Fall

Lets have a look here... Some money. Say, about a grand or two. :D Then I'll have enough to do up my car, and get it road worthy... actually, alot more than road worthy, but anyway... Clothes. I have so many clothes right now, I wouldn't be able to wear them all if you gave me half a year. But there's a heap of new clothes that I haven't got. I want them. Now. A house.... what can I say?

My main genre in which I tend to follow and look for good music in, is Rock, alternative, soft, and hard. The more "noisier" side of rock, mostly Metal, I find it hard to find good music in there, though I have enjoyed some of the music, and still do. The thing is, I tend to like Rap, or Hip-Hop, or R&B, aswell. Though to no extent can I compare my liking for this genre, to my following of Rock. See, I don't even know the difference between those three types I mentioned. I know they're all fast-talking, though that's about it. I tend to go for the rap-style music that has a beat to it, pr a rythmn, and a story that has some relation to me. For example, [b]8Mile - Eminem[/b], that song has a consistant beat, a rythmn, and a story, flow. The song is more serious tuned than the happy-go-lucky themed, it has a serious side, a depressing side... a side to which I can relate to very, very well. This is what I look for in music. Themes, stories, flows, in which I can relate to very well, and the music to which suits the theme, that has a beat, or a rythmn, or a flow, or all three. I find that I can get this alot more in Rock, the rythm and flow is always there, the story is always there, and there's the songs and music that go together, that create a theme to which I can very quickly relate to and listen to, as if I were looking at my own life. Rap has the stories, but it's harder for me to pick up the tune, beats, flows, in that music. I'd much rather strong-sounding music, leaning over the more seriousside of things, to a song, rather than "bump, cleak, bump, cleak" and a whole lot of yelling; that's what alot of rap songs have a impression of, to me. As for other types of genres; dance, I usually like. Most songs I ever listen to, classified as dance, have a strong-sounding rythmn, and are serious. Electro, techno, the punk style, the melodies, the pop, the boy-bands, and such, I really can't have a view on. Punk, is alright. It's got a rock sound to it... in other words, a flow to which I can pick up. Though it's not all serious, themed, or rythmic. As you might notice, the town I live in is very much divided by the "rappers" and the "rockheads". Rockheads either hate the Rappers, or don't have a say on it... same goes vice versa. It's a very basic rock to land on. And there's not really anything here that will change that. The music shops, the radio stations, the clubs... are all controlled by this. You'd never hear a song, that has never been played on the radio before, played in a club. That is a big NO WAY. I will always follow rock, as it's my style. I never grew up with it, if anything, I grew up with more rap music than rock music. Though I've found what I like in rock-type music, and that's what I stick to, as it's never gone away from me. I will always have a slight weakness to the rap-style music I hear, though, as there's some very good music in this genre that I really do like, that have a flow I can pick up, and keep with. A story, a rythmn. I haven't heard alot of the other types of music. I like the drums. I like the bass. I like the amplified guitars. I like the singing, that tells the story. I like the serious, deppressing theme. This is all in the rock-type of music, that [i]I[/i] listen too. Not all rock music is seriously themed... most of [i]my[/i] type though, that [i]I[/i] listen to, is. Don't get me wrong, I like alot of the "happy" themed music too, alot of it. I mean alot. hough most of the happy themed music I like, is rock. There's only a couple of other "happy" themed songs, or music, that I've come across, and can actually like and pick up a flow on, that isn't rock-genred.

[b]Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes[/b] (see sig.. ;)): Brings me back on how things used to be. [b]Element Eighty- SLACKjaw[/b]: Nice. Very nice. Perfect song for the two relationships I've had, that broke in half right in front of me. The first one tore me apart, and I just watched it happen, right in front of my own eyes. The second one... tore me apart because it happened again. I just watched it slip away... right in front of me... [b]Petey Pablo - Raise Up[/b]: ...when things aren't going my way, this song is it. How things are now. [b]E-40 [i]feat.[/i] Petey Pablo - Rep Yo City[/b]: ...exactly the same as the song above; how things are now. [b]Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away[/b]: ...pretty much, my attitude towards everything right now. [b]Marilyn Manson - Coma White[/b]: ...relationships... again. That's the main lot.... there's more, from [b]Metallica, Manson, Eminem[/b] (8Mile, Hailie's Song... great song for me)[b],[/b] and there's this one song, [b]Eminem, Obie Trice, DMX - Go To Sleep[/b], love it, just reminds me of a lot of things that's happened recently. [b]Sevendust - Live Again[/b], I can relate to that, mostly past events, though aswell as present. And [b]Floods - Pantera[/b], the damn guitar parts in it, in the middle and at the end, brings back the attitudes I used to have towards everything. As you can see, I've got alot of music that I can relate to.

Eh... usually, I get to sleep at about four in the morning, only because I've got six weeks off from school because of Christmas, and I'm not working very much at all for some reason. Usually, in the school terms, I get to sleep at about eleven or twelve at night, and have to be up by seven that morning. We live out of town see, and it takes a while to get into town and get to school. Though my sleeping patterns aren't all that bad, if you ask me. Maybe a bit too late at night, as the sun starts rising here at around four-thirty. Though I can change from a long sleeping pattern, say about twelve, thirteen hours of sleep every night, to the next night having only five or six hours sleep, and it won't affect me the slightest. That's what I like. :smoke:

This guy sounds like he is way over-protective. I mean... wearing baggy clothes? Spiked hair? He even attends the parties his kids go to. If you ask me, that's going too far. It sounds like he's kids have no privacy under him. KiDs need privacy. And he's not giving that to them. ...I wouldn't listen to this. It's a load of ****.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Bloodsin [/i] [B]Because of the "Rolleyes" smilies. They are the cause of so much death :p Joking aside, There's really no need to live when we're all going to die anyway. Why go on? So in fifty years you can look back and say "What fun!" as your flesh rots where you stand. The only reason I live is to enhance my spirt. [/B][/QUOTE] That's a very sad way to look onto life, buddy. It's not just you who has "no need to live" and is going to "die anyway". If this is the way you look at it, you're better off to die now. We all live life the same. And with that, some have different views than others. And that's what makes it worth living. With no fun to have, no lines to cross, no fears to face, [i]then[/i] life isn't worth living. And that's exactly what you're doing; making your life have nothing; making it fearless. Sure, live to enhance your spirit. But that won't work if you can't enhance your life. My life, is my life. I've had my ups and downs, and my good times and my bad times. Just take it as it goes. I'm enjoying life.

Nope. Ever since I've had the e-mail address I've got now, with Hotmail (whooohh...), I've had no junk-mail what-so-ever. And I have absolutely no idea why. I'm signed up to so many mailing-lists, fan-clubs, etc, I can't count them all, and I've only ever had one junk-mail item sent to my address... and to that, I actually read it and took some interest. ...yep, and my "Junk-Mail" folder is empty... :smoke:

A packet of cigerettes... a screw holder... a pen ink-refiller... They're all kinda weird presents if you ask me. I only ended up getting two of them. The pack of cigerettes and the screw holder. As for a pen ink-refiller... I'd be buggered if I can find one.

I BMX nearly every day, it's part of my everyday life. I couldn't live without my bike. I couldn't go for a day without going for a cruise around town. I'm not into the real "extreme" stuff, though I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, some of which I went through hell to master. I used to skateboard quite a bit, though I liked BMXing too much... skateboarding just grew away from me. I still have my skateboard up on the wall... heh, hasn't been used for atleast half a year.

When I'm eighteen, I'm having a party. The usual... you know, the grog, the smokes, the girls, the cars, the mates... ...I don't expect any gifts or anything... all I'm doin' is throwing a party, just something to do. I'll probably have a party when I'm sixteen too, anyway. But that won't stop me from having a party two years later. ...I'll also be able to drive, buy cigarettes legally, etc. Just more easier for me to get along. I can't see it as a life-changing event, though I'm not going to let it pass buy and nothing happen, I'm going to do something when I turn eighteen... most probably the party. :smoke:

Last Christmas, wasn't a very happy one for me. Two weeks before December 25, I was kicked out of the house, though half of that was my fault. I was back by Christmas Eve, though it took a while to get back to normal. Anyway, that memory has stuck with me ever since, and whenever I am fighting, arguing, whatever, with my mum and dad, I just have to think of that and I'll stop right away. It was alright, as in, [i]I[/i] liked it, the lifestyle, of being on my own, though I now know how much a actually [i]do[/i] need my parents. That's the most vivid image I have of Christmas. Yeah, not a happy one, but I can't help that. All my happy ones are... winning the footy grand final... or going for a ride down the street... yeah... I can't say I have a happy memory of Christmas that's worth mentioning.

I'm from Dubbo, NSW. Geez, there's a fair few more people on the boards, from Australia, than what I thought before. To be plain. Dubbo is a total wreck. Seriously, if you haven't had a nightmare before, you'd soon have one after visiting Dubbo. Don't ever come here. ...anyway, take this advice; don't take my advice.

That craze, here, is like the Pokémon craze was a while ago. Everyone wears them, and if you see someone not, they're instantly a "nerd" or somethin'. I've worn them before, and right now I've got two on my wrist, but only 'cause everyone else does, you see. I don't want to be left out. :smoke:

Wind. It can make things very hard at times, for example, wind is a vital attribute of cyclones, tornadoes, typhoons, and the like. Just think, it has two sides. Without air, there'd be no wind, so no cyclones, etc. But without air, we couldn't live. So wind has both a good and bad side to it. ....there's no particular reason why I like wind as my favourite element, just the fact that it can cause alot of bad damage, sounds good..

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by MarkM [/i] [B]Hummph...you must live very close to me, seeing that the school is right down the street form me... [/B][/QUOTE]There's a school wth exactly the same name here in Dubbo, near the central district. So I'm guessing there's a few schools overseas with that same name.

Haha. Compared to those, my dad's job is nothing. ...well, actually, the pay's alright, but [i]he[/i] does nothing. He gets around half a hundred grand a year, for sitting in an office watching computer monitors trained on the Lucas Downer Tele-Communications Department building, inside. He's job is to make sure all the jointers (employeeswho do the practical stuff) and contractors (employees who travel country-wide to do all the practical stuff) are doing their job when inside that particular building. He's known as a Supervisor. He's supplied a Toyota Hilux ute, which is good for the travelling he does, [i]whenever[/i] he does. He doesn't leave town much, though when he does, it's usually over the other side of Australia, and he's gone for about a month. He's employed by Lucas Downer, now called Downer, or Lucas, I think. Basically, he works for a tele-communications company based in Dubbo, this craphole I'm living in. They are like Telstra, except located in a more remote spot in Australia, and not internationally known, as of yet. They are pretty much one whole big contractor [i]for[/i] Telstra. They do all the rough and dirty stuff, that Telstra doesn't. And mum does nothing. :smoke:

I had that problem. Though I can't really help you. Put your ear to the console and close the disc tray, or open it, whatever, and see if you can hear any abnormal noises. I did this, and I heard a grinding noise, like something scraping the side of it. It could also be the eject button. I didn't fix it myself though, I sent it in to an electronics shop here and they fixed it for $10. Nice.

"Hate" is a very strong word. aswell is "Love". Though I'm going to stick by me saying "hate" is so strong, as there's alot of it in my family. The family in my household at the moment, is very hectic, sometimes just hate all together. Not everyone gets on with everyone, and I have to say, I don't get along with alot of people. This is including people in my family, in my household. I'm having a hard time at the moment getting along with my two brothers, and I've always argued forever and tomorrow with my father. My mother, I hardly ever see, though when I do, it's never with anyone else in my family, she's probably the only person in my family I like to a certain extent -we have alot in common when compared. Support ain't a very big role in my family, there's been alot of backstabbing and so on. I'm not getting into that. At the same time, there's some love, though not very much of it. A rare sight to see, I often have to feel it or even immagine it. My family used to be something I could come home to. Now, I don't want to come home to it.

How can someone pull a sharp object towards themselves, and draw blood by piercing it into their own skin. The thought of that, just makes me cringe. It's right, pain does release anger. Though pain isn't the only way. Causing pain to yourself isn't right. Cutting youself isn't right. Just because you get angry or emotional over something, you're taking it out on yourself. Nah. Pain releases anger, right. That don't mean the pain has to be on you. Get a punching bag, a mattress, something that you can cause damage to, whatever. And punch the **** out of it. Kick the **** out of it. That would cause pain to any living thing on this planet. It won't hurt anything to a real-life extent, though it'd be the same as if it was. Smashing someone to nothing in a fight, satasfies the one that comes out on top, because he caused pain on the other. Snappin' him in the crib a couple o' hundred times, would sure cause pain to him aswell, no doubt. Why not do that to something that won't affect anything in real-life? This is where the punching bag comes in. Blades, knives, the crap like that, shouldn't even come near the human body. Anything that can kill... anything sharp, the like. Ain't the way to go. Drawing blood from yourself isn't normal. There's more ways out of emotional distress and anger, than taking down yourself with it.

Ignoring people, who I used to be really close friends with. :drunk: It's not quite a "good" guilty pleasure, as it usually brings alot of downside on me. Though it's happened a few times. It gives me a flow.

Whether stereo-types are total **** to people, or good for people, they're not goin' to go away. Theyre always going to be there. You're either in, or out. Not that it matters to the person that you are, it only gives others the "complete" image of you. Which is usually always wrong. Preps around here, go by the name of "Boys" or "Fellas", as the girls in the groups aren't really taken into account with the name. Every one of them wear the expensive stuff when out of school. Not always in school. They've got the attitude, like it's nothing new, it's just grown into them. Either that, or they were bron with it. The people who hate them, are the ones that aren't in the group. Which is probably the case nearly everywhere. I've got nothing against them, I've got mates that are in the groups, and some that aren't quite. Though I'm well known around the school, I'm not a "prep". Basically, they're completely the opposite here, compared to the way it is as most people here are describing them.

At the moment, out of all the mixed burnt CDs that I have lying around my room, the one I listen to every night is as follows: Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love Marilyn Manson - Coma White Metallica - The Memory Remains Metallica - Nothing Else Matters Metallica - Bleeding Me Metallica - Enter Sandman Maroon 5 - Harder To Breathe Sick Shift - Drug Staind - Outside Jagged Edge - All Out Of Love Seether - Fine Again Everlast - What It's Like Motorhead - The Game Finger Eleven - Slow Chemical I tend to like the rock sound to music more than the slow fast kind of sound, though there are a few slow moving songs on that CD. As you can see, none of the songs on there are rap, I can't listen to rap music while going to sleep. Everlast - What It's Like, is probably the closest you'll ever get me to listening to rap. I don't classify that song as rap though, it's got great music in the background, and the lyrics suit it.

I'll probably purchase it. I've got most of his albums, and I still listen to some them. I really liked "Bounce", had some great music on there. I haven't heard anything of this new album, though when it's released, I'll do my best to atleast hear a bit of it.

A while back, a parental control program installed on my previous computer system would have been a total pain in the *** for me. No, I wasn't always a goody boy, I liked to look at stuff and get into the crap everyone thought was cool, and obviously wasn't something that was too nice. Soon my parents [i]did[/i] find some numbers on the phone bill frm those "sex dialers" you get without even knowing, and they went off. They cancelled the internet connection, and barred me from the computer. Though... as DeathKnight said, they soon found out that there are [i]other[/i] things that I can get up to. I must admit, some of those thing were alot worse than what I was doing on-line. For my age, anyway. I've grown up now, though, and they know it. They try not to put that much control over me anymore... though they still get damn up-tight when they catch me doing something they don't like. They haven't installed any parental control programs on my computer. But they have on Austar (cable-tv), to block the Adults Only Channel. ...feh. It's not like I'd watch that anyway.. :rolleyes: I don't do anything stupid nowadays. No more "porno" and the like, nope. I've grown up. ;)
