Hey. ..ever have one of those days where everything you say,  write,  text or whatever comes out completely wrong and no matter if your intent was good,  coming from a loving place,  or to clarify or understand the other person better,  it's taken as the exact opposite. Well, I've been having one of those days for like a week now,  verbally with my kids,  wife,  friends,  bandmades. Normally I can resolve it if it's verbal but not this week. Texting and email forget it,  not this week. I don't know man. Maybe I have actually turned into a douche and it's taken a week for me to realize. Whatever the oposite of the midas touch is, well that's me this week. Only exception being in music, 2 weeks ago I had a dream that ended with this kick ass ac/DC song in my head. Not the first type of this dream..Anyway it rocked and was super hooky. So I was like is that some newish ac/DC song I heard like once or what. So I searched all over,  nope doesn't exist. Sang it for wife /vocalist, she was like you were just given a gift,  finish it. So I did. Played rough arrangement with the woman belting it out,  guitar,  bassist and drum machine full tilt and yeah it is pretty good. Then immediately following that my oldest son told me my song scared him. Wtf. Anyway not to look a gift horses in the mouth, but besides that. Every thing else. Has gone exactly the opposite. 

Can't say,  type,  or write anything to express myself in the truest from,  and on some occasions,  have gotten frustrated and did say stupid shit. 

Can anyone relate. Hopefully this at least came out ok.

Maybe I need to go listen to that old Neil Young song,  "why do I keep fuckin up?"

 
Every single day for me as well. You're not alone my friend.

 
thanks for your replies, much appreciated. I figured I wasn't totally alone. I try to spend a lot of time and reflect about these things because these days because I try to be the best person I can be for myself and everyone in my life., Now I am thinking lot of it has to do with my perception  of whats going on, especially with the written word when you can't hear voices see facial expressions .However, i did learn today for instance that when I get overly frustrated that my  true intent isn't getting through, that i do indeed still have the capability to react in a very uncool way and upset a friend, and after cooling down feeling bad about it. Such irony. However at least I learned something from the experience even though it was at the cost of hurting a friend, and wasting a bunch of time. That sometime's I need to slow the F down with writing and texting and remember that I am not a mind reader.

As far as spouses, and children. Well I don't think that's ever completely easy for anyone.

And I can't blame it on the big C, H, or worst of all, Alch. Because Its been a couple years since I put those down, however, it ain't over till its over as far as that stuff goes.

Never ending, works in progress.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
