chnt

have an ambient segment

cool man, nice response, and i agree with you now, i just didnt agree with the first post because of the perceived set of rules. and yeah it's totally cool to want other people to like your stuff, but if you go down that path you can easily turn into something like this cringe

sorry to be a pretentious douche, but i disagree with your post rabaelthazar, in art, there should never be a set of rules that an artist has to adhere by, creativity, experimentation and non-conformity should be encouraged, not every song adheres to a 4 4 time signature, not every song has a set tempo, not every song has a verse chorus structure, likewise not every album has a set structure, length, number of tracks, etc.. there are concept albums that might have a specific track order for a specific reason, there are abstract albums with a not so specific order, it's all art and it should all have meaning to the artist, and that's what is important. if the artist tries to conform to a set of rules or what they think other people will prefer, instead of following their own creative direction, then the art will lose some of it's uniqueness and become more meaningless, artists should make art only to suit themselves, and it's a bonus if others like it, and generally the best art is made this way, given that it's all a matter of opinion.

hutch, you are a disgusting human.

leave it up to artists discretion for what ever reason they want, there are too many variables to define, unless they aren't giving it a thought..

finally read it, worth the read.

holy fucking shit. i want to eat synthetic banana

just watched it all, so sad, you wouldn't wish that life on your worst enemies, but i believe there are people that are responsible for creating this lifestyle, people that care about money and power.

mother fuckers. what i meant by this " violent offenders were helped and counselled in appropriate mental facilities" i meant as inpatients in a mental institute, they wouldn't be allowed to roam free, they would be in a facility, but not a prison, an appropriate facility that can help them, not make them worse, which is what prisons do. i wasn't having a go at you, and you are right you weren't voicing your opinion, i just feel strongly about this issue and felt the need to express my opinion. edit: nice one qualia

7baz, what's the problem with plain packaging, how is it bad? (in this case, specifically plain alcohol packaging.) tripsis i disagree, there is no need for prisons, did you know there are now privatised prisons in th US, ie a profit is being made from inmates, the majority of inmates who have been through the injustice system obviously aren't wealthy enough to afford a good enough lawyer, what am i saying, prison is full of rich people not the other way around. also, the majority of inmates are there due to drug possession and dealing, and for things like weed.. do you think they deserve to be in prison? dont you think society would be a better and safer place if violent offenders were helped and counselled in appropriate mental facilities, and non-violent drug addicts can go into drug rehab and therapy?

hilarious. i welcome plain alcohol packaging if it ever comes

awesome, thanks for posting these wise words, when i have time to read i will definitely check the blog. thanks morg

watched that first vid, will definitely watch the other parts, film board of canada is the bomb.

so i was invited by a friend from my home town, to his gf's 21st, it was a boat cruise, i said i'd talk to my gf and get back to him. i discussed it with my gf, basically my position was, it'll most likely be completely shit, it'll have shit music, and if we dont like it we'll be stuck on it for 3 hours. but perhaps it'll be something different, being on a cruise, and my gf who is very keen on photography might be able to get some good shots, being off land and all.. even though it'll be dark so she probably wont get any good photos anyway, we ended up deciding to go, cause we very rarely go out, cause there's not that much of a variety here in perth, if you dont enjoy listening to radio music, or enjoy drinking and listening to radio music, or hanging out with pretentious and or stuck up people, then you're basically fucked.. neither of us are that keen on drinking, due to the disgusting social norm, we'd much rather have a bit of weed or something. so we drive there, and i have to pay $3.40 per hour for parking, and the cruise is 3 hours, so i put $8, then go to cancel it cause i wanted to use up all the silver coins, but i accidentally press confirm instead of cancel, so then i'm fucked so to avoid a parking fine i put another $2 in for the extra half hour and put them side by side hoping the parking dude wont be a cunt, oh but before all that, the one free park that was there, some obnoxious cunt parked his ford performance vehicle diagonally and it's rear was well over the line so i had to reverse and go forward a few times to get enough room both side so everyone could get out.. and then we get on this boat, and we're waiting around for half an hour before it departs, and i'm like fuck we're gonna get back too late and i might get a fine, but what ever i wont think about it. the place is full of lifeless deadshits from my home town, all drinking cause it's so fucking awesome, and the music that's playing consisted of: black eyed peas - just cant get enough chris brown - yeah 3x katy perry - E.T. rihanna - rude boy eiffel 65 - blue (slowed slightly) hot action cop - feva for the flavour nikelback - figured you out venga boys - ibiza you get the idea so yeah we were having a fucking great time, not drinking and listening to amazing music, watching people downing drink after drink and dancing to the music, singing along to some of the songs and sometimes i'd get stopped by people and have to engage in small talk, so fun. and one invited me to his house "there'll be heaps of drinks", yeah wicked, sounds like fun. then half way through my gf needed to go to the toilet, but it turns out they were all blocked cause some chick put some tampons down one and it blocked the whole system, so then that was even better. but it turns out that because of this, the boat had to dock early to fix the blockage, and when it did, after 2 hours, we asked the barman if we could get off, and he said "no, it's illegal to let anyone off without a ramp, dont worry it'll only go for another 40", even though it went for another 70. we decided to go out the back and climb off the boat. when we were off some angry boat staff dude says to us "get back on the fucking boat" which was really purposeful, we just walked off, so thanks to the tampon girl we got to leave early and i didnt get a parking fine. had a wicked night. end rant

thank you for your kind words santiago, i have found that many people here are really kind and good people and i'm glad to be a part of this forum.

i have chronic neck pain, i have found mushrooms were extremely helpful, completely nullified my pain.

^ that sounds pretty cool, good on them

a lot of social norms, ones that inhibit freedom and personal choice, i suppose one can argue that the social norm of wearing clothes inhibits freedom, but i guess you can say that i am a fucking hyporcitical pretentious cunt. by the way i'm not trying to be offensive to you, i just like to joke around.. but i have no problem admitting i'm a hypocrite, i just try to do it in ways that are not as prohibiting, like damage control or something, i dont know.... i think we are seeing eye to eye.

good for you incog,

like i said before, i dont hate alohol in itself, and i definitely dont believe that everyone who consumes alcohol conforms to what i'm ranting about in this thread. there are many things i hate about alcohol and drinking culture, and i'm sure many of it has been discussed here on multiple occasions. i'm just really against social norms, which i'm sure have also been discussed here multiple times too. my thread was a rant about these things but i was personalising it to my own experience, i was just venting, because it's healthy to vent and i'm the type of person who'll keep shit inside and let it build up, so yeah, whether you can relate to my OP or not or whether you agree with points raised or not, it's all cool. but in saying that it's all cool, i still think it's wrong that people will happily drink alcohol, even if it's in a completely responsible and healthy way, if they are then completely narrow minded and closed off to "illegal drugs", and they have a negative view about them, when really they are completely ignorant, i'm sure this has been raised before, there's just so much ignorance in this world and it's responsible for many things that have a negative impact on the earth and nature and humanity and shit... and to lampy, from a little place called albany, why do you ask?

i also enjoyed this post, especially these two. .tn hc.

yeah i rarely go back now, and if i do, i dont go out and socialise. might catch up with a friend or 2 but that's it.

loving the posts. zen.. sounds exactly like where i grew up, i'm not the type of person to look for fights, but i was in a few in my teens. the surfers and skaters were worshipped, and they'd hang out in gangs, and they'd push you around if you were younger and there were fewer of you than there were of them, just really awesome people, people destined for great things in life. i happened to be one of those younger people, and it didnt help that my uncle taught at my primary school, and my dad taught at my high school, and they were both disliked by these people, so in turn i was disliked, but, my personality in turn meant that i was held in high regard among my friends, standing up to those cunts felt really good. years later, christmas of 2009, i'm back down there, i'm out drinking (yes that's right) with my mates, walking to a pub, and a dude under his breath calls my indonesian mate a "jap cunt", firstly the japanese look nothing like indonesians.. secondly who the fuck is this guy? i turn around and say something offensive to him, but turn back even before i see who it is, i wasn't interested in fighting, he starts mouthing off and wanting to fight but gives up when he sees me walking away not reacting, my indo mate tells me it was one of the dudes from way back when, a few hours later i decide on a bit of nostalgia and walk from town back to my parents house, instead of joining my friends in going to the night club (literally hell on earth), along the way home, i hear some guys talking from their balcony, and as i walk past the house i hear one of them say "watch this" and a moment later, i feel a bottle skim my hair and drops of beer land on my shirt.. i look down and see another half full beer bottle they probably threw at someone else.. i picked it up, turned around and ditched it at the house, it missed the window just.. smashing on the wall, what a great sound it made, i continued walking but stopped when i heard them all coming down to greet me, the leader of the pack and instigator of the bottle throwing coincidentally was the same guy who said "jap cunt" a few hours earlier, i couldn't believe my luck. he started mouthing off at me, getting in my face, "dont throw bottles at my house cunt" cause yeah it's totally ok to throw them at my head.. he started throwing wild rights at me, i was just trying to block them as i slowly retreated in fighting stance, though he landed a few on my left eye, i could already feel it swelling, his mates were egging him on. once i grasped the situation and realised his mates were gonna gang bash me, i decided to retaliate, that wasn't the only reason i didnt retaliate at first, i have to get worked up first, because my subconscious doesn't want me to fight, but those few punches that landed helped ok my body to proceed. i threw out a jab, but he dodged it, and i could feel that my subconscious still wasn't letting me go at him, but then his friends made quite the fuss at my pathetic jab.. without wanting to humiliate myself further, i decided to go for it, so a moment later, i jabbed again as i stepped forward, he dodged of course, his dodging skills weren't bad, though he didnt know how to throw a punch.. as my front foot landed forward, i then came threw with a round house kick to the guts, jokes on you for defending your face buddy.. i floored him instantly, i then approached him, and started punching him in the head with my right, but i stopped shortly after once i realised he was holding on to my leg and not moving.. he obviously didnt want to fight me, so i pulled my leg out from his grip, then turned to his closest mate, there were 5 or 6 of them altogether.. i approached him and told him that if some cunt throws a bottle at me, i'm gonna throw one back, and the guy was nodding his head, he didnt wanna fight me either, and no one else approached me, but the leader came back up to me when i was talking to his mate, started mouthing off at me again, putting his hands on my neck pretending to choke me (dont you fucking kick me cunt, dont you dare fucking kick me..), i hardly even looked at him when this was happening, if he hits me again i'll retaliate, but he never did, and eventually they all walked back home.. i felt pretty good after that, despite having a swollen eye, i hope i broke at least one rib. part of me wishes i fucked him up real bad, really taught him a lesson, i could have easily, it turns out i've done kick boxing too, and brazilian jujitsu, but i'm really glad i only did what i did and nothing more, i just couldnt believe it was those same guys, all older than me too. i really fucking loathe my hometown. santiago.. i live down near vic park, maybe one day you can come over for a cone on me if you would like. i'm really happy to hear that you can enjoy yourself so much without needing a drink. i am very particular about things, and i have a very low tolerance for many things, like music i dont like, and arrogant cunts that i dont like, so i generally can never really go out and have a good time, unless there's a good artist playing somewhere, which for me isn't often at all, unfortunately. i have profoundly greater experiences in my own house than anywhere else, i dont mind staying home, though it would be nice to be able enjoy going out.

to zen i have nothing against drinking alcohol per se.. i will drink on occasion, but yeah i think you understand where i'm coming from as i understand where you're coming from, i'll have a glass of wine or two occasionally, and very occasionally i'll have a whole bottle. i also grew up in the country, a shit hole full of cunts with the small town mentality.. i started drinking at the age of 13 cause i didnt know any better, it was the social norm, so i did it.. how naive i was for years of adolesence, drinking myself into a stupor, vomitting for hours, crying, chronic hangovers, this was when i was between 13-16, finally i learned my lesson, learned how to drink more responisble, i still drank regularly up until the age of about 20 when i decided to stop drinking altogether for almost a year, i'm 23 now.. i developed severe depression at a young age and part of it was most probably from the drinking, but there were many other factors too. social norms are a pile of shit.

to santiago thanks for the reply man, you raised some really good points and i completely agree with you, (oh the hypocrisy..) like to said there's no incentive to not drink, but then also you feel like a cunt and people are gonna judge you if you go up to the bar and ask for a glass of water or something like that, and then people offer to get you a beer, nah nah i'm not drinking, "what!!? you're not drinking!!? you're fucking crazy!!!!", no you're a fucking ignorant douche, who's probably never heard of mescaline, lsa, dmt, etc, go fuck up your body drinking exessive amounts every weekend, go down the path of alcohol induced dementia, i can have a great time while having a positive effect on my mind and body while you're degrading your life, and throwing all your money away. and yeah the redbull thing is just one more fucking ridiculous aspect of it all. i also love being a mad cunt. oh and the shed man, what a fucking hole, what a fucking hole perth is.
