How you holding up Jow Forums?

>bored with life

What part Cali? Let's go hang out I know a cool spot in the woods where we can shoot some shit. On Saturday of course. Also don't bring your 80%er I got the gats and ammo covered
>I'm not a skin walker don't worry about it

getting fucking hammered off $12 a bottle vodka and occasionally chatting with close friends who live hundreds of miles away I haven't seen in years on facebook messenger.

my best friends birthday was yesterday and I haven't talked to him in 2+ years. I've known him since I was one year old and gotten into a car accident and almost got a DUI twice hanging out with him. Also the first time I ever did coke was with him and several drug dealers who didn't speak english and died 2 weeks later in a plane crash somewhere over the gulf of mexico.

so ok...

What hobby? I like hiking but it’s too hot right now. School is about to be shit.

Well, my birthday was terrible and my life is not much better. I have a stubborn mindset of wanting to join the military but I have so many issues that makes unfit.

This.

W-wat is your friend dead that had a lot going on. Don’t get too caught up in singular friendships my best friend from kindergarten is currently doing crack in a trailer park. No joke like I visited home and he thought I’d be down to smoke crack because we did coke back in the day. It’s sad but some people don’t grow up.

I’m Colorado.
You cali anons got the worst state but the most meetups. I envy your friend cup overflowing. Every gun guy I meet is either too serious or dangerously new.

Sad. Wife miscarried twins in the 1st trimester. Shit sucks.

Hobby recommendations welcome. I need some new cool ones. Thinking of starting a small business to throw myself in.

>that makes me unfit*
I was even desperate enough to join the fight against the Islamic State just to have something to do with my life. Might find some other conflict to join just to do something with my life.

Guys the void calls me several times a day. It's freaking me out what do I do?

Just tired. I work in IT and we've always had a lot of things to do because the CEO has "Bright" ideas but no care for how to implement it or no care for the infrastructure behind it. Now, my dept. boss a man that I actually liked had a stroke and instead of calling 911 to send him to the hospital my Admin dept. decided to call the man's wife for her to take him at his insistence...only for him to die en route. The other guy in my dept. had a family emergency yesterday because his ex did not want their kid to use her health insurance. So the kid now is in the hospital with pneumonia, a collapsed lung and was not responding to treatment as of this morning. Now I'm working overtime waiting for my coworker to return and my CEO to find a replacement which may take a few more months...since the CEO hasn't even broached the idea of getting a replacement with the board. The damn Mormon is probably going to wait until someone from his church becomes available or a personal friend.

Well I tried. Don't become a statistic bro, hang on. We all have our challenges and trust me it can get better.

Sorry that happened to you

Would they have been your first?

Good:
>Closing on house
>Job going well
>Getting back into Gym

Bad:
>broke up with GF who loves me because of some extremely petty stuff
>broke my PEQ15 and insight wont work on "surplus" equipment
>Stalled on gun projects because of house
>Moving away from my irl friends
>Few online friends left
>Traveling overseas for next 3mo

ww2 reenacting. literally the most criminally underrated hobby on Jow Forums. purchase a shitton of surplus or reproduction uniforms and gear, go spend the weekend camping or in "barracks" with friends drinking and being merry. the best part of the whole thing is that almost no events are actually put on shows for the public kind of things. they are purely wargame tactical events. imagine airsoft, except its with real equipment, blanks, and 200 or so guys on each side with fausts, bazookas, grenade launchers, StuGS, half tracks, stuarts jeeps kubelwagens and motorcycles. its literally the most dope thing ever. let me dig up some pics [spoiler] OP pic is a reenactor [/spoiler]

He's alive and doing about as well as an international traveling blue collar fiberglass/welder/diesel mechanic can do, but the state we grew up in is such a soul sucking drug ruddled shithole. It honestly feels terrible that your best friend is a mutually caustic influence on your life. The same thing happened to my father, where I saw him break down and start crying over his best friends grave 30 years after he died.

I care too much about what other people think

advice?

Absolutely fantastic! The last couple of weeks were full of fun roadtrips and now I've got a really nice HK USP Expert coming in to my LGS. Next up is finding a nice shotgat.

Sounds like you should seek employment elsewhere.
I'm doing ok, most of my close friends are "camping" (getting drunk in an a/c trailer by some Petro puddle of a lake) and my younger brother is leaving for und for flight tomorrow so I'm kinda meh

dont apologize for anything, dont explain your actions. you get one shot at life, why the ever living fuck would you be content to be normal and live like everybody else?

Not OP but it's a struggle

Keep it up bro, we believe in you

Just hang on you'll be ok

Unironically listen to it and see why you're feeling this way.

Work sucks bro.
Win some lose some.

Pretty good. I'm doing a lot of volunteering and research work with school. The ultimate goal is medical school, and I'm doing a lot better than I thought I'd be at this point. I'm in the market for a .223 bolt action with a 20"heavy barrel. Right now I'm leaning toward the Tikka t3x tactical, does anyone have any other good (ideally less expensive) options? I can afford the Tikka, but I'd rather save the money if possible.

Yeah I feel that we came from a area that I never wanted to see him get stuck in. It sucks because he’s a genuinely smart guy but these last times I’ve visited that seems gone. I don’t get how he’s content living so rough knowing he’s got a brain unlike most.

Find and do things you enjoy and that gives you self-confidence.

Do it, social media is cancer. I gave up on it two years ago and that decision was one of the best I've made

Don't take life too seriously, no one makes it out alive.

I have this problem too. It has its goods and its bads. Good is I keep my beard and hair nice and do my best to get clothes I think look good. The bad is going over social fuckups and stressing about who likes you. The older I get the more I realize that there’s only a certain part of the population I really click with and the rest I should just try to keep on a even keel while not taking any shit.

I bet it is. I like having it for new people I meet and the small things but seeing so many people I know put on heirs is such bullshit. I feel like I’ll get labeled a outcast autist by family for it but I really get 0 enjoyment out of social media.

It's a mix of bad and good right now.
Just got a new job, my new degree path is progressing along nicely, and hopefully I'm not too far off from another great car, although a digital dash GTA Trans Am is pretty elusive.
On the other hand my dog has some re-occurring infection that has flared up again and I'm very much a worrier, so I just feel like shit. Vet can't pin it down, the biopsy we had done couldn't confirm or deny it was cancer, and cultures were not anything useful.
But the kitchen and backyard are getting remodeled in total, master and guest baths are getting redone, shit is just so many forms of polar ups and downs.

well thats just a quite sad existence

you fag, i am here for you if you want to talk.

Been out of jail for about 2 months, been mostly sober, only one bad drug test for weed but considering i was smoking every day and doing cocaine every week its a marked improvement. Might have a second job by Saturday that pays slightly better than my current one, that i still owe $600 for stealing because loldrugs.
Mosin still needs cleaning from that suicide attempt.
Legally not even supposed to have it due to psychiatric care/probation but fuck the pigs.
Going to church every other week. Trying to read at least a chapter a day, still plowing through Don Quixote and gotta revisit Botchan and finally finish that.
Trying to learn a trade within the year to stop working unskilled labor bullshit and actually make decent money.
And if all goes well I should be somewhere else in my life besides this shitty rut I’ve been in since my first girlfriend left.
Gonna buy me another gun as soon as I’m legal again.

Unironcially listening to it involves boosting anti gun statistics and that's something I'm not willing to do

No. I have two kids already.

A few of my preppy college stoner friends got golf club passes. Is golf even fun? Honestly never ever tried it. Never had the interest but it seems like an adult hobby.

Fuck I think it’s putting on airs. You know what I mean flexing for the gram. I’m tired of seeing the Beamer logo on a 10 year old car and basic vain selfies.

Golf is less of a sport and more of an excuse for bored moderately rich fucks to piss away money and have an excuse to get out of the house and socialize in my opinion. Its just... such a non-sport to me. If you’ve got friends to do it with its better than staying at home.

I have two siblings that always golf with their friends. Basically it's like most activities, it's fun if you have people that enjoy it too.

I wish I had people who could talk to me.

Agreed. Reenacting is pretty awesome. I just wish more people did it.

I drink, a lot. I can get up over .35 now.

bro, it's 03:49 i am on vacation and i have nothing to do.
if you need a chat i am here for you :)

good, man. thanks!

Things are going great. Got a new position at my job making more, doing less bullshit. Working on my BS in IT and earning a bunch of certs. Got an AR pdw build underway. Currently doing vodka shots with my husband in our new house like 3 minutes away from our shooting hole in a national forest. I'm not religious, but I feel blessed.

Mixed bag bro.

I’m torn inside because I a good deal of gratitude and don’t want to betray my shop since they were good to me before the Army and took me back without question when I got home but I can probably make more money working as a machinist since no one around where I live pays well for gunsmiths. Eh life is well life I guess it’ll get better.

I wish I had such a strong mentality. I can barely do anything because I'm generally weak and not motivated to do anything.

Some people react badly to Vicodin.

Husband?
Woooaaaah we either got a gay or a girl here I’m not sure which is more exotic here. Glad you’re doing good.

I was just joshing ya.

I have to do this with normies from work. It's not bad 99% of the time we get drunk and act as retarded as we can without pissing off the old people.

different user but I've maxed out my amazon breathalyzer. At about 750ml of liquor a day, spread out to keep me comfortably numb. Only 24, "millennial" n33t with a fuckload of guns

I've quit cold turkey in the past but once I'm stone cold sober for a week or two I can't take how shitty the world is and go back to sedating myself

I know the generalities but i suppose I should dress up better.
I’ve been open and honest with them, they’re aware I’m just a depressed fuckup that made poor choices and I’m trying to improve and being stuck in jail is not conducive to me getting better. Got locked up on a probation violation because i was a dumbass riding a depression spiral and not giving a fuck and abusing drugs to keep the suicidal thoughts barely at bay just to drag myself to my shit job to just buy more drugs. Back on meds tomorrow after i grab my check and get my script filled. Jail sucks and is not something I’d like to repeat, and being on suicide watch in a padded cell for a week straight isn’t fun either.
I’m gonna make it or die trying.

I feel the unmotivated part but you gotta try at something preferably career focused.

Dude, it took me 4 years to get to this point, I used to think about killing myself every night unless i was high as fuck and even then it was a struggle. My mosin has been rusting away for two years because last time i shot it was because it was under my throat but i pussied out and shot the wall and decided to go out drinking and get addicted to cocaine with the money i raised to pay for my burial. I pissed away about $12,000 doing drugs and stupid shit for no fucking reason other than being a weak ass bitch.
Why?
Because my crazy bitch of a first girlfriend left me after 5 years for no reason other than i was starting to show signs of crazy as well and i was inconvenient to her. That was 5 fucking years ago, and i had to score another dumb bitch off of Jow Forums just to move on partially, and that bitch helped put me in jail because my weak ass couldn’t handle her leaving.
I’m not a strong person, but you know what? I got tired of being a sad sack of shit and being a fucking disgusting waste. I’m tired of being a self-pitying parasite. That’s not me. So I’m finally making a stand for the first time in my life, to turn this burning fury and loathing into something worth giving a shit about, because if anything is worth loving, that is yourself. If you dont like yourself, its never too late to change. Never give up. Go to therapy, if you’re alone and uncomfortable, therapists are there to help and the best ones want to help you. You might have to search around for the one that meshes with you best but you know what? Its worth it. Otherwise, talk to your close friends, if you cannot believe your own tongue, believe in those that believe in you. You have a right to happiness and success as much as anybody else on this goddamn planet, all you have to do is rise to get it by your own hands.
You have the will within you, you must first break that steel out from the slag its contained in and refine it.

When you think of god as less of a bearded man in the sky and more of a potential spirit that can exist in all of man that drives us to be holy and fantastical achievers, Christianity makes a lot more sense and is more comforting. But thats my take on it.
You are blessed because you’re a good person. Whether magic or not, its still an expression that carries good meaning.

Yeah I wish I could but I'm simply to stubborn about the military.

You may not consider yourself a strong person but after all the shit you've gone through I wouldn't say you're weak. I can say for certain that you have become stronger. Quite a shame that I've gone to several bullshit therapists that didn't give a shit about me at all and I've been to atleast 10+.

It dulls the heartache you fucking normie

Thanks for the compliment man. Took a hard road to get here. I'm just glad I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm having these weird depressive periods that happen every two weeks or so. One week I'll be normal (not where I want to be motivation wise but good enough) then boom I hit a wall and can literally only watch movies and lay in bed. And then I get stressed out about not doing anything when I really should be doing something and then it gets worse. This lasts about a week and then I'm good again.

This on top of normal problems (>tfw no GF, etc.)

Man, it's not easy being over 30 and unmarried, I feel like a shitbag failure sometimes. I'm a vet and a college grad and I feel like I pissed away my 20s. I'm hitting the boxing gym, I've lost 15lbs with intermittent fasting and low carb diet, I drink way less now, I'm converting to Russian Orthodox Christianity, and I'm getting some hunting in this year. I have friends and a mannerbund but I'm still unloved by the opposite sex. Also my gunsmith sold an old Ithaca 37 and I missed out on buying that sweet piece for 200 bucks. So it's a mixed bag. I won't be suck starting my .357 anytime soon, but if I make it to 40 single I might just nose down and call it a night, if you know what I mean.
