I've got some friends
some that I hardly know
we've had good times
I wouldn't change for the world
those were the last lyrics that really smacked into me as to the situation I've found myself in during the last couple of years of my life.
how many people have been trapped in a situation with a person that they can't escape from cause they have to see them almost everyday.
This person also at one time seemed really awesome but now has revealed things that make them not so... problem is they were so awesome in your eyes for so long you don't want to believe the not so awesome things, and while typically this would turn you off them, you can't seem to flick that switch and all you can do is try and push past this stuff even though you can't, one of the few things you cant seem to deal with.
now everytime you see this person you are still gonna think they are tainted awesomeness, you'll want them all the same, but you'll feel heart broken everytime you think of these few issues you can't deal with. Reguardless of weather you can deal with these issues, this person still does not care about you in any similar manner.... so you need to escape from whatever infactuation you have while still seeing them everyday.
whos pulled it off...?
I used to have a strange reacurring dream when I was younger, maybe 7-9 years old. My brother and I would be inside a large industrial like factory of some nature and there would be monsters we would be trying to avoid and escape from (very where the wild things are in depiction as I recall, probably read the book too many times at that age or something). None the less we would always escape to this hillside where we could look down to the industrial like building and see the monsters below, at this point we would know we were safe. However the strange thing was that I seemed to know it was a dream because in the dream I knew how things would turn out because I knew I had been through it all before.
it was so long ago, but those are the key points that stick with me, I know when I was younger I had a few different dreams which I'd have over and over again several times, but none are memorable to me today like the dream mentioned above.
Its such a bore, the whole ‘lets throw our ignorant, tow the line, political views around’ thing, it just turns into a pretentious we love liberalism and archaic conservatives suck feast, its all very cliche’. considering that most of those that do the knocking have more than likely trodden on others to chase the glimouring carrots of temptation them selves. but then again hypocracy is the human condition no matter what view one holds.
its not even as if labour is a working class party anymore, its full of career politians interested in personal gain... see how annoying that is, some wanker just throwing around some relatively ignorant statement.
the herald talked of his controversial subjects and short comings. With the condom thing, I think its an irresponsible attitude, but then from his perspective if they’re following his direction they wouldn’t be having sex before they married. However with the situation in Africa many already would have aids from childhood.
saw him in the flesh last year during may, while you just wouldn't think so looking at the guy, true rockstar, people go mental when they see him. None the less hes an impressive site to behold, even though ill and old he spends hours in front of crowds giving his sermen in many languages that he delivers himself. While a lot of people will object to his morally conservative views, his many acts of his eventfull life should far outway his more unpopular opinions when you look to someone of that nature as a role model like figure.
the other weird thing is, for most of my life when I've seen him on tv its an old, sick, frail guy... but when he first became pope he used to ski and swim.
but going back even further, I think I liked the playing of scott reeder more so. However a similar style in many respects.
As far as I'm concerned, while the ICC are too gutless to stand up and be acounted for the history and respect and 'honour' of cricket, then these guys are perfectly fine doing what they do. I wonder how bond would go with a little kink in the arm? could become the worlds fastest bowler, or maybe keep his current pace but reduce the stress on his body.
will do. i've been looking at the prospect of buying a five, and I was hoping to spend around what you're selling for. So to me this is great, because I know they're good basses, just too much money new for me to afford.
I'll email you when I'm a bit more certain about things, week or two.
no neck problems... but as you say well looked after, i assume its all good :)
well I'm in hamilton and starting a new job tomorrow, so basically I'm very interested if you can hold off selling it over the next two weeks. I'm not fussed over any minor aesthetical ware, its just part and parcel of second hand equipment. As long as the electronics, and hardware are fine thats a really good price... oh no neck either.
but yeah, thats a really fair price from what I've seen. Did you get a good deal on it to start with?
besides, I'd be interested if it weren't for my lack of ability, amplification, experience and the fact I'd most likely kak myself having to play live. Anyway there'd be heaps of better bassists on htown that could probably help you :).
but hey, what a stage show/stunt, all be it smelly and messy.
oh, most people want all the flash and dash of great musicians. is it just going to be a random event when you play? as is, no set date?
Again (like on htown) you forgot to specify which instruments you are in need of and the calibre of the musicians who are to play them and experience, those kinds of things. I see your site has downloads linked, which songs are you likely to have in your set or how many songs (25minute set?).
if anyone knocks your song for sounding like someone elses then I'm sure you could go on forever pointing out all the musical cliches in 80% of the music on the radio and where those songs are derived from. Or, the easy and possibly best reply.... the finger.
save, save, save, because the first thing you will find is everything costs twice as much as here, and they all earn like four times as much :). seriously when you're hungry don't go to mcDs, its cheaper to eat as a restaurant.
ugh, I hope it works out for him and its not just to let him see his dream of being a cricketer once again. To be fair though, he is a good fielder and has bowled well, hes pretty quick too, but if we need the job of a fast medium bowler we have tuffy and cairns who are experienced at international level, we should be developing a tear away.
wilsons batting is okay, but not against top line attacks, hes a bit hot and cold I think. But then again hes still one of or the most talented new zealand sportsman, so full credit to him.
how much have you done to help? did you care about the poor and suffering in those counties before? what about africa which has been stuffed for decades? Sure the post is callaus, but they're only pointing out the reality for a lot of people. Sure I feel sad for those people and am willing to give a little, but its token and shallow, we're not going to really care in a few more weeks, mean while suffering will continue.
why did you post that! I'm 16 measures in and lost! it works really well untill that point (in my eyes), but it can't loop back to the first 8 measures (not smoothly) and if the next 8 continue it will be to tedium. I need to write something that offers relief in the 17 measure, but I'm just not good enough to uncover it, its going to drive me nuts all night.
then by the time I stumble across it I'll be happy and go to sleep and when I wake up will not remeber it, o i'll go to stick it into GP for safe keeping and won't be able to figure out exact durations, eh. No, positive thoughts, positive thoughts, song will write its self.
you probably just paid for someone to go to the big day out, bugger. Did you have ID in the wallet, that could spur some honesty.
yeah, I guess you're right in some respects. For instance I liked the medium I used for the piece I did last/this morning, I enjoy the message and even the humour, but the finished product is just lacking to me in terms of accuracy and overall look of what was in my head. Its not a failure, but I can't help looking at it and thinking I could of done such a better job if I took the time... next time I'll just have to take the time.
are there? I realise that I'm no great composer or painter or anything, but I've never been (to the best of my recollection) happy with any piece of art I produced. If I start writing a song, first day I'll be happy with it, if not the next day then the day after I'll find it boring and uninspiring. If I start a drawing I get to a certain point where I stop and throw it away because I am sure I can do better. Eitherway it results in things been started and discarded unfinished and with music and many other concepts, forgotten.
knowing that there are plenty of artists on this site, are you ever happy, whether your art is musical, verbal/written or visual or whatever it is.
I think I'll just have to force myself to finish things, whether I'm happy with them or not, at least I'll have something to show for.
hmm, I've considered that if I ever record music, well properly, like an EP or Album, I'd like to take my favourite bass line on it or the first recorded and tattoo it as an arm band in bassclef form. its kind of tacky to some, but it beats getting some asian pattern as a band that I don't understand or have a connection to.
