Casual Compendium
 

So, you might have noticed... I'm like... not really around. And I'm trying here... to figure out... what my place is here. I feel out of the loop and that I've done everything that I can.

So I'm sitting here racking my brain, and trying to figure out, what in the world was different before. One of the things that I realized is that... I have nothing to look forward to here. :( I've been there and done that with all the typical threads a million times over. It's not that they aren't valid threads... it's not that they are stupid questions... its just that after three years, I can only answer the same question so many times before I want to shoot myself. And that has nothing to do with you, the user. That's all on me.

I'm sure you've heard me ramble about "back in the day" when the bass forum was a really fun place to be... what made it so fun was that I allowed alot of stuff that I don't allow now. The user interface changed and I had to reel in the reigns for some control. It was to be expected as mx grew.

And so now I have realized.... I know none of you. There are a few vets that are from my original time... and there are a few of you who I know, and converse with, etc. But the entire bass forum--- I used to know all of you.

So in an effort to try get back into the loop and have a place here.. I have created this thread.

This is our general discussion thread... for all of us to get to know each other.
I don't want people to just randomly list things about themselves.. because that is not how we get to know each other in real life.. now is it? We do it through conversation. And no.. it doesn't have to be about bass at all.

I guess I should start.

hm.... ok... since I recently saw that mox has posted... who remembers the pineapple hit list?! :lol: We need the pineapple hit list back!

*loves lightraven*

you need to get AIM so you can talk with some of us MXers.

*hugs LR*

[QUOTE=cods]*loves lightraven*[/QUOTE]
agreed, dont we all?

im two new, i dont know her at all, i just know that she keeps this forum running

So... yeah... I've never heard of the pineapple hit list. I wasn't too active in here when I first joined. I was a little affraid. Seemed a little too hardcore for me at the time, I suppose.

delete your post if you can. she is really no tolerance on sexism in any degree

Hi... umm... another discussion thread.

*bass solo*

What's with this 'pineapple' list?

hah then bassweasle delete your post when you quote hims saying that :P

I'm fairly new myself, everyone's always complaining about how you haven't been around. :p. Welcome back, or something..

[QUOTE=bassweasel]delete your post if you can. she is really no tolerance on sexism in any degree[/QUOTE]



Someone should reply to it, so that it will be here forever, and he'll have no way out. :lol:

The pineapple hit list was me, moxshyfter, and Redact... crap... I think I spelled his name wrong.. anyway... whenever someone would get on an make a complete jackass out of themselves on the forum, we'd send out the pineapple hitlist... we had a little website and everything... If someone said something dumb.. one of us would post our signature picture.. usually a spin off of the batman light sign.. excet... instead of the silohette of the batman sign, it would be a pineapple. :lol: Goodtimes.

In terms of my music career.. as soon as I am done my go**** BA, I'll be getting my masters in music therapy. I used to be a double major in Classical and Jazz Bass... except, one little thing was holding me back from graduating... a recital... which, due to extenuating circumstances, I cannot completely. My school has gone so far as to tell me, and I quote "you could have had both your arms chopped off and we still wouldn't graduate you with your performance degrees..."

So I had 200 some odd credits and now they are telling me I have to take some more classes inorder to graduate with a BA (Bachelors of Arts) I'm in the process of looking for a loophole right now for that.. cause its a bunch of BS.

whew looks like she inst mad, yet....

What exactly is the difference in a major of Music Therapy than say... performance or theory. Because right now, I'm a freshman in College and am looking at those two majors but I do not know the difference between one or the other.

[QUOTE=Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove]im not sexist, im just a horny 18 year old, who is kiding.[/QUOTE]
i never said you were. i said any hint, including jokes might prove a prob. its a trigger.

That blows. I got screwed over and ended up having to stay in college an extra semester because of a 1 unit soccer class I [I]suposedly[/I] signed up for but never went to. I don't think I even signed up for it, I think they just wanted my money. Bastards.

Pshaw fool... I don't play with picks... I use my natural **** hand.. the way it was meant to be :cool:

And, there is no way in hell that I am posting my "pic" considering I've had it used against me recently. Am I hot? Ask the people here... most should remember what I look like. I'm not interested in impressing people with my looks here. I'm a bassist, and that is what I am here for... and you too for that matter. Take that crap into the pit if you must, but I'll warn you, they aren't tolerant of it in there nowadays either.

:wave:

LR

This thread is the hottest thing since sliced bread... You need to post more often :)


And don't you hate getting that last post on a page, because you know that no one is going to look at it? Maybe it's just me though....




joe

I remember you perm banned me :) but I still consider you as one of the better mods. Whenever I'm in the pit or R&M and there's a bunch of worthless threads, I can normally look forward to going to the bass forum because there isnt as much bull**** here.

And by the way, I'm glad to see Cods out of the pit and back inthe Bass Forum where he belongs :thumb:




joe

Back when I first started lurking the boards, about 2 years ago, I remember you posting a lot more. Even when I joined with my first acount almost a year ago, you posted more. Are you planning on being more active? That would really be cool, because you are one of the best mods here. :thumb:

Music therapy is basically psychology... using music to help people. Performance major is one who is majoring in performing... who has plans on being a professional playing musician. Lots of people don't usually major in performance.. because its basically a piece of paper saying you can play... and what job does that get you? Not a specific job anyway... there are things you can do with a performance major...

a Theory major is one who extensively studies music theory... this is usually the person who wants to become a college music professor at some point. There really is not other reason to major in music theory other than to teach it.

With music therapy, it's a mix of both the psycholigical major and the music major. You have to be able to play an instrument...preferably more than one.. you can audition on bass, but the two instruments that are going to be used most often in the feild are piano and guitar... I can play all three so my *** is covered. You have to go through all the theory courses and stuff like that.. but you have to go through psych courses too... its really awesome. To me, anyway..

College huh, im about to enter college my self this fall,

I have a tendancy to type novels when I post, so sometimes it takes a bit longer for a reply... because I can't seem to shut up! lol


LR

Thanks for that explination. I was really liking the music performance major... but if you can't really get a specific job in it, hmmm, oh well.

Music therapy does sound pretty cool though. I'm still stuck in the middle between my decision.

:confused:

I don't remember perm banning you... so don't take it personally... because if I remember why and who you were... then I was ultra pissed.. the whole forgive and forget gets away from me during those times :lol:
