It's a wonderful life, isnt it?
I had the idea of just writing down all the things that im thankful for, enjoy, or have just been really good. So i decided, why not put it on the forunm instead? then people could write about whats good in their lifes....which will equal a happy forum. (hopefully)
Alot of members on here seem to of had it rough this past year, and, even if it doesnt seem like there is anything good, it really helps if you just have a list of all of the good things in your lifew in front of, helps put things in perspective.
Im just gonna put 6 things for now.
NO NEGATIVITY IS ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD ! - just concentrate on the good.
- I have a wonderful mother who loves me unconditionally
- I have a bed. somewhere to go home every night
- I can listen to music when ever i want
- I have friends who i love
- Im in a stage in my life where im beginning on the journey to get to my dreams of what i want to do with my career
- Im in a relationship with the nicest man i have ever met
This thread is dedicated to El Barto
Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth. Someone might get hurt but it won't be me. I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free and a little bit empty. No it isn't so hard to get close to me. There will be no arguments. We will always agree. And I will try and be kind when I ask you to leave. We will both take it easy. But if you stay too long inside my memory, I will trap you in a song tied to a melody and I will keep you there so you can't bother me. |

My band is playing a pretty big show that's being promoted very well by the best if our local radio stations. I guess that's good all though it seems the band is falling apart.
I don't generally get the feeling that I completely hate all my friends as much anymore.
I'm pretty healthy.
My ex seems to have moved far away so maybe I won't get toyed with her at random quite as much.
I may finally finish my album and maybe some people will listen to it or even like it.
I found out the old guitarist in my band is now as much of an alcoholic as I am. This really makes me laugh as he used to be completely straight edge, was always a complete dick to me and referred to me as "the alcoholic"
The drummer in my band and one of my closest friends didn't die from pneumonia when he was in the hospital suffering from it the last few weeks, although they said he was really close.
Another close friend didn't die when she struck an 18 wheeler going 60mph and she seems to have a rather positive outlook.
I may be able to help out a very unfortunate young girl that was just diagnosed with leukemia by helping to organize a benefit concert. I hope to get this put together soon and hopefully make a nice chunk of change for her.

Indeed - though it's huge fun when meeting snobby wanky "media" types and they do the "so what do you do question" to retaliate with the "I work in porn" and watch their faces.
I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was
just some b*stard with a torch, bringing me more work. |

Oh I see. Its all much clearer now. I can imagine it made quite fascinating work, but see your reasons for wanting to move away from it.

Oh and the reason I am happy is that now I can finally build a portfolio of work that won't potentially frighten future interviewers.

Ah - I can see how this would be confusing.
I used to be a webmistress for an adult site and the design work I do all used to be of an "adult nature" but now that I am working for a sister company due to internal poaching, I now work on proper stuff.
Make no mistake I am not offended by the adult stuff, in fact was one of the most liberating life choices I've ever made. If I had more time I'd give you my full verdict on the porn industry and why I chose to work in it, but that'll have to do for now.
The naked ladies are calling me.

Clergyman upset 'the Damned' gets to turn on X-mas lights
Associated Press
Nov. 18, 2004 08:40 AM
CAMBRIDGE, England - An English clergyman doesn't want a "Damned" Christmas.
The Rev. Stephen Leeke is criticizing officials in Cambridge for inviting the aging punk band, the Damned, to switch on the city's Christmas lights.
He says the Damned aren't known for looking at the positive side of life or Christian principles. Their songs from the mid-'70s include "Problem Child," "Smash It Up" and "Suicide." He says perhaps the Damned should turn off the Christmas lights instead. |

hehe. I'd show up Jop, if I were invited. And lived in the Netherlands.
"Seventh Seal" - The church painter is explaining why he is painting a mural about death.
Church Painter: Why should one always make people happy? It might be a good idea to scare them once in a while.
Jons: Then they'll close their eyes and refuse to look.
Church Painter: They'll look. A skull is more interesting than a naked woman.
Jons: If you do scare them...
Church Painter: Then they think.
Jons: And then?
Church Painter: They'll become more scared. |

Way to see the silver lining floop!
Agreed.
I just traded up from an Ampeg SJ12-R to a new Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb reissue.
I am thankful for this.
sell me your gently used 8-eye US9 (mens) classic smooth black Docs really cheap. I need them. I'm hard and I need boots. |

This year:
• I've bought my own house, so no more dealing with scumbag landlords
• I have two thoroughly entertaining and gorgeous cats
• I've rediscovered my passion for music - largely due to finally seeing the Pixies live for the first time
• I've had some ridiculously good fun
• I work with people I love
• Porn now only accounts for 20% of my work
• I've met some fascinating people both here and out in the real world

My wonderful, caring, understanding, funny, smart, sex god husband
My family... who I love and means so much to me
To be 30 and still have 3 grandparents I love that are still alive- a blessing
My health
A new job which I like better than any other job I've had in the past
To be over the fact I need a job to make my life
To have a life
To be lucky enough to take yoga 3x a week
To have an apartament and a car
To finally have the right combo of things that make me healthy mentally and physically
A spirtual grounding
Self awareness
To live in a cool place with cool radio stations
To live in a liberal state
The greatest band reformed
Some amazing person who helped get me tix for that band's first show
To see this band three times
To have made new friends from this forum
To still be able to dream
To still think for myself
To have the power to choose what happens to me and my body
To have not "sold out"
To laugh
To poke fun at myself
To still have a loving heart
To have paried in my younger days
To be aging gracefully yet still know how to have fun and go crazy
To be able to look in to the eyes of a person and not see color, social status, gender, ethnicty, sexual orientation
To have the stength and experience to know when to run when I am not being treated right
To have quit smoking
And to know... not in the forseeable future will I have to worry about not having a place to live or food to eat
