    A Twitter post led me to believe there was a new TYT episode today...

    ...But no.

    It was a repost of one of Makaryo's parodies.

    Carry on.

    Life and Misc. Updates

    Well, no new Tell Your Tale episode this week, that's why you folks didn't get a blog on Thursday.

    No weight loss updates, either; I've maintained my fasting, but I've plateaued at 280 for the time being. More routine exercise would probably push me past the plateau, but as everyone in the Midwest can attest to, False Spring is quickly giving way to Second Winter.

    Tell Your Tale: Cracked It

    "Stick to the smoothies, Sunny."

    I think this is the very first time I've found myself agreeing with Posey.

    So this episode is a little entertaining, even if it's pure filler at the end of the day.

    Couple things today...

    First off, happy 19th birthday to Cosmo the Seedrian, one of the most unique, tragic, and underutilized characters in the Sonic franchise.

    Secondly, I've started playing Minecraft again for the first time in eight years.

    I'd like to apologize in advance to all my other hobbies.

Gotta Love The Silent Treatment · 7:15am Apr 13th, 2014

I think I'm done sharing my financial goals and aspirations with my mom.

Told her I wanted to start saving up for a gaming computer once I had some emergency funds set aside. She started nagging on me for not saving up for a car, and not coming to visit.

When I saw her a month ago. And at Thanksgiving. And at Xmas.

But sure, what the hell, as long as it's taken me to re-open my savings account and put $1000 in there, let's spend several thousand on a car, adding gas, annual plates, maintenance, and insurance when I've spent nearly the past year happily walking and biking to my two jobs.

Yeah, I'm not going to go into a rant that lasts paragraphs. I'm just gonna be ready to accept my position as the black sheep of the family.

Fuck this.

I can relate to being the black sheep...
Fuck it. If my biological family wishes to look upon me in that manner, let them.

I DO have a REAL family in my heart, and they see me as someone they truly care about.

I say do what YOU feel you need to do for yourself. Those of us who care about you, the ones who look up to you, WE will be there for you, and cheer you on.

It ain't easy bein' a black sheep, Boo. Life's like that.

2005815 Part of me looks forward to it. Hell, if they knew who I really was? The politically incorrect bisexual that might have a kink or two? I think half of their heads would explode. I'm getting sicker of hiding who I am.

The feeling is mutual, buddy. The feeling is soooooooo mutual...

Mums are never going to be happy.

2005816
I can understand that perfectly. Fuck, my family's accepting and all, but even I think a few brains might leak out of a few noses if they knew who I really am.

2005816
The kink thingie is just because sex is a taboo to talk about (unrightfully so), but you should be able to tell your family that you're bisexual and don't care about being politically correct all the time.

Well... Just try to realize that it's not just you or your mom...

It seems that all moms are hard-coded that way.

They all want you to have more of what they think is the 'right stuff', and are really bad at saying it in a suitable manner. They don't understand that ideas of what this 'right stuff' is changes with each generation. Heck, in theory, your great grandmother would be telling you to buy a horse right now.

Here is the secret that I found for dealing with Mom...

Just agree with her. She won't be yelling at you if she thinks you are on her side. If it's something you really feel strongly about, you can always change your mind when she is no longer nearby.

A car is always a black pit that keeps taking your money. Even if you just let it stand in an garage its still keeps costing a lot more money then you think it should, and don't forget about parking meters or the occasionally parking ticket.
It does however grant a lot of freedom with getting around and like me who hate to commute I would not trade it for anything.

Ps: Never get a big car people will allways ask you for helt with moving xD

I'm warning you, don't be like that. First, who cares if you consider yourself the black sheep of the family? I mean like really? Your mom wants you to get a car to visit more often? Then you should. Your mom clearly loves you if she wants to see you. Visiting only 3 times a year is pitiful. If I was your sibling I would beg for more visits too.

Never say "screw them" to your family. NEVER! Only say that if they themselves say "screw you."

This comes from a son of a heartbroken mother who has lost 2 daughters to a rebellion much worse than yours.

2006073 That's not three times a year. That was the last three times.

Hey, that sounds smart as long as your job isn't too far off.

im literally the black sheep. my siblings look nothing like me, im not athletic and I don't like being around people. I am the opposite of all of them to a degree of pi.

I read this and I see an issue with how priorities are being viewed. Your mom wants to see you more probably because she just wants to connect with you. It's possible she sees having a car as part of the rite of being a responsible adult, but you have your own agenda and your own priorities which might seem extraneous to her. Not having a car doesn't seem to mean a whole lot to you since you can bike and have public transportation at your fingertips, it would be extra to you (and maybe even extraneous) since your priorities are towards the hobbies you've built for yourself. This is where your life is and that is perfectly fine.

You are an adult. You've proven you can be responsible, working two jobs and squirreling away your money; perhaps this is just your mom's way of trying to show you she cares the best way she knows how. Your lifestyle is clearly different to her, otherwise you might have not made a point of bringing it up, and she still loves you otherwise she wouldn't want to see more of you.

I wish you the best :eeyup:

If you can function without a car, you don't need a car.

Just point this out to her. It'll maintain fitness, something many people seem to have trouble with.
