Help
I was going to gripe about traveling to a supid family event with my wife & daughter, but it seems petty now.
My condolences on your loss, Tiste Simeon. I have lost a best friend before, suddenly & unexpectedly, and it rips your soul hard.
Focus on the good times you had together and try to help the bereaved family, it helped me to cope.
What's messing with your groove?

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Thanks guys. Had a good cry this morning in church and some good laughs with some people who knew him well. All in all it has been a positive experience - as positive as something like this could be anyways. 
He was a guy full of life & he definitely wouldn't want anything like us moping around and stuff. So yeah, it's pretty tragic and all but everyone is doing well. Thanks for all your thoughts.

Sorry Tiste, were we anything more than thousands of miles apart, we'd have a pint to his memory.

I got a bill from UPS today, billing me for an advance on customs for a package from Amazon I got about a month ago. First off, there should have been any taxation on the package to begin with. No tax on books, and the one CD I ordered was only £10 - i.e. about half the amount for customs free purchases. Yet still the customs manages to charge me NOK 24,- for the CD. Then, on top of that, UPS has charged me NOK 150,- for paying the customs charge up front. So instead of just NOK 24,- for a CD that shouldn't be taxed, they're asking me to pay NOK 174,-. Naturally I called them up and told them this was ridiculous, but all the woman at the UPS call service could do was to notify the customs of this and have them call me sometime during the next 24 hours. Oh, I just know this'll turn out to be far too much of a hassle to bother with, and I really should just bite the bullet and pay the NOK 174,- to get the people off my back.

sorry for your loss Tiste mate, it never easy losing some one close, just remember the good times. As for what's messing with my groove, a mate of mine slammed the boot of his car on my thumb as we were fitting a bicycle rack to the car. Its f'ing killing me at the moment....

@ Brynj
Don't do it. That's what they want. UPS charges are 75% bullshit and you have to check them rather carefully.
My groove is messed by the fact that it is already 29 C outside and will be going up to around 37 C later...
Stupid weather.

Messing with my groove: DW's use of the Celsius scale, so I don't actually know if that sucks or not...

There's that girl, right.
Oh yes, it's never pretty when a post starts like this!
Anyway, I haven't seen her for 4 consecutive weekends now. Now, we don't meet often, and quite frankly we only met twice (not counting "back in the day"). But she's hijacking my thoughts all the time. It's like the only thing I really care about lately is wether she even thinks of me in any special way or not, wether she's purposedly avoiding me or it's really been an unfortunate chain of events weekend to weekend, wether I'm just making a terribad fool of myself and walking right into disappointment and regret. On one hand, I want to know, on the other hand, I'm terrified of losing the status quo if she'd just push me away if I confronted her about it, or started probing here and there.
Now, it's not the first time a girl takes my thoughts over like this. But it's the first time when it's been totally, absolutely civilized and sober and going on for this long (months as opposed to a few days). I seriously don't know how to handle this; this situation is absolutely overwhelming. I don't know how to keep my self esteem and confidence up after this much stress and relative failure. I'm having difficulty not falling into despair because she's not all over me all the time.
See, it's also the first time when a girl makes me feel I could just drop partying, drinking, playing games. I'd exchange my friends for hers. I'd even go dead to the world if it was with her. At the same time I'm afraid I'm somehow idealizing her and overestimating the status of our relations. I already have difficulty opening to anyone, friends, closest family... if I overplayed my hand in this, it's like I'm on the edge. I don't want to turn completely cynical.
It's messing with my groove allright.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I asked another girl to the social-she can't go either. It's tommorow and I am effectively dateless.
Should I go? Because if I do, I will look like an ass and a loser. (I know I'm not but other people will not see it that way). My brother went alone a few years back, and he said it was shit.

If everyone's going to be paired, you'll only feel bad if you go. You're better off hitting a pub or club. Or even stay home and read a book.
Social gatherings are all cool and stuff, but not when you're the odd one out, in the very negative way. Kinda like this picture.

Save your money and your time. If you have friends not going, go do something fun together. If not, do whatever you do to have fun: be it watching movies, reading books, listening to music, etc.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Fuck! I knew it! Turns out that I have to pay taxation on the package, as the total worth of it far exceeded the NOK 200,- limit (toll.no says so in Norwegian). Thing about it is that I've done this a million times before, without having to pay customs, meaning that I have precedence on it. So I can go to court on this mother fucker. I'll be paying out my ears in legal fees, but it'll be fucking worth it. Or not.
