I'm a mean-spirited, self-loathing, misanthropic, unemployed, homeless, drop-out, vagrant, alcoholic and evidently one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. At least that's what i'm told.
Some of you may get advice, some of you may get incoherent blocks of what you could guess to be english words, and some may just get angry tangents. Either way, read it. I don't care about your ratings of it - i'd rather know if my advice worked out.

How does one detach himself from all things?
I mean, they do say that attachment is the root of misery. (link)
|
I'd say it's a bit harder to do that in a modern society. When I think of detaching yourself from all things - I think of becoming completely self-reliant. Get rid of your possessions, quit your job, make your own food.
I spent a long time living between parks and cars. Diving for food then cooking it with whatever means I had. It can be really liberating, I had a lot of fun for quite some time. But even at that point you're reliant on others - if the bakery closed down, I wouldn't have anything to eat until I found some other place. If the police found me in the park, I get a fine - then a warrant - then jail. If the parking lot i'm sleeping in has security guards - I get thrown out and have to find some other place to sleep. If people don't like my music enough, I don't get enough tips for gas to go someplace else. My tent rips and I freeze at night - And so on. There's always something to worry about, there's always something to be a slave to. Not to say you can't take steps to release some of the burden on your life - but you're never going to be detached from everything.
My advice is just to be able to do as much as you can for yourself and to stop caring about little things. If your iPod breaks, sing the songs yourself instead.

OK so I am male/28 I've been with my BF for a year and a half (we're gay) and 3 nights go we had a massive argument.
In the heat of my rage I threw the contents of a glass of wine in his face, and then I made a run for it for the sake of my own safety.
We havent spoken since then, even though i have written him a long msg on facebook and told him we need to talk. He has taken most of his stuff and the only times he makes contact is to say something spiteful on SMS.
We live together and so the rent is our joint responsibility. I just about afford it on my own, but i wouldnt really have much money over to life the life I used to. My question is, should he continue to pay for the rent cos he choose to move out? If so, for how long?
Also i'm still not 100% sure that is definately over but the more time passes the more sure it is looking.
Please give me advice. THanks (link)

If his name is on the lease, then the rent is his responsibility for the remainder of the term. If it's not, then he won't suffer any consequences of just leaving and not paying rent anymore.

I need to learn how to do it better. Ive done it once and I need some SERIOUS help. If anyone could give me some advice or point me in the right direction

You don't have to emulate someone else, do what you can that sounds good with the music. If you absolutely feel you need to produce the sounds of Tom Waits doing a duet with a bear - you can always run your microphone through distortion. When I need to get really deep grainy sounds I use the transmitter from an old CB radio along with a yamaha stomp box. Any cheap microphone with a bad high range and a cheap distortion pedal - combined with an equalizer should treat you well in that situation.

So recently i've been watching a lot of comedy (stage comedy; Larry the Cable guy, ron White, Dane Cook, etc. I've been inspired to start something on my own. I can be pretty funny at random moments, but not quite stage comedy. So heres a few questions on the subject. 1: Do comedians wing it on stage? 2: are the stories they tell real, fake or juist partially altered?
3: How can I imporve my comedy? (link)
|
Some comedians just work with what they're given on stage. Lewis Black claims not to even write jokes, but to rather just go into a long rant while he's doing stand-up. However some comedians write out their sets entirely and just recite them.
Some of the stories are real, some are fake, some are altered.
As far as 'improving' your comedy goes, I don't really think that can happen. You can work on delivery and stage prescience, and re-write jokes a million times - and sometimes even if the jokes you're telling aren't all that funny, those things can save you. Go to some shady little comedy club or an open mic and try out some stuff, find your niche.

I am a 41 year old man. I have been divorced for 5 yrs. I have been dating a woman on and off for the same five years. We had split it off about a yr and a half ago. I missed her very bad and had began seeing another woman. She started coming around my house and kept trying to get me back. Finally I gave in and blew it off with the other girl. We started seeing each other again and I ended up asking her to marry me last year in Feb.
I have a 16 yr old son who lives with me. He has been thru alot since the divorce. His mom not only walked out on me, but also the kids. My daughter is now 21 and on her own. My son is a big concern.
Last year I purchased a home about 30 miles away in the hometown of my fiance and she moved in with me. My son was upset about the move but in the year since, he has come to love our new town.
My fiance and came up with a financial agreement that She'd pay the mortgage of $1300/month and I'd pay the rest of the bills which total about $2000/month.
Here's the big issue. We used to have a pretty decent sex life except for the fact that she will not give oral sex. The rest of the relationship I thought was good enough that I thought I could probably look past it. I love oral, both giving and receiving.
Our relationship, though not perfect, is extremely good and we are best friends. Except, now she is not interested in sex at all and she's decided that we can have sex every other night. There is no flexibility in this with her. And when its MY NIGHT, then she says to hurry up and let her know when I'm ready. There is no foreplay, no arrousal. She doesn't even participate, at all. Now she don't even let me give her oral, though I'm good at it and she orgasm's every time.
She says I have the problem. It's to the point that I don't want to do anything at all or even be around her if it's not MY NIGHT. I long for passion and romance and she gives me none.
I've tried to talk to her but she refuses point blank to talk about it. I'm very unhappy and very unfulfilled in this relationship.
Two things worry me the most. My son, who has been through so much, is finally beginning to feel stable. If I dump her, then he's hurt again.
Secondly, I love my home very much, though, had we not made a plan, I wouldn't have bought it. It takes both incomes to manage the bills.
I really love her. Either I dump her or resign myself to an unfulfilled sex life.
Also, I've been cheating on her with a 29 yr old. (she's 45). The 29 year old is a freak in the sack and satisfies me immensly. I'm not making a decision based on my affair, but I can't take it anymore. I hate drama, and breaking up is big drama.
I see no more use. She just don't satisfy me. I don't like cheating and can and would be faithful to someone who put a small effort into pleasing me. I think a lazy lover who does not even try to please me is in way being unfaithful.
Is dumpsville the enevitable? Or am I being unreasonable and should change my thinking? (link)
|
This is a hell of a question.
Okay - so sex means a lot to you. She doesn't have any interest in it, and she won't talk about why.
Maybe you need to explain to her the severity of the situation to get her to talk? If she still won't talk after that, maybe cutting it off is the right thing for you.
Although maybe you should explore other reasons to be happy with the relationship? I understand that sex can be important to people, but for this woman to be your fiance i'd assume that there has to be something more there? Assuming it exists - once you discover what that is, you can maybe focus on something else. Or at the very least hang onto it for your sons sake.
If none of that works out you need to just weigh out the effects of each decision and choose something.

I play guitar and I really love to sing. I can sing okay to most songs. Some I do better than others. How can I improve my singing?
Thanks (link)

(Like Fordmann said) Going up or down an octave to match your voice is your best bet. If you have a really hard time with it still, you can always try to change the key to something a bit more friendly to you, just don't forget to change the key of the instrumental part too if you do that. Practice like hell - and if your range means anything to you, don't smoke. I've been an on-and-off smoker for years, and when I haven't been smoking (for months+) I have a drastically higher range then when I do smoke.

Iam 19 years old and about 2 weeks ago i ran away becouse i got mad at my mom and now iam not even staying at my mom's house anymore i've been staying at my cousins hosue so i can get a break from being around my mom to give us time apart from each other. I also have other problems ever since i've been hanging around my sister snd her gay girlfriend i havn't been acting myself lately i've been doing things that i wouldn't normally do like a few days after i had turned 19 i was curious about what my sister liked about having sex with girls and so my sister let me have sex with her girfriend and then awhile ago i got drunk and before i started hanging out with her i wouldn't do things like that and i love my sister and i don't want to stop hanging out with her becouse i don't want to hurt her feelings what should i do? (link)

Do what you want to do. If you view things like having sex with girls and drinking as bad things - don't do them. If you like doing them - do them. A lot of times when people reach a certain point in their life (i.e. leaving your parents house, turning 18, moving to a new city) they feel (or create) an urge to do new or different things. Unless your sister is forcing you to do those things then you're just using that connection as a means to justify your actions. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to drink, have sex -or anything- to be around them. Decide your own values and act on them.

Hey there :)
Does anybody have a clue where I can watch the film adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel "The Return Of The Natvie" online (preferably)?
I have googled it several times typing in different combinations of possible searches but no such luck!
I have an exam on this next week so if anybody could answer this soonish I would be very grateful!
Thanks

I've looked around for it and found nothing. It exists (according to wikipiedia) but it's a made-for-tv movie, so-good luck. You're probably better off reading the book.

I want to take a dancing class this summer because I suck at dancing on account of me having "white girl rhythm"... lol It does not matter what kind of dance, but I was just wondering if a certain genre of dancing is a little easier. (I was thinking of either taking Broadway dancing Beg. or Hip Hop beg...) Any ideas? (link)
| |
Just dance, it's a form of expression - you can't really do it wrong. Whatever you feel like doing when you hear music - just do it

i have had colitis once before. COuld someone tell me the difference between colitis symtoms and diaherra (sp?) symtoms and how to get rid of them!!!! plz! (link)
|
Diarrhea doesn't really have symptoms, it's just excessive bowel movements. Usually very loose or liquid ones at that.
Colitis usually involves a lot of pains or cramps, especially involving your colon - and a fever.
If you're not going to see a doctor for it, i'd recommend eating less carbohydrates and lactose, and stay hydrated.

Does anybody know about how much a good quality acoustic guitar costs? I've been playing for about 5 years on my cheap "just starting out" guitar and I think it's time for an upgrade. The only problem is, I really don't know what I'm looking for. I've already googled it, but obviously that didn't help considering I, once again, don't know what I should be looking for in a quality guitar.
So, does anyone have any recommendations? Any links (other than google) would be much appreciated, but I'd also prefer someone who knows what they're talking about to answer...
Thanks! (link)
|
It depends on what you like in a guitar and how much you're willing to spend. I still play my "just starting out" guitar - but I do own quite a few others.
Seagulls-
(http://www.seagullguitars.com/productoriginal.htm)
Are really nice and fun to play, that model is fairly decently priced and will treat you well. I had a roommate who owned one and I played it more than any guitar I own.
Ovations-
(http://www.ovationguitars.com/?fa=detail&mid=1806)
Produce a really different sound, they look kind of cheap and they're hard to play without a strap (unless you're sitting down). They are however, my favorite brand of acoustic guitars. Really recommended.
Alvarez-
(http://www.alvarezguitars.com/prod_page.php?SeriesID=4&ItemID=75)
Are the least recommended of the three, but they are still really good for the money. I know a lot of traveling folk musicians and a good deal of them use Alvarez.
However! No advice anyone here can give you is going to be more beneficial than you going down to your local music store and trying out guitars yourself. Everyone wants different things out of their instrument.
Good luck.

after drinking the first time is it possible your eyes get puffed up and red from that? (link)

Yeah, but it shouldn't last amazingly long. I'd get it checked out if it lasts more than a day or two.

I think the biggest realization you can make in life is that some things aren't meant to be. In ending a relationship you have to determine if you'd ever consider being with that person again, and then determine if there's a chance of that. If the person doesn't want to be with you for whatever reason - getting back with that person is more than likely going to be unhealthy. Then your new relationship is probably going to end badly, and you've either lost the relationship or have to rebuild it with that person. Sometimes you just have to get over things and realize that you'll find someone else who you can have a much more healthy relationship with.
How do you move on? That's up to you. Don't think about it, or just try to come to terms with it. Go out and meet new people. Everyone gets over things differently.

and i really hate the sun. i hate going outside, and i wait until night to get outside-active and stuff. well, my parents are pressuring me to get a job as a lifeguard. summers almost halfway over and i still dont have a job. they think i could be a good lifeguard, if i just got outside and got a tan. they say if i do get the job, im going to be outside all day everyday and that if i dont like the sun, to just get over it.
what should i do? i hate it outside! i hate bugs, i hate heat, i wear all black so i cant just go on a walk and i hate the sun and the brightness! any thoughts on something that might help???? thanks! (link)
|
A job as a lifeguard is probably not for you. If for no other reason than these two.
#1)You'll be outside all day, every day - which is something you hate.
#2)You'll be in the sun all day, every day - which is something you hate.
Maybe try for a different job?
As for going on a walk - you can always wear sunglasses for the sun. And colors that don't conduct heat as much do exist, and they make clothes in those colors too. So that's really a non-issue.
