Hey guys, I know you love it when I blog here

So I thought I'd tell you where I am in my life.

For one, I think I've been thrown out of university. Long story but it's a whole admin fuckup from last year that I thought was sorted and now apparently isn't. Not knowing whether I'm meant to be there a lot has made it really hard to get motivated to actually do the work, and all my assignments are late.
Due to the rise in fees, this was probably my last chance to actually get a uni education, so once again I have fucked up my life.

No sign of any woman on the horizon who wants to be with an alcoholic, unemployed thirty year old broke loser, so that's another great thing. I'll probably have to leave my flat in the next month or so too and I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do. I don't want to leave this city, but it looks like I'm going to have to and move back in with my parents until I get some shit job, which will be impossible in this economy.
I can't move back with my parents. I'm thirty fucking years old. Plus, we can only tolerate each other in small doses, we'd kill each other. I left home when I was sixteen for that reason.
Normally some of you guys hate it when I've ever talked about good things happening in my life, so I thought you'd feel pleased to know that it's all going to shit.

I think its fair to say everyone here hates you and likes to see you suffer.

But still, i think you should view this from the positive perspective.
You dont seem to make the impression that what you did meant something to you. Perhaps you should try to view this as an opertunity to do what you want to do, or to develop yourself in areas that were not previously accessable to you.

And about your parrents, maybe they changed, maybe they appreciate you now and maybe you have changed in such way that it is easier for you to live with them.

I cant give you any really useful advice, but if there is one thing i learned in life its that one should do what he thinks is the right thing to do, no matter what.

Find a girl with an apartment. Cut the love story crap, you're a man now.

If I'd stayed with that nazi chick, I'd be set to do this.
As it is though, I am shit out of luck. Can't even get laid at the minute, let alone snare a house with a woman.

rise in fees
Oh, that happened? I kind of wish I had stayed in university before it did. Oh well, at least my debts are less, and I have a ``fallback certificate''.
until I get some shit job, which will be impossible in this economy.
Hey, at least you (presumably) have some experience. I have never worked a day in my life, unless you count the two weeks of work experience in secondary school. But that was almost ten years ago!
I can't move back with my parents. I'm thirty fucking years old.
You are never too old to live with your parents.

>>5
I haven't worked in about eight years myself, and it was shit telesales jobs, although I was very good at them.

You are never too old to live with your parents.

No, just no.
I've moved back in before for like a week or two a couple of times for various reasons (crazy ex boyfriends of girls I was with after me).
I can't live with them. We argue.
My Father drinks as much as I do, and has a temper. My mum doesn't drink, but also has a temper.
Granted, they've chilled a little with age, but bear in mind we also don't spend more than a couple of days around each other. Me and my Father have still nearly come to blows a few times over the years. It's an impossibility.

Compounding this is the sense of shame that I've failed them, which I feel terrible about, and I also know they are going to ride me ragged about. Every fucking day, if I'm with them. Fuck that.

Plus, my chances of finding a lover may be low at the minute, but they will be absolute fucking zero if I'm thirty and live with my folks.

I never should have left my council house back in the home town. I'll never get another one.

>>6
I haven't worked in about eight years
AHAHAHAHAHAHA

You worthless piece of shit.

>>7
Yes, I am a terrible cad.

If I'd stayed with that nazi chick, I'd be set to do this.
Nice legs, nice tattoo and a flat. Fuck. Go there, ask hypocritically if you can stay on the couch. Offer to pay half the rent and some coke. Just don't go to your parents, you'll feel like shit.

>I never should have left my council house back in the home town. I'll never get another one.
If you don't even ask, you'll never get anything. Grow a beard, speak with a funny accent and tell them you're an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan. They'll find you a place to sleep.

Your school should have a advising/counselling service, right?  Students services or somthing?  Can't hurt to poke at them a bit while you can.

>>9
I agree with this guy. Go ask the nazi chick, unless she's already with someone in which case you're fucked.

But really, there's no shame in living with your parents when all goes to shit, my aunt went back to my grandfather's house when she was 50, and then he died and now she has the house all for herself and her husband.

Maybe have a go at killing your parents? Who knows, maybe you'll succeed.

Have you considered doing illigal stuff?
Or being homeless? I heard storries about homeless people and im not talking about hobo types, i mean people that get money troughout the day trough some method and sleep in hotels and hostels at night and steal internet at times.

>>12
There was a guy on /jp/ that lived in a van and stole wireless internet. I don't remember how he made money though.

L33tUK, you're a pussy for a British guy. You can teach anywhere in the world in private schools. Japan, Somalia, wherever. Take a year abroad and don't forget to bring your guitar.

She has a boyfriend now, not possible. If she didn't, I'd be all over that idea. Fuck, whenever she doesn't have a boyfriend she always rings me for a booty call anyway, so if that changes I guess I'll find out. Not likely though. Can't really hang out with her at the minute as her boyfriend doesn't want me around for the obvious reason that every time they argue I end up plowing her. We did try being just friends a couple of times. One of those times we ended up drunkenly screwing at a party last year, and he knows. So, no dice.
I still talk to her every day. I think if we'd met at a different time, we might have stayed together. We'd both just come out of long relationships, she had some family problems that were fucking with her head and making her act very crazy, and I was still in love with someone else. Now I'm not in love with anyone, but she is...although I know she's still sexually attracted to me.
Shame really, I have more of a laugh with her compared to justabout any other girl, and like her a lot more now than I did when we were together. Oh well.

Grow a beard, speak with a funny accent and tell them you're an illegal immigrant from Afghanistan. They'll find you a place to sleep.

I already have a neckbeard, but I also have a long history with the unemployment office, they know exactly who I am. I haven't had to deal with them for nearly three years, and I am not looking forward to doing so again.

Yeah, I should do this.
I'm still technically on the system somehow (I can login to blackboard) so I don't think all is lost.

>>11

Moving back in with your parents at fifty is very different from moving back in with your parents at thirty. Also, I've already stated, it just wouldn't work.

>>12

Have you considered doing illigal stuff?

I'm trying to not get in trouble with the law these days, I have a criminal record as long as my fucking arm. I've been pretty good these for the last decade or so, apart from a few drunk and disorderly arrests. I'm not doing any crimes.

Or being homeless? I heard storries about homeless people and im not talking about hobo types, i mean people that get money troughout the day trough some method and sleep in hotels and hostels at night and steal internet at times.

I've been homeless in the past briefly, and have had many friends over the years who have also been. It is a miserable existence, and not one which I wish for. Besides, I have too much stuff to be homeless. Where would I keep my six guitars for a start.

>>14

You can teach anywhere in the world in private schools. Japan, Somalia, wherever. Take a year abroad and don't forget to bring your guitar.

I wouldn't be ever able to go to Japan due to a marijuana conviction, they wouldn't let me in. ;_;
I also wouldn't be able to teach anywhere with no fucking degree.

>>15
I would have a problem carrying around six guitars as well.

>>16
Funny you should say that, because thinking about it they are spread all over the place at the minute.
Two at my house, two at the keyboardist's house as it's nearer the practise room (on my way there now in fact to pick them up beforehand), and two up at my parents.
 
I suppose one thing I have to look forward to is I have three gigs to play this month.

Get better parents, then move in with them. Even if your mum is a bit of a bitch, it could be like Sorry!
Failing that, get a van:

This would be awesome. The downside is that you would need to rely on public toilets a lot for washing and defecating. But then maybe people would see you as this mysterious tramp-like figure and you'd become famous.

>>18
I can't drive, otherwise I might do that.

>>19`
>30 years old
>can't drive
LMAO

>>20
Yeah, it's pretty bad. Never been able to afford a car or driving lessons.

>>21
Don't feel bad, plenty of people can't drive. People like:
 • David Mitchell
 • The disabled
and many, many more!

>>22
Noel Gallagher is rich as fuck and he never learned how to drive...
If you're a proper drunk, it's better to not be able to drive anyway.
My Father used to sell cars, he always said he would never give me driving lessons because I can't stay sober long enough. Funny coming from him.
I went to an awesome club tonight. They have it decked out like it's halloween every night. It's called Satan's Hollow.

You know what /lounge/, I want to put the dates of my upcoming gigs here, in case any of you are anywhere near.
I can't though, because you'd probably then be able to dox me.

Well, I dunno.
I use a pseudonym in the band.

We'll take a bus to it because we can't drive either

I'll have to fly.

>>24
Find out members of all bands playing.
Dox them all.
100% chance you're one of them.

Feel like fucking yourself today, buddy?

L33tUK seems like a swell dude. I've insulted him quite a lot in the past but, in these last few months I really grew to like him. If I ever go to the UK I'd like to grab some beers with the guy.

>>29
Nobody cares about your man-crush, Steve.

>>30
Who the fuck is Steve? My name's 美鈴

>>33
nice dubs bro

Nobody gives a fuck. The only people who would care are people who like you. Just post the venues or something and see if any of us are close by.

Do you do gigs all around the country or just wherever you live?

>>34
Yes exactly.

I am very sorry to hear that my friend.

>>28
Feel like fucking yourself today, buddy?
I think I better leave it, lest the bricksock is forthcoming.

>>29

If you ever do, post here and I'll meet you.

Do you do gigs all around the country or just wherever you live?
This band has only been together less than two months. These three gigs coming up are all in Manchester, basically doing the scene of where I live. We did our first gig a couple of weeks ago in my hometown because the singer is from there too, so it felt right. It went down well.
We have other gigs being sorted out for London, Brighton, Scarborough and fucking Milton Keynes of all places. Simply because they've ended up being ones put forward to us.

The singer dude is a complete media/fame whore, and has been for a long time, so he has a fuck load of contacts. He used to live in London for a while and went to Goldsmiths, if you know anything about that kinda shit that should tell you. Also looks like we're getting set up to play Leeds festival (only on the unsigned stage, but what the fuck, free festival tickets), the Beautiful Days Festival and the Drunk In Public gig.

Funny, when I had nothing in my life, I was happy being in bands and doing shit gigs in the hometown and nowhere else. Now it looks like this might actually go somewhere, but it's a bit tainted because I have actually thrown away a good thing with uni.
But whenever I'm doing band stuff I'm happy, just when I'm not...I'm not.

>>37
Hey, you're making progress. That's definitely a good thing!

I live near Newcastle. I'd consider travelling to Scarborough just to see you play, but it's a bit far, particularly for staring at a random internet stranger even if neither of us were too bothered about it.

If you come slightly further north, please post and tell me !

Come to one of the Manchester ones. You can stay at mine. I'll probably regret that, I imagine a dude like Comic Book Guy turning up.
My flat is a complete fucking shit tip so I hope you don't mind mess, but there is a spare room.

The only real reason for this is that thread on /vip/ somewhere where it says "All day I walk around, and I am a VIPPER, but nobody knows."

The fact that there are about ten people here means that none of us will ever meet, in all probability. It would be interesting to make that probability wrong.

Anyway, when the Scarborough gig gets sorted out (should be a couple of months tbh), I'll post here about it.
