CafeRace where have you been

Last time he posted on FB was 14September about the storm.
On 13Sep he posted about being bitten by a Dog in Cabo.

 

I for one will withhold judgement until Jim explains himself. Which he may never do. His perogative.

Jim and I were friends. I hope he's ok.

 

First time, it was just about a buddy going through a tough time needing a place to spent a couple of nights.

 

A slight exaggeration... In part inspired by you- I stopped drinking on dec. 29. I gave it 2 weeks...didn't really feel any better and was just plain bored. Going to try and avoid going back to drinking every day though- I know that's not sustainable. And I'm not that close to living on the street- I'm paycheck to paycheck with more debt than I'd like, but if I lost my job tomorrow (always a real possibility in Telecom) my retirement savings could hold me for a while.

I had no idea Jim's situation was really that bad, I hope he's ok.

 

Ok gotcha. Maintain as best you can.

 

Dude, at least give me the shakes, night sweats, or something else physical. You're gonna go back to drinking because you're bored? Fuck, I don't know you but come on, man. I'm sure we can find you something to do.

 

Dude, find something you've always wanted to try and give that a whirl. I'm not talking smoking crack but some stupid hobby that is cheap and wastes time and is fun. Try learning to fly fish. Try learning to row a single scull. Shit, fight midgets in an underground fight club.

Lots of cool shit to do instead of kissing the bottle.

 

Buy an iRacing setup and race assjuice and the others. that will keep you occupied.

 

It's been averaging 10 degrees here for a few weeks...a bit too cold to play in the garage. Planet Fitness is a mile away, but I just can't muster the motivation to go (I have a membership, and I just fucking hate the atmosphere). It just feels like I'm in a holding pattern...waiting for spring, waiting for loans to be paid off in the next few years... wondering if my body will hold up long enough to have fun once I'm not broke...

I'll be ok.

 

There is an electric cart place that has league nights... I went once, but sadly don't have the mad skillz of you-know-who to cover the costs. I doubt that iRacing crap is cheap, and there's the fact that I don't have a computer or internet connection at home.

 

Meet me over in the Jiu Jitsu thread. I have an idea.

Seriously, try it. Life changer for a lot of people. If it doesn't take, no harm done...

 

ummm....knitting. Knit a WERA Beeb blanket. There has to be something else. Coloring books, punch yourself in the face, have someone else punch you in the face. Something else to occupy the waking moments.

 

Break the pattern, start some new patterns, constructive behavior that occupies your mind. Working out is good, bust out of your comfort zone, the only way to progress and become better is through change.

 

Hey look Jbraun was thinking the same about someone else punching you in the face

 

How about a pet, do you have a dog?
A dog will get you up and out.
Get a pit bull.

 

How old are you? And Spring will never come and change how you feel. There will always be loans and debt. I'm not saying this to be a dick but choose what you want with your life, in the end of the day you get out what you put in, and the only person in the world that will feel sorry for you is yourself and your mom.

 

Buy a harmonica...cheap and occupies time.

 

Nah, then you start playing the blues and get depressed again.

 

Hows your vitamin D uptake? Helps with mood during the winter months when the sun isnt high in the sky.

Kaz is the medicine man here. He can elaborate more. @SPL170db
