    I was just chiding you dude. :P It was either that or be a dullard by correcting your grammar (it's "taught" not "teached"), and that'd be no fun.

    I can't tell if Yngwie Malmsteen's Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra is awesome, cheesy as hell, terrible, amazing, ridiculous, epic, or some crazy combination thereof.

    I almost took a job at the all girls school next door to me when I was looking for a job. Then I considered the daily struggle that it would be for me to not take advantage of one of the older (read: legal) girls one night if I ran into them at a bar. See, the real problem wouldn't be that I'd just scored. The problem would be that when I kicked her out of my apartment in the morning and never wanted to speak to her again, she'd probably tell her parents and get me fired. That sort of thing could really leave a black mark on your professional record.

    I respect the talent that the man has but DEAR GOD i think his stuff is terrible. Like unforgivably bad.
    We were looking at some of his stuff in college today and I said that I thought he had a rather womanly face. To which the metal dudes in my class were utterly astounded and jumped in to defend his manlyness!

    But it has to be said, he wears damn nice boots.

    Yeah, just stick to hanging around outside the school like a creep. Companies don't care about your street rep anyways.

    Sounds like you UNLEASHED THE FUCKING FURY! :lol:

    But yeah, most of his stuff seems to be only enjoyable on a "lol 80's" irony level, but this- an entire orchestra concerto with 80's shredding as the centerpiece- I have to admit I am charmed by the audacious ludicrousness of it all.

    He certainly does have an interesting way of blowing people's honest and helpful criticisms off, I'll give him that. Its like I want to be upset with him, but he makes me chuckle. The words "flower child" come to mind.

    i was meeting up with my brother and some old freinds from home. Oh, and my buddy Frank Stockton introduced me to James Jean, at Tomer Hanuka's book signing. Yeah. Talk about mind explosion man.

    I think im withdrawling from AIB next year though. Im gunna take a year or two off, but I am applying to Cooper Union on a whim just to see what will happen. Might try Art Center, but I'm not sure about moving to Pasadena.

    Oh, neato. I'm pretty fond of James Jean's artwork. I have a cool portfolio type thing of his work. Cooper Union is really top notch, I looked into it four years ago. But the likelihood of getting in there is slim-to-none. The art department for CU is very small, and very limited in terms of how many new students they accept. It's also far more fine arts oriented. Unless they made some huge curriculum turnaround in the past few years.

    Se the great thing now is that I work in Washington Mall so if I want to see all those silly little girls in their little uniforms I just have to walk downstairs for a smoke or a candy bar or something at about 3:30. However, I'm sporting a beard these days so they probably look at me like a dirty old man.

    Time to elaborate on my story, since I'm no longer at work:

    Back in college I used to work in a computer lab, one time this professor of mine comes around with his lap top and asks me to help him find some music files he'd just ripped from a CD. We sit together and as I'm digging through folders I accidentally stumble across his porn folder.

    But it's not just any porn! I mean, when you work in a college computer lab you see things that make you wonder about how the human body can bend that way... this was something waaaaay out there! All of a sudden the screen was filled with thumbnail images of women rubbing ducks on each other and puppies licking icecream off parts where there shouldn't be icecream.

    All the while I was thinking "Lord, how will I get out of this one" cuz the guy is right there next to me. He knows I've seen his porn... he's looking at me looking at his porn! Mind you, I am shocked and horrified by this. All of a sudden, I hear a printer jam across the room. I jumped out of the chair like a gazelle and pretend to fix the printer.

    He picks up his lap top and we never spoke about it again.

    I used to have a blog with all these horror stories, like the time when this one girl gave me a jump drive with her naked pictures on it... or when I met this girl... who was really hot... and then turned out to be a guy I'd studied with some years before.

    Ohhhh College!

    I haven't left my room in years, so my college experiences are also lack luster, even when I used to live on campus. I've never really been aware of any of the goings on beyond these four walls. I don't go out, other than to run the occasional errand, or to go to class. I don't socialize. And the only times that I voluntarily go outside is when its raining or snowing, which is when everybody else stays inside.


    EDIT: I swear, this Gillian Welch singer has stolen my proverbial soul. Her voice is simply enchanting to me...

    I'm in a similar situation, living off campus (commute is about 45 min.) my work all being on the computer and the cost of gas makes it easy to excuse not going out.

    Fortunately I made the good decision to join my school's activity board which keeps me in the know a bit about the activities going on and I do all the activity promotional material. I'm sort of doing everything in reverse because I will probably be moving on (or very near to) campus end of my junior or my senior year. Luckily I'm a pretty chill guy and its not difficult for me to get to know people but if its in your interest - make an excuse to get out for something even something small where you can go out once a week with friends or something is a great thing for your mental health.

    During my internship in VA, where I really didn't know anyone and I didn't have the luxury of a campus for activities me and some other interns and coworkers went to a bar and did trivia every Wednesday, it sounds kinda dumb but when your in a town with nothing really going on its a great thing to get out and socialize. Before last January (my years of WoW) I was pretty secluded and rarely went out at all except to go to another friends house where we played more wow. You don't even realize how much it affects your until after you start really going out and doing stuff.

    You guys should try meetup.com they have groups for all kinds of crap. I started playing soccer with some dudes from there and most of them are pretty cool. It's a little awkward meeting people "from the internet" for me at least but since it's kinda awkward for everyone its not a big deal.

    I've never been much of a social butterfly, and that's putting it lightly. I have a host of social issues which prevent me from even having a modest conversation with just about anyone. There's the social anxiety, the reclusiveness (apparently not a word, but fuck it), my natural anti-social nature, and the misanthropy which has made a huge comeback recently (Personally, I blame working in customer services for that). The only "new people" that I'd actually be willing to meet, would be some of the kind folks here at the PA:AC. That's about the extent of it. Everyone else can stay fucking strangers for all I care.

    EDIT: Bleh, I kill every conversation I take part in...

    You think too much on what others think. You need to lay back man, I'm still to this day just like that. I'll just catch myself thinking about what others think and stop thinking. (Yeah, that made no sense but you get what I mean don't you?)

    Not really...I never stop thinking, regardless of whether its me whose thinking of me, or me whose thinking of what others think about me, or my thinking. I think that sounds right. My mind never really knows when to shut the fuck up, until its too late. Also, I think other people think to much. They should shut the fuck up too. But that's just what I think...


    ...I'm going back to getting trashed now.

    Hahah! I'm 26 year old. However, it is a bit perverted for me to hang around the school and try to pick up students. That's why I make home videos of it and run a successful website as a supplemental income.

    Speaking of which, Iruka, when are you going to come visit me in Bermuda? :winky:
