Yeah. it got better though once i had a few v's and stopped running around. the guy then started play every rock and pop song that had bag pipes in it. it was a bit different for a wedding
hahaha. crankylou? I'm sure thats a rare moment with your sense of humour lou. my last crank moment was on sat nite when i went to work hungover and there were very loud bagpipes playing. oohhh iwas pissed off
okay so that was a lie and i;m just acting out fantasies here. single for the last 8 months and currently on a 3 month drought. ( not that i'm counting) alright its not that bad that's more like it
geez. i donlt know what to say here guys but it sounds like an interesting enough conversation. have the feeling barnabi that an exact answer like the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy would only prove ill will but is the answer 7?
it depends on the roads. a man could walk down oxford street in kings cross and come out a woman on the other side the answer my friend is between his legs then. sorry barnabi got carried away there. like the song and a very valid question.
thanks gogirl. it meets a lot hearing you say that and am sorry to hear about bad things happening to good people ( also directed at you imzati) I'm sure you;re a wonderful mother and look for every chance to spoil those kids with your love.
Hi imzati. You have pretty much bared all so to speak, so its only fair that I can give my own commentary on pain. I lost my father to pancreatic cancer about 8 weeks ago, which is one of the reasons why I moved to brisbane. At the time he was dying, he was living in coolangatta and i would only be about an hour away rather than eight hours away if he needed me. unfortunately i didn't make it in time as i only moved here about 5 weeks ago. Though the ordeal itself is quite sad, you do learn a few things about people. the biggest part i learned about myself is that i could become stronger emotionally than i ever dreamed, particularly for the sake of my family. My brother and i swapped roles and the once bull headed alpha male that is my brother showed his sensitive side and i became the take charge alpha male that he needed to cope. since then, him and i have moved a lot closer as brothers. We also reunited with one of our half sisters who i haven't seen in twenty years and got together last weekend to share some of dad's last batch of home brew and tell stories about him. My father got his chance to redeem some of the bad things he had done in the past and showed a loving side to my siblings. I got the chance to tell an alpha male i loved him before he passed away. My friends in both newcastle and brisbane have been incredibly supportive and given me whatever i needed in accommodation and basic friendship to cope. thanks for letting me get this off my chest and to let you know that while we all see some bad things that cause us pain, we can also see the great side in other human beings as well, as i'm sure you're seeing in yourself and your closest friends around you.
nice scarface quote mandrake. you are the man. " you need people like me so you can point your f*@kin' fingers and say that's the bad guy" sorry it;s hard to quote scarface without putting the f word in. anyway... the people i know with money are completely boring pricks because most of them have inherited it and have no value for anything in there life. sorry this is a little off topic shy nice guy but as long as you;re putting yourself out there, you're on your way.
hey sarah. the name's rob. that kind of sucks about the ex. The last ex i broke up with i was frieds for 12 months beforehand and now we don;t talk so i know what you're going through. You've come to the right place though because i've only been here 2 weeks and have already met a giving and supportive bunch of people. Enjoy the forums.
thanks guys. you just gave me another neil young song to download. did i say download... i mean ... ummm purchase legitimately at the local music store...mmm yes that's it. anyway neil young rocks and i;m always on the lookout for musical inspiration. see you guys and 'keep on rockin' in the free world'
this is a great idea. its nice to know others are doing the same thing. it makes me feel like theres a lot of hope for humanity when i read things like this. I'm trying to take a workmate under my wing who's a 20 year old bloke who doesnlt have a lot of friends and/or social life and has a real deadbeat family. I'm fairly new to brisbane myself but i've already started to meet new people and i think he needs some supportive people and maybe he'll flourish. i know this isn't a total stranger but i still think it counts as he really needs some help.
wow. this thread got everyone's blood pumping. its hard to say with romantic dates as what might work with one person doesn;t always work for another. as much as i love films i've found movie dates don't tend to work as there's no time to talk. i guess coffee and a nice romantic stroll has always been a better icebreaker for me. i guess its important to do an activity that puts both of you at ease very quickly but then again i tend to miss that nervous excitement when you meet someone new.
its just a shame there's the whole distance issue lou. otherwise i'd take you out on a date and get very nervous all over again
i like the way you've set it out hello you. there are different songs for different parts of your life. paint it black;s a classic. i also love the tea party's cover of it. so on that note: tea party's "heaven's coming down", Sublime's "what i got and" "badfish", alice in chain's "would? and rooster". neil young: "keep on rockin in the free world" has almost too much to say. lynyrd skynyrd's 'freebird'" and kansas "carry on my wayward son" have been two songs i've been playing a little too much lately (great traveling music)
i think you're right there mandrake. we're only human to have baggage. It's what we choose to do with the baggage that defines us though. Several drinks seems to be one method... not always successful though.
RE: hello to all you nice guys out there
hi virgobabe. i am a virgo from brissy. wouldn;t call me a babe though. you'll vae to carry the torch on that one.
