  1. Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. but as it was said (yesterday I think) by.... maybe Scarlet(??) at least Cleo's not suffering anymore. And on the same note, you're not suffering along with her either.

    Sit back and have a quiet night tonight, sounds like you need it.

  2. 1. Spock's Beard - Don't Try This at Home, a released CD of their Holland show in 99.

    2. Mindless Self Indulgence- Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy, this is just weird and funny.

    3. Janish Joplin - Full Tilt Boogie

    4. Pearl Jam- Ten

    5. Herbaliser - Something Wicked This Way Comes

    6. Edjes - The Life and Death of Edmund Penguin (and Other Tales), a friend's band

    I'm aware that that's more than 5, but my stereo only holds 3, so I have a complete back up set.

    I'm currently reading The Seven Daughter's of Eve by Bryan Sykes. It's an examination of human ancestry and anthoplogy. No, it's not a text book, and no it's not for school. I know I'm a nerd. Just finished reading Ann Marie MacDonald's Fall On Your Knees for the 3rd time. I love that book.

    I don't go to many movies, but I did see the Bourne Identity recently, it was pretty decent. Yay to the Princess Bride, and gotta mention Pulp Fiction. I was listening to the sound track for it today... hmm... should have put that in the list....

  3. Dude, I know how that goes. I once had a cat that got Leukemia, but it was too far gone and had spread too much for anything to be done for him. It's an awful thing, I loved that cat. And I love my other cat too. She's 12 and in tip top shape, still plays like a kitten, but every now and then I worry about her getting old and sick, it's not something I wanna deal with. Hopefully Cleo's going to be fine. And if you do set up a dinner or something, take a picture of Cleo to a Sobey's and get her picture put on rice paper on top of a cake for desert [smile]

  4. Looks like weezy snuck a post in while I was typing mine....

    It's fine if you don't think I have a valid opinion on this subject, but the real question was what's your opinion about watching live music and drugs... my opinion is that I don't need the drugs. That's all. That's probably all I should have said and just left it at that. I wasn't posting about using drugs, I was posting about being able to enjoy the music on a level that is totally enough for me without drugs.

  5. Alright, apparently I've offended some or hit a sensitive nerve or something.

    Like I said, I choose for ME not to do drugs for my own personal reasons which I won't even bother getting into here. I have nothing against other people choosing to do them, and I totally agree that it's an ass backwards move for most of these drugs to be illegal while alcohol is so "morally correct" simply because it's tax-able to the governmet (I'm not saying anything against booze either). I am totally a free willed person. Do what you want for you, it's up to YOU.

    I just happen to be like dancingfool on this one. I don't feel that I need the drugs or the alcohol to get to some altered state of enjoyment, of the music, the moment or anything else.

    Weezy,

    I'd like to think I'm allowed to have an OPINION about whatever I want to have one about. It's my own thoughts, and I can have those about whatever I please. But, like I said in an earlier post, I can be WRONG. Some of that is due to lack of experience but trust me, I've been around enough high, stoned, drunk and ass backwards people, and heard enough stories about bad trips, to be able to gleam some understanding as to how it can affect you. What I said was "distracts you from enjoying the music, if that's your reason for being there" should be read as: If you are so far gone that you're not really aware of the music in the room (remember I'm only speculating that this can actually happen because, no, it hasn't ever happened to me personally) then the experience has ceased to be about the music and is now about the high. Now if the music was your intention and reason for being there (also in the above statement) then you have negated your own reason for being at the show. Still, I never said anything about it being wrong or right, it's a personal choice. And I definately didn't say anything as to the high being wrong. My statement was all about the music. As to not being trust worthy because of my personal choice, I find that one a little bit confusing, I personally see myself as an extremely trusthworthy person. If you don't know me and are simply forming an opinion on me because I don't smoke pot that seems a little quick to judge. That's like any right wing politian saying that all pot smokers are burn outs that won't ever accomplish anything. We both know that's not true. But I do find it noteworth that you've told me that my opinion is not worthwhile, then go on to agree with me..why?

  6. I stand corrected, like I said I've got no personal experience so I'm basically talking out of my ass on this one. [smile]

    Everyone's got their own way of having a good time, and I usually prefer to refrain from commenting on other people's. Guess I should remember that more often. [Wink]

  7. I may not fully be able to post in this thread, but I'm going to try anyways [smile]

    First off, I don't do drugs, any. Never have, and don't really plan on it. It's just my own personal choice for my own personal me. I haven't got a problem with them, or people doing them around me, as anyone who met/remembers me from CTMF can possibly attest to. And therefore I can't comment on how pot smoking would enhance your musical enjoyment, but I can say that anything that distracts you from enjoying the music, if that's your reason for being there, probably isn't productive in my own opinion. Just from my own observations of others I'd have to agree with AC/DC in that most drunk people aren't really enjoying the show as much as the probably could or should be, and sometimes they even tend to forget that they've even seen the bands play *cough*canned beats *cough*

    sorry dude, had to include it!

    So basically, to sum it up, I'd say to each their own, but I'd think that if you're so blasted out of your tree that it's the high you're enjoying and not the show, what's the point of being at the show? Couldn't you have just as much fun with the high anywhere else?
