Digital Angel Posted: 11/12/2009 2:17:13 AM
[B]The Heart of Letting Go[/B] I think your right We moved too fast I can tell because of the way my hearts is beating The things you think In a sudden crash And you come down To see that love is fleeting And I'm sorry, Yes I'm sorry That I took the road I did But I guess you never know How you will be When your at the heart of letting go You can't fight reality you said but I was clinging To hope instead The things you do When you are still where It all began And now she isn't there And I'm sorry, Yes I'm sorry That I didn't let go as fast But I guess you never know How you will be When you're at the heart of letting go Trust me It's nothing that you did It's not fair but you couldn't win I wish regardless of what happened I would've stepped Away and we'd be friends And I'm sorry, Yes I'm sorry For the lack of oxygen But I'll guess you never know How you will be at the heart of letting go I know you did what you had to do No matter what I still care for you I know you did what you had to do And I still care for you I know you did what you had to do And I still care for you I know you did what you had to do And I still care for you Just like I did for you At the the heart of letting go

"Digital Angel" You are my digital angel and even though I haven't held you the thought is familiar You are the closest connection To what I've wanted in my life It's in your reflection You are too humble to believe all the claims of your perfection that are pouring out from me You have to trust me angel Whatever you will perceive as your "Flaws" I know I can accept them And as I live life in the moments of our divide Your always on my mind And as you live yours in those moments I hope you realize You've added so much to my life And I will give back Because of all that you give And I will reach out Just to give all of this Cause all that I know And all I breathe in Is the truth of knowing you Is all that I was seeking And with every touch that I touch these keys It's worth it just for my words to be seen By my digital angel And every little part of me I leave with you because I believe We both believe In the same things Because you are my digital angel You are my digital angel And when I have the chance to hold you This will all come together And when I have the chance To hold you This will all come together This will all come together This will all come together Because you are my digital angel and when I have the chance to hold you This will all come together

"Leaves" "Leaves" Like the leaves before they die We look for the color in our lives We all want to find that magic Before we're dead and dry It's in the nature of our being to keep searching for that feeling It's in the depths of our soul to find someone who believes in All we are and all that we stand for After all this time my prayers have been answered and all I know is I've become submerged in this moment and I promise myself I will take this and I'll own it Because She's all I know of love and she's all I understand She's the only source of warmth I'll ever want in the palm of my own hand Like a bird without a song We all tend to soar along In the air of our own regrets until something proves us wrong It's in this changing of our minds that we seeing with brighter eyes It's in this moment of clarity that fate brings someone in our lives Because all we are and all that we stand for comes in time and your prayers shall be answered and all I know is I've become submerged in this moment and I promise myself I will take this and I'll own it Because She's all I know of love and she's all I understand She's the only source of warmth I'll ever want in the palm of my own hand and I'll take this now I will take this and I'll own it and I promise myself I will take this and I'll own it I will take this and I'll own it I will take this and I'll own it I will take this and I'll own it Like the leaves before they die We all look For the color in our lives

See Vanders Mark, you saw into an element that was positive about a band you don't really care about because you LOVE music and understanding the inner workings let's you find what works in all music whether you like it or not. I had a big awakening when I started looking for forums to discuss my passion for music. My mode of thinking was "Gee, I love music! If I love music and talk to others who love music I can find new music to love because people who love music love sharing that love for music!" (long huh?) lol Boy, was I wrong! People who claim to be music fans just seem to stick to proven bands that are "GENIUS"! The longer they have lingered in "GENIUS" territory, the better! So unless you learn those top ten "GENIUS" bands or only post some obscure German speed metal band ummmm...... like Gugenflimer or something then they will seek out threads that are just the opposite to tell you that your taste clearly suck! So much for building off a topic (music) that so many are supposed to sincerely love and furthering the experience through sharing that love.

That is so strange! I finally decided to buy "The Breakfast Club" DVD a week ago because I was feeling nostalgic about the movie and wanted to watch the new documentary. I feel that in eras that the 70's was best for horror and the 80's was the best for comedy which is owed HUGELY to John Hughes!

Vanders Mark, I think people like you are responding that aren't really elitist ! If you are someone that is open minded and are telling others to try some different music then that's cool. It's Elitist that are all up in arms about what others are listening too and treat them like they are beneath them. For example, I don't care for them but if someone put up a Nickelback thread here it's GUARANTEED that some missionary for taste is going to take time out of their busy lives to tell them how bad their taste is and blah blah blah! How many of these intellectuals will say "Hey, I can see the appeal but if their music appeals to you then you might want to check this (insert name) band out?" A little more productive and non-elitist in my opinion! Expanding your musical taste, as even ones who don't partake in the craft of musical are capable of doing doesn't mean throwing prior taste in the sh***er!

When music preference stems from hair styles, clothing types and peer conformity, the genre becomes the box that can't be thought outside of. This isn't a problem for me, though it does make the idea of informed choice a bit more than a stretch. Wine is a good example, some people drink the same brand of wine their whole lives (after all, their parents drank it all their lives, it must be good). Others realize that different wineries will have good/bad wines from year to year and choose accordingly. Both will enjoy the wine, but the latter will enjoy it in a way that the former will never know. If they discuss wine, the reasons for preferences will be different from both camps, the former can learn from the latter, but will not be able return the favor. The problem is when people claim to know why someone else has picked their music. Not knowing how to play an instrument does not signify that I've chosen music for the wrong reason. I could close my eyes and not even know what a band looks like and still have the same impact from their music. Believe it or not even non musicians can have sincerity in their choices and sincerely like something someone calls crap without being influenced by outside sources. :)

I think that people can love something in different ways! I mean there are a lot of sports fans who will never have the skill to BE a professional player but have you seen how rabid they are as fans. I would say they love sports with a passion and they aren't made to feel bad because of it. There is a community for sports fans. While I respect musicians immensely and their knowledge as well would I be spending my hard earned cash constantly and on a regular basis if I wasn't an avid music fan. Am I any less worthy because I can't give you a dissection on it. Is there really a music community where people can actually share their love of music. It seems rare to me and it seems it's due to the lame competition to be the smartest fan. It's counterproductive to me! Peace!

Maybe you handle the knowledge differently. :) Music has enough sides where it can be approached from and still have great value. If you (you being in general) look down on people for their own connections because of your knowledge then you would be an elitist! We need musicians who are adventurous and love making music but their is no need to have the attitude that some bring with it. It's useless baggage! Peace!

When you are jaded by anything enough to not just be able to ENJOY music at the most primal level and scoff at people who can do this then you are an elitist! Playing music is a craft and good for those that can do that masterfully and gain a deeper knowledge of it! When you are listening to music in a detached way where you analyze it to death instead of just letting it sink in and letting it soothe you, elevate your emotions and just take you to a different place then I feel bad for you and wouldn't trade places with you for anything in the world. I don't care if it's Limp Bizkit or Miles Davis being listened to, I would envy the listener who felt it the most rather than the one who could break down note by note what they were doing!

It's the leap frog mentality! They don't like their relationship but at the same time can't be alone so they have to have something available just in case where they can immediately jump too! No one wants space between relationships anymore it seems so someone in the wings always has to be available! Guys do this too! Just my take! Peace!

World! Let's not pretend to like each other Because we don't All I ask for is an empty road so I can walk and cleanse this vapid soul because I'm too attached to leave this mortal coil World! If I could just start this life again Maybe we'd find ourselves to be friends But in this world once your broken you become the mistake that life won't let you end I'm real sorry that I blame you for my despair but I need to to blame something bigger than I am and you're what's there but one day I'll find peace and I'll stop trudging on your back I'll recoil into your soil and become unattached So world! for now just give me a place where I can hide and sleep It never seems like you share enough space where I can find release So world! Since my last words will likely be to you I'll be taken without consent so let's make peace before I bid adieu and sink into the better part of you I'm real sorry that I blamed you I'm sorry that in my despair that I needed to to blame something bigger than I am and you happened to be there I know one day I'll find peace and I'll stop trudging on your back I'll recoil into your soil and become unattached I'll recoil into your soil and become unattached

"Crutch" I'm drowning I can't see the surface If I could breathe a sigh of something with a purpose I would be inspired to make this all be worth it If I could find a place where I didn't feel so weak I wouldn't be the one who's helpless when others are needing me If I could start again I would find what's lost So I could be the crutch to help the ones I love stand on their own feet Because a better me is a better you A better me is a better fate It takes a better me to better them I believe a better me is all it takes I'm thinking I just can't help but thinking If I could get away I could just stop sinking I could find my way and come back with a burning If I could start again I could be the man to fix and I would be the seed planted for better things but I don't see that now so I hope you can forgive me I want to be more than this I've got to be more than this If I could be more than this So you can be more than this Because a better me is a better you A better me is a better fate It takes a better me to better them I believe a better me is all it takes Because a better me is a better you (I want to be more than this) A better me is a better fate) (I've got to be more than this) It takes a better me to better them (If I could be more than this) I believe a better me is all it takes So you can be more than this Fades with: Got to be more than this Got to be more than this Got to be more than this Got to be more than this

Foreign Horror Seems to Have way more kahonas than American does recently? Posted: 7/14/2009 1:59:45 AM
Mr. Smart Fun, If you thought High Tension was sadism then you definitely wouldn't like Inside or Martyrs! Very graphic! lol I did see The Others and The Orphanage and they were pretty good! IMO the best part about The Orphanage was Guillermos influence on the style! The story seemed flat to me! I did see the Japanese version of The Eye just recently and besides wishing it was still Jessica Alba in the main role it was still better! lol

Foreign Horror Seems to Have way more kahonas than American does recently? Posted: 7/13/2009 11:30:00 PM
The French filmmakers are sadistic as hell and the Japanese ones are on some serious drugs but they are making far more creative films that are actually original as opposed to America and it's crappy remakes! I'm definitely not a movie snob but here are some suggestions if you are a HUGE horror fan like myself and you are hungry for something where the film makers had the kahunas to make something original and that pushes the boundaries of how far horror can go and still be respectful then here's a list of suggestions: The French- Inside-Pregnant woman trapped in a house with a crazy lady who seems to want the baby even more than she does. Great visuals and intensity in this movie. A great thriller that takes you for a ride once the film gets going! Martyrs-I WON'T truly recommend this movie but I will say that it is the first movie I've seen in a LONG time where I thought it was almost to intense to finish. It disturbed me! I can't say it's bad because it affected me and had me going back and forth on whether it was just powerful or exploitative so in that I'll say it did it's job! High Tension-I'm sure most know this and the enjoyment hinges on whether the final revelation works for you. Like most of what the director has done since! It's the first French horror to get me curious though about foreign horror! Notable mentions: Them, Calvaire, Frontiers Japanese: Audition-I think this is pretty well known but it's basically a rich man literally auditioning woman to be his next wife. She turns out to be f*ing cuckoo! I love the subtle moments in this film that give me the creeps! Tokyo Gore Police-Holy crap was this a f*ed up movie! Just for a brief synopsis, it involves a privatized police force battling what are called Engineers! WHEREVER, the Engineers are hurt they grow a weapon in that region! Use your imagination there and you still won't even come close! So out there I had no choice but to enjoy it! lol Spanish- Pans Labyrinth-Love Guillermo Del Torro! Nuf Said! Norwegian- Let The Right One In-Deep, introspective artful story about vampires that makes me even more sure I won't bother to watch Twilight anytime soon! Props to USA for: Hard Candy and Eden Lake were two exceptions I saw in the last five years or so! Have you seen most of these? Do you like them? Do you have any other suggestions? Peace!

MJ Memorial: Truth and Tears of a Child Posted: 7/8/2009 3:41:48 AM
In a night of a memorial A night of spectacle and emotion of tribute and devotion the purity of words washed the night away Family Friends Legends Fans All came together for this man when all was said and done Ones words had become All that there was to say Since she came from the womb Her first words consumed By the world Were for the man Everyone thought they knew As the mike was lowered To the one to closest to the truth You had to feel something You had to be moved At the end of a night filled with song and dance It ended with the words Filled with simplicity Poise and elegance Words from a daughter about a father A relationship Closest To the man That she comes closer to Understand Than anyone one critic or any one fan In the tears of one child We see what MJ loved Nothing scandalous Just Innocence Just the Purity of Love The world of the jaded The Judge and Jury We created Hasn't reached this ones world Because like her father She only knows the world for beauty and saw her fathers soul A man that like her had yet to let that soul grow old

Goodbye Michael Jackson.................. Posted: 7/8/2009 2:28:08 AM
I don't think I've seen such a sad moment as I have just barely seeing MJs daughter speak her peace and state in tears what a good father Michael was and how much she loved him! That was the realest, most pure moment in the memorial! I think that only the most jaded could have seen anything staged or insincere about that! If nothing else maybe this "freak" was a human! Who better to give that perspective than his own daughter. She came off as very brave, spoke with grace and in a line or two said more than what the whole memorial had. I think she truly lost a great father and she and as well as MJs other two children have suffered tenfold what the rest of the world has in this event. :( Peace!

"Forgive Me Father" by David Ford Posted: 7/5/2009 11:46:32 PM
I went out of my way to find these lyrics from the new David Ford song because I'm in love with the song and he definitely is one of the better lyricists today IMO! Peace! "Forgive Me Father" by David Ford Exactly where should I begin? Forgive me father, I have sinned Caught perpetuating wrongs I screamed an accusation Yet convinced that still I can Somehow be better than I am If I could only bring myself to step in one direction Now all the progress I have made has left me bitter and afraid I’ll bolt the doors and let the trappings of my life surround me And hope to God nobody calls I’ll trust the scratching in the walls To be my comfort and my shelter from the world around me Ignore the whisper on the wind Forgive me father, I have sinned Right now I swear I’d cling to anything you’d care to show me To save me from improper thoughts, a modern miracle of sorts Against the tide of advertising and survival only A precondition has been set And every new potential threat must be eradicated from the face of all that’s sacred And none shall stand before the cause I’ll be hysterically yours And deaf to any reason, evidence or explanation So tell me what have I become? A middle finger to the sun I traded fireworks for love and I was left with nothing But paper shards and empty shells A burst of sulphur blown to hell It just might be that all this history has taught me something It’s taking lessons from the past I won’t build anything to last, but engineer to fall apart the day the warranty expires So keep the wheels turning round Keep the flag pinned to the ground Just don’t look back and don’t look down In fact, just don’t look at all Or you’ll see opinion dressed as fact and definitions inexact Explain away the darkest days as misinterpretation It’s like the dumbing down, It’s so uncouth Like there’s one single f***ing truth Like right or wrong or left and right could be so uncomplicated Swagger dripping from the stage I curse the impatience of the age It all takes time, and time is money Money talks, and talk is cheap Cheapest road to lead the way From seed to forest in a day And by the time the sun is set there’s only dirt and matchwood So could it be the end is nigh And the time for idly standing by is now upon us? Everybody look to some distraction I throw my patience to the wind Forgive me father, all my sins Feel like they're woven double-stitched into the fabric of the world…

New rap music Posted: 7/5/2009 5:23:58 AM
My favorites are Mickey Avalon, Dirt Nasty, Andre Legacy and Beardo who together make up the Dyslexic Speedreaders. They just make music that satires the new bling bling rap and their attitude in their music reminds me of The Beastie Boys when they did "Fight For Your Right". They are all unlikely faces in rap as well which make them more interesting. As far as serious rappers, the last one I got into was Sage Francis who's a great lyricist who blends rap with touches of spoken word and poetry. As far as new rap music, I can appreciate hip hop that is made to dance to. A lot of rap in the early days was made for fun and didn't have to change the world. So while I love artist like 2pac and Public Enemy for their social messages I'll jam out to Black Eyed Peas, Flo-rida, T.I. and Outkast any day. Peace!

I like both worlds of music! The underground, indie, etc. and the mainstream! What I hate is choosing one over the other! :) I haven't even found a forum, nevermind a person, that feels the same way with the exception of one or two friends I've known forever.

Ben Folds A Capella Posted: 7/1/2009 10:10:52 PM

Ben Folds A Capella Posted: 7/1/2009 3:07:59 AM
Has anyone heard the last project by Ben Folds where he had various A Capella groups sing songs from his catalog. I can't lie, I buy everything Ben Folds but I was reluctant to buy this one because I was afraid it would be corny. I ended up buying it anyway and I was shocked. I loved it! I would even venture to say that parts of it were simply beautiful. Obviously the harmonies were amazing. The standout track for me was "Magic" which was from Ben Folds Fives second c.d. and wasn't even written by Ben himself. Has anyone else tried this c.d. out? Impressed? Disappointed? Indifferent? Let me know! Peace! p.s. The last time I put a question about a particular album (Blue October) it got deleted so I hope this doesn't. If it does could someone just tell me straight out why an album question might get deleted here. Thanks!

As far as the beard I haven't had a full one in quite a while. I just like being honest and giving a full perspective on my profile.

Indie musique anyone? :D Posted: 6/30/2009 10:39:46 PM
lol Try finding your music soulmate living in small town NH! My problem is that I like a little bit of everything so I can relate to anyones music to a degree but very few can relate to the stuff I have the deepest connection to. As for your question, I like the indie stuff that isn't afraid of a little pop sensibility like and own all of Regina Spektor (love the new c.d. Far) and both of Eisleys! Decemberist (I have The Crane Wife) aren't bad and I'm slowly getting into Iron and Wine. I like a couple of songs by the Shins, Death Cab For Cutie and Band of Horses as well. My personal favorites indie or indie labels bands are South FM (broken up), City and Colour, David Ford, Katie Trotta, M83 and One Less Reason. If you include more mainstream indie labels like Tooth and Nail, Vagrant, etc. I could name tons more but I'll try to stay within boundaries. lol

O.K. I tried a simpler header over the song lyric and eliminated the smiley faces! I agree the smiley face thing comes off as unnecessary now that I think about it! As far as the length it's understandable but I know when I'm surfing that I hate short profiles that say nothing. It gets me thinking "Why are you here again?". Maybe if some can tell me a more concise way of saying what I have presented and still paint the same picture. To expand on things, I haven't had trouble getting responses! Actually I've had some good content in my messages where I got to know some cool details about people and share my own. At the same time I seem to reach a stop at about message three each time. More than trying to get a response I'm trying to paint a full enough picture where the girl can tell from my profile what the good traits as well as the quirks are from me so I'll rein in the girl who'll already have the initial interest. I want to be past the interview part quicker and just have a fun conversation and if she's already interested it makes the process more fun. To anyone with the patience to read, could you throw me some tidbits! Peace!

Markwing68 I'm not going to lie! I like your debating style and you've done your homework! You also haven't cracked and come off as rude in my opinion. I do find it unfortunate and a little distasteful that there couldn't be one tribute thread for the artist that wasn't polluted for the people that were true fans (way bigger fans than myself) to just put in their well wishes! Another thread could have easily been started for the verbal ping pong matches! My idea about music in general is that it should be something that brings peace to people. It's the ultimate catharsis IMO. I come here to share in that as well as expand on what I like but all people do here is have arguments that can't very well end because what you like isn't something that can be rationalized. It's an endless battle usually with the same handful of artist being thrown around monotonously to win some sort of musical battle royal. Just don't see the point! Who wins? Peace!

Thank you PLB! That's a huge compliment coming from you! I'm starting to feel more of a place here! "The Aqua Mist of Silence" In the aqua mist of silence we were awkward blushing violets saturated under the sky's joyous tears In her eyes I saw an island paradise beneath her eyelids as I brush the dew from the dark strands of her hair My forehead rested on her forehead my palms braced on her hips our heads tilted slightly to quench the thirst from our lips our own little haven one of our few moments alone our moment beneath that bridge was a moment I lived A moment I felt home

Hello! I'm not a newbie here guys and gals, so I honestly can say that I'm not here to find out whether anyone thinks I'm hot/ugly or if my accolades are appealing enough to get anyone interested. All the content I want is in my profile to describe who I am, what I'm interested in and what I want in a woman. It's all ME bare and honest! Here's what I humbly ask from you! :) All the info presented I want to keep but I want to make sure I'm representing myself right in the WAY I say things. Sometimes I don't recognize how things come off as far as tact when it's in writing! I don't know what TMI is as well socially on here or if something can be said in a way that's not so awkward! Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated and absorbed! I appreciate your time! Peace!

Goodbye Michael Jackson.................. Posted: 6/29/2009 11:28:47 AM
I think our biggest mistake is to put all these people on a pedestal in the first place and go into shock when they do something or get accused of something less than perfect. In Michaels case far less than perfect. My favorite musician is Billy Corgan but I can admit that he seems like an egocencentric pretentious pr**k. I'll never throw away the art he makes because I love what comes out of him as an artist under ANY circumstances. Person and art are separate IMO. In Michaels case, I like his music but he's not even in my top 50 artist. The only reason I've made post in regards to him is that I knew people were going to jump on a bandwagon to down anyone that loved his ART when it's a TRIBUTE thread. "Goodbye Michael Jackson.... " is what the thread is titled and people should have the right to that. Opinions are cool but why didn't ANY of the people who were more concerned with crucifying him for his accusations or even his accolades start a different thread where it's more topical. It just seems to be people baiting people which seems unnecessary. This is not directed at any particular person but I believe that we are missing the point of what art is. Maybe the art world would be better if artist just released material anonymously to be judged on it's own merit! Peace!

Am I that ugly??? Posted: 6/28/2009 5:28:03 AM
Here's what I don't get! You exposed insecurities about how people rated you low on your looks but you did the same thing to them! The difference is that your opinion wasn't asked for by the ones that rated you but you asked them for theirs! They gave it! This whole thing seems vain! I think there are a lot harder blows a person can take to their self worth than a rating on their pic IMO!

The Far End of the Black Posted: 6/28/2009 4:13:00 AM
The Far End of the Black by J.R. Richards It's in those days when nothing seems right when the world feels as if it's stumbling from a fight I pray for you to wash the harm from my back for my greatest fear in the world will be that I won't be there to stop the world if it comes to take you that I won't be there to stop the world on the far end of the black there was light and it was you I wait in the black as you bathe yourself in light and pray for you to wash the harm from my back my greatest fear in the world it will be that I won't be there to stop the world if it comes to take you that I won't be there to stop the world on the far end of the black there was light on the far end of the black there was light and it was you but you don't seem to care your smile is your dare to those around you - beware

Pulp/Jarvis Cocker Posted: 6/28/2009 2:24:11 AM
I love "Like A Friend" off of the Great Expectations soundtrack but never heard anything further! Was that a typical song for them or a departure in style? If they have other songs like that could you recommend one to listen to? Peace!

Is it possible to look past insecurities Posted: 6/28/2009 2:05:44 AM
It depends if the insecurities are internalized or projected if that makes any sense! Like if they are so insecure that they practically hate the world and everything around it and blame them for everything that takes more work than anything I could fix. If they just need to be reminded that they are a beautiful, intelligent, kind person that could do anything they wanted if they put there mind to it then I could do it! If I love someone, I do believe they can do anything but if someone is so hardened from their own doing then it's beyond my abilities! Peace!

Markwing68 You're right if you are trying to say that society is a fickle bunch with a low attention span! lol I, like you, enjoy old soul artist like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. I don't believe that Marvin is still being plastered all over the place either but his music like any talent is still accessible based on marketing nostalgia just like MJs will be. Any music that ever made an impact will be in popular consciousness because people always believe that if it's old and was once popular then it's "classic". So outside of arguments about artistic merit which is impossible to prove/disprove outside of preference, Micheal Jackson will forever hold relevance because art and commerce is forever carried by us as part of societys nostalgia.

Corrie862 Thank you! I didn't follow Farrah Fawcetts career as well, but like so many people, my life has been affected by cancer. I've had an Uncle and Aunt who died from it and my heart goes out to any who experiences something that painful. People who try to fight that are so brave! So in saying that I agree that Farrah Fawcett was another huge loss and may she R.I.P! peace!

Goodbye Michael Jackson.................. Posted: 6/27/2009 12:59:30 AM
These are my feelings on the MJ situation and celebrity in general! Let's demystify the artist! People let's raise the bar! He was just a man! He was just a star! He didn't create the pedestal You did! Then you knocked it down because he's human! He's just a man! He's just a star! He left you with something bigger than him! He gave you his art, love, and hope! You only saw the grim! He's just a man! He's just a star! He died alone and banished by the world he knew! He was accused of things of debatable truth! He's just a man! He's just a star! He gave of himself like a man! He played your shining star! He sank into darkness like any man whose world turns on his heart! He's just a man! He's just a star! He splits the sides in two but no side knows the truth! He should be respected for his art! That's what he did contribute! He's just a man! He's just a star! MJ, Rest In Peace! Forget the world and sleep! As a man your creations seap into our creative conscious deep! He's just a man! He's just a star!

I wrote this because I love art and I believe that it transcends celebrity! IMO, A persons art should leave a trail and not his actions! I especially see this now where WE built up an icon and after leaving our existence we still find it tasteful to publicly trash him as if we never expected him to be human in the first place! I would love to have a thread about celebrity in art in general! Hopefully, you'll feel free to contribute! Peace! Let's demystify the artist! People let's raise the bar! He was just a man!

Communication Posted: 6/26/2009 9:37:25 PM
I've learned that sometimes you are with a partner that is volatile at communication and it leads you to other means of trying to figure out what to do. I've learned that when the communication gets to that point that the solution is to walk away because if you are meant for each other the ability to communicate will be there in the first place.

My question to you is..... Posted: 6/26/2009 8:42:43 PM
Hi, my name is Bryan! From the few post I've made on here I'm potentially a whiner, troll, drama king, attention whore, etc. Here is my perspective about the issue! I use these forums as a sort of blog to project my feelings and regardless of the outcome seeing what I write helps me to put things in perspective! I put myself into someone elses world and gamble on getting a golden nugget of advice! Not one poster has any way of knowing what piece will be most beneficial to me so a VARIETY of replies is beneficial to me! I find that I try to be as humble as I can even when the advice is harsh and I don't lash out at people who give it to me! I do try to give more perspective in response to what they say because the more info I give the more they can add. I find the one thing that is the most helpful is when people give personal experiences that reflect how they overcame or figured something out! When someone says "Just be confident!" or something that pointed I always think "Well great, were you born that way!" or "Where did you find yourself waking up and getting that"? I crave perspective! I also wish that people would realize that common sense is thrown around like we all learn the same! If people just learned that people learn best from not being judged then the world would be a better place and people would actually be better human beings through others kindness! Sorry, if that last comment is too bleeding heart! lol Peace!

New Music. On It's A**e Posted: 6/26/2009 8:27:25 PM
I'm sorry guys but I just don't get why I can't ever find a forum out their where "music lovers" do anything but rant about how much music sucks blah, blah, blah....! Where are the "Music fans" that just can't get enough of the medium altogether! The addicts! The ones who just feel the art rather than being pretentious about how the same tired groups are the ones who will never be topped! Maybe it's because a lot of you guys are musicians and it becomes a craft rather than an art! Maybe you are just jaded! I don't personally know! Zzzzzz! Have your favorites but add to the plate! I love the old stuff, the new stuff, the alternative, the rock, the rap, the alternative, the dance, the adult alternative, the electronic, the pop, the country, the disco, the classical, etc. I may not like Celine Dion, for example, but I don't make a thread about it! I may make a tongue in cheek reference or a remark about but I'd rather explore, explore, explore new music than waste my time on not liking her! That's my rant on ranting! lol Peace!

R.I.P. MJ! I don't care about your infamy! I respect your legacy! When it comes to artist it's about time that society respects an individuals work and creative genius over their personal life! We put talent on such a pedestal only to knock them off and forget what attracted us to them in the first place! MJ, you helped me appreciate pop music! Peace!
