Or, tonight’s cause for why my self-hatred could fuel Las Vegas for a thousand years.

So, tonight I decided to finally use the gym membership I’ve been paying for and ignoring for longer than I care to recall. I had the headphones, the Couch to 5K app on my Note 2, I was ready to do this. Time to work on not being a fatass.

3 minutes before the end of the first 30 minute session, I caught my headphones cable with my hand because I’m a clumsy fucking idiot. Pulls the phone off the shelf onto the treadmill, which launches it at 8mph into a piece of weightlifting equipment.

Screen’s fucked - shattered the digitizer and the LCD. Touch screen is completely non-responsive, and 90% of the times I try it won’t even turn on.

I checked eBay, and the LCD and digitizer runs about $95. Which is what I paid for the phone. Not that I can find any at that price now - U.S. Cellular is CDMA, so you don’t have a plethora of cheap unlocked phones.

Then I checked my bank account.

Kinja'd!!!

I guess I’m not allowed to have nice things.

So I’ve got to go from my Note 2 (2GB RAM, 16GB storage) to my old Axiom (800MB RAM, 2GB storage).

God fucking damnit, I hate myself so much.

I know that feel.

But unless you have a time machine so you can go back and keep from doing it, be kind to yourself and give yourself a break. It's a drag, it sucks, but life is too short.

That sucks.

For that price source an unlocked generic Android CDMA phone from China.

I feel like my whole summer has been like that. Something's gotta turn around eventually, right?

Everything can’t suck forever. It just feels like it can.

Today goes on the “sucks” list too. Pretty sure Enterprise is gonna blacklist me soon, got rear-ended in a rental today. And the LAST time I rented from them at SLC, my car was a hit and run victim with the driver's side mirror knocked off. Which my company might make me pay for. FML.
