Oddly enough it's been a good week for me.
Last Friday had my pt job Xmas party. It's just a buddy I work for on weekends. Well he gave me a $500 bonus. My real job gives me shit.
Then on Tuesday I received a gift card from someone on here, no idea why but very happy and greatfull for.
Then today I won TOOL tickets on the radio for the show I was already getting tickets for.
So good week all in all.
Oh and I took a day and a half off too and played a lot of video games with my boys too. Fun.
Just, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    But ya. Stupid scamming people. Either it be the government or unsuspecting people who are getting scammed, it's a crock of shit. No job and Europe eh. Airfare to Amsterdam was a $1300 flight outta Detroit. I ain't got that. Let alone x2
    But wait. Maybe if I stop posting and only come on when I want something, the cash will appear outta nowhere. Hrmmmmm

  • easy I would have thought cost me about 4K to make it across to PJ20 and was only in the states from thursday late at night til tuesday morning
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    It all depends what level of comfort you need. Not counting airfare (round trip Israel - Berlin), I am thinking my 2 weeks in Europe will cost around 1000 - 1500 euro (440 of that for tickets). Land in Berlin, night train to Amsterdam (there for 3 nights - maybe find a couch to sleep on), hitch a ride to werchter (camp out for 5 nights), somehow get to Berlin and meet my wife there (stay for 4 nights - probably at a hostel).
    Still can't believe I met Mike Mccready at the Guggenheim and got a pic with him!!!!!

    2010: 9/7/10 - Bilbao
    2012: 26-27/6/12 - Amsterdam ~~ 29/6/12 - Werchter ~~ 4-5/7/12 - Berlin
    2014: 25/6/14 - Vienna ~~ 26/6/14 - Berlin

    yeah absolutely ... although I can understand the above sentiments of not necessarily wanting to explain the expense to a lot of people including family.
