    I'm sat here eating a bowl of broccoli and runner beans, and I'm thinking I'd probably rather just die younger.

    Should we come up with some kind of recruitment campaign to get more people in here? it seems to me that the last round of drama has thinned out the herd a little too much :(

    Does anyone else feel that way?

    What are your thoughts on long distance friends who don’t think email and text and chat are good enough forms of communication? Like they insist on scheduling phone calls to catch up.

    And they get pissed if you don’t want to talk on the phone.

    • so wait. you have a good mate who you don't want to talk to?hans_glib

    I don't know what it is but I'm curious if something's wrong with me. If maybe I'm having some brain or hormonal imbalances lately.

    I'm not depressed at all but I also can't get overly excited by anything that should make me happy.

    This week I'm on vacation at a nice part of the world, it's warm and sunny.

    I also made $20K in stock trading effortlessly these past few days.

    I'm almost indifferent.

    The same goes for when I see naked women or porn. I don't get aroused anymore at all seeing it.

    All this stuff has greatly aroused me in the past and gave me the kicks. Making a lot of money gave me nice testosterone boosts.

    What could be wrong with me?

    Adrenal fatigue? Dopamine deficiency or brain desensitised? Subconcious depression without really being depressed?

    • take a nap, relax, congrats on the stock, do things you enjoy, step out of your shellpockets

    What are you doing typically after work 'till bedtime? Personally, I have about 5 or 6 hours at home before going to bed. I'm curious about you, how much time do you have and what are you doing with it.

    • I personally will watch anywhere between 3 to 5 hours of tiger related on youtube.utopian
    • Get home around 6:15, help with kids' routines, playing, listening to music, dinner, their bedtimes at 7:30 and 8pm. Then usually dinner for my wife and I,mg33
    • sometimes together, sometimes with our kids, sometimes individually depending on who puts who to bedmg33
    • After kids are asleep and if I've not fallen asleep with either of them, I ride my Peloton on Tuesdays and Thursday nights, often not starting until 8:30.mg33
    • Then dinner, some TV, or going to bed around 10:30. M and W I try to edit photos, record music, etc after chores and stuff are done.mg33
    • Probably go to bed between 11:30 - midnight on a good night. Sometimes do work-work from 9 - 11 depending on what I need to get ahead on. Not often though.mg33
    • ^ I bet this guy has a spread sheet for his schedule. so organized...pango
    • i masturbate till i fall asleep.pango
    • having kids surely stack the schedule! I dont have any kids so I have a lot of time, and lately I'm getting bored, I dont know what to do.Bennn
    • Get home at 5:30 and immediately take over childcare from nanny or mother-in-law. Start prepping kid's dinner. Wife gets home at 6:30 and I start cooking dinnermonospaced
    • Eat with kid, but usually we feed him and then eat. Sometimes we get out of the apt f or walk/errand. Play until 8:30, start kid's bed/bath routine.monospaced
    • Alternate nights doing bath/bed with wife. Whomever is off cleans up the play and dinner aftermath. From 9:30-10:30 we might enjoy peace or watch a show.monospaced
    • Someone usually passes out from sheer exhaustion by 10:15. Then we make it to bed. Start over at 6am.monospaced
    • @Bennn, if you are craving a full schedule after work, just have a kid. You'll never have free time or be bored ever again.monospaced
    • yeah i guess :PBennn
    • Same routing as mg33 but no cycling. For last 6 months time is spent making decisions/purchases for house refurb. Once it's all done I hope to get backmicrokorg
    • into making music and a bit of exercise like running. Yup Bennn kids eat into lifes schedule big time lol.microkorg
    • Usually goes like this: Get home from the office, walk the dog, go to the gym, back to the computer with the TV on, walk dog again, go to bed around midnight.Maaku
    • I miss being bored. I crave it. I feel like I'll never be able to do nothing again sometimes. Tonight I'm going to a bar to get drunk while wife does kid. :)monospaced
    • 730 - get home
      8 - rest up, take a shit

    • Monospaced, do you bathe your child every night? What age? Man, we have an almost 2 year old and a 4 year old. They're lucky if the take a bath once a week. :Dmg33

    This week-end I will ride 2,700 km on a train through Europe. I carry only 5 kg of luggage with me and won't bring my camera. I realised that I get good ideas when my mind is empty. A monotone train ride works great for this.

    So, I booked myself a few trains and will be all by myself with a notebook (paper + pen), thinking about visuals that I want to create.

    It's the first time, I am trying such a trip. And I am a bit scared. Imagine, I come home Sunday night and did not have any good thoughts. Well, I doubt this will happen. So, everything's gonna be alright.

    Today I came across a homeless man/ street musician. He was probably in his 50's. I gave him €10 and he was so perplexed and full of joy, almost in tears. I would've given him more but I had to use the remaining money for groceries as I didn't have my wallet with me. But it made me really happy to see him so grateful. As he said it's not every day somebody gives him that much and it meant a lot to him.

    Sometimes it puts things in perspective. When we get unhappy in our lives and have everything and then there are people who have nothing and have to survive and get by each day.

    • You came over a homeless person and you gave them ten euro? wtf?Nairn
    • So what?NBQ00
    • If you can't see how that's not acceptable, there's no hope for you. SHAME.Nairn
    • Please enlighten me why not? Do you know the context of this situation?NBQ00

    Today I learned that Okilly Dokilly is the world's only Nedal band. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, a majority of the band's lyrics are direct Ned quotes.
    The bandmembers include Head Ned, Red Ned, Thread Ned, Stead Ned and Bled Ned.

    Thinking of quitting my agency job in 2 months and going self-employed again living a digital nomad lifestyle living off investing.

    I know we have great jobs and it's a luxury/ privileged thinking to be 'unhappy' but I'm really no longer passionate about the creative industry and especially not passionate about advertising.

    No matter how cool shit is out there on Vimeo or design blogs it leaves me cold and disinterested.

    And there's more to life than creating eye-candy stuff and the slave 9-to-6 office job makes me frustrated. It's unhealthy too to sit for such long hours at a desk.

    I know everybody has to work to pay the bills but she's got a point:

    I just signed up for Instagram and posted a few photos with hashtags and a few friends are following me but not many and I feel like a loser.

    How do people get 1000 followers? I don't know 1000 people.

    • What's your instagram?PhanLo
    • You expected 1000 people to start following you immediately? You can pay bots to follow you, if you're that fragile.i_monk
