Get Ready For Another Day of Misery and Hell

The futures aren’t up enough. We are going to swan dive into a pool filled with bricks. Aside from that, I placed my iPhone in water, for the second time in as many months. My big loss isn’t the phone itself. I couldn’t care less about the phone. But I keep copious notes of things, words that I am fond of, which will be lost with the new phone. All of this happened because I refuse to buy a case. Actually, I have a case; but I refuse to use it.

Now I am using my wife’s old, stupid, iPhone and I want to throw this thing into the toilet and flush it. But if I did that, guess who would have to unclog the fucking toilet? You guessed it.

You know, there is a certain tediousness to the life that I lead. Why should a loss of a phone be this upsetting? I will tell you why. It’s because there is a giant fucking black hole void in my life that causes me to go nuts when order is disrupted. Everything is in ruins, a smoldering heap of skeletons atop of environmentally friendly medical waste atop of mangled metal.

And then there’s the stock market. Jesus Christ this is the life of a certified lunatic. Not only do I have to manage money for a living and get paid 7 figures for it, I also have to come here and tell a bunch of strangers about it, leaving me open to wanton criticism and debate from the biggest assholes walking the planet.

How did my life come to this?

I remember when I made a commitment to never curse on the site again. Frankly, I don’t know why I made such a commitment, since a word is just a word. There isn’t anything inherently evil about the word “fuck” or “shit.” They might be a bit vulgar and out of place inside the home, in front of the kids. But I have to tell you, very sincerely, I don’t trust any man or woman who never curses. Anyone who believes they are pious and places themselves above a certain subset of words is deranged and most likely hiding human organs in their refrigerator.

They’re just like priests: nice on the outside, demonic guttersnipes on the inside.

    So i guess the world is falling apart. The only thing one can surmise here is that Europe is nearing complete collapse and the communists in China have suddenly developed some sort of economic morale code.

    Oil probably has a lot lower to fall….certainly not priced for a global recession.

      The Bakken is being bankrupted.

      We are stupid Americans who think that extracting oil at a cost of $70 per barrel is sustainable and going to supplant the Sauds who do it for $10.

    I don’t own one, but maybe you can take/keep notes on one of these (Kobo H2O):

    http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=c*Rz*soY0y8&subid=&offerid=314164.1&type=10&tmpid=9310&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobo.com%2Fkoboaurah2o%23overview

    There was a commercial with it on FB yesterday and the guy was reading underwater. So even if you can’t take the notes there, maybe you can PORT them there and that way when you flush your phone, you’ll still have your notes!!!

    Agreed.

    The actor who played the father and priest on the hearty family show “7th Heaven” confessed to molesting little children.

      Ironically, that actor was my wife’s favorite actor or all time. She adored that show. I always thought it was a piece of shit, unrealistic display of human fantasy.

      I now get to say “your favorite actor is a pedophile.” Another win for Le Fly.

    Somewhat reminiscent of the Robert Duvall detective character in Falling Down who refuses to curse until he is pushed too far and says to his superior: “Fuck you….Fuck you very much.”

    As was explained to me by an acne clad, comically titled “genius” when I broke my previous Jobs phone (all of these fuckers will bend if you handle them like Ike handled Tina), the despair of losing photos, notes and numbers can be avoided simply by backing the phone up more often.

    I thanked the lad for imparting this wisdom with the gift of an iPhone sandwich. Sorry for your troubles.

    You’re like the TV Anchor on the movie Network yelling “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!!!”

    Now you just need to get everybody reading this to open the doors or windows of their office and yell “Get Ready For Another Day of Misery and Hell!!!”

      I watch a lot of stuff. I am a consumer of information on an industrial level, from books to movies to shows.

      Right now, I am watching Boardwalk Empire (the young Nucky Thomson rents an apartment from none other than our very own Chuck Bennet), Hell on Wheels, Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex, Good Wife.

      Some of my favorites are Penny Dreadful (Eva Green), Suits, Hannibal, Game of Thrones.

      I am sure there are more.

      I wasn’t crazy over Fargo.

      I also loved True Detective and might watch American Horror story and Outlander.

    Moving my Rydex fund from Inverse Russell 2x (as of last Friday AM when I was told I was early- up almost 6%) to 2X long DJIA @10:30 AM (then maybe out @ end of day).
    Then a nice long bike ride on this beautiful sunny 80 degree day and I won’t think about the market once.

    Sir Fly,

    You need to stop taking long shits on the toilet whilst using your phone. At a minimum, have your legs closed close enough a phone cannot drop through it…or wedge a towel in between them like I do (helps with the stink as well).

    Your true gift is writing and entertaining. You are obviously good at trading and escaping murderholes (most of the time). Which makes money. But making people laugh at the vagaries of life with wit, sarcasm and aplomb – all the while creating a lexicon of ‘Flyisms” oft repeated in the alleyways of life – is truly valuable.
