there was a huge 3 page article on AFX in this free somewhat underground type newspaper that runs around the southside of the city, right down here on the "ave" - so its a fuckin cool newspaper, not like news youd hear in a regular paper. Anyways, the article talked a lot about his past and upbringins and stuff ill try to get that copy and maybe scan it for this site. |

RDJ isn't just a pretty face, he makes music too!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it true he had this disease where smelling something for example evokes things in other senses (dunno what its called) read that in some interview, dunno if its true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know that he said he's ablew to do lucid dreaming |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he made music while sleeping or sumthin too right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's maybe not, but he has his best ideas dreaming |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You mean synesthasia? Didn't know he had that (but people have it to varying degrees- he may have it mildly). It's not really a "disease" synesthates typically: are happier, commit less crime, have greater skills of memory, don't consider it an illness- although their maths ability is typically poor, there are notable exceptions to this (Vladimir Nabokov for one) and the benefits are usually seen to outweigh this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's this about living in a bank? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the come to daddy ep was made whilst RDJ was living in a bank. I think....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoa! a walking enceclopedia :p yeah come to think of it it would be cool to have that 'disease' all these stories might be made up tho, sometimes the media and all see him as some sort of god |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he still lives in a converted bank i believe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...in the vaults! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think he's really sick... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah thats prolly where he keeps his DAT's with unreleased songs we should assemble a strike force w/ commando's and all to get those out of there heheh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And uses the echo properties of the stairwell as a giant FX box... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah.. he farted & recorded the sound ... then released it as druqks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And capture him and make him create tracks for us in exchange for food >:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want that mp3 player he lost |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he spent the first fifteen years of his life at the bottom of a well. he never saw another human or the light of day. when he climbed out he spent years trying to recover from the psychological trauma but some say he could never really adequately develop social skills |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and when (or should i say IF) he tours, he locks up his important stuff in the bank vaults. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and he likes chess and mathematics |
||||||||
|
|

Someone said that he some sleeping disorder - I have a small question about this, but it's off-topic since it concerns me: Has anyone else, and please be serious, had a sensation, when you're about to take a little nap or something like that, that your body suddenly gets charged with electricity (like an epileptic episode or something) and that it is impossible to move? I've had this in periods since I was about 18 yrs old (am now 25) and I've not found anyone that seems to have the same thing. My girlfriend however sometimes wakes up and can't move a muscle, but she doesn't feel the electrical surges that I do. I've read a little about this and it seems that these strange half awake half asleep states, combined with this sleep paralysis, is a perfect steppingstone for having a Out Of Body Experience. Has anyone here felt these same things while going into or waking up from sleep? Here's a "paper" about it: http://watarts.uwaterloo.ca/~acheyne/S_P.html |

Yes, his liking maths & chess is what makes me sceptical that he is a synesthate... mind you Nabokov was a famous synesthate and an absolutely amazing chess player (read "The Luzhin Defense" or his autobiography, "Speak, Memory"). JoakimLinden: My dad suffers from sleep paralysis about once a year on average. He gets the sensation of presence that typically accompanies it too. Where does the "Joakim" in your user name come from BTW? |
