It's good for Jace that he's kinda starting to get his shit together, but this is boring. Can we stalk Tyce instead?
 
God, that is depressing. On the good note, he realizes how shit is his life, and perhaps he will do something about it.

That's probably why at the time he was uploading the video, he was freaking out at people on twitter for calling him a marine when he's always been a navy seal
 
Hasn't Jace published a vlog almost identical to this a year ago? A "my friends are all off to college and don't want to hang with me" vlog?

I'm predicting a cycle:
1: Jace goes sober.
2: In his newfound clarify, Jace realizes how depressing his life has become.
3: Jace goes back to drugs and skipping his anti-pych meds.
4: Jace spirals out of control until returning to point 1.
repeat ad infinitum

Yes, Jace, it is. Actual writers, though, understand how much work it is and do it anyway, because it's our passion. We work at other jobs to support ourselves unless and until we produce work that gets published and brings in enough to live on. For a hobbyist writer, it may not be worth it, and they may be better off doing something else.
 
Jace and boredom are a dangerous combination. He has zero patience and no tolerance whatsoever for being inconvenienced or subjected to things he doesn't like, so unless Rob is going to pal around with him for Jace's every waking moment - which, I imagine Rob has a job and other responsibilities so that's not happening - it's only a matter of time before Jace starts hanging out with his worthless stoner juggalo friends again or subjecting himself to other self-destructive habits.

That coupled with his inability to handle the truth about his miserable existence means that I'm pretty sure we're going to be seeing more tardraging before the end of the month. Hell, maybe even before the end of the week.

It would be great if he did, but I honestly doubt it will happen. Jace is a drug addict with mental problems; if he wants to overcome the numerous obstacles standing between him and a healthy, normal life, he's going to have to really work at it. It would require a lot of work with little to no immediate payoff. Jace has neither the patience to handle that, nor the discipline and self-control to keep pushing onward and resist his old, destructive coping mechanisms, nor the desire to learn how to instill that discipline in himself. He might be able to if he had an appropriate support system - but living at home, with his crazy fundie mother, and access to his drugs and other people that enable his shitty stoner lifestyle, he doesn't stand a chance.

Jace is upset because can't find anyone to hang out with because they have school/work responsibilities (which he calls selfish) and he's afraid that he might have to resort to hanging out with Tyce who is in the midst of a Jenkem bender.

He also claims he's "sober on his own terms" which means he's going to AA but still smoking weed.

That reminds me of my uncle's kind of rehab, where he stopped doing coke but kept smoking pot and drinking for a few more weeks.

Or so mom claims.

They call it the Marijuana Maintenance program. Alcohols sub weed for drinking, seems to work for some people. Everyone I ever knew that did AA was super against it though. But I don't think that's why Jace is still smoking weed. He just loves weed.
 
It's pretty hilarious Jace thinks it's selfish that his friends are working or going to school when he mooches off his mom and the government.

But you don't understand! It's the Infinitely High College Factor that takes all the kool juggalos and leaves none for Jace to chose from. And plus, he's lonely without his high school Joy Boys, too!

Things of note from Day 3:
  • Jace. Is fucking. Bored.
  • Parkour makes Jace feel much better, but free-running by yourself is lonely :(
  • Anyone who goes to college or has a job is fucking selfish.
  • Tyce won't shut up about his Race War or his huffing Jenkem...
    • ...and Jace only wants to hang out with him as a last resort because he's getting really weird.
  • Jace is sober "on his own terms"...
    • ...which means that he's only doing weed but nothing else.
  • He wants to sell the shrooms he bought back to Kyle, but Rob things that's not a great idea.
  • Writing is too much work, way too much work, especially when you're not getting paid.
  • Jace hangs out with Rob every chance he can get, such as going to a baseball game in Maine.

I swear, I keep learning so damned much from Smutley. First about AIDS prevention, and then about Jace in quick-and-easy-to-understand synopses. Were that the CWCki had more of him.
 
I think that its selfish to have a job or responsibility attitude is fairly common amongst people are having problems adjusting to adult life. I've had people get pissed at me for spending time with my wife and kid and not hanging out with my friends as much.

Growing up is fucking tough, even if you're not a lolcow.
 
I guess there are no skate shops in Massachusetts. Of course, maybe there are but Jace won't go to them because he'll feel bad about having a crap Walmart board instead of a nice quality deck, trucks and wheels.

But I think Jace should get a hobby besides vidya and blazing. It would be good for him.

That's one thing I don't get about some of Jace's "friends." They claim they're helping him by encouraging his delusions when doing so is actually harmful to Jace. If they really were Jace's friends they wouldn't tolerate his idiot fantasies. Weird.

It's like the ending to Mazes and Monsters, isn't it?
 
Now that Jace is acknowledging that he lives in a fantasy world and on his meds, I wonder if this means Eli's coming home (or is already home and they jus don't want to admit defeat)
 
After the vlog yesterday I pretty much the whole "hang out with me because I'm the important one" shit is just another arm of this God complex he has. It doesnt seem as bad when he is "sober" but it still exists. If he's so bored I wouldn't be surprised to see the livestream come back early because he literally gets no other social interaction otherwise

I was first going to call him on narcissism here. Then I realised that Jace probably just doesn't get that people who work or go to college tend to be unavailable for certain parts of the day, because, uh, they go to work or college. Seems to me that unlike your average person, Jace is completely able to forget little details like that. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by 24h-blazing-induced stupidity.
