The days begin early and the nights end late. Routine has set in, monotony is my game. Twice a week I can live like I want. Responsibility has taken hold wringing me out to dry. How many of us love what we do? Money is a real son of a bitch. Only another 35 years of working and retirement here I come. With age comes...

So I turned 30 this year and have always wanted to learn a new language. I’m a native English speaker and I’ve dabbled in other languages but never become very proficient. For now I’m determined to learn a new one. My choice? Russian or Россия. Я учатся в дом. Learning a different alphabet has been a real challenge but I’m really enjoying the struggle. Maybe...

Good luck with that! there are a lot of Youtube Russian language courses and non-speaker friendly vlogs. I enjoy the pointless angst of Yeahrussia and her cronies... --also Duolingo is pretty good for most languages, though I've not done their Russian nor is it one of my languages.. i am studying both Japanese and Chinese there (700 days without a miss) as well as French as a sort of palate cleanser... persistence and immersion in the music/films etc. really help (i have learned a lot of languages over my lifetime for various reasons)

Want to wish you luck in this big challenge! Russian is very beautiful language, despite his complexity and diversity ☺️👍👍
It has been 1,147 days since I last smoked weed. It’s been 854 days since I had any nicotine. It’s only been a week since I last had any alcohol because I slipped. I’m more proud of quitting marijuana then anything because it ruled my life before, I can hardly remember most of my 20s because I was always high. I’m having a difficult time...

it is particularly rough in the Covid areas because meetings or gatherings of other similar folk are less available. I have no strong opinion one way or the other for AA--i've seen it work, and i've seen it fail or just be too damned lame...but there is a camaraderie of sorts with others who know the same struggle, and know that no matter how long it has been, each day is the only day you can count. so count that day and consider that there are tens of thousands also trying to count that day. the real problem (besides the hole in our pleasure center that nothing else quite fills--as well I know) is that the weight of years of abuse are sometimes on one end of the see-saw while one measly day, one measly choice stands on the other. that's why linking our arms--as it were--with even one or two others helps so much. me? i got me a girl in another town who has her bad days and good days... never been lovers (thank god), but we are non-drinking buddies, and that has given me space to breathe from time to time.... you are not alone and yet you are alone. taking up arms against ourselves is the cost of individuality. always.

@oldernow hey man thanks for your post I think you are right that standing together with others who are sober will make it easier. I’m doing this on my own and most of my friends don’t understand that I don’t want these things to control my life but addiction is difficult to overcome. I’m happy to hear you got someone to keep on the right path, stay strong brother.
I recently activated my account and have been enjoying the fuck outta looking at all the beautiful ladies. Take a look at my tumblr it's a combination of poetry, drawings, and personal photos. It is all original and from my heart.

So I will assume the majority of people reading this (I know my blogs are in huge demand) will know who I am talking about when I say Holden Caulfield. I felt like him today in the aspect that I am in Afghanistan and I really want to protect these small children's innocence. I spend a lot of time in a turret on a truck...

LOL really? Why do they like pens?
deadmoonnight:
lol not really sure but think its a status thing like "wooo look what I got motherfucker" because not many of them can read or write
So I begin my blog now with the understanding nobody is probably going to read this so this is more of an outlet type of thing. Facebook used to be awesome to post anything I wanted but now with family members and people I work with that can make my job hell I just dont bother posting anything on there anymore, I feel so censored....

Which book?
deadmoonnight:
Dream seller, it was a short read about Brandon Novak. He's friends with bam and you can see him on shows with him occasionally but any ways the book was just about his struggle with being a heroin addict and how he lost everything and how terrible he felt about it. I think it was a good read.
