With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what's happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what's going on that you're looking forward to?

The Superman movie.

I’m a pro musician. I was in a big rock band in the mid 2010s, and we were doing all kinds of cool shit. It imploded over stuff that didn’t really involve me, but following that, I went into a serious drunk-depression that lasted years and almost killed me.

I cleaned up, going on two years sober, have a new band together, and are about to open ourselves up to the world and start booking shows. It’ll be my first shows completely sober since like 2012. It’s terrifying, but I’m excited as hell.

Punk rock music has fallen by the wayside. Time to try and bring it back to life. 🤘

Donald Trump's death. Really gonna enjoy that whenever it comes

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm going to throw a party.

And Putin and Bibi, basically all power hungry war mongering old fucks

This! I’m not a drinker but the day Donny dies I’m gonna get fucking trashed and celebrate.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I was just thinking of that. I imagined the US military actually serves it's purpose to defend the constitution, attempts to arrest trump, he resists and then he dies.

Is just wishful thinking tho...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

we gotta make sure Vance dies first

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I'm not concerned about Vance as much as I am Trump. We'll worry about Vance next.

Graduating college next week. Finally have a degree to my name. Been a long 2 years of crazy studying

The day I quit my current job.

I've been with this company for a few years. I grew in it and had a great time. My boss however decided to take over my job, and slowly I've been going back to tasks I was no longer doing since I had other responsibilities, while he takes over my tasks and ruins what I've been building for years.

It's been painful to see that, but extremely painful to see the mood of the team changing to the worse, and just having a sense of less productivity.

It's a lost cause at this point. So I'm just looking for the day where I get to leave.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I'm looking forward to my plants growing.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.

Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we'll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it's own, even more so when I'll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.

Long term: our wedding next year! There's still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It's all very exciting!!

[-] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

Going to the UK in October, looking forward to it!

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

A future wave and welcome, bring your brolly! Whereabouts will you be visiting?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I've always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can't wait!

Music is central to my life, so upcoming releases, gigs, clubnights and festivals are my escapism drugs. That and uh, the actual drugs

Going to the wedding of some close friends too in July, they're great people so I'm sure it'll be a blast!

Finally, slowly but surely making progress on my house which I bought three years(!) ago, both in terms of much needed maintenance and filling out with furniture. Still lots to be done!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Exciting! Enjoy the ride, my friend!

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago

Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it's hard to see much of a future - there isn't one here for me. It's unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I'm paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I'm out this summer.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Good for you. First thing when you land in a place you like and can afford is to build a strong and reliable support system. Good luck to you!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Thank you. I'm a mega-loner hermit and where I'm going is a very small town. If there's a place for me in the community there I'll give it a shot, but even if not, I still think I'll be a lot better off than I am now.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Getting out of Texas! As of Wednesday I'll be heading north and leaving the southern US completely.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Eventually not living anymore.

After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I'm leaving that and getting my very own bees. I'm very excited at the prospect!

Also, at the end of this year I'm going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I'm quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Figuring out why I'm sick! I saw a new doctor today. The staff was nice. Every single time I step foot in the office, my blood will be stolen. Exciting!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

how long have you been searching? I once heard the average time of diagnosis is 10 years and I believe it. I'm on year 6 myself

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

For the most recent things that they're actually taking seriously? Around a year. I've been sick though for longer, but they don't take that very seriously so idk.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Good luck! I hope the docs come up with solutions as well as a diagnosis, and you recover.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Hopefully! Today was just intake. They took all my blood. Okay, a lot of blood.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

That's how vampire mafia works

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

See, that's what some other people told me as well! I'm fine if the vampires want my possibly tainted blood, just as long as they send some of it to testing to find out what's wrong!

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

My Rollerblades should be here Wednesday! Last I had a pair I was probably 17, but I started playing Bomb Rush Cyberpunk (spiritual successor to Jet Grind Radio) and was instantly hit with the urge to get back out there.

The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

I'm working on a freelancing project for a company that's going to be paying me over $5k for the work I've done. I don't know what I'm going to be using the money for but it'll be nice to not have to worry about money for a while.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Building a fence. It's really going to improve my life.

It'll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.

I've built a lot of fences.

A number of artists I like have had/will have shows here around Seattle this year, and I decided to combat the inertia by splurging and buying tickets to most of them. I always did love live shows (but damn, have they gotten more expensive).

I've already seen Eddie/Suzy Izzard, who was as delightful as always. Soon will be seeing Pixies, The Offspring, Josh Johnson, Demetri Martin.... I think I'm forgetting somebody.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

The Pixies are touring? What year is this?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I know--I can't believe how lucky I am to have a chance to see them. I thought that possibility had long since passed.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

My first therapy appointment tomorrow, which is way overdue. Somehow lucked out that there was someone in-network, checked all the boxes I needed, and literally 3 buildings over from my work.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

The Winds of Winter being released. Surely its coming any day now...

But for real, the youngest is going to school in September so I will have an extra day off in the week with no work and no kids.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

The sweet oblivion of death. No seriously, oblivion sounds awesome. Like that time I had surgery, but without the waking up afterwards part at the end.

My oldest daughter is giving birth later this month. It's not my first grandchild, but it'll be the first one I get to have in my life. (Long story, in short one of my daughters didn't take her mom and dad's divorce well, nor her mom's subsequent marriage to me.)

So a new chapter of life begins. Concurrent with all the other ongoing chapters, of course....

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

My daughter is turning 12 and going to secondary school after summer. I'm hopefully graduating my bachelor after summer. My wife is starting nursing school after summer.

Lots to look forward to.
