Expression is what I live for. I pass the time on the computer, but I enjoy doing music-related things, such as going to concerts and hiding myself under thousands of downloads. Sometimes I write reviews for Ambitious-Outsiders and make T-Shirts and draw little pictures of things. Well, this is my column, I like talking so ask me something. It will give me something to do, and who knows, maybe I will help.

What is the difference between being Punk and being Gothic? Is it a style or what? Please explain. (link)
If you like punk music, you can be called punk.
If you like goth music, you can be called goth.
Punk-Ramones, Dead Kennedys, DOA, Sex Pistols, etc.
Goth-NIN, Skinny Puppy, Cradle, Carcass..etc.
But in all, labels are dumb and should be burned.

Does anyone know any websites that would have music you can listen to - without downloading? Thanks a bunch! (link)
Search for music on Windows Media player. CDzinc has many songs through there. Purevolume and MySpace are good for music too.


i'm 13/f and i'm thinking about getting contacts.

i'm a little freeked out about putting them in though. does anyone know any goos tips for putting in contact lenses?

~thanks (link)
I have had contacts since I was 13, (I'm 14), and it HIGHLY depends on the kind you get. I have high estigmatism (spelling?) and I needed hard, gas permeable ones that need cleaning and storing every day. For these, you should wear them little by little every day, increase the numbers of hours slowly. For the first few weeks, carry eye drops with you in case you feel your eyes are getting dry or there is something in them.

For putting them in: take the contact on your finger and with your other hand, pull down your bottom lid a little bit. Slowly, fit the contact right on the pupil, where you feel the center is. It takes practice, but you'll get so used to it, it will be second nature soon. I promise.

A few tips: Saliva has enzymes in it, so if you don't have eyedrops or cleanser nearby, and something gets in your eye, pop it out and swish it around your mouth a bit. (Only in desperate situations, and make sure your mouth is clean.)

Contacts are more responsibility but definetely better than glasses, well for me at least. Hope I helped.



i wna t wwhite peeps to answer this one. is it wrong to be a racist. (link)
By saying only white people can answer, it is racist in itself because you are saying that in all of history, only white people have been racist. But if you mean considering the history of white people in PARTICULAR being racist, I personally believe it is. Racism is wrong, no matter who's doing it.


ok, i enjoy thinking up movies...im fourteen years old, and everytime i watch a movie, i take into perspective camera angles, acting types...im more than likely going to be a film director when i get older...but anyway.. is there anyone who knows someone or a site that i can find out more about what all i need to do with this idea, like i know writting and stuff, but i would like to find out if anyone knows anyone with contacts so maybe i can get an email address to a good director (like Ridley Scott or Randell Wallace by any chance) so that i can contact them about my idea, and maybe even make it into a movie... thanks a ton, ill post the name once there is a chace it will be made! thanks a ton!

Ignore all these other hopeless people here. There is no lie in the fact that the movie business is a rigorous and sleazy one. A sophisticated art is translated to economic value and then measured as a success or failure in this way, which is pathetic.

It's hard to get into the business, but you can start by completing your scripts and getting your friends to act in movies. Film them with a video camera, and save up for a good one if you're very serious about making this work. Once you've completed this, look into local apportunities to present your work, like school film festivals, etc. Remember, the key to success is baby steps. It's cliche but everyone in the business got there somehow by going local first. It's gonna be hard, but if you're really serious, you can work at it. Hope I helped some.
