Holy smokes. You could have Shatner cakes all the time! Totally worth it.

I went to a store today and found a mold of William Shatner's head.

Uh.....did you immediately buy it?!

Also, I always feel extra bad for the Amish when I see them at the Hospital.

The Amish are at starbucks

I'll be very disappointed in them if they aren't having french press.

Without much convincing, my boss will be paying me for yesterday's absence.  Yay.

thinking he got dat A

Also just saw the high school posts, you guys had some tiiiiiiiiny classes. There are 3 major High Schools within 10 miles of each other here and the average senior class is like 400-500.

Yeah, I was gonna say, I think my class had like 500 people and we were one of two big schools in the district.

First time seeing the clear copies too.

 

These will be going up in my store very soon - there have been a ton of issues getting these pressed and after all the issues I just want them all done before I start selling them and they can ship immediately.

I appreciate this. Too many people jump the gun on releases and then orders get cancelled or messed up. Thank you Matt. (Also thanks for the update.)

Honestly, I think there's something to love about all five albums. Its taken me a long time to get to this point where I can really appreciate them all on their own. There's definitely way less fuzz bass on AS and I think that and the fact that the instrumentation is much more representative of the instruments that would be used for this style of music that they're borrowing from and overall its much cleaner sounding is what makes this album a bit harder to swallow for some fans. But I have to say that hearing "Sinai" (with its sick drum groove) and "Haqq al-Yaqqin" melodically transform over the course of their 10 to 11 minute duration is an excellent listening experience and worth the price of admission. The rest of the album is great as well.

 

Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty sweet album overall I guess. Maybe it's less that I don't really enjoy it and more that I don't see myself listening to it as often as I'd like to necessitate my purchase of an album on vinyl. I'm trying to limit myself lately because my other hobbies are expensive too :/

Awesome! If they don't get distributed here I'll get in on that shipping.

EDIT: Or I could learn to read the whole thread.

I've been trying to get into Advaitic Songs, can't get into it as much as the first two albums.

I'm going to keep trying, we'll see.

People have been asking for photos. This is the guy.

 

Don't be fooled by other Thumann's hot dogs - it's gotta be the white packaging!  They snap when you eat them.  Best hotdogs ever.  I've converted many people over the years from other brands to these bad boys.

I like the sound of that!

I wish I could have a job that I actually enjoy, it's all a pipe dream for me.

Whining about it on the internet helps I guess... You have such a positive attitude. I don't know what else I expected out of you, even though my first contact with you was today on this forum. Fuck.

Portland is where young people go to retire.

That's what I hear...

Ooooooh I want one of those

Become of a funeral director. It's pretty interesting.

I can't pass as a teen. Homeless teenagers are sad, homeless people my age just get looked over.

You could just find a job you actually enjoy then...

Having a job and responsibilities is such fucking bullshit.

You could always just quit. There are plenty of homeless teens out here in Portland, I'm sure you could manage as well as any of them panhandling.

I don't discriminate against any Chex Mix pieces. They all serve an important role in satisfying my hunger.

Im having Supdog for dinner

Well played, sir.

WHAT is a snapdog?

(it sounds wonderful)

I just got a job at a record store today. I'm a full grown man. As a kid, it was "I really need money, and a cool job." Now I chose to work there one day a week, just for the sweet hookups.

Wish I could! I don't have a day a week that I can definitively say I could be there though :/

I just want to let you guys know that you don't have to be friendly and nice to everyone. If you don't like someone just ignore them. The pussification of humans these days is sickning.

I'm not nice to everyone, I just don't see how being a dick to someone you work with is ever going to help you in the end. If I did that to someone at my job they could really hold up my work and make shit a living hell, which in turn makes things harder on grieving families because everything takes longer.

I know it isn't the same for everyone's job, but anyone being able to make your job any harder sucks, so why not at least be nice to people you work with.

If someone is being an asshole out at the bar, or just out in a normal place not related to where I work I have no problem telling them to get the fuck out of my face.  Being a "bigger" dude, I usually don't have that issue though.

someone orders food out of nowhere, love that one.

 

we were celebrating my friends birthday a few months ago. He ordered some deep fried pickles, eats almost the entire basket then looks up at us and slurs 'did.... did i order these?'

I've definitely been there... damn, I love fried pickles.

I can be nice, but if annoyed I become an enraged animal hellbent for destruction.

  

So, what are you supposed to do?

There are polite, socially acceptable ways to let people know you are annoyed.  I don't understand all the angst and rage over someone asking a simple question.

I know it can get annoying to be asked the same question repeatedly, and you'd expect people to remember something after you tell them. But people forget. I know I'm a somewhat forgetful guy.

But I like to try to treat people the way I'd like them to treat me. I was an asshole for a long time, and it gets to a point where you just get tired of it.

Is telling someone bothering you to fuck off considered rude?

If you literally tell them to fuck off? Yeah...
