Normally I'd put this under the bitch about life thread but today I'm looking at it from a different perspective.

This made me happy. Lord Sewel resigns after 'snorting cocaine with two prostitutes

Just to highlight the absurdity of having "Lords" or many other titles including "Your Highness" for Lizzy Windsor (our German Queen). Oh and I'm particularly exasperated with "Lord" Sewel receiving £85,000 as chairman of, and get this, The Lords' Privileges and Conduct Committee.
My wife got me a super cute little puppy in the basket wicker toy for my desk. Really cute.
I got some eastern incense and ritual candles, in preparation for the "unsealing of Amaterasu" ceremony, which is just before August 1st. This year i will get the blessing of the goddess and undertake the trial of the waterfall; to become in name a warrior, long story short, as per ancient traditions that nowadays very few keep and fewer even know of.

My training is almost complete.
Saturday, the wife and I drove a few hours for my birthday present: a day at www.driveatank.com

Got to, well, drive a tank! And shoot guns! Part of the safety talk was "You're not here to fire a fully automatic weapon in short bursts. You're here to fire it fully automatic. Squeeze the trigger and hold it!" Yes, Sir!

She got me the base package so it was one tank and one gun - a Sten - and then I bought her some time with the Sten (she loved it) and I also bought some time with an M1 Garand. They had a Browning 1919 set-up, and they also pulled out an MG42. I think someone else might have opted in with the Barrett 50 but we had to get going and ended up missing that one. I was tempted to get some of that machine gun action but ultimately couldn't resist the lure of the M1.

I would definitely go do that again.

Oh yeah, they also recently bought a Sherman and got it working. An older couple bought that package for the day so we got to see it in action. Pretty cool.
Well, among other things, GOGer Amrit9037 gifted me Paper Sorcerer totally out of the blue. That was a day-maker, for sure!
I can play 'life is strange' ep4
Reading this article

I always loved reading and always had books to read, I'm happy that this kid now has some too.
Finally seeing Albion on gog today (which I bought without hesitation) and can't wait to play it again when I get home.
A joint
Today, something i could never imagine, happened. I swear, i am never going to pirate ANYTHING, anymore. End of piracy, period. I had pirated some stuff before. Stuff which worked really well for me, on me and even on others, on my behest. I was seriously troubled by the fact i pirated them, instead of buying them, online. So i wrote an email to the person who owns and sells those, just to thank him and apologize, because this stuff worked almost miraculously well, for me. And good person replied to me, by sending me his entire online collection which is meant for sale, for free, so "i could be rid of the guilt and the bad action i did, theft".

I am so moved, so sorry, so self-humiliated by my unscrupulous theft, that i swear out to everyone, loud and clearly, to never steal anything anymore. Piracy = Theft, end of story. Never again.

Are you out of your mind? You've gone completely sideways.

But another man's loss is my gain. There's that much more supply of smoke and drink now available for my consumption and enjoyment. That makes me happy.
