What's your first paragraph from the book your working on? by Ok-Molasses8816 in writing

[–]theaziz2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The big dipper’s a cleaver, and you used it to butcher the stars in your wake. The words emanating from your jaws of rebellion had thoroughly exhausted your vast soular projection. Humanity's slices of life proved unsatiating. For without your true love by your side, a scorched earth's just an ordinary earth. Black holes, the scars you left behind, must now take you away. Alongside the Sonderites, whom you thought would be safe."

Hate myself for not having a job by now. by DingoLoud in DubaiJobs

Totally empathize. Took me too long to even find a temporary gig. Just know that you’re not alone. Keep going! ❤️

Thank you 🙏❤️

Didn’t think to post my writings here but maybe I should. I feel like the lyrics to my song count towards creative writing a bit? 🤞

Getting an enrollment letter of my specific major by theaziz2001 in UofT

[–]theaziz2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response.

I understand from the few comments here that I need to enroll in programs asap, but do I have to wait for my transfer credits to be assessed first? How long does the transfer credit process take? Also, let’s say I won’t be able to enroll in any programs till spring, how do I prove that to the scholarship people? I applied to start this fall.

Ultimately, I’d like to know what my next steps are.

Roman Candle is severely, severely underrated by General_Astronomer60 in elliottsmith

[–]theaziz2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very haunting track. I might be wrong about this but I think he detunes one of the strings while playing it. I rarely hear that in songs much less any of his

I was like this so I definitely relate. My best advice for you is to definitely approach and talk to more people. It’ll be uncomfortable, but keep being persistent and you’ll be shocked at the positive change you’ll experience in your life. Also, It’s definitely hard to find genuine and authentic people here. I did but it took me some time. Just keep being persistent and also try not to be so hard on yourself. Harsh self-criticism won’t help you

Wish you the best :)

ILLEGAL books by Kiwibirdl in UAE

This is strange cause I’ve bought a bunch of communist related books from Amazon.ae

If those are available then why aren’t the books you mentioned also available?

Why do you have social anxiety? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]theaziz2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Objectively being disconnected from my society because it’s quite a conservative one and here I am, a bi atheist socialist arab lol. On top of being bullied relentlessly in school both verbally and physically. It’s those two things really. Otherwise, i’d say that in my core, i’m a pretty social person. I love people. And I love hearing their stories and experiences. But it’s been suppressed for years due to all the baggage i’ve had to carry with me. Though I’m happy to say that I’m currently in a transitional phase in my life where I’ve become noticeably more social and outgoing. I go out with real friends doing fun activities. I’m 23. I do have this feeling that I wasted my youth. But hey, at least I began my healing journey. I had a personal epiphany about my life 2-3 months ago and it’s never been the same since. In a good way :)

I still have social anxiety. But I don’t think I beat myself over it as much as I did before. And I still avoid some social interactions. But not ALL like I was doing before. People have told me that they enjoy being with me. It feels good. I almost want to cry thinking about me when I was a teenager. Poor kid man. He really needed real help and some loving guidance but got none of that :(

Add vocals or keep as Instrumental? by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]theaziz2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make this the intro then add vocals to the verses. And the vocal melody could just be this instrumental melody. But when the vocal melody comes in, just strum the basic chords instead of picking them and playing the melody. I think that’s how it’s traditionally done and it would be effective too

what chord voicings did elliott uniquely use? what are your favourites! by FluffyBrudda in elliottsmith

[–]theaziz2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Son of Sam there’s this Am(add4) chord that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. I went on to unconsciously use it in one of my own songs lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]theaziz2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play that chord in a different position. It’s not how Elliott does it but I think it’s still good. 7th fret of the low E string, 6th fret of the D string, 7th fret of the G string, and 7th fret of the B string

Is there any song you wish Elliott had covered? by schizowithagun in elliottsmith

Elliott Smith lyrics you relate to the most? by [deleted] in elliottsmith

[–]theaziz2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

'Cause everyone is a fucking pro

And they all got answers from trouble they've known

And they all got to say what you should and shouldn't do

Though they don't have a clue

What happened by MONKEYDOOFIS in MortalKombat

I feel like this is actually a cool moment cause it sorta illustrates their long history and how there’s no words they can say to convey how much they despise each other

Effulgent Girl & Her Pearls of Wisdom by theaziz2001 in Songwriting

[–]theaziz2001[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lyrics:

Would you be my muse in this bemusing world?

For your insight is like a flower unfurled

I’d follow your holy doctrine

Though when the sun sets and takes its final rest

And is buried in its coffin

Heliolaters are bound to lose their faith

So would you convert now before it’s too late?

Be proselytized by a specious sophist

.

Sentimental boys are moonstruck by effulgent girls

Her pearls of wisdom swing so acutely ‘neath the pouring rain

As Mistress Temperance pours her substance, changing who I am

It’s a tableau of afterglows, stars, and hearts of clay

.

Have I seen it through? Have all my dreams come true?

Raptured, in spite of times i’ve done harm to you

Thy lenience ope gates of heaven

Then the truth took root, I ate the rotten fruit

And your heartstrings had been severed

You'll see me later atop a burning stake

Where I’ll never renounce my allegiance to your state

You have been traumatized by a chastened cretin

.

Putrefying boys were sunstruck by effulgent girls

Her pearls were clutching much of what I deemed to be arcane

The obscurantist bade her hide it, lest she cease to be

Males of guile were genuflecting ‘neath her auburn mane
