donald trump is Bad but many people think he is Good. I
think this is Bad. Not good!

i took any electronic devices out of the bedroom so im not
tempted to fiddle around when i should be asleep. Also start
getting up as early as you can then you will be extra tired
about the right time, trouble is i get up so early im tired
all day

I'll have to get tea in early this evening, i was in tescos
last night right and i had subconsciously put a lasagne in
the basket and i was winding my way through the aisles and
it suddenly dawned on me i should probably eat healthy so i
went and had a salad for tea and put the lasange back, that
was the highlight of my week so far

very good alexi moment

I used to need sugar in my tea and milk.

the reason is normal tea tastes like **** its yak and dry
bitter. its cheap and crap.

try twinnings nettle and mint instead.

no need for milk or sugar.

try clipper nettle
(but dont try clipper nettle and mint...its like drinking
XXX strong mints. yak.)

buy a selection of Pukka teas ... Pukka is great about 14p a
cup a tea.

there are loads of great ones.

im loving nettle at the mome.

yes block out all light.

but make sure you have air.

I installed a 140mm computer fan in my door at low Rpm so i
can have dark but with air.!!!!

drink non caffeine tea

and at flake said...remove any electronics.

Thanks for the advice, guys, but nothing I've not tried.
It's usually just a few days every months. Some cycle I'm
unaware of.

Well, Signeduptolol, I was alone. The wife was at her
dad's.

We've been at it just fine, yes, thank you very much!

So basically drinking Red Bull, under neons while playing
computer games in a room with no air wasn't helping, lads?

Indeed, she's spending her honeymoon with her dad. Silly
Dan.

As for sex, we stopped the moment she said "yes". (Lol)

Hyperflake, I'm not playing any games ATM. Once in a while
I'll play something on the iPad. I have a Wii U...

I also have a Wii U. If you're going console, it seems to
make the most sense. It has been gathering dust for a while
now but I turn it on every so often for a quick round of
Mario Kart.

My gf is being stubborn and won't let me smoke a joint, so
it's going to be one of those nights....

how suitable this thread is here today!

last night was a solid eight hours of tossing and turning,
being too hot or too cold (my undershirt was soaked in
sweat). telling myself to stop talking to myself countless
times. @6:30am, the crows decided to be particularly loud.
exhausted, frustrated, soaked in sweat, knots in my neck and
back, can't lie still, and CAW CAW

yes, let's get the fuck out of the house before i start
screaming and bother my roommates. the crows are even louder
outside. supress the urge to scream. go out for a drive. a
cop promptly pulls me over.

this was a bit much for me. i sat there in a heap, dejected,
and waited for my ticket. i think he sensed the air of an
animal that had crawled into a hole to die, because he gave
me a warning.

should i feel good about not getting a ticket, or bad about
getting pulled over? should i have started screaming at the
crows on the porch instead of getting in my car? should i
have stayed in bed and screamed there, because, like, fuck
this shit, none of it works, why try?

i really don't know. it sucks. i am trying to live a
righteous life, for lack of a better term, and i really
don't fucking know what, if anything, i should have done
differently. perhaps there is nothing. perhaps i'm fucked,
and i have to eat a shit sandwich somehow, and all i get is
a choice of goopy or chunky.

then there's the long-game, which is also full of
non-answers: i've quit drinking entirely. i limit my
caffeine to a mug of coffee a day. i exercise like crazy.
can i get some results, please?

carefully data mining the aftermath of a thousand other days
like this gives me strategies to avoid making a mess, but
i'm roboticly following conclusions i came to when i wasn't
in the mood to set puppies on fire.

things should be better when i can get some more weed. weed
is something i used to yell at myself for: stop wasting time
and money! get yourself together before goofing off! i no
longer consider it goofing off, or a waste of time/money.

conclusio
