okay god, i'm sorry i don't talk to you very often, but i'm
unsure what your plan is for me. i used to think it was
atheism but that leaves and unpleasant aftertaste in my
mouth. then i thought it was optimism but that's far too
sweet for me...
you've taken my grandfather from me, thanks to that i wrote
3 songs that i still listen to at least once a week, and now
it appears that you'll be taking my grandmother in a short
time... and yet i can't find the creativity in me to truly
articulate the feeling of hurt and anguish into a workable
audio format...
nonetheless i will pray, and hope, and maybe see your plan a
bit better tommorow, amen

pretty odd, i appreciate the support, you're like a very
good bra
...
my grief has apparently ruined my ability to make analogies,
as well... well i suppose i'll try again w/ the keyboard and
the synthesizer

thanks...

well in my experience, I can only do something with an
experience (be it through making music or writing) much
later, when its all over.
in other words, when theres some distance between me and the
subject.

You're not a user I often take seriously, because of your
caustic sharp wit and whatnot, so it's unsettling to see YOU
of all people showing your emotional side, in your own
Diemaxian way. But that must suck like nothing has ever
sucked. I can't even imagine what it must be like, I'd lose
my mind personally, nobody close to me has ever died.

Music is all I have, I'd find solace in that. So do that...
life is a bitch.

hehe i appreciate the support ophecks you're like a...
nevermind-
anyways, in response to qrter i PERSONALLY usually
articulate my emotions AS i'm faced with them, (and no, i
don't think i'll have better luck right after the funeral)
so to me this innability to turn emotion into sound is quite
a shock... it's like not being able to breath- but not
suffocating...
i'm sure it will get better- or at least that i'll be able
to feel better about it...
yeah, and i think i'm just gonna do some cheesy cut + paste
drill 'n' bass tonight
i don't think i'm up for anything complicated

don't be worried. what I described is quite normal,
psychologically seen. the way you've worked up till now is
quite exceptional..

that image of a brah is quite vivid. can't shake it.

yep, holding up the flappy protruding metaphorical bussoms
of my id and ego
wow... freaud would probably shoot me for that one...

and i don't really worry... i just wonder, i'm not even
really sad... just unsure
of course i could be rationalizing or justifying all this to
myself... but i'm too lazy and life's too short
goodnight everybody!

Don't go Diemax! We didn't even embrace in a totally
platonic and heterosexual way! I just want to comfort you.

ophecks... as much as i'd love to make some assinine quote
about your assumed sexuality/gender/location/"size" i really
don't have it in me, so i'll give you the choice between
either coming up w/ a caustic come back of your own, or
reminding me when i'm not so down- either way i am turning
off the internet and working on all those goddamned remixes
NOW

that's life- and see over there? that's the end of life.
it seems so simple and yet it's the most difficult thing in
the world for a human to understand...

i appreciate the kind words

Diemax,
I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. Though you
walk through the valley of shadow and death, I will make you
lie down in green pastures. I'm not asking for optimism,
just faith...

-God

Not exactly the kind of thing I usually post on here, but
with you started it, and I didn't exactly feel like I could
ignore it. I think everyone at some point feels unclear
about the plan for their life, but you've already said
you're not giving up, that you're praying and hoping that it
will become more clear and... that's the best thing you can
do. Sorry if I've gone over the line and offended anyone, as
I said before, I try not to do this.

condoleances...

i would like to say something kind to you, but i fear i'm
too numb and selfish to find something to say...

i don't really believe in optimism, nor in pessimism. as for
god or atheism, i think it's more complicated than just god
or no god — i won't go on with this, but i try to rely
more on myself and my own imagination than on humans, and i
try to rely more on humans than on god... i have the feeling
that things just happen, without any sense of justice or
injustice... i don't think it's the right way — it's just
the way i feel it — i don't think there is any "right" way
(but that's not a reason to be sad)...

shit, all i found to say was about myself again... sorry...
:(

in order of posts:

qrtr yes, i finished a remix of chemical existence (as per
usual if anyone wants to give it a listen i'll be on aim)
and no, i'm not feeling any emotional rythms- but i AM
feeling better about it

pomme de terre, I'll check out the site as soon as i finish
w/ this post

jabizzy, don't worry you didn't cross over any lines + read
the next one

uzim, everyone has theorys about god and religion- mine are
similar but not identical to yours, though i don't
neccesarily believe in a god, i pray to him, because the
name is easier to remember and more people will understand
what your talking about- but what i'm not really praying TO
heaven, i'm praying FOR heaven- anyways-
it's difficult to comfort someone with WORDS without
mentioning your own religious/spiritual beliefs, in the real
world hugging usually works much better, but this is an
internet message board, so i understand

anyone else who posted i suppose i'll reply to in due time,
meanwhile i'm off to check out pomme's link (thank you
everyone)

i don't get it...
so i sent an email to the guy who runs the site (or
whatever) maybe (s)he'll have the answers... or maybe
(s)he'll use my email for some witty joke... either way, i'm
really not sure what direction you were trying to stear me
in, but i'm either to dumb/blind to see it, or you gave me
incorrect directions...

you don't have to read through everything i suppose.

but, something happened to me when i discovered this site.

you seem to be in a receptive position and i wanted to share
it with you.

ive been where you are. more than once.. so has tristan
farnon apparently. maybe that's all it takes to be pryed out
of that "thing". a response to a call..

maybe im not making any sense, maybe you'll think
leisuretown is a bunch of masturbation jokes.. maybe this
will all be in vain...

..just my way of trying to assist

btw: btw: btw: "i wish"

oh i see...
well i suppose anything is worth a try, but what works for
some doesn't work for others example: the very sunlight we
love so much that gives us vitamin d is absolute poison to
any exposed amino acids (the stuff that makes up yer dna)
well... that's about all i can say
btw btw btw btw btw afk
