Sure, this is two pages back, but I'll respond anyway.

Much recognition here. Now I'm not negating the value of this when I report the following. Just sharing in general.
Last year when there started to be some real uneven footing in my marriage, I was discussing my issues with my Mom (that'll teach her to want to go on vacation with me anytime soon!). She observed that for the longest time it had seemed like it was me'n'Kevin against the world. But that I was no longer fighting against the world.
Fortunately things are better 'tween us at the moment. To the point where the other day Kevin commented that it seemed like "old times". I think I'd like to have "old times" be state of the union again. We've both been working at it. In my case even to the point of throwing alot of money at the problem.

1. I cannot talk to someone, even a close friend, if there is a stranger in the room.
2. I am considered weird by most people and am constantly looking weirder and weirder as i can't decide whether to perpetuate this myth or try and demonstrate that i am actually probably sane.
3. i am absolutely fucking convinced that I am a very unique and talented person creatively yet am unable to commit to any one area which would damn well show everybody (be it music or writing).
4. I have only just started applying for graduate jobs nearly a year after graduating as I keep believing that all employment wishes to trap me forever and steal my soul.
5. I have lived in 13 different houses in my 22 years.
6. The happiest moment of my life involved the digestion of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
7. I am convinced I am more intelligent than just about everybody else my age and always have been.
8. women clearly find me attractive, funny, intelligent and caring- Thus my extreme lack of sucess has convinced me more than anything else there is something really weird about me.
9. I hate people who aren't funny who go around pointing out things that aren't funny.
10. I agree with The Slider almost always on the non music related topics. More than I do with anyone else on the board....but i'm too shy to actually have arguments on this board so no one would know it.


To put it all in a nutshell i'd have to say simply that i'm rather egocentric. However i do not see this as a negative thing. Having a high opinion of yourself does not entail that you don't care for others. Though it maybe true that i talk about myself a little too much.

May be a silly question, but if you weren't fighting the world, does this mean you stopped fighting altogether, or were you turning on each other?

I'll give it a try.

1. I'm fifty two and feel nowhere near it. I think back of how I thought my father was old when he was in his fifties and I in my thirties,sorry dad.

2. I've been married and faithful to my wife for twenty nine years.

3. I wish I had managed money better, it looks like I'll be working the rest of my life.

4. I haven't had a drink or cigarette in fourteen years.

5. As I get older I find it harder to find music I like. One of the great things about this place is the new and interesting stuff I've been turned on to.

6. I cannot believe in organized religion any longer.

7. I'm embarrassed to say I never voted until I was thirty nine.

8. Look up procrastinator in the dictionary and you'll see my picture.

9. I wish I would read more, but there always seems something else to do.

10. Almost everything I do now is for shits and giggles.
I wont retire,but I might retread.

No, I started being a little successful in some of my endeavors. As a result, I saw the world as slightly less antagonistic. Meanwhile, he's been on the slippery slope to cranky-old-manville and finding more and more fault with the world. I don't always agree with him. Or, I don't find it worth expounding upon ad nauseum. And I don't think everyone is out to get me. I used the words uneven footing in my previous post. That's what it is.

Oddly, Zong, as i was reading down your list I was thinking "Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup.." (apart from the Hallucinogens that is) and then we got No.10 and I realise that you are Edward Norton to my Brad Pitt (or the other way around).

I'll be Ed Norton. I can be the brooding, silent psychopath and you can be the vocal, noisy psychopath.


Plus my wrists are too thin to be Brad Pitt.
