Then good for ya mate! :) - It's totally a matter of preference anyway.

I really almost don't go to metal concerts anymore, and became so keen on classical music performances instead. So I guess that explains my standpoint. I'm not 'cool' anymore. lol

it is, it is :D :kickass:

I need to attend more classical music performances. Every time i go see the symphony I have the time of my life, but i don't go enough.

wang.
 
Good concert : I cannot remember which way is up, what that ringing is in my ears, or why my chin is bleeding. But I can remember the epic obliteration of sound that caused these things. This applies to classical and theater as well.
 
Lmao :lol:
Well I have to say no. For me a "fuckin' awesome concert" happens when you go watch some really awesome music played by really awesome musicians.
No need for anyone to bleed/piss blood, or to suffer from self-inflicted neck exhaustion.
Well, I've never bled or pissed blood. And it's not self-inflicted neck exhaustion - the band should force me to bang my head, and give me no choice in the matter.

If I don't have a bangover the next day, I think the band didn't do their job. :lol:

And hey Ken/Charis/Iced Dog (I think?).... http://grrm.livejournal.com GO GO GO!
HBO has given the production order for ASoIaF. The pilot's going to be filmed!!
 
Giant +2 as well.

They're probably the most powerful area of research in modern medicine and have to potential to cure many (Most?) of the most common diseases. The people in power who made it illegal should be jailed and tried for murder (Since it's not a crime to be stupid).
 
I'm all for stem cells, but quite against simply harvesting embryos. A great thing that came from Bush's work is the admission of other sources to harvest stem cells rather than from embryo sources.

I have other interests for it as well - the wife of my best friend who died last year is paraplegic after an accident in high school (riding on the hood of a moving car and falling under the car, severing her spine) can benefit from cord regrowth via stem cells. I don't know that she's all that interested in doing that though.
 
^All that stuff FTW

I've got my Junior Recital tomorrow evening...I would say "wish me luck", but I suppose if I were relying on luck then I wouldn't really be ready for this!
 
Good luck, Drew!:)

Can I ask all of you guys/girls who are in college, or just graduated, a question?

I started school about 4 months ago and something about being here is making me question why I'm even here. To put it bluntly and honestly, these past few months have been among the most miserable and frustrating times of my life. While I have met a few really nice people on my floor, whom I socialize with a good bit, I feel extremely isolated from every person around me because I have never met anyone that has anything whatsoever in common with me. I don't like sports, drinking, buying shit at the mall etc. I'm starting to "hate" people and that's really begining to worry to me a lot because I don't want to think like that, but I can't help it.

All of this seems to have completely sucked the life out of me. I have no motivation for anything. I have barely touched my guitar in months and all of the interest in math that I had prior to coming here is all but gone.

Is this normal? I thought all of this would get better after some time here, but I'm getting so neurotic, I have canker sores covering the inside of my mouth constantly (I don't know why, but I get them very bad when I'm nervous).

Sorry of this comes off as whiny/bitchy, but I'm really starting to part with my sanity.:erk:
