I don't do uppers or smoke cigarettes but I do fancy my liquor ... and somehow I'm still in the same shape I was 10 years ago.

I'm really tired of gluten intolerance being a blanket term for perfectly normal people who sometimes feel a little bloated after they gorge themselves on disgusting shit. The only people who are legitimately affected by gluten are those (such as myself) who have celiac disease. There are at least three other people in my lineage that are alive today who have been diagnosed with it.

My aunt was on death's doorstep when she was diagnosed. It took her less than a year to go from a healthy, proportionate woman to a 91-pound, frail, ill one. She was eating normally, but none of the food she was eating was being properly digested and she was constantly in the bathroom with an upset stomach. She would have died within the year without her diagnosis and without being able to figure out how to change her diet in order to nourish her body.

I was diagnosed about 5-7 years later. My hair was like straw, and it was falling out. I weighed 99 pounds - down from about 120 at the time (which I'd really love to feel again but not in that manner) despite eating just the same as the rest of my family. Several times a week I fainted just walking from my bedroom to the kitchen. I was so sick that I missed a lot of school, couldn't focus on anything. Everything I ate just made me sicker. I've always had digestive issues but they reached their peak severity when I was about 15.

For people with celiac, gluten is poison. Notice how I said "people with celiac".

So THAT's why there's a handrail in the restroom on the train.

of course, man.

some people just have the atomic shits.

I think San Francisco has got to be the worst city in the country in terms of housing. Landlord decided to raise the rent starting next month and I actually still have a really great deal as most rooms in my current neighborhood are at least 1100$. Who the **** can afford that? Working on minimum wage that is literally 90% of a paycheck and we have the highest minimum wage in the country. What the ****. We finally passed a bill to raise minwage to 15$/hour starting next year but it's a gradual process and won't actually reach that much until like 2018. ****ing wage slavery is bull****.

I'm going to punch the little girl sitting behind me in her stupid ****ing face and go all Slug Bait on her pregnant mom. They both deserve worse.

You're a wicked boy.

Goddamm Satan settle down

But you're so proud of him, aren't you?

Losing my fucking mind browsing records on eBay tonight.

There's a few holes in my collection that I've been trying to fill as time and money allow.

I thought I'd found a pretty good deal for a record in great shape, according to the seller's grading.

Seriously, if the records you're trying to sell look like they've gone through the fucking dishwasher after you found them in a dumpster behind a strip club, just throw them in the damn garbage or make a decorative piece out of them. Nobody wants to ruin their needles on your shitty records!

Or at least grade them properly and drop the price down to where it belongs. If I saw that in a shop I wouldn't pay more than $3 for it.
