The beaches will be fantastic. The food and bars/clubs should be pretty good.

Loved the game. I like the focus on fighting more than the shooting, good story and for it's good graphics (especially on rainy nights). Managed to complete it yesterday.

My day was ok, just boring
The main issue I face is that I have an infection in my toe and the IV and medication I need is out of reach of my current funds. I am not currently in my home country and I am looking for some advice on how to make money from home so I don't get worse basically. I thought of doing gofundme but then I really feel shitty to need help from others and probably 99.9% chance wouldn't get the help and would just break my heart anyways. SO, I am looking for any serious way I can earn money by something online no matter how bad or boring it may be. I really need to get back to the doctor in about two days and I just don't want to die over a simple toe infection. if you have any suggestions, please let me know. It is actually difficult to walk so my options are so limited and it sucks. I am not begging anyone for money, as i already did that with friends or ex friends near me maybe. I am just trying to find a way to get this done.
It actually isn't that expensive so that is the good news, the bad news is im stuck in side and can't really get it at all. And, I don't really have a lot of stuff to sell etc

Yeah I remember picking it up for like $8 and my expectations were low, assuming it was a GTA ripoff. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't like how the cars handled so I used motorcycles most of the time. I feel like that's a game that would do Ok with a sequel or spin off.

You can also try these remedies at home:
Soak the toe for about 15 minutes in a bathtub or bucket filled with warm water and salt. Do this three to four times a day.

Finished my last finals today, and since I'm not closing tonight my ass is going out. Totally skipping graduation though.
I still feel like I need to do homework, it's the weirdest thing.

Yeah graduation ceremonies are kinda lame... And waaaaaay too long. They should give you extra credit in your lowest class to just to attend.
What are you going to go out and do? Bar? Club? Movie? Food? Congratulations on being done!

To be honest I am not really looking for hand outs, unless I am basically about to die. I just feel tired and worried cause it's hard to walk and I don't walk much at all and worry about the issues that can come from that too.You can also try these remedies at home:

I have been going to the doctor here and they suggest I do not do the water and salt thing so I have had a hard time on showers.
I do not have insurance because I have been trying to do my own thing on a site but not sure that is going to work and my attention has been away from it because of the toe. Just a lot of unfortunate timing for sure.
I know making money fast online is really hard, I am just hoping to find a way to get it done. I know it isn't that likely, my grandmother is sending me some money at least but it isn't enough to cover all. At least it isn't that much, the medicine is around 900 dollars then I haven't asked them how much it will be to remove the nail so it isn't like I have to find a ton of money.
I am a person that worries too much anyways and it just ends up hurting me a lot more cause of my damn fear.
If I was in the US then selling on ebay etc wouldn't be so hard but not knowing the language where I am and not having any stuff here makes that impossible anyways.
I use to sell on ebay and that isn't hard, but my grandmother would never be able to do that stuff. Not really trying to get her busy and stressed anyways. Hopefully this thing will get worked out soon cause it seems to mess with my mind too much.
I got the money in my bank but the bank keeps blocking my card when i send money. I sent it a few time and it worked, then it got blocked and my grandmother went to the bank , fixed it. Was able to send again, then again today it's blocked again. Seems they would recognize it's all being sent the same way and we just talked to them about it.

Always good , i do try to consistently think of others position.
And maybe even helpful to get my mind off things.
I do want to try and enjoy going places again.
Moving can feel good to me, something new. But packing has its moments

So a kid at the High school I work at was suspected of being under the influence today...
Call into office.
He has been drinking and smells like weed.
Parents were called for permission to search him and his belongings.
Found a loaded firearm in his possession.
This is a senior with less than 10 days until graduation
Police are called.
Gun is confiscated and he gets arrested.
I was like..... "Why would you even do this"?
Classic response, "I didn't feel safe".
I sympathize but also just cant understand the logic. Don't be getting drunk and high AT school, and if you do please don't bring a F**king GUN! *sigh*
Sorry its the end of the school year and i'm going as insane as the kids are.
Some music I can blaze and chill to.... Enjoy GAF

Yeah he was in 12 grade, 10 days from being done forever. Now that's in jeopardy.
It really hit home, even tho I know it has happened more times than I would like to think. Even at my school.

I appreciate it.
I didn't feel "in danger" I was just shocked.
He is a good kid, said he had it because he felt unsafe outside school.
He claimed to have no intent to use it at school or in anger towards anyone but who knows.

Yeah, just go and get it over and done with. Your health is more important than money, even tho that sounds cliche. I wish you the best!

Hey congratulations! 40 is the new 30. Just some arbitrary number anyway. I love low-key birthdays. I'm not a big cake guy either. Hope you have a good one! What are your plans? 40 shots of tequila?

Trust me, I hear you. I have just gotten so used to being single I swear it puts girls off. Like I'm a pretty shy person but I don't appear that way... Maybe it's intimidating and that's why I don't get approached very often.
But one thing that helps me feel better is having a dog. Someone who is happy to see me when I get home every day. Someone who depends on me and loves to just hang with me.
Keep doing you man. Good luck from one single dude to another.

What gun do you use on the range? I'm in the market for a 9mm or .45I slept in today and missed my shot to go out to the range while it was quiet before everyone gets off work. Now I have to go to work myself.

Depends what I've brought with me that day.
I have a decent pile, the long guns are;
Ruger 10/22 (.22lr)
Hi-Point 995 Carbine (9mm)
Mosin-Nagant M44 (7.62x54R)
18" rifle gas AR15 (.223)
16" carbine gas AR15 (.223)
8.5" pistol AR15 (.223) (And all the AR15s can use my .22lr drop in conversion)
SAS-12 semi-auto shotgun (12ga)
And for pistols;
Beretta Neos (.22lr)
8.5" pistol AR15 (.223) (And all the AR15s can use my .22lr drop in conversion though I mostly use it in the pistol)
Citadel 1911 (9mm)
Glock 17 (9mm)
EAA Witness (.40)
Heritage Rough Rider (.22lr revolver)
Ruger LC9s (9mm)
And I have two unbuilt AR15 receivers I haven't mapped out yet. I feel like I'm missing a gun or two in my list but I can't think of what I could be leaving out.
(Edit: Remembered the LC9s. I don't shoot it much but it's literally sitting next to me in my field of view so I don't know how I forgot it)

How do you like that 1911? Looks very nice. I was thinking of a 1911, Glock, or a Springfield XD(M) because it can use the 9mm and 45

It's a great gun. Very solid, very nice for the price point. Easily the best line from Armscor. It won't impress a collector, but they can sit and spin for all I care.

Today was a good day,
Being a Network Manager, I took a phone call, checked out our cyber defense reports, wrote a couple of emails and then I played league and a bit of CS:GO. I now plan on skipping out of work 3 hours early to go get high and play farcry 5 in 4k on my new tv because it's my Friday. My gym partner can't make it today so I guess today will be a rest day.
Also, I have been in a chill mood and been listening to these gems on youtube.
The first comment for the video said to play it on .5 speed under settings... changes this whole song below.

Will get my nail removed monday. Not looking forward to it cause of how they do.
The shots get super deep and paunful as hell and my leg already hurts.
Wish i had a switch now.
We use to have hamsters but they are too easy to die i feel.
Would like to get more pets in the future when im able.

Woke up today with hundreds of emails from Ebay. I haven't logged into Ebay in over 10 years. Apparently someone got into my account and made a fake listing selling lightbulbs, then used hundreds of other fake accounts to buy these lightbulbs. I had thousands of dollars sitting in my Ebay account and was getting an email about every 2 minutes from someone saying "I didn't order this!".
