Independence Day Open Thread

Happy Independence Day to everyone, even you godless Canadian bastards.

In terms of sporting events we have Wimbledon Round of 16 action. I wonder if Andy Murray will be regarded as British or Scottish by the time this tournament ends (this is not a Brexit comment)

There is also the Tour De France where you watch people watching cycling. Real exhilarating stuff there.

We also have some midseason doldrums baseball if that is your pleasure.

 

For the Republic!

Hey just thought I’d post my recipe for BBQ pressure cooker pulled chicken. Here goes:

1. Put about six large boneless chicken breasts or thighs in pressure cooker.

2. Add a bottle of bbq sauce.

3. Set pressure cooker for 40 minutes.

4. That’s it.

Happy Independance Day to you American Folk. May your belts be stretched and your beers be cold.

The experience with no laptop makes me angry and I sure as hell am not sitting in the spare room with the desktop and no tv. YOU CANT MAKE ME MOM!!!!!

Nickname for my right hand; The Punisher.

I’m totally not gonna ask who your punisher’s “Daddy” is.

Mmmmm. Capitalism.

Just to reiterate about my response to CB’s reply about Defending Your Life. The thesis is that you can’t live your life in fear. I’ve thought about that for twenty years and yet I’ve still done the exact opposite continuously for all that time. So I just feel stupid knowingly doing that and it just sucks. And it’s gotten to the point where I’ve missed out on significant milestones of normal interpersonal experiences that I don’t think I’ll ever reach. Oh well.

You are not alone. Sometimes it takes us some time to figure shit out.
No point looking at it with disdain. Be happy you figured it out when you did. Lotsa folks never do.
Now, act on it.

Unsurprised

I don’t know how.

Porky Prime

Baby steps. Think of something big you’d like to do that you never could work up to. Then scale it down. Smaller, but similar.

Or write down the specific things that you think or know you need to do to accomplish a certain goal. Take the steps one at a time, working your way up as you cross them off.

Regret is the worst.
New experience does a lot to take the edge off of it.

Words of wisdom.

Dude, as much as I say (and sometimes believe) otherwise, life is worth it. One never knows what (or who) one might yet be privileged to experience. Less than five years ago I’d have been fine to just lay down and die. Now, five years later, I’m on the verge of possibly the happiest period of my life.

You don’t have to know how. You just have to. Knowing how isn’t what it’s about.

ballsofsteelandfury

These are fucking words of wisdom too.

Amen!
