stupid first world problems you're dealing with

I have my first show in a little over 3 weeks. I am so unprepared and I'm starting to feel insecure about how incomplete and bare and half-assed my music sounds. My brain is full of advice from friends, which is almost all solicited and probably sound, but overwhelming. I'm really stressed about the show and I'm starting to feel existential about this music thing, like I suck so bad I should just quit. At this point I'm kind of looking forward to getting it over with.

everything sounds more impressive on a loud PA rig.

Three weeks and no scene release of CS6 yet.

lol what upgrades are you really dying for? er, for that matter, what do you work primarily in?

All of them! Whatever they all are! Illustrator in the past and video things now but nothing too serious. I'm an unrepentant dabbler.

Don't worry, people like incomplete, bare and half-arsed music.

It's looking cool that is the important bit.

This too. It somehow stamps a seal of legitimacy on whatever is playing.

I drove my '88 Honda Accord around for close to two years like this. It was so old and had so many things wrong with it I knew it would never pass an inspection. The only thing is long after I got rid of that car, I still occasionally drive like I'm avoiding the police. I know all the back routes to get to places. I drove like that for so long sometimes I have to tell myself, "relax, there's nothing wrong with your car now and they can't ticket you for anything".

I'm amazed you managed it for two years... there are so many cops around right now, even when I take the back roads they're fucking everywhere recently.

My girlfriends flatmate has skitso tendencies. He became angry and annoyed far too many times with me, when finally he did it one more time, so I just walked off to avoid his arguments only to be followed and told what a cunt I am. My girlfriend doesn't seem to understand why I now have a problem with him and wants me make up with him.

For some reason she seems to think he is a friend when I know he just generally is a horrid person. He's also admitted to being a smack user, a needle sharer and had a cock in his ass.

Am I being that unreasonable?

lol

I don't think you should be concerned with the fact that he had a cock up his ass, but it's pretty obvious he's had his cock up your girlfriend's.

And it's not good to be friends with a needle sharer.

£60 that Ortofon cost and the fucker still hasn't paid me!

Can't figure out which Ween album is the best Ween album.

the person i was going to see Beastie Boys Burlesque isn't going

feel awkward about going to see burlesque on my own

Beastie boys burlesque? Tell me more.

well i'm not there so i'll never be able to tell you more

Damn i'd go to that!

Yeah, what the hell. Keltoi and i would have kept you company. Would have been awesome. (the meet up, not the lamernesque. Posy, large size, tat covered, wannabe suicide girls aren't really my thing.)

;-]

I could see that. It's probably going to blow my mind since I tend to listen to things kinda quiet, even though I don't really need to.

We are two different souls, you and I

Good, it's not like we're getting married or anything. heh. I recon you'd have a great night out with me and the kelt.(edit: and tauboo lol after all he's the guy that started this) I'm quite amiable and fun when i can bother to be. Well if you can take a light dusting of jocular analysis of everything around us.

I should have cleaned up that white area, but it kind of looks alright like that. Plus i didn't want to have to sit up on the couch to get serious with GIMP.
