the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

[bob the r0bot]

the outline of the story I'm working with:
act 1:
-guy has emotionally abusive party girl girlfriend who OD's and dies at a club
-recounts her dying in the hospital at her funeral and eventually has a massive episode
-develops a near sexual attraction to a personal artifact of hers (dress she died in complete with vomit stains or underwear of some form depending on how creepy I feel like making it)
-*instrumental break to set mood for following act as well as signal large passage of time (1-4 years)*
act 2:
-guy has new emotionally fragile girlfriend who he uses as a crutch while still haunted by the memory of dead girlfriend
-eventually moves on from dead girl and throws out dead girl's artifact
-new girl finds dead girl's artifact in the trash assumes worst and leaves without explaining what happened
-guy kills himself by burning down his apartment while still in it.

it's gonna sound really weird if I ever finish it because I plan to write the music based on setting and mood of character so while there are sad lyrics about a girl choking on her vomit there will be the most obnoxious club music I can muster as well as loud, abrasive punk-esque music when he's flipping out at her funeral and soft acoustic guitars when his new girlfriend is crying to herself in a corner because she thinks her boyfriend is cheating.

I'm approaching my one year anniversary of not being suicidally depressed. I feel like I should be happier, but atleast I'm content.

[dubkitty]

not being suicidally depressed is a good thing. i'm working on that.

you deserve some cake

I haven't had any GAS for a while. I also never have any money anymore so that's probably related. I still want a Monolith cab but that seems pretty far off considering I have zero savings.

I think I'm finally in a state where I'm tired and just wanna learn how to actually play. Well, I'm ready to commit myself to practicing seriously. That and learn how circuits work, and to reach a level of experience where soldering isn't infuriating 100% of the time.

Unacceptable! Mediocrity shall haunt you forever


I just kidding! Warm fuzzies all around

WE WANT CAKE! WHERE'S OUR CAKE!?!?!

Hey, it was just over a year that I came the close to seriously harming myself too. Since then, I've decided to stop giving a shit instead of just acting like I don't give a shit. It's fucking excellent.

strangely enough Here Comes the Sun just came on the radio.

OMG! I'm halfway through my shift. That means I'm just 4 hours away from playing through my new amp as loud as I fucking want and then getting some much needed sleepies.

You should get a tattoo of Ronald Reagan that says, "I'm really gonna regret this in thirty years."

my friend has a tattoo on the front of his neck off center, which is also supposed to hurt like a bitch. he just chewed a vicodin before hand works well enough.

Well once you're endorphins are up you should be able to get through the pain. When I'm getting tatted (it's been a while; I've got some unfinished work (mainly coloring) that needs to be done) I always remind myself that the reward outlasts the pain by a long shot.

I do have a bit that goes into my armpit. That's a sensitive spot. Pain is temporary.

So my dad came by today and dropped off the mysterious Teisco (?) "Tele-Star" and amp that he got as a pair for $50 at a yard sale. The guitar's disassembled right now for cleaning and I just opened up the amp. The thing is light as a feather and looks and feels like it's made out of cardboard, but I removed the back and laughed. Apparently I now own a "vintage" tube amp. Of questionable quality, but still.

It totally works! Working tremolo and everything! Two inputs! Footswitch option! The pots are a little scratchy and the amp does not get very loud but it's fun. I'll post pics of both as soon as I figure out what I did wrong with the electronics replacement. Everything seems like it should work...

So you should get blown while you're getting it(unless the tat is on your dick of course). I'm sure plenty of the skanky middle aged bitches hanging around the parlor will gladly trade a hummer for some Whitesnake bootlegs and a pack of Pall Malls.

I actually slept yesterday!!! I was afraid this was going to be another one of those horrendously sleep deprived weeks where I spend the whole time wanting to puke/shit my guts out and lie on the floor until I'm dead. If everything is super gravy, my dad will be at the office tomorrow which means I can do some very loud experimenting with the new amp setup.

[warwick.hoy]

Seriously?

I said endorphins (spelled right this time),...not COCK



EDIT: Oh I spelled it right last time to.

[snipelfritz]

Getting blown by someone who probably has the herp doesn't give you a rush? Maybe that's more adrenaline, but still, I think my point stands. Anyway, you're the one providing the cock, not getting it.

Fleetwood Mac makes me want to wave my arms around all "shiva-style."
