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

i was wondering if anyone knew how to add cellphone number to your buddylist so i cant text them from my computer.

+13145555555


and there ya go.

Okay if i reinstall itunes will i lose all my songs that i have in my library and all the songs that i bought from itunes??

Thanks

No. I had to do the exact same thing. The songs are saved in your computer as iTunes files already, and so they stay as iTunes files. The only way to get rid of songs is to drag delete them or put them in the trash (recycle bin on windows).

I have a mini ipod, but i only have like the car charger, i can plug it into the computer to get my songs and such, and to charge it, or charge it through my car. But When i plug it into MY computer, i left it over night and next night it said low battery and died! Im thinking it might be because i do itunes and all that on my friends computer because i dont have windows xp or 2000. does anyone know why it wont work through my computer? i will rate and give feedback

ok i don't have a mini, i have a shuffle, but you still charge it through a USB port don't u? anyway, u have to have a USB 2.0 to charge them, and 2.0's came out in about 2000, so u have to have a computer that was built in like the last 5 years. . .

hope i helped

so im a freshman in high school.
ive never been kissed before.
i really dont have any guys friends.
ive had a bf before but that was back in middle school.
i wanna know, are there any REALISTIC ways to get involved with more guys and friendships.
please dont say; just talk to them
becuase im not like that exactly.
i like this kid, sorta, and we talk sometimes
are there any signs i can look for to see if hes into me or anything.
i'll rate

let me tell you this:

different guys have different methods of letting you know they like you. trust me. I am one.

one of the ways i let a girl know i like her is smiling and making eye contact. also, if when he's talking to you it's pretty casual and not awkward, that's a good sign.

hope i helped

Hey guys,
I want guys to answer this one k? or grls but i think guys would make the most sence lol. Any way I was wondering what makes a girl likable or attractive? (and i dont mean shallow stuff like giant boobs!!! or anything, even though....we all know that doesn't hurt tehe) Like what kind of clothes? Hair up or down? Like....idk just what pysical and little quirks (cute little things she does) makes a girl attractive?
ok much love guys...and girls ;)

clothes: idk. . . not trashy, but not too sophisticated that you look like a snob. . .

hair: i always think down looks better. . .that's just me.

little quirks: smiles a lot. . .good sense of humor, not necessarily gorgeous (although it is a nice little perk), makes eye contact, and just an all around good personality. . .

there really won't be any answers that are the same. . . it's different people's opinions on the subject that will change it, but these are my opinions. . . it just depends on the kind of person.

i hope i helped.
