What's on your mind?

[Atrocity]

Wow that's beautiful, people can have endless conversations with you! You always come up with something new

[RelentlessOblivion]

It does make conversations more interesting. Now if you'll excuse me I have to ride my bicycle, I have to ride it now, I have to ride my bicycle, it doesn't fucking move...

[Atrocity]

I am so singing Queen right now, thank you

[RelentlessOblivion]

Bicycle, Bicycle except it wasn't put back on the trainer properly meaning I can not train effectively.

Abandon my sweet bicycle? Perish the thought. Why whatever would I be without her. She is my entire world. Sorry folks I must leave. Some charming young fellows in white coats have asked me to go with them on a short trip...

Bicycle' date=' Bicycle except it wasn't put back on the trainer properly meaning I can not train effectively.[/quote'] Maybe it's time to focus on your guitar playing?

[RelentlessOblivion]

But, but, but, but she'll get jealous. Hell hath no fury like a bicycle scorned.

Not giving up music after all, then? The world breathes a collective sigh of... something.

[Iceni]

I despise ads with condescending kids lecturing their parents. Just once I want something where a brat gets punched in the face.

[Atrocity]

I'm thinking about getting singing lessons again. I would like to start as soon as possible but I'm thinking about waiting a few months to move out. I don't like singing around my mom.

You should! And I too never liked singing around my mother because she was a voice teacher and very critical. Both my parents are profesionally trained singers and are perfectionist when it comes to singing and music. They kinda sucked the life out of enjoying anything really.

Today's good news: I got a friend of mine, a painter, to sign this little contract tonight... Roughly translated it says: "I, Igor ..., solemnly declare that I will paint Michiel Dielman's portait with a luxurious and grandiose moustache on his lips." Both of us signed it. The bad news is I made a bet for honor and 50 beers (of course honor is the most important part) that I could find the one mistake in that friend's paper about soap bubble catenoids. I'm all but knowledgeable about the subject and only have one week, so I probably should get to it. Now.

You should play them necrophagist lol

[RelentlessOblivion]

In today's exciting news our cat is a FUCKING PSYCHO. He's just randomly atacked me for no reason whatsoever purring while he did it. Now my legs are covered in bite and scratch wounds but hey at least that cat is happy.

[~Mere~]

Yeah that would be funny. But I don't talk to them anymore. It's just better that way.

Mine is not a professional but she sucks the joy out of anything. When I was in high school I was taking lessons, and once I came home happy because I managed to sing something I had difficulties with and stupidly wanted to share my joy with her. She told me: "my poor child that will not put bread on your table." I felt like she hit me with a frying pan. That was not the point, I didn't want to make a living out of it, I was just happy I made it, and she killed it.

[RelentlessOblivion]

On my mind: the racing I'll be doing this weekend. 10km time-trial (ha! what a joke) and an 86km race on consecutive days. No real gains to be made from that short tt but the race will be interesting.

I feel good about myself and she instantly asks "will that get you into the paralympics" the answer is no "why are you wasting your time then?"

I don't understand how can you do that to your own kid. At least now I'm old enough to see that she's frustrated with herself so she spits poison at anyone who's happy, but when I was a kid it really hurt my selfestem, especially when it came to thing I was already insecure about, like singing.

[RelentlessOblivion]

It's astounding really. She will feign support at first before tearing into me if she feels I'm starting to feel too confident. Ok if I were arrogant that would kind of make sense but not when I'm only just starting to feel good about myself.

To discourage your children from doing something they take joy in, even if they're not very good at it, is so detrimental. Unless your my oldest son who was playing an Ocarina earlier, it sounded like he was killing it, and not in a good way. I told him and we both laughed our asses off about it Sorry you had to go through that.
