I disagree. I wish I had more experiences and opportunities to do more things when I was younger. I'm 24 and almost 25... I feel old and I regret not doing a lot of things. When people are young, they have more time to have fun and experience life. I can't speak on behalf of everyone else, but like I mentioned before, I feel old and I have to take life seriously and a lot of my free time is gone. :(


NF: Old.

I agree with you and CoT. I see what rahvin pointed at, but still it is a shame people are betrayed for their youth because of overprotective parents. One can still respect the parents and work for school, but also try out a lot of things.

Yes, it´s true you can do a lot of things later, and I have to say that I enjoy many activities more, because I have more freedom and also just can go abroad or whatever for a gig; aswell I think that mostly now I like "better" bands than before, so it´s more worth seeing them.

But if you are a real music freak then it hurts you that you can´t go see a band right now, because also you (hyena) know well that bands change musically, their line-up can change or maybe the don´t exist anymore in ten years. I for my, I can live with having missed many gigs but not seeing Depeche Mode in around 1990-1993-phase (let´s not talk about even earlier) simply annoys me everytime I think about it. I could not see them before 1998, and then of course the playlist and the venues changed, also the band history. So it´s never the same :cry:



PS: rahvin, the ticket arrived today :wave:
 
I agree. There's nothing wrong going to metal concerts. Having a mother that is over protective does more harm to the child than good.
 
all of your points are very sensible. i want to make one further statement: from what steve says, his mom doesn't want to let him go to shows because they collide with her religious beliefs. now, i've pondered this for years, from the first day my father told me that i shouldn't wear a bad religion tshirt around the house. this was about 10 years ago so i think i've thought long enough. :p

anywhoo, the whole point is: imagine you feel really strongly about something. you would be puzzled by your kids not sharing your principles. i mean - i can relate to, say, going into dictator mode if i happened to have children who didn't understand the importance of education and dicked around instead of studying. religion poses a further problem, as in most parents who feel strongly about religion also think they have a duty to instill the same beliefs in their children, and they feel inadequate and morally guilty if they fail to make you see what they consider to be the truth.

now, i won my br t-shirt war, and my father is not in the group of people who think they're failing God if his children don't follow the rules of catholicism now: but when my bro and me were younger, he felt he had the responsibiliy to instruct us to follow what he thought to be the right path. he's also a very reasonable person, open to discussion and mostly loath of hot-tempered exchanges; i understand that steve's mother is, on the other hand, more prone to emotional arguments, which is something that i would personally find as troubling as he does.

tolerance and respect, which i really hold very dear in such and other matters, make me think that parents have every right to try and keep their children close to what they deem to be life-saving moral values. now, i prefer discussion to prohibition and example to punishment, but i think that it's also important, like rahvin says, to be able to recognize hierarchies.

and steve - i really like you and don't want to offend you, but you were born in april 1988, if i understand correctly. you're 15, for bu's sake. you have a fondness towards explosions and bongs. i'm not that surprised that your mom is trying to force jesus upon you and keep you away from extreme environments. i can't even tell you to move out with your monthly $1000 (also, you say you don't have to etc, but remember that passing your classes in the end will only benefit you, not your mom), because that's illegal. i believe there's a reason for this.
 
alive and ok and in rome. the trip was pretty uneventful, yet quite exhausting. the roundish object i carried all the way to the capital had three main effects on the journey: 1. she kept complaining about the fact that i had been instructed to take her to a different place than her very doorstep (a party), after driving her around for the whole peninsula at night for free. oh woe is me. 2. she reminded me, with her bitching attitude, of someone i met last summer, and made me wish a completely different american would be sitting beside me in my car. 3. she risked compromising the vehicle's balance.

we arrived to the party at around 2am, and there was no trace of evil incarnate (tm). it seems her demise might be near, which is good and puts hyena in a jolly mood that for some reasons last night implied she would talk and talk about disturbing former girlfriends of mine. :guh:

at 4am hyena and i were home. she's sleeping now, and i myself managed to take a 2 hours nap. now i'm abusing her internet connection for some unspecified reason.
*looks around searching for someone, anyone*
 
@nick: last night hyena told me if i connected to any instant messenger i'd be instantly bugged by a girl (from my town) who hits on me every time i meet her and knows i'm here now, so there's no way in hell i'm going through this. i have a feeling she might have meant you, though the "living in the same town" detail doesn't fit. :p

it seems i have to wake hyena up in about 2 hours, so i suppose afterwards you two can get all hardcore, if i lock myself in the bathroom. :p
 
news from the centre of the roman empire.
hyena's doing the dishes from our solitary lunch while i take care of a compilation of punk songs she has to have ready for a friend of hers by tonite. i know she secretly hopes to have her beloved listen to it so i'm taking great care not to mess up anything. :p

there's gonna be a rather interesting dinner at this place tonight, and it's rumoured to be mexican. actually, we're spreading this rumour so thanatos will maybe drop by. ;) as soon as the rains have stopped we'd go buy food, then tidy up the place and play the perfect hosts. i like the role of perfect parasite better, but oh well. i think hyena will log in in a while to change her signature temporarily. just, you know, in case. :rolleyes:
 
NF: Alert. I just woke up from a normal 8 hour sleep. Now I'm ready to do some posting and finish up my To Do: list.
 
@Gtranquillity: I hope things work out for you. :)

It is indeed one of the things that hurt most :(
i perfectly understand the fact that you can't just "let go" so i hope it's just a particular moment for this person like fireangel said before, people sometimes don't realize how much also simple things can hurt.
as i said before a similar thing happened to me, i insisted, i finally managed to talk to this person (my bestfriend at that time) but didn't really get a good explanation, we were friend again then but that just helped to make me understand every minute more that this person was a complete idiot

I don´t like this "now I am offended but I won´t tell you why"-issues. I think when someone feels you made a mistake of what kind so-ever, he/she should tell, possibly neutral or explaining, so that you know what is going on and have a chance to react. I mean, this should also be in the interest of the other person.
When I feel someone behaved wrong to me, and it is an important person to me, I try to tell, not the way of "you did everything wrong" but rather, how I feel about this. So there you leave the other person a way out, have a chance to clear out possible misunderstandings and there is the possibility of finding out the reason, discussing it and solving it. I mean, in the end it is important for both to solve it, so you shouldn´t be too evil, because that destroys friendship.

It was right that you asked for explanation, and if you don´t get one, then maybe think about what this person means to you. And when you asked for explanation several times and don´t get one, then this simply sucks. Then you also have the right to be angry. A friend shouldn´t behave like a moron to other friends, even if there was something wrong, because, as stated above, I would assume within a friendship problems want to be solved.

i couldn't agree more (and i'm replying to this just now cause i'm quite retarded today). if i'm upset because of something with someone i just tell, i'm never angry or aggressive or i ignore friends, and i'd like it if the same would be done with me, but most of the people prefer other ways...i never understood why people can't be clear, about everything, not only these thigs..
well, i'm going out of topic :s

NF: headachey and lightheaded, but i'm about to go out and this should be a nice evening :)
 
NF: I made up a little association line for the worshipper ;)
Alexi Laiho (git) and Janne Warman (keys) (Wirman originally) play together in Children Of Bodom. Janne´s younger brother, Antti (git), founded Craydawn (remember the guy who posted here recently? But I dunno who of those was it). [sidenote: Of Craydawn I knew best their former singer Luis, who is now bassist in Pramee] Craydawn´s keyboarder, Vili Ollila, got some time ago the job in Tunnelvision, too, when the former keyboarder quit. In that band, he is together with Lauri Porra (b). Lauri also has the bass-duties in Sinergy. One of Sinergy´s guitarists is - Alexi Laiho :loco:
