W00kie be thy name.
These hippies come With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
Lead us not into the Biscuits
And deliver us from Umphrey's
Quiet Tuesday

@birmy That photo is beautiful. That's the first word that came to mind as cheesy as it may be.
@axilla_part_2_not_part_1 What flavor Clif Bar? I've got cases of Peppermint stick(Obsessed is putting it mildly.)
Still sick here. Some kind of self-producing apocalypse, I'm sure.
What's up .net?Umm, I don't eat cliff bars or drink green tea

Sitting here at my desk. Listening to the talking heads and nursing my f***ed up throat I seriously thought i was almost better and then last night I had a hacking attack and now this morning it isn't so bad but I have no idea if its gonna hold. I really hope so Cuz I wanna go work out.
Better side - next week is only 2 days in the office!
Derp side - like 60 emails sitting in my inbox from friday late afternoon and today.
Amazing picture, @birmy. Never been all the way up there. I need to rectify that. Have hiked and rode Tucks, but never been at the summit.
Morning all.

Just got the pop up that I have to shut down the 7 apps I just logged into and restart to run updates. Why did they stop doing this overnight?
@spencur6 - I had a horrendous throat problem my freshman year. Went to the student health thing multiple times over at least a month, and they were like, "nothing, you're a pussy, its a sore throat." I was miserable, couldn't eat, lost a LOT of weight (and I was really skinny back then), eventually went to the emergency room. They said "Why didnt you come in sooner, this infection is so bad you can literally die from it - soon." What it was is called a peritonsillar abscess; maybe tell your doc to look for that specifically.

Point being, get that shit checked out. Be persistent. It could be serious business.
Stressful hump day, but I am looking forward to a nice evening alone.
I came up with a new theory yesterday... Men get more psycho as they get older and Women chill out more (in regards to dating) I am new to all of this "dating" stuff, but I have found that men are the crazy bitches now.
But if you mean older like 50+ - man, older women I work with are all f***ing nuts. Until they hit like 65, then it seems to even out.
@cupuscakus - If you mean like, our age as older, I think I agree with you. Most of the single girls I hang out with in the 30-40 range are pretty chill, while a lot of the dudes are a little off. Some are solid though. But if you mean older like 50+ - man, older women I work with are all f***ing nuts. Until they hit like 65, then it seems to even out.As a single women of 35 years young, I have found that the men I attempt to date (within the same age range) are struggling to find "Something" --- where as the women did that in their 20s, and are now settling into a chiller pattern
Happy hump day. Here's to hopefully finishing the crazy amount of work I have today.
@birmy saved that picture. I need a new background!
Peace

Can you explain the find something more? Like job? Being a 35 year old single male, I am a little scared I might be crazier then I thought.Yeah, like men get less confident as they get older. Am I making enough money? Will I be a good father? Why is this woman with ME? etc.
The least sexiest thing about a man is a lack of confidence... and IMO, many men after 30 start to lose it.
Edit: Where as, again IMO, women seem to become more self assured and confident as they get older. They are no longer the dumb sluts they were in their 20s. They are usually professional, independent and need a man less

In all seriousness, why do you think that is?
What if you were/are a male who was/is crazy in their twenties?Your 20s is the time of your life when you SHOULD be crazy... Figure shit out with no reprocussions. Be a man whore!
I guess we all found........something? I'll go with that. Something.
@cupuscakus, no offense, but in my experience there is no female demographic that is less psycho than the corresponding male demographic.
@birmy - lose that .gif please. It doesn't help that it's the Flyers colors and I'm still struggling to get used to the harsh reality that they're not f***ing playing hockey!

Not joking -- I think hair loss and weight gain is another. These men that I see were most likely the guys who could f*** any chick they wanted. Those chicks smartened up, found a nice guy and left the HS QB to flounder. These men are not used to being denied. Confidence shaker. Finally, I think many of these men never thought about their future in terms of settling down. And as the group of friends all get hitched and pop out babies, they find themselves in the minority and it worries them. Confidence shaker.
It kind of reminds me of this:
GM.Net
Since we are talking age and dating, I managed to date a string of crazy broads in their mid 30s when I was in my early 20s. So... yeah, bitches be crazy. These bitches were crazy. I think they didn't want to accept that they were starting to age and it made them feel better about themselves to be with a young guy, going out drinking/partying all the time.
I am sorry if I sound like I am generalizing... I love all the GM boys and I don't think any of you are psychos!
I think there are a few factors. Family pressure is one (ie: Why can't you find a nice girl and settle down"Wow, I'm kind of surprised by this. As I said, I've got no single friends these days, but I would think that women are victims of these exact same hangups, just to an even higher degree (why can't you find a nice boy and settle down?, weight gain, loss of looks leading to being turned down, fear of "biological clock" issues).Not joking -- I think hair loss and weight gain is another.

Frankly, the married guys in my group of friends who don't have kids are NOT worried about it at all.
I don't think any of you are psychos!Hmmmm.... For the most part I think you are correct, however, there are some gents around these parts that make me wonder.
So basically, don't peak as a teen, it's like peaking before the phish show starts

It's funny because my new roommate and I were having a similar discussion last night. We went to high school together and our crew was just cool enough to be not considered uncool. We agreed it is better to go through high school awkwardly so you can become a well adjusted adult. He told me about seeing this one kid from high school that was captain of the hockey team at the local mall. The ki d is now hugely fast and worlds as an undercover security guard at Nordstrom's, lol. So basically, don't peak as a teen, it's like peaking before the phish show startsBiff Loman'd
@cupuscakus said:I think women figure out their wants and desires in their late 20s (most women know they want kids, where they want to live, what they want in a man, etc) At this point, they become fully aware of what they need to do to acheive those goals. So when you meet a woman in her early 30s who is still single, they usually have a decent paying job, their own apartment, nice clothes, etc... all of which they got on their own. In my experience, it takes a man a little bit longer to realize these things, so they tend to flounder a bit more...dating younger women, avoiding the big changes that are inevitable.I think there are a few factors.

In my circle of friends, either they were married early (college sweethearts) or they went to the city, became successful and married a man WAY older than them (3 friends to be exact)
This new role is cutting into my .net time something serious.
I can't see @Birmy's pic...can someone enlighten me as to what it is?
Got a nice email from phish.net this morning congratulating me on my 16 year phish anniversary. I don't recall getting one of those last year. Cool new feature!
My back is buggered...went to the Dr. last night and she gave me some muscle relaxers. Nothing really good, but it's something.
@cupuscakus I agree with you for the most part. I'm new to dating at 37 and the guys I've met are really pushy to get serious right away. I'm no where near wanting to settle down; I've played that game already. No kids, good job, my own home, and loving living alone with my cat(s). I've always thought that the stereotype of men getting better w/ age and women deteriorating has been true. I find that, in my case, it's not. I look better than I have in 10 years and my confidence has skyrocketed. I don't have someone doubting my every decision or questioning whatever I do.
But I love .net guys. Muah! xoxo
