Foo - I'm ghey: Inde-Rock Prop post

Music is a powerful thing to many people. I say many because some either have this trait and some don't, i suspect more do then do not. What is it? Basically, a certain song, group of somehow related songs or an album comes to represent a time.

I'll never lose the feeling i get when i listen to Dookie from the 1st track all the way to the perverse hidden track. To me that album is significant, not because it's mind blowing (by any stretch), but because it's the first real album i ever listened to and learned.

At any rate, at this crossroad in my life I've encountered a fairly new album that speaks to me. I feel i owe them money for putting my feelings into words.

Now excuse me while i go loath in my emo-ish inde rocking world of self pity.

Feel free to kick me in the nads and tell me to stop being such a *****

there are several songs that come along during pivatal parts of our lives and for many reasons they stick
and follow you

Does the constant emo tude make you feel better timmy?

"Blink, blink"

Is that a cute little rainbow pony I see on my screen?

When I get depressed I listen to Staind or Cold.

Thing is, in contrast to a lot of Wilco's work, this music if pretty hopeful and upbeat. In regards to my posting habits of late, they are what they are. I've always said what's on my mind.

I suppose i could ask you if your constant attention seeking behavior makes you feel better? But that would kind of be like the pot calling the kettle black wouldn't it?

Luckily for you and the rest of the forums, I'm talking to someone other then BF.net...

:beer: "13 Ways to Bleed on Stage" and "Year of the Spider" were awesome!

Wilco? Sorry, this time I have to agree with your statement in the subject line.

Don't knock it 'till ya try it.

[kicks timmy in nads]

Stop being such a *****.

Ok :o

Hey, you volunteered. :)

Dude, stop being a ****.

Why the post edit? It wasn't wannabe tough enough yet?

I know you're trying to be the tough guy, but you're coming off as the little girl on the play yard who just got her ball stolen. Grow up, pansy. Get over it.

glad to hear timmy.

and as far as music, it is very powerful to me too.
some songs can say exactly how I feel as if they had been written for me, but I find that If Im going thru something rough that it's a vicous circle to listen to something that might relate to this, it can make me even sadder, I find myself looking for more upbeat music or music that reminds me of being powerful and make the right desicion or 'snap" out of it.

I myself dont mind your threads at all.. like you said, it is what it is and again, Im happy that you found someone to talk to. I look forward to see you moving away from all this pain.

Post edit? Tough guy? Whatever bud...:rolleyes:

Get over "it"...what is "it" exactly?

My heroin addict brother who was just jailed?
My mother living in a single room apartment on 19grand a year?
My other brother living out of his car?
My inability to focus on school?
My girlfriend that left me?
Or the whole other host of personal issues that i need to work out on my own?

You don't know me or my problems, so instead of trying to come off like you do, why don't you go play in your pink underwear and piss off.

Post edit? Tough guy?

I never came off like I knew **** about your problems. This is my problem- the constant insulting nature you have around BF. I got on last night and saw it everywhere, why the need to attack others? is it making you feel better? if so, right on bro.

I never came off like I knew **** about your problems.

"Get over it"

'nuff said.

You think i'm an *******. Congrats, you've discovered another one of those issues i'm trying to deal with!

Have a pink cookie.

I like Wilco, though...so 'sokay wit me.


ps. I had an 'epiphany' album as well when I was a kid...Moving Pictures, by Rush. First album I could play end to end on Bass...learnt by ear.

Pheard, you're so perceptive. Will you be my therapist?

PS
I was being an ass to the guy last night who asked for advice then threw it back in my face.

"Get over all of it?"(it can apply to anything and everything, of which I may or may not know about, and obviously don't know about)

Is that more PC for ya?

Still, I don't know or understand even an infinitismal spec of your problems.

Thanks for the cookie.

"Get over all of it?"

Oh thanks, i feel better. I was thinking about it, and i'm over it all. I feel much better now. :rolleyes:

Emo Tude?

Timmy there are a lot of us here that have a lot of issues in our personal lives as well.

I am not trying to downgrade what you are going through but if I were to list mine, yours would be a smooth ride on a bike through the spring time weather.

All of our experiences and the tough times we have are very important to us, and the impact is sometimes very unbearable.

It's how you handle it, Timmy. It's how you chose to think. It's what you are going to do with your situation rather than wallow in it.

We care about you Timmy and if you need us, you know we are here for you. But there is a difference between hovering in your own darkness and then spewing it about the others vs. coming to us for the love and support that we so eagarly want to give.

Lighten up on Jon, Timmy. He takes a lot of crap (especially from me) and comes out with battle scars but his spirit is high. :)











OMG.. I just complimented Jon. :eek: (delete delete delete)

Emo Tude?


http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sad028.gif

We love Emo Tude. Or un emo Tude. Either way we love you. ((hugs))

Timmy there are a lot of us here that have a lot of issues in our personal lives as well.

Trust me, i realize this.

*edit*

Let me put it this way...

In what way does my experience effect your feelings of your husband? I suspect they don't. What we experience in daily life is personal...some of us are better equip at dealing with these things. I'd say for the past 15 years i've done pretty well at this, i'm just tired of holding the crumbling walls up.

Pheard, you're so perceptive. Will you be my therapist?

PS
I was being an ass to the guy last night who asked for advice then threw it back in my face.

nah, took the advice, threw the condescending tones back in your face. If you need a reminder, I can PM you the posts where you tried to imply your opinions as facts and use them to make me look bad and you look good.

I'm on an indie rock kick right now. Go get the new album from The Rapture. If it doesn't make you feel good, I don't know what will.

How egocentric of you... :rolleyes:

There is no way your experience can affect my feelings for my significant other. Did I say that somewhere??

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you decide to stand up and use your energy to turn the negative into the positive. I know you can do it, Timmy. Use your resources and don't let the bad situations tear you down. Get up and fight it, Timmy. Be creative. This is all temporary, not permanent.

And realize that things take time, one step at a time.

And remember that if you cannot do anything about it (your bro in jail for example) just remember that things are happening for a reason. In jail, he won't have access to the drugs and will be clean when he comes home. His bad friends have no access to him so he now has time to heal. Right? :)

No, actually it's egocentric of YOU. Read it again.

Man you're dense. What the hell makes you think i was referring to you and your lame ass coat?

In jail, he won't have access to the drugs and will be clean when he comes home.

Yeah, see...this is what i mean. He's got more issues then drugs, in fact those are merely a byproduct of something we've been battling since i was in 5th grade.

I told my dad last night that i've just come to accept the fact that sooner or later i'm going to get a call to come to a wake...

I don't have a coat, that's why I'm looking to get one. That's irrelevant, though.

I would think you were referring to me, since you quoted me did you not?

Ok, let me go through this one step at a time.

I referred to an unnamed person, you assumed i was referring to you (egocentric)...get it?

You may want to just ignore me, your energy would be better utilized here (http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=351204)

You want my opinion on the coat though, i think trench coats are kind of lame and i'm pretty certain most women feel the same way. Guys don't buy mustangs because guys think they are cool, they buy them because women think they are cool. So if you want to get a trench coat, go for it, but think about the statement it makes to society...

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had tried to tear down other members last night as well and call it "advice." My mistake.

Run along little boy...

Falkon, I think that coat is very nice. I think it would look cool on you.

Timmy, you must not be aware of the jail system. They aren't just thrown into a cell. Granted the system sucks but he is most likely getting the help that he needs to get over the addiction as well as a counselor to handle his emotional needs. Yeah it sucks not having freedom but maybe this is what he needs to focus on healing. They have psychiatrists, psychologists, classes, DOCTORS that can help him wean off of his addiction. There are medications they give that make the body not go through the "cold turkey" effects of quitting. They have a rehab program as well.

You might wonder why I know this. Because of my training with law enforcement. ;)

And I wish you and Falkon would quit bickering.

I say we out this. What the hell exactly is your problem that you feel the need to come off like an *******, then hide behind your rhetoric when you get called on it? I really want to know, because I'm what, the third person asking you this now?

Falkon, I think that coat is very nice.

this isn't about a gorram coat.

*sigh*

The only way you're going to understand my brothers situation is if we sit down and have a long talk about it. So, thanks...but no...i'm sorry, going to jail doesn't help him. He's been there before...


this isn't about a gorram coat.

Yeah, but what about the goddamn coat?

Why am I an *******? Who knows. Do you know? That would help a lot.

I've suspected some mild bipolar behavior but i mean...self diagnosis isn't exactly a healthy thing to go by.

I don't mean to react harshly. I don't think you're an *******, really. I think you tend to come off in the wrong way, though.

If it's frustration, I can understand, and this isn't about social life or goddamn coats :D. There's more to every story, I'm just not interested in sharing, much in the same way that you didn't feel you needed to let everyone know you had a brother in jail until now.

Either way, don't pile it on anyone else. You come off as having a lot of self-pity and unrequited aggression.

Dude, you're not my therapist...

haha ponderous. Do you really want to know why you come off as an *******? When you find out let me know, because you're surrounded by people who can formulate a message with tact.

BTW, who is your therapist?

I think it's your mother.

So, you have problems... whoopedy doo! Everyone has problems. Many are much harder to deal with than yours. Maybe you should try not worrying so much about holding up your crumbling walls and work on tending the fields.

this isn't about a gorram coat.

I realize that. I was just trying to soften things up here. Geez.

I think it's your mother.

TQ, I hate to break this to you, but you need to get an outlet beyond Foo.

If you haven't yet, maybe get to a campus counselor. Not necessarily for advice, but just for an impartial outlet to listen to you.

I hope you can do something like that and drop with the posts like "I think it's your mother."

But wait. Those that tend the fields have no bathroom.
