We just bought tickets to see Devo in June
!!!!!
I am so fucking excited right now I can't begin to tell you all. It's on the 23rd of June, so this means I'll be home for about a month and then I'll have to go right back to catch the show. I was planning on coming back fairly sharpish anyway, but this definitely confirms it. I'm going to get to see the band I have been fucking *panting* to see since I was in high school. Oh man. Oh man, this is *so fucking awesome.*
I realize I've gone all fangirly and I don't even care.

they are still alive? huh, well i guess that pales in comparison to the Stones at least. :D i kid, i kid, i'm so very happy for you, though i'm having a flashback to a post i left on TechSquire's blog to the effect that i suck, and everyone gets to do cool stuff like that while i'm here waiting for people to post about my blog
it'll be great to see you back in the states again!
interesting though, i was just talking to an english friend of mine, lives in Yorkshire which, for lack of a better understanding of British Geography, i assume is somewhere near where you have been staying
when i said small world, he said small country:D
Yeah, I know, it's rough being underage and stuck somewhere you want out of. I sympathize, I really do, and take it from me- high school really does end, and then you get to get the hell out of Dodge and get on with your own life. Remember that most of us you read have a good ten years on you and as such have more time, money, and experience to put towards these things. You'll get your chance; just get through high school and pick a good college far from where you come from. You'll be surprised at all the cool things you'll get to do once you're legally an adult and free to do your own thing.
Indeed:D, Skylords joke. thanks for your sympathy, but keep in mind that though i talk about how unhappy and closed in i am, it's probably just me ranting on, teen angst i think megin called it:D sorry to unload the brunt of my frustration on you all but its just not the same telling it to a 9 year old.
I know, and that's why I try and cut you some slack. However, rough times or no, I'm still going to treat you like any of my friends, and that means getting on your case to get you to strive to be a better person.
hey, i'm sorry about the last three posts or so, i do hope that you see my intentions were better than that, but i do apologize. i thought about what you said and while i was feeling like a conceited ass the whole day, lo' and behold, just such a real life situation happened along, i think i failed miserably on my part but i will lay off the, um, assholiness for a bit, for lack of a better expression.
Apology accepted. Like I said, I'm not trying to get on your case for the fun of it; I just want you to think before you post. Or speak, for that matter. You're definitely better than the example you've been set; I'd like to help in any way I can to facilitate the process of you becoming a better person. I don't put forth the effort unless I think the person is worth it.
the example i've been set... does that mean what i have posted here,...or first impressions in general?
Have been set, kiddo, as in the example that has been set before you where you are, not one you've set yourself. You have to remember, I am acquainted with where you're from. I'm just trying to reassure you that there really is a great big bright shiny world out here with a lot of wonderful things in it, and that you should work on being a terrific person, because I know you've got it in you, and because the world needs more good people.
ah, i see. Right, i'll get started on being a terrific person right now... what now?
Silly #grins#
It's an ongoing process. I'd just be pleased if you took it as an ongoing and long-term goal. And hopefully you'll want it for yourself as well, and not just because some of us are saying it's what you should do.
thinking,for myself...
maybe i should watch V for Vendetta a few more times.
Couldn't hurt. Start reading Kurt Vonnegut as well, and anything by the current Dalai Lama. I also recommend the Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tze, and also The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff.
That's just a short list- I'll think more on it and amend it when I've thought of more.
I'm actually reading the Tao of Pooh right now, yes, schools are slowly introducing world religeons to the curriculum. heavy in the Taoism eh? or just their outlook on life?
I feel it's a good place to start. I like it better than strict Zen Buddhism, especially for broadening people's worldviews. I find that has many excellent points, but I'm not comfortable with the emphasis on the cessation of desire. I understand that concept that suffering is often born through desire, but I don't think that the complete cessation of desire is a certain fix for all people.
I'll start a post to continue this discussion today; it's getting a bit out of hand here #grins#
