there was a LOT of bud smoked Wednesday and Thursday LOL.
I Know myself. I know I lack patience for incompetence and going off and telling everyone involved how fucked up they are and what they can do with their heads and asses isn't going to do much other than make me feel better. The problem is I don't have an outlet anymore. With my back, I can't release my frustration on the heavy bag anymore, I can't workout until I am puking anymore and I don't have work to immerse myself into. I don't know how process this sort of frustration anymore cause I don't have the tools I used all my life to do it. Go to the gym, find another Marine whose got a little frustration pent up and throw on the headgear and gloves for about 20 minutes and I can promise you that any frustration you had takes a back seat to fatigue or pain. If that wasn't an option, go run about 5 miles in 35 min and you aren't nearly as frustrated as you were.
This lesson taught me I need to think about things a bit and figure out how to find an outlet for when I get this worked up.....at least until I can get the back fixed. And see, that brought up the whole other frustration for me. I made the choice not to have the procedure on the back until we got into the house because I know that while it might hurt to get everything packed up and ready, I can at least do it. I made that choice with the inputs that this was going to be a fairly quick close. If I would have known an offer made in August was going to take until almost December to get done, I would have had the fucking surgery by now. See...getting pissed off again thinking about it. All these decisions and points in our life getting jerked around by incompetent people who don't listen. Time to go smoke again. LOL
If anyone has any ideas for outlets, man I am all ears cause this situation taught me I can't go through stuff like this without a non-negative outlet.

Lol that'll work!
Let me see if I can track it down. I know I have a blueprint file somewhere. I'll shoot you a message when I find it.
Here's a few good ones. Similar to where I pulled a base drawing for the one I want to build.Let me see if I can track it down. I know I have a blueprint file somewhere. I'll shoot you a message when I find it.

I am the same way. The world is full of people that piss me off and it’s not acceptable for me to tell them that.
I use the PS4 or X1, smoke a huge joint, and have some snacks ready. I immerse myself into a game, kick some ass, and then feel a bit better. Spider-Man has been my game of choice lately, webbing motherfkers and kicking them in the face has been soothing...to an extent.
The other thing has been mental adjustment. We choose how we react. “It’s not the problem that’s the problem, it’s your attitude about the problem” - Capt. Jack Sparrow

I agree Urb...I have always believed there are very few things we control in this world but attitude and effort are the things we have the most control over. My attitude has been for shit and needs improving but without that outlet I need, its been tough.
I try to throw myself into my plants when I can, but its not doing it for me lately. Not much of video game player. LOL, I have a tablet that I play minecraft, boom beach, and Clash of clans, but thats about the extent of my video game playing and I don't do that often. I did do some minecrafting last night, just to try and find some mindless entertainment.

Congrats on the house Stanks! Moving sucks azz, but it's worth it in the end. Hopefully it will go smoothly now
I'm most looking forward to the move to the 10x10 tent, but the rest of the place will be good too
.Wonder how h00k knows that...
Nice link P! Wish I had room
.I know how you feel Van. I developed something called post exercise hypotention which makes exercise virtually impossible. I can't even stay in reasonable shape for my age. I never thought I'd want to work out until I couldn't any more. Very frustrating. Look forward and keep that surgery in mind. You'll come through the other side like a star! Step one is days from being done.

Glad to here the Stanks are moving forward with their new house. A couple of deep breaths in my office by myself does me wonders when I'm pissed at someone really bad at work. Just try to remember what you're try to get to in the end.
Hey bud do you have a gun range around? Maybe go shoot off a couple hundred rounds, that might help.
#alwayshelps
Or just watch "Dogs Of War" with Christapher Walkin and Tom Beringer! Best movie....makes ya feel good at the end! Ultimate revenge..'get back at them movie'....my #1 fav......

Unfortunately I live in Mass and they aren't the most fire arm friendly place around and thats putting it mildly. That was another of my outlets in past. Go shoot a few hundred rounds at a target or a few thousand on really bad days and your problems just sort of fade away. Great idea, but not real feasible where we are.
Now where we are moving to has a gun club right up the road, go figure! LOL
We had a couple more bouts of unluckiness this morning. Seems that Ms Stanks phone shit the bed and 30 minutes later, mine shit the bed. So now we have no cell phones and thats our means of communication with everyone involved in the home buying situation. FML Certainly didn't feel like having to replace two cell phones today.
Replacing phones is a pain in the ass. I hope things start going right for you soon. Are you guys staying in Mass? Their gun laws are about as bad as New Yorks lol. Such shit laws.
You could look into pilates and meditation. Smoke a bunch of herb and try to let your mind go blank.

Say the word Van and we're to the range 30 minutes or less from your place all the 9mm is on me if you don't mind reloads. Green light on the house is awesome!

Have a range on the property. Hop in the gator and 2 min. Later range is hot. That's lopin's stress reliever. One weekend she went thru 1600 rounds, old pots and pans, a few dozen of eggs and a few dozen targets I had. She felt better going back to school.
