Title: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Appelmoes?? on Wed, 2005-10-26, 20:39:46

stressed.

I have a test week this week (and next week), so this means I should be learning instead of posting on silly forums. ;)

I'm feeling worse than yesterday... :(

Today I had two tests:

Geography and Dutch.

Geography was difficult. (too long, and the questions were stupid)
Dutch was difficult too. (I had to write an essay... OF 650 WORDS!!!)

Mannnnnnnnnnn....

I don't think I get good marks for those tests...

Tomorrow I have physics and religion.

I hate physics...


Yes, I feel stressed... and not very happy.

I feel for you right now, ´cos 20years ago I failed the oral test in Geography for my final exam at high school. 4 out of 15 points, and they felt generous with giving me them 4 at all. I´m glad today that I can tell where Ireland is or the capital of uruguay. But that didn´t count those days, I had to explain the industrial development of Russia in the 20th century...my god.

At that time I used some lessons of geography to learn the 51 states of the USA by heart ... still remember them today. My only success in geographic matters.

Anyway I cross my fingers for your upcoming tests and ... keep the faith !  :)

I could be wrong about this but the last time I checked the USA had only 50 states.  However, the fact that you can list them by heart is an achievment.  I am sorry to say but I would be willing to bet that very few school children in the USA can name the 50 states.  I do not think I can do it.

@TomSawYa

I heard The US had 51 states. One state can be split up in two... (Washington or something... (dunno, I'm no American...)) I learned it 'cos of one populair children's program in The Netherlands called: "Bassie en Adriaan"

*sings* "Bassie en Adriaan, Bassie en Adriaan. Dat zijn de beste vrienden, die je maar kunt vinden."

(Translation for the poor "I-want-to-know-everything-people":
"Bassie and Adriaan, "Bassie and Adriaan. That are the best friends, you'll ever fiend.")

Yeah thanks, that lifts my spirit, the heartache from a 8 month relationship ending suddenly dissapeared. I want to sing and dance with the butterflies, pick flowers, make a little crown of them and put them in my hair. Dance! Dance and Sing! Joy and love to everybody! Sing with me!

Well, that a nice example of sarcasm... But you made you apology, and they're accepted since I don't feel zo bad from the break-up myself most of the time ;)

Tired.  The time is now 23:20 in London.

I got up at 06:00 this morning.
At 06:30 I walked the half-hour walk to work.
I worked from 07:00 to 12:00.
I then walked the half-hour walk home.

At 15:30 I walked to work again.
I worked from 16:00 to 22:00.
Then, I walked home again.

I am jiggered, man!

I feel satisfied. But I know someone will wrinkle their noses at my nightly recordings.

The singer will have to learn a couple of new songs from my guide vocals. I'm NOT a singer.

The keyboardist will have to listen to versions of the songs where his keyboard parts are presented through means of my £300 YAMAHA 2,5mm jack connection only sound module instead of his £2000 Korg Triton Extreme, since at this stage, we only have the keys recorded as midi... He hates that. And to really drive him mad, I choose the lamest sounds I can find!

I feel wicked, really!! ;D ;D

Since PH didn't get the link to work, here's the story:

>:(

Hi!

Today, when I was heading for home after the silly boring meeting I was at the whole day, I couldn't find my car in the parking lot. WHAT THE...???????!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll cut the long story short for you: After half an hour on the phone, trying to find someone who knew where the HELL it was, I learned that it was towed away, and stored somewhere in the city. WHY WHY WHY WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently, some fuckface had parked almost in the middle of the road, so a truck couldn't get past. So he called the proper authorities, and asked that it'd be removed. Of course, in the mean time, the owner of the car appears and drives away from there. So, when the cuntpukers get there, the only car they can find that is by any stretch of the imagination somewhat questionably parked, is mine. By way of a measuring tape, they've gathered I was a bit off the designated spot. And I was parked 50 meters away from the road, so they must have searched high and low to find SOMEONE to tow away while they were there... I wasn't standing in anybody's way, and it has never happened that anyone has been towed away from where I stood, according to the watchman that helped me out.

Of course, someone else had parked in the exact same spot minutes after they removed mine...

To think that someone I don't know parked like a complete dick, and for that I had to go suffer a delay, much distress, and on top of it all pay more than £100 to get my car back!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not through with those sewer creatures, believe me. They have unleashed the FUCKING fury!!!!

It doesn't help that this is the same car that was backed into and crashed, three days old, a month ago. I'm jinxed!!

I got a message for the staff at the parking office in Tromsø:

I hope you all get raped by elephants on amphetamine for christmas! And if you're not, I'm gonna make you feel like you were...

- - - -

Of course, now I'm ok again, and I'm gonna get my money back, too!

What plagues me today is the message that the record company had misunderstood something and haven't even sent the package with our cd in, when I have been watching the mailbox like a madman for two weeks... On the other hand, it was the biggest selling title from loud1 last week, so I'm kinda happy about that... But right now I'm very tired, 'cause I'm just home after a mission... I'm raving... ;D :-[ :D :-\ ;) :'(

You are quite correct, we don't have anything to do with the Evening Standard, however we do print Romford's Recorder Series and the Hampstead and Highgate Series and loads of other crap. (Hope none of my bosses reads this)......Don't care really ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I play that with a couple of friends/colleagues/relatives of mine, 16 in total. It's a game about soccer where you create a team of players from the "eredivisie" (each team, one player, so 11 field players, 7 reserves), and hope that this team scores enough points to win the game at the end of the season. I won it 4 times in the past, and this is the sixt year i play it.  ;D

But now I'm REALLY happy.

I saw John Mitchell in real life for the first time.
He signed my copy of Kino's Picture.
I also played "Fallen Idols" on a piano while he was 1 meter away from me!! (It's the only Arena song I can play (a bit)...)

The gig was great! And I hope I'll see John and the rest on a future gig sometime!

Very tired! Yesterday my idiot neighbourbitch put on the centrifuge from her washingmachine... At 11:30 PM!! That was before she put her (very young) kids to bed, which means a lot of screaming. To bad I have to take in mind my other neighbours that never make noise. If I wouldn't have to do that I would listen my music 10 times louder, wash only in weekends after 11 PM and have a party every weekend!

There must be a way to get some revenge...

Sometimes it's good to close doors just to make sure one can take new steps.  ::)

But there are special doors that never can be closed as I'm realizing for the xth time at present. :-X

By the way, I'm feeling strange and sooo tired. It's four a clock in the morning and I can't sleep. Although my bed is so warm and comfy. And today I go to work for the first time since several months.  :-\

Annoyed - after 3 and a half months of fault free usage my Xbox 360 died yesterday   >:(

That sucks...

And let me guess, the guarantee license lasted 3 months right?
That sort of things happens to me too.


I feel kinda sad right now.
I feel depressed and misunderstood.

I was quite surprised that I rang Microsoft's 360 help line on a Sunday and got straight through. They're arranging to have it collected. It was all sorted in about 5 minutes. I'm impressed so far, but I'll wait and see how long it takes to get it back before I start feeling too happy about it  :D

Sorry to hear you're not feeling so good - don't let them grind you down  ;)

A sense of indignation and disillusionment.  For the record, not caused by anyone on these message boards, nor by anyone close to me in the real world.

There are some total jerks out there on the internet and it's getting me down.  So if you don't see me around for a while, that's why.

Not asking for sympathy, pity, empathy ... just making observations.

Really mixed feeling actually, anger and a bit sad....

I was at work today (I work at a supermarket near my house)
and suddenly (really out of nothing) my boss came to me and said: "HURRY UP!"
I was really like, "?? What" But i just ignored her and continued working...

... then a half an hour later she (yup it's a she) came again and said:
"How is it possible that you're not finished yet? I gave you half an hour to do this and you are still not finished"
I said: "I work as hard as I can"
she: "you are still way too slow, and you have to do better your best and work harder"
me: "i can't go any harder"
she: "come with me"
**into the office**
she: "You should have been finished way earlier with that stuff. you are just not doing your best"
me: "I am doing my best"
she: "You are NOT doing your best and that a fact"
me: "NO, that's not a fact!"
she: "if you do not work according to our demands you have to think about the demands that we have agreed to when you came working here"
me: "i work as hard as i can"
she: "just get all the stuff you have to do left in 25 minutes or else you have a serious problem"

me: "i hope i can do that"
**she walks away**

You know... i can get really angry about these things... I work there for about a year now (at the end of this month) and i never heard any complains... and suddenly they say that i work way too slow....

They probably wanna get me out of there becuase i'm getting paid more than most of the rest (who are all like 15 years old)
and now at the end of this month i will be paid extra because i work there one year... They do not want to see that happen and now they try to get me away... I know how that goes..many others who got older are already fired becuase they where too expensive for them.

Not for you to care but just a look in my day at work and an explanation why I feel sad and angry :P ;)

Hmm that sucks, but indeed. I had the same problem a couple of months back. They try everything to make you think "I'm out of here". They want to fire you but they don't have any reasons to do so, so they try to make you feel uncomfortable. Just hold on. They don't have any reasons to fire you without a good explaination. But there's a chance that as soon as your contract ends it may be over for you. Not that you're not good, but you're indeed to expensive.

I feel a bit strange.
There are two things that happened yesterday. And when two 'big' things happen at the same day I seem to connect them in some way.

Yesterday I bought two albums of Neal Morse, namely One and ?.
I was absolutely happy. Then I had to work at 17 o'clock and I found out that my boss was fired. That such a strange feeling, cause I didn't really like him, but I absolutely DIDN'T dislike him either. Now a new era has begun. One without happiness at work, but maybe one where I get paid for what I work for. (It happened a lot that I had to work an hour longer but didn't get paid for it).

So, I bought two rocking new albums and my boss got fired.

The strange thing is that I happen to connect it and that won't get out of my head: If I didn't bought these albums, would my boss still be threre?

I KNOW it's strange, but I can't help thinking that. Strange huh? ???

It's like passing on the leftside of a lanternpole while your friends pass on the rightside and you think you just entered a parallel universe.

You know it is not true, it can't be true, but you're not absolutely sure and have a bad feeling about it.

But that feeling is gone now, I can listen to my newly obtained music with a good feeling. ;D

I can imagine that it must be a strange feeling, but i also think that you shouldn't relate these things together.

Indeed, the biological clock gets screwed up. But working at night and sleeping at day looks good to me. And it pays well too.


Today I feel very not-good.

Yesterday I felt not so good either, I felt sick and dizzy.
Today I woke up and had to eat something, so I grabbed a slice of bread and thought, "yuck, it's so old, why does everybody take the new and fresh bread. The same as yesterday! The old bread has got to be finished first". So I prepared two sandwiches and ate one and when I almost finished my second I took a good look and saw that it was mouldy. Man, you can't even imagine how dumb I felt, how could I be so stupid?!?! I'VE EATEN MOULDY BREAD!!! I feel so sick and dizzy now and now I know why I felt so sick yesterday.

I want to vomit...

Yeah, I don't care that Holland lost the game yesterday, but it's the way HOW they lost it.
I think Portugal was absolutely not better than Holland, in fact, Holland was playing better, their defences were stronger and their attacks were great with many chances.

And when they (Portugal) 'won' the game, they were very happy about it. Which is disgusting after a game like yesterday, so many cards and bad behaviour! >:(

I had a hayfever attack (don't know how to call it else...) a year ago...pretty bad..And at that time I was on holiday with my school class...And I couldn't even keep my eyes open...later that day I went to a city nearby to get some medical stuff from the pharmacy. Weird enough...I have almost no problems this year...weird.....I didn't think it was possible to get rid of it ???

A little pissed off... I decided to quit on a Forum I loved posting on. Every now and then a few people spoil the fun for me by calling me childish, when I give my opinion about something. Could it be a coincidence that it always happens when I criticize something they did? I always thought you could learn something from a little critique? Some people just don't take critique very well. They realize they did something wrong, get angry about it, and then take it out on the person that pointed it out to them :-\
Ah well... I left so no problemo anymore :)

Just out of curiosity, which forum do you mean?

And yes, I know the feeling, I was once a proud member of a Metal Gear* forum, I even was the first Dutchman around there. People where very nice, but as soon as the forum got more popular a lot of !@#%$ registered and they spoiled the whole thing for me (and a few others).
I'm glad this forum only attracts smart people. :P Except for Appelmoes who is of course very childish as you all already knew.

Ive been out of work for so long now but its days like today that im grateful. Its about 36 degrees outside and virtually impossible to find any air. Even the fan doesnt help!! Anyone stuck in an office i feel sorry for unless you have air conditioning. However i will never say (like many), its TOO hot. Cos we get so much gloomy non entity weather. I guess its time to go on a park and listen to some good music. Anyone else?? :)

I feel for you right now, ´cos 20years ago I failed the oral test in Geography for my final exam at high school. 4 out of 15 points, and they felt generous with giving me them 4 at all. I´m glad today that I can tell where Ireland is or the capital of uruguay. But that didn´t count those days, I had to explain the industrial development of Russia in the 20th century...my god.

At that time I used some lessons of geography to learn the 51 states of the USA by heart ... still remember them today. My only success in geographic matters.

Anyway I cross my fingers for your upcoming tests and ... keep the faith !  :)
Dis You also learn the 12 provences of the Netherlands?

Well, to be honest, I actually just was referring to your last girlfriend. So I meant something like "Watch out, girlfriends can be hazardous to your health". I hope you'll have a nice girl on the other side of the MSNscreen who won't be like the first one. That was basically what I wanted to say. But then Herben came in and I thought "Let's make a little mystery".

So to make it short: I was just joking.
I hope you're alright with that.

I think I would be really pissed actually.

If it has a sign with "Please don't sit on this one" on it, it would be a lot better 'cause they don't have the right to be angry. But now they might be angry at the staff of the store. I know I would.

As if I care! I'm already at home now and I know there are some that are still cycling right now.

Well, sort of. I cut my thumb at work. Not a minor cut i might add. A cut of almost 4 cm. That doesn't sound bad but the knife i was working with is a part of a machine and besides the fact that they are razor sharp, they are a bit dirty too. So, had to go to the doctor who took pleasure in putting his needle in my leg. >:(
You know, the tetanus-kind.  :'(

Silly me.  :-\

That didn't stop me from getting to work today, though.  :-\

Man, I feel confused! This girl, a waitress, was smilling at me, talking to me, saying the right stuff.
But! But... Was she doing her job, or was she being more than friendly?

She's so damn cute!

Damnit! Why did she had to work! If she was just a girl in the pub, I would have known what to do :-\

Can't stop thinking about her though...
Hmm, I wonder when she has to work again
The way she serves the wine...  She spilled it all over her.. Err... Boobs... ;D So I asked her if I had to lick it of her ::) ;D

Hehe, last night she did actually. All the other guys (we had a bagelors-party) were getting drinks from her or another waiter. I got every drink form her, because the guy kept 'forgetting' my wine, so she had to bring it later (with a big smile :-[ )

They should invent something to make it possible to only get access to a forum if you've passed an alcohol-test...
Via USB, it should be possible, it's already possible to access websites with a fingerprint instead of a password, so why not.

Must clarify one thing though, before all of you thinks of me as an alcoholic.  :P

Today was the last working day of a colleague of mine and after work we all went to the canteen to have a drink on him.
Had one beer because  i had to drive and when i came home i took another one.

That "tipsy" was a bit exaggerated.  :P



I was loaded.  :D

And tomorrow a last working day of another colleague of course.
And monday the last working day of yet another colleague.
If you keep drinking because colleagues' last days the next last working day could be yours.

Post by: PH on Mon, 2006-09-11, 21:12:57
I feel very excited!! ;D
I've got an emailaddress and a telephone number of the person who can make it possible to have a Frost*gig in Amersfoort, centre of The Netherlands!! *horns*

All I have to do is contact the man and convince him somehow.
When the man who gave me this address asked me what kind of music they play, I said "rock" (no need to say progressive as he won't know). But as soon as I said "rock" the edges of the man's mouth turned a bit down, he probably thought of hardrock or even metal...
I should have said symphonic rock. ;D

My mum told me that she thinks that she knows the person I now got an address from, so I hope we can make this dream come true! ;)
My dad will help me here, because I have no idea how to do this, besides, in the adult world they don't take kids like me serious.

But that's no surprise after finding out that your favourite band of 2006 is calling it a day...
WHY?!
Yeah, that's really not nice. I wonder why I'm not crying already... :'(

Secondly and probably even more horrible: my bank account is decreasing more and more and today I learned that I have only 20,10 left on my bank account...

There's something wrong with my study-money, so I didn't get it for 4 months. :'(

I'm feeling...not really 'Christmasish'  :-\

Translate: i don't have that feeling yet, despite of the songs i hear on the radio. Great music, but i must confess...it's not there yet. Is it just me?

WANT SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

Same here mate.

And today I ate "kibbeling" which is (I think) a typical Dutch snack. It's a fish with a layer of flour and then fried in a frying pan. With A LOT of garlic sauce!!
It was brilliant. Exactly the precise amount of flavour touching the tongue in a very special way.
Oh... this is not the Now Eating Thread...
Anyway, that was how I felt today.

Oh and the people around me were amazed when I spoke some words in their presence, some even started to cry.

Cheers mate  :)

He was at the GP this morning and he has put on 2 pounds in 6 1/2 weeks and he is very strong , unlike his old man  ;) , and although 1 hip is more mobile than the other it does not seem o be anything to worry about - fingers crossed.

A niece of mine had the same thing but with her arm. At first it wasn't really mobile and it seemed to hurt when moving it. She's two and a half year now and she can actually defeat me with arm wrestling. So i'm sure and hope (;)) that everything will be okay with your son. Asked my wife about this and she says it's pretty common with youngsters. She's an obstetrician. :)

Good to hear everything is gonna be fine! It's not a very bad handicap either (although I'm not sure in what state your child is of course...). I have something wrong with my hip too. Whenever I walk a lot and very long, my (left) shoulder starts to feel like I carried a horse with one hand... It's certainly not nice, 'cause I really like to walk the odd walk now and then. But it isn't that worrying either. Although in my case it's never been noted.
I still keep those fingers (and toes) crossed!

You know Peter, you're absolutely right. But i was a quite bored at home, had nothing on my hands and really needed to do something.
Don't get me wrong, i love to be at home, being with my wife and daughter and if i wasn't ill i probably enjoyed it very much but laying on the couch all day doing nothing but being ill is not really my kind of day off. Like i said: i'll get bored doing that.  :-\

And knowing my boss: he most definitely will not ever say 'thank you'.  :-\

Appelmoes??, yeah you might be right, but I live near a treatment of waste facility, so for me it's much more healthy to stay inside.

I still have mixed feelings...

It's about the A.C.T-concert 16 March... We have to leave early and that's probably after the support-act and 4 or 5 A.C.T songs... What a waste of money... :(
I'd much rather go to the Neal Morse concert, but that's where my conscience comes in... "3 concerts in 2 months? Are you out of your mind? Don't you have a feeling for responsibility?"  :-[ (Arena is a must, so it's either A.C.T or Neal to add to the list, but I've already bought the tickets to A.C.T without realising that we don't get to see the whole concert...

Why?

Easy. Don't want to annoy you with any medical terms that i personally don't really understand either but i've been living in fear these last six months. After a couple of medical examinations they (doctors) discovered that there was something in my throat. It turned out that that 'something' were a couple of cystes which, thankfully, were of the good kind.  :D

Not really through with the hospital though since they discovered that i have a bacteria (h-pylori)  in my stomach. Need some medication, antibiotics, for that which actually is one of the heavy kind and if all goes well the bacteria has left Mad's body within two weeks.  ;D

But overall...the thing that i was afraid of...is not there. (http://www.voicesuk.net/forum/images/smilies/yey.gif)

That's why i feel...Fantastic.  *horns*

I agree with you (more on "genius" than "babe" though... ;))
Porcupine Tree is such an amazing band, and Steven Wilson has much talent! *horns* Every album has something that kicks me in the face in a good way!
But to me Steven Wilson seems a bit arrogant. No doubt, he is amzing! And he has some sort of charisma. And he makes brilliant music. He's one of the finest musicians I know. But as a person I don't really like him that much... He seems a bit of a cold, arrogant man. :-X

Actually i just saw what i typed and i realise it must sound blunt to others. Sorry for that.

My daughter had surgery today. Her tonsils in both throat and nose had to be taken out. Although it's a minor operation it does hurt. And that makes you as a parent quite helpless.
She's asleep now. We gave her lots of cold drinks and icecreams today and it helped a bit.

Just one of those moments you wish you were in pain instead of her.  :-\

Wow, thanks for your support guys. I really appreciate that and so does she.  :)

Thanks to the medication she had a good night sleep though she was awake for a brief moment. She's doing better now and says that it don't hurt as much anymore.
But she is a bit listless though. After her lunch she lay down on the couch and slept for three hours.  :D

And right now she's her usual self. Quite awake and doesn't want to go to sleep.  :-\  :D

*Hugs delivered.  ;D

Well, it's one of the most popular children's songs in France, that's why I took it (the first few lines).

I remember when I was a small kid, my parents had an EP with French children's songs. Alouette was one of them. It has a very catchy melody which reemerged in my mind as soon as I thought about the song.

I think I'll let Bupie take over here.

Good to hear that your daughter is recovering well.

Tomorrow I will leave my country and stay in Germany for two weeks, but my girlfriend stays here...
I saw her yesterday and it hurts so much saying goodbye... :(
I'm not too proud to say that I nearly cried. :'(

It's so stupid because it's just two weeks, nothing special. But she's my everything and I love her so much... I want to be with her forever... ( :-*)


*deep deep deep sigh......* :-[

Ah well, let's just make the most of it in the coming weeks!

I'm sort of upset at the moment.

The time had finally come for my girlfriend to move over to the Netherlands (at least for three months) and again something came up! It's not like she can help it, but I'm starting to get pissed of at fate and stuff for not letting us be together.
The first time she couldn't find a job to get the money, so she had to do a medical study to get some monies. The medical study lasted until July 27th, while the original plan was for her to get here in the first part of July. But ok, she needed money so we'll wait another month.
When she got the monies, she booked a ticket to arrive in the Netherlands on friday 10th (yes, that's this friday). She just needed to do a couple of things, including a short routine visit to the doctor. Some years ago she had something on her nose that had to be removed, and checked every once in while. Today she got the result back and appearantly fate decided that this would be a good time to let the thing on her nose turn into something that has to be removed. And since it's tricky it will need some very difficult technique. :'(

We've been looking forward to this for almost a year :(

I work as a histological analyst at a pathology lab, so I'm going to ask the skin pathologists there if they know if she can be helped here. That way we don't have to wait for another 2 weeks, but can see eachother in a few days.
*crosses fingers*

Nope, never got any complaints about that - but apparently I talk in my sleep... which is absolutely NOT funny (at least not for me, although I guess it is for the one who has the nighttime conversation with me and then tells me things I alledgedly had said that night).

Ooops, I think Nicky will step in again now, this seems to go a bit off topic again...  ;) Therefore: I'm tired (again!) - need more sleep!

So I assume Paco being a male name we are going to have to find a nice female name......Ideas anyone?

We can just interchange the vowels, and then we have Poca-hontas. Paco/Poca has come to haunt us, so the name is on point.

We'll also have to do a bit of cutting ......... and remove half of the brain (whatever little is left) ..........

By the way, the proggie test, which John and I will institute at the next Arena Fan Club Congress, is drinking ten beers during the first evening, without dumbass stuff like falling off your chair, puking, grabbing br* and the like, aint that right, Johnny?

Hi Apple of Doom and all ye other freaks.

I can see that you've had quite a ball whilst Daddy Prog's been away.

Greetings from Stockholm. I and Mrs 007 are here for a few days for family occasions.

S is absolutely fabulous in summertime, but I sure wouldn't wanna have to stick out a winter here, brrrrrrrrrr.

It's a bit early for the DT&SyX concert here, but I'm preparing the ether for a grand concert.

Got hold of a hotel pc - Quality Hotel ****, quite a rare treat for a longhaired proggy, you can call me Mr. 007 now - so I thought I'd send you guys a greeting, thinkin about my prol friends too.

Nicky.

The primal sin has already been committed, Bluey.

With prog, the situation is far more deficient: Mrs 007's two sons, who we are mainly visiting, are hot on hip-hop, arghhhhhhhhhhhh, and Missus aint the one missin prog.

Re the Apple of Doom, I've reduced the risk by moving further away.

The best thingy about bein here is that the weather is perfect. Sunshine, water, beautiful architecture, beer, are you really complainin, 007?

That's a typical MTS, Bluey (Missing Tom Symptom).

If your doctor's name is Tom, it might help a bit going to him, but it won't cure you; in the long haul, you'll need the real McTom.

But I have a girlfriend of course!!


I feel...

I feel...

...my back...
It hurts much... Today I had an introduction-day on my new school and we did a lot of games and sports. A lot of those helped my back-ache instead of me.
But I had fun and I feel less stress than I had yesterday.

PH. Do you take madication for your back? I have suffered  for 22 years and nothing has ever helped....physio, hydrotherapy, exercise or massage so i have to take painkillers. Diclofenac is a miracle drug and totally kills the pain. Its amazing!
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: PH on Mon, 2007-08-27, 21:42:26
No side effects?

I did go to the physio and did excercises, and it helped!

For a while...


When I have heavy things to do (like sports and games on an introduction-day at a new school...) the pain comes back.

I feel like ... I am back to work since yesterday  :'( after three weeks of sleeping, swimming, biking and ... watching the rain fall on Biarritz, a city that many Arena fans must know at least by its name  ;)  Yes, you know, us French people have plenty of vacations  8)

Anyway, glad to be back in the room  :)

Welcome back, Bupie. You've gotten so much of a tan that I couldn't recognise you at first. You can see that a lot of nonsense has been bred while you've been away (not my fault  ;D ).

Hey Nicky. I hope your hangover isnt too bad. Is that your cat in the picture? Its cute!!
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Nicky007 on Thu, 2007-09-13, 15:39:30
No, Bella, in both cases.

The hangover was a joke. I had a couple of glasses of Blue Chimay, but nothing that warranted a hangover.

I'm not that good at the AV-stuff, and rather poor currently, so I have no pics of Pusle I can show on the net. Both the cat pics that I'v copied to the Room have been pics I found on the net, but you'r right: they'r cute. So is my Pusle. In fact all cats are sweet, when it comes down to it.

So, here at last, a pic of little Pusle, as requested - and this time, the real McPusle, the photo taken by Ms 007. Pusle likes Arena too, but she doesn't understand why Daddy's sitting so much in front of the computer, instead of being outside hunting mice and chasing butterflies. Humans!

So, Johnny and Sammi, let's see your woofies.

Same here, just that I didn't stay at home... see, that's why I don't like winter - everybody has a cold or the 'flu and is happy to share it with everybody else.
(My colleague's had it and now is back at work, but still spreading germs and bacteria - feels like I'm going to be next...)  >:(

Oh, and apart from that it's cold, which I absolutely don't like - unless I can go to a Christmas fair for some hot Glühwein.  ;D

In the early 70´s, Johnny Winter ruled, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go in that direction ;D

No, summer rules for Pusle and me. Summer is long days with sunshine and heat on the bare skin, long weekends, holidays, outings - and lots of cold beer btw, great contrast to the heat - and for Pusle it means coming outside at all, sniffing all the exciting smells, grinning at all the dumb dogs around (because Daddy protects me if it goes haywire)  :) :) :)

When you enter Kleve from the direction of Emmerich you go to the right (Klever ring) and you go straight ahead. You come to Landwehr and it's directly on the right.
It's a big white building with blue windowpanes. The sign on the street doesn't say "InsideOut", because there's many companies there. But when you enter the lawn and walk to the entrance there's a sign where it says "InsideOut".

There is no girlfriend atm :-\ We broke up some weeks ago. Over msn and on the phone everything was ok, but when we finally met irl (In real life, Nicky :P) for me, it just didn't work. I wasn't "in love" so to speak.

And if I may find a new girlfriend, then I hope she feels the same, because I really don't want to have children...

Sad about that, Appy. But there must be some nice marsh monstresses around where you live. Always best to meet and stay in first life.

Oh man... Grow old and take a look at what you just said there. :D

But seriously... what are you looking for? What is so important in a relationship?

This is one of the reasons why I think internet relationships are not done...

Give you a tip, Appy:  Don't start the date playing black metal for them. Try instead Ten's Till The End Of Time:


Girl, I love you more than words can say
If I lost you then my heart would break
You are part of every breath I take
Till the end of time

So tonight don't you cry
This heart and soul you have and hold
Till the end of time

There are moments in our nights and days
When the world can seem so far away
Here beside you is where I want to stay
Till the end of time

I love you so
No matter where you go
Till the end of time.


I'm sure even Bluey's heart would melt if you played this for her.

Nicky.

And now my heart is making all sorts of unusual rhythms... :(

I think I'll play a bit Splinter Cell (on my dad's laptop) just now. Not that that's gonna help of course! :D But at least having a bit fun! ;D

What's with my nose? Is it big?
So you're saying that my nose is big?!

Ahem... Well, I went downstairs to ask for his laptop, but then I noticed that the heater was on so I forgot to ask and sat me down to the heater. Ahhh warm... After about half an hour I went upstairs and totally forgot my initial plan...

That's what I like about this forum, where other forums often fail miserably. The members are friendly.
A word that's scarce these days...

Yeah, I'v heard this from several people now.

Strange though, I have only good experiences with chatforums:

I enjoy the Room as much and in the same way as Paco.

Then I'm member of a Danish chatforum for vegetarians, where we also talk nicely with each other, kid, and support each other (which is cheering in this barbarian world).

On UltimateMetal people are straightforward, swear lots more than in the Room, but are always respectful of the other members.

On Amazon a goofhead turns up occasionally, but he disappears fast when nobody engages him.

It would interest me to know what one should be awake to, to avoid getting involved in "bad company".

Try Progarchives forum, Nicky, and start a topic telling that Take Away My Pain is your favorite DT song. You should not be disappointed by the replies  ;D

LOL!!
The ProgArchives forum is full of Prog snobs... When you start a topic on Dream Theater they start bullying you so hard.
And everything from the 60s and 70s is übermusik, while the new prog (especially Neo-Prog and Prog-Metal) is no real prog at all, and you should be ashamed for that.

Man, I really like it here! ;D

That's a good synthesis and an even better conclusion  ;)

I like to read some of the reviews, though (not to mention that I wrote a few myself).

Today I feel quite happy. And in a moment I'm going to listen to Kaipa's latest.

Well, Bluey, then get your boss busy with one of your Bluey-special-mega-lunches, put some hula-hula music on his set and a bimbo scampering about'm, and get the h* outa the joint and drive home and put on some good prog and grab a cool beer. I'l even skål with you then (but then the music's gotta be cool too)  :D

Nicky.
I'd love to... but tonight is the big company Christmas party, so I'm afraid I won't see home soon... also, no music (except Christmas carols maybe)... but there might be a chance for some alcohol later on today!  ;D

Thanks!  :)

It's certainly going to be fun - we're doing a "Spaßwichtel" (try and find a translation for that! ;D) which means that everybody must bring a small present that is as ugly and useless as possible, but securely wrapped so nobody knows what's inside, and then we start exchanging the presents ... and enjoy the horror on the others' faces.  :D

I still have a few days to go before I have to go to school. ;D
But then again, I have to finish some work that I should have done earlier, so I think tomorrow I'm gonna have a busy day, catching up...
I'm feeling OK now though.

Bluepony, I hope you'll get well soon. It's very frustrating to be ill when the party is on. But now when the party is over, I still hope you'll be doing fine. ;D

That's what I'v been telling you all the time, Bluey: You need a man to warm you up, or else you'll be having colds the rest of your life.

You can start with taking Dutch lessons.

And there must be a nice mushy marsh somewhere around Krautville where you can put on your boots and practice waddling about .....  ;D

:D Nice try, Nicky! But I think I better keep my warm socks on and try and stay inside where it's nice and warm instead of going outside in the cold (it's very windy and rainy today, I can't see that helping improve my cold much).

You know Bluey, new opportunities arise. You might be getting tired of selling wheel locks and lunching your boss, but one day you'l simply know that you'v sold your last wheel lock, and then a new adventure starts.

The great thing about the world of prog is - and now I'm really serious - that it's full of discoveries and adventures, so even if everything else seems to have stalemated, you can just spin a great prog CD, and the sun (and the monkey) starts shining again. Aint that true guys ?  :)

Well, I took a new job - also as secretary/personal assistant to the Managing Director, but of a much bigger company than the one I'm currently working for. That means more money (hooray!!)  *horns*, more responsibility (I suppose that's good too)  ;) and working together with one of my friends from school (she's the one who pointed out to me that she needs a new colleague and that I should submit my application) and my dear cousin. Sounds great, doesn't it?  :)

My new contract starts on 1st April, but now that I've found a successor for my current job I may be able to get away and start the new job sooner (I'm hoping for 1st March) - so please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Nope, I don't think I'll actively sell anything - except maybe for merchandise when Arena are in town again...  ;D

Hi guys, just to say hello and that I'm fine.

Made me happy to see that you guys missed me - was it my seriousness or craziness ?   ;D

Dont have a job yet, but gotta focus more in that direction.

Also felt that I had thrown enough stuff into the Room for a while, and that others could come a bit more outa their caves. Happy to see that that's what happened.

Looks like the new Ayreon is exciting.

Also glad that Paco finally acknowledges me as "old", knowing that he thereby means "wise"  :D

Currently I'm listening mainly to Circus Maximus and Seventh Wonder - man, these guys are soooooo good - and when I need a kick in the a** (mine, not Paco's this time), I play Cephalic Carnage and Dillinger Escape Plan. Prob will go see DEP in Malmö on 29/2.

Keep it up guys  *horns*

Nicky.

Donno Bups. I might still be somewhat young at heart. As a contrast to the suave jazz of Toto (although Lukather's solo did grip me), check out this crazy video with DEP:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMEYLlDThZU

Well, first Deenfan eats some hot soup to get some warmth to go out into the cold Norwegian winter and catch the chicken. Then he actually does go out and gets his chicken. Meanwhile Ms Deenfan has made a big juicy pizza, because she loves her Deenfan and knows that it's his fave dish. So the chicken gets to eat pizza too, and everybody's happy  :)

I mean, you should be a writer!

And when you write your book, you'll have to start the very first sentence with "Well, ...", and the very last sentence with "... and everybody's happy."

Success guaranteed!

Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Nicky007 on Wed, 2008-02-20, 07:07:47
Thanks, Paco.

However, I can't see how one can start a book with "Well, ...", because that refers to some uncertainty, which one iac conventionally presents first.

The "and everybody's happy" is a good principle though - which often implies holding back with one's opinions, which is a hard thing for people like you and me, who like to have clear opinions on everything. Therefore you dont need to hold back toward me - just expect to be hit back, as you might have experienced  ;D  - but I (try to learn to) respect that other people differ with me on this matter  :)

And for me, "everybody" means all living beings, so therefore the extra happy ending of the tale  :-*

Well, I like Incubus very much. It's not that I'm listening much to Incubus lately, just because I'm going to see them. But I just dig them. Don't really know why. I've been listening to their music since a friend of mine became addicted to them some 6 years ago or something. When I was at his place the only music I would hear blasting out of his speakers was Incubus. And after some time I was beginning to like them. I actually already went to see a concert of them last year, so it will not be my first time at Pinkpop.

On a sidenote, I play a couple of songs by them with my band, namely Wish You Were Here (no, not the Floyd song ;)) and Make Yourself. Great tunes, so check them out!

On another sidenote, I just got the latest album of the Foo Fighters, "Silence, Echoes, Patience & Grace". Just listened to it a couple times and I think I'm really gonna love it after some more spins! Anybody else got this album?

Then the latest sidenote of today: I'm soooooooo excited that I'm gonna see Metallica at that festival as well!!! *horns*

Okay, the Foo Fighters...

I've began listening to them rather late i guess mostly because i thought that the sound of the Foo's were similar to bands like Kyuss (who i didn't like). By the time i was converted they just released the single 'Learn To Fly'. Oh wait, make that 'because of this single i was converted'.
The fact that Dave transformed himself from drummer to guitarist is very nice. It suits him and in fact if you  hear about his background in Nirvana you would be surprised to say the least.

What i like about the Foo's is their music: Good ol' rock in the way you don't hear much nowadays. But it's Rock with a Smile. Let's call it Smile-Rock.  ;)
Nothing epical about the Foo Fighters. Just what you hear is what you get.  8)

That's why they're good.  :D

Post by: maddox on Fri, 2008-02-22, 23:32:22
By the way, speaking about the Foo's: Anyone heard the album of Probos?
It's a project from Dave Grohl and it has some pretty unusual stuff on it.

More Voivod than the Foo Fighters if you ask me.

I feel exhausted but happy. Today I climbed the Mont Ventoux with my road bike by the south face (Bedoin). A very hard climb, especially for me being completely out of shape those days. I struggled a lot  but didn't give up. For the last 5 kilometers, the road was closed because of snow (could have been open, though) so I had to pass a bareer and finish on a totally desert road to reach the summit completely alone. Almost no wind (which is very rare there), fresh but sunny weather. What a GREAT feeling, guys !!!

I was just missing Nicky to welcome me with a glass of fresh beer  (well, to be honest, I wouldn't have minded if it was Tarja or Simone, even without beer  ;)).

That was one of those days life is worth being lived for ...  :)

Tired, man. Hey, they sent me to a jobseeking course. I dont know what they're conjurin up. Can you guys imagine me in an office selling a wheel lock or bad luck ?

Well, if there's an office with good beer in the fridge, and maybe even prog on the hifi (who cares about blonde secretaries at my age), TTAEDS  ;D

Better don't apply for a job at McGard then, Nicky - there's neither beer in the fridge nor prog on the air - not to speak of blonde secretaries...

Can't imagine you working all day instead of bothering the people on this forum anyway! ;)

LOL yourself, Paco  ;)

Theosophy is actually a serious matter. It traces the development of the religious consciousness in Man from the seeds of animism over the emergence of monotheism to the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ - and, we believe, of all humans.

In my theosophy group, we study the far-ranging and difficult Secret Doctrine of Helena Blavatsky, a great work  *horns*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blavatsky

One of the things that grip me in prog rock is that I find the most exciting contemporary representation of theosophy in the music and lyrics of Arena, Ten, DT, Kamelot, Tool, SyX, and Steve Vai.

Another thing that grips me is that I experience prog as the natural continuation of the so-called classical music that emerged with Bach and somehow stopped with Rachmaninoff (Bach --> Rach). After Rach, music became more and more speculative and lost its emo. E.g. what's called 12-tone music, I see as arithmetic rather than music. OK, then came jazz, but Beatles bound music and religion together again - hence my great admiration of Beatles.

Can't turn my head to either the left or right side. And looking down is not an option either... --> the pain.
I can only look forward or up. It's really terrible...

Thanks for the wishes anyway. As long as I keep looking up, all is gonna be well! ;)

Nicky, I don't wanna be rude or harsh, but I sincerely warn you of the dangers... I'm not exactly sure what this is all about, but please keep in mind that I say this to you not because I'm so good, or know everything or whatever, but I'm kinda worried about it a little bit... :( As christians we can call each other to account, right? And as I said before, I don't really know anything about the subject, but it just doesn't feel good... I hope you'll understand...

I took a look at that wiki site about Blavatsky and it seems that she has something to do with occultism and was a pioneer of New Age and that sort of things...
Also, faith and philosophy can go together, BUT not without setting priorities...
"No religion is higher than truth" as this lady seems to have said. Which is (of course) true, but it depends on what you see as the truth... And where to look for the Truth? Exactly.
1 Corinthians 1 handles about "wisdom of the world" which can be translated as philosophy. Perhaps you can read this chapter for yourself.

With theosophy you go a direction which is mystic-philosphic and sometimes neo-buddhistic of character... Correct me if I'm wrong.
Please, if you want, explain to me what this exactly is (maybe you can open a topic in the Metaphysical Stuff section of the forum.)

I hope I didn't put you off or make you feel uncomfortable or angry or anything. I'm just telling what I feel, ok? :) (even almost on topic)

No need to worry, Paco. I'v been studying theosophy for twenty years, and I know what I'm doing  :)

Do you worry just as much about your Pop ?  ;)

Basically The Secret Doctrine is a massive compendium of religious thought thru the ages, so there's a lot to ruminate upon and discuss with fellow souls.

We have a great theosophical group here. People are friendly, open-minded, and eager to learn. I always enjoy and gain from being there.

Actually the wiki article is an excellent place to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy

If you want more, the internet is full of stuff about theosophy.

You can i.a. find the complete text of The Secret Doctrine, but I would say that it's a book that one should study together with fellows.

A bit like Bible study, but then not restricted to one religious book or thoughts?

I read somewhere that you are a member of the Danish Lutheran Church, do they organize Bible studies as well?
Or are they not open-minded enough. ;)


By the way, my back is doing sooo much better! :)

Yeah, Paco, I fully respect people who seek God with prayer and psalms, period. However, I'm a different type: My mind is restless, always on the move, seeking new experiences and thoughts. I'm a Faustian soul - just like Khan's Ariel. It seems to me that that's what characterises a proggie.

The priests in the established Churches in Denmark havent yet realised that there's a wealth of wisdom to be found in the music of groups like Arena and Kamelot. Church people in general are very conservative.

But I think that there is a growing number of young seeking souls who want something more visceral in their religious quest. So therefore I think that prog and church will slowly approach each other, and just like with prog groups in the States, we'll soon be seeing Arena filling churches with seeking people. How do you like them apples guys ?  :D

You definitely should call her, better yet visit her because (especially when she had a good relationship with her grandmother) she can use all the help she can get.

Stay silent is the worst decision you can make in this case.

Me too. Good idea.

And not to be unrespectful in any way (that is, to your girlfriend's Grandma), but here is an advice:


Take the house she leaves behind and use it as a recreational cabin. Convince the rest of the family that the money she left behind is best left on the account for expenses with regards to maintaining the house-turned-cabin and therein finance the electric bill (since it's wise to have some heat on, lest the house will deteriorate). Go there from time to time and say you're taking care of it.

It worked for me when my wife's Grandma died. I call it the "Cabin-for-free"-plan.

I just called my girlfriend.
It's hard to tell how she feels. I don't think she's very emotional. Of course it didn't come very unexpected since her grandma was diagnosed dementia for I think a year or so.
Which brings me to Deenie's advice. She didn't have her own house anymore. She was living in a nursing home.

Anyway, monday is the funeral. So that's gonna be the first funeral I attend... Strange feeling... (on topic ;D)

OK, Deenie, now that you mention the recreational thingy, it does make sense  :)

Appy's dissatisfied with Paco's spartan Applesauce cover picture, so he's making something more psychedelic, but for that he needs to smoke some stuff that's not entirely legal, so guys: full discretion  8)

Or he goes for a different effect and eats lots of applesauce and goes to the toilet, making pictures of it and painting it green-yellow in photoshop.
He can't give us pictures since he's still in the proces of digesting.

He opened a new account "Pusle"...

Yeah guys, it was a hard birthing process. I had to let Pusle take over for a couple of posts.

So I guess I'm a full-fledged Sicko now. I don't think I'l have probs living up to the designation.

I liked you guys' crazy guesswork. The best was Mad's Cat's Odyssey 2001 - that one I, Ms 007, and Pusle laughed a lot at  *horns*

I actually tried to create an account for Pusle, so she personally could present her views on things. She doesnt say much, but she means a lot with what she says. But Cap's system requires different e-mail addresses for different members (understandably), and I didnt wanna bother with that. I'v promised Pusle to present her views on the issues that are important to her. What's funny is that she's listed as "Latest Member", and that added to the wonderful confusion. Well, Cap, you can remove her now (from the list, not from me).

I find the Room now more entertaining than ever during my service. It's great that Deenie, Gelert, and Matt have returned with all their outrageous madness  ;D

And Paco is a story for himself  ;D

It almost makes me seem normal  :D

Hi Teunis,

You learned me the news. Then I just read Steve's announcement on his website and what he tells make sense but I am still under shock. Funny because I put a FIB T-shirt on this morning without knowing ...

When Jeff died, I took it as a sign that my youth was over and now ... Well, life goes on and we'll have great memories. Do you still plan to go to a Steve's gig this summer ?

Exactly, the memories are stuck in my mind. I've seen them 5x live. And I've got all their albums to play  *horns*. I am not going to a Steve's gig, it's during my holidays.

I actually feel physically sick (beyond the sniffy nose and itchy eyes). I mean having headaches, feeling feverish and having the belly-runs... :(

And that's with medicine...

I feel sorry for you, Appy, and I wish you a rapid recovery.

I feel blessed for having a strong constitution (basically only my eyes have given me problems, ca. -5 on both). I know a lot of people who are struggling with hay fever and other allergies  :'(

On the briht side, I almost never catch a cold or the flu ;)

Today I visited the GP and she gave me a shot, tomorrow I'll go and get some nose-spray she prescribed me. My GP also had a med student over, probably to get a looksy of how it goes and the girl looked remarkebly like Katie Melua:
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/graphics/2006/11/30/play.jpg)

Exact same face and hair, only her eyes were darker (and thus nicer ;)) So, in the end I was happy I went to the GP ;D

In addition to my previous post:

I bet some of the fellow roomies are not really happy right now (the name Bupie springs to mind  ;)) but let me say this: Not only because of the result but tonight i saw a very nice match. Both teams were extremely dangerous and thankfully it was a sportive game too.

Way to go for both teams!  *horns*
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Teunis on Sat, 2008-06-14, 11:10:21
I enjoyed the match too! France deserved the 1-1, but they forgot to score. At the right time van Persie scored 2-0. After the 2-1 (which was off-side IMO), I thought it would be very difficult, but just a minute later Robben made it 3-1. That was the knock-out for France. The 4-1 was a bonus, a marvellous goal from Sneijder.

To stay on topic: I feel great too  ;D ;)(http://heavyharmonies.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/default/bananamac.gif)

Hi guys,

I felt a little bit sad yesterday but also happy for you, my fellow dutch mates. Your team played a great and spectacular game with four superb goals and you definitively have a better coach than we do (Domenech's coaching was terrible, leaving our best forward, Benzema, on the bench  ???). I hope you will go far in the competition.

By the way, today I have recovered my hapiness since my third child, a nice little girl called Louise, is born at 10.15 PM.  :)  Both her mother and herself are fine so I can get some sleep for the first time in 36 hours !

Just out of interest: Why is that such a big deal to you?

I found the match rather entertaining and didn't really care who was going to win...although I think the Turkish team deserved it, especially in the second half.

I always had a weakness for the Czech's. Besides i've been to Czech Republic several times during holidays and i find the people living there very nice.
And not only for the commercial side.  ;)

The match was indeed rather good and quite entertaining, that's for sure but to lead with 2-0 and loose with 2-3 is sad.
I agree with you though that the Turks deserved a drawl or to win the match.

You missed a critical 'e' in there:  Awsome is the opposite of awesome, you know, "Aw!" when you get hit.
Oh, typed too fast, I know the correct spelling. Thanks for correcting, I did it myself too  :D.

We went away for a test drive today but when we got there, the car was already sold!  >:(

And he never called to inform us eventhough he had both our private number and cell phone number.  >:(

On the other hand:

We also had a test drive in a different car on a different place and that turned out to be fine.
We haven't bought the car yet but now we actually know what we want to have.

Of course, in the old days you could take the tram and see Gabriel-era Genesis on every night of their tour, buy a semi-detached house, have a slap-up fish supper on the way home to it and still have change from a farthing.

And you could leave your front door unlocked in them days... ;D

Good, as I got a good night's sleep, and Ms 007 got my pc in shape again.

I'm getting up at 4.30 these workdays. Gotta do some bushwhackin before people park their cars. Good thing is that I'v burnt 5 k and I'm in great shape. Now I can really insult everybody (in the Room) and not be afraid of bein beaten up when I run into'em. (Then you guys would have to cooperate - no danger of that) 8)

couldn't agree more my cat died last year still miss the bugger.

I have a lazy boy in the lounge covered in scratches were he dragged himself up which is a constant reminder.  His brother (mrs iggys cat) is still alive and 18 years old. He is not doing too well but struggling on.

I think it's fairly obvious that I love cats. My little Pusle is an absolute darling, and she's Daddy's cat. She's 16 years old now, never gets out of my flat, so she sleeps most of the time, preferably near Daddy; when he's at the computer, she lies in her princess chair, and when Daddy goes to bed, she's up there few seconds later and lies down on the neighboring pillow, and when Daddy's fingers go petting, the purring is inexhaustable (hey, guys, does this sound slushy ? ).

I'v had two cats that have died, and each time I was devastated.

So, guys, let's raise one to all the wonderful cats in the world  *horns*

* No, I'd better eat dog's meat

* No, I prefer to kill cats by myself

* Yes (but don't tell Deenfan and Nicky)

Pets are a nightmare you have to look after them protect them put up with their foibles but at the end of the day there is no better feeling than the love that they give you.

Relaxed and fresh ... but I also just had a two-hour nap. Hitting Friday afternoon, getting up at 5.15 every workday morning, I'm depleted.

But yes, I'm Okay (styx and stones have not broken my bone(r)s)  ;D

Earache is another one. Got it a few months ago. Lucky for me it went by in less than three days.

Happily, I was called in on short notice because someone else cancelled, so... the tooth is out.

Now, I'm in a weirder kind of pain, but I hope it's a passing thing...

I know what you mean. I had it a few years ago and was passed out for almost two weeks.
That seriously hurt.

Though i can't say what hurt the most. My feeling says tooth aches but it might be otherwise.

So, what does WinterStrain's touring schedule look like ?  Any chances of getting you guys to The Rock in Cop or Kulturbolaget in Malmö ?

Would be nice to have some beers together and hell-a-weenie bit around in Cop.

Relieved. That everything went smoothly today although it was a long day.

Two good friends of ours were blessed today with their fifth (5!) child. Everything is okay with mother and daughter (Merel) and dad is proud too.
And the rest of the family? Well one was still too young to wake her up but their son was fully awake as were their oldest two daughters and needles to say that they were happy too.

Weird. My kids, Doom and Power, lost their last great grandparent today. All potential eight of them are gone now. It's like a whole generation of their family is erased.

It was the grandmother of the Wife of Might who kept at it the longest, even if in a wheelchair for ten years, because of apoplexia.

Greetings from Paris to you guys. Ms and I are staying here three days with my brother and his family. Yesterday we celebrated their 140-year anniversary (3 birthdays & 1 wedding anniversary).

We didnt get much veg-food (didnt expect it either, here in frogland), but we compensated with the drinks (whew, man), which the Frenchies are good at.

No prog either - nope, these are proper middle-aged hardworking citoyens, not wackos (like me). Glenn Miller's the man here  ;D ::)

Bups, why have you guys f.u.'d the keyboards here ?  . is upper case, and q is where a is normally.

Paris is a fantastic town. You can go around for hours and enjoy the intimate alleys, atmospheric building facades, cozy parks, replete museums, the Seine banks, etc etc.

Taking the train back tomorrow morning. I really like the train ride.

Nicky.

We took the train cause I can't fly (even tho I eat bird's food)  :D

But nullos problemos (hope no Spics around here, having nuff problemos with this bl* French keyboard):  I really enjoy long train rides once or twice a year  :)

Well, the PC is working bad i'd say.
It (XP i hope) crashes from time to time (mostly after five minutes) so i had to take it to the PC-repair-man who's looking in it now.
Got the laptop of my father in-law and although it works fine, it's somewhat sloooow and has an awkward small screen.

No unfortunately it wasn't the software.

It was the hardware, i'm afraid.
The videocard had died and the cooler of the CPU also wasn't in a good shape.

Post by: maddox on Sun, 2008-10-12, 00:45:29
I feel confused.  :-\

I don't know why i said that earlier. Not that it's not the truth because it is. In fact me and my wife are having troubles for almost a year now basically since the moment that my wife couldn't work anymore because of her pregnancy troubles (pregnancy-diabetes, troubles with her pelvis). As some of you might remember she had to be admitted to the hospital for almost four weeks.

But i'm a person who likes his privacy. I don't post many photo's (definitely not much of my kids) and try to avoid that many people know where i live etc.
Not because i'm shy (though I don't mingle very well  :-[) it's just that's who i am.
The few close friends i know are real close friends.
And not the type of 'hey, i know you but i haven't seen you in a few months' kind of friends.
Though i must add that on a few fora's (yes, even in the Room  ;)) there are some guys and girls who i consider friends but that's not the issue here.

Fact is that although we we're getting along again with each other, my wife had a nervous breakdown (not thát dramatic but not pleasant nevertheless) mainly because she couldn't combine motherhood with her job added with a stubborn partner and the chaos is complete. That's basically one of the reasons why she changed her job. But where she works right now it isn't going smoothly either.
She literary was thrown in front of the lions (Dutch saying, hope you non-dutchies know what i mean) so after 9 years of practically working alone, she had to work in a team again and not only that, she had the complete responsibility of a whole team + residents ( she's working in a home for the elderly as a geriatric helper ) from time to time, mainly during the evening-shift.

And that stirred up some old issues i'm afraid.  :-\
That's why, in a haze of confusion at 6 am in the morning ( and with the help of some questionable coffee ) I wrote what i wrote.

That's it. A glimpse in the mad-world.
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Deenfan on Sun, 2008-10-12, 09:52:27
It really got to me, that post of yours, maddox. I can think of nothing I dread more, than finding myself in that situation. My wife also had her deal of troubles with her pelvis in the first pregnancy, and her mood was worse for it. People might not understand it, but there are many small things (and a couple of big ones) that just becomes different. Problems arise where there never was any. What used to run smoothly is all of a sudden very complicated.

I was lucky enough to experience the good way of dealing with this, although not perfect - there was a while where I was getting a bit anxious, to be honest. With the second pregnancy, she got the right treatment from the start, which may account for the fact that she's just about rid of the "pelvical" issues. And while I'm at it, there was some sort of "breakdown" or very close to it - but it wasn't her, to put it that way.

It is galactically silly to believe that one pair of unique people's formula will be universally effective, working the same way for two different unique people and their unique relationship. Therefore, I hesitate to be "helpful", outside a couple of rough sketches that seem to work for most people. In other words, I've only got an old cliché on offer:

Talk.

Ideally, it'd be great if both of you had the energy to worry about the other one's best interests. But if one is in a state where this is not so, the other one has got a great burden to carry, and a long and confusing journey ahead. If the one comes around, eventually, the rewards would be worth it all. But who can tell, in advance? I would do my very best, so I'd know I did, when thinking back.

Yeah, Mad, I'm sorry to hear this too. I don't have any advice (for once), except that people like us, like Deenie also implied, stick unyieldingly to their spouse and close friends. That's just the essence of life:  Love - we must take the painful with the joyful !!!

My woman went thru several years of my depression with me, staying unyieldingly at my side, listening to my fears, compulsions and complaints again and again, getting me outta bed in the forenoon, doing nice things for me, etc.

Life is hard at times, and sometimes it even ends in a hard way. We should help each other, within the family, among close friends, in the Room, in principle as much as we can  :)

So good luck, Mad, we're all with you.

Nicky.

I feel...not worthy.  :-\

Sure, i can easily say 'thanks' or something like that but in the end it doesn't really cover the basis if you know what i mean.
When i read all of your replies i suddenly, and trust me: this is rare, felt the urge of wipe a tear from my eye.
I felt like: All this for me?  ???

So...how shall i thank you all? Say it with flowers?
Maybe this will do. --> (http://www.powwows.com/gathering/images/smilies/elefant.gif)

;)

Anyways...Thanks. More than i can say.

It really got to me, that post of yours, maddox. I can think of nothing I dread more, than finding myself in that situation. My wife also had her deal of troubles with her pelvis in the first pregnancy, and her mood was worse for it. People might not understand it, but there are many small things (and a couple of big ones) that just becomes different. Problems arise where there never was any. What used to run smoothly is all of a sudden very complicated.


You're absolutely right about that, Deenie.
It's all about the hormones i guess. If she's unfortunate, that stuff rages through a female-body like crazy.
Don't want to scare non-fathers, because there are even great moments during the pregnancy but if you can't deal with the situation then it can be very stressful.

Oh, and eh...talk we did.  ;)
Again, i'd say since we already had our sessions of it but if you ask me, things are getting a little bit better.
With her mental state of being and our own.

It's been a crazy week, i tell you.

And as to you, Paxi, I think you have to face the fact that you're different from most other kids your age, with your passion for Christianity, philosophy, and prog (and even a touch of metal), and that you're therefore gonna have to travel quite alone thru life for long periods. If you stick to your ideals - which I'm sure you will - one fine day you'll meet a woman who's somewhat the same as you, and you'll be able to have a relationship that goes much deeper.

Happened to me when I was 45, after some 30 years of a loooot of loneliness  :)

The best comes to those who are willing to wait (i.e. active waiting)  ;)

I'm not saying that one can't deepen one's relationship while in it. Of course one can !  That's what Mad and his wife are doing.

I just got 2 policemen at my door asking me some random questions about my neighbour. When I asked them 'why' they wouldn't tell me...Turns out she is dead! :o That's basically all I know at this point and I feel rather strange about it. Not that I knew her or something (basically the only conversations we ever had weren't going any further than 'hi, how are you?'), but still.

It's odd. Don't really know what to say to be honest.

No, I don't know how she died or what happened. I do know they found her in her house. I think she was somewhere in between 45 - 55 years old. When the policemen asked when I saw her last I realised that I haven't seen her since I came back from holidays, almost 2 months ago.

Needless to say I didn't get much sleep last night, I just felt so strange about the whole thing. It's a scary thought that I've been living 'next' to a dead person for who knows how long.... And then there's this part of me that keeps thinking: "Why didn't I realise that I had not seen her lately? If I (or anyone else that lives next to her) would have realised sooner, would she still be alive right now?"

Why are we so busy living our own lives without caring about someone else's, even if it's someone we don't really know?

Weird feeling, it must be.

The other question is, how can - or indeed why - someone go through life without making any sort of impact, if not leaving a legacy as such.

Maybe it's not the rest of us there is something wrong with? I'm just asking.

I don't know. It always looked as if she was living in her own little world. It happened quite often that when I said 'hello' or something like that she would not react at all. At other times she whispered a shallow 'hi' but she just didn't seem to be a person with whom you could have a normal conversation.

A good question indeed. I think it has to do with individualism.
Everyone of us is infected by individualism, and we're all a bit egocentric.

Let this be a lesson (to all of us, ofcourse!) to think about the others too.
Especially the older men and women.

I can speak for myself. I haven't seen my grandparents (from my mother's side) for more than two years now (for numerous reasons, but still). Often I think by myself "Actually I should go visit them sometime.".
Now, when "actually I should..." comes into play, all alarm bells should ring, because it will often be followed by "...but...".
This "human alarm bell function" is something we all have. And it's not there just for fun, right?

I mean, when somebody can die without being missed, we always assume there is something wrong with us, as in the ignorant people that surrounded said someone and didn't care. But what about this hugely ignored person? What if it's this person's fault? For instance, she didn't always even reply when you said hello. What can you expect?

And, are there any people on this planet that you care for and pay attention to, outside of your immediate family? If yes, there is nothing wrong with you. And you would be missed if you died. All these people would notice after a short while. Now, if we assume that most of us, if not all*, do care about and give our attention to some people, most of us can not be to blame, either. Maybe we are left with the ones (*) who do not care for anybody.

What if any one of these was to die?

Now, you see my point.

Yes, I totally see your point now and I think you're right. I was so put off by this experience yesterday and today that I almost blamed myself. Even though, deep inside, I knew that It's not really my fault that she is/was such a loner.

Actually I feel a bit better now, although I still find it creepy that I lived next to a dead woman for a while.

I don't want to ruin anyone's perspective here but what makes us decide that the person that is a loner is different from the rest of the mere mortal?

There may be a valid reason why she decided to live in anonymity. Accidents, bad experiences with other people, abuse, whatever.
Some people are happy in the solid comfort they're in.
Sure, i agree that it's easier to miss these kind of people because when you aren't such person, there's a whole network of people/friends that surrounds you but in the end a 'loner' is just as human as the rest.  :-\

Still it is a bad (*) experience for you, Tom.

I see what you mean, but I never said that because she is a loner she's any different from 'the rest of us'. But you see, I was kind of blaming myself and now, after reading and understanding Deenfan's post I see that was the wrong way of looking at it.

And for sure, she must have had her own reasons for choosing anonimity,  but still I didn't treat her any different, I always tried to be nice and friendly to her.

Tom, it was mean of me to write my earlier post, but I hope you know me well enough now to see that I also have my compassionate side. And I can understand that you're struggling to come to terms with the death of your neighbor. Hope you got some strength from the fine posts of other roomies here  :)

You're welcome. It might just be what I do best. I've always heard people bring up the one side of this, which might be valid and thought-provoking enough, but I never saw anyone shed light on the other side. Which is why I have to.

Absolutely agree on the last point, but let me start at the top: We're all different, with the odd exception... ;) Some are loners, and some are loners AND the life and the death of the party. All are unique, and can go through different moods throughout a normal week, let alone a year or a life, so the assumption that the rest of us are the same is more wrong that the assumption that the loner is different. A bit of philosophical mindtrickery, there.

Next, if she decided to live in anonymity, who are we to intrude? It is most sad and regrettable if abuse or similar is the reason, and maybe some good experiences with people would help a lot. But we can not know, without getting close, and we can't force ourselves upon such a person - we'd make it a lot worse. If you're on to something, it'll be the last thing she needed. An uncomplicated hello and a nod/smile, offhand remark... that's how far we can go. The ball is in her court. You've got to respect the choice to be alone, too. Maybe she IS different, in that she needs solitude? We always feel bad for them, but don't we just base those feelings on the assumption they would like to live a life more like ours?

Granted, there are people out there who have all they need, and wouldn't for a second think about smiling at any one outside their circles, but I can't believe they make up a majority.

Sad, just read the following (Wikipedia, my boldfaces):  On July 2, 2008, Natasha Shneider (* May 22, 1956) passed away following a battle with cancer. The news broke with a message posted on the MySpace page of the band Sweethead, of which Natasha's former band-mate Troy Van Leeuwen is a member and was a close personal friend:

"Natasha Schneider, musician extraordinaire, former actress, singer of the ground-breaking band Eleven, and one-time Queens Of The Stone Age keyboard player, died today at 11:11am of cancer. She was a brilliant, beautiful, and ballsy woman who will be missed deeply by all those who knew her. Send your loving thoughts her way in the universe." —Sweethead MySpace (2008)

The following message later replaced the main page at qotsa.com:

"On July 2nd, at 11:11 AM, Natasha Shneider passed away. She ended her time in this Life with the style and poetry that she lived all the days previous, crossing over while held in the arms of her closest and dearest. No words can encapsulate the unwaivering strength she provided, adversities she overcome, the talents she possessed & nurtured, the sharpness of her wit nor the beautiful complexity of her intellect. We are so thankful for her influence & the gift of her friendship.

A celebration of Natasha Shneider will be held in Hollywood at the Henry Fonda Theatre on Saturday, Aug 16th. Further details will be released shortly. All proceeds of the benefit and donations made will go to the relieve the burden of Natasha's fight against cancer. To donate, go to NatashaShneider.org

Now is all we have. May you all make the most of it." —Josh Homme (2008)


Natasha was a wonderful singer  :'(

I feel like I actually need to do some homework...

Every friday I work for a school and I have to "design", "create", "make" a test about breathing.
But I find it very difficult to come up with questions that aren't too difficult... :-\

Thanks to all of you for your sympathy, really appreciate it  *horns*. She was only two and a half years old. She's had medicines for about a year to keep it under control, but the last two weeks it got worse. On Wednesday she had 5 attacks, yesterday again! When she just had recovered from an attack, she got a new one. Terrible to see. That's no life for her and for us. We contacted the vet and she told the best we could do was to prevend further hurting. But it went so fast the last two days, still can't believe it. It sucks! Thanks again.

That's a very special type of restaurant (when they came up, the "restaurant" used to be in the livinig room of the host, or in a barn/shed etc.). They're usually run by people who make their own wine (and, obviously, don't sell it to one of the wine-maker cooperatives); they offer wine and a certain dish called "Schlachtplatte" ("slaughter plate/butcher's plate", typically contains blood sausage, liver sausage and assorted meats, served on sauerkraut). Very German! ;)

Sure, Nicky  ;D.

Actually, we consider trading La Marseillaise for If You Want Blood, You've Got It as the national anthem but the former is already by far the bloodiest national anthem in the world so I don't think the change would be really noticeable (but it would rock the stadiums big time *horns*).

It's got nothing to do with being christian or not. All people (christians, muslims, atheists, etc.) know that this is wrong. The problem is that the human race is sick. Or to speak with a christian tongue: the sin is in all of us. The question remains: will you fight it? Some clearly not. We need a Healer.

Good !  My good friend Claus lent me one of his 20 guitars, a Gibson Epiphone electric guitar, and his little Laney combined amp and loudspeaker. The system has a surprisingly good sound, even at low volumes (for my neighbors' sake), and the guitar plays fast. So I'm practising runs and broken chords. Soon I'l be able to beat you all at Guitar Hero or whatever the shit is called  ;D

Would be fun to get together some musicians at my level and age and try out some different stuff. I realise that I couldnt emulate Petrucci, but lyricswise I might be able to dish up somethin interesting. I'd gladly leave the singing to someone else, but here in Scandinavia it's hard to find a singer who does the accent and intonation thingy to my satisfaction, so maybe I'd have to start out wailing (but wont put any soundclips out on the Net)  :D

Tom, what I meant was going across the fretboard. All the Petruccis and Loomises do that nowadays, often at an insane tempo.

Yesterday was wasted away, and I've got a feeling that today is gonna end up the same way.

You got a lot of great bands and artists waitin for ya:  Ten, Gary Hughes, Nevermore, Stride, Chris Cornell, Eleven, Stone Temple Pilots, Queensrÿche, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cat Stevens, Dillinger, Vanden Plas, Seventh Wonder, Scar Symmetry.

Iac don't feel bad about it, Paxi. Alcoholic beverages have their place in life. First, the taste can/should be enjoyable. Second, alcohol takes the pangs of life and makes us relax. Third, these two effects can strengthen the feeling of togetherness.

I'm of course talking about alcoholic intake in moderation. That shouldnt be an issue for us active roomies. It doesnt seem to me that anyone here overdoes it.

Otoh I consider that tobacco, meat, hash, opium, cocaine and heroine are not advantageous in any way to present-day wo/man. One can be dependent on them, and in general one shouldnt try to stop using them abruptly, but I think it's useful to strive towards abandoning them completely. Regular intake of these substances undermines one's health, causes exploitation of humans, and in the case of meat, also exploitation of animals and disturbing climate changes.

Yes, it's a holiday. I'm looking forward to it immensely. I think one should see something of the world while he's still young and it's quite easy to get away from everything for a while. So far I've seen almost every country in Europe and been to North America so I think I'm doing quite well in that aspect.

Just to make it clear, I'm not saying one cannot see something of the world while he's older! I just think it's better when you don't have a busy job, wife, kids, and all that distracting stuff! :D

Have to agree with John. It was a great weekend. Lots of fun and the Peel is a really good venue. Very intimate but that is often better than a huge hall.

Better change the topic, or else you guys just might get the impression that I'm long-winded (just found out that long-winded is 長たらしい in Japanese)  ;D

I was two days at my Mom's farmhouse in Småland (southern Sweden) - just me and Mommy  :)

Nice, gave us an opportunity to talk stuff thru. We laughed a lot too, as my Mom's got an amazing sense of the absurd. As I lack that, I really laugh at her stuff  :D

Well, she goes to bed early, usually 8-9 p.m. As I don't (except when I have to get up at f* o'clock for work), I'd taken a load of cd's along for deeep listening.

Great, just sitting at the fireplace with a good 5,9% Swedish Spendrup Gold beer, listening to wonderful music. Hey, guys, is this heaven or what ?  :)

Some of the stuff I listened to was:


Genesis:  Wind And Wuthering

What a wonderful album  *horns*

It still gets under my skin - even more so now. In my old age, Genesis is catching up with Floyd, and guys, I think you know that's saying a looot !  Hope it's not a sign of senility  :-X

Now, if anyone says anything detractive about W&W, I'l send the extermination squad - or whatever is left of it  :D


Of course, I listened to a lot of Opeth  *horns*


Demians:  Building An Empire

Tom, I have to admit that this one was a slow starter for me. It really wins by several listens. Yup:  *horns*


Aghora:  Self-titled

Oh, man, this is superb  *horns*

Just as great as Formless !

These two albums - each one took several years to make - are formidable; such creativity, such perfection  8)

Måd, you really have to get over your progmisogyny (another one for you, Bupsie)  ;D

And Tom, this is also sumthin for you. You'l sure be surprised by those guitars - man !   ;)

You should be able to give your approval if you want to add anyone.
It's very likely you did with this fellow, haven't you?

Try asking his name. That might help.  ;)

On topic:

Well eh let's list up a few things: Sore throat, headache (slightly but nonetheless), locked up nose....

Anyone want to guess?

Sore thoat cause of singing along at high volume, headache cause of too much growl (and taking Teunis' and Bupsie's suffering upon you), and locked up nose cause you forgot about your beer and it became stale and started smelling bad  ;D

Yeah, I got a pop-up like thingy (as usual when someone adds you) with "blah blah wants to add you, etc...". So I looked at the address and thought "Who could that be? It might be a friend, family, someone from school, someone from the forum... Only one way to find out!" so I accepted and as soon as he got online I asked him where I should know him from. He answered that he just randomly added people to his list. ???
He sounded like a pretty desperate little boy. After insulting him and his mother ( ;) just kidding) I blocked him and I probably won't hear of him again

Yeah I agree. If you would only listen to metal with weird time signatures for example, I don't think there's going to be any breathing space in your songs and if you would only listen to mellow music I think your audience would fall asleep...So I think it's best to combine every aspect of your musical taste in order to create your own signature-sound.

Weird, i'm at 3.311 per day.  :-\

It's all about the quality of the posts.

Well you're right actually. The distance between Vianen and Amersfoort is just give or take just 35 km.

Yes, I don't have to go out today - that's certainly a nice thought :)  Mind you, it's not as cold here in Shropshire UK as it has been over the last few days, although there's been a decent snowfall overnight.  Perhaps it's childhood associations, but the snow always lifts my spirits.  The dogs love it too...they've been going mental in the garden this morning, chasing each other and rolling in it! 8)

Yes, he just had 38.9.  ::)
Which is a bit better. But still we have to keep a good eye on him.
Ms. Mad is taking him to the doctor tomorrow. Not only for him. For herself too.

That's the downside of winter. A lot of people easily get sick.

Hope you and Mrs Mad and the kiddie Mads get better soon it is miserable being sick!

And I hope you get better soon Tom.

On the upside Mrs Iggy has picked out 2 new cats which will be coming home on Friday.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The problem now is names. Mrs Iggy is not very keen on my names  :o

Although I have to admit she may have a point.

They are little girl cats and she doesn't want me to call mine Stewy (after family guy).

She is not that keen on Fug either (after Fugazi).

I think I am a bit of a disappointment  ::).

She asked for musical references and doesn't like The art of navifating by the stars either as a name.

Ho hum.

feel free to suggest some names.

I've been through that. It seems really unfair that bad bosses seem to move from one company to another despite the fact they were crap at their last job and people who actually achieve something can fall by the way side.

Send him my best Bups and I hope he gets a better job next time.

By the way in case any of you are interested Mrs I'scat is definitely (maybe) going tobe called Asia. I am currently allowed  ::) tp call mine Ayreon or Shadow (gallery  ;D).

Although Elea and Seren(ity) are in with a shout. So who ever suggested that is a smart ar*e.

I thought I was finally getting better yesterday, so I thought that I was going to be able to have rehearsals with my band this afternoon...But I was wrong. I had to pull out halfway, after 2 hours... :-\

So now I'm stuck here at home, listening to music, reading my book. Not that I don't like that, but not on a Saturday-evening, when I want to be with my friends...but can't, because of this nasty frustrating flu.

My advice is to sit at home and listen to music.

I found the only way to shake it off was to stay inside and keep warm and not to fall for the old 'I think I am better now'. It seems to take at leasst a week to shake the worst of it of and anothe week or 2 to feel completely back to normal.

Get well.

I do not believe there is anything serious - just drink more fluids and go to the loo more. But , they have to check even if it means a a fine telescope being stuck somewhere a telescope should never be stuck  ;)

Feline Unit 1 (the little silver one) is called Asia and is supposed to be Mrs I's cat
Feline Unit 2 is still undecided she was called Maggie by her previous owner but I'm not sure.

Are you entirely sure that spotted beastie is a kitten and not a cub? :o  I suppose the real test is when you start to get dismembered body parts brought home for your perusal.  If they look to come from mice and sparrows, then it's kitten.  But if there's a hint of 'small child' about them... ;)

Hey, I just got my "new" computer this afternoon, and it works real well, Helge got everything installed nicely.

So that's why I'm here again doin my nightstalkin jive, guys.

You see vampires, werewolves, banshees, ghouls, bogeys, jinnas, bête noires (Bupsie), or ouphes (that's the best one, it's an elf or goblin, just found it in my Roget's Thesaurus) - then don't worry, it's just me a-stalkin  :D

But, but, but (and a butt for Paxi), I'm on an Anathema adventure that'l last a while yet, so no digressions currently.

I feel good!

Today I had to teach three classes. One class (a VMBO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMBO) 2 class) I had to teach about the female reproductive organs... I can tell you, I was pretty nervous... :P
But it went very well!
I even had to teach a VMBO 3 class. Which went OK too. It was about determining different fish. :) Easy.
And the third class was a Havo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoger_algemeen_voortgezet_onderwijs)/Vwo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voorbereidend_wetenschappelijk_onderwijs) 1 combination class.
About "the eye". A piece of cake as well.

Man, it feels great when it goes like this. :)

For the Dutchies: That trafic jam you've (probably) heard about this afternoon on the A2 near Beesd (translation: Beast  ;D)?

That was my doing.  ;)
We had car troubles so i had to pull over to the side of the road. While waiting on the ANWB a dude (very nice fellow who helped me perfectly) from the rijkswaterstaat came to help me and even called in to close one side of the free way.  :D

The car is fixed now though our plan to drive to Den Bosch fell in the water so to say.  :(

Sad, Måd  :(

Hope you can give the kids an extra nice experience next weekend  :)


We had a very enjoyable meeting in the Hegel-group today. We meet once a month currently. The group is reduced to three participants now, but we three are very passionate about it.

I'm aware that only few people can see the sense in such a pursuit. But if I tell you that nothing has sharpened my intellect as much as my Hegel-studies, neither maths nor quantum mechanics at the Uni nor discussing religion with Paxi and Keith, then it may give you a notion of the greatness of this philosopher  *horns*

I don't feel good...
I have a lot of pain in my back. To be honest I have this since the beginning of summer 2007, but the last few months it's getting worse... :(
It would be wise to pay a visit to the doctor...
Some time ago I went through this before... I had to go to a physiotherapist each week for more than a month, and then I did exercises. It went well for a couple of months, but after that I forgot to do the excersises... Sometime later it started again...
Anyone have ideas how to keep doing these bloody exercises? They take an hour or so everyday... Which means that in a week I have seven hours less time!! :'(

An hour a day is rather much, Paxi. Maybe if you would restrict it to twenty minutes a day, you'd feel more motivated, and then you would persevere with your daily exercises. Maybe even these twenty minutes a day would do the trick.

Further you could go out on the net and find other people with similar problems. There might be some tricks that work for you.

Wishing you the best  :)

Sad, and somewhat sick myself, as Pusle is very sick. She got a cyst on her side some three months ago. It stopped growing, but then started pussing instead. Even so, Pusle still was quite active, and she slept on the cushion next to me in bed at night. Then she ate less and less, and the last five days she hasnt eaten anything. I take the water bowl to her every hour or so and she drinks a bit. But I guess I have to accept now that it's soon over  :'(

I anyway plan to go to the Opeth concert in Malmö tonight, as there's not much else I can do for Pusle, and Claus and I have been looking real forward to it.

Man, it's so hard  :(

Look at that little sweetheart to the left  :)

You have my sympathy, I've been there far too often. :'(

A week ago we were at the vet with one of our cats who hadn't eaten for a week and feared the worst.  Fortunately it was nothing serious, just a nasal infection needing an injection and a course of tablets.  The little man was stuffing his face at the food dish within a couple of hours and both of us were crying tears of relief as we watched. :-[

Off again tomorrow morning with one of the dogs who seems to be having epileptic fits - pretty upsetting to watch.  I think I'm getting too old for this sort of heartache :(

I had to borrow some extra kleenex from my neighbor  :'( :'(

This afternoon I put her lying on her princess-cushion into the transport box and delivered her to our nice local vet  :'( :'( :'(

Yeah, Bella, those tumors are really vile. Both of my cats were finished off by tumors, Pusle with one on the back left side, Tjavs with one on her leg  :'(

Yes Nicky, i couldnt have a pet for a long while but now i feel ready for a new one. I dont have kids but my cat was my baby and the grief was often unbearable. Tine is a graet healer though and at least you have the memories. No one can take those from you.

Bluey, id love a holiday but funds just wont stretch that far unless i go camping like last year but no longer having my camping man i guess i cant even do that!! :(
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Nicky007 on Sun, 2009-02-22, 12:17:55
Yeah Bella, camping alone aint fun. I tried that twice, some 20 years ago, with my motorbike, first time in France, second in Norway. I had a lot of great experiences, drove thru some terrific landscapes, and visited some marvellous chateaux along the Loire, but the evenings and mornings were very lonely. After the second time, I decided never again to go on holidays alone.

It's of course nicest with a lover, but a good friend can do too.

You're right about the memories. All considered, I don't regret a bit that I had my two lovely cats. I just don't know whether I wanna go thru the loss once more  :-\

Well, actually I'm a veggie because I don't like meat - and in the meantime my body has forgotten how to deal with it anyway, so it doesn't do me any good when I eat some... but of course I do love animals (well, as long as they don't have more than, let's say, 6 legs) and especially my pets!

I like 2-legged pets best (but not the type that cackle a lot)  :D

Cats, dogs, lambs, goat kids, horses, calves, and monkeys are real sweet too.

Are you off fish and fowl too, Bluey ?

Which pets do you have ?

Two birds (budgies) - one as crazy as the other, but very funny. I've always had budgies since my first birthday, but obviously not the same ones. The ones we have at the moment are called "Paco" (pure coincidence!!) and "Speedy" (as in "Speedy Gonzalez" because he's so quick that he escaped at the zoo shop when we bought him). They're number 12 and 13 I think...

Post by: Nicky007 on Mon, 2009-02-23, 22:37:56
Happy and relieved to be back in the Room  :)

This afternoon I departed for good from the Neverboard, Nevermore's official site at Ultimatemetal.com.

God, was this an unpleasant experience !!!

The board has existed for eight years now, and it's become a very closed brotherhood (including a few very special female types). They are extremely suspicious about all newcomers and treat them harshly. They discuss all sorts of fanciful things, often in a rather gothic style, the fave subject being food, and only rarely touch upon Nevermore and related groups.

Nevermore being my fave group, I felt I was entitled to being there, and I tried to contribute to and start some music threads, but man, was I thwarted each time, STFU and You fucking prick being some of the vocabulary flung at me. They claimed that they had been thru all the stuff I proposed, but they sure werent helpful in guiding me to pertinent threads. In the end, in response to a rather neutral post I had written, one of the members, Calamitas something with a grim mask icon, quoted three of my words and simply wrote "Leave.", and this was seconded by another member. I was shaken to my bones.

I had never imagined that a group like Nevermore could attract such grim types, altho I'm aware that they move into tricky ground.

The image that arose in my mind was that of Tom Cruise's character being met with those weird events in the country mansion in Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

After regaining my cool and some rumination, I wrote back:

"Yeah, right.

This place is more Skull'n'Bones and burgers than Nevermore and music. Seems like the guys don't care much for it either.

Maybe you guys should consider some changes. I know that there are some serious people around here too.

Meanwhile I'm off to look up my fave group other places - and I won't read your replies, so don't bother ....."


This experience makes me cherish the Room much more.

I think that we have a friendly atmosphere here, we talk about interesting matters in an open and respectful way, and we treat newcomers well. Isnt that so ?

And we should make sure to keep it that way.

So Iggy, I had an experience similar to yours.

Guys, I remember that about a year ago some of you mentioned unpleasant experiences when visiting some music forums. Would be interesting to hear about'm  ;)

Nicky.

I guess I was lucky to happen upon the Room as my first music board.  I've been on a few other forums for other interests, and while I haven't personally been attacked as directly as you were, Nicky, they've all had some degree of pointless insults and intentional disruptiveness.   That's one reason I don't frequent more forums -- that sort of thing tends to raise my blood pressure.  I only signed up for this one after lurking for awhile and being impressed with the atmosphere.

There are many forums (music and otherwise) that, to me, are spoilt by a high percentage of beligerent knuckle draggers - although I'm sure they're just as happy in their comfort zone as I am elsewhere.  It's just a matter of finding a place full of what you consider to be 'like-minded souls' and The Shattered Room seems to work for me. 8)

I suspect this place just isn't big enought to make it worth trolling...

You're probably right about that, Paxi. Most of them seemed very young, just outa school, many of them plying lousy jobs, and others in the Army. Rather surprised about that, cause altho Nevermore are very critical about present civilisation, Warrel Dane, the singer, is 47 y/o and a very mature person (also weird, but I'm probably a bit like that too  ;D ), and he has a to me clear philosophical perspective to all his lyrics. But I guess most of the guys on the Neverboard miss that perspective.

In all fairness I have to add that there were some decent and intelligent people there too, as I also mentioned in my valedictory post. They were of course not amongst those who accosted me, or only slightly. What they think about this whole Skull'n'Bones thingy I never found out, but maybe they'l feel more uncomfortable about it after my visit.

Yes, this happened to me too on some mountain biking forums. And I noticed it often as a guest on many others, musical or not.

You have to deal with it but I understand how disturbing it can be to be publicly insulted without serious reason, especially by people you thought you would share the same passion with ...

I think you chose the right option. And I agree too that it's better for you not to go and read the possible answers to your last post if you don't want to get hurt more.

Maybe it will also help you to realize that mentioning a fellow forum's member real name in a post without asking his approval before -like you did with mine with no bad intention at all, I know  ;)- can become pretty annoying when things get bad  :(

Today I'm happy/excited because tonight I'm gonna watch the Lyon-Barcelona soccer game at home with my two kids (each under on arm, where the younger will probably fall asleep before halftime) and admire my favorite player in one of his last great games. I'm not speaking of Messi but Juninho, of course  8)

Yeah, Bups, this latest episode has made me think a lot about it. Before I wrote my valedictory post on the Neverboard, I dwelled long on the possibility that one of the members could be so dark in his mind as to seek me up and do some unpleasant stuff. Really, I did !  But I think that Paxi is right in that these guys have got it in their mouths but in reality they're wimps.

But I promise nevermore to mention your true name in public. Only if Bluey gets me drunk beyond my wits  ;D

Don't you then think that you should change it to something like George (Clooney), or Tom (Cruise), depending on your (and Bluey's) height  ;D

You wouldnt notice the difference, she's already blue. In fact there would then be twice as much JD&C for me  ;D

Feeling full of the joys of spring.  Just had a walk down to the local shop to pick up a few bits, the sun was out and the smell of growing things is starting to make it's presence felt. :)

Also...

Feeling happy because this morning I found the 'Bowie at the Beeb' 3CD set pushed to the back of the CD rack and I didn't even know I had it.  Bonus! ;D ;D ;D

Well, we usually have a great canteen here - they even offer veggy dishes - but like I said, this week it's closed, so... tough luck if you forget to bring something from home (like me for example).

On the other hand, if you keep talking about Celine Dion, I'll probably be rather sick than hungry... ;)

I concur even though I was the non-Dream Theater lover.  Even my non-proggie friends around here wouldn't admit to liking Michael Jackson.   :P   It's possible some of them go to cheap motels to play Thriller while telling the wife they're working late, but if that's the case, I'd rather not know about it.

Roomies, give Matt a run  ;)

Paxi, particularly you'l like Matt's music, it's right up your sleeve  :)


I'm feeling sad and perturbed, cause my mother-in-law is in hospital and has become very weak. She was hospitalised on Thursday for what seemed to be a blood poisoning. The doctors have tried different antibiotica on her, but nothing has worked, and she has just become weaker  :(

So I'm just having a cup'o'coffee, and then I'l be on my way. Ms 007 and her brother spent this night at the hospital, and we'l be a lot of family around Grandma.

So it'l probably last a while before I post again.

Fairly content.  My pituitarily-enhanced boys took care of business.  It may be just as well that Steve didn't watch the game though as the camera coverage of the short-skirted cheerleaders was minimal at best.

I'm feeling sad and perturbed, cause my mother-in-law is in hospital and has become very weak.

Thoughts for Grandma Inga and you all from me, as well.

I think you're right.  At my age, minimally covered women is medically inadvisable.

Grandma died peacefully Sunday morning.

It all happened very fast, and Ms 007, her brother, his wife, I, and the grandchildren are devastated.

All the best to you, dear Grandma  :)

And thanks, guys, for all your good thoughts  :)


Afterwards it seems impossible to get going with life again, but slowly one does, first in small stretches, then longer .....

I guess that's how it works.

Bad news always seems to hunt in packs.  On the pet front over the last month or two we've had:
Dark times...

Bad news always seems to hunt in packs.  On the pet front over the last month or two we've had:

  • One cat that wouldn't eat and seemed to be at death's door for a whole week.  Fortunately an injection pretty much fixed him within a couple of hours.
  • One dog that started to have epileptic fits - really frightening at first but she's now on tablets that seem to control things.
  • Another dog that had a stroke.  She's now OK-ish but, given her age, it's only a matter of time until she's taken from us.
Dark times...

That is not pleasant either.

Sorry to hear that. But I'm glad she went peacefully.
Still, it always knocks you down. Makes you feel powerless.

Must have been difficult to have so little time to say goodbye, when it all happens so fast.

I feel nervous...

Tomorrow I have to give a lesson about the human skeleton. And another lesson about the reflex system.
But I haven't prepared the lessons yet. It's not that much of a task, but for some reason I cannot get myself to do it.
It's very frustrating and it's something that happens quite a lot lately.

I can relate to that.  I have a writing project that should have been completed by now, but for some reason I just keep turning away from it instead of finishing the thing.  It should only take one good day's work, and I've done such things before, so I don't really have a reason.  I can't blame all of it on being afraid Steve will beat me to the punch with a Half Man Half Biscuit reference.   ;)

My condolences as well, Nicky.  When you reach a certain point in life, you start to lose people more often.  It doesn't make it any less sad though.  I think the best tribute is to remember the things you loved about them.

Feeling much better today. Both lessons turned out very well. But I just need to be a bit less 'friendly'. Those kids aren't always that friendly too. It's time for 'angry-Paco'. But I'm making progress.

After swimming 30 tracks in one hour, I feel very tired, but it makes me feel alive again. :P

Asphyxiated.

One of the cats has just curled-off what is possibly the evilest mound of poo-poo in the whole history of poo-poo.  Even opening the windows hasn't shifted the odour (if I didn't know better I'd swear he'd been on the Guinness last night) and I've emptied every can of air-freshener in the house.

Dirty little b*st*rd didn't even bury it in the litter, just left it sizzling on top as if he was proud of it >:(

All that nice sunshine over the weekend hides the fact that it's still bl**dy cold in the mornings.  Just been standing talking to the next-door neighbour (another member of the brotherhood of dog-walkers) and comparing notes as we've both got dogs that have recently had strokes.  Amazing how quickly your body temperature drops when you stand still and yap...

Last saturday it was the birthday of a friend of mine. So in the evening we all went to her place, and my ex girlfriend was there too. I talked to her and I still think and feel there's this 'chemistry' between us. It's very difficult... I'm still in love with her... :( And sometimes (like this) I miss her very much... :'(

I just had to write (type) it off me.

It doesn't get easier you just get more used to it. 2 of my ex's are godparents to some of my relatives children  which meant that I would still see them often whether I wanted to or not.

There were two other ex's at the party too. ;D
One was my girlfriend for a week (almost ten years ago...) and the other one turned out to be a b*tch, so good riddance... :P

But my recent ex-girlfriend was my girlfriend for more than three years. And somehow I cannot forget her.
And she gave me hints that she can't forget me either... She has been through a "down period", so it could be that it's gotta do with it. I'm not so sure...
It's a bit of a crazy situation, and I don't know why I am telling you all this. :D :D

Ah, but I feel a bit better now. ;)

Still stressed though... Tomorrow my mentor will take a look at how I teach the children a lesson (literally).
And last friday it went totally wrong in that class... So I'm preparing a doom scenario...

Obviously it's just more bs, but it has the advantage that nobody can tell if you ignore it and play Minesweeper or go to the loo.

This particularly thingy is a totally online endeavor with people all over the place, so it's online by necessity.  Sounds pretty good on the face of it, but it doesn't generate much in the way of income.  Really more of a hobby.

Was feeling very happy (after the match) but on the way out of the ground I got a phone call from Mrs Iggy who had trapped the little cats (Asia) tail in the door. She is now in the vet hospital waiting to be operated on and Mrs Iggy is feeling like sh*t.

She is beside herself with worry as we got Asia spayed last week and 2 general aesthetics so close together is not good.

So here is hoping all goes well for Asia.

Yeah, they closed my internet connection - what a drag, but fortunately my e-mail is still open - but now I'm at Ms 007's, so I got time to bug ya guys - which I'v already done  :P

Nicky.


The vet didn't have to amputate the end of her tail which is a relief.

She is wearing a plastic collar (which is not impressing her in the slightest)  most of the time she has ripped it off about 4 times in the last hour.

We are now internetting together or she's attacking my foot.

Fingers crossed that she'll continue to have the luck of the devil for which cats are renowned.  We've been pretty lucky with long lives for all of ours, apart from poor Samson who didn't even make his second birthday.

Samson grew to be a very large cat (not fat, just big!) but developed breathing difficulties which eventually finished him.  He was brilliant, though, you should have heard him growl at the dogs!

Three cats and one dog all functioning wholly within design parameters. 8)

A further dog with epilepsy, but for whom the medication seems to be 100% effective - no fits since the tablets started. 8)

Finally a third dog who is really old and had a stroke a month or so back.  She's doing OK now, but she's of an age where every new day is a blessing...

There's a lot to do today. There are two tests, one tomorrow and one the day after tomorrow. And there are still some things I have to do.

But I'm quite optimistic at the moment! :)

I feel sad.

Last Thursday the father of a friend of mine passed away.

He was always a cheer-up guy that laughed all the time and making jokes or fooled someone and laughed even harder when others fooled him.
He was 81 years old so i guess you can say that he made the most of his but although he didn't want to go on in the end and basically was preparing himself for the end, it still feels sad.

I'll miss him.

Today is his funeral.  :(

And to cap it all Mrs Iggy is calling her bucket head which personally, since she caused it, is harsh.

Well at least she can see a funny side to it now :)  Many years ago my mother had a cat that needed one of these conical collar things on for reasons that now elude my fading brain cell.  He spent pretty much all of his waking hours walking backwards, presumably in the belief that he'd eventually emerge from this long white tunnel.  I, on the other hand, spent most of my waking hours doubled-up with the giggles ;D

Indeed you're right. They became better by the minute and overall they deserved to win.

Sadly, this is not Guinness-related.  I have a couple of deadlines to deal with, and I'm not in the mood to budge from the prog cave.  Our absurd U.S. tax filings are due on the 15th, and that's always a treat.  Note that I'm not griping about the amount of the taxes, just how convoluted the rules are.  I have considerable experience with both mathematics and government forms, and I find it fairly baffling.  I have no idea how typical citizens deal with it.  Well, that's not quite true.  I do know -- we have a whole industry built around doing tax forms for normal folk who have no idea how to do theirs.   :P

What an extraordinary game !!!

A bit of technics to make Liverpool fans even more disappointed (if possible). I saw the third goal of Chelsea again and it's interesting to describe it.

First there is a huge foul from a Blues (Malouda ?), that badly tackles a Red (Lucas ?) by behind, that the referee doesn't call  :P Then Ballack intercepts the ball and makes a fantastic pass but a Red is late (Lucas again ?), preventing Drogba to be offside and a few seconds later the same Red lets Lampard go alone in the six-yards.

So three important mistakes (I could have also pointed a bad clearance of a Red on Ballack's interception but it came just after the referee's bad decision and the Blues were squeezing hard)  to give the Blues an overall three goals lead.

Just a few minutes after, Lucas scored a goal to partly redeem himself, though.

Fascinating.  Interestingly, it seems that, very generally speaking, the British government tends to approve of the U.S. government, while the actual U.K. citizens think we're a bunch of wankers.   On the other hand, the French government practically always treats us like a bunch of a**holes, but actual Frenchmen tend to be surprisingly friendly.  The only conclusion I can reach from this is you should all take up baseball, which is a proper sport.   ;D

Same with me. I can remember my mum saying the radio was reporting crowd trouble and all i could think of was "oh no , not Heysel again."

Quote from: Bupie on Wed, 2009-04-15, 11:00:32
What an extraordinary game !!!

A bit of technics to make Liverpool fans even more disappointed (if possible). I saw the third goal of Chelsea again and it's interesting to describe it.

First there is a huge foul from a Blues (Malouda ?), that badly tackles a Red (Lucas ?) by behind, that the referee doesn't call  :P Then Ballack intercepts the ball and makes a fantastic pass but a Red is late (Lucas again ?), preventing Drogba to be offside and a few seconds later the same Red lets Lampard go alone in the six-yards.

So three important mistakes (I could have also pointed a bad clearance of a Red on Ballack's interception but it came just after the referee's bad decision and the Blues were squeezing hard)  to give the Blues an overall three goals lead.

Just a few minutes after, Lucas scored a goal to partly redeem himself, though.

God, what a forum ! You find girls that like metal and/or soccer  8)  Hey, Bella, since half the team and the coach are French, I like Arsenal too. If Porto beats MU (which I doubt), in a few weeks the Gunners could have their revenge of the loss against  Barcelona in the 2006 finals  ;)

Actually i think that the goal of Drogba is Reina's fault. No one should ever score from out of that angle. The horror.  :-\
That goal of Alex (what's in a name  ;D) is a beauty if i may say so. What a goal!

Well, we all know that England has not the best goalkeepers in the world. But what really amazes me is that English teams also seem to select the worst goalkeepers from foreign countries  :P (to be honest, Chech used to be good before he decided to wear this helmet). I can assure you that there are at least a dozen or so French goalkeepers that would have cut the score of yesterday's game from a few goals ...

Not really but I listen to Madness with pleasure from time to time. They were really big at the time ... but you were not born yet ! And to me, as a French, they kind of symbolize the British singularity and sense of humour.

Frankly, I find the lyrics of this song really brilliant, in the sense that, albeit purposely puerile, IMHO they express perfectly the mood of a person in love. So I was not intending to mock you at all with that link.

And yes, love is the best !

The funny thing is, when I don't have to go to school, I get up very early, because I feel very awake.
But when I DO have to go to school, I'm usually very tired in the morning...

I think it's psychological! ;D

I know the feeling.  Staying in bed is very inviting if you've got something to do that you don't really feel like doing (school, work, whatever).  If you've got nothing you *have* to do, then you're free to enjoy whatever you like, so there's no resistance.  I'm definitely a night person, but I have enjoyed some mornings.  None of them were mornings, where I had to do something specific.

I'm not a morning person whatsoever. In fact, when I don't get bugged by my alarmclock I can easily sleep until the afternoon. No problem! But on some days one has to get up early for work...I hate those 5 days! ;D

I hated them so much that I quit (ok, really I hated the job; I can get up to go someplace I don't hate if I have to).  Funny how the paychecks stopped coming though.    ???   I'm going to have to do something about that pretty soon.   :P

It was sorted in the early hours of the morning with lots of drilling ouside. They have taken half the road up to find the damaged cable. But now i have power again so i have lots of prog lined up!!

We've had that a good few times over the years since living in Telford - annoying as I'd never had a power cut in my life until moving here >:(

At least iPods and laptops give a little bit of comfort, I suppose, although it's difficult to take your mind off all the food you might lose in the freezer...

That's very unpleasant for you. It also seems a very long time to be without electricity in this day and age. When we had our kitchen done I purposely went for electric oven and gas hob on the basis that at least one of them would be working.

The thought of no music for a day is awful.

Also

I need to train the cat not to sit on my Sky+ box all the buttons are on the top and she is changing channels randomly. Methinks this might explain some failed recordings.  >:(

As I'm not normally allowed to use the TV (Caution!  Soap fan in house!) I don't suffer too much with remote issues, but I was amused not long back by an unexplained issue SWMBO had.  She was In Possession Of Remote but the TV would change channels randomly.  Turned out one of the dogs was sleeping on a duplicate remote and when she twitched whilst dreaming she'd press a button.  This was only discovered when she woke up and wanted to go out for a tinkle ;D

I've been having problems all day. I found out yesterday that it is best to concentrate on what you are doing when closing a sharp pen knife. Apparently it is best to push the blunt side, who could have known? I used my right index finger which is the one I use for my right and left mouse button clicks. So all in all today has been painful considering that I use a computer for my job.

However I found that, although slower, I can use my middle finger.

The best ive heard him in years and the others were brilliant too. I was on the front row too although it was a shame it was a seated gig. But at least i could see everything. Last time i could only see Carl and even then, not all the time. Well worth the ticket price!

It still sucks though, and I/we have no idea where to go now. The travel-agency gave us three options:

1: We can get our money back

2: We can still go to Mexico, but later in the year

3: We can go somewhere else in the same period

The clock is ticking (Tick Tock...;)) though, there are only 25 days left until our vacation starts. If we decide to go somewhere else instead we need some time to prepare ourselves and make arrangements so I really want to decide what to do this week!

Any tips?

Chili, Argentina. Those countries are relatively safe, Flu-wise.

Or you could decide to go to Africa.

Not a bad idea actually.
I've read some articles about Cuba in the past and it seems that it's a pretty nice country indeed.

I just googled Cuba and read some nice articles about it and it sure seems like a very interesting country to visit! So yeah, maybe it's gonna be Cuba! 8)

Like a good boy.  Just arranged to send Mom her Mother's Day flowers.   8)

Do you celebrate Mother's Day in your countries, or is it just a marketing gimmick used on Americans by the flower delivery and greeting card industries?

In any case, it's a good way to make Mom smile without having to supply additional grandchildren.   I suppose I should have stocked up during the sale where Steve got his.   ;)

Actually we do.
Every year on the second Sunday of May, we celebrate Mother's day.
Father's Day is on the third Sunday of June, but that's is from what i know a Dutch thingy.
Silly people, those Dutchies.  :D

Of course it is.
That's why i never give her flowers.
I give her Roses.  ;D

Full of the joys of spring!

This afternoon SWMBO and I took the dogs for a good walk in the woods at the back of our estate (http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=ssfbgkgsy2wq&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&scene=18023657&encType=1).  Everything was a vibrant green and, despite the proximity of the local population, we didn't see a soul during out circuitous stroll - until we emerged from the woods again all we'd seen were a few squirrels.  Bliss! 8)

As the hayfever season isn't that far off, these simple pleasures will soon be denied me :(

Very democratic of you to acknowledge that there are two DTs to consider.   *horns*   I  noticed that the first Devin T one, Ki, comes out two weeks after the new IQ.  I'm tempted to pre-order them both together to get free shipping from Amazon, but then I'd have to wait an extra two weeks for Frequency, and I'm not sure I can stand that without weeping while everyone else talks about it.   ;)   I guess I'll just have to order them individually with another CD each that I want but can wait a bit for.  My list is growing, so I'm sure I'll find something.

Inspired ...

I just wrote lyrics for the next Ten/Symphony X/Dream Theater/Megadeth (or whatever band slightly related to metal) album.

The song is called The sweet revenge of Cicero which is a cool title methinks  ;)

So let's go :

He fought along with Young Cato
Against Antonius and Caesar
Lost his life in this civil war
An unintentional hero


[chorus] The sweet revenge of Cicero
Is in the memory of his name
Did he expect to end that low
After a life so filled with fame ?


His words have stood the test of time
He never feared to let them flow
He paid for them on his own dime
Stabbed by daggers in afterglow


[chorus]
[cool break and killer guitar solo]

Playing with words can be a crime
In the enclosure of Senate
You never know when comes the time
To take part in your last debate ...


[repeat your last debate]
[short guitar solo]
[repeat chorus twice]

***

Of course I took a few liberties with History but, hey, what (prog)metal head will care ?  ;D

So, do you think I have a future as a rock lyricist  ???  Well, feel free not to answer this question ...  ;D

Well, maybe it's "by" afterglow or "at" afterglow or "on" afterglow ? Anyway I chose the word for the purpose of the rhyme and in my mind it was meaning  something like "near dark"  ;)

Officially Aggravated - I've spoken to the legal folks.  It's not them I'm aggravated with.  An ex-wife of my (deceased) father is making a fuss about things she claims she never got that she was entitled to from their divorce.  This is ridiculous since the divorce and dad's death were over 10 years ago, and she surely would have spoken up then if she really thought she was owed something, however she's still managing to make a major pain of herself.  Since I'm the executor of the estate, that means she's being a major pain to me in particular.  Grrrrrrr.  This is definitely going to be a Guinness night, or possibly Dewar's.

Tired but cautiously optimistic - Was awakened by the estate lawyer today, but I forgive him because he had good news -- He did some research, and it looks probable that we can make the crazy woman's claims go away.  Think good thoughts for me because if that turns out to be incorrect, I might just eat some bad kelp so I don't have to deal with it anymore.  This being the case, I may not need you to come make threatening noises in French, Bupie, although if you felt like flying to Pittsburgh (famed for, well, not much, other than a failing steel industry and people who talk funny), we could go see the Three Rivers Prog festival, which includes IQ and It Bites this year.  Best not wear the brie pajamas there though, as the locals may not be cultured enough to appreciate it.   ;)

That sounds attractive  :)  Is not the Three Rivers the Steelers' stadium ?

Three Rivers Stadium was indeed the former home of the Steelers (also the Pirates baseball team), but it's been all the rage to build new stadia lately, and both teams have new ones now.  Not sure which Steelers coach you mean -- they've had a few well-known ones, but I don't recall any that were particularly controversial.  Pittsburgh sits at the intersection of three rivers: the Ohio, the Allegheny, and the Monongahela, so I imagine they've got a lot of things called "Three Rivers" there.

Sadly DT's new album won't be released until the 19th of June, so I have to wait until I get back home from Cuba. Hmm, why did I pre-order it in the first place? Now I have to come back from Cuba after all... :-\ ;)

Glad, and shameful:

Just read that a vote in the Dutch Parliament has banned all mink fur production per 2018 ( that can seem a loong time ahead, but ok, I' m willing to give the farmers some time to adjust). In Denmark we're not even close to such a ban, while in Sweden it's goin back and forth (they just got a liberal government recently, so it's "back").

Mink production is one of the vilest things on earth, as it's mistreatment of animals solely for making fancy women appear (in their own and peer's eyes) even fancier. At least with meat production, it's democratic, as everybody - minus veggies - gets a kick outta it.

China, Denmark and Netherlands are currently the biggest mink producers. With China, we can wait a real looong time, cause they care f.a. about animals, in fact often they don't even seem to care about some of their human citizens. Yeah, that's "communism" for you  :P

A mixture of emotions of the last few days

Pure elation - made my acting debut with the local am dram group last week. The play , round and round the garden , was on for 4 nights and it went amazingly well

Sadess - that the play had finished and i am now waiting for another part. Missing all the cast and crew as well  :'(

Trepidation - looks like i am having a vasectomy next month !!!

All in all a emotional rollercoaster of a week  ;)

Impressed.  I used to be a bit of a bird geek myself, although the opportunity doesn't present itself so much lately.

Also, depressed.  I have to drive about 8 hours to Virginia tomorrow, which I really don't want to do, but it's family, so I must.  Note to self:  Get some real sleep tonight.

Well, the CD player is stocked with the current line-up of 6 that in includes Rewiring Genesis and Terria, but for a trip of this magnitude, I'll want to add some emergency back-up discs.  Something of the "music to play while caught in Washington D.C. traffic without shooting oneself" variety is called for.  In the old days, it might have been worth it to fly there, but in the post-9/11 America, airports are annoying enough to avoid unless one is going to some distant foreign country like Estonia or California.   :-\

A shame indeed.  I shall have to content myself with screaming "Eat your beets!" to 'Earth Day', which is ok since I never get tired of that one.   ;D   I think California's technically in North America, so probably a no on that.  As to Estonia, I'm not convinced it really exists outside of Marillion albums.  Then again, I've been to California, and I *know* it doesn't really exist.

Ms & I just got back to Malmö after a very enjoyable and eventful extended weekend in Stockholm. Early this afternoon, we spent a couple'o hours at the National Museum in Stockholm. It was a pleasant surprise, as there were a lot of wonderful paintings there, some striking Rembrandts, where you really experienced his unique light, colorplay and facial expression, fine Cezannes, Van Goghs and other Impressionists, and some for me surprisingly exciting paintings by Swedish artists  8)

Now back to daily life with my unemployment and strained economy :-\

Moist.  When I walked into the market, it was perfectly dry outside.  When I came out, I walked (ok, ran) into the hardest rain I've ever seen in my life.  I could've saved some time and skipped my shower today -- I'm fairly sure more water ran over me in the 1-2 minutes I was out in that than does in a normal shower.  It was so extreme I almost skipped the trip to get Guinness ... but not quite.

Sad, cause I read in the newspaper that three fine, brave Danish soldiers had just been killed by a Taleban road mine  :(

These damn Talebans are unrelenting  >:(

How they had managed to get a mine there is ununderstandable, as the stretch is well guarded.

It struck me that this is really Civilisation meets Stone Age (OK, not full civilisation, as there's still too much egoism in our part of the world, but generally speaking).

One of the big problems is that now when the opium picking season is over, all the hirelings move to the city to find work, easy prey for Taleban recruitment.

But I guess you can't destroy all the opium fields just like that; you gotta help the farmers cultivate other crops, and that takes a lot of understanding, persuasion, and effort  ???

I feel knackered...

I spend a lot of time today on finishing some schoolwork (not all, unfortunately).
Today, an essay about the behaviour of ducks was written. More specifically the way how they nurture their offspring.
Very interesting, but also very time consuming.

And tomorrow I have to give a presentation about it. Yippee-ki-ay...
(How do you spell yippee-ki-ay, Manatee?)

Knackered but glad that's over.
Tomorrow I'll work on what they (school) want me to finish by friday... :-\
And after that, there's still some more for monday.

Can I go to bed now?

No - even tho it's a stupid question  ;D


I just embarked on Facebook a few days ago. Friends had prodded me, but the last drop was that I wanted to know something about a guy who had a Facebook-profile.

Pretty overwhelming:  Met another dude who was my best friend when we were 10-12. Then we went apart, cause he was succesful with gals (yaknow, the humans with extra bulges and stuff) and rock, and I was sooo shy (like I still am today)  ;D

Met some other old schoolfriends too, and mailed with'm over Facebook.

I also joined the high school alumni club. Woewa, gettin pretty sentimental here, guys  ::)

Well, Paxi, when you get to my age, you only remember the bright sides of homework and chasin gals and stuff  ;D

Any'o you guys on Facebook ?  If ya are, how about givin notice ?

As far as I know, FB is especially big in Denmark, so maybe there are some other forums that are bigger in your countries.

Bluey beset me on my arrival at FB - like I guess she does with all men (yaknow, the humans with only one bulge, and only occasionally) - so we're friends now ... just friends  :)

Just in case you guys think that I'm insufferable:  I got 15 Facebook-friends presently, and more coming on  :-*

Nicky.

I'm also pretty shy. Not on a forum though. ;D Actually, I used to be a lot more shy, but I found out that I can be very social too. I just need to step out and just make contact.

You know, school isn't so bad in itself. It has its charms. And I don't hate doing homework. Some things I have to do are very interesting. The problem is that most things aren't. ;D
And I never chase girls. I'm not a hunter, I'm more of an opportunist. ;)

No. I used to be on Hyves (a dutch equivalent), but I stopped doing that as soon as I started my career as a teacher. Don't want the children to know everything about me. ;D

They found a cyst in her lower abdomen about 20 cm long which hopefully not malignant.

We are going back on Monday to see if there are any more, if not the surgery should be later in the week or maybe the week after.

Thanks for the good wishes. It is a very difficult and worrying time.

Just a toasty with ham and cheese and a big slice of pineapple above it.  ;D

But in this case the ham should be replaced by me.  :-\

I hope everything continues to go well.  SWMBO here had significant surgery a few years back, not something either of us enjoyed :(

On a far more trivial note, I had a blood test this morning.  For nothing serious at all, but I'd never had one before in my entire life and so was somewhat apprehensive as I didn't know what to expect.  Of course, it's an entirely trivial procedure and I feel silly now when others have to go through things far more invasive.  Curiously, SWMBO has taken herself off to bed as she's in shock.  She has a MAJOR phobia about needles and it seems this extends to me having them - not just her! :o

So the praying kept on going...
I'm too scared to ever ride that bike again, it might collaps just when I sit on it...

This happens to be one of the few mechanical things about which I know anything.  Sounds like at worst, your wheel is trashed, in which case, you just need to buy a new wheel (which they do sell without whole bikes), so it shouldn't be as bad as all that.

Thanks, but there's more to it. The bicycle chain is somewhat rusted and sometimes blocked (in which case the chain often falls off...). The chain case has fallen off already earlier. The derailleur gears doesn't work, aswell as one of the brakes. And the lamp has fallen off. So the lamp lies down on some way...
This all in one-and-a-half year time!

Yup, this will cost me.

Nothing that can't be fixed rather easily. But if you are not ready to do it yourself, go to the bicycle shop, ask how much would cost a complete fixing and then compare with the price of a brand new bike. I think you will buy a new bike  ;)

Most likely correct.  Getting things fixed costs a lot.  I have a dent in my car that I'd love to get fixed, but I can't justify the expense.  They charge crazy amounts to fix that, and it doesn't affect how the car runs at all.

Or, you could come over here and borrow my bike since apparently I'm too lazy to ride it anymore.  I've been trying to motivate myself to get back on it, but so far I haven't done much.  Pity, I loved riding when I was into it.

Some nice things have been known to happen in the rain.  I'm aquatic, so I know these things.   ;)    I'll admit to not seeing the connection to sausages, however.  Decorum prevents me from stretching this metaphor (or any others that come to mind at the moment) beyond this point.

How old is your modem? I just swapped mine out and it improved the connection by about 400% either that or it was a massive coincidence.

I've often wondered about that, given that it belongs to the cable company and we've had it ever since we were wired in.  Don't know when that was, but it was sometime around the turn of the century ;)

However, things seem to have been fixed out there in internet land now, so I can worry about modems another day ;D

Now that is really ambiguous, Greenie. Does it mean that you

1)  are in the mood to go to a dentist,
2)  feel anxious cause you have an impending appointment with your dentist,
3)  feel anxious, similar to being treated by a dentist,
4)  enjoy the scenery along the path to the dentist,
5)  feel similar to enjoying this walk,
6) or f*in what ?

Basically, it means I  *am* going to the dentist, so I may as well look at it positively.  I don't feel anxious as it's only a normal cleaning and check-up, plus I never really feared the dentist anyway (unlike the English, ours stopped wearing black hoods and applying hot pokers to the genitals many centuries ago).  There's a bit of choice 4) re: scenery since the office has several cute dental hygienists, but it still falls short of a good date.

Aggravated and going blind.   >:(

Last night, all of a sudden, smoke started coming out of some part of my computer.  I'm pretty sure it's the AC power adapter for my very nice, large LCD monitor.  This is borne out by the fact that the computer still works when I use my old CRT monitor.  The downside is, after being used to a big, crisp monitor, this old one looks very blurry and tiny.  I located a place online that sells replacement adapters for that model and ordered one pronto, so hopefully I'll have my good monitor running again before I need to be fitted for dark glasses and a white cane.

If you had this one, Mrs. I would no doubt order you to go out and buy a new monitor.  I've just deduced that part of the problem is that it no longer believes the color red exists.   :(
If not for the fact that I was able to order a replacement adapter, that's what I'd do, which would be a shame because it would take the place of me buying 20 or so King Crimson CDs.

Hmm, maybe I'm a girly man.  I distinguish red from green quite easily, when it's there anyhow.  In any case, think of the cost to the prog world if the best we could come up with was King Murky Green.

It was probably the haggis.  I blame myself.

On topic: somewhat less blind

A techie friend of mine mentioned yesterday that monitors frequently have wonky color if there's a bent pin in the end of the monitor cable.  Turns out I did have one, and unbending it gave me my red back, which means this monitor is only somewhat unpleasant rather than extremely so.

My sympathies.  It seems to be the season for computer woes.  I hope that reset works for you/you know how to do it (I would have no clue).  I'm somewhat used to this CRT now that it doesn't have major color issues, but I'm still hoping the replacement AC adapter to my good monitor flies here on the wings of an iggle.

That (how to fix it) makes you and me both. I have had a look at the motherboard config in the manual but I am still clueless. Fortunately I know some guys who have built their own machines so hopefully they will be able to help.

I am pretty good at backing things up but I have realised my mail folders aren't backed up which means most of my software keys/licenses are lost at the moment.

Luckily I had just backed all my downloads up so all is not lost.

Although there are many things that can go wrong in a computer, by far the most frequent failure in my personal experience is the power supply.  I've had so many of these die on me in various machines over the last five years that I now habitually keep a couple of spares in the cupboard.  Easy enough to check (if you've got a spare) as you can just open the PC's case, unplug the existing power supply from the board, drives, etc and plug in the second.  No need to screw it all in place just for a quick test.

If that's what's gone on yours, they can be had from various places (even Maplins!) and don't cost the earth.

If only I knew more. I do get the first screen up but then it completely fails to load windows I am thinking if it was the power supply maybe I wouldn't get that far. It is however a good idea. I think I will take it to work and give the techie guys a chance to play.

for some reason my pc has started working.

I unplugged everything apart from the monitor and power and it immediately complained of having no keyboard so I plugged one in and hey presto a blue screen of death which i haven't seen often in Vista. So I tried again and it seems to be working.

So I'm now copying everything onto my external hard disc so at least if it goes AWOL again I have everything.

Ten days ago, my Mom started having some speech problems. As it didnt get better during the next days, I took her to hospital on Tuesday. They scanned her, and found out that she has a cancerous tumor in her brain.

That's a frightening diagnosis.

Tomorrow afternoon we'l meet with the surgeons and discuss different options for treatment.

My brother, Ms 007, and I have been with her a lot lately. My sister has done lots from the States. My Mom will need my attention and company for some time ahead. Hopefully we'l get her back to normal again.

For an 81-year old, she's in remarkably good shape.

My brother, Ms 007, and I have been with her a lot lately. My sister has done lots from the States. My Mom will need my attention and company for some time ahead. Hopefully we'l get her back to normal again.

For an 81-year old, she's in remarkably good shape.

I'm sad to hear that Nicky. I wish you and your family all the best in these difficult times!

Tom

Indeed, and I'm sorry to hear it - my sympathies.

As both of my parents are getting on a bit, and my Dad had a stroke last year, I'm cherishing every hour I spend with them of late.

Ten days ago, my Mom started having some speech problems. As it didnt get better during the next days, I took her to hospital on Tuesday. They scanned her, and found out that she has a cancerous tumor in her brain.

That's a frightening diagnosis.

It means a lot to me that we can share such grave matters. I'l also do my best to share your matters with you. We're now linked by more than music (altho that in itself is quite a lot).

Yesterday we had a meeting with the doctor who was chosen for us. She gave a very convincing impression. She's only 32 y/o, but already very professional and experienced. She'l be doing the operation together with a senior surgeon, + other competent personnel. The operation will be on Friday, 31 July. So that's as good as we could ever wish for.

I feel pretty good. Just finished a small benefit show for some volunteers going to Africa in a few weeks. Hey, we raised 570.00, I played the keys and we fed them with spaghetti and meatballs etc. 70 people showed up in our party room(only fits 50). But is was cool. First time doing this. Felt like I did something that counted a little, for a change.

That'd be me.  I'm in the 'burbs of New York.  We'll have to get you a set of keys made, so you can lock up the Room if you're last here.  Far as I know, pretty much all of the other frequent posters are from Europe.

It's just a running joke we had for a bit when I became a regular.  Since I was always the last one here, we talked about me "locking up the Room" when I left.  You don't have to do anything, although you'd be welcome to come keep me entertained in the middle of the night when all the Euros are asleep.

Surprisingly fine

My car was smashed into by another car yesterday morning, and the hit was directly on the driver's side door.  Amazingly, I was barely scratched (small scrape on my knee, which didn't hurt then and hasn't stiffened up at all today), but my car is extremely mangled.  I learned that rental car agencies almost all close at noon on Saturdays for reasons beyond my ken.   I was eventually able to get something somewhat distant from my house.  Anyway, I'm fine, the other driver is fine, the police were actually nice and helpful (a first in my town to my knowledge), and my insurance company has excellent service, so all in all, it's not so bad.  Most likely the only potential big problem will be if I have to replace the car, depending on how much they give me for the old one.

Thank you, sir.  It actually happened too fast to really get scared.  As potential disasters go, it seems to have worked out fairly well.   Obviously it would be more convenient not to have to deal with sorting everything out, but I'm actually more annoyed about a few other things than this.  I think I need a treat, perhaps being spirited away to Bora Bora by a bevy of scantily clad maidens bearing Devin Townsend CDs.

It's of course always shitty when such problems arise. Any chances that you'l be fully remunerated ?  If so, can you afford to get another car ?

Bora Bora was not the place to be in 2002. But maybe you thought that "bombs" meant sexbombs, Greenie ?  If that's how ya wanna get yer kicks, you'r bein more than ordinarily kinky ;D

Thanks Nicky, and yes, the police confirmed that the other driver was at fault.  My insurance company is going to look at the car today and tell me what the situation is.  If it's a "total," then presumably I'll get paid the estimated current value of the car (prior to being smashed).  It remains to be seen whether that will be enough to allow me to get a comparable replacement.  If they decide to have it repaired, I don't have to worry about that, although from what I've heard, they're never quite the same after an accident.

I was under the impression that Bora Bora was an idyllic tropical island, but geography was never one of my strengths.   Would Tahiti be a better choice?  In any case, I still want the maidens and Devin (recorded, not in person, unless he supplies his own maidens).

Hm, that Black Nepal this afternoon must have been pretty strong  ::)

Yes, you were right, Greenie:  Bora Bora is the tropical island paradise  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bora_bora

Tora Bora otoh is the place where they replaced the sexbombs with bombombs / mountain atomizers :  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tora_Bora

It's probably more pleasant in Bora Bora, iac in December 2001.

Here's serendipity for ya:  Mount Otemanu in Bora Bora has quite an evocative shape:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bora-Bora.png

I dunno, I think Devin might be fun to hang out with, but my point Devin/maidenwise is that he's only invited if he brings whatever maidens he wants for himself because he is to keep his insane guitar-genius hands off of mine.   ;D

I've checked in a few times and seen a similar lack of new posts to respond to -- saw your post on your new musical discovery, but as I haven't had a chance to check him out yet, I didn't have a relevant comment.

Mostly I've been dealing with what seems like a thousand little problems and two or three big problems.  Good news is that my auto insurer came through with a pretty reasonable settlement amount for my destroyed car, so I should be able to arrange to get new transportation without being out of pocket *too* much (still gonna be some unless I downgrade from what I had, which I might).  Meanwhile, I'm waiting to hear whether or not the crazy woman will settle on the stupid estate matter or if I'm in for a long pointless legal battle.   :P   Buncha of paperwork to do for my little "jobs," which pay almost nothing (but then I don't do a lot of work for them either).  Basically, even though I haven't left my home much lately, I feel like I need a vacation.  Anyway, come on back folks, I could use the distraction, and if you leave me alone with Nicky too long, I might wind up with a Celine Dion album.  :o

I know that Mad is off on holidays, and I guess Tom too.

I wish I was off on holidays! It's been pretty hectic and stressful since I came back from Cuba with all sorts of things and work and stuff. Next to that, I'm on the verge of buying a house. I've been renting this apartment for more than three years now and I feel it's time to move on. Just when I had figured that out the opportunity arose to actually buy my own place. So yeah all in all I'm quite busy and when I have time to sit back and relax I'm more likely to spend that time with friends in the real world rather than post rubbish on some internet message board... ;)

I do have plenty of time today so that's nice for a change! :)

Melted.

Took til the second week of August, but it finally got unpleasantly hot here (Our Jacksonville resident would probably laugh at what I consider unpleasantly hot though).  Was out all day getting a new (to me, not quite new new) car to replace my t-boned one.  I'm pleased but even more concerned about finances.

Me too!

I've been away for some time. That's because I spent some time with my lovely girlfriend. She was here a week ago and we thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to go swimming on these hot days. On wednesday evening we went to her place. On thursday we got in the car and drove all the way down to Maastricht, a city in Zuid-Limburg (which is a province). There we (my gf, her parents, her sister and me) were busy renovating my gf's sister's new home. We had a lot of fun. :) Her home is a former bakery, and just when you walk down the street, you walk into one of the most beautiful places in The Netherlands. Very romantic place! ;)
Saturday evening we came back to the place where my girlfriend lives and we had some well earned rest. Today was a nice day for cycling. And now I'm back again.

And how do I feel? Well, it's difficult: I was happy, seeing my precious girlfriend's lovely face each day untill today... Now I'm stuck with you guys again... ;)

Seriously now, great that you had such a good time with your lady. She's the one you'v been in love with for years, right ?  And she's now eager to pick up on the relationship again ?

I have to reiterate: A good partner in life is the foundation of life. To share everything with a person one is willing to share everything with is the best that life on this planet has to offer, even better than DT.

89 is hot but not awful -- if that's the high for the day.  If it was 89 at midnight, we probably don't want to know what it was in the afternoon.  I think we hit around 95 during the day, which coupled with humidity is enough to suck the energy out of me pretty fast.  Today looks like it'll be hot but not quite as bad as yesterday.  And yes, 89 Celsius would be more that merely unpleasant.   ;)

Talentless.

Am I the only person here who doesn't play an instrument?   I played the clarinet poorly in school band until I was about 12, and at the same time I briefly played fife, also poorly, in a "fife and drum corps."  (I wanted a drum, but they were larger than I was at the time, and it's hard to march carrying something you can fit your whole body inside)  Neither activity would encourage anyone to invite me into a band.  Of course I've heard of Les Paul, but I can't say I would know the difference between one of his guitars and the one from the Guitar Hero games.   :-[   I can sing tolerably well, but I have to be somewhat drunk to have the guts to do it in public, and if I get more than somewhat drunk, I sound like a drunk person.

As I plodded through 4 inches of rain in 2 hours yesterday, the concern turned to the tropical storms that are headed towards Florida. All part of the game. Actually all the rain we have had in the last 2 weeks, and all the flooding here, probably will be worse than the storms. We are lucky in Jax because the storms either steer to the west towards Miami, or head northeast and curve away towards the Carolinas. Regardless of the validity of the above statement, this is not a political site. Onwards not downwards.

Since several Roomies have been so kind as to pm me and express their concern:

The operation three weeks ago on my Mom went well, but they couldnt remove all of the tumorous material, and this type of tumor (glioblastoma multiforme) usually grows fast  :(

We'r now preparing for radiation- and chemo-treatment next week, today and tomorrow getting her scanned and blood tested.

I understand that the following days and weeks will be full of tension... :(
It's very difficult knowing that you can do nothing but praying and hoping. :-\
Your mother will have to do the fighting...
But it's good to know that the doctors are doing all they can, and there is a lot that they can do, thank God.
But, if the 'praying for a change' makes place for 'preparing for the end' (God forbid) then after all, I hope that your mother can reside in all the promises that we, you and I know of and will be preparing for (not the end) but a brand new beginning!

Have you created a Simone clone, who turned out to be the return of Frankenstein's monster ?  ;D

I've just got multiple things going on (or not going on but need to be), and the combination has me feeling somewhat overwhelmed.  The car disaster didn't end up being too bad in the end, although it did strain finances a bit more (which is one of the concerns).  The dragon lady (ex-wife of my dad) is continuing to be absurd, and it looks like we're going to have to go to court again, but the estate is broke.  That's worrying, not to mention infuriating -- I'm going have to see if our lawyer will accept some sort of contingency basis.  I need to do something about a job, but I no longer have any idea what I want to do when I grow up, and the job market is currently awful.  I'm in one of those moods, where even small problems seem like big ones.  Basically, I need a vacation from being me.

Reminds me of the time that Elton John booked himself into a Hilton Hotel as Frank N. Stein. The receptionist was looking for him and hollered this name into the mike, bewildering all hotel guests. Only one guest was laughing quietly - guess who ?

Thanks a lot, guys  :)

Well, Nicky, I am reading a saga called Fortune de France, from a famous author named Robert Merle, telling the fictional story of a French protestant who is doctor, noble, spy, soldier and lover during the second half of the 16th century and I fairly advanced the sixth volume (upon thirteen !) these last days. Fascinating, isn't it ?  ;D

I forgot to mention that the hero's only weakness are ... the women. Who would have guessed ?  ;D

So that's why you'r reading it, Bups  ;D

Strange, I'v never heard of Robert Merle  ???  (Hope I'm not the only Roomie who hasnt)  :-[

Is Fortune de France some sorta French national literature, like Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, or À la recherche du temps perdu  ?

I find Monte-Cristo utterly fascinating, must say. And now that I'm getting into the French language, I can savor the delicious nuances  *horns*

I'm really plowing thru it, picking up all details, and I'm in awe about how cohesive it is - particularly surprising considering that it's some 600 pages long, and Dumas, père, wrote several more classics, probably of the same high standards  :o

Nicky.
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Bupie on Tue, 2009-09-01, 13:28:06
As you will see, Robert Merle is a very prolific and talented author : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Merle

The main difference with Dumas son and father, of course, is that he is a comtemporary author and that he wrote about very diverse subjects.

Fortune de France is not always easy to read since it includes a lot of old French words so it's not the best way to start for a stranger. About the number of pages, I am up to more than 2500 now (written in a very small size :D) and I still have seven volumes to read !

La mort est mon métier could be a good entry to his work.

Glad to hear you're feeling better, aswas.  I had a double (in, out, in again) hospital experience myself back in '03.  It was no fun to put it mildly.  Here's hoping neither of us ever has to see the inside of a hospital again.

Puzzlingly not stressed.

I feel ok right now, which is odd since I shouldn't really.  I'm not about to complain about it though; I can use the break.  Also, I appear to have a date for next year's NEARfest (big prog festival in eastern Pennsylvania).  That's not exactly guaranteed since it isn't for another 10 months or so, but an encouraging development nonetheless.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist.  The delicate matters to which you refer are, of course, of interest (although maybe of a bit too much interest to you?), but to be honest, I'm more excited to have found someone pleasant to go to a prog fest with over here.  There are a decent number of such fests, but it's hard to find people nearby who share that interest.  I guess this one is close enough that if some must-see bands were on the docket, I might even go by myself, but it's always more fun to go with someone, and if I'm going to go to one of the more distant ones (like the one in Pittsburgh), I definitely want company.  Spending 8 hours each way alone in the car is a good way to lose my mind if I for some reason hadn't already lost it that day.

I agree it is definitely more fun to go to gigs with someone. Fortunately Mrs I seems happy to go to gigs unless they are on a school night. The only exceptions so far are Arena and Yes. she missed out on the Spock's Beard/ Frosdt concert though which is a shame.

I would have to do the same, although I wouldn't call him my mate since over here that tends to imply it's someone you, um, mate with.  Bald bearded males are not high on my list for that particular activity.   :-\

Btw, any'o ya oldies remember City Boy ?  Great band I listened to a lot some thirty years ago. On top'o it, they'r from B'ham  ;)

Got their greatest hits. I'm so enthralled by this wonderful music that I put City Boy on my Past Masters list  *horns*

Disillusioned!

I dropped by a liquor store today to pick up some German beer for my friend's annual Oktoberfest party tomorrow, and I chanced to read some descriptions of beers including one about Guinness.  Apparently the
"regular" Guinness we have here is actually a mixture of something Arthur intended and LaBatt's, and it's actually finished off in Canada.  This certainly further explains why I prefer the Pub Draught types.  Not only does it taste more like it's from the tap, but it's also purer Guinness.  Now LaBatt's is a perfectly ok cheap Canadian beer (I drank more than my share in graduate school), but it has NO business being in a Guinness bottle!

Pretty weak, but healing, slowly but surely. Being so OLD, recovery is slower. But hell, I missed the music the most out of everything. So what have I missed ?

Hey aswas,

Good to have you back.   *horns*   I spent awhile in the hospital 5 years or so ago, and although I didn't notice the nurses being obnoxious, it was a pretty miserable experience, so I can certainly relate to you being glad to be out.

Let's see, what's new?  Very recently, a new Porcupine Tree album came out, and it's excellent IMO (and most of the Room seems to agree).   Not sure if you were around for the release of the new Dream Theater, but it's been received pretty well too -- even I bought it, and I'm not a particular fan of theirs.  Also not sure if you caught the new Devin Townsend -- quieter than his usual but still a winner.  Recent new release from Knight Area.  I'm a novice with them, so I'll have to leave the comments on that one to someone else.  The new Riverside album and bonus live DVD are both outstanding IMO.  Nothing much new on the Arena front.  As far as we know, some sort of writing is being done for 'The Tinder Box', but Clive and company haven't updated us on progress recently.  Some of the guys found some interesting bands on MySpace -- probably best to find those in Other Bands and Now Playing.

Welcome back again, hopefully for good this time.

Best drink heavily then. It is well known that germs don't like alcohol. Failing that I'm sure they don't like loud music.

Well, Aswas, since you asked:  My current fave is Jeff Loomis' Zero Order Phase. Beats even Dream Theater's Black Clouds. Since I know you like DT and Petrucci, I'm sure you'l like ZOP.

I'v been tryin to get this across to the Roomies, but noone takes me seriously any longer  :'(

Guess they regard me as lost to black metal  :(


Bet else, supplemental to Greenie's recoms, which I can second (also Knight Area, even tho it's not black metal), Alice In Chains have just released a fabulous album, "Black Gives Way To Blue"  ;) ;D

That is the spirit.

Iggy is feeling depressed this morning after some one crashed into the back of his car. Still on the upside apart from feeling shaken up the car and I seem to be ok.

I'm thinking of turning into a hermit, just staying in and playing music. Hope the roof is ok.  ::)

Unfortunately because the guys i was going with had to work and were quite late, i missed both Unexpect and Bigelf (which i'm very sad about  :() but Opeth and Dream Theater were simply great.

Dream Theater: i must point this out: are out of this world.

The things they do on their instruments are astonishing!
Merlin Rudes, John 'fast fingers' Petrucci, Mike 'lumberjack from hell' Portnoy, John 'steady but present' Myung...

Heck, even James Labrie was in excellent shape tonight.  *horns* *horns* *horns*

If it's available to you, there's a funny-but-accurate documentary called, "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" that explains why it is that the above is true.  And yes, you are correct: in U.S. film ratings, a breast is generally considered more of a big deal than a beheading.

While the above is never bad advice, I'm not too traumatized by the negative review of Devin's singing on Vai's album.  Also, I currently have no beer in the house, which isn't such a bad thing since I seem to be consuming a good bit of it when I visit folks on weekends lately.  I feel tired, and I miss our absent (hopefully just for a little while) friends.

Hello everyone,
Well, I am back for good I hope. Boy it has been a hell of a past few months, with my health. Quick question. I have $50.00 to spend on Arena Cds. I have The Visitor, Contagion, Immortal, and Peppers Ghost. Which are the next best 2 cds  by Arena in your opinion? Missed you guys. I am sick of being sick, procedures, tests. Yeah, I'm done with it all

Get the first 2 albums while you can.  Don't make the same mistake I did and get everything except the first 2, only to find that the financial shit hit the fan, and I couldn't buy them.  I have saved 2 spaces in my CD collection for them though.

So:
'Songs from the Lions Cage',
'Pride',
And if you have enough left over get
'The Cry'

You'll be fine. ;)

Nicky.
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: PH on Thu, 2009-11-05, 16:21:23
Hi Nicky! ;)

What I've been up to lately... Well, I was extremely busy with school. But there were also some other things.
Sometimes I feel that the whole music thing is sucking me up. Almost like an addiction. Sometimes I need to put it all aside for a while and do something completely different and then return freshly again.
But this time, I didn't really feel the need to return... To be completely honest with you, I felt that changes should be made...

As you know, I'm a christian and I think being a christian is not something that comes next to all other things. I think it should be first and foremost, the most important thing. That's what was the problem with me. But I made a decision and prayed a lot, and read a lot in my bible and really felt that something should be done. (Man, it's like I'm hearing Neal Morse speaking here...)

So I got rid of all my mp3s on my harddisk, put all my CDs in a box and just waited to see what would happen.
This is what happened: I didn't feel the need to listen to all the music anymore. Didn't feel the need to look for new music. Occasionally I would pick a CD out of the box, but mostly either instrumental music (like Vangelis) or Neal Morse... (Marillion being the only exception, strangely enough!) I just wanted to learn more and more. About God and the Bible.

I haven't bought the new Porcupine Tree album, IQ, Dream Theater, or the new project of Arjen Lucassen. And I was really looking forward to these albums! But now I don't feel the need to have them anymore.
Don't have the new TransAtlantic album either. I'll possibly buy that one (or maybe as a birthday present), but I'm not in such a hurry.

So at the moment I'm not so sure what my contribution to the Room would be. I like you all and I obviously still like Prog. ;)
But indeed, my interests have changed.

This does not affect music alone. I did a 'reformation' (;)) on my games and movies too. And all other things that I gave a much bigger part in my life than I was giving Jesus.

This might seem like a radical step (and to be honest, I think there's nothing wrong with the word 'radical'), but it was something that was going on in my mind for quite some time.

So to get back on topic:
How do I feel?
Well, a bit mixed now of course. I feel very good, have a lot of things ahead of me. Nice things, also lesser nice things. But yeah, I do miss you guys sometimes! And of course I'll step in occasionally and talk a bit here and there. But just not that much! ;D

Hey Paco, feel free to be in here as often (or seldom...) as you wish :) Actually, I find it quite okay for the reason you give to stay away... but not too much, okay ;)
Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Nicky007 on Fri, 2009-11-06, 15:36:22
Thanx for being so sincere, Paxi  :)

I recognize what you are saying. I'v had looong periods in which I spent looong hours in churches and out in nature, ruminating, praying, desperately seeking grace from above. I often considered withdrawing into a monastery.

People are different: Some manage to go along with the flow of life; others get bogged down all the time. Imagine yourself dragging a cross where the one arm grinds along the earth and gets stuck.

I really know the feeling of isolation.

Then when I was 45, I met Ms 007, and I slowly realised that she was the right woman for me: deep, loving, empathetic, veggie, reliable, faithful. As a long-term single, I had bred several of them typical hermit obsessions, and she helped me clarify'm. So I became a normal guy, as you can see  ;D

Otoh I helped her find her way back to the Church; she's now a member of the Swedish Lutheran Church again. (I'm member of the Danish.)

I realised that one can be just as deep and just as close to God living as an ordinary person in a healthy relationship in society. And one has the benefit of sex, which Bups as a Frenchie knows can be quite enjoyable  :D

I think that there are two important things to realise:

1) What's meant with "Life is a gift." I heard it first time from Kierkegaard, but now I know that several thinkers before him have said it. It's certainly not as enjoyable as getting presents for our birthday and for Christmas when we were kids. I think one has to think of the alternative as non-existence.

2) I also think it's important to realise that we are at our origin alone in the universe. This realisation is the turning point (crisis) where the New Age really begins. And from here on we start building true bridges between living beings.

Lately I'v been experiencing myself at the bottom of society: Jobless, moneyless, without a a formal education that I can use, despised by people who don't know me - who don't want to know me - really down to basics. Strangely, that has made me feel closer to Jesus. Remember, he relinquished all the trappings of society, and became despised, persecuted, and ended up dying in the most awful way. I think he did all this purposefully: To show us the way into the New Age, on the way to the New Jerusalem.

These are some of my thoughts that I'm now sharing with you guys. Hope they make some sense to you  :)

Nicky.

Not easy things to work out is it  PH

I struggled with my faith for most of last year and have in fact walked away from it all 12 months ago. My faith was being tested and it was just not strong enough.

It is only over the last few months that i have come to accept my decision as being the right one but i know that lots of people are continuosly having their faith  challenged and it is exceptionally hard sometimes.

Hope you still find time to pop in here and say hello and although i will not be praying for you  ;) i will be wishing you well.

I feel tired.  I just got back from a long weekend in Pennsylvania.  Much beer and Nicky-friendly food was consumed.  Now I need to wrestle with the new computer and get it internet-ready and loaded with my important files before this one gives up the ghost completely (the likelihood of which is why I got a new one despite tight finances).  And the people who are actually here to read this are less catatonic Room-wise than the rest.  Religion is not my topic of choice, but I'm sure I'll have sumpin to say about sumpin presently.

I've been far from active lately but to be honest I come here for the musical side of things. I don't feel the need to share my view on (for instance) religion and I hope you can respect that. I can talk hours about music or bands that I like but lately a lot of these bands aren't really on the progressive side of things and over the years I felt slightly ignored when I was talking about non-prog music here in the Room. That's why I refrain from doing that. But I actually just made some sort of an effort in the Now Playing thread... ;)

Pretty optimistic.  We just had a foot of snow dumped on us.

It's good  :) You could add that the Reds are about to win the 2009-2010 Championship but maybe that would be a little too much optimistic ;D  :-[

Tired.

I've been to the hospital with my daughter yesterday evening.
And this morning too.

The doctor thought about a appendix infection so she send us straight to the hospital.
After various of tests they said that for 99 % isn't the appendix but they're not quite sure what it is.

She still has pain on her right side though.  :-\

Fortunate!

I'v just become a regular member of the Judas Priest Noticeboard (chatforum).

It was an initiation with several surprises: You have to gain 25 "respect points" to become "regular".

Well, I wrote a couple of positive posts about Nostradamus (wasnt hard  ;) ), and some chosen senior members gave me points. Then I delved deeper into the board and proposed "friendships" on the basis of mutual interests (a "friend" yields 1 point), which were reciprocated.

And then all of a sudden: I was was stuck at 23 - just before reaching the goal. I proposed more friendships, but these were not returned, I wrote more posts; man, I even asked my best friend on the board to nudge some of his friends - to no avail  >:(

That lasted for about a week .....

I strangely got one extra point for being my own friend, so I was up to 24 - even more cliffhanging  :-\

Then suddenly yesterday, I had 62 points. Where those extra 28 points came from, only God knows - well, maybe also the webmaster  ;D

Iac I can now go beyond the NP and "What's yer fave Priest album/song/gig" etc. and discuss Nostradamus, which is my main interest .....


As you guys can see, I still like dropping by the Room - and it seems that even with my casual visits, I'm still a main poster here  ;)

Nicky.

However, there arent more than a few hundred posts a day, and most of them are only a sentence or two, lotta videos and pics.

As most posts are about groups that don't interest me much - Maiden, Megadeth, AC/DC, and the likes - I get thru'm fast.

Strangely, my posts are among the longest  ;D

hey guys, well I finally had to go under the knife, totally unexpected really, after all the procedures, tests, etc over the past few months. I missed ya'll from down here in good ole Florida. Scared the crap out of me. Just now starting to regain strength and get out of the f.... bed. Hell, it is gonna be a good year, don't you know. To celebrate, I ordered Songs from the Lions Cage today. Looking forward to the Room again. Seems like I have said that 3 times now. Hopefully this is it.

I know this post is drying up, but for the first time since I have been out of the hospital, I was able able to stand up and play my keyboards.

Doesn't sound like much, but since I have been playing since I was 5 years old, it was a BIG hill to climb. I could only play for 15 minutes but I

have been waiting for this day for weeks. It was such a natural high, words can't express, except.. damn it it's gonna be all right!!! Thanks

Thanks for the best wishes, boys. It helps, though today I definitely entered a maelstrom of different feelings, basically because as of today it's official:

After April 20th, I'm unemployed.  >:( :(

The reason?

That's an easy one: Bankruptcy.
There were a lot of printers who still had to pay us the money for our work but they didn't.
The answer is also easy: Because of the crisis that's covering Europe.
And even some of our customers (the printers) went bankrupt so it became harder and harder to keep our head above water.

Shit. <---sorry for my language.  :-[

Me = not very happy at the moment.

I've had a lot of stuff to do today and tomorrow won't be any different.

But today I see it as one of the best things that happened in my life, losing my job that is  :)

If I had stayed there, I would'v still been struggling to fit into a very conventional (read: unprogressive) lifestyle. E.g. I would'v probably not been listening to prog today  :(

My life since then has been quite a rollercoaster - big ups and downs - but I'v sure tried out some unusual things, and gained a lotta self-confidence strugglin thru, and become bigger (unfortunately also in a physical sense)  ;D

Instead of living other people's lives, I'm now living my own life  8)

Mad,

Don't give up. It is easy to say I know. I was terminated due to medical reasons about 14 months ago. It was a great job, one that I thought I was eventually gonna retire from. They called me on a Friday afternoon at 5pm, and had the you know what's to ask me to come empty out my office of 8 years, the same day. I was crushed to say the least. I went there with friends because I was in a wheelchair. Long story short, after many, many months of the Feds testing me, as I was swallowing my pride, and ignoring the whispers and looks, they had to go with my doctors and theirs, that truly I had to go on Social Security Disability. The process is embarrassing and strips you of your self esteem down to nothing. I am bed ridden 90% of the time, but I am still alive and kicking. You will find something man, I just know it. Keep the faith. I always look at the positive. While in bed, I have written 7 songs in my head, and 15-30 minutes daily I prop myself up in front of my keyboards and translate it to music. My goal is a CD. And it will be a good one. SO maybe there is a reason for everything that happens.

Thanks for the very kind words. I said them because as bad as stuff looks, ya gotta take something good out of it, and you have to keep reminding yourself of the good thing periodically. It keeps you motivated and driven and keeps ya from given up. Easier said than done I know. And it took me 5 months to keep pulling out and reaching for the good, and to learn that it is there. I just wish people didn't have to go through crap like you are going through. It is a test of some kind, and I have no doubt that you will pass it. Good luck ASWAS

I too wish you a good recovery and many good years ahead of you  :)

And I understand what you'r saying about music:  I'v had periods where life turned against me and seemed so meaningless and purposeless that it was really a struggle to go on  :( And then a wonderful piece of music with some uplifting words - mmmmmmm  :)

That I was lost and couldn't find my way

No-one at hand
Having no plan
I stumbled through a barren land

I was lost and found
I had hit the ground
I was lost but now I found

- Lost And Found, by Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing

That was cool Nicky, I like it. Everybody has problems, much morse than mine. Mine I deal with, but my nature is being friendly and being a listener. It gives me alot of pleasure. It takes my mind in a good place, just like music does, and takes my mind off of me, you know. I'm glad I come in here and see what has been going on. You guys are becoming my friends, and I enjoy that alot. Thanks ASWAS

Today is the 21st anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster when 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives at an FA Cup semi final game.

There is a display of 96 pages from the local paper here in Liverpool from the days after the disaster and i was reading them before.

So , today i feel angry and sad at such a tragic waste of life

Justice for the 96 they will never walk alone

I feel...kind of sorry. I went to the US, came back late from up there, and went directly on vacation in Southern France, and now I'm back to work - with a lot of work I didn't do because of me being absent. With all this, I didn't check my mails often, posted only one message on the Room, and barely had the time to read your posts.  :-[ And I also missed, I guess, many birthdays to wish, and all that stuff. So sorry for being that late, or posting delayed answers.  :-[
I read the previous posts, about Mad loosing his job and Aswas going through difficult times. I'm glad you found a new job, Mad, this is really nice for you.  :) And to aswas, your message was indeed really touching. I think you're right when you say there's a good reason for everything. We're all expecting to hear some of your music here !  :) Keep on recovering.

I was talking about schoolwork.  ;) This is quite a bad moment to be late in my work, because I have some exams at the end of the year, which is quite near now.
About my practise of the english language, I used to listen to american or english music, watch TV series or movies in their original versions, and have been learning english for... uh, 7 or 8 years now. It's a language I love, and some of my friends and I sometimes talk in english to train ourselves, or just to have fun. What I don't understand, is that I watch american shows or movies, and my american penfriend told me I had a english accent. This is strange.  ??? Thanks for the compliments, Nicky.   ;)
As for my musical tastes, I should thank my father for listening to prog rock.  :)

I remember chasing around southern Paris looking for my brother's travel bureau in an office area. I walked into a fancy big open office with floor-to-ceiling windows and state-of-the-art computers all around, and nerdy young guys working at'm, and I sure expected that at least these guys would be conversational in English. So I asked in English where the travel bureau was, and the guy gaped at me as if I were R2D2 jumped right outta Star Wars. I tried to put it in pidgin, didnt help. So I had to do it in my rudimentary French at the time  ::)

Are you guys aware that, while (almost) everyone else on this planet does computer stuff in English, the Frenchies have translated everything into frog. Like a computer is not called a computer, instead it's an ordinateur - of all things ! Who would'v guessed ?  I guess for Frenchies it doesnt really matter what you call the damn thing, as long as it's not called a computer  ::)

And data is "donées". Good grief !  I mean, how about complicating matters ?  Everyone else says "I got some data for ya" (easy), but the Frenchies have to say and write "donées". That almost sounds like "donuts".

And software is "logiciel"  ::)

And so on and so forth.

I can understand why Bupsie listens to Nightwish  ;D

As the chemo alone had done part of the job, she will be continuing with this chemo treatment for a while.

On Sunday she travels to Germany to stay with our family there for a week.

Sounds good, Tom. Hope you have some great experiences  :)

We walked thru southern Stockholm early afternoon today, up onto some peaks with marvellous views and along waterfronts, passing by some real old atmospheric quarters. Then we got to the center and saw the king's palace, parliament building and some other impressive classic buildings. Had a nice meal at the Museum of Modern Art, and looked at some fine Kandinskys and Kokoschkas and other paintings. There was of course also some weird stuff, as any museum for modern art worth its name has to have  ;D

So back home with a nice cool Pilsner Urquell  8)

We'l eat some tacos (veg of course) and probably watch the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus afterward - supposed to be good.

And a funny explanation:

whippersnapper - 1674, apparently a "jingling extension" [OED] of *whip-snapper "a cracker of whips," or perhaps an alteration of snipper-snapper (c.1590). Cf. also late 16c. whipperginnie, a term of abuse for a woman.

- Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper


whip·per·snap·per   /ˈʰwɪpərˌsnæpər, ˈwɪp-/  – noun

an unimportant but offensively presumptuous person, esp. a young one.

Origin:1665–75; prob. b. earlier whipster and snippersnapper, similar in sense; see whip, snap, -er1

I am not an expert about the Reds but it seems that this season has been pretty disappointing for them.

Sometimes, a coach's speech and method don't work any more after a few years. The players need someone/thing else. maybe it was the right time for him to leave.

Yeah, it sucks. We don't get such an opportunity soon again I assume. Do we have to wait for another 32 years?  ;). But Spain deserved to win, so all credits to them.

I feel... a bit stressed! The last few weeks have been among the busiest of my life so far. :o A lot of my colleagues were away on holiday and there was so much work to do. Outside work my time is filled with playing guitar (I played an acoustic set in a pub last weekend, it went great and I got free beer afterwards! :P). I also went camping in the Ardenne region in Belgium with friends last week, which was a lot of fun. So I guess that explains why I've been absent from the Room lately.

Tomorrow evening another adventure already begins, I will embark on a trip to Budapest, Hungary...by car!

Have a great trip, Tom  :)

Check up the prog and metal scene. I'd like to hear about it. In fact, I don't know of any Hungarian artists or groups, only Julie Kiss, the great singer of To-Mera. But there must be some good stuff around. Hungary has a spirited culture and is just as westernised as Poland.

Ms and I are now in Stockholm with two of her sons, who live here. We had a very enjoyable stay up north with her youngest son, and we saw some impressive nature.

Fortunately both sons here are big Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam fans, so we've been listenin a lot to EV's soloalbum and PJ albums. They also like The Roots, who are pretty good as far as hiphop goes. They take in a lotta jazz elements  8)

One Hungarian band worth checking out is Mindflowers, a metal/rock/jazz/fusion band who plays instrumental music.

Worth checking out! Trust me. ;) (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=998)

But....Indeed; Have a great trip, Tom.  *horns* *horns* *horns*

Maybe a bit late, but thanks guys! *horns*

I'm back. It was great. What a city, truly one of the most beautiful I've ever been to. At night everything lights up: Buildings, bridges, everything. Really magical. I know now why Budapest is often called 'The Paris of the east'. The fireworks above the old Buda-castle in the hills on my last night there felt especially great as I was reflecting on an amazing week at a terrace, overseeing the Danube river and the old castle when suddenly the fireworks came out of nowhere. I get shivers again while typing this. I guess it's one of those things. You had to be there.

One day at the beginning of the week I went to a station in the centre of Pest called 'Deák tér' by metro. Upon arriving there and seeing that name displayed on the walls of the station, a lyric suddenly went through my head: "Back again at Deák tér, I know I could have left her there". It drove me crazy but later that day I finally remembered where I knew it from: It was a lyric from Ending Theme, a song by Pain Of Salvation! Luckily I had Remedy Lane (the album it's on) with me on my iPod and after listening to it that night lying in my tent before going back to the city I realised there are a number of references to Budapest on that album. Needless to say, from that moment onwards Remedy Lane was the soundtrack to my week in Budapest!

Just came back with the family from a week of inner-German holidays at the "Mecklenburgische Seenplatte". The weather didn't mean overly well with us, so we actually had only one single day at the "beach". But there was enough to do and see around the region. The rest of my fortnight off work will be full of tax return, tidying up my home office and writing some applications for hopefully better jobs... hope dies last, we say :/     (lastly? please correct me)

My mood is good, due to the brilliant music I'm listening to atm, an the prospect of a nice evening with my lady.

Hi guys!

I feel fine.
After a three weeks holiday, I'm glad to be in the Netherlands again.

I've been to the Cote d'Azur, which, in hindsight, isn't really my thing.
The weather was great of course. Much better than in the Netherlands. But the people there drive like madmen if you ask me.
And a sun-sea-beach-vacation isn't really my cup of tea.
I'd much rather walk in the forests, or in the mountains, or alongside rivers or lakes.

So on the way back to the Netherlands, we stopped at a small village where we had our holiday five years ago.
It was so peaceful there. Very quiet. Nice lakes. Truly beautiful mountains.
Needless to say that I had a nostalgia moment and wished we had stayed here for three weeks (or more).

It was also the place where I used to listen to Arena on my mp3-player every day. So I said to myself: "When I get back to the Netherlands, I have to listen to it again!"

Didn't happen (yet), but I felt I just had to log on and post something again here on the forums.

Perhaps if I get the hang of it, I might post some more.

--Paco--


PS: What happened to the lay-out? :o

Yes, people do drive crazy down there  ;D And I share your opinion : sun-sea-beach-vacation is not my thing, too.

Right now I feel good - to be back home.
I've been absent for 3 weeks, having a trip in Venice, Austria, Nürnberg and Darmstadt (just near Frankfurt).
Venice was my favorite, it really is fantastic place to see - especially at night, when everything is quiet and you can hear waves echoing gently.

Possibly, but I'm not that addicted anymore. Still love it here though. But I simply have so much other great stuff to do. For instance, I finally have the feeling that I have regained my passion for being a teacher again. Can't wait to get in front of the class again! (Bloody holidays! :D) Also, as you can see in the Now Reading thread, reading books has become another addiction of mine.

8) - both

I hardly need to tell you that I'm too a big reader. Before I was about 14, I didnt read all that much, maybe like so many other kids, who split their time between cycling, climbing, swimming, mischief, tv, listening to music, and reading Sherlock Holmes and stuff. Then life became a problem to me, a real problem. I started realising with a vengeance that I was alive - as an individual - then that my life would once be over, worrying about death, what was beyond, you know, all that stuff. My parents werent too helpfull. My Dad had wrapped himself up in his physics, and my Mum was fretting about that she herself hadnt really made it in life and about how to get thru to my Dad, and I guess by that time three teenage and pubertarian kids were also takin their toll  ;D

So I started reading voraciously. I was looking for answers, answers, answers, and I virtually went everywhere with my search. And I bugged all sorts of people with my questions. I must have been a pain in the hagenass to all these people.

Then when I was 27, all of a sudden the Bible started talkin to me - real serious.

I became real churchy, and that's been goin up and down since then, but today I feel comfortable with my Lutheran faith.

This doesnt prevent me from venturing out on all sorts'o crazy excursions, as you may have realised. I do however avoid outright satanic stuff.


Quote

Me too. I was actually missing you during your AWOL  :'(

Tom occasionally turned up and entertained me for a while, but then he was away for long spells.

Draco's amazing for being a kid. He only comes rarely, but then he's generous with personal stuff.

Deenie's been gone for as long as you, Paxi. I don't know whether he's married to a goat now  ;D

Nobody else seems to have that easy talk gene. But that could change, of course  ;)

Actually I was indirectly pointing you to a typo. You spelled you'r which can mean that you incidentily put an apostrophe there, or just simply forgot an 'e'.
Of course I knew what you meant, but after such a long time it felt just right to mock you a bit. ;)

Yep. Used to be a real pain in the ass... err... back. But today it's getting better. Although I must say it came back (hehehe). I think it's got to do with working in the garden for four full days.

I can follow you there. But my opinion is that people can allow themselves to be on thin ice far too easily.
I like reading about all sorts of theories, but as soon as it conflicts with the Bible, I have problems with it.

But seriously, I remember you also had a period in which where you weren't very active in the beginning of this year, and that's normal. I guess everyone here has a (busy) life outside the Room and that's good. I mean, something would be seriously wrong if we were hanging around in the Room 24 hours a day, right?

That's not to say I don't want it to be a bit more crowded again, just like it was in the 'old' days. :)

Good to see you again, mate.
It has indeed been a long time but I'm positive that you didn't waste that time.

Second:

I've got to make an apology to you since I haven't said anything about you (temporarily) leaving the board, nor did I send you a message or anything. Didn't really know what to say I guess.
Though I understood your reasons and most of all respected that, I must admit that I was quite sad about it.

Tired and sunburned but not bad

I spent both of the last two weekends camping with friends.  The first was at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, which was loads of fun.  The music was nice if not spectacular.  The best known acts I saw were Taj Mahal and Richard Thompson.  Really, we spent more time just sitting around talking, people watching, meeting new and strange people, and drinking beer.  The music was just an excuse to be there.  Upon returning home, I immediately fell on my face and slept about 12 hours.   ;D   Last weekend was a little quieter but still pleasant and still well marinated in beer.  We brought too much food and drink (my friend insisted it was better to have too much than too little), and lots of skunks showed up to visit in the night.  Nobody got sprayed though.   ;)

Oh, and if I haven't said so yet, it's great to hear from you again, Paco.   *horns*

A bit tired. I've been on a forest camping (it was my first one) with a friend, and the night was kinda weird.
It was about 11 p.m. when we heard something exploding in the sky. We quickly got out of the tent, just to figure out that it was only some fireworks from one of the towns near us.
It was 00 when I woke up, because of a strange sound. It was a helicopter, flying something like less than one hunderd meters above us. It quickly disappeared, and we started hearing motors, and voices in the woods surrounding us. We found out some people were probably having fun with motor bikes and quads - and it lasted for about an hour. Then, we fell asleep and sometimes woke up, hearing some animals sniffing our stuff and bags out of the tent.
It was weird, and we didn't sleep much, but that was fun . ;D I thought nights were more quiet in "the wild".

I'm a bit stressed. I will leave for a great two-week adventure through Egypt this saturday, and there are so many things I still have to do before then! :o

Have any of my Room-mates (hehe) been to Egypt? If so, do you have any tips or other things you like to share? :)

Btw guys, don't tell Tom that I said it, but he's back from Egypt, he's just hiding - Peeping Tom  ;D

Okay, I'm done hiding for now.

Indeed, I'm back from Egypt. It was super.

Some highlights:

- The Great Pyramid of Giza and the Giza Necropolis as a whole. Man, these pyramids are huge. How did they build 'em? Fascinating stuff.
- Abu Simbel-temples. Unesco moved these temples somewhere in the sixties to prevent them from being flooded after the building of a dam.
- Sleeping in the desert under the stars.
- Watching the sun rise over Luxor from a balloon.
- Camel riding.
- The Valley of the Kings. There are tombs everywhere and there's still a lot of digging going on. I wonder what's still lying there unrevealed.
- Snorkling in the Red Sea.
- Also, Egyptians asking me how many camels I'd like to trade my girlfriend for. ;D

That's it for now. ;)

History repeats.
Scroll back 4 years and some, you'll find me, put aside by a manager who didn't even take the time to go into my team and what we were doing. Now the same thing happens again, a decision has been made, communicated in a meeting, with obviously no means of bringing arguments why it might be a bad idea. Instead my future will be a result of how well I play along the decision, which includes swapping all my team members to another team, documenting all the systems we account for, leaving myself in the nothing. I usually put heart and effort into the tasks I'm assigned. Seems like I'd better learn to leave the heart out, which is a total contradiction to my understanding of work.

I understand you well, Cap  :)

Mankind is in many ways degenerating. Just look at mainstream culture  :'(

I grew up in a scientific environment, studied, worked, lived it for some 45 years ... real long time ... until I gave it up. Well, actually I was ousted, but just as well  :-\

It's now real hard to get back into mainstream society, but fortunately I do have some chances, which I'm trying out .....

The question of whether one should struggle further in a lousy job or drop out is moot  ???

Hope things get better for ya, Cap ... or else we just have to get together and start an Arena tribute band. I'l take the spade, and I'm sure you can do some growling after what you've been thru, so we'll make it an Arena death metal tribute band. I'l let you sing "Kill 'boss name', 'firm name', 'x-lover's name', ' the guy who didn't give a beer's name', etc"  ;D

Seriously, good luck, Cap  :)

In any case, you'r highly valued in the Room, aint that right, guys ?  A Cheers to our Cap  *horns*

I already had gear problems two weeks ago but thought they had fixed that.

Not is the right answer.

For twenty years they have never played a concert and when I finally get the chance, ....  :(

What an incredible city ! Special mention to the MNAC which is really something out of this world (I'll let you find out what hides behind the sigle) : the Oval Hall is probably the most incredible room I have been in  8)

And, yes, Nicky, before you ask, girls are incredible too (although I presume that there is a fair share of tourists/students in the mix).

Im stressed! The people next door are playing music at me too loud. Even worse its drum and bass or r n' b! Its been bad like this for about two months now. Its so loud i cant hear my tv and my room positively shakes. Ive trie banging on the wall and shouting for them to turn it down but they wont. Ive tried covering up the sound with Dream Theater but i can still hear the incessant beat. Its getting unbearable. Ive lived here for 22 years and never had a problem with neighbours!.

Ive never seen the people as they are in the next block but their main room is next to mine and then there is a landing between them and their other neighbour. I dont know who is below them.They play all sorts but mainly r n' b, drum and bass and other stuff like Michael Jackson. Its hip hop at the moment i think. I complained to the Housing Trust yesterday and they are sending them a letter as no loud noise is a condition on our tenancyagreement. I was also told to get in touch with the councils noise abatement department too and keep a diary of the times it is happening.. The walls are really thin in these apartments and a little noise is expected but not when it intrudes on my life.

Have you also tried talking to them?

I know what you're going through. I've also had neighbours like that for more than ten years. It was really awful. Apart from their loud music, they we're also very much like terrorist actually. Kicking against our front door, their children beating us up, etc. We had a very hard time there. And when we finally moved out to another place, they hung out the flag.


At the moment I feel alright. I had a bit of a problem with my wisdom teeth. I have all four of them, but lately they began to hurt. So the dentist already removed one of them, but now there's another one inflamed. And as if that wasn't enough already, I now also have an inflamed taste bud. That hurts like hell. I can't eat in a normal way...

Thanks guys. Id rather  the neighbours dont know who i am or what i look like for fear of repercussions. I live alone and its a guy that plays the music. So i dont want a confrontation. Hopefully a warning from the housing trust will help. Maybe they dont realise how loud it actually is but the walls here are so thin.

Sounds like you live in a tough neighbourhood!
I personally don't see why you can't say anything about it, but if the only way is through the housing trust than go for it.

Things have been a little better. only two bad days in a week rather than it being every day. I just have to write down when it happens for two weeks and then send off the results to the housing trust. I dont live in a bad neighbourhood but being in london means that most people keep themselves to themselves. I think the guys next door may be working now as i hardly hear anything in the daytime in the week.

Yeah, we discussed this before in the Dutch part of the forum with a prior gig; we really should get ourselves t-shirts or badges or something with "the shattered room" on it so we can find each other at gigs!

There aren't many Dutchies in the Room lately, only PH from time to time but I don't think he's got hyves.
He was anti-social network a few years back and because of the changes he's into (spiritual) I doubt he's interested in it.

The lack of idea that we should make an appointment before the show is indeed ... silly.

Een beetje dom in Dutch. :lol:

QuoteI beleived we decided to add eachother on MSN for a couple years ago. I believed only appelmoes added me.....
I'm not that terrible  :'( as a may look like...!

Nobody added me at all! :'(

QuoteSo Tom, check your mailbox, Mad, added you on hyves, facebook to go and for the rest.... I'll bite only if you ak for it ;D ;D LOL

And I'm very curious who that guy was last Saturday who wore a light blue longsleeved blouse..... Does he enter the Room sometimes?


Doubt that he does.

There aren't any irritating people in this Room.

We've banned them ages ago. ;D

Edit: but, of course, we should be on topic!

So...

I'm still feeling a tad bit ill.  :(

There was a mess up with tax calculations by our government and I got my letter today.

I'm picking up my brother, his wife, kids, and a boyfriend of his daughter, at the local train station here in Malmö in an hour. They all live in a village north of Paris.

I'l have to speak French with Junior, who's 11 y/o (the Terminator, as we call him, cuz he smashed everything within reach when he was smaller), as his English and German are very rudimentary.

I'm NP'ing Adagio and Deathspell Omega.

And posting to my French friend Bupie.

This evening I will take up "Le Comte de Monte-Cristo" again.

So it's francophilia bigtime today  8)

I seem to have a bit of a headache  ::).

My brother lives in Queensland, fortunately in one of the less soggy areas but still very soggy. It is an incredibly sad way for all those thousands of people to start the new year. Here is hoping that it dries out for them soon. Apparently there are floods across the equivalent of France and Germany it certainly makes me count my blessings.

No worries, it's not in the air yet. ;)
Don't even know if that will ever happen (still in a test-phase) but I was curious about how it works (read: to see if it's really that difficult or not  ;D), being an administrator and all so I decided to begin one.
It's also because I wanted to help on an existing, Dutch forum of progwereld, because they will change to a different forum.


And besides...If it ever launches on the net, then it would be only interesting for you, since it's a forum completely in Dutch. ;)

I've been digging into this forum-thing and create one (as an administrator) for myself (a test-forum) and also helping out this other site, so that meant PM's from one side to another and, most of all, occasionally it got quite late (read; not much sleep on this side).

So I have to blame this to my tiredness.  :-\ :-[

Surprised.

While scrolling through metalmusicarchives.com's last reviews , I found a countless number of reviews of a Russian band called Senmuth. In fact, it's a one man's project and the guy has released no less than 20 full-length albums in 2010 : http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=90703

The most surprising thing about it is that somebody took/found the time to listen to all of those albums (and the dozens released the previous years  :P) and write a rather long review of each. And I guess it's not Senmuth himself since the ratings are pretty low  :)

In fact i am a red but can get cheap tickets through work for Everton hence James' first match was the toffees.

Hugely proud

The following is a match report written by the opposition manager about the 1-1 draw with our lads team on sunday. The keeper they refer to is my son James  ;D And they are the best team in our league

Away to Heswall on a muddy pitch. The boys started quarter 1 kicking up hill into a slight breeze, slow to get going allowed Heswall to take an early advantage of possession & the first couple of chances of the game. Harry in goal making 2 good saves. In these exchanges we were 2nd to the ball & looked tentative. Heswall took the lead through some sloppy marking & this being the kick start the Blacks needed to realise they were in a match. We tried to play on the ground, not easy as parts of the pitch the ball held up in the mud. We tested the Heswall keeper a couple of times towards the end of the quarter, he made 2 fantastic saves to stop us drawing level. Quarter 2 we started more positively and created several good chances but again their keeper was on top form making saves from Josh, Sam, Ewan, Tom L & Tom A. We were camped out in the Heswall half for long periods, winning several corners before finally beating the Keeper. Interception by Josh who brought the ball forward 15 yards to find a pass to Tom A, Tom turned his marker beat 1 more to fire a well placed shot into the net from edge of the box. Quarter 3 & we were kicking up hill again at the back Josh & Thomas W had things under control making many tackles, interceptions & clearances to midfield where Sam & Tom L today played with determination & desire to win the ball, making a number of fine passe's for Ewan & Tom A but neither could beat the Heswall keeper who made save after save. Brought back memories of England v Poland 1973. He played out of his skin. Harry had little to do but had to make a good save towards the end of the quarter as Heswall broke away from a Panthers attack. Quarter 4 was one way traffic we created chance after chance. From the kick off great pass from Ewan to find Sam excellent shot but another top save. Josh tested the keeper from long range on 3 occasions Tom L had a great chance & the move of the match from Ewan & Tom A with an interchange of one two's worthy of Barcelona ended with Ewan bringing out another top save. In the last minute Heswall broke 3 on 2 with Josh & Thomas W this would have broke the boys hearts if Heswall had scored but good work by our 2 at the back. We ended the game on the attack & if we were still playing now i don't think we would beat the Heswall keeper, who was magnificent. We had over 20 attempts at scoring, 15 on target but you get those days when the ball won't go in. Good game, full of entertainment, played in great spirit. M.O.M today went to Sam for his hard work all over the pitch & never say die attitude. Sam created several good scoring opportunities & could have had a brace for himself. All the boys played with composure and never stopped trying to play good football.

Looks like your son could receive a proposal to play for Heswall next season  ;D

And since the goalkeeper position is not the best crowded with outstanding players in England, why not hope for more ?  ;)

Congrats to your son, anyway  :)

Sorry Bups , my mistake , James is the Heswall keeper. Well until Liverpool come calling anyway !!

I am watching him play in a 5 a side competition for the school tonight so fingers crossed.

The team is 5 lads in his year at school and 5 older - they are all great mates now and train on a tuesday night and attend a soccer school on a saturday.

I doubt that they will leave to play for another team as they enjoy the fun of playing footy with their mates too much at the moment.

Then again , if i get a bung he may move  ;)

So you got Britney Spears to sing on your new album?



I feel frustrated.
As you might know, I'm (trying to be) a teacher in biology. Therefore I am a trainee at a secondary school.
Yesterday, a class had a test and I would examine it afterwards. But my intern mentor gave me the wrong checking model.
Of course I realised just after having already checked half of them.
This is gonna get messy...

And I have no idea whether or not you understand a thing of what I just said since Google translate didn't translate the word "nakijkmodel".

I feel apathetic. There's a LOT to do, but I simply can't get myself to do it.

In my book, yes especially because a burn out isn't the same as a depression (light or heavy) but on the other hand...

Life nowadays demands a lot from everyone.
You can see it on the telly, hear it on the radio; we 'have' to do sports, be good at school, you're not allowed to have a 9-5 mentality, do voluntary work, etc etc etc...
I can imagine that some people can feel really down from time to time.
In fact, even I have some moments where I feel like life is going faster than my body can handle.

I'd say, cope with it for now, but do things that make you happy.
What you really shouldn't do is sit down and do nothing.
That only make things worse. Trust me, I've been there. ;)

Well, it has been almost two weeks since I've been here so a belated thank you but you also deserve an explanation.

As it turns out, my daughter isn't autistic but on the other hand she does have some signs of either ADHD or ADD (I expect that the English translation is the same as Dutch but if it isn't, I'll explain this later on)
I personally want to give this further research but we haven't really decided yet our course of action.
She does have a lot of problems at school, she is not able to do all the tasks (having said that I have to say that the youngsters must know a great deal more than me when I was younger), needs more time to finish them and that means that she wants more attention than the school and teachers are able to give to her.
Remember, the class is full of 24 youngsters with just one teacher.

But because she can't keep up with the rest of the group, the school basically said that it would be better to place her on a school that is capable of giving the attention that she needs.
She actually admitted, not with that many words, that the class is too crowded for her taste.
Fortunately there is such a school in our little city but personally I felt really bad about that.
Maybe a bit selfish but this is not going the way that we've planned or better yet, hoped it would be.
She's not dumb, I know that for a fact but she shows her abilities at the wrong time and that's why she have to go to a different school.
I've always knew that she was 'different' than other kids from her age but I know that knows more than she shows to us.

I have 4 kids, all in good health, and still the Empress (mother of the last two) is always unsatisfied with our everyday's life and its tiny problems. I keep telling her that we should enjoy what we have and consider ourselves VERY lucky but she can't get convinced and our couple is constantly on a tightrope for whatever matter (musical tastes, work schedules, food shopping, domestic cleaning ...)  :P

Well, that's what we hope for.
Like I said, she already mentioned to us, not with too many words but still, that the group is too crowded for her, which means that she has hard time to concentrate.
It's not the end of the world, I know but I just wanted that she would have to go through her school years in a different way than I did.

QuoteI have 4 kids, all in good health, and still the Empress (mother of the last two) is always unsatisfied with our everyday's life and its tiny problems.

I know the feeling.
We also have some of those problems.
To be honest, also in the way how to raise our kids. I'm more strict (no means no, though I must admit that I'm sometimes to stubborn to change my mind) and the missus tends to 'negotiate' more, compromise.
And I must admit, again; that she is usually more successful with it than I am.  :-\
Which means that I should give some ground but this runs deep.
It worked for me, to some extend so I want to use it to my kids as well.
Who knows, we might be good with it in the end. She compromise and I do the hard part.

Talk to each other helps though might also raise some new problems.
Like I said, parenthood can be a b*tch.
Being a father with all those tiny problems, tiny because I believe that there are others who are less fortunate (so in that way I understand what you mean) made me realize that no one can ever say that he or she is ready to be a parent unless you have a kid of your own.
Then you know if you're ready or not.
And even then, you'll have some tricky times ahead.

In any case, stick with it!!

And now I'm just babbling. ;)

In my experience the best advice and uplifting words are said to someone else instead to yourself so I know that you're right, but it doesn't feel like it yet.

But being a positive guy I know it will work out fine in the end. :)

Thanks Nicky!
Although I do have some seconds thoughts about that, in my opinion every good parent should have second thoughts when it comes to being a good parent (so it makes you aware of your own flaws and mistakes in order to learn from them), that is a nice thing to say and most of all a nice thing to hear.

It puts a smile on my face.  :D

Ms 007 and I have a great relationship, but even here my musical tastes are a matter of stress. She can't take most of the music that I prefer, particularly not at the volume that I require, and she considers me a snob and intolerant of others' tastes. I know that that thought never occured to Roomies  ;D

Well, passions  ;)

The problem is even greater with my family and friends  :-\

I'v solved it by generally keeping my music to myself, and only answering specific questions by people in my firstlife  :-X

Erm, during the last years more and more of these ADHD-kids are found out to be highly gifted in one or even several disciplines, and their style of behaviour is just an outcome of their being bored with what's going on. Over here we have special tests, sure there are such at your place, done by pedagogues and psychologists. I don't want to raise false hopes or anything, but you might want to find out, so go and have her tested.

I posted this because one of my sons has similar--- erm--- behavioural specialties, and those kids definitely do need special teachers who can evaluate what's going on in the kids' minds, and not just take them as an eccentric or nerd or whatever.

Aren't you referring to Asperger's syndrome?
To my knowledge that is a form of autism and not specifically ADHD.
I do think that she's really clever (can't say highly gifted but still) however the only problem is that she is showing it at the wrong time.
She has the 'gift' to amaze us from time to time, even the teachers at school but when she has to, her thoughts are someone else and because of the many children in the class (22) she finds it hard to concentrate.
Funny thing is that we're learning quite a deal of our daughter during this situation.

We found a school for her, not very far (in fact, very close; only two streets away from us) but her application has to be reviewed by a different bureau. That basically means that we'll get an answer if everything is allright or not, not sooner than the end of May, which (how obvious) is not to our liking, especially because my daughter can't stand changes very well.  ::)
In fact, we even have to inform her in advance when we're planning to re-organize the living room.

Well, a month has passed since my last comment in this topic, but it feels like I had written that a week ago or something.
Why is time going so fast. I don't like it. I need time to reflect on things, but I gotta keep going... Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this fast society filled with people who are doing fine.

Now I have to write an article about goosebumps. It has to be around 3000 words and it must be from a biologic point of view. It should be my own words, but I have to back it up with reliable sources. I must show the result in one week from now. And I have exactly 80 words now...

Apart from that I also need to do a research on the behaviour of ducks. I have to study them three days in a contiguous four hours each day. I have to write down what I think is extraordinary about them. I have to write an article about that too. Three weeks for that.

Then I have a schoolproject. I must use a virtual learning environment and fill it with stuff that pupils can use to learn about biology. At the end of June this must be ready.

In between, I have two days, tuesday and friday, on which I teach biology at a school. On monday, tuesday night, wednesday and sometimes thursday I follow courses at school myself.

How do I feel right now?
I feel like I'm going mad!

I bought a ticket to Copenhell, June 17 & 18  *horns*

600 DKr, about 100 Euros, amazingly cheap, that's what one would pay for just one concert with a group like Priest.

Guess the organisers expect to get their monetos home with the beers.

I'm really lookin forward to the festival, particularly Priest, of course, but also Korn and Opeth. I have a dvd with Korn live, and they'r real amazin live, have an extraordinary contact with their audience  8)

Then there are some ten groups that I don't know well. I'l let myself be surprised.

What's also nice is that I'm meetin up with friends who are just as passionate about metal as I, tho not so much proggy  :)


The work at the Experimentarium is goin well. I'm still doin basically unskilled work, but I have nice and fun colleagues, and I can see the purpose of my work: contributing to giving kids a fulfilling and educational experience, which makes them curious to learn more. My job as Bodyguard also gives me the opportunity to talk with a lotta people of all ages and types  8)

- and I guess I'm not the entirely introverted quiet type  ;D

I havent yet found anyone at X who's much into prog, but X-Erik, just like Room-Erik, is into King Crimson, and we'v been sharin KC-cd's, and I got to know Black Grape, a lively Manchester funk-rock band, and Bad English and Frederiksen/Phillips, regular but hard-rockin hardrock/metal bands, and at last got around to listenin to Tim Buckley, Jeff's dad, who's also  8)

Fergie Frederiksen was Toto's vocalist on the Isolation album, which is of course very good and has an hard rock edge that is not to be found on the previous (and famous) Toto IV neither on the following Fahrenheit. Recommended  ;)

But, I need to relax right? It's part of life? Or am I wrong? Please tell me, 'cause I don't know anymore.

Violated: I was at Copenhagen Main Station yesterday evening, on my way to Malmö, at the ticket automat. There werent many people around, so I didnt feel that I had to be extra careful. Guess at 22:00 I was a bit tired too. I did see a suspicious looking guy 5 m away standing along the wall, but thought no more of it. I didnt think anything would happen to me - typical, I guess  ::)

I had my travel bag on the floor, and took off my backpack to get my discount card out. I made a mistake whilst punching in info, got refused by the machine, and had to go back to an earlier stage. So this time I paid more attention. Everything worked well, and I got my ticket.

I reached out to take my backpack, but ... it was gone, totally gone  :o

A second of getting myself together, and then I ran in several directions ... but no sign of either backpack or thieves. Of course the guy along the wall was gone too.

I had my Nokia phone in the backpack, a 6700 classic, fortunately not an advanced phone. I had gotten it as part of my recent subscription, so I didnt feel I had actually paid extra for it, but still. I'l probably have to continue paying for the subscription.

And all my keys, to my own home, to Ms 007, to my Mom, and my work keys. Plus my phone & address book, calender, a nice perfume from Ms 007, and three fine cd's. Fortunately no cash, and no credit cards.

I went over to the local police station. They were just in the midst of a personel shift, and werent very helpful. However, they assured me that these types of thieves usually didnt go far from the station to break into people's homes.

So I decided to travel on to Ms 007 in Malmö. On arrival, I closed down my phone account. Next day I phoned in a police report. This guy at the the police station was fortunately very forthcoming, and we got things down in detail.

Man, what a mess !  And what a miserable feeling of violation  >:( :(

Well, I'm OK now again. There are just quite a lotta practical things that gotta be done .....

Any of you guys had a similar experience ?

Nicky.

To answer the general question I haven't been robbed but I was beaten up rather badly when I was in my teens and in the right place at the wrong time.

Sorry to hear that Nicky but at least you are ok. Horrible people around.  When I was a teenager, I came back from holiday to find our house had been burgled. They only took a few items of cheap jewellry but made a mess of the house having opened and tipped out drawers of stuff. Its the feeling of violation that was worse than what had been taken. The police thought it was a gang of kids as a neighbour had heard lots of footsteps running up and down stairs. I've also had a purse stolen from a nightclub but i got it back. Empty of course!!

@PH:

It's not very common but hernia does happen to young people as well.
In fact, a friend of mine had his first at age twenty.
And even now it sometimes returns and he's 41 right now.
Good movement, training a bit might do the trick but I'm no doctor...

Keep yourself in good shape I'd say. ;)

Several years ago, I had my wallet stolen out of my coat that was hanging up at work.  I didn't lose as much as you did, but it did have all my credit cards, my driver's license, and other assorted ID.  Definitely a pain to get everything sorted out there, and it sure didn't feel good knowing someone had my personal stuff.  Losing all your keys sounds especially troubling.  I hope you have a minimum of problems getting things fixed up.

Thanx, guys, it was nice to get all your solace and support, and interesting to hear about your similar experiences  :)

Monday evening, when I got home, there was a message on my homephone. A guy with a friendly voice told me that he had found my keys. I got him on the phone Tuesday, and he told me that he was a gardener, and he had found my stuff in a park close to Cop Main Station. We made out a meeting place in the afternoon, and it turned out that he had found three of the five key sets that had been in my backpack plus my calender. That was real nice of him, and about a half recovery for me. Still outstanding is my cell phone, which now is completely unusable by any else than me (I phoned in the IMEI nb), and my address book with several hundred contacts - and some asshole is using the perfume and deo that Ms 007 gave me.

An unpleasant experience that she had was that one of the thieves had been fiddling about on my phone in the period between the theft and my arrival at her place, and he had, probably by mistake, called her up. Her phone rang only twice, and she didnt make it, but she saw that it was my number, and called back, expecting to hear my voice, but instead heard a shrill voice that said something she couldnt understand. So of course she feared the worst, and was happy to see me alive and well upon arrival. Next day she got a locksmith to install a new main lock on her door, which of course incurred a sizeable expense (doubled cause of Saturday)  :(

Guys, promise me to hold well onto yer things when you'r not sure who's around you  ;)

Nicky.

Post by: The Butterfly Man on Tue, 2011-07-12, 11:12:54
I'm feeling good, I had a great weekend.

On Friday one of my best mates got married. The ceremony was very nice and the party that followed was awesome. Too bad I was the one who had to drive home... :P

On Saturday my alarm went off at 6:30AM: It was time to drive to Germany for Night Of The Prog! And what a day it turned out to be... Here's a short review.

Haken opened the day. They played most of the songs from Aquarius and also a new song that sounded pretty interesting.

Then it was Vanden Plas' turn. They played a few songs from Christ 0, my favourite album by them so I was happy.

RPWL was next. I had seen them before but I was amazed by the stage presence of the guitarist, Kalle Wallner. His playing wasn't too bad either... ;-) Highlight of their set for me was Hole In The Sky. What a song! *horns*

After a quick turnaround IQ took to the stage. Musically they were as good as ever. The weak link was Peter Nicholls, especially at the beginning. After a few songs it got better though and when they played Guiding Light I found myself in another world.

Then...... Dream Theater, my main reason to visit the festival in the first place. When they were preparing the stage for DT and Mike Mangini's drumkit was rolled into position the crowd went nuts and cheered and applauded at the sight of this monster-kit, much to the amusement of the crew. I never witnessed something like that at any gig I ever went to.
Unfortunately there were some technical issues forcing the band to delay the start of the gig (I saw their manager Frank Solomon running around in anger backstage, James LaBrie also seemed pretty pissed) but they made up for it big time. The band sounded very tight already and LaBrie was on fire. Also, Mike Mangini seemed somewhat moved by the reception of the crowd when LaBrie introduced him. It was great to see. John Myung also seemed to be really enjoying himself on stage, battling it out with John Petrucci on several occasions.
 
Setlist:
 
Intro: Dream Is Collapsing
1 - Under A Glass Moon
2 - These Walls
3 - Forsaken
4 - Endless Sacrifice
5 - Drum Solo
6 - Ytse Jam
7 - Peruvian Skies
8 - The Great Debate
9 - On The Backs Of Angels
10 - Caught In A Web
11 - Through My Words
12 - Fatal Tragedy
------------------------------------
13 - The Count Of Tuscany

Then it was time for Anathema, but I didn't get to see them. We were exhausted and figured that we had seen them enough the last few years to skip this performance. Besides, we still had a four hour drive ahead of us so the festival ended there, at least for us.
 
A special mention must go to the location. Night Of The Prog is held in an old amphitheatre on top of a hill overlooking the river Rhine and it's surrounded by forests and old castles. During DT's gig the sun was slowly setting and that gave the whole experience just that little bit extra. It really was amazing and I had a great time.

That's all! ;)

DT, Haken, Vanden Plas, and Anathema are pantheon with me  *horns*

For some reason IQ don't do it for me. Maybe if I had a chance to experience them live, it would change matters  :-\

RPWL I would have liked to experience  :)

I'm actually most curious about the Haken concert, as they'r a bit of a pet group for me, until they really break thru, as I expect they will. Their Aquarius is formidable imo  *horns*

Could you describe their concert a bit more  ;)

You wrote "we". My guess is that it was you and Madame Butterfly  ;D

Well, for starters, the singer wore bright red trousers... ;D

The music came across really well in a live-setting, it was a flawless performance by all bandmembers. They seemed to get the crowd along pretty easily, although I saw many puzzled looks during the growling-sections. But that's to be expected I guess.

One thing that stood out for me (besides the trousers) was the singer's voice. It was really good. He has such a versatile voice. 8)

The new song sounded interesting. It has all the ingredients we've come to expect based on Aquarius. By the way, the next album is supposed to come out around the end of this year!

So yeah, all in all the day was off to a good start. *horns*

QuoteYou wrote "we". My guess is that it was you and Madame Butterfly  ;D

Correct. :) And my dad was with us as well. He's the one who introduced me to prog many years ago. He thought he was going to like DT since he adores the Score-DVD (which I gave him last Christmas), but that was not the case. In fact, he hated it. Afterwards he said that he didn't hear a single bit of melody. Oh well... :-\  He did like the rest of the bands though, except for Haken (initially). He thought they were trying too hard to be like DT. In some ways I think I can see where he's coming from, but I didn't agree with him. I said: "Wait 'till you hear the real DT later today". When we walked back to the car he said: "Wow, Haken is really good!" :P

If you stand outside of melodic heavy metal, they can sound alike, but within MHM I consider that Haken have carved their own very special slot. E.g. they have all that playfulness (more like Bigelf)  8)

But today I had a customer who was a bit frustrated because noone could help him get signed up for something.
I did not know how to do it either, and the ones who DO know, where absent. So in the end he got really pissed (and I can imagine that). But there was nothing I could do... He was angry and wanted to speak the manager, etc. etc. Didn't feel to well at that very moment... :-[

Today however, it got confirmed. :(

Hessen and Burgwald are around the same place. We were in Wiesenfeld, a very very very small village in the town Burgwald, which lies in the district Waldeck-Frankenberg in the province (or county) Hessen. ;)
So, where exactly have you been? :P

Yes, but when you log into The Shattered Room for just five minutes, it lets you show up in the active users list for twenty minutes or something.
When you posted your reply, I was luckily asleep.

We have been in Oberaula in the village Olberode. I meant the Province of Hessen. We have been in the north of it, you (what I've seen from the plan) more in the south. Correct me if I'm wrong, geography never was my best subject at school ;).

Tired and sunburned

I just got back from the Philadelphia Folk Festival.  The music certainly isn't prog, but it's still enjoyable.  Mostly it's 4 days of camping with friends and meeting new people, and you go to the music when you feel like it.  We had quite a bit of rain, which made for some muddy mess, but it was still fun.  A few of the better-known acts were Arlo Guthrie, Jorma Kaukonen (of Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane), and Levon Helm (from The Band).

Well, have to work tomorrow after 4 weeks of holidays. Not looking forward to that ::). I know now that I won't sleep that much this night and no ..... I don't hate my job, always have that after holidays and I don't like mondays either  ;).

Right now, I feel satisfied. A friend of mine and I went at my uncle's who owns a small music studio to record, write and play music for a week. It was a very interesting experience, we learned how to deal with sampling, using synths, mixers... We wrote some stuff, and we are currently post-treating two "demo" versions of some of our work - and more will probably come. I may post them on the internet in some time - but I cannot announce any date right now, nor be sure that I will do so.

Such an experience sounds better than Disneyworld!
If you don't like it when everyone in the whole wide world (www) can hear your demo's, you might just put them on some private website or behind a rapidshare link or something, and just give the link away to the ones who ask you for it in a PM.
I would like to hear it! ;)

Sure, that would be a perfect fit. I'm having some trouble with my software right now, so I can't get out with an audio version, but I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. Thanks for the piece of advice!  ;)

How do I feel?

Pissed.

It's game over for my laptop. There's a 'crack' in the screen, which came out of nowhere. So half of my screen is black. I quickly started to transfer all my important files to my other pc and a day later my other pc's harddisk is defect. So now I've lost a laptop, a harddisk and all my important files!

>:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

When is this going to stop!?!?

Luckily I still have warranty on my laptop, so tomorrow I'm going back to the shop. Hopefully they'll give me a new one, or make sure they'll fix it!!!
But they'll probably just talk themselves out of it and I'm not very good at that kind of tactics.

This.

If I want to fix it, I need to pay 230 euros.
This I won't do. I have better things to do with my money... This is the second laptop in two years that ends at the garbage dump. I'm done with it.

The good thing is that your laptop is always up to date when you buy a new one every 2 years ;)
Mostly in fact when you buy a new laptop infact it is already old, the technic is already further...

I understand your frustration but maybe you should look it in a different way.

When you buy a new laptop, if that's what you want that is, you have to pay more than 230 euro's.

It's a shame and frustrating that it is damaged, but if it is repairable. ...

Something else.
I'm painting. Which is great. I'm not too good, but I'm not trying to either. :P Just wanna do something else instead of reading a book or playing a game. It's immensely relaxing actually. I can recommend it!

I can play the guitar and keys, and teach theosophy and languages, but with painting I'm pretty hopeless: I know where to place eyes, nose, and mouth in a face, exactly (after all, I'm a scientist), but it'l look more like a monster from Growlistan than true art  ;D

Feel a bit better now. Though I'm occasionally out of breath, literally.
I can keep a grip on things up until about eight in the evening, but then the bed calls.

And I have to obey.

Funnily enough awake.

I've put my oldest to bed at about a quarter past eight (my son was already in bed since six o'clock, mainly because he was very annoying and he didn't cared to listen anymore. ;)) but soon after that I fell asleep on the couch.

My wife woke me after she got home from work.

I feel a bit sad...
My girlfriend has gone to Denmark for a week, since last friday. It's for school and it's only for one week, I know. But it's such a big distance and to phone her everyday would be a real pain in the wallet. So the only communication is the occasional text message...

But she'll be coming back this friday! Just in time for my birthday! ;D

Im buzzing after seeing Arena last night in Leamington. Spa. I was at the front as per usual and I have to say it was probably the best I have ever seen them. it was my 7th time. Paul is totally awesome and I love his voice and his stage presence. Hes a natural showman but also a really nice and humble guy. The setlist was just right and it was good to hear so many of the songs off of the new album. I spoke to all of the guys except John M and got my new copy of the album signed by 4 of them. I will get to JM in the future. But I truly feel great. I love it when a plan comes together and it was money well spent. im probaly the happiest I've been all year. ;D

Just bought two tickets for the DT concert January 27 in Copenhagen (Valby-Hallen), for Ms 007 and me, and I'm really looking forward to the concert  8)

Missed them last year when they played in Stockholm. Got too expensive all in all.

Ms aint so hot on metal these days, but after all, it was she and her sons who got me onto DT some ten years ago. One of her sons even had a Petrucci guitar at the time. So she has to come along - and she has agreed  :)

Unfortunately I won't see Arena this time around, as they'r not playing in Scandinavia. Understandable, as they have very few fans in this part of the world  :(

However, I am looking forward to listening to Seventh Degree  8)

Today has been a very busy day.
I woke up this morning and got a phone call from my girlfriend. She was not feeling well. She was on her way to school, but felt a very painful pang in her belly. She more or less stranded at Utrecht train station and couldn't walk anymore, because of the pain. Ambulance personnel was already there and they told her to see the midwife. So she was brought to Amersfoort with a taxi (thanks to Dutch Railways who funded this!). My dad and I picked her up and we went to the midwife.

Luckily there was nothing wrong with the baby, but still my girlfriend was in great pain. So we went to the GP, who couldn't find anything, so in the end we went to the hospital, where they did multiple test (blood samples, ultrasonic examinations).
In the hospital there was still nothing to see. No cystitis, no appendicitis. It all seemed to be ok. But still, my girlfriend felt pain.

Needless to say that we are a bit worried. Although we are of course glad that everything seems to be fine with the baby. Tomorrow morning we go back to the hospital for a check and perhaps an MRI scan.

As if things weren't difficult enough already... ;)

Hey Nicky, well done on the new job! Good luck with it! :)

Thanks to all of you, for the kind words. My girlfriend ('girlfriend' somehow still sounds more human than 'fiancée' ;) ) and I were back in the hospital yesterday, because she had to come back for a check.

Right from the moment we got there, she started to vomit, very badly... So, again a few blood samples and urine samples were taken. It all was ok. There was nothing wrong. A doctor felt my girlfriend's belly and couldn't feel anything wrong either. So the doctor said: "Here are some painkillers, good luck with it, bye!" But as soon as my girlfriend tried to walk she vomitted again and had a terrible pain in her belly, she literally couldn't walk because the pain was unbearable. I got a bit 'angry' because they wanted to send her away a bit too soon, for my liking. Fortunately they agreed to check further as soon as they realised how bad it actually was.

So we were sent to the gynecologist to confirm that everything was OK with the baby, and to check whether there are any complications in the uterus area. It was all OK again, which is nice of course, but what the hell is wrong then?!

My girlfriend's temperature was rising, and because she couldn't hold any food or drink, they wanted her to stay over in the hospital.

Today, more or less the same thing all over, blood samples, urine tests, ultrasonic examinations, etc. etc. etc. They are breaking their heads about what could be wrong. There's nothing to be found, but infection values are high. She is under control and she has an intravenous drip placed next to her bed to avoid dehydration. Blood pressure is low, but not 'too low', temperature is jumping between 36,3 and 38,6.

So.... Probably a busy day tomorrow. ;)

I feel okay right now. I'm in the middle of exams for this semester, and as the most important part of it is past, I don't do much of my days. Which is good, 'cause the revisions really were exhausting. I may be spending the next week with a friend to do some music - can't wait for it to happen.  *horns*

You know, Paxi, altho it's very unpleasant, I hear that quite often, that the first three months of the first pregnancy can be like that. So there probably is nothing unusual about her condition. So pull thru with it, and be at her side as much as possible during this difficult period  ;)

Thanks for these kind words. Yeah, many Frenchies are quite closed to the outer world, but I believe -hopefully- that the new generations and those to come will make this better. I see more and more people around who think of travelling, meeting new people, and who are more tolerant and curious about what lies beyond our borders. There are still lots of improvements to do, but I'm sure we can get this right.  :)

Right now I feel good. I have a week of vacation that's just starting. Yesterday I was with a friend, and we took a guitar, and said "ok, now let's write something out of nothing". Thing is, it actually worked really well, and we spent the rest of the evening composing something totally new. It is far from finished, but what we wrote sounds good and like nothing we did before. Holidays are starting the best way ever  8)

My Auntie was 91 and not well so it was not a great shock when she passed. What was nice was there were about 60 people at the service to celebrate her life.

That's sad, Iggy.  :(
My condolences to you and your family.

Nice to hear. Happy holidays! Where are you going to stay Teunis?

Good mood here for 2 reasons.  :)
Fast internet reached our village. 40 times more speed. So far we had just DSL light with 384 kbit/s. Better than nothing, but as you may imagine made streaming and downloads a little uncomfortable at times.

And...great gig tonight in Rüsselsheim. Sylvan – Sceneries tour.
Small club, for about 300 attendants. Can't wait, really looking forward to it.

I feel better than yesterday, when I was really upset.
I was having my mathematics final. I worked for it, and yesterday we were finally given the tests. It tunred out there were at least three different tests, and we were given a random one, so we couldn't cheat with our neighbor. That would have been no problem if the tests had been balanced in difficulty, which was not the case. Mine demanded to master notions that were never seen in class this year, while the others did not. I'm in the first year of a cursus, so I guess they're trying to make as many people as possible fail, so that only a small part remains. But apparently, work is not the criteria here; it's nothing but pure luck. And maths is far from the only class where things were upside down. I've been one of the few who attended all classes, did the work I was asked, and though I am very likely going to pass this year, I can't help but wonder if all I did was useful after all.

Sad, and envious of you limey mf's: We'v had some fabulous summer days in Malmö, and now the big Malmö Festival is coming up, eight days of culture en masse. And guess what ? Not one leading prog group, only rather standard rock like Soundtrack of Our Lives and The Hives. Man  :'( :'( :'(

I have about 15 Scandinavian pantheon groups, including Malmö-based A.C.T and Hälsingborg-based Cloudscape, but nobody thinks of inviting them  :(

And you limeys, you can go to a concert with a great group virtually all evenings  :P

All of this for DKr 115  :o

My cat has been unwell again. More days in the hospital but she seems to be better now. The poor little thing suffers from ataxia which is  is a neurological sign consisting of lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements, as in walking. Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum.

It is not pleasant to watch  :(

But hopefully things are on the up.

Prozac is good stuff.

You know, I'v been there too: 8 years ago, I spent 9 months in a psychiatric ward (Gentofte Hospital), and some 2-3 years feeling miserable a lot of the time.

With the help of many good people (family, friends, personnel), my cat, and good music, I got thru.

Thru this process, I'v become a much more independent, self-confident, assertive, and I think I can claim friendlier, person.

My "prozac" is good music, and an occasional good beer  8)

Whenever I feel down, I put on some music that makes me happy, and crank up the volume. I call music "my medicine". So I don't need the regular medicine  :)

There have been occasions when Roomies have almost got me back in the psychward  ;D

My other cat has a sore on its body and is wearing a buster collar. She has been walking backwards for 5 minutes now. It is funny to watch whilst being really sad.

I can feel a night with no sleep coming up.

Still at least my boss is letting me work from home tomorrow so that I can make sure she is ok.

And happy as my Flying Colours tickets have just arrived only 3 weeks to go.

Yesterday I went to the partner (girlfriend?) of my father who recently had an open-heart surgery, she's doing fine now btw, and while I was driving home from the hospital I suddenly felt quite strange.
Didn't really get better when I was home, on the contrary.
Had the chills allover my body, like I had a fever.
After a very long night of sleep (approx. 13 hours, no less) I somewhat feel better but still quite strange.

A virus is hiding under my skin.

So I feel a bit ill.

I feel a bit disappointed. I had bought two tickets for The Killers' show in Paris on thursday evening, one for me and one as a surprise gift for a friend's birthday. It was snowing heavily and the show was cancelled two hours before. It took me 3 hours to come back home by train instead of one. And we still have no information from the producer on whether it's cancelled or postponed. I hope LiveNation (the producer) gives us intel soon.
On the other hand, thursday was also the day I passed my driver's license, which was successful.  *horns*

Almost completed a major back-up of this as well *horns*

Feels like a guy that has seen Toto for the xxx time last night. Steve had no voice at all, Nathan East still does not convince me but it was really cool anyway and Joseph Willimas is by far my fave Toto vocalist. White Sister and Home Of The Brave, those intros give me goosebumps every time  8)

And Teunis, they played Wings Of Time  ;)

Now it's Muse the day after tomorrow.

Sad.

My cat has ataxia and has some other unpleasant symptoms.

Happier today as she is a bit better. Yesterday I thought she would need to be put to sleep and she is only 5 and a half. It is her 3rd attack in her short life. It is really very stressful.

My mom has two cats and if you had asked me four years ago, I would never have thought I could be so attached to a pet. Those two are such sweet little animals. The thought that something would happen to them is unbearable... :(

I hope things will get better for you and your cat...

I feel a bit pissed.
As you might know, I like to play a video game once in a while. Don't have (or take) much time for it lately, but I play "Skyrim", which is a beautiful game with a really nice soundtrack. I'm sure most of you would like it. Anyway, I decided to buy the soundtrack (which consists of four discs!) in March this year. Unfortunately, it's still not here. Of course I emailed a lot back and forth. First they said they had a manufacturing problem. Then it was a shipping problem, etc etc. And now, after eight months I still don't have what I paid for. Here in Holland we have several tv programmes (like "Radar" or "Kassa" or "Opgelicht") who contact such companies and make them do whatever they promised. I was wondering if one of you know of such tv programmes (or websites or whatever) in the USA that I can contact?

Scary time for many people in the north of the Netherlands, water rose quite quickly but fortunately it never rose too high.
The dikes kept under those conditions and our experience in water-management paid off. ;)

Exhausted.
Came back from France to the country where I currently study as an exchange student by train in a full compartment, so I didn't get much sleep. One of our comrades here is deceased in extremely brutal conditions this week-end, and today was our first reunion after this tragedy. The local police does its best to make sense out of it, but right now we are all left speechless.
My head aches a bit, which is more than normal after a day like this one.

I'm not the most badly affected here, but we're like one big family so it's hard for everyone. Won't say too much, just that she disappeared overnight while going to a party in a safe neighborhood, causing students to alarm the police the next morning. She was found by the riverbank within the hour. The hardest thing for us is that it was no accident. The question everybody ask themselves now is who and why.
I don't want to talk too much about it, but I'll keep you posted if any significant porgress is made. Police investigation is in progress as we speak, notably regarding missing evidence from the scene.

Thanks for the support. We're already working on it thanks to the social media.

Super concert by Dream Theater yesterday in Falconér, Copenhagen *horns*

They played three hours, with a 20-minute intermission. Probably the same setlist as you experienced at Heineken, Mad. A lotta stuff from Scenes, as it was the 15-year anniversary, particularly in the encore, and man, was it hot !

Cool visuals all way thru, also in the intermission. Nice play of light spirits at the end - did you notice that, Mad ?

DT are better than ever. Experience them live if you can, guys !

I had my new progfriend Lars Jesper along. We met at 3 pm - first time ever irl - and talked music the whole afternoon, had a few beers to smear the throat ;)

Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: Nicky007 on Mon, 2014-02-24, 14:11:39
Bupie, it was my second DT-concert. This one was a much bigger experience for me *horns*

There were four factors that made it better:

1) Two y/a, the concert was planned to be held in Forum, a reasonable hall for rock in Cop. Sadly Forum burned down a few days before the DT-concert. Instead it was held in Valbyhallen, which is more a sportshall, with concrete walls and stuff. The sound was not that great.

2) I had Ms 007 along. She was the one who turned me onto DT looong looong time ago - well, actually some ten y/a, just seems like this music has always been part'o'me  ;)  And some years before we met, her sons had turned _her_ onto DT; it was a bit of a thingy for musically interested youths in Sweden in the 90's. It was of course great to do this with the love of my life - both, one could almost say. But like most women, she's not into listening to good rock at the instrinsic volume ;-) where it becomes fully alive, so we were sitting on the backbenches. I felt like I was observing a spectacle at a distance, not close-up, as I was on Thursday. (And even less do I understand the people who use earplugs; why not go to a Waylon concert instead).

3) Mike II had become fully integrated. This guy is simply unbelievable!

4) The visuals were spellbinding this time. There was fantasy, nature, close-ups of the musicians, and a lot more. (Maybe they were good two years ago too, but I was at too big a distance, and I'm f*in near-sighted ....)

So yeah, this was a great experience, Bupie  *horns*

If you guys have any chance of catching DT on tour this time, well then, if yer a*es still can be moved from X-factor on TV ... ;)

So now we just (somehow) need to get Jonesy, Greenie, and Deenie back, as far as I'm concerned.

I really miss Deenie with all his goattales - rather than coattails ;D

Cap anyway comes and goes as he pleases - I guess a prerogative for Caps :D

So I attended the concerts with Cloudscape and Royal Hunt yesterday at Amager Bio in Copenhagen.

Both groups are pantheon with me - yes, I know, Paxi, but you know that I'm a music nerd.

Both concerts were super *horns*

I was sad about the audience tho. These two great groups deserve much bigger audiences. At the Cloudscape concert, there were about 80 people on the floor, and some further 50 people around, talking together. With RH, people spilled out on the floor, but still only some 200. And only few - yours truly incl. - got real into it.

With both groups I had a period problem: I like the early Cloudscape stuff best, their great tight melodic songs Aqua 275, Under Fire, Everyday Is Up To You (all from 2004), and Alagoas and Fragile (2008), and in any case, these are the songs I would expect work best live. They did play Under Fire, as their finishing number, and it was really formidable, but else they mainly played newer stuff, probably not the best strategy for gaining more fans.

Here's Cloudscape: Under Fire   www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhsWXgolKoc

During the intermission, I had a nice chat with Mike A, the singer of Cloudscape. I also bought their tour cd 8)

OK, then came Royal Hunt: I was happy to see that D.C. Cooper was at the mike. This guy is really one of the best. Even live his voice is so vivacious, expressive - and precise. He's great to watch too, does dance stunts and stuff, and has a wonderful contact with the audience. All kudos to D.C. *horns*

For some strange reason, il maestro André has written extensive atmospheric stuff for D.C. after D.C. got back, ending his 13-year hiatus with the group, stuff which harkens back to the 70's keyboard-borne prog, which I find lacks strong melody and rhythm. As you guys should know by now, my fave RH album is Collision Course (from 2008) - which I regard as up there with The Wall - and the albums before and after CC: Moving Target (1995), Paradox (1997, these two with D.C.), Fear (1999), The Mission (2001), The Watchers (2001), Eyewitness (2003), Paper Blood (2005) before CC, and X (2010) after CC.

They did perform two of my faves: The Mission, as a strong opening number, and Cold City Lights. But the stuff from the studio album Show Me How To Live (2011) leaves me a bit cold. I'm not either too hot on their current guitarist Jonas Larsen, particularly considering how successsful André has been in garnering very strong musicians thru all these years.

Here you can see D.C. doing Clown In The Mirror, from their 2011 tour, concert in Moscow   www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj349Cmd3I0

So yeah, a great experience *horns*

Hi guys,

I've been absent for quie some time. All this time I still occasionally visited just to read and find out what you guys are up to. The reason I stopped posting was that I felt that the only activity on the board was something like "NP: Artist A - Song B" without any additional information, like why you like it, what makes that song or album or artist special to you and I got kinda bored by that.

That was then, now I got triggered to post again by Nicky when I read his post about the DT-concert. I will try to become a bit more active in the Room again, although a lot of things in my life are about to change... You see, I got married last year and me and my wife are expecting a baby girl in about 6 weeks from now. To stay on topic, I feel great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now back to DT. I also went to see them last week and I share Nicky's view. It was the best performance of them I've ever seen. And that setlist! The Enemy Inside, The Shattered Fortress, On the Backs Of Angels, Enigma Machine, The Mirror, Lie, Scarred, Illumination Theory, Strange Déjà Vu, The Dance of Eternity... some pretty heavy songs!

It was a nice touch that they chose to dedicate the second set to Awake (20th anniversary) and SFAM (15th anniversary). I really forgot how great especially Scarred and The Dance of Eternity are. This tour also marks the first outing of Space Dye Vest and it stays fairly close to the original... Until near the end James sings the chorus in a higher register and a soaring guitarsolo follows.

Another highlight was Breaking All Illusions. What a song. I have no words to describe it. One of their best ever. John Petrucci shines during the whole gig, but especially in this song.

Man of the night however has to be Mike Mangini. I have to say that I'm really fond of Mike Portnoy, his musical endeavors and how he interacts with his fans. If you only look at playing the drums he's no slouch (far from that of course) but Mangini really is in a league of his own. He makes it look so easy... He has grown comfortable with the DT-material now and clearly enjoys himself a lot, trading smiles with the rest of the band all the time. A fun guy to watch, that's for sure.

That's it for now, I guess. Talk to you soon guys (I'll do my best... ;D)

Tom

Exactly, Tom, I feel the same.

It's rather facile, that sorta posting, ainit ? I often felt too: F* the Room, if they don't wanna spend more effort on me :-\

I do have to mention Paco tho as the one who kept the Room alive during these later years. Without his devoted posts, I would be long gone, for sure. So Thanx, Paxi - looks like stuff is happening here again now 8)

I am with you on this one : probably their greatest song of the XXIst century  *horns*

I have to say that I am a bit sad about your comment on the NP thing, though, and especially the further Nicky comment adding that he would have left the Room if not for PH, which I find rather unfair.

But that is your opinion and I can live with it.

Title: Re: How do you feel right now?
Post by: PH on Tue, 2014-02-25, 10:38:46
I agree with Bupie. Such a statement like Nicky's is a bit unfair. Nicky can be such a provocative old lady. ;)

Perhaps some are more 'loudmouthed' than others, but we should not forget that these others have a busy life outside of the Room.
Of course, I would also like to see more lenghty and indepth posts instead of "Artist A - Song B", but I don't think we should force people to tell more about it. Of course we can always ask about it and this often leads to more discussion.
I think Nicky and I are the ones with most time on our hands anyway (unemployed/low contract), so it's natural that we are most active. I don't expect everybody to write such lenghty epistles of biblical proportions.

For a time I was also bored with the Room. But this doesn't mean it's anyone's fault. And I don't think Tom meant to 'attack' people, he just observed a fact and gave his opinion of how he looked at it. It often simply means that other things are temporarily more interesting/important than the Room. Which is absolutely fine.

Well, I meant it. You guys have been a lazy lot in later years.

As you may have noticed, during the past year, I was away for periods of days, which was rather unusual for me.

But there is something about the Room that draws me back: It was in my early days of contemporary prog that I ran into Arena, and thus got into the Room. We have experienced a lot together, guys: shared great music, tipped each other, learned a lot from another, had a tremendous amount of fun, and always friendly with surprisingly little strain, unusual for an Internet site. And Cap has been amazing, not to forget - please bestow this guy his well-earned kudos, folks. So looks like the Room is quite stable (a stable for wild horses) ;)

Well, as far as I am concerned, I completely disagree.

However, PH gave some good reasons for laziness. In my case I could add :

- full time job ;
- four kids ;
- a partner that doesn't get that I spend so much time on the Web ;
- a hard time to find the right words/expressions since English is not my native language ;
- not being a musician that prevents me from an "authorized" opinion ;
- having VERY different thoughts than most of you about religion ...

But since I still consider that I have not been lazy at all, I don't look for reasons nor excuses. And I think that a short search on the forum would prove that most of the time I don't limit to the NP Band X - Album Y ... and that many times I don't get any reply to my writings. Which is OK with me for the reasons that PH exposed. But I think we already had this conversation before  :)

And by the way, the NP Band X - Album Y (or the song/album title game thread) is still a way to show that you are there and alive. So I think that it also helps to keep the Room alive in its own way. But I certainly can understand that someone looks for more.

The first three points are fully understandable, Bupie :)

Re 4, don't worry, as we have said before: as long as we can understand each other. On an international site, we must accept that not everybody is native speaker of English.

As long as you don't start singing for me ;)

Re 5, there is no "authorised" opinion.

It makes sense to talk about groups and artists that are for more advanced proggies, like CM & SW. In that respect I would say that you'r very advanced, Bupie :)

Re 6, don't worry about that either :)

If you wanna make François Hollande God, then fine by me ;D

That several of us have experienced. I guess we have to accept that if it's something we've talked about before, then there's a mute participation.

Otoh if it's something that we have not talked about before, then it is nice to get some response - honest response, of course.

Bupie, it's nothing personal. It really isn't. Paco actually explained it very well: I didn't mean to attack you, I just observed a fact and gave my opinion of how I look at it. You don't have to feel offended or anything, because I know what it's like to live a real life and all the efforts/energy it takes too so I can understand that one doesn't always have the time to post a long message on a messageboard somewhere on the internet.  And to be honest, in retrospect I think you're right. Maybe it's better to only post a NP than post nothing at all. Shall we be friends again? ;)

So I read all your comments and some of them give me a bad conscience about not posting lengthy posts... like it should be in the progressive scene. Is this a progressive forum, then...? Whatever. Mainly, I came to the conclusion that it's totally everybody's own decision to do it this way or another way. The time since I last heard an album from soup to nuts is something like 4 months and counting. I think I already mentioned that my taste is somewhat limited by now and I don't do music listening like I used to. That reflects in my posting(s). Only once a fortnight or so :/

When I started this forum, I wanted it to be a lively place mainly for ARENA fans, to talk about their impressions and feelings, and maybe about what other music there could be besides ARENA that fans might like. It turned out that only a tiny fraction of all ARENA fans found their way to this place, not to speak of the musicians themselves. After all, the ARENA fan crowd is a mirror of what the band itself obviously is, a part time project. Don't get me wrong, this is in no way an accusation - I mostly take the smallest of risks in my own life, too.

Luckily, a few people DID find their way to this place: you. Nowadays, the posts evolve around what you listen to and what you think about it, and it seldomly has anything to do with the original theme. Not a problem, everyone is happy, methinks. Could be more people, but the number of people willing to do what you (we?) do here, seems to be rather small. Bring more if you know any ;)

What I want to say is, whatever reason there might be that keeps you here or drives you away is totally legit. Even changing one's mind is. Informing the people in here of what goes on in one's mind is a nice luxury, not a duty... ;) The luxury we see in here is totally in the progressive spirit, methinks, so hail, keep it up, folks!

To give a direct hint on the thread subject: I once felt disappointed about the "success" of this forum. Lately, I'm rather proud of it.

Maybe a nutsoup. If you cook it long enuff. But not many people eat nutsoup.

Well, sometimes when I put on some H-Marillion, it becomes a bit of a soup in my brain, and I end up goin nuts. But there was something before the soup, this wasn't my original motivation, more like a hope. So the right sequence should be: hope -> soup -> nuts :D

I feel so tired. Exams and deadlines for university applications next year are all coming very quickly, so I have been inactive in the Room lately. Hopefully I'll make a proper comeback in two weeks when it's all over. Can't wait for Pendragon's new album, and very excited about The Road of Bones too!

Our whole holiday has been some sort of "Quest for Wifi". Well, not really, we've not been THAT obsessive. But when someone's found a free wifi spot, we were all trying to get our email and facebook stuff.
Other than that, it has been really nice: two weeks of internet absence. It makes you think of how dependant we actually are. "I'll look it up for you, oh wait a minute, there's no internet..." haha!

Well, obviously I wasn't more active since I vowed to try and be a bit more active back in February but real life got in the way... somewhat.  ;D

In April I became the father of a beautiful daughter called Isa. The first week after she was born was a bit difficult with her having to stay in the hospital for 6 days. That was pretty stressful. And then on my first Father's Day in June she had to be hospitalised again, now for 5 days, because she had suffered a urinary tract infection. But now she's almost 5 months old and she is doing great. She's laughing a lot and she seems to be a very happy baby most of the time.

I never imagined I would say this but I'm the king in changing diapers!  :P

Needless to say my life has turned upside down since Isa was born. But I love it and I cherish every minute, together with my wife. We're a family now! :) :) :)

Kind of tired. I somehow woke up two weeks ago with half of my face paralyzed and had to spend a week in hospital. I've been taking meds since which have some side effects and I had to start a week late at my new uni. I can move my  lips in an approximately normal way now, but my eye won't close properly. Doc said it would diappear completely within a few months without any lifelong physical damage. It's far from catastrophic, but I could've gone for a quieter beginning of my year here.

Haha yeah!  :D There's also Mr. Brightside, which has the same verse twice because Brandon Flowers was procrastinating. Yet they somehow landed Wembley last year. And people say I won't get anywhere if I keep on procrastinating.
Seriously though, the music is nice, and the writing has got a lot better.  ;)

Doing much better, thanks for asking! Well ok, it did not actually go out like that. Long story short, everything was almost back to normal, next thing I know the other half of my face ends up paralyzed (about a month later). It wasn't nearly as bad as the first time though, had to spend yet another week in hospital and get tested for various possible diseases, but since they found nothing they say it's "a frigore" (i.e. no apparent causes other than your own body messing with you for fun  ;D).
My lips are still a bit paralyzed I believe; I think the right side doesn't respond as well as it used to. I'll probably mention it to my doctor next time I see him. Had some other health problems since, but they're only minor and unrelated.

Upset. I'm saddened by the news I hear and express my sincere compassion to the victims' families. At the same time, I'm angry at the people who get things mixed up and see Muslims as threats and Islam as a religion of war. Can't we just not jump to conclusion? Can't we just accept there are good and bad people among Muslims, just like everywhere else? This act was one of hate and ignorance, and yet there are still people to condemn it with more violence and more ignorance. I guess it's just so much easier tearing each other apart rather than trying to understand. Makes me sick.

Bupie, you continue to invent new ways to confound me. First it was discarding Nostradamus, then it was choosing the wrong Angra albums, and now it's this :P

What the hell are you doing in Oz ?

Right now ? Listening to Royal Hunt  ;) A random pick from my Melbourne's Ikea-already-assembled-and-filled-but-still-to-be-put-in order CD shelf

Was it a Billy or a Gnedby shelf, Bupie?
And it's IKEA, all capital letters. An acronym of Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd.
Don't want to sound like a smartass but as an employee I just had to set straight this common mistake. ;)

I'm not feeling well. Got a thunderous head ache and my throat feels like sandpaper.

So I'm staying home today. Just got out of bed to (try to) eat something. But I'll probably get back into bed for the rest of the day... Listening to not too noisy music.

Have you listened to Collision Course yet ?

Until you do so, you don't know how good RH can get. This album is one of the great masterpieces of rock *horns*

Am I still the only Roomie who has listened properly to this album - sleepyheads ;)

Another great masterpiece that you guys would be listening to if you had any sense :P

I'm starting a FB Fan Group for this group and their till now only album - but what an album !!!

Just waiting for maestro Daniel Scrivener's biography of the group.

It screams to the heavens that this album should get out there *horns*

I only got a driving licence for motorcycles.

It was my intention to get the car one too, but stuff got in the way.

Will have to wait a bit longer. Annika and I are looking for a house out in the countryside of Skåne, so it would be useful if I too had a car license.

Okay this is weird:

Quote from: PH on Sun, 2013-11-24, 22:07:57
I feel a bit pissed.
As you might know, I like to play a video game once in a while. Don't have (or take) much time for it lately, but I play "Skyrim", which is a beautiful game with a really nice soundtrack. I'm sure most of you would like it. Anyway, I decided to buy the soundtrack (which consists of four discs!) in March this year. Unfortunately, it's still not here. Of course I emailed a lot back and forth. First they said they had a manufacturing problem. Then it was a shipping problem, etc etc. And now, after eight months I still don't have what I paid for. Here in Holland we have several tv programmes (like "Radar" or "Kassa" or "Opgelicht") who contact such companies and make them do whatever they promised. I was wondering if one of you know of such tv programmes (or websites or whatever) in the USA that I can contact?

I wrote this three years ago. There was no contact and no reply at all from this company.
Until last week.

And this is what they said to me:

"Hi Paco, Sorry for the late reply on getting back to you about your purchase. We were wondering if you still wanted the cd or if you would like a refund? If you do want the cd, all we need is your current mailing address. We apologize for how long you have had to wait for any communication. We know that there is no excuse for what you have been put through. Thank you for your patience."

Hahaha I can't believe this! After almost four years I'll probably get my purchased cd. What do you think about that?
And then there's people who go mad at us for illegal downloading...

Anyway, it has to be said: very very cool that they had the balls to actually contact me after so long. Really like that!

I understand how you feel, and I'm too very sad about these events.
Yesterday it happend again, makes me wonder when will it stop but at the same time I feel it's hypocritical that the western media is making such a big event out of this.
Such attacks, which most of the times are even worse than the attacks in Manchester, London or where ever in the western world, are almost daily routine in the middle east.
Remember that most of the victims of these terrorists attacks, are muslims.
But those attacks are considered as page-two news.
Don't get me wrong, what happend in the UK is dreadful, but not more dreadful because it happend in the UK. It happens everywhere in the world.  :'( :'( :'(

I'm just hoping they'll grant me the opportunity and give me the job... I need a change.

Disappointed that the Camel gig I was going to see yesterday got cancelled at the eleventh hour 😕
Due to health issues, hope Andy Latimer will recover soon and for a new date to see and hear Moonmadness!

How did the job application go Paco?

That's not good... :( I hope the issues aren't too serious. I was really into "The Snow Goose" a while ago. Wonderful music. Any albums you can recommend?

What a coincidence. As if you knew! Today I had the job interview and I think it went rather well. I always find it hard to 'sell myself'. And some of the questions were difficult to find out where the interviewer wanted to go. But I showed my knowledge of MS Excel and I hope that did the trick. There are thirteen other applicants, so wow... I hope I made an impression. And hopefully a good one...

That is a funny coincidence indeed 😊
Good to hear it went well and hope you get good news soon!

Not many details but I gathered it is a case of laryngitis and he will be on the mend. Hopefully the new date for the gig will be on a date that I can attend. Went to the pub instead with the friend I was going to the gig with and still had a good time, talked more than we could have done at the gig 😉 But it was not what we had set out for obviously 😕

Their first four albums are excellent (Camel, Mirage, Snow Goose and Moonmadness), they made many more including a lot of good ones based on what I read, but of those I only have Rajaz

It's looking good!

QuoteLast Tuesday unfortunately the show of Camel could not take place. In the meantime the singer is getting better and we want to thank you all for understanding and the wishes for him to get well. Meanwhile a new date has been set. The date of the Camel show is moved to Wednesday August 29th 2018.

Fingers crossed for the new job Paco. I also enjoy Harbour of Tears

Bummer... One of the other thirteen applicants is going to get the job. Got a call today that it wasn't me. I'm a bit disappointed, and I felt truly miserable for a few moments. But I'm good now. :) I'm sure there will be more chances in the future.

Tough luck Paco! But you gave it your best try and there was a lot of competition, better next time!!

Sad

The deaths of 2 greats today Stirling Moss who as my friend said 'turned his final corner doing 90'
And Tim Brooke Taylor who was in one of my favourite childhood comedies The Goodies.

Again I am feeling sad for all of the people in Netherlands, Belgium and Germany who have been affected by the horrendous weather. I do hope you are all safe and well.

Thanks Iggy, I'm okay. The problems are in the south, I'm living in the middle of The Netherlands.

For the first time, I might have gotten a glimpse of what it must feel like when a musician finds out that his work was stolen and/or reused. That a Facebook group carries the same name as this forum might be total coincidence, but ... actually, I don't think so. I don't own a copyright or anything to the name - but this simply feels cheap. Could have at least asked/informed us/me... or have I overseen/forgotten anything...?

I also wondered that. I'm a member of that Facebook group and thought that you were maybe one of the founders ;).

Oh wow, that sucks, Peter. Not very thoughtful of them, to say the least.


I was really upset by the (now old) news that David Longdon has had an accident and died. Big Big Train will never be the same again... :'(

I'm doing good!
Had some issues last months (Inlaws, my missus, myself) but things are getting better and better.
Today I'm off until 10pm. A four-day nightshift awaits.
I really like these shifts 'cos I'm more of a night/late guy. Mornings are horrendous.

I'm feeling.... Not good. :'(
My wife died a month ago and altho I'm trying to pick up the pieces, got two kids, it is sometimes hard.
I'm trying to be happy, I know my wife wanted it that way and I know it's only been a month but I feel sad.
There's really no way to describe my sadness...

That is devastating, so sorry to hear this, Maddox. I hope you find comfort in those around you and here in the room we are there for you.

Dear maddie, I wish you all the power that you need to get through this. It's a good stance to say that she wanted you to be brave. And please do yourself a favor: if need be, go seek for professional help! I know that it's frowned upon, but that's unimportant if it helps you.

Thanks for the kind words, boyz.
Three months on and it still sucks, obviously.
When I cry, it hurts more than hitting a concrete wall but it does, strangely, makes me feel better.
Little steps, can't do anything at once. We're gonna make it, but I wish the hurting would stop or at least be a bit manageble...
