Soon, my precious. I'm usually there July/August time, but this year was the first year (ever, since I was 1, I think) that I stayed at home.

How long til the results start coming in?

I gave up on the elections an hour or so ago. I figured the results weren't going to be any different based on whether I watched them come in or not, and I had no great desire to watch them some in anyway.

Who's winning in electoral votes, by the way?

[Kingofdudes]

Bush (R)* 193
Kerry (D) 112
Nader (I) 0

Poor Nader. I'd really like some tiny little state to call for Nader, just because it would surprise everyone so much.

Well 87% of the precincts have reported, and the majority of the absentee ballots will most likely be military, which tend to be republican.

Haven't really done much angel research today, to be honest. I'm not sure why, but at the time there seemed to be very good reasons. My lecture today was on philosophy of religion, but it was Kant, and so there was very little on angels and such in there either.

Alright. Did a 1200 word report an hour before it was due. Bullshitted my way through most of it. :thumb:

A thought just occurred to me; when I started University, I had the fleeting thought "Ah well. No more attractive teachers." Not that many of my teachers were particularly attractive anyway, but I figured, Philosophy at University; lecturers likely to be old men, stroking beards, talking about other old men who stroked their beards whilst thinking profound things. Right?

By a quirk, though, one of my lecturers, Dr Carlisle, is an absolute genius. I wouldn't place her at older than 24/25, yet she's done her degree, her Master's and her phD, at Cambridge no less, in that time. And she's not inconsiderably attractive.

I'm not complaining, just thought it funny that I was proved so horribly wrong.

I can see another "How can I sleep with my teacher? thread in the pit". :p

I have all male lecturers, so I can't really relate. One of my lab technicians last semester was pretty though. I'm guessing you go to a big uni, Bartender?

[Bartender]

Yeah, I think it's one of the biggest in the country. Something like 25,000 students. The biggest philosophy department, too, though I think Cambridge is generally recognised as the best.

Alright then. Good work on that lollercoaster by the way.

Anyway, I'm going to go now. Despite thinking about staying up all night..I probably could do it, and still make it to the 9 o'clock seminar, but it'd be nice to have at least a couple of hours sleep. So I think I'll go sleep on the hard floor, so at least I'll get up slightly more quickly.

EDIT: actually, I may just go and play San Andreas until my seminar..either way I'm off.

Well, it looks like Im in the minority here. I voted for Bush. I just don't trust Kerry. I also don't feel that Edwards has what it takes to run the country if something happened to Kerry. I think the major downfall of the Democratic party was having Edwards run with Kerry.

As for the people who watched Farenheit 911 and thinks that everything in that is true, thats just sad that you would let an obviously biased glorified attack ad influence you that way. I would hate to think that I was such a person to let Micheal Moore influence any decision I made.

I believe Kerry would have won the election if he would have picked a better running mate and didn't flip flop and pander so much during the election. Its basically picking the best of 2 wrong answers.....

[Bartender]

Fair enough.

[LordDargon]

I should be king of that United Provinces or whatever it is down there.

[SonorKen]

Well, like I said, it was a decision based on picking the right answer from all the wrong answers. The democratic party is in trouble if Edwards is the best they had to choose from. He is basically a new politician the grand scheme of things, I and it looks like the majority of the country, just didnt think he could be trusted to run the country in the event something happened to Kerry.

I really think Kerry would have won this by a land slide if he would not have flip flopped and pandered so much. You just couldn't figure out which way he was going as he changed his point of view to whomever he was speaking to.

I really think Micheal Moores movie hurt him really bad. While I won't comment on Moore everyone who based thier vote on this movie should watch Farenhype, I think your eyes will be opened as to what kind of person Moore is.

Anyway, in better news we are auditioning guitar players tonight! I hope we get this nightmare fixed and someone chose in the next week or so and get to work. Man, whoever is chosen is set up to make some INSANE cash just in the shows we have booked in December.

Gephardt was the most popular alternative from what I read, but he's one of yesterday's Democrats, who wouldn't really have galvanised anyone.

Meh Gephardt would not cut it IMO, he just gave up after the very first caucus(sp?), doesnt seemed too determined at all. Also most of his labor union supporters were supporting Kerry and Dean instead of him, leaving him weaker in support.

As long as it is one of Floyd's good songs it's a good idea... although I'd suggest Bike.

I don't know about you guys but I'm glad Bush won... cause the tax increase would be on the people who earn 200,000 or more a year.... and my dad runs a small buisiness, and he has to split that money out paying employees, and then he'd have to pay higher taxes that don't reflect his cut of the income.

I am not glad at all that Bush won, there are a million reasons to dislike him, and Bush is not going to help small businesses either.

Do you think Kerry should run again in 2008? Or would you rather see someone else run?


Two words: Barack Obama. That guy is the most charismatic, non-divisive, common-sense democrat out there, and is a rising star within the party.

Anyway, after spending the day feeling really really dejected, I've come to the simple conclusion that the Democrats really are, for all my hopes, horrible flip-floppers and are very emaciated as a party, and as a result we are in huge huge trouble. I mean, if Bush can't lose either vote after all the **** that's gone down on his watch, it means the second party is dangerously weak. Just in terms of a democratic balance of power, it is imperative that the Democratic party stop being the "Demographic" party and quit pandering to every possible base. If Kerry stuck by a few opinions and projected some of the same steadfastness as Bush, the choice would have been clear and Kerry would have swept the nation. Our country is based on a two-party system, Nader be ****ed. That's the way it is and that is how it always will be. And if the Democrats are so, so weak that they cannot defeat the incompetent incumbent, then that not only means we are in huge trouble party-wise, we are in serious trouble power-wise. The Republicans have a returning President with no more elections to lose, and majorities in the House and Senate. That's a ****ing scary thought, let me tell you.

[Permanent Solution]

Have you looked at the purchasing power of the dollar recently? The American dollar is dropping like a stone, and the Euro is doing great, as are the pound and other dollars. If by most you mean third-world countries, then yes, true.

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Yes. I'll agree with that as much as someone who is partially informed can. I'd really like to see Nader get a major party nomination, I really think the poor dude deserves it. If he somehow got the Democratic party nomination in 2008 I'd vote Nader. If Kerry runs in 2008 I'll vote for him. In 2008 I'll actually be able to, but somehow I doubt he will run again. Next election I will be more informed, or will try to be. Ripper, have you heard of John Titor, or do you not know what I mean when I'm talking about that?

Do any of you know of John Titor?

Hmmm, never noticed this thread before, which is strange. I just got back from an Accounting exam, which I left after an hour as I didn't know bugger all about it. Perhaps I should have listened on the occasion. Ah well, live and learn I say.

That's one of the things I like most about my course; it's about as far from applied and/or algebraic anything as you can get.

Haha, listen in class you say? bollox.

Bartender, what math are you in right now? We had to take this class, and the application is just on the computer, but the level of math is tough. Not to mention it is more words than numbers :(

[Kingofdudes]

I just got done working a little bit on my Rube Project, it is gonna be a serious pain to do :(

I'm doing philosophy, so there's pretty much no hint of maths in there (except vaguely in the systematic representation of arguments).

What do you think of Seneca, Bartender? I have to work him into a small essay on Metal and releasing anger.

[Bartender]

Seneca as in Lucius Annaeus? I haven't actually read anything of him, so I couldn't have really helped.

Incidentally, the reason I wasn't here is because I was watching Scarface. Good film, although it is now 6:16am, and I have another 9 o'clock thing :(

I've really got to sort my sleeping cycle out.

[Riva]

I think it is fine as it is. And Scarface is a kickarse movie. A whole ton of GTA: Vice City was based on that, you know. :)

Yeah, I never realised how much of it was until I actually saw the film though. It's a great film.

I also watched Falling Down last night, which turned out to be another really good film. Check out the front cover (http://www.jam.org/LD/FallingDown.jpg) and tell me it doesn't look cool.

Falling Down, is that where in one scene he takes a baseball bat to the shop owner and just takes a soda or something? i remember seeing that ages ago :lol:

Yeah, that's it. Well technically he takes the bat from the shop-owner, then breaks up his store with it.

Awesome, he has played guitar longer than I've been alive, sounds like a sweet deal.

[SonorKen]

yea, we are all REALLY excited about this guy, he plays keys and we have a Korg Triton that is acting as a desk behind my drums right now plus he has a killer voice. We have alot to offer him too, he can make some SERIOUS cash his first month with the band with all the events and stuff we have booked. We getting an insane amount of cash for New Years eve which he will fall right into. Plus we have all our own gear, PA, effect racks, light shows, 25K drum kit, tandem axle trailer to move stuff, killer studio to practice in, sound engineer, light and effect engineer and an equipment/drum tech..

We have alot to offer so were being kinda picky, this is one of the best bands I have ever been in, we all get along great and have a blast when we play, its truely what music should be about.

[Permanent Solution]

Sounds like a sweet deal, and really professional, go get signed and make even more money, I will buy your CD :p

*wishes he had things that together*

[SonorKen]

haha this band is quite a while from making a cd. Another project I am working on, which is insanely cool, kinda like a Dave Matthews Band deal, might get its stuff together soon and cut a cd. We worked up a bunch of the music but the guy behind it is a lawyer in Kentucky and owns a law firm. He became really busy and put the project on the back burner. The music is great and I have free reign to do whatever I want pretty much.

[Permanent Solution]

Hahaha, if you are gigging I don't know how far you are from making a CD, I am making a CD, and I am the only musician in my band heh...but I am pretty lame. What do you do for a profession then? I also thought you guys were in WV, no? I hope I get enough time to do a band with my profession, which is still undecided haha.

[Riva]

Yeah, sounds like an awesome deal, SFK. Wish I could get my band going the way you guys have. It'd be awesome to have a member of a major band as a mod on the forums.

Man, I love the beach. Went there this morning, had a blast.

[SonorKen]

Well we gig alot but its all cover music. I have actually thought about writing a book on how to create a band to make decent money playing. The system we use will work anywhere. We basically just have a huge song list and put together set lists according to whatever crowd we play for. Every show we play we get more shows, it kinda snowballs.

And Im with ya on the beach Riva, its sweet. I love any kinda water, cept swamp, Id love to live at the beach, on a lake, or near a stream.

Oh, and we are based in WV.

Writing a book would be awesome SFK...just as long as you distribute free copies to cool mxers like me, right ;)

haha yea, Id pass out some copies. Id actually wanna sell it on EBAY, not publish it. Just sell the information in an email. People do that and make a ton of cash.

That'd probably sell pretty well (the book I mean).

Hooters, here's what ya need to order, buffalo shrimp (hot), a nice ice cold bud draft, and a buffalo chicken sandwich with provolone cheese and blue cheese dressing with potato salad on the side!!

[guitrguy]

I was thinking about getting some wings, but if I was 21 I would definetly get some bud.

[LordDargon]

parisite joke, got another one

If a piano player is a pianist, and a flower seller is a florist, what is a race car driver?

[Paranoidd]

Hooters wings are real good.

SFK, that stuff sounds excellent, and I'd eat it if it wouldn't put me in the hospital.

[guitrguy]

I'm wondering if there is some type of surgery that repairs an ulcer.

[SonorKen]

Yea, they can surgically repair ulcers....

[Paranoidd]

Not mine.

[SonorKen]

Why not? Ya have a perforated ulcer? If so, I really feel sorry for ya, I have a friend who has one and he is miserable every time he eats, he lost about 80 pounds, can't put weight on and drinks Ensure to get vitamins......

[Paranoidd]

Mine is stress related.

I've had two sets of x-rays and ultrasounds, and gone through different types of medication (Nexium, Losec (which my father took when he had stomach cancer) and pantoloc). Basically, any time I get upset, I get excruciating pain in my stomach, or I vomit, and I'll get diarrhea. Fun.

Pretty much anything I eat hurts, and I had to cut down on my booze considerably (I pretty much used to be an alcoholic).

Basically, I've been told there is nothing further I can do, except for medication that is so strong, it will make me grow breasts. I'm not too much into that idea.

In short, I'm screwed. My honest prediction is that I will die within the next 10 years. Not that I really want to, but that's just the logical progression I see. I'm 21, and I've had this thing for two years, and it keeps getting worse.

[LordDargon]

that is teh poos. :upset:

[SonorKen]

Man, that sucks. Sounds like the alcohol destroyed your stomach lining. Its a double edged sword for ya now, your sick, you get worried, it makes you more sick. I wish there was somethin that could be done......

You summed it up...people rarely make the connection that the worrying/pain is a downward sprial.

I wish something could be done as well...smoking dope helps. More appetite, less worrying, less pain. However, I can't afford to do it often. I cut back from every day to once/twice a week.

I need $300 so I can buy Salival.

[Kingofdudes]

Or keep an eye out at Yard Sales for stupid people selling it for cheap.

[Dancin' Man]

Yeah. Some book stores and music stores do that. It's one of those things though that cannot be found online for cheap because anyone who knows anything about Tool will sell it for a minimum of $75. Sometimes that without the DVD. I have trouble deciding if I'd burn everything then resell it for more of just keep it.

Im thinking of making the jump to Black Metal, any good starting bands?

[xizoesira]

If you want to take it slow, ease in with Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, and newer Immortal.

Or, jump right to the classics. Emperor/In the Nightside Eclipse, Mayhem/Live in Leipzig, Darkthrone/A Blaze in the Northern Sky... etc.

[Ir0n_mE]

Don't listen CoF it will put you off Black Metal. Dimmu Borgir are good though.

[Kingofdudes]

I have heard Dimmu and Cradle before, so I'll probably check out Emperor or Darkthrone

[Bartender]

I'd say avoid Cradle and Dimmu altogether, as they don't give too much of an idea of how good black metal can be.

Immortal - At the Heart of Winter and Burzum - Aske/Burzum are, I would say, excellent albums which are good at leading people unfamiliar with the genre into it.

You might be best off just downloading some stuff by various artists though, and figuring out where to go from that.

[Bartender]

Okay, I just finished watching Mallrats. I need another film to watch.

Potential choices (those DVDs within reaching distance) are;

Natural Born Killers
Scarlet Diva
Four Rooms
Made in Britain
Saving Private Ryan
Road to Perdition
Gridlock'd
Toxic Avenger part IV: Citizen Toxie
The Shadow
The Usual Suspects
Witchfinder General
The Big Lebowski
The Abominable Dr Phibes
Clerks the Animated Series
Bowling for Columbine
Sgt. Bilko
Goodfellas
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Scarface
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
Falling Down
A Fish Called Wanda
Groundhog Day
Repossessed

Any suggestions?

[Kingofdudes]

Jay and Silent Bob or Scarface are good candidates.

[Bartender]

That they are, though I did just watch Scarface a couple of nights ago. I feel like watching the Shadow, actually.

[Riva]

That is one awesome dagger in that movie. Go with it, or A Fish Called Wanda.

[Bartender]

I watched A Fish Called Wanda more recently than Scarface, heh. The Shadow it is.

I want that dagger.

Do you like Monty Python, Bartender? I watched Life Of Brian again a while ago. I love that entire movie. Especially Pontius Pilot, and his lisp. :lol:

[Bartender]

Yup, I'm a fan of Monty Python. I have Quest For the Holy Grail on DVD somewhere, but I can't find it :(
