Today is (hopefully) my final workers comp doctor's appointment. With any luck the end of this nightmare lawsuit (and being homeless) is in sight.

Finally understanding how my brain works with ADHD only makes things more frustrating. All of my "WHY ARE YOU BEING OBJECTIVELY CRUEL TO INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR NO REASON" senses are tingling, but in the worst way possible.

After 20 years, singing comes so naturally now that recording is no longer the anxiety-inducing nightmare it used to be, and it takes fewer and fewer takes to get it right, especially when I'm screaming.
Now it's MIXING my own vocals I'm having trouble with. I'm learning, it's just.. Frustrating.

I've already got six songs pepper for the "EP". At this point I should just add a few more songs and make it an album. I've never been more inspired to write in my life, and I'm handing lyrics out like it's Christmas. Even started using all these old lyrics sitting in my notes app. And they're SICK!

I don't usually like to go sweaty when I play single player games, but I've been playing Borderlands 4 on hard mode and I'm really enjoying it. So far the most difficult part has been trying to play it on PC.

I found a website that actually makes decent AI metal music. Imma fuck around with it. Cuz honestly the only way to make the music I wanna make is if I do it myself, and since I can't play guitar that well and I've literally never played the drums, this could change the game for me.
Maybe.

The plan isn't to live in my car forever, obviously, but the plan also wasn't to live in my car in the first place, so....
Maybe I need some help with planning.

I took ANOTHER IQ test because childhood trauma. I was high tho, so I scored 119. When I was just drunk it was 128. It'd probably be higher than even that if I was sober.
I should get sober.

You're not sorry because what you said pissed me off. You're not even sorry for saying it. What you SHOULD be saying is you're sorry for trying to manipulate me and failing stupendously.

Bruh, my little "niece" (mom's best friend's daughter) tried to school me in a flash-based browser game like I ain't been playing games like this since she was in diapers.
Oh god, am I OLD???

I NEVER replay games. Once I beat the main campaign I'm usually out. I can probably name the games I've replayed on one hand....
But since I'm about 10 hours into New Game+ on #Expedition33, I guess I'll have to add another one to the list. It's somehow MORE fun the second time? #blackskygamers

I've never been lucky. I don't win contests or prizes, I'm bad at gambling, I never get crazy generous tips or find money on the ground, I've only ever been rewarded for being right. And on this settlement thing I know I'm right.
So why do I keep hoping I'm gonna get lucky?

Tomorrow I pass my probation at work, next Monday it's official. I'll be officially a permanent employee at a place for the first time since... Disneyland? Yeah, probably.

Aight, so imma gush about my new band for a minute so if you don't care move on but otherwise stay tuned for a thread probably.

I keep thinking I'm gonna have this sudden windfall from my WC settlement, but statistically there's only an 8% chance that I'll come into some massive amount of money, probably way lower when you factor in the details on my specific case.
But that's still a chance, right?
I hate having hopes.

I think I have to cut the rest of my old "family" off. For good. While I don't expect a massively life-altering change in my circumstances, at minimum my living conditions will be vastly different by summer's end. It's a new start for me, and I can't bring the past with me.

Just a reminder to The Ocean and really anyone in need of a vocalist that I'm RIGHT HERE. And I can sing pretty much anything.

Don't cry now. This is what you voted for. You wanted judges you disagreed with arrested. You wanted SENATORS you don't like to be arrested. You wanted tyranny. You wanted fascism.
This is YOUR FAULT.

In Donald Trump's America, if you say "I am Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary," you get thrown to the floor and handcuffed.

So apparently I got a raise, 5 months into the new job. Something about Board of Trustees and "salary reallocation". Whatever, extra $350/month, and apparently that's before the raise I'll get from passing probation next month AND the possibility of a "cost of living" raise coming up.

I have no doubt that my "brother" loves his wife and kids, but I also know for dn sure that he'd much rather be doing what I'm doing: Whatever the fuck I want, whenever I want to.
