[Little Man being Erased]

I managed to get a pretty good job out of my degree so I'm fairly happy.

[EightMilesHigh]

It bothers me that I only have one more year left of highschool and I have no direction whatsoever.

Same here.

I have a few major interests (music, painting, photography, cinema) but I'm not actually good enough at any of those things to pursue an actual career in said fields and it really worries me sometimes. :upset:

I'd say you're probably in the majority.

[The Great Decay]

That is probably true. But the problem with me is that I do well in most subjects and I tend to find a lot of things interesting, which makes it nearly impossible to narrow down career options.

[BillCosby]

I have no idea what colleges I want to apply to, what I want to major in, or what I want to have a career in.

I got a while (I'm a junior in high school), but still. I need to get on that.

[Luxor]

^ That's really not that long. You pretty much have to decide a few months into your senior year. It sneaks up on ya.

That's not entirely true. There are certain things you have to go to college for, regardless of your level of intelligence. There are also programs where you go to university and then you go to college to get hands on experience, like most engineering careers.
That's true, but not for engineering. That's a university program. My best friend is at Mac for engineering and my dad went to Ryerson.

Except there's less maths (which I don't really mind eitherway) . It's either that or Radio + Television, though the nearest school that offers that course is really sucky, or so I've heard.
U of T miss. campus? That's the closest to you right? Mississuaga is close to so many universities/colleges though. You could go anywhere.

I almost bought the Fargo DVD for $10 tonight.

Actually I was talking about Ryerson, UTM I didn't really bother to gather info on. Haha. Right now I'm thinking of either U of T or Ryerson. But York is another possibility.

[Tangy zizzle]

Haha. University is overrated. You're all likely to change your major or stay undeclared for like a year, and if your doing music you'll drop out.

Kinda off the topic, why the hell would anyone want to study music and break it down so much that it becomes work not interest? music is fun, it's not about education and forced learning man.

That's always been my excuse for not studying music. I think my abilities have suffered as a result, though.

Eugh... Le Tigre makes me cringe.

Well they're pretty horrible.

I've been really thinking about graduating high school early next year, and going to college to pursue either/a combination of Literature, Fine Arts, Electronics, or Philosophy. Im really leaning towards the Literature, though, with a Fine Arts minor, although it is kindof a worthless major job-wise.

To a large extent it doesn't really matter what degree you have, just that you have a degree. A large proportion of graduates don't start a job in the same area as that of their degree. Companys just want to know that you can hack the workload. Choose a degree that you'll enjoy, although as Tangy said not something that you view as a major hobby. It takes all the fun out of it.

I really want to go to Chicago. Brown seems appealing, too, but I don't know if I have the grades. My sisters got waitlisted at the latter and I'm pretty sure her grades were a lot better than mine. JonM, what was your GPA, etc. in highschool?

My GPA was 3.87, and my test scores were actually below average for Brown. It's not all about academic performance here. If you're a good writer, a thoughtful, passionate person, and the kind of person who wasn't at all satisfied by a high school education, and that obviously contributed to not performing as well in high school as you were capable of, that comes through in your application, and they like that.

[Luxor]

I got out of my first class this morning at 10... my next class isn't until 2.

4 hour break + no car + no friends to be found = most boring day ever.

That's true, but not for engineering. That's a university program. My best friend is at Mac for engineering and my dad went to Ryerson.

Engineering is a University course, however, many employers won't higher an engineer without two to five years work experience so what is happening is universities are offering programs where you attend uni. for the theory and then after graduating you go to college to get the hands on learning, similar to work experience. This is according to my physics teacher, anyways.

[el doctor]

That is probably true. But the problem with me is that I do well in most subjects and I tend to find a lot of things interesting, which makes it nearly impossible to narrow down career options.This is what we have liberal arts programs for.

I've been told that I'm a naturally strong writer, and I enjoy it. My GPA this semester is around a 3.9 I think. It might be a 4.0 if I got an A is health. I think my grades would be better if I wasn't so apathetic.

I hate my job. I got bullied my manager for a while when I started, then I stood up to him and he's backed off a little. But I always feel under pressure, so I make mistakes, my managers know nothing about morale.

Does your school go above 4.0? Mine didn't, so that's probably why a 3.87 can still be considered Brown material in my case.

[Electrocution]

Oh. Yeah. It does. 4.0 is still straight A's, but with weighted courses and such people can get higher.

[JonM]

Oh. Yeah. It does. 4.0 is still straight A's, but with weighted courses and such people can get higher.
Right. See, I took all honors/AP classes junior and senior year, and I had a 3.87 not taking that into account. Still, though, that's nothing compared to what some people here did, but they major in something boring, usually.

[Zappa]

Kinda off the topic, why the hell would anyone want to study music and break it down so much that it becomes work not interest? music is fun, it's not about education and forced learning man.

Why the hell wouldn't you want to, when you have a deep passion for something, get all you can out of it. Learning about something you love is the most rewarding thing in the world.


Plus it's waste. The only thing you can do with a music degree is become a teacher.

Learning anything, even if it doesn't immediately get you a lucrative career, is never a waste. One thing you can "do" with a music degree is own a deeper understanding of music, thus enabling you to express yourself on levels you hadn't previously thought possible using music.

Of course it's not for everyone, but people who really love music and want to get every little bit they can out of it are hungry for knowledge. Something you can get in college, if you put in the effort yourself, is knowledge.

Learning about things you love always involves grunt work—learning anything requires grunt work—but this makes the power you gain in your field all the more rewarding. If you're going to spend your time aching through something, why not make it something that helps you fulfill your passion?

My manager knows nothing about morale or motivation either, and the worst thing is, he tries to blame our poor sales on the team when he is in no way helping or motivating us. Even after only about a month into the job, it's hard to get up at 6am every weekday, travel over an hour to get to work on crowded public transport just to hear our manager say our sales are ****.

I went to the doctor today and found out I have a mild head concussion. To make matters better, or worse depends how you see it, there's a mouse in our house.

It made me laugh.

I love Ted Nugent.

[The Great Decay]

Loving Ted Nugent also gives you herpes.

[Wanker]

Herpes for all, I guess.

[EightMilesHigh]

Loving Ted Nugent also gives you herpes.

But I use protection :upset:

[Wanker]

But I use protection :upset:

It overpowers your protection.

[Zappa]

Mine isn't nearly as MX-ey.

[EightMilesHigh]

Mine isn't nearly as MX-ey.

You mean...you have friends outside of us? :(

[The Great Decay]

That could be because Zappa listens to a lot more jazz and classical than most.

[The NPC]

']Oh, I will.

Good.

Mine isn't nearly as MX-ey.

It would be if I used that program.

[Zappa]

Good.



It would be if I used that program.

Yeah, you'd be up there. Making 3 MXers in the top 30, instead of 2.

[The NPC]

Yeah, you'd be up there. Making 3 MXers in the top 30, instead of 2.

You know I'd be like number 2.

[Excursions]

Since I've been here. If you want to talk about the wonderful world of the Minutemen and Black Flag or SST then please feel free to IM me sometime.

How about Opal, Slovenly etc. SST has some really good bands, some really shitty ones at the same time but mostly good bands.

[Tangy zizzle]

Hey Little Man, what you think about the 2nd BDO announcement?

[The NPC]

How about Opal, Slovenly etc. SST has some really good bands, some really shitty ones at the same time but mostly good bands.

Well you can blame Greg Ginn and his weed smoking pals with signing just about any band that they saw. Opal was pretty cool and was one of the bands that showed the diversity that was on the label.

[Little Man being Erased]

Hey Little Man, what you think about the 2nd BDO announcement?
Oh ****! They made the second announcement? Man, I'm so out of the loop.

Hang on, lemme go check it...

[Wanker]

I don't check my RYM that much anymore. I check last.fm a lot more now for some reason.

[Little Man being Erased]

Ehhhhhhh. Second announcement = mega lame.

The only bands I would consider checking out from that are:

The Go-Team
Common
Edan
The Presets

****ing lame!

[br3ad_man]

Hey Little Man, what you think about the 2nd BDO announcement?

If you want my opinion, it's ****e.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah, it's not the flashest.But...

Edan, Common, Jean Grae, Greenhornes, Go! Team, Mylo and Shapeshifter = decent.

[Little Man being Erased]

I don't think I'll be going.

[br3ad_man]

Yeah but then Mudvayne kind of throws it out of balance.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah mudvayne are terrible, can't believe it's their second invitation. Yuck...

****, I'm still going. It's gonna be a great day. I just remember the Bats are playing Auckland, so that's gonna make it better.

The Stooges and Soulwax bitches, yeahahahaha!!!!

[br3ad_man]

It would be a good time, I just can't justify spending $114 on it.

[Tangy zizzle]

Fair enough, but I can't see how anyone who liked music wouldn't wanna go bad.

Maybe it's just me and my fanboyness...?

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah that's it. I just can't be bothered with festivals.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm outta here gents. Have a good rest of the arvo.

[YDload]

Mudvayne's first album was really good for a nu-metal band, but they have slowly deteriorated into just another buncha whiners (and one good bassist).

[asymm]

Mudvayne
They're from my hometown (Peoria, IL) :upset:

[Interstate]

Last night's Later With Jools Holland made me realise even more how much of a waste of space Pete Doherty is.

The rest of the show was good though.

Yes I'm a Pitchfork writer, I admit it.

[JonM]

I'm going home in threeeeeee days!

And K'naan is awesome.

[EightMilesHigh]

So a skeleton walks into a bar, and says "I'll have a beer and a mop!"

/slaps knee

[JonM]

Yuk yuk yuk yuk

Seriously. K'naan.

[The Great Decay]

I saw a music video by K'naan once.

[Zmev]

KHAAAAAAAAAN!

[Zappa]

Such wrath.

[The NPC]

KHAAAAAAAAAN!

Good movie.

Waking up at 6:15 AM and having to go wrestle until about 3 in the afternoon is gay.
But now it's time for some Age of Empires 2 and popcorn.

[Wanker]

Waking up at 4pm when I went to bed at 8am the same day is pretty gay.

[Electrocution]

Waking up at 7:30 am when I went to bed at 3:30 am and then having to do community service is pretty gay.

Is that why Frances the Mute got a 2.0/10 when other music critics seemed unusually positive about the album?

[JonM]

Your waking-ups and going-to-beds have sex with other waking-ups and going-to-beds of the same sex?

[Zmev]

Well originally I gave it a 0 with incredibly biased standards, but the editor thought I was being too pitchfork.

[Electrocution]

I like how there's a Scabdates ad on the side.

[Dave de Sylvia]

If I could rep you I would.

[The Great Decay]

I have 10 rep. points.

[JonM]

I have 10 rep. points.
I have -1876.

:chug:

[br3ad_man]

I think I have 376.

[EightMilesHigh]

I have 280.


I'm in a really fukcing bad mood so I'm going to take it out on MX whilst listening to The Queen Is Dead.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I have more rep points than you all combined. Which isn't difficult, seeing as that amounts to -1210.

[6Stringer]

I have 0 rep. :(

[Daniel!]

215 rep. :cool: I'm gonna leave for vacation in about an hour. See you guys in a week.

[Zappa]

I have -1876.

:chug:

Is that still because of me?

[Wanker]

I'm at a comfortable zero regarding rep points.

Is that still because of me?

I think I love Wire now. I discovered that Flying Saucer Attack covered one of their songs. The FSA version is good but the Wire version is better.

*sigh*

[EightMilesHigh]

In my opinion, post rock just seems like a fancy way to say "songs with no words in them."


Then again, what do I know?

Mogwai? Slint? A Silver Mt. Zion? GY!BE? Set Fire To Flames?

edit: (how could I forget?) Flying Saucer Attack... Sigur Ros

[EightMilesHigh]

I was thinking more like Explosions In The Sky.

[Wanker]

Sorry, I was just naming post rock bands that have singing/words in their songs.

[Dave de Sylvia]

No no no no post-rock bands don't have lyrics, or so my friend EightMilesHigh tells me.

[Wanker]

No no no no post-rock bands don't have lyrics, or so my friend EightMilesHigh tells me.

:(

If that's what you choose to believe.

[moaner]

No no no no post-rock bands don't have lyrics, or so my friend EightMilesHigh tells me.

The Sigur Ros album "( )" had words in hopelandish, a nonsensical "scat" type language.

For a good example of post rock wwith lyrics try Silver Mt Zion's "Movie (never made).

beautiful lyrics, fragile but overwhelming singing.

Most of ASMZ's later stuff is full of singing. Could've Moved Mountains, American Motor Over Smoldered Field, More Action! Less Tears!, Goodbye Desolate Railyard Hang On, Godbless Our Dead Marines.

[Tangy zizzle]

Wanker is a post-rock hound.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I need to describe more people as "hound".

[Wanker]

Wanker is a post-rock hound.

I tried to kick the habit. But it's too hard.

[Electrocution]

Man Outkast is so good. Man.

[EightMilesHigh]

Man Outkast is so good. Man.

Good? Yes. But as good as my avatar? No.

[Electrocution]

I'm thinking I should look around for a new avatar.

[The NPC]

I'm thinking I should look around for a new avatar.

Yeah, I have a great one for you.

[JonM]

Is that still because of me?
Nope. Jim.

[JonM]

Man Outkast is so good. Man.
Dude. Atlanta. I love Atlanta.
