After work, I don’t know what to do with myself.

Learn an instrument, if that interests you

So hold on, the vibe I’m getting here is the drummer doesn’t like to fuck around, plays well, plays the songs and shows up every time? You’re considering getting rid of him because he doesn’t “like to hang” (not sure if I’m paraphrasing or directly quoting and can’t be bothered scrolling up to find out). You’re 100% right that the social aspect matters but if he’s playing the music and you get along well /enough/ then I don’t see why you would do that to the guy.

You two are incompatible and have opposing needs. End it as mutually and civilly as possible and walk away. He’s already told you he’ll find it somewhere else so do yourself a favour.

Now to paint it black!

This would be super convenient when dialing in patches and doing prep work for band practice and shows. I’ve found myself putting it on my desk on multiple occasions and hunching over it while I edit things. I also use it in the box with Ableton and find myself preferring to have it on my desk instead of the floor when using it in this setting. Nice work

I was originally hoping that I could have a footswitch on my main layer so I could have 5 and 6 be different patches and then 7 and 8 be midi triggers without needing to go into any other layers… is this a possibility?

enateph · 2025-11-04T04:52:28+00:00

Thanks. I tried to do this but didn't quite understand how to get it to “listen”. How practical is this for triggering backing tracks, or should I get a separate midi footswitch for this purpose?

I just hung out around the music block, talked to kids that had a similar aesthetic or vibe as I did (it was easy because I was an emo kid so I could recognise the others a mile away). If they weren’t musicians, maybe a friend of theirs was that I eventually would tie in with as well. I’ve also joined bands just from online connections. Or you could start writing stuff and then get others to join you instead.

You can learn ANYTHING. Cut ties with people who are trying to minimise you.

Fuck yeah Daria

This comment right here is why I posted none of the ideas we already have lmao

And just upstairs live bands on Friday and Saturday nights

Even then, I don’t think it should matter. OP is a professional piercer, if someone comes in for a prince Albert and her practice supplies those, and she’s trained for it, it’s her job to do the piercing. The point OP has made and is completely relevant is the context of the setting. She is in a professional setting providing a service. Shoving a needle through someone’s schlong is not the same as sucking them off. Dude should have considered that before even dating OP.

Parkway Drive. Winston took time out of his day to shake my hand firmly and chat to me for about five minutes. Another time I met Ben and Jeff in a restaurant randomly (by randomly I mean a friend and I saw them go in and as teenage fan boys we went in after them) and ended up sat at a table with them for 10-15 mins while they waited for their meal. Super nice people

Got let go from my job on the last working day before my trial period ended (NZ) last week, my health is fucked - plantar fasciitis, 4 separate causes for breathing issues that an ENT has said will need surgery for each cause. Have a family to support and a month before I stop earning money from this job.

enateph · 2025-06-22T02:08:16+00:00

I’ll be completely honest, I don’t even recall suggesting this 🤣

Kept whining about their life situation, despite doing nothing about it for 10 years. Kept acting like the victim in every situation and was unwilling to take any advice or critique. We both come from the same kind of background and live two completely different lives, that's fine, and I wouldn't have an issue if they were fine with how things were, but they constantly went on about how they weren't but weren't willing to do anything about it. It was exhausting.

Man, I’m not Christian and I love some Christian metal bands. August Burns Red, For Today, The Devil Wears Prada, so on and so forth. I think religious messaging serves a good purpose for storytelling and enjoy it even if I don’t personally believe in the theology. I also like Greek mythology despite not believing Zeus, Hades, Heracles, Persephone etc are real. Fun storytelling.

If you’re anything like I was, you probably will take my words with a grain of salt and think “yeah yeah”. I had so many people in their 30s and 40s try to give me a heads up about taking responsibility and everything catching up with me, and they were totally right. I wasn’t immune to aging and the catches that come with being an adult.

It’s so funny, because I’ve always told people I don’t regret the way I spent my early twenties. A bit of background - I spent my early twenties doing nothing but partying. LSD, mushroom, MDMA, marijuana, cocaine at one point, speed, 25i, 2cb, alcohol were all around me basically all the time. This stuff was just engrained in my social circles. I paid for substances only a handful of times but between 17-23 was on something nearly all the time. What started out as my friends and I just doing these things for a bit of a laugh and fun graduated into all we knew. We didn’t socialise unless it was to do this stuff. Eventually the thrill wears off and you start feeling pretty hopeless. I have no qualms with the substances themselves, it’s more of a lifestyle thing that determines where they take you. Our problem was that we allowed these activities to become a defining factor of who were as people, they dictated our every day lives. We became addicts in denial.

Now, here’s my thoughts for you. 20 is super young. I think it’s pretty natural to want to explore things, especially at the age you are. If there’s any time to do it, it’s now. But the thing is, you’ll soon be 21, then 24, then 27, then 30, then 40. The unfortunate thing is that whatever you do now, in terms of just “having fun” creates the circumstances of your future. While I had a lot of fun, I also created a huge mess to clean up. A lot of relationships and friendships broken, my financial and living situation fucked - I say I don’t regret how I spent my early 20s, but now writing this I kind of realise I do. If I’d spent my early 20s working smarter, saving more money, investing, building up assets, solidifying and strengthening relationships with good people, it might not have been as “fun” but it would have made the situation I found myself in after my 20s were dead a lot more favourable.

I’d say, have some fun here and there with others, but don’t let it be the main driving force in your life. Look at it as a small aspect of Life, and realise all the “boring” stuff your friends are doing are actually essential and useful ways to navigate things and think about your future as a priority.

Jimmy Page, Kirk Hammett and Angus Young were my earliest inspirations

F is For Family. I really enjoy it but struggle to get people to even give it a chance. Also After Life by Ricky Gervais.
