No different it's not like it makes it legal for me to have weed now...
Although it could mean the street price may drop slightly

I just did some CPR training and other first aid training.
I just hope that nobody I know need some CPR because I don't wanna have to literally break their ribs to have to save their lives.

Did I ever tell you about a weird tradition at my school? I probably did ,just not this specific one.
In the student organisation we have meetings every so often. We also have a post in the organisation which basically translates to Governer of music. The job of the Governer of music is to, at these meetings, drink 4 beers and then perform a song! I got chosen to be Governer of Music last meeting, and tge first meeting of the year is coming up in February! This is gonna be hilarious! XD

Get someone to capture it on video or record it, I need this.

I didn't get it recorded, sorry :P It happened though, and it was awesome!
I performed 2 songs, on ukulele and vocals. First song was "Livet är ett helvete" by Povel Rammel, with an extra verse written by me. The song is basically about why life is a living hell, with observations like 'we get older every day', 'when you think your problems are over, new problems are waitin just around the next corner', and my favourite, 'every song has a bad refrain'. It's an awesome song... In swedish. My verse was about uni being hell. They seemed to enjoy it.
The other song was in english. And was this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRY9Ybi5zqI
They didn't like that one quite as much as the first one though.

Adulthood is forcing yourself to eat healthy, even if I don't wanna.
Got a wedding to go to, and a few pounds I gotta lose.
Hopefully, this won't be mission impossible for me.

Update: lost six pounds in one week. If I keep my progress, I should be where I wanna be by the wedding.

Is that what it's like? I didn't sign up for this ;-;

When adulthood gives you logic, don’t make brussel sprouts. Make adulthood take the brussels back! Get mad! I don’t want your darn brussels, what the heck am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see adulthood’s manager! Make logic rue the day it thought it could give irrisponsible skrubs brussels! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your healthy choices down! With the brussels! I’m gonna get my homies to invent a combustible brussel that burns your logic down!

Yea. Then reality hits.
Which, unfortunately, ultimately, you can't escape.

Indeed.
I also grew up with an eating disorder. And I still have an irrational opinion on food. It sucks.
It's like being scared of the dark. Rationally, I know that there really isn't anything to be afraid of.
And with this eating healthy, rationally I should be able to do it. I just have a hard time.
Sucks to try to explain. Because I don't really know how to explain it.

In a way it's like anxiety and/or depression, really you know nothing's wrong but you can't do anything about it, your body just says no

Kind of.
It's like, I know I don't dislike apples. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they're alright.
Someone gives me an apple. It takes a lot of mental strain to eat it. And I don't even know why.
In my head, I know that really the only thing I am not a fan of about apples is the texture. It tastes fine.
But, that's logical me.
The subconscious me say to not eat it.
I really don't know how to explain that.
It sounds really dumb, and to someone who hasn't experienced this before, it might be hard to try to understand it.
Like for me, it's hard to understand people who have identity issues because I can't relate.
And so, I don't really expect anyone to really understand what I'm trying to say.
Because even to me, I hardly understand it. But I kind of don't. Because I feel like it shouldn't be difficult to eat something other than what I do. Idk.

I've had pneumonia for over a week and I didn't even know it.

Australians, how do you feel?

Marijuana is straight up legal in CO, though. You just need to be old enough and able to present ID at the time of purchase.

True.
I don't quite remember what the article said, but is it that only medical M is legal for you guys?










Just landed my first public gig. Going to be playing at a Poetry Bookstore and Coffee Shop just down the road from me. This'll be fun, except that I have very little time to learn how to play my songs on a launchpad live. So, maybe I'll learn a few, and then just pretend to play the rest. (Like how DJs can pretend to DJ.)

I can actually relate to this quite a lot. I hard for me to eat an apple normally because I had braces for so long so my brain is going "this is wrong"

so for the last like, 5 years, I have been talking about getting a legit pc.
Well, now I have one.
intel i7 4790K @ 4.00 GHz
32GB DDR3 Ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 970
111GB of SSD
4TB HDD
has 7 fans, and a controller for the fans on the front of the machine, so I can turn them up and down manually if I would like to. and lights. I like lights.

*whistles*

That's some pretty impressive kit. I would also look around for a proper sound card for music production. Your rig is going to run like a dream for most general purposes (having a SSD for my boot disc, I can attest to how divine it is), and for gaming, especially, and it won't necessarily be bad for music, but a sound card can dedicate a lot more CPU power to your DAW, and if you want to hook up a lot of external devices, a better sound card will manage them more efficiently. A better sound card will also make for slightly better fidelity in rendering.

right. This is something I intend on getting, just not right now. I just spend a decent amount of money on this rig. And this was prebuilt from my friend, so I'll have to add on later.

[Acsii]

I always make the comment that I wish I had the money to build a gaming rig... then i remember I don't really game that much and I've put more than the cost of a gaming rig into my guitar rig. Also the fact of I'd rather have a Mac Pro for audio and video editing stuffs

I had a similar thought process in wanting a gaming rig and needing money.
I've been saying I'm going to get a rig and saving money for 5 years.
I'm 20. That's 25% of my life I've been saving and planning.
I could have gotten it sooner, but I'm glad I waited.
I don't game as much now as I used to, but I'm glad that I'm capable of gaming when I want.
My machine is playing Battlefield 4 on ultra settings at over 80 fps. Which is above my screens refresh rate.
Black ops 2 plays at over 400 frames per second. I might be able to get a good rate at 4K with that game.
Bio shock infinite is running like a charm.
I'm very satisfied with my machine right now.
My next step is to download Game maker and get back to making some dank games.

Happy Easter. And if you don't celebrate Easter, ignore this message I suppose.

[Bronies Are Cool]

I'm thinking about starting a YouTube channel where I talk and just kind of review stuff or something and kind of be a jerk on purpose. State my opinion about things and exaggerate my opinion for the drama / entertainment.
My inspiration would be the channel "I hate everything". I enjoy his sense of humor.

I generally stay away from those things. I believe that the world has enough hate already, and I'd rather not encourage more by giving it attention.

In different news, just to get it out there, I've been falling and growing a lot, as far as me personally is concerned. Music too though. I have been rather absent here because of trying to be more time efficient, and forgetting about some stuff really. I generally don't have a lot of room to give to hanging on forums.

Recently college has been big on my head. Today I had my 'entrance exam', the talk with the entrance committee. Final stage of the whole entrance procedure. I'm having high hopes for getting allowed in the main course, even though I seem to have chosen the wrong curriculum due to having a wrong image of what it was about. Hopefully gonna be able to fix that.

So now until after summer break, I only got college (another one, that I'm finishing this year) one day in a week. Plus daycare two days a week. So things are gonna be a bit more relaxed for me this time around, even though I won't have any time to sit around and do jack. I still gotta do a lot of work for that other college. At the beginning of this school year, I received a package with about 18 multitracks of songs in various genres (singer-songwriter, Rock, Funk, Gospel, Metal, and even one semi-House track I guess) recorded at that college, of which I need to have six completely mixed by the end of the school year. Plus I also gotta write song lyrics on an existing (unreleased) track on a pre-defined melody for the end of the school year. And right now, the only thing standing in my way of accomplishing that, is my head.

Cuz I have been allowing myself to get distracted too easily. Thankfully I'm still working on this every day, and I've yet to see if I found a good way to counter my auto-excuses for distraction this time. In the meantime, when I'm not doing stuff for college, I'm heavily improving on my production skills. Seriously, I'm beyond excited with how much I've grown since joining this forum :D I've gotten so much better at sound design and manipulation, and creating a seamless aural image with combinations of sounds. I'm also slowly starting to get the hang of managing inactivity on tracks of mine, though it's curently still going tediously slow. For now, though, it's fine, as I can work on other music in the meantime. I've actually finished quite some new things recently (or gotten close to some), though I've yet to release most of them due to album projects, etc, you know the drill (probably?).



So that's me in a nutshell last time around! How have you guys been? I haven't been talking to a lot of you for a while, so it'd be great to play catch-up.

[Ricky Denzel]

I'm actually back. For real this time lol
