Hello xlt-
Last night I had a dream. Well, it wasn't a dream as it was a thought before bed.
Actually watched a short documentary about how people are pretty lonely these days. And how online communities like this actually serve a lot of deeper meaning than just talking rubbish about IDM/EDM or whatever people call it today.
I have not been here in probably 6-7 years? And I remembered what fun it was.
So this morning after I wake up, I log in (remembered all my sh*t, surprising) and see it all again.
Same insane messageboard format that has been this way since like 2005, with lots of the same posters
I can't say for sure, but I experienced a supreme comfort at that.
-- Most of you won't care, which makes this place perfect: I'm alive - still running and growing a business I started after college.
I still listen to electronic music (much less, and I thought the Collapse EP was utter nonsense).
I bought a bunch of synths, and do that sort of stuff, and I fly a lot.
Oh, and for those of you who go back 15-16 years.... I still haven't figured out the ladies and that damn thing called love.
I will try to post some perhaps (at least less annoying threads than this).
so, xoxo to you all. Thank you for still being here. It's really good to see the old place again.

and also how the f*** is this message board still so slow? :D It's 2019, don’t electrons move faster now? Didn't some scientists figure that out years ago?

Portnoy - ha, yeah, that was wild. I am still friends with her (we dated for a bit, didn't work out). I showed that to her once... like 5-6 years ago. Blew her mind.
Dadonck- yup, still in PDX. I don't know what the hell that video was about, but the 10 seconds I watched was awesome. There are a lot of synthesizer stores and people do crazy things here.
Old Hobbes - it was weird, I just thought of this place last night and got a warm fuzzy feeling. So here I am

mohamed - negative. Well, I mean, he's still a human/alive I think. And there is some street named after him. And this town loves sports (I don't care at all).
Are you impressed I know the name??
dadonck- very interesting you wrote that. I have decided at the end of the year to 'retire' for a while. Going to do the trans mongolian railroad (I travel a lot anyway), and figure out what is next.
No family, got money saved, yeah. Not enough to never work again, and I love working. But I've gained a lot of experience for the next business.
See, this is why I come here. You guys know things. It's weird.
I appreciate it.
