[Collapse= why my apex was bull****]8 am on sunday
wake up in the old venue
find out that my flight that night direct to minneapolis saint paul is cancelled
my 6 monday classes (two of which are tests that day) > the pool I wont make it out of, so I have to get an earlier flight out of philly and burn the better half of this whole trip
plan what I think is going to be my trip home (epic foreshadowing)
leave to go get on a bus at 9
the bus drives past its stop gg
pay a cab to drive me 5 minutes to the train station the bus was going to take me to
it costs $50 hello
took that train to newark penn station
whoops a ****load of lines are closed
transfer to a line to some ****jersey town I don't remember
transfer again to get to philly 30th street station (which by the way is cool as ****)
but wait, it wasn't cool at all because the train heading out of it to the airport was 45 minutes behind schedule
but wait, it was cool because I met the most confused asian guy ever:
he was eating mcdonalds, listening to opera music extremely loud, wearing a pink frat polo with a plastic fork in the pocket, and when I went to sit down next to him he stood up, bowed and put out his hand for me to shake it, and said "merry christmas."
weaboos: this is you
anyway, finally get there, take the airport tram to the right concourse and show up 10 minutes late
wouldn't've mattered anyway though because they oversold the flight gg
no flights to chicago or msp for the rest of the day
get sent to dallas before the storm hits
can't get a seat on any flights to msp/chicago
all hotels in the area <$60 a night are booked
go to sleep around 2 in a plastic chair to the sounds of loudass floor cleaners and TVs talking about ebola again or something that can't be turned off by appropriate means

6 on monday
wake up with my backpack missing which is interesting considering I fell asleep with it in my lap
try to get up and find out my legs are numb
fall on the floor and flop around looking drunk as hell in front of a bunch of staring people who probably listen to toby keith for fun
legs wake up and I find my backpack at the lost and found (the most unexpectedly easy part of this whole trip)
flight at 830 to msp
lol nope
get rolled over to the 1045
we taxi out and the captain's like "lol engines fug'd. we're heading back to the gate and you can leave but we won't let you back on kek"
at 1 we get told we're getting a new plane and that sitting there for 2 hours was a waste of time
could've been filling our faces with ez food and lounging in decent chairs
so I walk to the new gate
"jk we're using this one go back to your old gate"
walk back
it's late
finally get on this one at 230
land in msp and take a bus to my dorm
arrive at 6pm

I dunno. The post you just made was pretty edgy 'cause you basically just said, "F*** you guys. Do your own math." ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

disproving indeterminism
So I just created a twitter and I'm not really sure how to work it and when to tweet but supposedly it's integral to growing the scene so if anyone wants to twitter me its http://twitter.com/ssbshears

The idea of being twittered makes me laugh "twitter me timbers" "twitter me xerxes"

Just in case anyone's wondering, since I haven't posted in a while, I may be retiring permanently due to a health condition. I can barely look at screens, and can barely read a page or more without discmofort in my brain and nerves. I think it's some sort of brain and nerve damage, but the doctors just say it's anxiety or adrenal fatigue, which I don't believe, since their treatments havne't helped at all. I really loved this game and it sucks that this illness is forcing me to retire, rrather rthan of my own choice. If you have any ideas, plz email me: matt.gamelo@gmail.com

trying to see a neurologist next

I'm sorry to hear about that ;/ . Great idea about seeing a neurologist. Imo, it's much better to see a specialist rather than a regular doctor. One thing you might want to look into is the Bates method. I know it's more for improving vision, but it's also about reducing strain and other things. Do you wear glasses?

The problem with the neurological system is that diseases affecting it vary case by case. This is especially the case of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease. Seeing a specialist is 100% the right decision, B Link.

Thanks for the support guys. I do not really think it is an eye problem but I will give them a try anyway. I think this cuz of my other symptoms I haven't mentioned yet (e.g. I can't have too much sugar/fruits even though docs say I'm not diabetic, thinking too hard also strains me, I can't exercise even remotely intensely, etc.). Plus, my optometrist didn't say anyhting though. I really appreciate the support though.

I have been suffering since last September. (and anxiety since last april)Glasses might make it easier to look at screens though (I currently am wearing two sunglasses over each other just to type this message, and it still feels bad, lol). Thanks to some of you for supporting my idea to see a specialist. Interesting to knwo that it varies case to case, I thought that much... I decided to schedule a neurologist after seeing a regular doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and naturopath with no improvement after 5 months...

yo so i got the most ****ing crazy story
not that crazy

so i was in school and i was bored and started opening all the lockers in the band room
i found a computer/monitor thing, keyboard, mouse, ethernet cable
i stole the ethernet cable and smuggled it in my guitar case
that computer is like windows xp


im tempted to take the whole thing
but how would i fit it in my case?

tell me some ideas on this, free PC

nobody even uses that PC anymore so **** you nobody even owns it so not even stealing gg



(btw the ethernet cabe is like really long, goes down to my router downstairs to my room upstairs holy ****)
