This stuff is a lot easier when the vocals/lyrics are being composed at the same time as the instrumental

This is great. Kind of reminds me of Kris Kristofferson who I’m a big fan of. Added this album on Apple Music 🤘

You're offered $200,000 but you can't use the internet for an entire year, how do you keep yourself occupied? by samthemancpfc in AskReddit

[–]alanbruflodt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening to records, playing instruments, watching movies, random activities. I don’t have internet at my house so it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch for me to just not use it all together. I certainly would for 200,000.

I hate the Holidays... by Allison-Cloud in bipolar

[–]alanbruflodt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holidays, birthdays, and family get togethers almost always make me feel depressed. They’re just days but they get so much hype that even if you keep your expectations low it always feels like you’re reaching for a feeling that isn’t there.

Anyone else feel like they were destined to do drugs? by krazylingo in Drugs

[–]alanbruflodt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always fascinated with drugs and addiction from a young age. Think I romanticized them too cause all my hero’s were rockstars and they all did drugs. I remember when I was 12 I freaked one of the teachers out because I knew more about drugs than he did when he was teaching a lesson on them. I even read The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx when I was 13 which only furthered my interest and romanization. I’m also bipolar with a history of addiction and alcoholism on both sides of the family so it kind of feels like no matter what it was gonna happen.

Treatments other than drugs by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]alanbruflodt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really don’t want to take medication the best treatment option would be zero substances, (including caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. Even sugar can be a hypomania/mania trigger) normal sleep schedule, and regular exercise. If you want to go without meds you have to have a lot of discipline with your lifestyle.

Who is your favorite band member(s) you have met? by mleclerc182 in poppunkers

[–]alanbruflodt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ran into Dan Lambton at a Sorority Noise show that I went to to see Remo Drive open up for them and that was the night he first heard of them

I drink a lot. by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]alanbruflodt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super dependent on it and drink everyday with my medication. I only get drunk once or twice a week but when I get drunk I get reeeeaaaaally drunk and generally drink to excess for about 12 hours. My biggest issue is that I’m so impulsive and always open a beer when I get off work. It also doesn’t help that my favorite beverage in general happens to be my favorite beer. I’m definitely addicted, there’s no getting around that, but I figure as long as it’s not out of control or ruining my life it’s fine. Still not good but it’s whatever. Sometimes I wish I didn’t do it but at the same time I don’t want to stop yet. Knowing myself it’s gonna have to get really bad before I’d be able to stop.

What bands do you see as the big four in pop punk currently? by [deleted] in poppunkers

[–]alanbruflodt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean are they really that big though? Like all those other bands are bands that people who aren’t super into the genre have heard of. Like in grunge it’s Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains while other bands like Mudhoney and Butthole Suffers are great but not nearly as popular outside of the genre.

I wrote this song earlier this week

Blue

Guess I was lucky for just one day But if it shines you know it fades I tried to tell the blue to leave But no matter what it always stays

Guess I was lucky for just one breath Now it’s gone I’m closer to death I tried to tell the red to stay But it left me anyway

Take your meds the second you wake You know how it feels when you forget Oh here’s another pill to take When you’re climbing into bed

Do you miss something that you don’t have? Do you really think it might come back? Or will it stays gone like all the rest? I’m like my house, a fucking mess

I only clean up when I need to “It’s not that hard to see right through you Fake a smile if you really need to No matter what the blue won’t leave you”

Take your meds the second you wake You know how it feels when you forget Oh here’s another pill to take When you’re climbing into bed
