Random Thoughts Part 4 - Split Thread

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise

There's so many fighting
To get past the Pearly Gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren't that good
And I can smell the asphalt
That's their personal road to hell being paved

And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
But it's much to late when the fear is gone

Yeah< I'm that depressed!

Isn't there a mandatory joke now: oh, so you come from ...[enter city name]?

EDIT. Lisa! : I heard of this trick, I don't know if it works, but may be worth a try:
stare intently at a point anywhere for a few minutes. The idea is that the neurological
channels that relay input from your brain to your senses are the same as those relaying data
from the outside world to the brain, so that you cannot do both simultaneously, because the
channel can be used for one or the other, but not for both.
This means then that if you stare for a while, you cannot
receive/experience the depression. This is from NLP; I read about it a while back.

No, it really isn't :/ With texlive you can do anything, with word you have to first google and find out whether what you want to do can be done in word in the first place ^^

Common, you know the amount of effort it took me to say something good about Minisoft or one of its products? You know how long I had to look?

My daughter makes a difference in kids lives.

Taking the time, teaching respect, giving confidence, makes a winner.

I have been working off and on for over a month putting a new top on a guitar. I got a cheap, mass produced guitar used at the swap meet for $10 to experiment on. The sound board was warped, but I figured I could slap a door-skin replacement on it without much trouble. Turns out I had to make all kinds of clamps, and I figured I'd better lacquer it, So, I have shelled out about $20 more. I am one of the few people I know who can sped $30 and several hours of work to turn a $10 guitar into a $15 guitar.

Kind of weird to see the main guy from "Burn Notice" staring in "Fargo".

But think of the skills you have squired

I've been putting in an average of 14 hours of practice a week on my (electric) guitar for almost 2 years now, but I still can't play those 16th notes at 240bpm. Kinda frustrating when sustained hard work doesn't pay off.

 

[WWGD]

Don't know why I did this: I was leaving a public bathroom at a coffee shop and saw someone walking in.
I told him: good luck!

Had some yogurt go bad. What does it turn into? Isn't Yogurt a form of spoiled cheese? How can
spoiled cheese become spoiled? I guess similar to the way cheese itself --spoiled milk-- may rot.

I dare you to eat it!

Only if I can respond with a dare to you in return -- after I recover.

Challenge accepted --- only because midterms are tomorrow and next week. Perhaps I can have them deferred if I get sick enough!

Will you send some KGB thugs after me if you get too sick?

I can't resist! But I like it...badly! You excite me, so please tell me when you want me to excite you back!

Maybe you meant to post to some other forum ...?!??

Oh, but he was so good! He completely changed his appearance and demeanor. It took me 5 minutes to figure out where the hell I'd seen him before.

Here in the Soviet Republic of Canuckistan we have Mounties. The most you'll get is a night in a warm jail cell with a moose, guarded by a Mountie who is most likely a bloody Maple Leafs fan.

I actually can't agree more.

Why can't you :) ?

So what is it with the so-not-Canadian Avatar?

He's not Canadian. He slipped up with the crack about a jailed moose. He just about said, "moose and squirrel."

It just cracked me up so I used it.

I think I remember reading or hearing an interview where the guitarist for Pink Floyd said his fingers got all mixed up trying to playing fast. Maybe fast is not your thing. With all that practice you can probably do some great covers though.

 

[KiggenPig]

You literally have to slow down your playing a complete crawl, and play it repeatedly over and over until you progressively get a little faster. Guitar takes a ton of patience, which is why many people give up the instrument altogether.

If you persist, you will see results.

And as Spinnor said, David Gilmour is a good example of how sometimes less is more. But it all depends on what you like or want to play.

Several people brought donuts to work today. I had the bacon donut. Ummm, sugar, salt, and cholesterol...

But moose in Canadian translates to mouse. A moose in the heuse.

I always here "moose and squirrel" in Natasha's voice.

If you know what I'm talking about, you just dated yourself .
