I did a lot of shorts playing over drumless tracks (covers or backing tracks for drums) but deleted it all months ago.

I'll get around to the drumless stuff eventually, I'm sure, but I'm not a serious musician looking for stardom or income on youtube... so I'm not gonna study a song for days to perfect it, and then use my nine thousand dollar equipment to record me playing it in an airplane hanger with shadows casting on the walls and a huge fan in front of me or on an island in the pacific.

Remember, veg. I can't ever be too popular or liked because if i become a celebrity, everyone will find out I'm not a child molester and I'll be ruined. This is why i don't make friends with anyone and haven't since 2009.

Gotta lay kinda low then. Can't be a shining star or a great friend to anyone. Can't trust em. Might try to stab me.

Edited for first time readers not up on the gag. The joke is everyone thinks I'm a pedophile so I pretend to be to fuck with em in return. It can be incredibly fun.

I loved watching The Osbournes and he seemed really old and on his last legs even then and that was twenty years ago :lol:
I'm surprised he was only 76 but I suppose he couldn't be much older than that.
Whenever I've heard him interviewed he seemed to have some sort of speech impediment, brought on by drugs, perhaps.
I remember when someone told me he bit the head off a bat, the day after. Maybe he got a bad bite himself, on the tongue. He did have Parkinson's disease which likely affects speech, which may have been what caused his end.

He gave a concert recently, like a week or two ago, and promoted it as his last. Good timing.

Worth $220 million, I heard. Good manager. The public approved of his work, proven by capitalism.
I've always assumed that the bat biting incident was a myth, but having just done a bit of research, it turns out that it's true. Someone threw it on stage and Ozzy thought it was a rubber one, and so he bit into it, as you do. The person who threw it was named Mark Neal and it happened at Des Moines on 20th January 1982, according to this:

At the moment, I'm roughly eight months into playing again after not playing since 2006. But i don't ever and haven't ever practiced. I don't have patience for that nonsense. I just wanna ROCK, Maia!
Why hadn't you played for nearly 20 years?

Doesn't stop you from feeling sorry for yourself and trying to make others feel bad and sorry for you. You are as bad as Gary in that way. And just the fact that you keep insisting on calling me a 'veg' shows that you are just a **** who likes to be a ****, regardless of past dog-on-heat level sex drive behaviour.

I see nothing wrong with feeling sorry for oneself. The world is ultimately cruel and inhuman in the end to all of us. What's the point of denying others the ability to feel bad about that?

There's nothing wrong with it, but there is with being manipulative about it to make others feel bad.
By the way, many people are just as sad as you are and many much, much more so. They just prefer to keep their pain to themselves.

I don't mind if others share their pain. It doesn't disturb me in any way.

Never said it did. Perhaps you could learn to read.

My point is I don't mind if others don't keep their pain to themselves. Why keep it to oneself, essentially putting up a false front?

For their own reasons. You seem to think you are the only person in the world who is suffering. And some suffering is a lot deeper than not having a regular sex partner and being sexually unattractive :roll:

I have never said I think I'm the only one who suffers. I'm pretty sure just about everyone suffers in this world. You seem to enjoy attempting to read more into my statements than what is there. Why is that?

I'm going entirely by what you write. Hope that helps. You're welcome.

No you aren't going by what I write, you're adding your own false assumptions.

Whatever you say. I realise that your and prom's favourite topics of conversation are yourselves, but they aren't mine.
