I’m drunk. It’s been an, uh, interesting couple of weeks. I left one job, started another, now I’m leaving that job to go back to the other job (for a lot more money), broke up with the GF, gained about 17 pounds and now I’m drinking my dinner to deal with all the ups and downs over the last several weeks. AMA? AMA.

For your time, a Hyper Blue Camaro because I want one.

What kind of work did you leave/go to/leave/go to again?

I was in car sales at a local Chevrolet dealership. Among other things. I did sales, tech support, vehicle training, pictures, internet and marketing. It was fun. I attempted CAD Drafting and design. I loved it. But I am pretty loyal to the Chevy folks and more money isn’t bad. Especially when it’s a mile from my house.

Literally sitting at my house, with the dog, doing a whole lot of nothing. I only do safe. Most days, that’s a good thing.

Not sure about the exclamation points! But they keep happening! What are you drinking?

You’re right. It’s more like cooking has been a pain in the ass and I haven’t had time so I ate out. A lot. And made poor choices while doing so. Boring. I know.

We've (mostly) all been there. I usually motivate myself with anger

That will happen tomorrow. Hopefully. I’m hoping that will happen. If not, I’ll find some angry music and rock on.

I was at the track all day, thoroughly exhausted myself and came home and had a few drinks and took a shower. Now I’m at work until 5am. Kill me.

Stay safe, bro. You may need a laxative cleanse this weekend.

Track. Drinks. Work. No sleep? What is this life?

Not going anywhere. Laxative clense? That sounds, uh, un-fun?

Tomorrow is a dangerous drug

Wholeheartedly agree. But I have veggies. And fruits. And meat. And I will cook it. Finally. And I’m excited about it. Though, not right now. Right now? It’s Jack Daniels time.

If you upset your digestion enough to gain 17 lbs, you could be at risk for intestinal badness. This has happened to me on travel at times, it could lead to some seriously uncomfortable days. But you might be fine and that would be awesome.

I was 188 June 18th ish. So two months later I’m 205. I think it’s a lot of water weight (lots of sodium based stuff) but still. I just need to get back on track with healthy choices. And riding the bike

I guess these are some of the perks of being young. A life of revelry and exhaustion.

How young are we talking? I’m 30 and a big meal puts me out.

Oh just the typical college water beer, not by choice

Oh,. You made it sound like 17 lbs in 2 weeks. I was worried!

Damn, I did not intend that. No, but still bad. Up is bad. I feel bad. I want to be lighter. Healthier. More energetic.

23 :D Although I could definitely go for a big meal and bed before 10...

Holy crap! Haha. I’m impressed. Honestly. I look at food and gain weight. And uncomfrotable-ness. Haha.

Oh I love food. The only reason I workout is so that I can eat more food.

Why did you breakup with the gf?

Hooker > E92M3 08/20/2016 at 21:55

That’s a long story. Mostly, we weren’t going to be long term compatible. I knew it. She knew it. Prolonging it wasn’t going to make it better or easier. It was upsetting because there’s a lot we did well together and we will always love each other but there are some big things (kids etc) that we have different plans on. She wants, I don’t.

Well I don’t blame you for that. I love my son more than anything in the world. The first couple of years I thought one simply could not get the full “life experience” without being a parent. Then my wife decided she would go outside the marriage, with no consideration to the other mans family, nor her OWN child. She’s a horrible mother in so many ways outside of the adultery. She’s taken away his innocence and worry free life that he had before. It’s all taken a toll on him, and completely changed him into a different child. Between that, and everything else going on in this world I feel quilty for bringing a child into it.

It was a nightmare to go from spending everyday with my son, to no longer being able too. But nothing, and I mean NOTHING is worse than having no control of who your kid is around when it’s not your week.

Dude, I am so sorry. But it sounds like your (please tell me, ex) wife stole all that from you and him. Why, tell me, do you not see him as much? She should have minimal (if any) rights. Fuck her.

Wait, I’m sorry. I’m being mean. But her mistakes are not your fault. Bringing him into this world is your single greatest accomplishment and making sure he’s OK and grows up to to be man you are is paramount. I’m reasonably certain (and I don’t know you but I get a good feeling) that that kid is so fortunate to have you in his life.

Sorry again, feeling ranty.

Thanks man. We are in the middle of divorce now, and I was fortunate to get shared custody (50/50) until it’s finalized. The 50% he isn’t here kills me though, and there’s little I can do about. All I can do is continue to document her lack of being an ideal parent, and fight for primary custody. I could write a book on that subject, but the short version is she’s 40, going on 20. I could careless what she does on her time at this point, but when she brings questionable people around my kid that make him uncomfortable...I have a BIG problem with that.

As wel you should man. It will all work out and your son will see you for the parent and the roll model you are and will hopefully see her for who she is.
