mmm iced tea. i made a pitcher of it last nite and drank half of it....i had to pee so bad in the nite. i got up about 7 times to take a piss before i fell asleep.

Hyde 08-02-2005 02:26 PM

Holy crap this thing is 89 pages long? Jeez.... I guess I'm a late starter.

My names is Maysam james sartip-Pour Goudarzi. But I mainly go by james. And if you're wondering, I'm half Persian. And my Dad was probably on drugs when he named me. yeah, I live in Riverside CA, and I've been playing drums for a little over two years. Mainly into Metal (Bleck, Death, Power, Heavy, Light, Diet, Zero Calories, With Lime), Big Band and Swing Jazz, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart and as of recent... Billy Idol. I don't quite know what else to say, but yeah... I'll think of something.

Tim 08-02-2005 02:32 PM

nobody really talks about who they are anymore. its more of bs of what we recently did. for instance seafroggys and his lady friend(lover), or how tea recently came up. its mainly people talking about themselves being drunk but its pretty funny.

Seafroggys 08-02-2005 02:35 PM

^^^Haha, lover. Thats the goal anyways!

Making the next phonecall right now! If you don't hear back from me in a little while, all's well! :cool:

Tim 08-02-2005 02:36 PM

goodluck man.

Josiah 08-02-2005 02:46 PM

You know what the problem is here..

You are thinking WAAAAAYYYY too much about it.

It's a girl. There are BILLIONS of them. They aren't superior.. they put on make up too look good and spends mad money getting fixed up just so MEN will find them attractive.

Don't put her on a petistal. It's a privlage for her to talk to you, not the other way around.

Girls get guys pining after them ALL the time. You are just another regular guy trying to get there attention by being the submissive one.

You want to grab her attention. Be a man and step up the plate, be calm, collected and to the point.

She even gets a wiff that you've been spending this much time thinking bout just talking to her.. you're toast. Nothing better to do then sit around thinking about a girl ya don't know.

Tim 08-02-2005 02:47 PM

thank you dr.phil. haha

ha its been a whiel it must be going good. woot. :chug:

Seafroggys 08-02-2005 03:10 PM

Well you're very right Jos (thats right, I got an answering machine, more on that later).

I shouldn't have to think about it, it should be spontaneous. However, seeing as I have never done this before, and I only have one chance to get her before I never have another chance (she's amazing....pretty and a hippy like myself! thats why I don't want to mess this up, because pretty hippies are a rare combination). I like to think everything through and every possible response to every single possible question ONLY if I freeze up. Once the conversation is happening I'm fine, I will be fine, and as long as I don't freak out I should be fine, but I'm only afraid that I'll freeze up and act all weird (which has happened before).

And the thing is, she is superior. She isn't like the normal girls that you probably encounter. She isn't the whole "spend tons on makeup trying to get guys type," she's higher then that. Her intellect and niceness (she's the only person I know who's nicer then me, and I'm **** nice, except on forums :p ) is what really pushes her ahead of the billions of other girls that I could get.

Now I realize that I will have chances in college and in my adult life, and plenty of chances with plenty of other women, but why not try now?

(btw why did you AIM me last night without saying anything?)

Now, onto the answering machine.

I didn't hear the whole message, but from what I understood is that they don't pick up phones until the answering machine activates. I'd rather not talk to a machine, but I'm gonna have to. I'll try again at 3, and just state "Hey this is a message for Jenny, its Justin, if you can please call me back at #####, thanks bye." Fast and consise.

[QUOTE=sic]haven't tried jagermeister (is it expensive?)[/QUOTE]

usually runs around the same price as a shot of whiskey or wodka. Its a herbal based drink, it smells like (looks up word) liquorice? hehe.

Hyde 08-02-2005 05:26 PM

Yeah... black liquorice. That's some nasty tasting stuff. I don't know how we finished that bottle, probably got easier after the first six shots, but still. Nastiness to the fullest. Usually twenty bucks for a half.

yeah... I figured I was far too late for this. ANyhoo... I hate tea. Unless it's Green Tea at a Chinese restaurant (That's tolerable) or Brisk Iced Tea (Which isn't so bad.) I haven't been drunk in a while. I'm not a big Jack Daniels fan, so I don't drink more than 2 cups. (They mix it with coke or lemonade.) I'm a big vodka fan though. Absolut, Smirnoff, Finlandia (Because of Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho), and UV.

Apparently you could get high from smoking Green Tea leaves. It doesn't work.

So true, I wish I had known this in high school- I coulda gotten so much *** if it weren't for my immaturity and foolishness, and general anxiety to get ***.

Girls can smell desperation like you smeared **** all over yourself, and its the most powerful and irreparable turn-off to them.

Simple **** to emote confidence and portray yourself as an alpha-male (which girls are attracted to first and foremost) is what will get you girls: hold eye contact with them until they look away (dont have to do this everytime but its important at first,) dont be too eager to please, walk slowly and confidently and project your voice clearly so as to not look shy, and TEASE them in a way that they will laugh, dont be an ***, but if you can bust a girls balls, man youve got them where you want em. Back to what Josiah said, dont think too much about one girl= go talk to as many girls about whatever you can think of whenever you have a chance, and you wont give a rats *** about one stupid girl, and theyll know it and itll help you a lot more than if you sit at home thinking about how much you like (translation: want to bang) any one girl in particular. Itll help your game out a lot.

PowerStamp 08-02-2005 06:22 PM

MY CAR
IS A PIECE
OF [I]SH[/I][I]I[/I][I]T[/I]!!!!
lol

Ok so I went to pay the insurance on it ($60, not bad at all), and when I'm ready to leave there, the f[i]u[/i]cker won't start.
It doesn't go click click click click, or wahahahhahh or ennnahehnnnehnn, it just goes...... ... ...... .. . ... no sound at all get it

So I call my dad and he comes out there and gives it a jump, just for good measure I fill it with some water and antifreeze and oil (all were kinda low), and it works again now.

Here's the problems with it:
> Drivers side window half works. The UP button works. The previous owners ghetto rigged an extension cord into that, and when it's in, up is up. When you unplug it and flip it, up is down.
> Passenger door SOMETIMES opens from the inside, hardly ever though.
> Some of the fuses were too high (replaced those today)
> Air conditioner doesn't work
> And now, my CDplayer won't eject lol (goin to best buy to fix that though)

SeasonOfTheMad 08-02-2005 06:23 PM

also, since this is basically the community thread ill introduce myself- my names john wood, im from maryland right near dc, im 20. Been playing for 2 1/2 years, Im gonna major in music and education in college. I first started taking lessons last spring, where i took jazz percussion at montgomery college, a community college in montgomery county MD that i go to, and man it helped me so much. Since i first started focusing on technique, everything else fell into place and became so much easier.

My drumming style is funky/hard rock/jazzy, Im not good in terms of real good drummers, but I can make good beats and cool fills and people like jamming with me. I dont like metal drumming (usually, its too uptempo and doesnt change enough) or punk drumming (same deal,) My favorite drummers Bonham, favorite genre is classic rock, and generally im just awesome. What about you all?

Jezen 08-02-2005 06:24 PM

A trolley would seem more fashionable, and less annoying, than your car. Sorry Powerstamp :upset:

SeasonOfTheMad 08-02-2005 06:25 PM

what kind of car you got? im driving a '92 oldzmobile cutlass sierra a.k.a. my 06 year old grandma's old car, and it sucks ***. The spedometer doesnt work, but besides that it runs so im happy.

Jezen 08-02-2005 06:26 PM

Im drivin my feet. Either that or some chatty hoe.

[QUOTE=SeasonOfTheMad]what are your all's drumming philosophies?[/QUOTE]

Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day once said "Attack your instruments, don't let them attack you.."

Thats the main reason I think hes a complete prat.


For me, I try and take a sort of zen approach to my kit. It is part of me, I am part of it. It is like a martial art. Everything has to be performed with utmost precision.

one of the most addicting games i've ever played. i'm on level 32 right now, which is extremely difficult. (they're in one big square, i've tried for 10+ minutes to get it) but my friends just called, so i'm going out. someone try to beat me. i've got a screenshot i can put up later if no one believes me or anything. honor system, honor system.

-TheGlassPrison- 08-02-2005 08:36 PM

i am at level 8 within 2 minutes.. lol its so easy

Futuro 08-02-2005 08:37 PM
