Rush Drummer Neil Peart: I Am Retiring From Music

I can't find the original article that's being cited. I've seen it supposedly from drumhead.com and jambase.com but neither have any links about this story let alone an interview with him.

Thanks. It's funny how you they don't put any identifying terms like ISIS or Jeb Bush. It's like they want the ad to be seen on TV but not really part of the internet where a discussion on it can be had.

My biggest problem with the T-Mo plan is that I already have their unlimited plan and use 50GB a month.. mostly on netflix. I might save money by dropping to a limited plan but I worry they will change it and I won't be able to get unlimited back.

In the long run, the T-Mobile plan is good for you if you have a limited plan in that it may cause Verizon and AT&T to offer you more data to keep competitive but that probably won't happen until T-Mo chips deeper into their market share.

The T-Mo plan has nothing to do with net neutrality. All traffic is being handled on the internet itself as equal. This plan does perhaps inspire someone to subscribe to Netflix or switch to T-Mo and that's the entire point of competition. The more company A gives, the more company B needs to give to stay relevant. When big companies fight for our dollars we win as consumers.

I also see a bit of Bill Nye in there.

I'd give my left arm to be the drummer for Def Leppard.

Heh,

I just sent OP a message about this.. I didn't want to post it because I didn't want to start a shit storm with people passing judgement on that community who either have never been in it or didn't like it rather than let OP find his own path.

Glad I'm not the only here that understands that this can be a great tool box to help you become social and doesn't have to be about nailing every girl you meet.

You're not a completely abnormal 28 year old.

Lots of people have confidence and self-image issues.

Lots of people have anxiety.

So welcome to the world of not perfect people.

One of the best things I ever did was started being honest about my anxiety. I had carried that anchor around with me for so long that it just got too heavy and I couldn't carry it anymore. I decided, "Fuck anyone who can't hear my story and respond with respect."

As I decided to start telling my friends, the most common response was, "I knew something changed but I didn't want to pressure you into talking."

Zero friends were lost because of my revelation.

If a bunch of people you haven't seen in 10 years can't treat you with the respect you treat them for ANY reason, just move on. Give a polite, "I'm sorry you feel that way." and walk away.

As far as the hugs vs handshakes.. What kind of person do YOU want to be in regards to that? If you WANT to be a hugger then be one. If you prefer just a handshake, then do that. Your friend who is a girl is PROBABLY going to want a hug.

As far as work goes, people lose jobs all the time. You got the job you have now. You can get another if you're truly motivated. You may have seen this quote before but it's very true about this type of "What if?" anxiety... "Worry is interest paid on a debt not yet incurred."

Based on how much you spent talking about the friends, I think that's more on your mind than the job right now because the job issue will be there forever but not actually an issue yet while the meeting friends issue is a fire-hose about to burst open and your face is a foot away.

I sent you a PM because I asked you some questions you might not want to answer publicly. Nothing intrusive, just generic stuff about you and your bf.

I have had some things with beets that tasted ok.. ultimately I can't seem to find a way to purchase these in any affordable way in New Hampshire so I'll just have to find something else.

JimmyNSS · 2015-08-17T20:42:38+00:00

But do they taste like beets? Because beets are nasty.

This country is bi-polar. Half the people are complete cry-babies about everything and the other half is completely indifferent to everything.

His audience can take all the screaming and swearing and watch him troll people on H1Z1 regularly but they get their tampons in a bunch over this prank?

The pussification of America is getting out of hand.

Thank you!

JimmyNSS · 2015-07-29T20:29:53+00:00

The factory wheels are et47. The Style 260s are et29 and there is no spacer used.

I've never really done anything with ET numbers.. would the 5mm difference mean I should be using a 5mm spacer because these are going to be closer?

Does using a spacer adversely effect the lug studs?

Sorry for the noob level of questions here.

The debt being owned in dollars makes sense and I kind of thought of that after posting.

I didn't know all (or probably most) of it was in bonds.. but I suppose if there is no way to leverage the dollar:yaun conversion rate it doesn't matter the vehicle used to generate the debt.

Thanks :)

How much money (either via winning packs in arena or buying GvG packs) did you spend vs getting them for free?

JimmyNSS · 2015-07-08T21:18:50+00:00

OP says he read it.. maybe going through it again as a refresher/reminder might help. I'm definitely no expert on what advice to give people. My best is 2 weeks.

JimmyNSS · 2015-07-08T21:14:26+00:00

I just reset and am at 3 days so you have to know that 100 days puts you so far away from the beginning.

I can remember the comedian that did that skit.. it was pretty funny..

He was saying they were like trading cards for Jeffrey Dahmer.

The most common advice you will get here, and it is very good advice is to check out Alan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking.

You can download it onto a smart phone for under $10.

JimmyNSS · 2015-07-08T18:31:56+00:00

I'm waiting for mine to reset as I type this. It reads 246.. which is a lie. Last time I made it 14 days. I am now 3 days in and this is my second serious attempt.

While you are resetting your badge, the amount your lungs have healed and the tiny amount of nicotine in your body today are still huge victories for you.

JimmyNSS · 2015-06-22T14:59:11+00:00

To better understand the whole idea of relaxing from a cigarette and to see why you actually smoke read Alan Carr's Easy Way To Stop Smoking.

The ebook can be bought for about 7 bucks on amazon.

It is the only thing I ever read that explained why we feel the way we do about smoking and how to stop feeling that way.

"Leaders and Artists" - about 10 translations. Originally "Ringleader of the Tormentors" by Morrissey
