Well, no, as it happened before.

Because I can't do it, and it seems like everyone else can

You probably need a new version of the Flash Player or something

=P

spirituality
is awesome, as long as you try to maintain a little objectivity (arguably impossible) and a healthy amount of skepticism. Don't buy too much into dogma, whether it be religious or scientific.

agnosticism

MINDBLOWED

I didn't know that there was a previous audio lounge......

also what's with this "highlight" the first words of your post to make it look like a conversation title???

I think the conscious attempt at engaging in objectivity is a remarkable indicator of a persons caliber in itself.

I myself am not spiritual, though I don't find myself incapable of understanding, or inflexible on the matter. I feel blind remarks or interests in something from what seems like an autonomical pull towards some sort of in the pavlovian trained novelty response a bit trite though.

Also <3 Jarrydn. You're a fresh diaper in a see of poop.

Fixed my horrendous grammar/proof read failure.

As for titling posts, its so there is a clear subject to your post, it makes skimming the page easier.

College is overrated. Find something you like doing, then do it so hard you become awesome in the process. If this requires college, go do it. If it requires travelling halfway around the world, go do it. If it requires sitting in a room getting stoned and making music, fucking do it. The only thing that should concern you is how to get better at doing what you like doing. Everything else is paperwork.

I don't think it's at all impossible to maintain a degree objectivity whilst learning about spiritual and metaphysical concepts. The only people who say otherwise are hardline athiests who are too close minded to look beyond Dawkins' ramblings.

Sorry, it was a terribly worded phrase. I think what I meant to say was thattotal objectivity is impossible, but it's important to try and exercise it as much as possible (which is my subjective opinion :P). I also think that it's good practice to employ the usage of grammatical constructs such a E-prime, when getting in discussions over topics which harbor a lot of subjectivity. I keep forgetting the rules of E-prime though (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

Science is great, but I choose to treat it with the same skepticism as spirituality. I am equally fascinated with both, and assemble my world view from equal parts. This is probably why I like psychology...it's almost like the intersection between the two (especially when you start going back to the days of Freud and Jung)

After an intense period of existential angst, followed by years of nihilism, it's relieving to be able to give my life some meaning again, and have conscious control over the re-assembly of my ego.

Concert today

At the local entertainment center thing. Feeling really hyped. Taking part in such events is always fun and just awesome. The feeling when you get on stage is fantastic. Glad that I have the possibility to experience it again today

I am going to sing three songs and dance during two more songs, which will be sung by my troupe mates. Overall we have 23 songs, so the whole thing is gonna last two hours.

WISH ME LUCK, BISHES

Also, didn't post 10 or so pages, I miss this place

Don't take drugs, confront and become comfortable with your unhappyness, some how develop from the experience.

Put money towards something else, like a bouncy castle.

Look forward to your internet band!

Also,If you have any suicidal thoughts, PLEASE, reach out to people! Talk to your friends, parents, they'll be understanding!

Just look forward to your music, or try a totally different genre of music!

Chin-up man! :D :D :D

And you're beating yourself up for mistakes which have already happened in the past and can't be changed, because...?

Get your mind out of the past. That's one thing you can't change I'm afraid.

I'm terrified of the future

With that mentality you should be. Don't feel certain that what happens next won't work out, because if you do that then there's no wonder you're scared of the future. Think positive thoughts about what may happen and be hopeful that everything works out fine rather than scared that everything won't.

and my "therapost"'s only concern is getting her check. All she does is drug me up, which helps, but there are still some days that I would prefer to be dead,

Now that's just silly.

Hey, yo.

I've had thoughts like this, almost driving my self to suicide.
But I learned this: why cry about events that happened or will happen, or want to end you life eairly? There's a lot more better stuff to do than that in life. So I told myself, "what are you doing? Why are you doing this? You don't want to throw away all that talent!". If all else fails, play music. I usually sit at the piano when I'm depressed and play my heart out. JUST PLAY! Play to your heart's content! If you can't play, make music.

LaForge, you have too much talent to throw away

There aren't to many people who do what you do

Always look on the bright side of life

Be optomistic.

If it helps, this kind of internet advice doesn't help me much either if I'm feeling down.

He smokes weed all the time. It's just a matter of finding that perfect level where you're happy enough to enjoy everything, but not too fucked up that you start analyzing your life.

Look at your life, bro (laforge) and think about what you do. You rock some guitar, you probably date around a little bit, and you get to party all the time. Now look back at when you were like 10. What would the ten year LaForge think about where you're at? I bet he'd be pretty fucking stoked that you make music, and are a badass. (from a ten year old's perspective)

You also have to consider, that all these "wants" that you have: you want this/that, or that you want to be some place else. That's what makes you who you are. People are totally defined by their wants. And you can want all you want, just don't be mad about wanting. Keep doing what you do, and know that there's always way bigger pieces of shit in your town than you'll ever amount to. And there's also people that have their life in a little more order than you ever will. And everyone here, in this forum, including yourself, lands somewhere in between.

Also, you have the best excuse for doing what you want, and being all pissy about it "I'm a musician" I use that line all the fucking time.

This is actually one of the most wonderful side effects of making music.

My band teacher said that he can get away with a lot of things because he's a music teacher. It's really funny.

Well, just came home after a concert at the Pep Rally

At our school we have this thing called Breez'
It's like a school rock band or something lol

It was great!
I kinda showed off by using 2 keyboards at the same time :P

lol

Did you swing around and let your hair go wild?

It's been a week and a half

And it already feels like I've been in school for months. Which is not necessarily a bad thing because my week has been going pretty good.

I wanted to share with everyone that I'm going to a Counting Crows concert next Thursday (because lets face it, I'm totally a better person than anyone who doesn't go see counting crows next Thursday.) But I felt sort of TOO douchy by changing the topic so suddenly from an established conversation (which I had nothing to add to) about school to an event that is only awesome and pertaining to me. Let me know how I did:

Man, being in school sucks. I remember that horrible shit. What's the best part about not being in school, you ask? Being able to do whatever the fuck I want! For instance. I can go to a concert because you're in school and I'm not. It has nothing to do with you guys not living in my state where this band is playing. The part that makes me able to go, and you not, is school. And if you don't see Counting Crows at the exact same time I do, you're a piece of shit!

I shall introduce you to the Three-Step Fix for depression I cooked up a while back:
Step 1: Go to the store.
Step 2: Buy some cookes.
Step 3: Eat the cookies.

Happiness, GET!!!!

Unless it sucks. Then you'd stop watching the movie and do something more productive.

Not sure how well that metaphor works out.
