R&M Sandwich Bar (No Ham Allowed)

[Bartender]

I don't get it :(


gah german. after being in this country for a year i cant wait to get back to the US and not have to speak german for a while. English is better by far, because i understand it a lot more easily haha.

I really like German, and not just because it was one of my best subjects in school. I suppose I've never had to spend a year in Germany, though.

[Riva]

Well, I just uploaded three tracks for Alex's Voivod thread, so make sure you check them out. I'm sorry I didn't get to make it onto MSN, Bartender, but I really must be getting to bed. I only came on at this late hour to check my emails, etc. (I didn't have the oppurtunity today).

[GurS]

So, I have to make a decision:

I currently do Politics, Music, Drama and English Literature. I have three choices:

A) Drop one (which is what most people do, as the subjects get harder from here on in)
B) Drop one and do Economics for a year (which will help me get a deeper understanding of Politics, which is what I hope to do at university. However, it's meant to be very hard, and I don't know who much I'm gonna like the course)
C) Keep doing all four (which will be good for my university applications, as the unis I have my eye one are all pretty much top unis).

help? :confused:

Well what happens is you get here, and you are all like gung ho must learn german for the first 2 months. Then once you start feeling confident enough to speak german all the time, it actually becomes much more difficult because what happens is the germans hear your accent is from an english speaking country and just have to show off their english to you. So it becomes frustrating to try and speak german and learn german because everyone is liek "oh youre an american, look at how good my english is!" (or in your case they would be like "Oh youre from the UK, look at how good my english is!")

Fun language when you can actually speak it and get your point across though

Do you thoroughly enjoy all the classes you named above? If not, I would drop the one and do economics so that you have a head start when you get into a university. If you do enjoy all of your classes - and you think you could handle it - do all four! It can always help NOT to drop a class and pick up another one, but the question really is, do you think you'd be ok doing that? Economics is no easy bit, from what I've heard.

[NJMetalMeister]

sure ill give it a go, i need to run to the supermarket real quick or else im not eating for the rest of the weekend hahaha (they are closed here on sundays), but you can post it here, or just IM it to me over MSN or AIM, either or is fine with me, ill be back half hour tops

I love all of them except English Lit.... but that's the one I can't drop :( If I drop one, it'll be music

My advice then, don't drop. :D I don't know about you, but if I were in your shoes, I would definately try to balance one more class than to drop music class. But thats just me.

[Riva]

Do all four. I have the choice of doing three or four subjects a semester. I do four science/engineering/maths subjects a semester, and suck it up when the going gets tough. Basically, your boss once you leave school won't say:
"Look Sam, I'm going to give you three tasks to do, but if you don't want to do the second one, just leave it be; it's okay. Can I get you more milk for your tea?"

Well I dropped one when I went from lower to upper sixth; I think pretty much everyone except the guys who were taking Further Maths just carried on with three instead of four, in my school. I don't know how tactical that was though; it was just the normal way.

HOHE LIEBE

(Ludwig Uhland)

In Liebesarmen ruht ihr trunken,
Des Lebens Frücte winken euch;
Ein Blick nur ist auf mich gesunken,
Doch bin ich vor euch allen reich

Das Glück der Erde miß ich gerne
Und blick, ein Märtyrer, hinan,
Denn uber mir, in goldner Ferne,
Hat sich der Himmel aufgetan

If you don't mind, could you also do these two?

SELIGER TOD

(Ludwig Uhland)

Gerstorben war ich
Vor Liebeswonne;
Begraben lag ich
In ihren Armen;
Erwecket ward ich
Von ihren Küssen;
Den Himmel sah ich
In ihren Augen

O LIEB, SO LANG DU LIEBEN KANNST

(Ferdinand Freiligrath)

O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst,
O lieb, so lang du lieben magst,
Die stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräben stehst und klagst.

Und sorge, daß dein Herze glüht
Und Liebe hegt und Liebe trägt,
So lang ihm noch ein andres Herz
In Liebe warm entgegenschlägt

Und wer dir seine Brust erschließt,
O tu ihm, was du kannst, zulieb
Und mach ihm jede Stunde froh
Und mach ihm keine Stunde trub!

Und hüte deine Zunge wohl:
Bald ist ein hartes Worst entflohn,
O Gott, es war nicht bös gemeint,
Der andre aber geht und weint.

O lieb, so lang du lieben kannst,
O lieb, so lang du lieben magst,
Die stunde kommt, die Stunde kommt,
Wo du an Gräben stehst und klagst.

Alright GurS, here you go, i did th ebest i could. Some of the lines were very very idiomatic and i was unable to come up with an english equivalent, and some i jsut didnt understand. A couple words may have been misspelled a well because i did not know them, and could not find them. anyway, you can easily get the jist of it, so here you go:

HIGH LOVE/MY DEAR (yes that is high not hi)

In loving arms rests your (trunken = used for drunk but that makes no sense here)
The fruits of life wave at you
A glance only made me sink,
But I am rich with you (very idiomatic, doesn’t translate right)

The luck of the world I gladly measure,
And look, a martyr, hinan?
Then over me, in the golden distance
The sky opened wide


BLESSED DEAD


I was dead
Before (lovely delight?)
I lay buried
In your arms
I will be awoken
By your kisses
I saw the sky
In your eyes



OH LOVE, LOVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN


Oh love, love as long as you can
Oh love, love as long as you like
The hours come, the hours come
Where you stand and lament on graves

And sorrows, that your heart emits
And love nourishes, and love carries
So (long) another heart in love
strikes warmly against it



and who opens up your breast
Oh do it, what you can, to live
And do it each hour happily
And do it no hours with sorrow

And tend your tongue (must be an idiom)
Soon a hard (Worst?) flees
Oh god, it was not meant to be evil
The other goes and cries

Oh love, love as long as you can
Oh love, love as long as you like
The hours come, the hours come
Where you stand and lament on graves

I know..... the thing that makes it funniest is the theme at the end.

It's just his way with CDs. He has plenty of his own (mostly CD-Rs and compilations), but he never looks after them. Every CD he owns, more or less, has a broken case (if any case at all) and is scratched to all hell, or else dirty or otherwise rendered eventually unplayable.

So I know I shouldn't have lent him it, but I did.

[Ad Absurdum]

I thinkk it's bad when parents have the same taste in music as you. I haven't seen my copies of Annihilation of the Wicked, Octavarium, Awake or The Gallery bfor a couple of weeks because my dad just comes into my room and takes them. And he doesn't buy CD's either, just steals mine.

[Bartender]

Ah. I guess I'm lucky that my parents hate my taste in music. Except for Nightwish and the occasional Joe Satriani song in my mom's case.

Well my dad dislike a whole lot of what I listen to; he just likes little bits and pieces like, for example, Dylan.

It's just annoying though. I still have the music - copied to computer, and to my mp3 player - but the case and booklet are missing-presumed-dead, and the CD badly scratched.


How did he do it?

EDIT: So I see

Yep. The only other (fortunately, the only other) CD of mine he's wrecked was Dre's 2001, which was especially weird because I left it at his house accidentally and he'd never have actually listened to it.

Afternoon, guys.

I went to an interesting party last night. It was waaay far away from my house, back by where I went to high school. A bunch of friends from high school were there, so it was cool to see some of them. Others I could have done without seeing.

Anyway, I had to drive 92 miles this morning to get home. After a night of drinking and smoking, that was quite a feat.

New Jersey works the same way, the state itself isn't very large, but there are 3 distinct regions, north jersey, south jersey, and the jersey shore, and they are so drastically different it is insane. Even the different areas use different words for things, it really is like two separate countries.

Example: North jersey, and the jersey shore; a long sandwich is called a Sub
South Jersey: it is called a Hoagie.

another example: North jersey: ketchup and mayo on french fries
South Jersey: just ketchup
Jersey Shore: we prefer vinegar.

I'm going to this tonight:

The Hirshhorn and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (LAMOCA), have co-organized the first exhibition in the United States to examine the many forms of visual music, an interdisciplinary, broad-based art movement that explored the relationship of abstraction, color, and music. Accompanied by a 272-page catalogue, the presentation brings together the work of forty artists and an array of media, including painting, photography, film, light projection, computer graphics, and immersive environments. The exhibition is curated by the Hirshhorn’s Kerry Brougher and Judith Zilzcer and LAMOCA’s Jeremy Strick and Ari Weisman. Visual Music is organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

"In addition to getting a late-night peek at the exhibit tonight, Joshua White and Gary Panter will be producing a psychedelic light show they're calling "Cosmic Drift." We're told that "Joshua White achieved acclaim in the 1960s for The Joshua Light Show, in which he created kaleidoscopic, mind-bending effects for the likes of Janis Joplin, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers Band." Groovy! The show will go on rain or shine, and alcohol is prohibited."

All my little brother's friends are pot heads and pretend faggots. They think it's some cool trend to be gay or bi so they all hang out, get high and then do dirty things I'd rather not discuss because my brother is involved. Only one of the kids is actually gay as far as I know.

Oh my god, that is disgusting.

How old is your kid brother, anyway?

I always wanted siblings, but only an older brother or a younger sister (all within 2-3 years of my age). I definitely wouldn't want a younger brother and would be indifferent at the idea of an older sister.

/has given this some thought

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Chris, did you go back and read what went on while you were gone? :lol:

Ray- Iv'e thought about that too, being an only child. I think that it would own to have a hot older sister, so that when she would have all of her sexy lady friends over, I could check them out. :cool:

I was inspired when I was at a sleepover at my friend's house who had a sister who was also having a sleepover. :amaze:

Trends in New York are a lot different then in Maryland, I guess.

What specifically are you refering to, though?

Well, my little brother is only 10. So he's not that bad.

Wait, were you here on Thursday night when Jim made his big post, and then called us idiots? If not, well that's what started the ball rolling on the tension here. (Which left immediately as Pete entered. :p) Then, Bus started an AIM chat, and invited madey and bobo, which was a bad idea from the get go since Bobo has something against her, and vice versa. I have the conversation on my computer, but it was basically a dick waving contest(thx Ray) between him and Madey. They were arguing about the uselessness of this thread, and how we should be making more rock threads or something...:confused:

It seems to have passed, which is a good thing, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. :p

I definitely wouldn't want a younger brother and would be indifferent at the idea of an older sister.I'm cool with only an older brother. I've never given it thought. I've given the ammount of kids I'd like to have serious thought, though.

My older brother's friends are pretty cool. I've been known to get along with them.

Ray- Iv'e thought about that too, being an only child. I think that it would own to have a hot older sister, so that when she would have all of her sexy lady friends over, I could check them out.

Exactly.

And then with a sister who is two or three years younger, you become The Hot Older Brother (tm) to her friends.

Today we salute you, Mr. Constant Collar Putter Upper. You, bedecked in popped collar, teach us that we no longer have to live with a cold, back of the neck. Sure, your pink alligator polo may look feminine to some, but not the 17 other frat guys wearing the same thing at the bar. Where others may see thoughtless fashion conformity, you preach a higher gospel. You preach of a world where it is okay for a man to go tanning. You ask "why can't we wear makeup, and use shampoo with lavender essence?" So crack open a fresh bottle of candy cologne, Mr. Abercrombie because we all know, when we really need a piece of gum, you might have one...in your man purse.

:lol: Maybe I am easily amused, but this made me laugh.

[Lord Abortion]

my second guitarist quit my band today...
no Idea why really, he just said sorry and left as it was at the end of his shift at work., I said when are you working next week so we can get some practice, and he just said something I didn't quite hear then said sorry and left...

[Dancin' Man]

Strange... Did he join another band or something?

[Congratulations]

Sooo, best way to get over extreme anger?
Beat the shat out of something.

Seriously, go for a run or something, just expend some energy and you'll calm down.

[Lord Abortion]

Strange... Did he join another band or something?
he was already in another band, he offered to play for us as we were short of good people, curse of a small rural school again. we didn't have anyone good who was free, I saw he was a good player, and we went to see cradle together so he seemed like a cool guy and all, and he IS a cool guy but I don't quite know why he doesn't want to play when he bloody well offered to!

[Kingofdudes]

I got 3 hours of sleep last night, and I drank about 15 cups of coffee at work so I wouldnt pass out. But now I am craving coffee, I think I am addicted :-/

You could have just linked us to your scrob. :lol:

apologies.. will do that in future...

I have a fun joke for you all-

Scientific research has proved conclusively that Tom Cruise's semen contains vast quantities of helium




well how else is Katie holmes' voice so squeaky?

[Kingofdudes]

Gilmour- Where've you been as of late?


Ive been working a lot during the day so I can get a pimped out computer to play games/record on. At night I am either playing guild wars, or I am hanging out with friends.(That reminds me, I need to get of those fireworks in the trunk of my car before my dad finds them....) That leaves little time for mx. But once I get my own computer, I will probably be on a lot more.

[Dancin' Man]

Hahahahhaha that was good.


/Katie Holmes is hot but maybe I just think so because she looks like she's in high school still.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I actually lol'd when Moses just randomly came in and was all "I JUST WANT MY GF'S BOOOOOBS" when we were having this deep discussion.

I was comparing our scrob stats, and it's funny. You have played way more tracks than me, but your most played band only have 70 something, but whereas I have 425ish tracks played by Tool. :-/ It shows how acute my music taste is. :p

Either that, or I just listen to Tool way too much. /fanboy

Ehh..Katie Holmes is sort of hot, but she looks a lot younger than she is.

Our town just had one too. They are raising money for a community recording studio :cool:. there was a kick *** Beatles cover band there.

[Lord Abortion]

bollocks to it, I still can't get into tool!

I know they are good, but just don't get that feeling I get from other bands, like if I listen to surrounded or wait for sleep by dream theater and am nearly moved to tears or I get that massive jolt of emotion from countless Iced earth songs

I WILL keep trying though

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sarge, have you whored your forum any yet?

@ your stats- Damn, you really like Hurt. :lol: Such an awesome song, though I've only heard Reznor's version on the radio.

Lord Abortion- What have you heard by them?

[Dancin' Man]

Ha at Miserlou. My guitar teacher is obsessed with that song.

Yes I really like that song and no to be honest I can't be assed with trying out another forum.

[Lord Abortion]

Lord Abortion- What have you heard by them?
46&2, lateralus, euology and parabola

[Six Foot Revolver]

46&2, lateralus, euology and parabola
Buy/download Lateralus and then just keep on listening to it. Brilliant album :thumb:

[clearvision]

*Watching glastonbury*

If Coldplay don't play shiver, Imma go and kill someone :)

Nin's Hurt > Cash's Hurt

Reznors voice is 100% perfect for that song.

Buy/download Lateralus and then just keep on listening to it. Brilliant album :thumb:

Aenima is a better starter album.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Jake- Oh..:-/

Abortion- Ehh, that's a good list of songs. Try Stinkfist, and maybe some of their darker older stuff from Undertow. 4 degrees, Prison Sex, and Part of Me are all great tracks from their first 2 releases.

[YDload]

46&2, lateralus, euology and parabola

Those are actually among their best songs, really. Parabol/parabola (the first track is sort of an intro to the next) is my favorite Tool song of all.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I wouldn't say Parabol/a is my favorite Tool song, but it contains by far the best solo by Jones. It's nothing technical at all, but it's just a very great solo. Gotta love the pinch harmonics at the end. :p

I think the last 6 songs I've learned on guitar have been by Tool.

Part of Me
Sober
Ticks & Leeches
Lateralus
Stinkfist
46&2

fanboyism++

[Lord Abortion]

I willdo, like I said, I will keep trying

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Actually, before you get all those, why don't you check out Ticks& Leeches. The drumming is exceptional on that song, and Maynard does some of the most wicked screaming on that song. It took him 3 weeks before he fully recovered from recording it, and he refuses to sing it live. There is a lame 3 minute segue in the middle, but other than that, the song is extraordinary. It would probably suit your tastes more, too. :)

Yeah you make it perfectly clear to them how much you like them, they still moan about themselves all the time. Then they go and screw you in the arse by making out with some dude at their school prom...

see L+R for emo rant.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

At least you got screwed in the arse...

wait..

Literal thinking minus minus

I had the same thing happen to me recently. I've told Madey and Ray, so I don't really feel like telling it again, but it's about the same scenario. Actually, almost the nearly exactly the same scenario...Except it wasn't prom, it was a different school dance. :p

And what did you do about it?

Hey, I posted more in depth on your/our in the L&R. :) I included some advice as well.

Oh, and what I did about it: Me and her still talk on an untimely basis, but I told her that because we're so much alike, it wouldn't have worked out anyways.

/has no balls

What I want to tell her: I still like her, I will probably like her for a while, and if she ever wants to just hook up, hey, I'm down.

/has no heart

[clearvision]

Yeha, thanks :)

[Bartender]

My flatmate kept a steady line of "Tool's music is contrived and pretentious" throughout the whole year, but I'm pretty sure he hadn't actually heard much by them. He kept insisting their music was only there as a vehicle for them to show off their virtuosic brilliance on their instruments, and his views on what is and is not pretentious I tend to discount anyway.

[clearvision]

I can't say they are virtuosic, with the exception of danny.

Pretentious and contrived don't exactly sound like insults. I love the way tools music is contrived and structured with all these deep meanings that people can look into etc...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

He obviously hadn't heard them much, as he proclaimed them all as virtuosos. :rolleyes:

Either way, that would have nothing to do with their music being pretentious, would it? How can music be pretentious!?!

Maybe he has them confused with Dream Theater. I don't recall Adam Jones doing any sweep arpeggios or Justin Chancellor doing any two-handed polyrhythmic tapping. They're just a progressive grunge band, really.

But I like them.

I have never heard them be called that but it is actually quite a good description of them :thumb:

[superpeer]

Yeah, it's hard to say.

First of all, maynard's singing, I hate it. I think the music is boring, nothing memorable, so yeah, I can't think of a reason to like them. Plus all the fanboys, always announcing them to be the best band ever. :)

Same goes for Dream Theater, actually.

[Moses]

That's a shame, I like both bands.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, I was thinking his description sounded more like Dream Theater too. :p

Grunge? I suppose at moments, but it's hard to classify them as one genre, as they cover so much ground throughout their songs.

Wow, this is turning into the Tool thread. :p

Shall we get some cover talk started? :rolleyes:

[Moses]

Shall we get some cover talk started? :rolleyes:
I posted in the Tool thread that I might be able to get some work done on the vocals tonight.

[superpeer]

That's a shame, I like both bands.

Half of mx does. Vocals are weird, they don't really make the song, usually. Like if the music is boring or just bad, vocals usually don't make up for it. (Maybe Patton?)

But they are like the key to the liking of a band, both Tool and Dream Theater have horrible vocalists, in my opinion. Same goes for Extreme metal newbies, how many posts do you read saying "I like the music, not the vocals"

Vocals are like the surface, if you don't like them, there's not much chance you'll go through to the deeper part.

Yet average vocals, can work perfectly in a song, I could even say, go unnoticed and be part of a great song. So It's important and not important. Weird. Vocals.

Yeah. /tl;dr

[Bartender]

I can't say they are virtuosic, with the exception of danny.

Exactly.


Either way, that would have nothing to do with their music being pretentious, would it? How can music be pretentious!?!

Well of course music can be pretentious.

By way of example though, his idea of pretentious was, often, a solo.

[Moses]

It's just personal tastes. I really didn't like James Labrie's voice at first but then it grew on me a little more. Same with Maynard but in less time, and now I like it alot.


!!!!!PAGE 666!!!!!

[Bartender]

I like Maynard's voice. LaBrie's often (for the most part, basically) is just incredibly annoying, though.

[clearvision]

I've always loved Maynards voice...

I hate labrie with a passion, I tend to just ignore him. I can't stand tracks with his OTT singing, Caught in a web springs to mind.

Hehehe...how ironic, my ex's sister also got messed about with by her significant other today...

[superpeer]

Well, obviously I'm aware that music is subjective. But there are bands who deal with more vocal issues than others, no doubt. Some people just have a very distinctive voice, which can be godly to one, extremely irritating to others. While other bands almost never deal with a "I don't like the vocals" comment.


Alice in Chains
Tool
Dream Theater
Smashing Pumpkins
Megadeth
Cryptopsy
...

I dislike most high vocals, though. So most of Power Metal is out, things like AC/DC (bleurgh) and loads of other hard rock and traditional heavy metal.

ITP: I reply to everything since I last posted.

Hey WA Jake: when everyone says they've moved on from the bullshit, you don't need to ask people for their permission to retell what has gone on. No one cares anymore, everyone has buried their perspective hatchets, everyone is essentially cool with each other once again, and you want to pull the skeletons out of the closet again? I'm sorry, but considering we've talked about moving on and not bringing up the past over MSN and not through the thread, why would you elect to bring all the bullshit back up again? Are you a master storyteller? :)

Come on. Everyone has forgotten about it, and everyone has started fresh, and it's evidenced in everyone's posting. So, stop with the storytelling, please. No one cares enough now to invest their time to bring the skeletons out of the closet. Your bias shines through when you say, "Hey so-and-so did you read about what's happened the past few pages :lol:? It all started when...", but we're all on the same level again. Everyone has moved on. Just get over it like everyone else has. There are no brownie points on teh Intranet. :)

In regards to Tool: I only have Lateralus :o

It's a great album from what I've listened to so far, though. I like it. I'm not going to be as knowledgeable about them as AJIG is, obviously, because I focus on other bands. You ask AJIG about Tool, he'll give you the 100% correct, no-nonsense answer. You ask me about bands I'm very familiar with, and I'd do the same.

But yeah, go Tool *pom-pom*

///

In regards to Dream Theater: I like them as well and am a bit more familiar with them than I am with Tool /obvious statement

I recall reading somewhere (probably on MX, where all good things happen) that LaBrie is classically trained in opera, and had major throat problems on the Awake tour, hence his weaker, I guess, vox on the following albums and live and such.

But yeah, go Dream Theater *pom-pom*

In response to daven: I don't steal stuff. I don't see the point when I can go out and buy things because I have money.

Ali: welcome back :)

I'm not sure if you saw my post to you in that one thread, but thanks very very much for taking the time to YSI that mySpace song for me. I genuinely appreciate it, and it sounds great. Grant it, it comes out only the left channel, but it was definitely a very kind gesture, and it sounds great mono anyway, so again, thank you for wasting your time to do that for me, I'm very grateful.

[Dancin' Man]

Daven - nobody likes to steal. I do it and do it quite well but if I could afford everything I need/want I would pay for it. I now have a job and plan on buying much mroe than I was before I had a job. I also like to consider myself a thief with morals, although it's just my own twisted justification of taking only from huge corporations that will not be harmed by my taking of their merchandise and they are better equipped to catch me because of the security they can afford. I would never steal from a a small or local business. *sigh* I guess my justification just makes me that much worse of a person.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Well of course music can be pretentious.

Oh ok. Even then, Tool doesn't do much soloing as a whole. :shrug: Either way, it's all opinions, when they be informed ones or not isn't up for me to decide.

Jumbucket- I would reply to something here, but It would be better off not to.

thats bad luck, and weird justice.

[Dancin' Man]

It's a risk you take when you steal. I am always fully aware of the consequences. That is one reason I am very careful and frequently leave stores I planned on shoplifting from empty handed. I am entirely unwilling to walk out hoping and so I don't. If I leave a store, I am entirely confident in myself and what I am doing.


^not wierd justice. You break the law you pay. If he had to pay the same ammount that he was stealing, then it would be incentive to steal because if you get caught, there really isn't any negative repercussion.

[heavy metal kid]

i never thought of stealing something, that's going low for me.

the end of page 666 :cool:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

What kinds of things do you mean when you say 'steal.'

Steal as in shoplifting, or steal as in pirating music?

Or...Steal as in grand theft auto..? :shifty:

[Dancin' Man]

Steal as in shoplifting, or steal as in pirating music?

Those two excpet we were talking about shoplifting.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ohh ok.

I don't shoplift. I do steal quite a bit of music though. If I didn't have such a faggotesque internet connection, I'd be much more of a Pirate.

:emo:

I've definitely thought about shoplifting, but I've never gotten the balls to do it. I steal from my school a lot. Oh, and also, tons of roadsigns and for some reason, I have lots of floormats from various fast food restaraunts. refl

[Kage]

I used to be in to shoplifting, but I'm done with that.

I don't even know what my freaking AIM is. It could be Dr. Jake Destructo or DrJakeDestructo. Try which ever one you haven't tried already. :lol:

[Kage]

Well, I'm not signed on at the moment, which would explain it. :p

[Illmatic]

I'm black, so I love to steal :eek:

Wait, what?

I've been gone for a while but I actually haven't left my living room (only room in the house with air conditioning++) so I've just been chillin and watching TV and movies and laying on the couch with my woman :)

I'm glad I missed out on the Tool talk, to be honest :lol: because I've never been a really big fan...they just never clicked with me. I don't really like Maynard's voice all that much (actually, I don't mind him so much when he's shouting and stuff, but when he's singing he's annoying as hell) and the music itself is pretty boring to me.

[Dancin' Man]

Jazzmetal song I wrote and recorded today. Not done, I still need to do vocals and some solo guitar but this is the base of it.

I'm black, so I love to cop/s-block ****, smoke crack, bust caps and talk in ebonics :eek:

Wait, what?

Fix'd for stereotype's sake.

[Illmatic]

That reminds me...I know a lot of you probably aren't big fans of the Rolling Stones, but I've found I can do a pretty good/interesting cover of "Sympathy of the Devil". Is that something I should take the effort in recording and uploading?

NP: Petey's jazz metal song...pretty cool work, Pete. My only complain is that it sounds a little tinny.

Fix'd for stereotype's sake.

:eek:

You read me like a book, Pete!

(BTW, do you get annoyed by me calling you "Petey"? I grew up in Boston so I'm used to calling Pedro Martinez by that name...it's force of habit, really)

[Dancin' Man]

I don't mind Pete but I hate Petey. I've actually decided that come college I'll introduce myself as Pete rather than Peter which I have been called almost my entire life.

Thanks for the comment. I think I like the tinny sound but am not yet sure. I wanted the guitar, especially the high tones to really pop out and so I went with tinny.

P.S. if anyone could tell me what style the rhythm of the main theme represents I'd be forever indebted to you.

[Illmatic]

OK, good to know...I'll try to never call you "Petey" (I'm not going to make a promise I can't keep...it'll probably slip out every now and then).

I understand your point, it's just that I hate tinny rhythm sections (cuz im black and i liek big bottom in more ways then 1!!!! lol...but seriously, I just don't like it when the meat and potatoes of the song sounds weak). And while I wish I could hold that power over you :p I cannot tell you what the rhythm of the main theme represents.

[Dancin' Man]

Hmmmm... I think it's a bossa nova rhythm but am not sure.

[Illmatic]

Hmmmm... I think it's a bossa nova rhythm but am not sure.

What are you getting at?

Mr. McHugh, you're trying to seduce me! :eek:

Welp, I'm totally mystified when it comes to the rhythm.

I wish I knew. I need to get someone who knows everything to listen. I'll ask NPC, Amit and Nacho. One of them will know.

Hello everyone.

And speaking of the Indians, the Sox whooped up on you guys last week and they'll do it again this week (and this time I'll get to go to one of the games!)

Also, I've decided to take my stepdad to the Red Sox game on Tuesday...even though my gf really wants to go, I'll assume she'll understand how much this means to him.

I think I heard your situation partially a few days back, but I wouldn't mind hearing. :) Unless you don't wanna post it, which is also fine. :shrugs:

So, today, I got back from work at 9:30 AMish, and my mom was sitting watching Even Stevens on The Disney Channel. I was like..umm mom? Shouldn't you be watching like the Gardening Channel or something? Then I went back to work, and came home around 7:00 and my dad was watching freaking BET. I was like double wtf dad?

Well I mean, it goes far beyond that...I mean, it's been long-thought that baseball is a bonding moment for fathers and sons, which is obviously something I have not been able to experience (I went to one or two baseball games with my dad, and I never got a game of catch---I'd be lying if I said it didn't get dusty whenever I see the end of Field of Dreams). And I think I've unfairly taken it out on my stepdad, a good guy who tries to be like a father to me and normally we get along fine, but I think when it comes to historical father-son bonding moments I tend to shut him out and shoot him down. So this gesture, I think, would really mean a lot to him.
