  1. While I don't necessarily wish to say you did the right thing by checking his e-mail, I can't really blame you for jumping at that chance in your situation. It was a **** move by him and if you got a bit Machiavellian on his *** in the process, good on ya. Oh you have *no* idea.
  2. NIN - Only
  3. Antony and the Johnsons - Her Eyes Are Underneath the Ground
  4. This thread has provided some good reads, but it's also got me worked up. I'm reminded of my last relationship and all the utter BS I had to put up with to the point where I find myself seething with repressed anger. Now I'm gonna leave this thread and go pick up a hobby, eat better and start working out.
  5. I don't know it it's too early for you, but Bright Eyes' "First Day of My Life" is a nice song to have a go at.
  6. Coffee makes me weak and makes me tremble. So do women.
  7. Wait what? You're a dog? You know your place or I'll virtually walk you!
  8. Well, due to my slender build and rugged physique I am virtually indestructible, but you could always have a go. Don't hurt your virtual hand trying to internet punch me!
  9. Haha, how womanly of you!
  10. That's because you suck too.
  11. If it's a masquerade I'm coming as John Holmes. I won't even need an outfit! Oh, and girls suck (you know what I mean).
  12. Good thing we're only in March... Ya, in July some Aussie will find a talking dingo and by Christmas the world's first real pink panther will have been born.
  13. Tough chore having a transparent head that is mostly empty. I'd be kinda embarrassed.

    Lol, you just described 90% of the posters on the hfboards, Alan. And I agree with Volo that Sather should have been axed and not Tom Renney. Yes, HF can be very tiresome. I read almost every day, but I can't find too much energy to post anymore.
  15. OMG there's something wrong with my Intertr0n today because I can't see option c) OPEN FIRE.
  16. Happy B-day Pixiebits! (ya, I get to call him Pixiebits. I get to call him anything I want actually, like Pixiejuice, Pixiebombs, Checkpoint's Dedicated Sex Slave, etc. It's this privilige I have that I like to take advantage of. I feel like I'm in Deer Hunter or whatever movie that was, lol.)
  17. The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
  18. Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark (album)

    No, MacInnis started out in Calgary and was already a star when he went to the Blues.
  20. I hate that shtick with girls. They just can't leave you alone because somehow you become the centre of their universe and unless you achieve what they want they feel that you somehow impede their own happiness. Oh well, didn't want to go off on a bitter tangent. Krezack, I know what you feel like. I get scared of my inability to motivate myself to do much of ANYTHING, but I'll start sessions with a psychiatrist about ADHD soon. If I get a diagnosis and help, I suspect that will comfort me a bit and I'd feel that I'd get some control back, because I think once you start feeling like you're no longer in control you get anxious, and as a direct consequence of that, depressed. I do, however, have this vague memory of reading that you already know you have ADHD, so maybe that stuff already is your field of expertise. In any case, I hope you get back on track soon.
  21. You need really big hands and a thin-necked guitar to be Jimi Hendrix, most people cant do it. Yeh, I hear ya.
  22. Hey Allan, those suggestions about learning to read notations are a NO-NO. It's way too complicated at an early stage and will most likely only slow you down. Notation for a beginner is about as healthy as a fork in the toaster; I have played for 13 years and never learned anything more than basic notation. People say I'm pretty good, so DON'T DO IT. Notation won't give you good technique, it won't improve your rhythm and it sure as hell won't be as fun as just sitting down strumming away on one of your favourite songs, singing at the top of your voice. When it's fun, you learn. Otherwise it'll quickly become a chore and you'll lose interest. At least that's my belief. I remember getting a Beatles song book and just learning to play them and sing. In the beginning a technically more complicated song like Norwegian Wood wouldn't be too much fun, since you'd only strum one chord not being able to do the finger-work, but after a while you become confident and start looking at tabs so that you can learn to play the song properly. This will in turn expand your guitar world further and open up so many more possibilities. Hope you're making progress!
