Things that suck...and one thing that helps when things suck

[UNCGrad]

Intro: I don't know, I thought maybe this might help. I have a few things that I think suck - not life-changing things (though they can be) - but also have things that do not suck, and those make me glad to have them as a distraction.

I thought maybe those things that do help you might help some of us, too. Maybe it's a book recommendation or band or show or life lesson, whatever.

Anyway, what stupid things suck for me right now?

UNC basketball sucks, Trump back in office sucks, Duke winning the national title will suck and smug MAGA people suck.

What doesn't suck is our new beagle, Steven Hyden's "There Was Nothing You Could Do" and finding the band Sammy Rae and The Friends.

Come join us Washington and Washington-adjacent folks on the Commanders/Capitals bandwagon. It's kind of fun right now. That's all I've got.

Already there with the Commies. Been an NFL free agent for a while, and I think I've found a home via the bandwagon. Need a hoodie next. Give me all the Daniels love.

Things that suck: Oregon State Beavers alum/fan (deserted by almost all of the conference). A's fan, Warriors fan, Raiders fan growing up in the East Bay (they all deserted the East Bay).
Things that don't suck: My parents moved up to Oregon closer to family and I can spend more time with them and help them out with appointments and such. And dogs. Period.

 

[Driftwood]

Things that don't suck: fishing, beer, bbq, Jimmy Buffett.

 

[I Should Coco]

Things that suck at this particular moment: Waiting to board a flight to Las Vegas at SeaTac and several dude bros and their babes are loudly and proudly dropping f-bombs and other foul language in a seating area with lots of kids and senior citizens sitting nearby.

Things that don't suck: I will be spending the next three days in Vegas with my wife and other family members. And not working!

 

[Flip Wilson]

One thing that doesn't suck: People who know how to correctly spell Jimmy Buffett's last name.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Sucks: Trump, I'm an alumni/fan of a school that they're trying to contract out of division I athletics, east coast Trailblazers fan thinking Jody Allen might be Rachel Phelps, we said goodbye to our dog last month.

Doesn't suck: My family has its health, I still have writing opportunities despite putting more effort into waxing my car than my career through most of my life, we still have another dog.

 

[Spartan Squad]

Things that suck: Dodgers buying every good player. Son being sick today.

Things that don't suck: Not having to go through an entire school day with no free period; the mom on Little Angel kids songs; the prospect of a nap if little man takes one.

 

[qtlaw]

Things that suck: Curry being just another guy now and W's mediocrity; SFG's mediocrity and refusal to spend; US (as a collective) embracing division rather than "one nation under God indivisible".

What doesn't suck: 60 degrees and sunny in Northern California; 12 pm tee time Friday with sunny skies; healthy family; Severence Season 2.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Things that suck: the knowledge that my parents are getting older and that someday they both won't be here; Trump, the Republican Party, timid and gossipy media, Hal Steinbrenner getting outspent by the Dodgers (OK, First World problem), the Jets, the Giants, mediocre AEW, my wife's short hairstyle, my bone-on-bone right knee.

Things that don't suck: My improved bowling average, winning my fantasy baseball league and my fantasy football league in the same year (yeah, I know. Nobody gives a …), got some cool vacations lined up, mostly enjoyable job with good co-workers and a new boss who is just as supportive as my former one; my weightlifting workouts; my family, my wife having her own business that helps people and makes her a lot of money after having a very rough start in life; The Royal Rumble and WrestleMania season are coming up; roughly three more weeks until pitchers and catchers …

my wife's short hairstyle made me laugh out loud. Awesome, stuff.
