What's on your mind now?

[j_menz]

I haven't had that much fun skating in a long time.... I slammed pretty hard and kinda bloodied up my hands a bit, but it was worth it. 

Fun apparently means something different where you are.

Dude I got like some steezy ass tricks on camera.  IT WAS WORTH IT.

These kind of have a different flavor now with the PRISM stuff going on.


With extended battery life.... Someone will do this with those quadcopter drones.

Next time count the dogs and cats before and after dinner. Are you planning to go back there?

[unholeee]

^ i hear dog taste quite good acually..i said goodbye to the girl, she looked kind of sheepish but not as much as my friends did.

Same thing happens in French where a famous composer's name said backwards means the same thing you got stuck for. And it was years later in Spain when I learned that auto parts didn't have a swear word preceding their name.

Counting the cats was an expression my neighbor said when I got back from an exceptional lunch of both price and quality. She couldn't believe how little we paid.

Hmm.  I wonder if I could marry myself and get some kind of tax break.

Try it! If marriage is not defined in your state, why not?

[Bob]

It's probably already been tried.  Or I'd still have to file as a one person in the household.


This is interesting.  And kind of scary since they don't know.

I wonder if there's something in the lab animal's food.  Is the food exactly the same as it was decades ago?  Maybe they used cheaper ingredients.  Or maybe it's something with genetically modified food.  That would be something -- Make more food through controlling the genes of the food plants, but also create people who eat those plants who are hungrier because of those gene changes.

[oxy60]

Ah yes but that is a different column. If you are married to yourself you would be the head of the household and a dependent. You would though need another SS#  for your dependent persona.

Tasty "salsa yogurt" or did Bob forget to buy chips and is too lazy to go back to buy them?

salsa, no chips
plain Greek yogurt
shredded cheese
black olives

Remove yogurt, add lettuce and possibly some meat and it's taco salad.

Okay Pianostreet, I have a rant for you. I'd write it in the style of rachmaninoff_forever, but nah, I don't feel like it. I apologize in advance for the lacking cohesiveness, and that the following text might not even be able to form a comprehensible idea. But here goes.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your disgust should you choose to read these thoughts from a naive kid.

I'm homesick because I've been in Canada for about two weeks now, "on vacation", by which I mean a family visit to our relatives, who I cannot ever make conversation with, because of both cultural and language barriers. So without a piano, I am hopelessly bored beyond my belief.

I have the feeling that I'm beginning to hate everyone. I'm not antisocial, even though I have awkward social tendencies. I *** hate it (pardon my French) when people call me antisocial. For the love of [something], I am an introvert. I am not shy. I am not unable to interact with people like a normal person. I am reserved. Or maybe people can't get the freaking idea that I JUST DON'T WANT TO TALK TO THEM. Do I have to strike up conversation with every acquaintance and act all chummy with them, to be normal? Yeah, I don't have many friends, but they're good friends of mine. I'm very happy with my life. I don't go out often; I spend most of my time on schoolwork and doing what I love, and that's enough. No one has to tell me to change my behavior (maybe my attitude, but that's a different story. Will it really matter in the real world, the professional world? We're not going to have the liberty of being so socially active as adults. Sorry about that digression; something else was on my mind. My spoiled teenage cousin just pisses me off so much (again, please pardon my French).

But since I'm already on this idea, I might as well continue on. I am so glad that this school year is done. I couldn't stand my pretentious English class anymore. I swear, if I had to endure one more week with them, I would have gouged my eyeballs out. I know it's only one class, but they're just so annoying. People as a whole treat me fine. My friends treat me fine. They know how I am, and have accepted and gotten used to it. But my classmates, man, they treat me as if I were mentally handicapped. I rarely talk in that class; correction: most people rarely hear me talk in that class. Because of that, and that I have a somewhat-less-than-moderate stutter, I am not respected. Once I swear I saw someone roll their eyes when I was giving a presentation. Working in groups is even worse. A month ago, I had to practice this script with my group, and I asked them to excuse my stutter. So after a few takes, the most recent one being actually successful, a girl said "good job" to me. Maybe she was being sincere, but I doubt it. She didn't even look me in the eyes. What the hell, pregnant dog? Sorry for being such a burden on you? I'm normal. Hell, even better (now don't get cocky, perprocrastinate). This is actually the more advanced variant of standard 11th grade English. How did I even make it in this class if I was "special"? All I'm asking for is the remotest amount of respect.

Now that I've deviated so far from what I intended to talk about in the first place, I might as well stop here. Typing on a touch screen tablet is a pain in the behind. Aforementioned, this rant probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense, partially because I know I don't gather my thoughts well, resulting in the audience's misconception or misperception, but, eh. I guess I feel better to have released some frustration.

EDIT: Did I say that I hated everyone? Maybe not everyone. I still love you guys. <3









Except for the89thkey. He can suck my balls. (that was a South Park reference, for those of you who might take offense to that. If you take offense to the fact that I watch that drivel, then boo hoo)

[the_fervid_pig]

FWIW I find your post very eloquent. I don't think you need a lot of friends, just a few good ones. There's nothing worse than someone with verbal diarrhoea, well actually there's war, famine, pestilence and the other one but I digress... there's a word for them here, gobshites. I've never been to Canada, but if it's anything like here there are probably loads of old pianos gathering dust in church halls, rest homes, village halls etc, would it be possible to enquire about using one of them, just for a couple of hours? There's a charity shop near here that will let you play their old piano and keep you supplied with tea and biscuits while you do. At the very least, even if you don't find anything it will get you away from your annoying family for a while.

[oxy60]

Being stuck anywhere where you don't speak the language is pure hell. Are your hosts so arrogant that they can't speak English to you? They did learn it in school.

It is common courtesy to make your visitors feel comfortable.

Recently I had to go over to Canada for a purchase. I couldn't leave quickly enough. Reentering the US through a land crossing took longer than my entire visit.

Just saved a runaway dog running on some traintracks

Just saved a runaway dog running on some traintracks

Oohh, what happened? I have nightmares about this, well, not literally, but you know what I mean.  Poor thing, was it a stray? Mine once broke his lead and buggered off after a cyclist.

[chopin2015]

I recently had another ear surgery. And aside from feeling miserable in pain and deafness and terror, I am also in soo much pain from the heartache because I have a HUUUGE GIANT CRUSH on my doctor. I mean, my goodness! FOXY!!! Nothing more attractive than an intelligent person.

I was skating to the skatepark and this lady was like running barefoot after this dog.  And she told me to stop skating because she thinks it might scare the dog away or something.  So I was like, dang this might be fun!  So I asked her if she needed help and she was like yeah.

So I run after the dog and it's like running on the train tracks.  So we were running for a while, and then I hear a train sound in the distance. 

Now I'm like ***...

No more games little kid, I'm getting your ass now. 

Because before I was afraid to grab it cause it might bite me or something. 

So anyways, I throw my bag off and everything and I start booking it. 

I became really violent and like kicked him around and finally grabbed him.  He was pretty aggressive, he bit my hands a couple times in the struggle.

Anyways I gave it back to the lady and she was like thanks bro, and I was like, nay no worries, it was fun.


Well I'm sure the dog would've ran off once the train got close enough.

Yo what the heck is up with your ear?!

And damn you have a crush on your doctor?  That's soooooo weird!!!  Like dude physical examinations and stuff, what the heck?!  Well I guess love knows no boundaries...

Awe! That is so nice of you!
I would save my dog. She once started swimming off into the current and was crying so I took off after her and we swam to the other shore together and we were safe! But good for you that you could handle that dog. Personally, I wouldn't always eagerly take that risk.

Dude...he's an ear doctor. That is soo cute! I love psychoacoustics. I just love talking to him. He is so yummy X) (I say that about Chopin too and may possible be slightly insane, so don't take me completely serious... )
My ear drum never healed right after the screwed up my first surgery and didn't take care of me. Look up Cholesteotoma and tell me if that is not the scariest thing ever!!!! You gotta get those things removed early enough or it will seriously mess your hearing up.

Hey...

It's that Beethoven tattoo. 

Beethovens deafness is rubbing off on you!

 If you chase a dog they tend to run away. It was probably frightened, confused with all the commotion. Lucky you were about and quick enough to catch it!

[chopin2015]

Haha! I say that too. I say that it is also because I am playing and listening to too much Beethoven, so I am going deaf. Also, we have like that same Numerology and astrology data, so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up devastatingly alone, with nothing but piano for the rest of my life.

Yesterday I started work again after my 3 week vacation. Today I suddenly realized that I had mixed up the dates and I actually was supposed to start work today. I don't feel very clever now 

Well, I'll have an extra day off tomorrow and will dedicate it to my piano

Sounds like the kind of thing I do, except without the extra day off!

While out with the dog today I opened the gate that leads onto the bridge that goes over the river, and put my hand in something unpleasant, sort of mucussy snotty clear stuff at about waist height. I'm hoping it was dog snot, I'm used to that but if it wasn't I don't want to know what it was.

You didn't ask your dog? They should know 

[the_fervid_pig]

He said it's ok but not quite so nice to roll in as dead mole.

[Bob]

I really have to stop browsing the web while eating.

[the_fervid_pig]

Eating's boring though, you need something else to do whilst engaged in this tedious but necessary activity, besides playing with your testicle that is.

[outin]

... besides playing with your testicle that is.

And I couln't even do that 

[Bob]

Yet the average person could.

*Bob's wondering what the average person who is average for everything would consist of.*  Average age, height, weight, etc.  Weight... I guess America would throw that off.  You'd need an average American and an average 'world citizen.'

Driving through town yesterday I'd say the UK isn't far behind. I think the average person doesn't exist. By the law of averages nobody can be that average.

Come on man, this is an online forum.


In real life though I have a pretty solid speech.

Like I can get around in job interviews.

Well for all the job interviews I've done, the interviewees were like in their early to late 20s so...  Meh,

I assumed he was interviewed in some kind of joint interview where the company ran a high speed quiz, last one standing/best results gets the job.

More seriously though, I actually thought he was saying that his skills were good enough that he could apply for jobs where the typical applicant was that age..  and then I wondered what the job was, where they could potentially hire a 17 year old but usually take on someone who's 25.

I have an interviewed with Leo Burnett over last summer.

It was very weird, they like wouldn't give me a work description.  

Even when the guy seed me around the building, he still like didn't tell me what work he would have me done.

*walking around*

Bro:  or sorry, you can't go there.  That's ugh...  Classified...

Me:...  What the heck is going on?

Bro:  oh and this is where we play ping pong!

*I look at the wall*

Bro:  WOAAAAAAAHHH don't look at that!!!  That's classified!!!

Me:...  Are you kidding me...

*this guy starts sweating*.

Bro:  uuh, okay we gotta leave now!  Damn it I showed him too much...  Should I kill him or let him live?  If information like this gets out...

Me:  thanks for the tour?

Bro:  yo hit me up later let's get something to eat next time.

*fist bump*


Okay we didn't fist bump, and he didn't asked himself whether or not he should killed me in fearing of myself leak any information, but that's literally what happened.  he wouldn't let me got to go in certain places cause it was like classified, it was really weird.

[j_menz]

he wouldn't let me got to go in certain places cause it was like classified, it was really weird.

Get used to it. The rate you guys are going, there soon won't be anywhere that ain't.

[ajspiano]

Classified
Adjective
Arranged in classes or categories.

Yeh, definitely shouldn't look at that kind of thing. It could be an OCD issue, they may have been so overly organised that you'd have run away in fear of being micromanaged.
