From personal experience, no facts on this one.

  • People who YOU call friends, THEY don't think of you as a friend, but as a resource to benefit themselves.

  • Being nice and helpful to others now draws drama and grief towards you when in the past, it did none of that.

  • People in your circle WILL proactively try and keep you down for whatever reason, jealously comes to mind

  • Walking on egg shells around people is bad for your mental health, trial by fire is one way to filter friend from foe.

  • The power of friendship is still a real thing but first you must count on the most important person in your life, you, yourself and I (not me, I'm done helping).



There was no lessons learnt in 2025, it was purely a confirmation on things I've suspected for a long time.d

30.December.2025 21:59 | boxy | thing i saw on twitter


a quote from his blogpost about when congressman swalwell (remember: fang fang) joked about the govt using nukes against anyone who would even think of an uprising against the govt. the boogaloo movement was right around that same time. the mainstream media attributed the movement to far-right which was (and is) laughable; there were a ton of gun-owning lefties who supported it. cowabunga it is.

sorry bros
it feels like a normal day

we're probably not doing anything for new year's night. i may have that chimay grand i've had in the fridge for like two years while we watch the stranger thangs finale. gotta get that slop on the day of then mute it forever.

2025 was a rough one.

in the process of rewriting some css to allow mobile usage. it pulls posts and whatnot from a text file using a "#include virtual". there are a lot of these.

links, posts, spotify, themes..

or any post over X days, which is not 30 or 50 days of which it is set. broke shit that will never get fixed.

they're now 720x480, i think.

i didn't want to math out the ratio 3:4/16:9/etc for 745px h. whatever that turns into.

[edit]

the internet did the math for me, it's 16:9 and whatever falls after

22.December.2025 14:29 | boxy | mom died 26 years ago today
going to go see her grave and do some area maintenance.

time doesn't make the pain go away; your memory just fades. i can barely see her face in my head.

the original headstone has places for two bodies; dad had told sister he doesn't plan on being buried beside her.

sister and i are considering getting the headstone changed, if it's not too terribly expensive. maybe centering the plaque and adding flourishes on the sides. i remember she really enjoyed new orleans and france.

she was a schoolteacher by trade before becoming a mother. taught the french language to public students and later college. saw the eifel tower in the 70s, the louvre, paris..

a heavy heart breaks when i remember.

19.December.2025 13:17 | boxy | absolute fuckups
in the time i have been on this earth, i have noticed that people who are extreme fuckups get rewarded - out of pity or whatever. "oh he's had it rough with XYZ, have some empathy."

don't care

if you stay the course, do what is expected, and stray ever so slightly out of line.. it's your retarded ass of whomstve is punished by society or family. take your pick. it's all the same.

step mother's sister's son (whew) is a total fuckup. he's been in jail, rehab, jail again, rehab again, got caught writing bad checks and ultimately got a slap on the wrist and an ankle monitor. 50 years old, btw. grown-ass adult.

why

how many chances does one get to not become an absolute fuckup?

they called me the other day asking if i wanted dad's truck. since his stroke, driving is out of the question. i thanked them, but said i have a vehicle. so it's been decided that [dude] will receive it. because "oh he's had it rough with XYZ, have some empathy." sorry, i'm all out of empathy for grown-ass adults not being able to handle their shit and stay out of jail.

it's not a difficult ask.

evidently it is.

better reward the absolute fuckup with a truck he will probably pawn for a fraction of its value.

16.December.2025 17:43 | boxy | archives
fixed the archive. used AI (grok) because i am lazy as absolute shit. 5000 nvidia ai cards sprang to life for a fraction of a second to spit out some ajax javascript code. it does work rather well. single page shtml with a bunch of "include virtual"s.

content table is not centered, but that would require me to go into the archive style within coranto and edit it. i aint doing all that.

16.December.2025 12:26 | boxy | the holidays, 2025
depression is a hell of a thing.

christmas is in nine days. i haven't shopped or even looked at anything. i have no interest. at all.

it's unreal how very little i want to do anything, let alone participate in the holidays. dad's stroke sapped all the life out of me. patiently waiting for the next panicked phonecall.

bought the computer part list like two months ago and it's sitting in a pile on the kitchen floor; can't find the time(energy) to dedicate to that. but there's plenty of time to watch military maneuvers of the roman army or power washing driveways on youtube for hours on end.

doing official "therapy", but it's just me waffling on about shit that doesn't matter to a neutral third party. it doesn't even help, getting [thing] off my chest. doesn't change the now.

it's going to take me to pull myself out of the hole, but my god, is it deep.

i rarely make new years' resolutions. definitely never stick to them. 2026 will be the year that changes. "but you could do [thing] right now." you are correct. but remember, i am extremely lazy and retarded.

going to get fit and/or yoked.

11.December.2025 10:34 | soc | I am Tired
It's hard being the linchpin that keeps everything going. The past couple of years has been, tiring more than anything else. Putting others before yourself is the cornerstone of being a good person but there are times I wish people would get up on their own or least show equal effort.

Least I found adding more protein helps massively. I think I'll need to start taking a normal dosage of that fine creatine all the gym bros talk about.

Also got A LOT of snow before Christmas which never happens here. It all froze over this morning so clearing the end of the driveway on a busy road with brown drivers is already dangerous, add that I have to use a snow shovel to break up the ice cause trying that with your new 2 stage snow blower isn't wise.
