good I tend to incorporate odd ethnic bits into the music that I make usually it is as simple as that extra something for the rhythm

yeah yeah software choices ya know it is a career choice not a software choice it is me at the root of my human self wanting a better future evolution if you will

but if the messy room is an elaborate system a web of pneumonic links tween many forms of matter and thought what does that make the mind

indeed.

If you are too lazy too type, or have no regard for your audience (the ones who read your thoughts), then you obviously have no regard for your own thoughts. A friend of mine once said that a messy room is a reflection of a messy mind; to paraphrase I say that a careless letter is a reflection of a careless mind.

If others care about you more than you care about yourself, then it's time for a reality check.
You are neglecting to keep in mind that many people have dyslexia; a condition which can make spelling and reading almost impossible.

Berating a dyslexic for bad spelling or grammar is akin to berating a person with a lame leg for walking to slow.

Try to have a little patience and realize that the rest of the world will never meet the standards that you set for yourself.

Understood. Thanks for the input, Ziemas...I had no idea.

I struggle with face to face communications as an autistic person (no, I don't like to talk about it, either Retem. ) I probaly overcompensate with my writing, as it is one of the only ways for me to sustain "normal" conversations. I am hyperlexic, others are dyslexic. There are more similarities than differences here, I suspect; the common language we speak is music.

I have recorded over 700 songs in the past 15 years, Retem. My door is open if you ever need me.

Sincerely,

~James

I had an autistic friend in high school crazy kid always asked me to tell him to draw something his pictures looked like photos even if he couldn't see the cat infront of him I think he ended up a mechanical engineer

yeah we speak music althought it is ethnocentric usually it is not a bad thing we carry things on from our parents it is how our culture is perpetuated

thanks chris I have been getting a hard time from someone named serendipper and schnee
Sorry, but it's not hard to punctuate correctly, and if you can't take a gentle tease with a smiley then you're far too sensitive.

You are not a unique snowflake, you do not deserve special treatment, you are not above being teased.

You are neglecting to keep in mind that many people have dyslexia; a condition which can make spelling and reading almost impossible.
Hey, guess what, I'm dyslexic and ADD! Does that mean I have more of a right to pick on other people for spelling than anyone else? Sweet!

Badass. I wanted a bassman, but finances drove me to a MusicMan Sixty-Five instead. I dream of having a hammond, but soft synths will have to suffice for the time being.

Thanks, but I'm happy with my setup right now. I've got a really good amp tech here in Boise who seems to be afraid of money. I hardly have time to play what I currently have let alone search for new gear. It's just a hobby for me.

No, it does not.

If you think it does, it just shows how immature you are.

You forgot to punctuate.
