Things I've learnt playing in bands at the ripe old age of 23.

[Ummm… how come throughout the whole post you refer to yourself using personal pronouns but in the spot above you refer to yourself in the third person?

Whatever it is that you are seemingly dying to reveal - please just get it off yr chest.

HAHA! You damn sneaky Australians (assuming there’s more than one of you, which there probably is NOT) and your damn multiple personalities.

How about Dildo and I (and the other Aussies if they’d care to contact me) pose for a photo and post it? Perhaps we could strip and get lubed up, just to make it worth yr while???

Probably better than Olsen showing his schlong in the Post Your Picture thread, I daresay.

Because I fucked up and put

in front of the wrong paragraph.

[quote]It sucks, Dildo, but in the long run you’re better off, and really with time it won’t bother you at all.

Davely, those two examples you gave sort of defined a different set of circumstances. Those people you described seemed to get off on driving wedges between their friends, creating drama for the hell of it and committing themselves to actions with a massive degree of malice behind them. Believe it or not, but this guy was one of those self-destructive sorts who pretty much just took it all out on himself. He just retreated further and further and any attempt to reach out was just made impossible by the shit he’d surrounded himself with. He never said a bad word about anyone and was constantly being tempted into trash talk only to disappoint anyone who expected him to get sucked in.

At this point though, you can only hurt yourself for so long until you fuck up to the extent that everyone around you can’t help but get hurt. He was self destructive, but he was never really an arsehole about it, if that makes sense, up until this point. Going on the car chase was an arsehole act. But, that being said, he would be beating himself up more than anyone else if he was conscious and able to. I think part of the reason he’s in this situation is that he couldn’t stand failure, and chose never to push himself toward anything other than the easiest option.

As for Ryan Dunn and all that business… yeah, I was making jokes about it as soon as it happened. Died as he lived- with pieces of a car up his arse. Didn’t film the death- ultimate Jackass death fail. Etc. etc. And I used to look at stories like my friends, just like Olsen, Peligro, etc and go ‘what fucking morons’.

My point certainly isn’t to vindicate what these people do… basically, I’m just saying how I feel and have described the person he used to be before he took this shit path. It’s pretty shitty listening to our music and watching old rehearsal tapes and seeing all that potential thrown out the window. I’ll probably still continue to feel the same way when I see similar shit in the news, but this entire thing has given me a little more insight into what the people around these individuals go through because of their selfishness.

Can the ‘lube’ be chocolate sauce? Or the ‘special’ chocolate sauce we talked about?

fair enough.
