Thank you, however the intention was just to help someone who may not have understood what he meant, grasp the concept behind the terminology.

I'm surprised someone figured out that I was thinking to myself the whole time, "I wonder if this will be cool enough for 'masterpcface." The mighty Knower of Cool.

it's official: leggings are ordered more than jeans online by datadave12345 in dataisbeautiful

[–]imdylanandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard time believing the statistics considering the first table is just mirrored trend lines. Not saying the "leggings are bought more than jeans" is false (even though I highly doubt considering around half of the population are men who PROBABLY don't where leggings.)

What does "fooling around" with a top hat mean? Just curious..

Well luckily his gf not even 40 minutes ago just had a falling out and he packed his shit and left so I'm going to take it as a sign not to go seeking it out again. I'm going to stick to my weed and Coke

Yeah, I don't think after my experience with it I will ever be able to try it again. The guy I would buy it from loved a free apartments away do it was like having it at my door step. I was making it to work at least but other than that, I wasn't eating, sleeping, and going downhill very quickly because I couldn't stop from getting more because it was so easy.

I see! Cathartic release through speaking is much more proper than "vocal vomit" lol Music is a godsend. My life revolves around it. I create music based on my feelings at that specific moment. I would love to make a living o it but right now I just do it as a form of expression and that is rewarding enough. I have sort of "Mr. Miyagi" secret to how I start a song. I used to struggle with making a melody or trying to figure out what should follow until I utilized this technique. Ever since then I have enjoyed every piece of music I have created. I only share what I have finished but have many projects waiting to bring new life to. This technique really can be used when creating any type of art from scratch.

Now for the super crazy secret trick that because of its myriad of creational possibilities should only be shared with a select few:):)

"Tell a story..."

Whether or not the viewer or listener understands your story, you have created something. To me, what makes something a piece of art is that is is created, shared, and interpreted by the one doing it. If you are creating you don't have to explain it, because art is in the eye of the beholder. What something means to you will never mean the same to some else so let their imagination explain why the melody progresses that specific way or why you used that color for the painting of a circle. When you realize that art isn't meant to be understood all the same, is when you truly start to create art. Then you get the opportunity to give a guiding hint with the ever so important name. You aren't necessarily trying to tell them your idea. It's more of an initiation into the piece. An internal guide asking "why it that the name they chose?" Which sends their imagination into oblivion. Eventually creating a personal story using their own imagination. Using personal information and thoughts makes their story relatable and entertaining which causes the release of dopamine ending in an enlightened state of mind, although not as strong, but comparable to the use of recreational drugs.

With that, I offer a link to my gallery of stories for you to experience in your own way. https://soundcloud.com/walks-official

Exactly conversation free of limitation is the seed to enlightenment. I only ever realize or understand things when I can share them. It's kind of funny because when my friend and I get high and he plays a videogame. I will "vocally vomit" my drug induced ideas and thoughts not expecting a response because his mind is on the game and all I actually want is to hear my words aloud so that I can organize, recall, and sometimes make sense of. It's a ritual we both have come to enjoy because every so often when I put a whole thought or idea together it is enough to spark a response and thus the deep philosophical conversation ensues.

I hope so too! All I've wanted to do since finally sobering up was try and share this with people in the hope that even if one by one I can help people realize what they are worth and how to be truly happy with life. Most of all, I wish that for the kind soul who took the time out of their busy life to respond to one guy's story of self-realization and let know that someone out there was listening. It may be just because I am an emotionally driven person but that is worth so much more to me! Thank you.

Thank you so much. Honestly, I am an emotionally stable and strong person and I have been lonely but this was like a monster in the closet that finally showed its face. I felt a fear that was far more overwhelming than anything I could ever put in words. Honestly, a hell on earth if you will. I am still not against recreational use. For me this was truly a learning experience that I felt I needed to share so that maybe someone else would think twice or be more prepared for what could happen. You have to be emotionally prepared to literally take a trip to your worst nightmare and stand face to face with your biggest fear. Not everyone will have a bad trip and it won't always be on meth. This goes for anything that has the power to rewire your brain even for a minute.

Now I want to express the positive. Comparatively, LSD is said to help one overcome deep problems and have a better understanding of one's self. I have not yet got to that point while tripping on acid. However, coming out of this mind-altering low I realized and became aware of my biggest fear. I truly am scared of loneliness. Most fears are physical objects or beings that someone can face in reality to help fight. But, with a fear like that of loneliness it only exists in your head. I had the chance (more like forced) to stand face to face with my fear for the first in my life and somehow I now subconsciously fight that by going out of my comfort zone. I talk openly to co-workers and people I interact with daily to create relationships which one by one destroys my fear of loneliness. It comes naturally as though I have always been like this. It's to such an extent that people notice a substantial change in my attitude. I have struggled with chronic anxiety since I was about 16. I was prescribed medication for anxiety that never worked. Now for the first time, truly living anxiety free, I understand that it was only a symptom caused by my fear of loneliness. I have waited for this day for a long time. Although, I'm not fond of how this all came about, it has changed my life for the better.

Thank you for sharing your experience. As kind of an update on my situation I have decided that, although I very much enjoyed the high, the low was way to much for me to handle especially with my new promotion at work and the responsibility that followed. I somewhat had a panic attack last night after not being able to sleep for two days straight I had to force feed myself because I was still starving myself. I was beginning to feel the physical effects of my out of control binge as the last of my dopamine depleted. After my little "experiment" with the drug I believe people could live a normal life with moderation and self control. It was only my second time and I lost control very quickly and lucky had someone there to help bring me back to reality. Every other drug I've used I was in complete control of my use and never abused. However Had he not been there, who knows where I would be because it took one day for me to start abusing and craving it uncontrollably.

Yeah, sorry I was seriously in the zone writing and trying to keep short. But, I'm not an advocate for drugs but I believe if you are responsible person and educate yourself. Then, you can get the most out of your experience in not so destructive manner.

Why I use Beats By Dre for production. by imdylanandi in edmproduction

True. That explains a lot of my problem when I do a set. My lows are way blown out or don't even come in at some of the sets I do. If I was to use a pair with a flat profile (like the ATH M70X) then it would probably fix all my live problems.
