Moving, Throwing away stuff

have yet to experience an actual moving from one house to another, although i would most likely follow LD's example and throw away anything that isn't musically related.

Japanese Pranx

about the same reaction i got from the ol' Scary Maze, minus the ghost chicks chasing me around.

Moving, Throwing away stuff

Moving (hopefully) in a couple months. I still have a bunch of archived schoolwork and awful drawings from when I was 12 to 14 so those are gonna make a nice bonfire. All my old toys already belong to my younger relatives and if I need to get rid of (cheap) musical stuff I have can give it to my 8 year old cousin who idolizes me and wants to be a producer/recording engineer when he's older. Funny kid!


p.s. i am gay

Moving in a couple of days. But I really don't have much stuff to my name to begin with, so I've only had to throw away the things I actually really wanted to throw away. I'm just along for the ride at this point, the future looks bright.

I am in the same boat man. I am moving back to my old house in July, so nothing will be different. However, I have all my music equipment that needs to be shipped and that will be a bit troubling. I can throw away everything else besides my Total War games.

I just threw away about half of my belongings.

Before it felt like I had 20 mental processes running at a time, and now it feels like I have 2 or 3

I find I have a large place.. and I feel pressured to fill it with stuff that I don't need.

thus I haven't bought any stuff- just a nice few expensive things but other than that nothing really. I'm more a practical person - I only buy what I need and I use it until it practically falls apart.

Sounds more like a nice way to tell you she's not interested. I say let her go because you're stuck in friend zone. Either that, or get her drunk, sleep with her, and then she'll *have* to date you, right? :P

So I said "I'll wait". Her ridiculous response - "I already have someone in mind". She's not ready for a relationship but she already has someone in mind. Oh well... we're still good friends and I suppose that's for the better.

Anyone else having relationship trouble?

That's the exact same thing that happened to me :S Hug?

The point is,we have to move on, leave the world behind and plan for new things, forget that girl, there'll be better ones, I've been told. I feel your pain man, trust me :/

Sometimes they don't. Girls have rejected me ever since 5th grade. I guess I got to wait till college. High School girls are stupid.

I tell myself after being rejected 'oh well, they are missing out on something amazing'. That tends to help me move on quicker.

Perhaps it is a good thing that I don't get any girls?

Eh, to be honest, most of the girl i have like end up with someone who is abusive to them in some way, nd shows they wheren't the right person for me, cause i'm not going to treat someone like shit just because i want to date them/fuck them, that is bullshit and makes me really glad i grew up the way i did lol

The smoking i'm not quit so sure about, the blonde part, is they probably aren't real blondes, and they have terrible boyfriends because either:

A.) They're to stupid to realize they're bad for them
B.) They don't know any better than abuse
C.) They don't think they could do any better
D.) The Penis is too good to not be with them, even if they are assholes.

This is why i wish i was a lesbian

Girls have to date the "bad ass" douchebags before they realize they want to date a decent guy that'll treat them right. It's that simple.

I'm happily in a relationship.

Instead of asking internet forums for advice, be a man, take the girl by the hair and drag her back to your cave. Women like confidence, that's why they're with assholes.

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body. I've never been happier.

lol. I always just go out with the girls that ask about me. I've dated a few girls that I thought I was interested in before but they always get skittish and run away after a few days. Relationships work when both people want them to work and while it may seem emasculate to do things my way the relationships that have come from these have always been really fruitful. I've been dating my current girlfriend for almost two years now and I'm working really hard to keep her in my life after college. I used this tactic on my previous two girlfriends and those relationships also lasted around two years.

If no one's asking about you then get out more and be either a likable guy or a complete doushbag. Just don't be neutral or they won't know what to think about you.

Not really trouble so much as a stand still because of finals/me not making moves aggressively. I took her to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and out to sushi and a movie, and we haven't gotten anywhere physically. Not even like hand holding or arm over shoulder in the movie type things.

Next date we have I am totally gonna make a move though. Straight up gonna kiss her.

Its my birthday this saturday and kissing her would be the ultimate present.

Building computers/Computers and building them

So I havent upgraded my audio PC for about 6 years. Looking at building a modest beast for the studio. Originally I was just going to use my machine as a sequencer interfaced to my midi gear, but I'm over that stupid idea now, and would prefer to do everything ITB.

So yeah, currency running an AMD 4800+ with 2gb of ram. Looking into putting together an i5 @ 3.3ghz, with 16gb of ram, and an SSD or 10,000 RPM main drive, with a 3TB redundant RAID array for storage. I don't know shit all about what motherboard to buy, as I don't know what's best for audio. I've heard good things about the ASUS x58 or whatever it is. Recommendations?

Was thinking of going i7, but there doesn't seem to be much point. Anyone care to sway me?

I have it on my laptop, and it is a beast. I can run firefox, IRC chat, FL Studio, Ableton, a Total War game and more with no lag.

If nothing else, get the i7 just for the sake of futureproofing/longevity.

An extra $100 for hyperthreading and an extra 2mb of cache doesn't really seem worth it, but I guess I'll see what my pay looks like next week and adjust my decision accordingly ;D

16GB is excessive. The most you will ever need is 6, 8 tops. Unless you're doing something like rendering movie effects or such, I don't see a need for such a massive amount of RAM.

Yeah in my experience having multi-core processing doesn't per se help single application processes. The i5 has faster processing for each core, so even if its only two that might be better.

Then again I don't much of anything that technical with this stuff. Wheres Chris-v2 when you need him!?

I've never had relationship problems, though I hardly ever get into a relationship that is a "relationship."

It's usually just the mutual exchange of alcohol and sexual favors, but I've been in a great real relationship with my current gf for about 8 months and don't plan on it ever ending.

Thought I'd share:s
