Your defining moment (so far)

We define ourselves more and more with each thought that passes. Therefore I could say my most defining moment as of now is right now.

If we skip this psychological side and go down to actual happenings, one of the most defining moments I have had must have been when I was some nine years old. My friend and I were going through his father's LP collection, and an astonishingly beautiful album crossed my eye. "The best of Black Sabbath" it said, with the picture depicting Hell being turned loose upon the earth. We put it on, and when I heard the awe-inspiring, gargantuan opening riff to "Iron man" I was dumbstruck.

And a subsequent event directly linked to the same song was when I, for the first time ever, picked up the guitar to actually play something. The riff was pure hell to play at first, yet eventually it turned into heaven!
 
When I made a new friend, and that same friend basically made me love music, and it changed my perception on society, life,etc. That was back in november '98. The bastard!!! :loco:

The day I stopped believing in God.

I hope you believe in Jebus like I do. :D

Weird?! What do you mean, weird?!? >:o))

Yeah, so, as of this moment I define myself as weird,
cause Confessor sais I am >:oP
 
Musically when I got the internet and did some searching and found there was a ton of bands out there that I liked and never would have found if it wasn't for the internet.

Not musical was when a family member attempted suicide, that had a big impact on me and helped define who I am.

Of course I still have a lot more defining moments to come I guess.
 
i dont think we can ever truly define ourselves, what we would like to believe we are, and what we actually are, are often two very different and distinct things. i despise myself in the hope that someday i may surprise myself

Well, your eyes look very small. And its like if you are an alien. No offense there, I like norwegian born alien chicks. :loco:

Not only weird, but I did call you sexy the other day. So your sexweirdy. :goggly:

NP: Dimmu Borgir - Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace....

Well, I'm dealing with the same thing (x3), and I thought of putting that as my defining moment - but I still go back to being married, because without this marriage, no kids (or maybe different kids) with no kid problems (or maybe different kid problems), and probably not this suicide threat always looming.:cry:
 
It's hard to say, I've had a lot of those moments. There are certain times, when everything seems to come together, and this whole world seems to make sense....Then you continue believing what you've felt. Then, eventually another moment comes, and all these strange revelations come upon you at one time, and you spend ages pondering those ideas and revelations.....I've had too many (despite sounding like a science fiction novel!) to actually pinpoint one that defines me. It's defintely an ongoing process. I guess my last revelation would be the most specific one for defining who I am now, but it would mean nothing without the previous ones....so........
 
Useful Idiot: "Was there really a specific day you ceased to believe in God?"

Yes there was actually, my belief actually had been declining a little bit, I was questioning it a little bit. And then I was reading something about the bible and all its contradictions (which I had noticed), and I just suddenly said "that's it, it's all bullshit" and my life has been better ever since.
