My thoughts are with you both .

And from what I read above you too, and likewise.

not so. now that so much of everything that is published is only done so online, vast swathes of recent history will be deleted with the click of a mouse or the corruption of a net server in future. In 2100 archaeologists won't be able to recreate a webpage from 100 years before; and I doubt google will be caching blogs.

if ya'll had any sense you'd destroy your DAW and get outdoors, climb a mountain, make love in a field and experience life everyday that you have it. Even if you are disabled, take your wheelchair out for a spin in the park. Don't just wallow in the hand that life has dealt you. The age of the internet hermit is a very sad one indeed. The Ableton/XBOX generation are hiding in their bedrooms from life itself.

At least we'll all be rotting in the ground together - including Donald Trump. George Bush and Simon Cowell.


People who moan with negativity should be taken out and shot. We are ALL hurting - but if you can't get on with life with a smile on your face, you deserve nobody's sympathy. Certainly no thanks for your cynical attempts to drag others into your well of sorrow. Perhaps it makes you feel better to make other people feel bad ... that says a lot about the karma you thrive on.

Erm... isn't your whole post moaning about negativity?

"about" not "with".

I'm a firm believer that it is everyone's cosmic duty to maintain a positive mental attitude in the face of whatever adversity they perceive burdens them.

if you do feel shit, don't try to rub it off on others so as they feel shit too.

I partially agree with you. However I do think moaning about what people have revealed on here still constitutes negativity.

Well I could chime in with my own bag of troubles ... but then I'd be breaking cosmic rule number one.

You already did. You came on a thread where someone was asking for sympathy, and told them to STFU put on a happy face! Good job of spreading negativity.
My parents and me would run into hippies with the attitude you show occasionally, basically ego centric positivity nazis. Despised the smarmy attitude then, and it still smells today.
Here's the main gist karma preacher, you're doing nothing more than comparing your thoughts, feelings and actions to other people, and publicly declaring that you're way of thinking is superior, and the funniest most absolutely gut laugh inducing part is you think it's in our best interest that you tell us that we should be more like you. The truth is you are more negative in a much more damaging way than any other post here. You are telling people it's wrong to feel.
Oh wait, sorry, it's OK to feel, but keep it all inside would you?

I'm sorry but that is possibly THE dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say "everyone needs a little cancer...it's good for you???"....I wonder if he said that before or after his wife died of liver cancer, wonder if he thought it was good for his wife to have liver cancer and die from it...yeah, that's good for ya honey...good for me too.

Ummm, maybe it seems dumb to you because you are interpreting it literally. If you understood the hyperbole, you would get it. Basically, he is saying, adversity can be good for people. Come on, man. Sheesh.

I can't think of something more ridiculous than coming on a thread on the internet looking for sympathy, or "feelings". Call the Samaritans or your local priest/rabbi/mullah if you've got issues; find a member of your family, buy a pet, consult the classifieds.

Otherwise, you are a moronic fruitcake to be relying on this superficial forum for some sort of emotional support. Most of the people on this forum are prize assholes, obsessed with wanting to be a DJ. Hardly a rich field of intelligence or emotional depth. It is cringeworthy that there are those like Machineswanking who proclaim this reaching out for sympathy to be a beautiful thing. More likely it is fakery, or worse still, it is someone with health problems who are compounding their ill health by spending all their time looking for emotional support on anonymous internet forums. Yuck.

In addition to that vast majority, there are then certain grandfatherly types who insist on patronising those on this forum with their wise words, moral high ground and calming wisdom ...

If I got problems, I shout at my TV.

Were you and your parents some sort of travelling variety act?

I would rather help someone to laugh a little, than blatantly insult someone for an innocent post. What's funny to me is you seem to exempt yourself from the group of "prize assholes" you categorize most of the people on this forum as. There's always people like you around, no matter where you go for support, ready to get off on criticising and judging someone under the guise of expressing your "opinion". Who the fuck are you to say where's right to post what's on your mind? I would like to see you call anyone on here a "moronic fruitcake" to their face. It's nice hiding behind a computer, isn't it?

by the way I was never looking for sympathies, it was more of a personal rant.

sympathies really help nothing, I say thank you for the sympathies because thats what a nice person does.

thats just for you the last one. negative and possitive are all perceptual anyway, who are you to say i was spreading negativity? maybe I was being super duper possitive about everyone dying.

Hi guys I am sorry about the pain some you are experiencing however the way things are go in this world God is our only hope sometimes when someone is suffering death can be a blessing for them. I am a war vet. and I know what death is I have seen it first hand we must all be thankful and try our best to help those who are less fortunate than we are. try to be positive and your music should reflect who you are and use it to educate someone. Help change the world and don't vote republican!

My aunt died lask week of a brain tumour, came totally out of the blue, she went into a coma and never recovered.

I have also lost about 8 friends in as many years thru drug related deaths(mainly suicide), none of them were above 28.

I have long since believed that music holds a special power that enables us to focus on all that is good and true in life(and the afterlife).

I am not religious and dont believe in God, but I believe in spiritual energy and I am sure that music is the doorway to inner peace.

I wish you luck and happiness for the rest of your days my friend, may they be fruitful and above all musical!
