just found out that my best friend and lover is probably moving to a part of town that's really hard for me to get to in november. it's been a godsend to be able to just ride my bike over to his house in 15 minutes when i don't want to be alone. i live way the hell out on the edge of town, pretty much opposite everyone else i know and it takes at least an hour to get to their places.

i also had what i think was a full-blown panic attack today. shit is not cool, man. rage is so much easier to deal with and nowhere near as embarrassing.

Man, I know, that air show crash...why in the world are there still air shows, anyway? I'm not going to research it, but isn't the amount of planes crashing at air shows unbelievably high? I'm not expressing that quite right but you know what I mean.

what i do not comprehend is how is he a hero

"I don't mean this as a disrespect to others injured, but that pilot is a hero. He saved a lot of lives today. It could have been much worse."

really?

Air shows are a means, on the surface, to recruit people into the military service and to showcase for the public what their tax dollars bring. Below the surface, and this is my opinion, it's to grab even more public money through concessionaires and other vendors can sell items/food at markup. It's a huge logistical tap dance, it's expensive as hell to put on and all the effort is for things that aren't readily transparent. I have to work them wherever I am stationed, and don't much like them. They aren't inherently dangerous, except for some acts that get hired. The amount of planes crashing at air shows is low, pretty much on par with training. It's just that you add the element of lots of people in a concentrated area that add to the risk factors.

he isn't, really. but he was going to hit the stands and managed to avoid them - at the cost of hitting the box seats and killing far less people. you can't actually know that he was trying to minimize the damage - i'm sure he was just trying to avoid hitting anybody period and lost control. it's too bad really. must have been traumatizing for all the children.

And for fuck's sake, it happened again:

As per usual, another hard working 4 days left till that moment where I can explore freedom for the weekend.

I think I'm due for a nice and long holiday .

Highly recommended!

I wish I could stop being such a hopeless romantic. Ruins everything.

It's frustrating. Honestly, you just need to look for someone that's "the same kind of crazy" because if you're pursuing something that isn't there, you're just looking at an idealistic version of a relationship without actually seeing anything that's truly there.

allow me to be the voice of experience, the one thing one should never do when it comes to relationships and all that junk is idealizing the relationship itself and the other person, nothing good ever comes out of it.

i had to hit rock bottom to realise that if anything has to happen, it will happen. i was a hopeless romantic too some years ago, now im a hopeless cynical hater, but at least i found my better half :3

I don't want to be a hopeless cynical hater, I just want to.. Have some luck, for a change I'm an optimist, so it just stings a little more when things don't go my way.

It's probably a good thing I only see my girlfriend a few times a month, and we just go with whatever feels right. It took a long time for me to say anything of the three word variety, but same with her, and we've been together over a year now.
Much better than my last relationship which lasted a month, with constant exposure and romantic idealism. It ended badly. Just as well, she was a bitch anyway. That's not a bitter dismissal, most people agree.

I'm feeling super overwhelmed by the people who honestly mean the most to me. I've tried to keep up with them, but I just don't have that kind of energy. I just need a break.

I also feel a tad bit overwhelming to others. Sorry if I've been a bit annoying lately, guys!

I wasted most of my life trying to please others. What about Wosko? (Refering to my online handle as myself in third person= win) It hit me all at once and I really stopped caring the last little bit

Just keep being who you are and feeling how you feel. Good things will happen if you are honest with yourself. I firmly believe that. It may take time for the right person to come into your life, but it is so much more worth it when it is the right person.
