about

i'm collin
hello to all of you who need advice (or perhaps would just like to say hi).

(that's where you say "hi collin!" but you don't have to because it might scare the people around you)

i'm a musician. i play bass, violin, mandolin, keyboards, guitars, drums, harmonica, xylophone, and just about everything else. i also sing lead for my band, the dirty fries, in st. louis, missouri.


my advice may be blunt sometimes, but you all will have to deal with it. i speak the truth, and the truth isn't always pretty.


i'll answer anything, too. as long as it's not something really idiotic like "OMG what color shirt should i wear tonight?!" because i don't answer that kind of crap. i'm a strong believer in there being no stupid questions, but honestly, those are not the sort of questions that should be posted on this website. plain and simple.


ask away
-collin



p.s. - anyone wondering where the numbers/letters in my username come from: they're the model number of my acoustic bass guitar.

advice

Will the iphone be avaliable at Cingular? And does anyone know how much it will cost?

it probably will, seeing as cingular/ATT is the carrier of the iphone and stuff so i would think so

4 GB is $499

8 GB is $599

I need website links for free music downloading.. I tried searching for them myself but most of it had some sort of payments to be made in them... I usually download music from wwww.yourmp3.com ..but then sometimes i end up in a fix coz the songs i downloaded would not be the full version and the link would be wrong and i end up downloading some other song....please help!!!

i'm gonna copy/paste this because it's basically the same answer

that's illegal, man



i would recommend emusic. you have to pay and use a credit card, but when you sign up you get 25 free songs, and all of them are compatible with ipods.


if that doesn't work, i would suggest itunes. downloading music for free is ILLEGAL, and you can get in a lot of trouble for it.

or listen to internet radio. DainBramage is good.

i was at school today and in latin, these boys behind me were talking with me and then one of them asked me if i would ever snob his knob. nob? i have no ideaaa...what does that mean!?!?

i hope you didn't say yes because he asked you to give him a blowjob.


guys sometimes use phrases that don't sound dirty but really are. it's fun, really, but sometimes can end cruelly.

on my myspace
i have the bottom links hidden
except it still says

on the bottom
how do i get rid of it?

you can't


that has to stay there. it shows that MySpace.com owns the rights to that page and everything on it, unless otherwise noted.


it's copyright information, and removing it can put you in some legal trouble.

is there any site where i can get free music? for example, music such as rock, indie, screamo, metal, poppunk, etc.

that's illegal, man



i would recommend emusic for indie and rock and such. you have to use a credit card, but when you sign up you get 25 free songs, and all of them are compatible with ipods.

why are some guys are players? and do you think nice guys arent that attractive because they are"nice"?

ok well this is actually kinda complicated but i'll try to explain


first off, some guys are players because they're just plain selfish. they feel they're not getting enough out of ONE relationship (like making out or sex or anything like that), so they have two or more. myself being a guy, i don't think it's right when other guys cheat or do stuff just so they can get laid.

the next thing: not all nice guys are unattractive. with what i'm told, i'm a really nice guy. and i've also been told by quite a few people that i'm incredibly good looking. (sure that sounds vain, but it's the truth). it's just a myth that all the good looking guys are players. maybe you just don't know any of them that aren't.


there ya go

this is sooo wierd... i gave this guy a blow job but he didnt cum. is that normal??

hmmm


well it depends really. there's two things that could've happened.

1. he dry orgasmed. guys sometimes do that. he gets the feeling of an orgasm, but nothing comes out.

2. he didn't orgasm. guys only cum if they orgasm.


that's about all i can tell you, really. dry orgasms are somewhat normal, but what probably happened is that he just didn't orgasm.


there ya go

how do you say yes ?
and like
how does someone ask will you go out with me ?
wanna be my gf?
or what !?
helpppp

well, if you really want to go out with them too, just look them in the eyes, smile, and say yes.

usually i try to just flat out ask "do you want to go out with me?"

i know other people that ask it in more of an indirect manner, like "we should hang out" and stuff like that

just do what feels right to you.

My bf and I have been dating for 3 weeks, we started dating at the end of school so we don't get to see each other much cause he can't come to my house or anything and my parents wont let me go out anywhere.
We call each other ocasionally (well I call him)
and we talk for a couple of hours
At first, he was hard to work with because he doesn't trust anyone
But I earned his trust, and now we're really good.
I like him a whole lot & I don't want us to end up fighting all the time.
Lately, he hasn't called/answered my calls
or messaged/answered my messages
today I read his messages from other people
and some girl said

we can still be friends but there are limitations.. dont send me a message more then 3 times a day unless im talking. stop poking me..dont call my cell b/c im running out of minutes..

to him
I dunno if it's an ex or what
but it kind of scares me
I trust him enough not to cheat on me
But I just want to know what you think of this


(SORRY FOR THE LENGHT)

hmmm


i don't think he's cheating

it sounds like an ex. that's the sort of thing exes say "we can still be friends but there are limitations." just looks like he's hung op on this girl.

but i do think there's an issue with you trusting him if you're reading his messages.

okay well i saw you answer someone elses question. and i have a problem of my own... well okayy so wen anyone asks me who i like i say i dont like anyone. well, i dont know if i do. there's a ton of people i think i might be stuck between, but i dont know if i like them or not? one guy is younger than me and i met him about 3 weeks ago. we talk all the time now and hes so sweet, another guy older than me (we talk a lot online and someitmes in person) we used to hang out a lot as friends but not anymore, another guy older than me (we talk a lot online but hes shy in person). do you think i actually have feelings for them or wat? i noe this is really lame but i think it might show you wat situation im in. well i was having a sleep over with my best friend and before we went to bed we talked about guys in general and that in our dream "the guy" was gonna show up and we would know who we liked. i woke up and my friend dreamt about one guy but i dreamt about all those three guys. and its not random because i think i have feeling for all of them. im really confused because im usually the person telling people that they cant like 2 people at once.

sorry for it being so long and i appreciate ur help ;)

hmmm this is a hard one

well with the way you've described them, it seems that you DO like all three of these guys. it's happened to me before, and the best way to deal with it is to just hang out with all three of them separately. you'll eventually start having stronger feelings for one of them, and that's just the way it goes.


thanks for picking me by the way

I like this guy and i think he likes me back but I am not sure. Anyhoo I was wondering if there are any flirty things i can do or say when I am with him to hint that I like him.

Thanks

look him in the eyes and smile
compliment his looks/personality/clothes
tell stupid jokes
just be nice to him


if you really like the guy, just tell him. we guys love it when girls do that.

How do you make out? Any tips? Please don't just tell me that it comes naturally, I want to know how exaclty...

Tongue movement
How not to make it awqward
Where to put your hands
Anything extra ...

Thanks

1. your tongue should just playfully touch his. don't shove it in to his mouth, just stick it out a little. he'll probably do the same. run it along his teeth or his tongue.

2. just don't do it in front of a bunch of people or in a public place. it won't be awkward if you really like the guy.

3. just put them around him, like around his neck. you can also run them through his hair, down his back, that kinda thing.

4. just remember don't shove your tongue down his throat and BREATHE! you have to breathe through your nose otherwise it gets awkward.

there this boy that i liked for a while and well i found out that he had move and i was shock and everything and i still have feelings for him. So how do i get over him what should i do.

hmmm

well if i understand your question correctly, he moved away? but you still like him?


ok well what i'd do is just go hang out with friends and find someone new i liked. sure you might not find somebody right away, but you can't get a good relationship just like that *snaps fingers*. it took me quite a while to end up in the great relationship i'm in right now. . .

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend about 3 weeks ago. he seems crazy about me, i never ever guessed that he would even think about kissing another girl. but last night he kissed one of my good friends, then grabbed her boob. and masterbated like in front of her.

i really dont want ot break up with him but if i have to i will.

what should i do?>

to be honest, he seems to me to be one of those stereotypical guys. you know, the ones that are only out to get in your pants or to get a piece of ass.

i'm a guy myself. and all i can say is that he's a jackass. he cheated on you, and went to 2nd base with your friend. that's not right, and if i were in your place he'd be long gone.

I went out with this guy months ago. He broke up with me because he thought I liked someone else(not true). He found a new gf but we're still friends. We talk on the phone every night for hours. I have a feeling that he still likes me because when we talk on the phone he always makes really flirty remarks like he'll say "I want a girl here with me to hang out with" Then I'll say "your gf?". Then he says "no, you". He always tells me that he likes his gf, but not as much as he likes me, and that he's going to break up with her. I don't think I ever stopped likeing him and he didn't stop liking me, but I don't want to be the cause of any breakup. He's the perfect guy and I do like him but I don't know what to say when he says he's going to break up with his gf. What should I do?

ok i've been in a somewhat similar situation.

at my girlfriend's school, she has quite a few people who blame her for my breakup with my ex, who also goes to said school. my ex hates her now, even though she's not the reason we broke up.

he obviously likes you, and you like him too apparently. if he does break up, you guys will need to wait a while before you go out. at least a month, i'd say.

how do u helps scabs heal faster. and can u make them less red somehow?

rubbing alcohol dries them up. put it on a rag and hold it there for a while. they dry up and then go away faster.

the redness is just an after effect. i don't know what to tell you for that

[view]

i have this really bad habit of picking my pimples. and then they scab and wen they scab i keep picking them. then my face is red wen im swimming aka not wearing makeup. how do i stop pickingg?

the only way to get rid of bad habits is to replace them with a new habit, but one that's not a bad one. whenever you notice yourself doing it, try doing something else, like tapping your fingers on a table or tapping your feet or something.

i used to do the same thing, and then i did that and it worked.

there ya go
