Found out I lost a friend today.
30 years old... took his own life. He was a veteran and a victim of PTS. I recall he was with the first wave of troops to enter Iraq way back at the very beginning of the war in the 2000's... during one of his tours he vehicle was blown up by an IED... I never heard the full story as vets don't like to talk about it... I just know he spent a year becoming human again.
Just this past May he finished his Masters and all seemed like he was going to move on to better things... ... instead on Nov. 14 he took his life.
Find myself feeling like this... as I always looked up to (and was jealous of him for many reason!!):
"Richard Cory"
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.And he was rich – yes, richer than a king –
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.—Edwin Arlington Robinson

lol employes at the pipe shops are always so happy.
"We're not really working. this is our life style! :P "
they always get so excited about the things they are trying to sell me. lol
car salesmen can't even pull that off. Well... probably they know i'm broke and just there to waste their time...- I have to say, as a father of a teen, I fucking hate those places.Gnash
- Still vaping?monospaced
- @Gnash. Supposedly you need to be legal age to be in there.
@mono. Still vamping. Trying to make my own coil now.pango - ya, legally you need to be 19 in ontario -- but not enforced at all.Gnash

Clickbait headlines are now spoiling Star Wars 7 story details with no regard for human decency.

So it's happening, we're getting separated...
We sat down on Saturday night and it was the first time in weeks that we talked about it like adults and came to the conclusion that it's best for the both of us to go separate ways.I know it's silly to share this over QBN, specially when I don't know any of you, but I also know that some of you have been in this situation. What sucks the most is that Christmas is around the corner and it's going to be lonely and very weird.
- Sometime I find it easier to tell a stranger then people you know. Just gotta let it out or share somehow.pango
- I'm sorry to hear, do you have a children by her?utopian
- Whatever happens...do not attempt andy communication with Pango! And Never don't give up!utopian
- We don't have any children together, I guess that makes it easier in a way.Maaku
- Him or her?********
- Don't be hard on yourself...there are plenty of bright days ahead. At least 50% of all marriages end in divorce.utopian
- That's a very uplofting thought utopian....pango
- "Him or her?", I'm a he...don't understand your question.Maaku
- It's all good Pango and Utopian. It's just weird right now, I know it'll be better.Maaku
- Just don't go out and join ISIS or anything!
We love ya!utopian - hang in there. As lonely as xmas may be, it's probably still better than staying together through the holidays -- that has the potential to be more painful.Gnash
- ORPHANT CHRISTMAS!! :D drama free.
Get bunch of friends who's not celebrating with partner or family as well. Good old fun :)pango - All the best! When I feel down, this song (lyrics) get me back on track: https://www.youtube.…SimonFFM

- it's time to work ON yourself mate. exercise like a banshee, read The 3% Man, fire up your hobbies and set life goals. Do It Now!!!robotron3k

Most artist's books are pretty boring. The paper and binding are nice, but I'm not spending $30 on a 30 page book.

seems like everyone is wasting their energy on a few individuals here on the qbn's...so much dialogue...about nothing. pretty sad to let a community get ruffled by a few people.

A while back, I asked a friend to help me move since he had a car. He said he was going to see his mom on Saturday, but was free Sunday. I texted him Friday if he could help sooner, but was really slow on the replies, and said he was going to see his mom Saturday.
I felt like he left me hanging so i've been ignoring his texts for the past 3 weeks. Am I over reacting?
- Def overreacting.nb
- are your nipples sore?yurimon
- Who let Yurimon out of his box again?!?!
Ya def overreacting. I don't think your friend owe you anything. Does he??pango - I feel he wasn't there when I needed help, so felt he was being selfish and lazy.pinkfloyd
- Well he doesn't owe you anything. He doesn't have to help you. It's not his obligation. That's how I see it.pango
- he already said he was busy saturday, you were expecting him to change his plans last minute for you, and then got funny when he didn't? You sound like a cu...********
- Don't take friends for granted! :)pango
- lol @ "got funny"pinkfloyd
- British for 'got irritated' ... 'In a huff' ... 'Knickers in a twist' ... 'Got lemon' etc********
- wait till Sunday or find another friend to move your unable ass... OR RENT A TRUCK FFS.

I hope nothing goes down this week in nyc as far anything to do with Turror, cant even say the word.. activities, seem to be like drills happening in the city and an increase of some weird choppers flying around my skyscraper. an increased number of passes all through out the day. appears to be a consistent path. doesn't look like the site seeing or transport variety. there is helicopter traffic on a daily basis but not like this crazy number or flying this low. a mix of popo type n some weird ones. my spider sense is tingling.
- You're trump aren't you? Makes sense actually.monospaced
- the more people hate him the stronger he gets. mono you have nunchucks or ninja stars? this is the best we could do in nyc for protection.yurimon
- You forgot about new Yorks finest. And McClainmonospaced
- some of the security guards are armed which is good.yurimon
- I have nunchucks. You wanna borrow it?pango
- to far broh. I want to post in hopes if anything goes down there is a record, might serve as a diversion to events. i dont know. i can sense activityyurimon
- in the city is different. its like weather in that respect.yurimon
- Don't jinx it!!pango
- So what you're saying is at the most obvious time in history to suggest an attack might happen soon, you're suggesting it, in the hope that you get it right********
- no way. I feel uneasy in light of events and what i described isnt helping. so if anything happens to me, i gave my password to a friend so it lives on.yurimon
- the city it seems is on high alert.yurimon
- "so if anything happens to me, i gave my password to a friend so it lives on."

Damn, I finally just watched the Drake - Hotline music video, and now I get the joke. I hadn't even heard the song before.
Fuckin' awful video, and bad song. Drake is a terrible dancer! He's got moves like me.
Music reviews seem to be overall positive... This is why I live under the comfortable rock I do.
- He's soft as shit. http://bigghostlimit…face_melter

Had a client that would cancel phone meetings and in person meetings at last moment because he was "so busy". He would like to mention how good "secret" projects he was working on were and how he was so successful and innovative.
Client then couldn't pay a $800 invoice on time.
I'm not sure what his company really does. Either he was lying to me or he has a gambling/drug problem.
I dropped client.
