I regularly drive on surface streets to avoid highway damage to my vehicles (except my motorcycle). Recently there has been construction along my regular route, so I took the highway out of convenience. A quick pic I snapped for prosperity once I exited...

Update on the 4:30 AM routine:
It's only been 5 days but I was able to wake up each morning between 4:35 and 5:15
Working out in the morning feels better and I don't think I will go to the gym in the evening anymore, it rendered me useless afterward.
The days I didn't workout was dedicated to side projects or polishing a skill.I'll use the weekends to get the full 8 hours of sleep until the habit kicks in.
@notype, my life hasn't changed but I feel the benefits already :)

I walk to and from work, but sometimes if I'm in a rush or feeling lazy or in need of reward, I'll get the bus back. It shaves off 10 mins time on a 45 minute jounrey and is easier, so sometimes feels worth it.
Last night was such a night in need of minor reward, so I got on to a packed bus, sat down and in an entirely self-worthy fashion, offered up my seat to two women — one young with a suitcase, the other older and looking in need of a seat — who chose instead to stand, they were getting off in two stops.
All good. I am conscious, decent human being.
First stop goes by and then a minute or so later, the next comes along.
People spill out and from upstairs walks down a young woman with a backpack and behind, some guy.
As they walk in front of me a metre in before the middle door, I see the guy reach into the open pocket of the girl's backpack and pull a pair of red headpones. Immediately I realise he's fishing to see what's on the other end — an iPhone, perhaps?
Milliseconds pass as I process what I've just witnessed.
The doors begin to close, and I jump up and shout to the driver to open the doors, bustling past people in the way and exiting quickly, shouting "OY, YOU..!" down the street.
I run down the street and shout "OY, you just took those red headphones out of that girl's bag!" and confront the guy who'd just left.
A small crowd gathers, some from the bus, which by this point is setting off.
I tell him what I've just witnessed, then perplexed as to how I can prove anything, demand he take out his phone, or whatever it was he had to plug into, as some proof of ... I have no fucking clue.
The crowd draws close, sensing outrage they can engage with and have a say in.
The guy stammers, responding in an entirely middle class and utterly innocent fashion that he's not stolen anything — ‘his headphones became caught in the girl in front's bag and he was only pulling them off’.
At this point I have no idea how to interpet what I witnessed, and absolutely no proof of anything.
The crowd glowers.
I make my apologies, forcefully and awkwardly shake the guy's hand, muttering apologies, and then walk away.
What I should've done is gone after the girl and asked her if she had a pair of red headphones; Then if things were off, asked her to wait and then ran after the other guy.
As it was, all I did was waste £1.50 on a bus journey to take me two short stops, then make a total tit of myself.
I am a twat.
.
Or am I?
The more I played it back, the more I thought the cunt was guilty.
But, too late, too badly played.
I am a twat.
- haha. could have been worse. what did the crowd do when it fizzled out?Fax_Benson
- You tried to do the right thing, better that than nothing.zarkonite
- You going to answer my email or what?hans_glib
- zarkonite is right, you've done the right thing, I don't see this like a tawt's "procedure"OBBTKN

- Don't search for too much meaning in this. Keep walking :)notype
- It's a tough judgement to make, you did the right thing, besides.. red headphones? you mean Beats? They're shite anyway...shapesalad
- You're a twat maybe in your head... but you were just being a good guy cuz you saw something 'off' and tried to help. You have my respect, dude. <3PonyBoy

A man died on a plane next to my boyfriend today. The guy started sweating, them squirming, asked to get up for the bathroom, and when my bf got up, he fell into my boyfriend's chair. My bf carried him to the aisle and asked for doctors on the plane. The guy's heart rate dropped quickly, then stopped. He was out for the last 10 minutes of the flight. He doesn't know if he was resuscitated. I told him, the man is definitely dead. That long without a heart beat and even if they were forcing air, i find it quite unlikely the man would have survived to the hospital. My boyfriend is shook.
- Why does more crazy shit happen around you in a year than most people in their entire life? Wow.monospaced
- And there’s a chance he survives. I think.monospaced

Single again for the first time in a long time. I'm totally petrified of what dating has become now. I've been tied up for 12 years.

So deeply sad right now. I miss my now ex-boyfriend so much. He wouldn't end it and i felt more and more that I wasn't getting what I needed so I cut the chord. He hasn't been there for me and I heard a few things from mutual friends recently that kinda pushed me over the edge. But I also i feel panicked that he's not going to be there anymore. I woke up in the middle of the night wishing I could take it all back but i really shouldn't.
Things had been broken between us for a while and I was just hanging on. But I can't just possess someone and call that love. Love takes more work, it isn't just having someone and attachment. But, I feel totally lost at the moment. If i could just hug him one more time... The last time we saw each other, I cried and cried because deep down I kind of knew it'd be the last time we'd see each other. the depth of my sorry is nothing I've ever felt before.

- It's shit and there is no heads up. Better let emotions have you until it's over instead of hiding it from yourself. Lovesickness is totally okay :-)mekk
- I went through some shitty days after my breakup. The tendency to want to cling on to *something* so we're not just floating in the ether is real.Gucci
- The thing about that is...it's also a lie. That nagging feeling you had, is the one you'll be thanking yourself for listening to when life is back on track.Gucci
- Take time to allow yourself to mourn and feel shitty for today. Maybe tomorrow too, but that's it. Chin up for better days.Gucci
- Sorry to hear. Just grind through this next little bit. As tough as it may seem right now, you know you've done the right thing.desmo
- thanks for letting me vent, guys. I'm really stressed out.shellie
- we've been hanging around here a long, long time now. You have always struck me as one of the strongest voices, and one of the strongest souls here.exador1
- Like all the rest of the gang here, I know you're hurting right now. but tomorrow, it'll be just a tiny bit less. And the day after that, a bit less againexador1
- Always keep in mind the reasons for taking this step. It wasn't out of the blue. You had a REASON :) ...so don't second guess yourself.exador1
- Doing the right thing often hurts. but you still know it was the right thing. You're gonna be ok. Just take your time. Heal...exador1

- The hurt is from the IDEA you had of that person not the actual person. Trust me I'm going through my fair share of it right now.GM278
- But things end for a reason and when you are ready and available you'll meet someone even better.GM278
- my last year and a half has been like this shellie...I live in the same project as my ex. that's makes it really difficultoey

- I miss her a lot. and sometimes we hug and I feel peace. I love her somehow but I cano not imagine having a relationship. and I don't feel attracted to her.oey
- (Also you have a sick bug to work on, pop them valve covers off, grab a 13mm wrench and .006" feeler gauge and get to work - cheaper than therapy) :PGM278
- I'm sure I'll never have something so sweet like we had but I really feel attracted to other people.oey
- and found out I feel better with myself if there's nobody with expectations or something.oey
- out of respect for the place we live I really don't have a life, like meeting people, bringing people home, having relationships.oey
- I know it would totally hurt her and I0ve hurt her too much already. I feel sad, lonely, melancholic but I produce more. still it's not healthy.oey
- it would be so simple to be in love with her like it was in the beginning but I realized that I put other people before me.oey
- and some take things for granted. sorry...I was now in my own trip.oey
- I just want to let you to know that I understand what you mean with the hugging and hanging..and i wish you better times.oey
- one really has to take care of him/her self and put themselves first. what one feels and wants. if you can do it by not hurting someone else perfect.oey
- if you hurt someone or feel hurt about these decisions, what matters is honesty to yourself and to your partner.oey
- it might hurt but that's what's really respect. hope you find your way. don't do crazy things like being irresponsible but be crazy and enjoy your time.oey
- *sigh* I tried to pull him up with me but he was really weighing me down. He hurt me really bad, and i just couldn't take it anymore. Once we broke up peopleshellie
- told me a lot more stuff that kinda kept me from sliding back into his arms. I can't be with someone who lies to me. there's no excuse.shellie
- Love and trust go hand in hand and you can't build anything on lies. Anyone that isn't igniting your fire is only putting it out, kiddo.GM278
- So sorry shell. fuck all that, you deserve better.sea_sea
- Not only do you deserve better, but sounds like you know what you don't want. No worse pain than heartbreak I here you girl. For what it's worth, we're here. <3sea_sea
- I also applaud you for having the strength to break it off. Shows character and it takes courage to make those moves. You got this.sea_sea
