What's on your mind?

[deathstorm]

Iceni. Having a meltdown oh boy

[Iceni]

And here I thought our coffee date went well...

You said you didn't like Unexpect. I distinctly recall thinking 'aw dang'.

Pedantry and excessive verbosity?

True, they haven't done me any favors in the romance department...

And here I thought you were still baffled by social interaction

That's true, but I'm learning. ...mainly, I'm learning that I can't be bothered most of the time. People, or Doritos? Usually I answer that question pretty quickly.

[deathstorm]

Have you tried Doritos loco tacos.

[RelentlessOblivion]

That's true, but I'm learning. ...mainly, I'm learning that I can't be bothered most of the time. People, or Doritos? Usually I answer that question pretty quickly.

Well in fairness I can't be bothered dealing with people most of the time. It's a shame the overwhelming majority of the world's population are so thoroughly uninteresting.

[Bastet]

Well most people are just stuck in a box most of the time and can't see what is around them. It is very sad really. I think there should be social media shut down so I don't have to listen to something about Facebook or Twitter or Snap-chat or whatever site someone is on. I really think that has broken the walls that we need to be interesting or individuals not copies of someone else.Why do people have identity problems...

[FatherAlabaster]

You could always just log out of your social media accounts, or turn off your computer... And Iceni, why can't you eat people and Doritos at the same time?

You must be right. All those fluids make the chips soggy. No good.

[Iceni]

I think that'd be a great parody prog album title.

I hear Osmium Skull will be fronting the new Involuted Cortex album, Conflict Of Crunch - supposedly it's a double CD but they're meant to be played at the same time.

[deathstorm]

Lol. Iceni

[Bastet]

I think that rant mostly comes from the working with people younger than me that have to be connected to them all day every day. I would turn off my computer if it wasn't for the fact that I mix on it most of the day. But anyways life goes on...

I really think that has broken the walls that we need to be interesting or individuals not copies of someone else.

One could say the same thing about the Internet in general, or television, or radio, or even the printing press. Anything that allows people to communicate. One thing I can say is that social interaction has allowed me to define my musical tastes much more specifically than if I hadn't had access to the wide world of metal available on emusic, Napster, Amazon, iTunes...I used to be a classic rock fan, which pretty much every teenager is nowadays - but thanks to the Internet and this site I can look at the recommendations of dozens of individuals. And I don't blame social media for the lack of diversity among 'the youth', I blame the youth themselves, and their unwillingness to defy their peers. In any case, they certainly don't consider themselves to be like everyone else, they think of themselves as unique (albeit in a safe way, that doesn't alienate their peers). And they are perpetually interesting to one another. For example, I hate listening to Game of Thrones fans talking to one another, but I know that everyone in that conversation is very interested in what's being discussed. They might be interesting, just not to anyone listening in on the group. It would be remiss to say they're boring. I have seen boring. I live in a town of boring. Boring wears a gingham shirt. Boring is going bald but is not quite there yet, and works an admin job for the Distribution sector of the PR department. Boring gets his news entirely from television. Boring spends his spare time doing the crossword and reading mayoral biographies.

Well said Iceni. I just look at things and the people around me from a different world, if you want to put it that away. I didn't grow up with a lot, and I did a lot of reading, painting, sketching and playing and listening to music. I will say that you are right about the internet and being able to find new things on it, like metal. I listened to mostly what my mom listened when she was growing up. So yeah without the web I wouldn't have the awesome collection of music that I have today. Or be able to talk to interesting people from other places on the globe. I just wish the youth today would pick up an actual book and read it or take a backpacking trip into the wild. just so they can see that there is more to life than technology, even though it has become a dependent for the lot of us today. Yet it may just be my view on things and not others. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

That awkward moment when your shuffled iPod plays a song you would never even think of putting on it and, when you tell siri to delete said song, she instead turns repeat on Yep I'm treating the forum exactly like facebook

[Iceni]

I saw a small inn on my way to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania that was, without a hint of irony, called 'The S&M Lodge'.

Was it 'Cake' by Rihanna?

[FatherAlabaster]

S&M can stand for a lot of things besides "Symphony and Metallica", you know. Did you stop over?

[FatherAlabaster]

On my mind, well, this new band. I'm trying something different. I've been recording a demo for the guys all day, and if I get it approved, maybe I'll post it up here briefly. I'm really looking forward to getting some songs in place and recording them with a real drummer. But I'm having trouble recording the vocals, I need to get the mic and various settings sorted out. I kind of blew my voice having fun through the wrong setup, and I'm hoping I have another good take or two left in me before I need to recuperate.

[/quote'] No, but I made plenty of jokes about the idea that the beds were a little uncomfortable and that the staff uniforms were a bit strange, and how they probably preferred guests to come through the back door.

Maybe it was a Sex brothel. Inn iceni
