The Whining and Bitching Thread

Why do alot of people find sweep picking and blast beating wankery brutal tech death metal appealing? *shakes head*

Some people thinks it means that they're "tough" people who can handle "intense" music, others think they're smart because its so CUMPLECKS AND TECKNIKULZ.

Sounds like someone doesn't know how to do either of those things.

Wankery is the most useless talent ever.
 
I was going to whine about having a fairly heavy/confusing workload tomorrow but after reading The Butt's existential crisis post, I feel like an asshat doing so.

Chin up sailor. Sometimes debt can be worth the expenditure if you go into a field that is likely to have lots of jobs available.

Student loans bro.

I might end up having to go through for one. But as I said, the course is 5-6 grand (at the very least. I think with all fees, it might come up to higher).

I sorta just have a really overpowering fear of debt, the concept just really bugs the shit outta me. If I can avoid it at all possible, I'll try my damn best to do so.

The good part is, since you're older hopefully by the time you go to college you'll take it seriously. Half of everyone that signs up drops out or fails by the end of the first semester. I'm 23 and only a sophomore, but on scholarship and getting straight a-s because I've decided that I fucked up enough in life already, and it's time to grow the hell up.

I'm a graphic design major, and I have to say I'm really worried about finding a job after I finish college. I have several really awesome portfolio pieces, but even if I'm the best there's still no guarantee.

Good luck figuring things out for yourself, have you considered community college?

I'd definitely take it seriously, I would give anything I had to be out on my own, living in residence, and in college. I'm taking part time courses right now at an Algonquin in Ottawa, for a certificate, and I love it. But I want to go full-time, and go for the real thing.

Getting a job doesn't worry me, I'll probably just end up trying to get a job with some local newspaper or something, or some sort of web design job.

It's just getting into college in the first place that is proving to be really hard. If I could get a job (I've literally applied at nearly every place in this town) this wouldn't be a problem, cause I'd just save for a year, if I could even pay half the student loan upfront I'd be a happy camper, I'd be all over that shit. But things aren't proving to be that easy.

Thanks guys. It's just really taking a toll on me. Being 20 and still living in this shithole just really fucking sucks.
 
I'm just gonna say this, maybe it will be helpful. I recently started my Fall semester in college and i was quite excited, because i missed the university my friends and all that. I had 3 classes that day, and then i came home feeling extremely exhausted, my feet started to ache really badly, i wasn't able to walk normally, because i wasn't 100 percent recovered from the chemotherapy that i received in the summer. If this was going to happen every time i came back home, i said to myself i'm not going to the university anymore. But then i did a lot thinking, and came to a conclusion that, what the hell am i going to be if i don't continue my education?

So now, i dropped all my courses for this semester, and talked to university about my situation, and they didn't have any problem with it. So now, i'm going to sign up for classes in Spring. I believe i will be fully recovered by that time. I don't mind taking classes slowly till i finish my treatment. I don't mind either if i graduate from i university when i'm 25
 
Earlier I listened to Immortal's album Battles in the North. Whenever I think about this album, I always think of the ear-rapingly bad production. My left ear really hurts today. Coincidence? :zombie:

Yeah, it's much better to take it slow than push yourself while treatment and whatnot is going through. Anyways, good luck with it all.
 
I dislike the production on Battles in the North because it is just horribly produced. The plastic drums annoy me to no end and it doesn't help that they're incredibly high in the mix.

I think the production on the first two Immortal albums is really good! Blizzard Beasts wasn't too bad either.

With At the Heart of Winter they adopted that awful modern style of production. Loud, inflated, bass-y wall of sound crap. Although, Sons of Northern Darkness sounds alright. I guess these albums aren't too bad in contrast to what is out there.
 
Blizzard Beasts is the worst-produced album I've ever heard. Not to mention the sloppy drums piss me right OFF.
 
I think Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism has the best production. The muddled tone of the guitars makes it sound like it comes from afar, foreboding music from some distant mountain instead of directly from the speakers.

I think that Blizzard Beasts has an odd production, but I don't mind it. The drums aren't completely overwhelming...Are you sure you're referring to right album though? The drumming on Battles in the North is very sloppy, with far too much emphasis on speed. It is a faster paced album than Blizzard Beasts is,.
 
Nah... Blizzard Beasts was the first Immortal album I checked out so I've always remembered it vividly in my mind. I hate hate hate it.

The drums just sound really tinny and weak, and the drummer... sounds like he can't keep up most of the time.

Initially, I disliked Blizzard Beasts when I first got it. It was back in the day when I had no access to downloading or anything so without hearing a second of the album I bought it, paying $27.99! At this time, just about any metal import was $23.99 and higher, and this was when the Canadian dollar really sucked too!

Yeah, I agree that the drums are rather tinny and weak. Perhaps they overcompensated. But I've grown to enjoy the album, the song "Mountains of Might" is pretty awesome!

The original promo for Battles in the North album was criticized a fair bit for the production, so they released it with a different mix. I believe I have the promo downloaded onto my comp somewhere, I'm trying to remember what the differences are...

So I take you've never heard this then?

Jesus... this job of mine is no joke.

I'm clearly on a lower plane of aptitude compared to most of my coworkers. I learn more slowly, forget things more easily, and make mistakes more often. Even with a relatively simple role on this project, it feels like I'm barely keeping my head above water sometimes. Something has to change -- either with the nature of the work or with my own lifestyle -- or else I'm going to turn out to be a pretty disappointing employee.
 
I got a call today from the asshole I sold my car to two and a half months back. Apparently the turbo is now broke, and he wants me to either pay for the repairs or take the car back. It's not like he didn't get to test the car as much as he wanted to before he signed the contract or anything. What's more, I didn't know anything more about the turbo than he did, so why the hell should I pay him?
