Scary Artistic Thread

@nevershine: come on, i didn't mean any offence, besides, i like potatoes very much :)
it's just a bit weird that you(?) eat potatoes and something every day, to me it'd be as if i ate pasta twice a day, everyday... the only thought of it makes me :ill:

@zeanra: as far as i've seen, hernekeitto should be a soup/stew with green peas and pork meat, while mämmi... kinda "dark brown porridge made of water and sweetened rye malt" which is served for dessert. please correct me if i'm wrong :)
now, i'd surely like the first but i don't know what to think of the second recipe... guess i'll have to taste it ;)

To clarify a bit... I was partially kidding. Potatoes are somekind of Finnish national food. I wrote a thread somewhere (can't remember) about potatoes and how much they make me sick... I overreacted of course. But sometimes... sometimes it's just too much for me :cry: And I can't take it anymore. POTATOES SUCK!!!

Yes, and we virtually always have polar bear meat and whale fluid sauce with potatoes. Polar bears do live in the cities here and roam around the streets. We hunt them down with our bare hands. It's the traditional Finnish initiation rite for males in the age of 14 to take all your clothes off, roll in a pond of mud to get a camouflage, have your hands tied behind your back and go wrestle a pack of polar bears in a middle of the woods at -40 degrees celsius. Before that one is forced to drink two 20 litre barrels of half-fermented sahti (that's a sort of simple, strong beer) so that you're continuously shooting brown slime from your behind during the rite, which lasts approximately one full day.

Ok, here it is: :loco:
 
Getting scary & artistic again:

About the motives of making music (and avoiding work at this very moment by writing this shit).

I've never been that much into playing before. It's odd. I've had all kinds of bands from the moment I learned my first chords, but at the age of 14 I jammed to being a vocalist. At 17 I got my first bass and did like playing it until got into a band. It sucked, was hard and difficult, but did pay off in fast progress. Still I've felt singing was my thing all along. To be honest I feel I've just recently found a path that could lead me into being good in it. But that remains to be seen.

The actual point here is that after I bought the new guitar, I've been playing alot and enjoying myself really. Despite the few artistic moments that spawned this thread. I feel at this moment the riffs are born of mere joy of playing, not because there's some unclear, fuzzy need to do it.

I don't like coding that much it seems. I really hope I get through this school, but music has grown to be main thing in my life since Farmakon was formed. It's scary at times. Most of my thoughts concentrate on this band all the time. The change in the last two years has been huge, even in my person. In some manners I've become more...self-centered. Not in any I-OWN-YOU-way I think, but I've given up understading people. I feel I don't need to be with anyone who doesn't 'speak the same language'. I've eased up this a bit, it was worse last year.

Then there is this urge to play, to just go home and play. It's new to me. A 1,5 year back I had a chat with this english guy, Allen. an unknown alternative rock player in London. He told me about how he experienced gigging. He said when people come and listen to music he's written it's like the best feeling in the world. His love to music was real and strong. Though I doubt he wasn't much of a musican actually, you just sense that kinda things. I felt kinda bad, and said nothing of our upcoming record deal. This opportunity given to us isn't anything at least I deserve. I've never had fervent dreams of being a rock star, I've never rehearsed hours a day, I've never had this music-or-nothing determination. Not even now. But at last I'm getting to know how it's like.

Guess I could babble kilometers of text, better not.
