My Griz Curse: lore dump/shitpost

I have a curse related to Griz. This is purely a personal lore dump but have to share, because my curse should be broken in 11 days 🤞

I’m in my mid-twenties. Griz was in his prime right when I came of age to be able to get into shows, and then just 2 years later, covid happened and then he went on hiatus. Spanning the past 7 years, I have had a total of 6 opportunities to see griz. Every single one has been ruined. Something insane or unfortunate has always happened. I call it my Griz curse. I genuinely have developed a borderline schizo delusion that the world is going to explode if I see griz because I have been so very unlucky and it genuinely feels like I’m not supposed to see one of my favorite artists live.

I bought a one day ticket to breakaway Ohio to 24 hour send Saturday just to finally make it happen. This is totally a doxx but I just sprained my neck at LAYZ + Kai wachi at breakaway Atlanta. A potential 7th instance of the curse.

Good news: I’m in a neck brace all week this week, it’s only a muscle sprain (spine is not affected), I’m on scheduled OTC ibuprofen for pain, a THC topical roller, wolverine stack (peptides) to speed up healing, and a prescription NSAID for spine inflammation that also helps the muscles but is being used to prevent cervical spine inflammation while my sprain heals. Doctor said I should be back in business if I lay low and stay compliant for the rest of the week and said I’m cleared for Ohio as long as I’m not in pain.

Moral of the story: the world might end when I make it to Ohio, and don’t headbang for 3.5 hours straight if you suspect your ❄️ has molly in it. I was rolling and couldn’t feel my injury until I came down the next day because of it.

Who’s ready to rage in Ohio?

[Sales/Consulting][Southeast] - $300k

I am a 24 year old 3x college drop out that ended up going to beauty school. I’ve never seen one that looks like mine. If anybody who knows me IRL is in here they will 1000% know it’s me because I can’t sit still. Hopefully they don’t, though, because then they’re gonna know I got rich this year doing my “silly” side project. The consulting income is classified under an LLC so I don’t pay normal income tax on that. I have ADHD, I don’t really sleep, I work up to 70-80 hours per week across all projects, I’ve nudged my way into rooms I maybe didn’t belong in but made the most of it once I got into them. I will retire in my 50s very comfortably. I’m Jewish and give 10-15% of every dollar I pay myself in tzedakah and firmly believe I have reaped what I’ve sown through paying it forward. I work extremely hard, but I know in my soul that G-d rewards my hard work and success because I consistently pay it forward to those less fortunate.
My advice: always stay humble, show gratitude to G-d and the people that have helped you along the way.

Man in women’s locker room

Currently hiding in BC spa after an extremely unsettling late night experience at my home location. I was in the women’s locker room grabbing my bag and there was another woman in there who told me she was in there alone ~20 mins prior to me coming in. Out of nowhere, a man walks out of the women’s shower area into the locker area. He looked at us both crazy and frantically said he thought he was in the men’s and left. The other woman was in there alone with him for a while unknowingly which means he was in there for a very long time. I do not believe this was a fluke because there is a giant F at the entrance and no urinals. He also ran full speed out the front door to the gym. Female night staff was coming in to clean as the other woman and I were making our way out to report it. She said she saw him leaving in a hurry and would have GM run cams and match it to his membership photo and handle it tomorrow. What exactly will be done about this? I’m telling them on the way out I expect the GM to call me tomorrow. There is no telling what could have happened if one of us was alone in there when he came out. I’m probably going to switch locations after this unless the GM can convince me not to as I no longer feel safe here. I have been a member both at planet previously and several other gyms for years and have never once used the wrong locker room or seen a member of the opposite sex in the wrong locker room. This individual was 100% a cisgender, masculine presenting male so there is no questions to be asked or considered about gender identity.

My cat’s (3F spayed tuxedo indoor-only) pupils were different sizes this afternoon. I watched her for about 30 mins and watched both eyes dilate multiple times but different sizes, and then she threw up. I managed to rush her to the vet before they closed. First, they were very surprised that I noticed it because her pupils were def different sizes, but it’s so slight that it could’ve been easily missed for a few days. They did an extensive work up including a physical, a vision test, eye pressure, and the most extensive bloodwork panel offered. Everything came back normal, and we knows that she can definitely see light and motion from both eyes and reacted to them without delay. Vet deemed this a non-emergency but something to be closely monitored. Labs come back tomorrow. Assuming everything is normal on the labs, they want to see her again in a week and rerun the vision test. If everything is good, then they will not be immediately referring her to neurology because all the relevant baseline testing would be normal at that point. Because everything minus the pending bloodwork is negative, we had to brainstorm various causes of this. We boiled it down to 1) concussion 2) very early, mild Horner’s.

This cat is insane, climbs ten foot blinds and perches on the blind box at the top. I’m wondering if she may have lost her balance and landed poorly and bumped her head. Also, her and her brother play extremely rough (it’s friendly just chaotic) and it’s also possible they may have taken it too far. We have 2 pretty plausible concussion scenarios on the table. Alternatively, or together, this could be horner’s. The vet didn’t want to jump to Horner’s because this literally just started today and she said it would be the most mild case of Horner’s she’s ever seen. Plus, Horner’s isn’t life-threatening and there’s not much to be done about it. Overall, I feel good about the vet. I didn’t feel pushed or oversold, and she seems to be well on the line of being conservative but cautious which I greatly appreciate in a vet (first time seeing her).

I paid $500 for every possible test and exam method that doesn’t involve imaging or specialist screening and I didn’t feel that was unreasonable. This type of change can be indicative of some serious stuff that I want to rule out, or treat because she is so young. My cat was due for a well visit with deworm and shots next week and was booked here, but they saw her for urgent care today and switched her well visit for next week to a follow up. They declined to vaccinate today until labs come back, but have agreed to waive the visit fee next week since my other cat is having his well visit and then I’ll just pay for miss wonky eyes’ shots if she’s cleared to have them since we did her well visit exam plus extra today.

Any vets here have thoughts on what been shared?

I might be hallucinating or experiencing some weird Mandela effect, but I could’ve sworn the teasers were for TODAY. I really feel like there was a feed post to the ig account following up the “next week” one that’s still there, or maybe it was a story post.

Am I losing my mind about something being put out about a lineup on Monday?
