What is your opinion about money? is it important? how much exactly do you value it? are you careless with your money? would you like to be less/more careful with your money? What do you use money for, aside from the essentials for living?
Personally, I don't give a **** about money. Aside from the obvious things one has to spend money on, I work a full-time job so I can do fun things. I said this earlier today "the only thing money is good for is that you can trade it in for newcastle". I've always worked a shitload my entire life, I've had around 10 jobs and I'm only 21. I used to come home with a wad of tips after bar tending and just throw it on my dresser and a 50 will fall down the crack against the wall that i'll never find and never even realize I lost. Aside from that being 36 potential newcastles I could have drank at the time, I don't care about it in the least. I do keep better track of my cash than that currently, but my attitude still remains the same. The only purpose of money to me is good times with my girl and a buzz, aside from the essentials. And if I lose some, oh well, I'll just castnet some bait fish and sell it with my commercial fishing license.
There are so many people that are uptight with their cash, then there's even more dirty little thieves out there that you can't leave alone around any possession you care about, especially money. Problem is I don't care about money, so my solution has been to disassociate myself from all thieves (75% of American population) instead. Screw thieves and money.........And yeah, it's good to have goals that involve money, but people need to lighten up.
Yes, it's in the art/music section. I believe this beer to be so uniquely delicious that not only does it deserve it's own thread, but it deserves to be labeled as a work of art. Who here agrees?
If you haven't tried this beer than you have never truly lived.
I'm normally not a clumsy person, but I have had the 2 clumsiest injuries of my life within a 3 day period....
First was a few days ago. I was walking down the steps after a nice hard rain and slipped 6-7 steps away from the ground. Landed on the last step, my arm under my ass so my arm took the entire fall, and my forearm totally broke through a 1x6 lol. I have a pretty damn big bruise and it hurt, but somehow i didn't break anything aside from the step. Maybe it's fractured or chipped though and I don't know it, who knows.
Then this morning I was a little late for work. I hopped out of bed and started frantically brushing my teeth kind of. I went to brush my tongue and was still doing it pretty fast....and then proceeded to stab the back of my throat so hard that it breaks through a little and I lose like cup of blood(8 oz) if I had to guess. It doesn't really hurt now, but it's kind of irritating having a toothbrush wound on the back of your throat lol
What the fuck is deathcore? You have got to be kidding me.. hardcore got even shittier and increased their audience? lol
There ARE some ok hardcore bands though, I guess. This is the only hardcore band I've ever gotten into, pretty much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUUfHgfd2Ho ^I have a lot of fun covering this one.
I've never seen someone sweep pick in person, ever, aside from a distance during a live show. For the longest time, I was just so clueless to how it works. Then 3 days ago I thought about sweeping and how I hadn't tried it in 4-5 months or so. To my disbelief I was doing it practically my first try at a decent pace, muting all the notes individually and still being smooth. I'm completely self-taught and picked up a guitar for the first time a year and a half ago... i've never had any instruction by any means except for looking up and creating tabs. Which brings me to the topic I wanted to discuss: I don't think sweep picking really has anything to do with 'complex brain timing' and other stuff I've heard and read. It has to be just simply getting your fingers into shape, as well as a little manifestation..from my experiences with it. I'd like to see some other opinions on this, especially from some other guitar players.
Their albums have always rocked and always will. Can't really name a number 2, but here are a few anyway:
Wrath by Lamb of God: Very surprising for me to even mention lamb of god, being that I have never liked them whatsoever. This new cd kinda owns though. They incorporate thrashier riffs and decent solos in it. This one gets a
Crack in the skye(I think that's the name of the album?) by mastodon: It's decent for mastodon, but still just an ok album. Not a big mastodon fan, although they were pretty cool live when I saw them and slayer when i was 15 years old.
Infection by Chimaira: Chimaira is somewhat of an interesting band. Not insanely talented or anything but I've always had an ear for them. I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed in their new album, being that in the 2+ years it took them to put it out their sound may have gotten worse BUT, nevertheless, it's still in your face heavy ass riffs with subwoofer hits haha.. still a for the most part imo.
We're now approaching the end of President Obama's first 100 days in office. I made this thread so we can generally discuss his performance thus far. My definition of presidential performance is very non-partisan, just fyi.
Obama has been doing good so far. The thing that I like the most about obama (I didn't like anything about him pre-election being that obama didn't have much of a resume for me to judge him by..) is that he actually tells the country what he's doing. One of the worst things about George W. is that he didn't do this. (ex: GWB: "we're doing our best to handle this" obama: "THIS is what we're doing to handle this: .. . . ..."
I've been watching the news pretty frequently and can't help but notice how idiotic the Obama haters sound. When obama is mentioned on fox news daily, a mentality is always used that pretty much re-states the following: "Hello America, take a look at how Obama has fucked up today!". He hasn't fucked up.... yet. And you know what? I couldn't give 2 shits if he did fuck up because then it would allow me to see if Obama possesses genuine presidential qualities or not. After a mistake, i would like to see obama say "Look America, I fucked up. This is what we're going to do to fix it."......opposed to George W. who never manned up and took blame for any of his mistakes. That, was without a doubt, the WORST thing about Bush.
Yesterday I heard Rush and other wannabe conservatives pick Obama apart for the statement "in America we are constrained by the Constitution". In actuality, Obama was referring to how Americans have to abide by certain laws, unlike those in a certain other country. However, they all decided to take the statement out of context so it sounds like a radical liberal statement, which it kind of does if you didn't know what really happened...... propaganda if i've ever seen it.
Coincidentally the same people who are trying to make it seem that Obama keeps screwing up are also the same people who backed Bush to the very end. Bush and these people really give the conservative party a bad name. Bush wasn't even a true conservative, IMO. Can anyone tell me how blowing all of our money is 'conserving the old ways'??
Anyway, Obama has been doing a decent job so far. He's a seemingly smart individual and even more so is an incredibly smooth operator. No matter who or what he has to deal with it, he seems to handle it very accordingly (opposed to Bush who would use 1-liners like "bring it on" to other nations..). But, I'm not saying obama has done anything great, I just mean what I said, which is 2 things: 1) Obama is an intelligent, smooth-operator that walks the country through his executive decisions and 2) the Obama haters are full of shit.
Looks like it's going to be legal in California eventually. Looking back in semi-recent U.S. history California is pretty much always the first state to do something like this, and in turn the policy is adopted nationally within 10-15 years most of the time. My bet is that Alaska will be next to do so after Cali. What a shame though... because I just got diagnosed with a pre-glaucoma(my mother has glaucoma fyi) stage, being that I will most likely have the disease in a decade or 2. So by the time I can smoke weed legally for medicinal purposes it will already be legal anyways... bummer!
Also it will become legal just as we are FINALLY getting out of this recession so the taxation of this amazing herb won't help our current situation.
What do you think should be done about this? Should the government continue to bail out banks that go bankrupt? NO.
Why are we giving money and empowering people that have screwed up when we are already in the hole!?!!? The best action to take, which I've been saying for over a month now and haven't seen it suggested once, is to give those banks to the banks that HAVEN'T screwed up. Obviously they're doing something right... or did I miss something?
