are sh*t (at least one pair definitely is) or my eyesight is declining. Actually, I think the eye test was bad...
