Tried drinking.

Post by ian »

Watching newest trailer parked boys and went hard at it.
Too hard because I just threw up.
Haven’t vomited in about half a decade.

I must have been drinking against the grain of the liquor!
And when you drink against the grain of the liquor, you lose!

Going to miss Lahey :( but I’ll have to get some drinking practice in between now and September.

Practice makes perfect.

Same thing happened to me. For awhile there I was drinking all the damn time. For awhile it was almost every day. But now I've just lost interest in it, last time I tried to drink it sucked and wasn't enjoyable at all. I look back now and think damn how in the hell did I think drinking all the time was fun?

I think you just get to a point where your body has had enough. I was never a big fan of alcohol, I was more of a marijuana and pills guy. But I used to drink a little every night (not to get drunk, just a little buzz after work) but now I just drink once a week if that. So I'd say I'm 99% sober these days.

See most of my friends are pills and weed guys.
Sure I’ve tried a lot of shit... but alcohol was just my drug of choice.
And I don’t know if it’s my body quitting so much as my head.

I’ve been sober for a long time now (for someone who used to drink as much as I did) with no practice, but a new season of bojack is putting and end to sobriety.

As soon as it’s finished downloading, I’m trying to drink myself to death.

I've been drinking for 12 hours straight now. Still alive. vomited once which allowed me to drink more, I guess that's down to the drinks (Vodka, Rum, Jager, Beer and cider) which I have been changing when I get sick of each one.
Gone through I'd guess 30 when I threw up 5 hours in.. and 80ish drinks all up.

Also I'm going to start a petition to change the proper measurement of drunkenness (Blood alcohol concentration or BAC) to a better system:

"On a scale of 1 to Jim Lahey" or a scale of 1 to 10 with Jim Lahey being 11. :olol:

I had to get sober during the week to do a supply run, but it’s been a constant binge otherwise.
I thought today I am tired of drinking, but I am not, it’s just I only have rum left and it’s not agreeing with me.

I also broke my gaming pc at some point, no idea when or how. But it won’t turn on and I’m too drunk to fix it.

Have to sober up to do another supply run now :(

Back to sober today.

Unhappy despite that being a great binge, and a great season of bojack.

Next drinks I guess will be... a few months away.

That is one thing that really sucks about getting drunk. You wake up the next morning and your TV is on the floor busted and you have no idea how it happened. Is there any decently priced weed around you? Or even pills? I think you need to lay off the drinking, now you're a grown man and I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just talking from experience. Drinking may seem like fun at first but then you end up getting drunk and breaking shit or making a fool out of yourself and you either don't remember it at all or remember it and think omg what in the hell was I thinking! I think you'd be better off getting high. It is a lot more enjoyable then alcohol and it doesn't make you black out and do crazy shit. I don't want to recommend you start doing pills but honestly you'd probably have a better time with those than drinking as well. With either weed or pills you'd just be able to sit back and chill, play some video games or whatever and just enjoy it. Instead of being drunk stumbling around breaking shit and not being able to enjoy any activity all that much.

I'm sure you've smoked weed before but if you have a way to get some decent quality/priced stuff I'd give it a try for a little while and see how you like it compared to drinking. I'm only saying this because like I said earlier for awhile I was drinking alot and thought it was fun. But now I look back on it and think it was pretty lame actually. The only reason I was drinking so often is because most of the time I'd be home by myself all day and I'd just get tired of it and drinking seemed to make it more enjoyable.

Really not into weed.
Never was. Just doesn’t shut my head up.

I’ve been sober for a day now so will probably go get more tomorrow.

Case of pick your poison really, not even too fussed about the computer being busted, no point in gaming right now anyway, still have the other computer for endless shows that play around the clock.

I know there’s no point in drinking, everything I do is pointless in the end... but it is something I’m good at and I was shitfaced for 10 days solid and happy, sober for one, same old shit.

Drunken fixing computer!
Video card is ok (which is good because the only single part I can’t afford to replace)

Putting the card in the wardrobe and working through the other parts.

Lots of broken clips on the front panel.
Display port cable has been ripped out from the monitor.
Will have to check monitor...

Clearly it’s come off the desk with some degree of force.

Monitor is ok. Cable is super dead.

Now to see if the hard drive survived.. it did get shunted out of the cage, but I’ve seen drives survive more.

Good thing I didn’t knock my main PC off the desk, haven’t had a backup in like 4 years.

Now on to the fun part.
Main components.probably should have done these first but oh well.

Hmm. No power at all..

By the process of elimination I can conclude my motherboard or power supply is dead.

It’s the power supply.. fucked if I know how.
Mobo, ram and cpu are all ok ($250+$290+$400) so thank fuck for that.
Now to perform open heart surgery on the psu. Probably an easy fix.
No user serviceable parts inside my ass!

Also I have started on the drink I invented.. I am sure you are all aware of sake bombs.
Shot of sake into beer, well my drink is called a Nagasake bomb.
It’s just a tumbler of sake into a beer stein full of more sake.

The proper way is for the tumbler sake to be heated and the stein sake to be ice cold, but I’m cutting corners and it’s just room temperature.

No one will complain.

Somehow the main pcb has come off and shunted into the fan and ripped a single wire from the mains plug out..

Going to glue board back down and re solder wire and I garuantee it’ll be fine.
