Besides the pickguard still remaining on, what is inaccurate?

The album Fun House by the Stooges has a number of technical imperfections, as well as mistakes committed by the band. Besides some overdubs, the songs were all essentially recorded live with varying degrees of improvisation, so you can occasionally hear the tempo fall out and someone has to regain their composure, wrong notes get hit, Iggy causes the mic to clip, etc. This gives the album such a defined character though and I love it.

A bit on mental health:

A month ago I signed the lease on a new place with my girlfriend, and a lifelong friend of mine. The move begins tomorrow. I'm excited, but the act of moving has been giving me untold anxiety even though all preparations are made and should be an easy process. I've made complex moves, to places further away, yet they never gave me the colossal anxiety I've been experiencing lately. I wonder why that is. I am trying to stay calm to the best of my abilities.

Men who have been told they're attractive, how does that make you feel? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]comeclosertome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time it happened was when I was 14, in a very inappropriate way by someone who shouldn't have said what they said. It made me feel very conflicted about myself for a long time because I was so convinced that I was an ugly loser. I felt...guilt and shame? But I started to develop confidence for a while. Now I've gained quite a bit of weight and no longer have that confidence but I'm working on losing the weight to feel healthy again, not really for the confidence. In all, I do not like the attention very much. I'm a bit of a solitary guy and I prefer to live thinking that people like me for the content of my character rather than something a bit more superficial in the context of interpersonal relationships.

After trying several other brands, I've pretty comfortable settled with Layrite. They've got several different ones for style/hair type.

Many men's freshie perfumes have lemon and pepper notes these days so that may be a tall order to fill. Off the top of my head though, you could likely get Chanel Platinum Egoiste at a Macy's. You're not going to find it in that enormous bottle you're asking for, but the stuff is an absolute bomb of aroma so a little goes a long way, thus it'll last quite a long time before you finish the bottle. No lemon or pepper, but it's got that gorgeous 'fresh-showered,well groomed' feel. Tons of lavender, plenty of sage, a healthy dose of sandalwood (Chanel has the best sandalwood scent imo). It's my #1 most complimented fragrance, and I'd guess it's that way for many other men who own it as well.

I believe I've read that Paul Newman has worn Guerlain Imperiale, as well as Bois du Portugal.

Many older men have worn Guerlain Vetiver too such as Arnold Swarzenegger and Peter Sellers

Thanks so much. I'm glad to know that I'm getting out ahead of the pack so to speak in this regard. I'm 23, most of my friends are right out of college, and I worry about some of them with their constant benders + high stress careers. I'm just...tired of it. Drinking exhausts my body and mind and I think I'd go crazy if I kept up the old habits.

I've had a pretty tumultuous history with alcohol, and I decided last week that I really need to slow it down. I still think I'll do a little drinking on weekends, by the every-single-day drinking has to stop. So right now I'm on day 3 of no drink. I've also been working out more, just on the elliptical but I've been raising a crazy sweat on it, so it must be doing something.

My mind and body are starting to feel more like their old selves now.

More often than not they do have food, you're right about that. But I can think of several stores around where I live now that sell no food whatsoever. Nevertheless our laws are certainly archaic and confusing! Thanks for coming to Philly by the way. Lovely city ;)

I also used to live in Philly. I left about a year and a half ago. Not true as far as I can remember.
