How am I coping with my dads death?
I'm smoking about a pack a day.
I'm drinking too much.
Crying every now and then.
Working.
"smoking".
Driving too slow and having mini-panic attacks when someone ELSE is driving.
Sleeping.
Reading.
Obviously I'm coping in the healthiest way possible, eh?
A week before the accident my cable was cut-off (due to me not paying the bill). With the cable went my internet. I was planning on paying to have my service re-connected, but then "things happened", and my extra money went towards grave-blankets and vet bills (my parents had the animals in the car with them when they got in the accident).
And now my money is going towards beer and cigarettes.
I'd like to have the internet back. Then again- it's almost too much of a hastle. I can't describe it. It's too much of a hastle to call people, go over to their houses, or go out after work. I always want to be around people now, but I don't have the energy to MAKE the contact.
Thankfully my friends are good enough to notice this. My phone is always ringing, people are always stopping by, and everyone is going out of their way to be there for me. I love this. I appreciate it. I need it.
I just don't understand why it seems impossible for ME to initiate the contact.
In any event- this post is just me doing the "impossible".
"Hello Everyone". (damn it I actually miss some of you guys!)
Oh, and if anyone wants to make it easy for me- I'd gladly accept $167.00. I'd have internet if you donated!
Oh come on! Do it!

I trust it will make it to you in a sensible currency, but my apologies if you wind up with Sterling instead!
You'll just have to come over to the UK to spend it!

As long as you are coping, don't worry. If, in a month you feel like you haven't made any progress, then seek help, but give yourself some time and don't worry about it.

wiggles, what are you selling?? rare Who bootlegs? first edition dr doolittles?????
corn - you will not get a cent of my money, i'm still waiting for my own ubersite donation appeal to bear fruit. however, i WILL donate an item to be AUCTIONED. i see you already have offers of semen and penis molds so i'm not sure what to put up. maybe just something simple and tasteful like an autographed photo? that's bound to attract massive bidding wars.
note: uberauctions for a good cause, another brilliant shandy idea to be ignored and ridiculed.

I'll donate some of my semen to the cause...I'm positive there's a cash value to it.
On a serious note, I ended up on medication after my dad died 10 years ago while on vacation in Vegas. He was only 55 so it hit hard.
The booze and cigarettes helped me and still do, so you're on the right path.

Vegas isn't going to happen. My sister is getting married in april, then my good friends are getting married the week after her wedding (in vegas), and then I'm in another wedding in june...
There's really no way I can afford two vegas trips that close together, let alone all those damn bridesmaid dresses and stuff.

Well, once I've sold some shit on ebay (January), I'll paypal you a few bucks. If you have paypal.
All tragedies aside, you write great stuff, and therefore deserve internet.

i usually dont post when im here on uber... dont ask me why. i guess im a lazy fuck.
im sorry to hear about your pops...really i am.
i won't tell you how you should cope with your loss, thats certainly not my place.
i always enjoyed reading your writings, and i hope you find your way soon.
if you really need help with your bill, and since this is the season for giving, tell me how i can send some funds.

ive decided to camp on your post corn_nugget.
no actually i simply want to say to the person who rated below this that he's right, alcohol is a depressant, but not the type of depressant he is referring to as that is a misnomer. It doesn't mean that it causes depression of the mental variety it means that is causes depression of the central nervous system, two totally different things.

Wicked bummer. One of my old friends and drummers died yesterday from a stroke - fucking sucks. Certainly makes you think about and appreciate life, family, friends, and memories more than usual. You might want to cut down on the booze a bit - that can be a real depressant if you make it part of a daily routine. The good thing is that time usually does heal all wounds.

Beer and cigarettes can be a good investment in times like these.
I went to lot of movies when my dad died. Having a two-hour break from my own reality helped.
Lean on your friends as much as you can too. Being with people who you can laugh with is always good.

You're more than welcome to all the money I make on the streets this evening. Which, judging by past experience and my cornucopia of weird and wonderful yeast infections, should be about £1.87
