Jays Win in 2014 Thread
Smedley Butler replied to Cooler Heads Prevail's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I'm scared to start believing. I just know that the second I get my hopes up we'll fall flat on our faces. I shall continue to listen on the radio whilst dying repeatedly on Dark Souls II, as this has been my chosen method of following the team lately during this successful period and, yes, I AM that superstitious. -
Liek OMG calm the fack down bruh.

I love how you fail to see the blinding hypocrisy of labelling me as being someone who constructs false narratives of others in order to belittle them, whilst you construct a false narrative of me in order to try and belittle me. I sincirely hope you aren't a lawyer, because you'd be terrible at it. Crafting cogent arguments clearly isn't a strong suit of yours.

Uh oh, Rev. Moogy seems upset. Nothing an imaginary orgy can't fix. Rofl

"Everyone is doing it" in terms of sugar/caffeine and to a lesser degree alcohol. Stop trying so hard to twist my words and derail what was a satisfying conversation. You're neither wanted nor needed here, go back to arguing projections in that other thread.

You may have read that somewhere, but my observations of people in the real world refute this assertation with extreme prejudice. You wouldn't know anyway, you have no credibility to speak on this subject as you lack experience. I interact with crackheads every day as I live and work downtown, there is no comparison between them and cocaine addicts, never mind recreational cocaine users such as myself and my friends and acquaintances. You should meet my lawyer friends, they would piss themselves laughing as you called them crackheads whilst they snorted powder on the weekend. The world isn't nearly as black-and-white as you desperately seem to want it to be.

Yup, if you can break the addiction by not consuming any carbs/sugars for like a week or so, you're home free. Me too, candy and whatnot actually began to disgust me, but the moment you slip up once or twice, you're back to square one. For me it was a buddy moving in to a spare bedroom for 2 months when he sold his house; he filled my cupboards with processed snackfoods, left packs of cookies and s*** lying around......ugh. motherf***er, glad I cut him off a few months back, people like him I don't need in my life. Lol

Alcohol isn't a "drug", it's just a drug. As is sugar. As is caffeine. People don't like hearing this, but so what? Everyone is an addict in this society, we all just have different drugs of choice. Food is the biggie, we're all hardwired to seek out fats, salt and sugar. Every tried cutting out ALL sugar and carbs (the same thing, to your body)? I have, and holy f***ing s*** is it ever hard. Look up ketosis.

I don't drink and I hardly ever go out during the week, though. But no, I wouldn't be likely to turn it down, just as I wouldn't be likely to turn down anything that I enjoy at any time. My willpower is severely lacking, which is why I limit my opportunities to indulge. If I enjoy something, I want to do it all the time, unfortunately, no matter WHAT it is. I have the brain of an addict unfortunately, and so I control myself by limiting my exposure to opportunities to get f***ed up. That said, tonight I stayed in, and stayed sober. I'm bored as hell. Lol

Lol beat me to it. I was just about to post that EC is expecting wayyyy too much from a kid.

You didn't drink enough to get addicted. Cocaine is very addictive, yet I can do it on the weekends and not physically crave it during the week. You need to habituate your brain to the substance to get hooked, intermittent use is safe, unless we're talking something like meth, crack or heroin where the addiction threshold is much lower.
-
Ahhh, gotcha. I assumed you were a raging alcoholic like half the rest of this board.
-
No.
-
Not "of sorts", it just is. It's an addictive, mood-altering substance that can f***ing KILL YOU if you've been abusing it for long enough and try to detox cold-turkey.
-
Alcohol is a drug. Don't be a self-righteous hypocrite.

Spankerson smokes weed and pops/snorts oxys? You just got a tiny bit cooler in my book. But only just. -
I never understood the concept of days off in baseball for anything other than psychological reasons. I mean, FFS this is pretty much the only sport where obese lardasses can succeed without their fatness being an attribute, such as a lineman in the NFL. Baseball isn't exactly intense cardio-wise, they spend 90% of their time standing around or sitting down.

They've released 3 since SFTD, their latest one being last spring. "Keep your eyes peeled" from the latest one gives me a chubby whenever I put it on. Yeah, they were going for a gritty, lo-fi sound on the two albums that came after SFTD methinks.
-
Just curious, which qotsa album was it?

"f*** it all, and no regrets I hit the lights on these dark sets....." -shrug-

Ehhh, we only gave up what would be our current starting C and 2B for the guy, no harm no foul.

We take 1 of 3, I'm content. 2 of 3, we party. -
Queens of the stone age, Tool, slipknot, nine inch nails, smashing pumpkins, the prodigy, radiohead, them crooked vultures, a perfect circle....... Just no metallica.
-
Rofl Seriously though. Only metallica song I've heard that I liked was St. Anger, although I've never really sat through their albums to be a better judge, mainly just heard their singles and better known stuff, to be honest. But what I HAVE heard didn't do it for me. One of my buddies tried to turn me on to Sepultura. "Roots" is great, love to lift to that s***, but all else sucked. Slipknot is really the only metal I love, and even then they're pretty commercial, not at all hardcore.

Slipknot > metallica
