Ahnold: “milk is for babies; I drink beer!”
It is nice though
Dude sprang for the WaveBird and what I assume is delivery pizza, how many more luxuries should he have?
That looks like a Little Caesars box, so definitely the low end of to-go pizza.
Also, he took the time to decorate with the Konga drums, so its totally luxurious!
It’s missing the milk crate stolen from behind a dunkin donuts serving as a tv stand
My bro got out of army and moved 6000km to a new job in a new city in a new country. His setup was:
- clothes
- couch for sleeping
- monitor on cardboard box
- keyboard on smaller box
- back to the wall
He worked like that until the Stuff arrived.
OOP missed the mark on this one. This is serene. Like you moved out either for the first time or transferred to a new city and brought only the things you love before you fill your house up with trash
Ah. Triumphant beach-head phase. Legend.
This is what happiness looks like.
That’s some clean carpet.
Man, I wish my life were that simple again.
That looks so fucking relaxing, like I have nothing to do for the rest of the evening, and no pressing concerns as I sip my chocolate milk.
Only thing I would change: out that TV on a milk crate so your neck isnt strained even more than it is from sitting on the floor.
But when we were young and had set ups like this we also had invincible bodies.
Or rather, what felt at the time to be invincible bodies. Now I’m at the part of life where the bill for that comes due.
That was exactly my setup when I struck out on my own.
GameCube, wavebird, bongos, Twilight Princess. PS2, Guitar Hero, mod chip, case full of burned games. Single twin size mattress on the floor.
Those were the best days of my life.
I had two DVDs. Napoleon Dynamite and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
No internet, no telephone. I wanted to be creative and I didn’t want distractions. I wrote most of my songs in that little window.
Screw it. I never share my music. Here’s one of the songs I recorded.

This song slaps, did you do all the parts yourself? Are you still making music?
I really do appreciate your comment. You put this stuff together and think it won’t ever be heard, so it feels good when someone likes it.
Yeah I do. Not as much as I did then. I really appreciate the comment.
I did do all the parts, but I had originally recorded the drums on an old cheap Yamaha electric pad thing. I met someone online years ago who remastered the recording and redid the drums.
I’ve shared my music like 3 times in the last decade. I mostly just do it for me and for my people when I kick the bucket, in case they want it. I know my son does. He wants everything, even all of the hours and hours of recordings where I was trying to come up with something.
I’m really glad you like it. I’ll share a few more.

And here are a couple more recent songs.
Can you post the rest to YT? That second YT one reminds me of like a sea sick steve with grunge, shits awesome.
I think I’ll do that tonight. I haven’t posted my stuff seriously since 2010ish.
I made videos and everything but I lost them all.
Heck my mom saved two but they’re not in the quality I put them in. My ex called her and said I was deleting them so she rushed to save what she could and got those.
I was in a very bad place back then. Actually ended up being diagnosed with cannabis induced psychosis by the time it was all over.
Here are those two. I don’t care for the one where I did the ghostly images. The song could have been good but it was too long.
Thank you guys for taking interest in this stuff. I might let my brother put it all on Spotify haha. He’s been trying to get me to for a while.
Hell yeah man, good stuff! If you do end up putting your stuff on the streaming services, don’t forget about all the stuff you gotta do to collect royalties, this is what’s holding me back from releasing my music lol
ITT: A lot of guys going “Ah man this was first days in my first apartment out on my own. Good times.”
Chocolate milk, GameCube, and me!
HES GOT THE BONGOS
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is amazing
My thoughts exactly! This man is living the dream!
I ended up renting a room as an adult, not because i’m bad at adulting but because the value of my wage has been destroyed and i basically learned that if i have a desk + chair for my pc and a bed/sofa mix…i am golden.
I just need a computer and no one bothering me (which was an issue at the time as 2 others were quite a burden. One was addicted to hard drugs and the other was a petty criminal who was always in trouble with the police to the point they came looking for him on a daily basis.) Other than the constant noise and not being able to sleep…yeah i’d settle for a minimal life with maximum peace and quiet.
I really do not care for society, i never asked to be put on this planet.
I guess I am too old, my first thought when I see this picture is “my poor back”. 😂
Yeah, my response was “needs a comfy seat, something to put the TV on so it’s eye level, and something to put the pizza and drink on so they’re within arm’s reach”.
But otherwise this is peak. I had a space in my parent’s basement like this with an old couch and dresser that had been headed to the dump, along with the big family CRT when they upgraded to LCD. Add some Bionicle and other Lego to fidget with and inject that nostalgia into my veins.
Well, that’s just showing our mileage.
My current setup holds this spirit but does add some back support.
That’s usually my first thought after getting out of bed!
You should stretch before getting out of bed.
I’m only in my 30s but I have joint issues and since I started stretching before I get out of bed, I have had less back issues, particularly my lower back.
Haha, I was half joking! I seldom have actual back pain thankfully, but being in my late 30s I definitely have to put in some effort to keep it that way
How do you even stretch while in bed?
I’m recoiling from the greasy pizza box on the carpet
People mocking other peoples happiness & low environmental footprint is weak af.
