Brad wants me to use my bad back to get out of going to his cousin's wedding today. But if we do that, I can't put out on any social media that we are seeing Ty Segall tonight. Decisions, decisions.

I'm pretty sure seeing Ty Segall live has been proven to have therapeutic benefits. Just think of him as your healer. No one could argue with that logic.

That's easy, just don't post about it. You don't have anyone going with you that will tag you and mess you up, like we've had happen to us before.

I'll be sure and ask on FB if you enjoyed that Ty Segall show.

Thai language has a lot of amazing words that English doesn't. My favorite is "tum jai", which is the idea that there is no sense in getting worked up over stuff that you can't control.
- Recently my bus was 2 hours late, I was complaining about it to my girlfriend who replied with a simple "tum jai". Damn, she was right. Why sit around and pout over a late bus? It isn't going to serve any purpose other than making my wait that much more miserable. - Last night my internet was not working and I couldn't watch the first half of the U of L football game. It was frustrating to me, but a simple "tum jai" put things back into perspective. It's just the damn internet.
On a more severe note it can even be applied to things like losing your wallet - getting upset/angry/whatever won't get the wallet back.
All this fits into their concept of "mai pen rai" which can be translated to "no worries" but really it carries a much deeper meaning. It's a phrase that is really ingrained in the Buddhist tradition of the country (something like 98% of the population is Buddhist, and they're all pretty devout about it). What it really means is don't sweat the future or the past. Enjoy the present and be thankful for this moment. Late for work? - Mai pen rai, it happens to all of us. Almost get run over by a truck? Mai pen rai, you're still alive. etc etc. Accept and move on.
Thai language has a lot of bothersome words too. One that sticks out to me is "kreng jai" which is associated with the whole Asian concept of saving face.
Kreng jai means that no one wants to make anyone else lose face. If you do something wrong no one is going to tell you. If you suck at your job, instead of being told how you can improve, they'll just find a way to quietly get rid of you. If you inadvertently do something offensive no one will tell you, which means you'll probably keep doing it. It's also the reason no one here likes to have "debates" - because no one wants to make anyone else look bad.
This gets frustrating. If I do something wrong I want to know so I can never do it again! I miss having "arguments" about things.

So little to my knowledge the wife invited our friends over for margaritas. Juicing the homegrown limes, mixing up the simple syrup. Couple of bottles of tequila. Guess I shouldnt have been drinking for four quarters of the UT - oklahoma game.

So I'm scrolling through a list of upcoming shows in San Antonio, and I see Limp Bizkit is playing.
Confession: I was in high school when Limp Bizkit got huge, and I was very into them. I had Limp Bizkit and Korn patches on my backpack...I was definitely a cool kid
Thankfully, my musical tastes matured, and I can't help but laugh at how amazing I thought Significant Other was. So, out of morbid curiosity, I see where they're playing and how much tickets are.
Tickets run $35-$50! For motherfucking Limp Bizkit!
Let me repeat that, people are paying $50+ to see Fred Durst in 2014. I was assuming they'd play some dive bar for $10 cover. And looking at the best ticket available, it looks like it's sold relatively well. I'm confused.

Unlike you, not everyone's tastes have matured and developed like a fine wine. The demographic that enjoyed them years ago now have the disposable income to throw away on such a "treasure" from their golden days.
