I'm very sad now Oppo

About damn near having a mental nuclear meltdown of feels. It's not related to the 944. I'm not sure if this is the place to share, but I've got no one else to talk to tonight.. :(

In short, I had an unnecessary fight with my dad tonight about mowing the lawn that I'd rather not go into details about, but words and insults were given from both sides. I was fuming for awhile now and trying to calm down; and just when I think I'm fine, the phone rings..

I try talking to the person on the phone but they can't hear me; it was a woman I didn't know. Then I hang up and my dad's cellphone rings next. 5 minutes goes by and I here talking but cannot make it out. He comes down to tell me that my brother's son has just died; he didn't even use "passed away", just straight up, he "died tonight"; he's not good at giving bad news so this isn't the first time. Mind you, my brother is a person I wasn't introduced to until I was 10; now I'm 18 and have only met him 3 times since. Never got to see the kid and he was just born not even a year ago... :(

Too many feels for me tonight, and I've got a final exam that I'm not ready for on Wednesday. I'm just so lost for thoughts right now, I was trying to study, now I just don't know what to do.

Could I have some 964 and 993 pictures, please help me out..

Really sorry about that. I definitely can relate on pointless fights with the old man..

I was in college when something similar happened to a member of my family. Interesting (read: TERRIBLE) things stemming from that happened and...well I'm not in college anymore.

You might not be ready for that exam, but at least this terrible thing that is happening doesn't mean the complete destruction of your educational opportunity like it did for me. Count your blessings.

This fight was just not suppose to happen. I just wanted to get some dinner quickly and he wanted me to mow the lawn because he thought I was giving an excuse. I get migraines when I don't eat and I still haven't eaten yet; this was 3 hours ago..But he just told me this sudden news 10 minutes ago and now I don't want to eat even more now.

Having fights with your parents is normal no matter how large they are! I am a pretty laid back person and I still get in fights with my parents over the dumbest things too, and we both knew it. After the fact we usually have a laugh and brush it over our shoulders.

I am sorry for your brother's loss and it is extremely hard to go through losing a child. Although, if you don't mind me asking, why don't you start to get to know your brother? It is never too late, and he could really use the help of a family member!

Dude, pop some earbuds in and listen to some good music. Dark Side is probably my favorite album for relaxing/de-stressing.

Then, take a long drive tomorrow once you're past the initial shock.

About the argument, I assume you love your father and he loves you. If that's the case, I'm sure you'll work out your differences before long.

Hope you're ok!

I don't know, we never have time to meet and talk, we're only about 5-hours away from each other and we never visit each other much. The most we do is that he sometimes calls me up and we chat, but it's still awkward for me for some reason.

I don't really have any music that'll help, most of what I've got is rather sadenning right now. I'm open to suggestions.

Drive, can do tomorrow.

Sometimes I'm not sure if he does. Usually he just forgets the fights and moves on in life, but I don't. I don't know if it's how he was raised, but it's not that simple or easy for me. It's worse because for the first time, I actually fired back at him with insults, and I feel like shit for doing so.

I just don't know how I am right now.

I'd order some pizza first. Not eating isn't gonna help you out man. You really gotta spend some time mourning. A few years ago my grandfather passed away (he doesn't live in the US) and I heard the news really late at night. I decided to go to school and work the next day and it was just a bad decision. I was out of it the whole day. Didn't get anything done in class, had a poor attitude at work, overall it was just a bad day. Would've just been better to stay home. Take your time to mourn. It'll be worth it in the end.

I'm not much of a pizza guy; after going to Italy and trying the "good stuff". I never got to know any of my grandparents(Two were out of the US and the other two passed way before I was born)...

I can't skip work either. They really need me and no one can fill in for me; I'm literally the only person for the job. I'm out of it now. At least it'll only be for an hour. there's never any time for me to take to myself these days.

I cannot afford to fail this class either.

Yeah I can understand that, me and my cousin have that sort of relationship, but we both know each other fairly well, despite not being able to have to great of conversation and he is still fun to hang out with him. I would say if you really feel lik you want to get to know him, do it! If not, no big deal, family is not always who you are related to.

Feelings (and life events) are like the tides. They roll in and then they recede. Occasionally, the moon will be a bit closer and make the tide seem really strong. Occasionally storms will roll into shore and make the tide seem never ending. Occasionally the earth itself will displace the ocean and move it into land, sweeping away all that it touches.

No one has the power to quell the tides, to protect themselves from the wrath of the waters. Conversely, the tides no matter their strength cannot happen eternally. Once they have come in, they must recede. You feel bad now, because bad things are happening. But they can't happen forever, and won't have eternally lasting consequences for you. You will survive.

It really sucks about your fight with your dad I have those kind of arguments over stupid little shit with my dad and every time they suck since no one leaves happy and it's over the smallest things. I know you're angry at your dad but you know the argument isn't worth the hurt feelings in this terrible time. Hope it works out and if you need nything else you now where to coe.

Here you go! Also, download Spotify — it's amazing.

Just lay back, listen, go to sleep. If you absolutely can't eat now, I think that's ok. Just eat like three bowls of cereal in the morning.

I think most fathers love their kids. It's just hard, generally, for men to express that.

And definitely take off work, if only for one day. It's important, but you've got to take care of yourself, first. I'm sure your employers will understand; if not, just call in sick. Shouldn't be to big of a deal, especially if you're like me and almost never miss work anyway.

But ultimately, it's your time of grieving, so do what you think is best for yourself and your family.

This probably isn't the time, but I just found out I'll be going to Italy next summer, suggest some places for me to go in a few days when you you are better.

Just get some good food in you. I wasn't too close with my grandparents because they didn't visit often, but seeing how distraught my mom was just killed me.

If you can't skip work maybe it'll be good, maybe it'll help get your mind clear.

Try to get a friend to study with you. Worst case scenario: you have to cram. Everyone's had to cram before.

Eat. Sleep. Mow the lawn first thing in the morning if it hasn't been done already. Then contact your professor, explain the situation, and see if you can get the final exam date changed.

I'm no good with breaking news to people either. The situation is probably more complicated than it's worth to explain, but I understand. I had a relative in a not all that different situation.

You'll be okay, you're 18. If you don't have the occasional argument with your parents, you're doing it wrong. You're family, and you'll all get through it.

No worries, I can suggest them now.

I've been to Cremona, wonderful small town with a nice big clock tower:

I've been to Rome, an absolute MUST when you go to Italy

And I went to Monteriggioni, where if you may or may not recall, they celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Miura(I wasn't there for that unfortunately). I bought a nice gift for my mom inside that shop where that knight statue is.

As for the death of your nephew, I am very sorry to hear about that, but I have very little experience with such situations and cannot give too much advice. But don't worry about venting on here. We may mostly keep it car-related, but we're people too, and getting emotional and wanting to vent it is natural.

Oh, in that case, I'll tell you I straight up got a D in pre-calc. No shame about it. Shit is just beyond me. Someone else on here might be able to help if you posted about it specifically.

But who needs pre-calc, honestly. I can balance my checkbook, I can do my taxes, and for a short while, I still had "engineer" in my job title. I might even get back into that.

If you get to a point where you're really good at what you do, you either hire someone to do the calc for you, or whoever you work for will. Don't get hung up on just one thing. Obviously, do the best you can, but know that in the grand scheme of things, it's unlikely to hold you back as long as you put yourself out there and do your best.

There's nothing standing between you and getting where you want to be other than yourself. I'm 5 years older than you, and have an absolutely disgusting resume (in a good way) because of the opportunities that I took chances on. You have that opportunity yourself, considering about 18 was where I really got the chance to start things off. But that's all a different story for a different day.

What's most important is that if an employer held pre-calc over your head as a reason to not hire you as an engineer, you shouldn't be working there anyway. You're just starting out anyway, you've barely gotten to any of the fun stuff like CAD and CNC work.

Yes!! No one in my family even has a hint of enthusiasm in them. If I wanna talk cars without leaving my house, I gotta get on Oppo :)

It would be awesome if one day there was a country wide Oppo meet. That would take an incredible amount of planning though..

Masturbate listen to hotel California by the eagles and drink some NyQuil (not necessarily in that order) you'll pass the hell out I promise. Yes I realize this is unorthodox and mildly NSFW but it works.
