Well, considering there is consistently some jerk ripping people off through this site I wouldn't be shocked if Paypal reported it as such. 

Haven't been on in a week and checked into this thread first. What a crybaby. Not the best choice for a return visit. 
 
(The trump image is pretty great though)

Wait. Wait. Wait. Perhaps we're being too harsh on young rc87. He described the aforementioned non-green record as a "POS...abomination." Maybe the unmixed green/blue vinyl pellets created the visage of Donald Trump in the record. That would be disturbing.
 

He was such a talent as both an athlete and personality. His transition to triathlon shows so much about his level of physicality. The hardest thing in the world to ask for is help. And the hardest thing for those who don't suffer from depression is to understand when someone is asking for that help. In these moments I like to remind people to keep their ears and hearts open to those around them. Because I can tell you from experience that asking for help is so damn hard the first time, it's pretty much impossible to do a second. My thoughts are with him and his family and all those suffering from mental disorders. 
 
I'd like to also just toss out something I learned a while back. Those in psychology, who deal with suicide in particular, say the person "Died by Suicide" instead of "Committing Suicide". It's a subtle but important acknowledgment to the underlying mental disorder that leads to the action - it is as much a cause of death as it is an act. I've mulled through this a ton. When my friend died by suicide in August I kept saying "committed" in anger but my goodness - the pain you must be in to do this when being a parent. I lean back often upon the love of my son and that bond in my worst moments and I can see the pure beauty - to be so sick, in so much pain to not feel that has to be excruciating.

Oddly this is an improvement over the old search function.

We should get a drink or a bite at some point Dave.

I was browsing through my phone and saw that my cat took eleven selfies a couple weeks ago.

Pumpkin and I took a selfie.
 

His NYC home is across the street from my office - he used to have a space in this building too. It's a crowd there. The people are cool but the news trucks are making it a bit more of a scene than needed. 
 
In 2004 a co-worker and I were going to take a ride up to the Bronx on a project. He was distracted for a moment while pulling away from the curb in front of the office and didn't see a jaywalker trying to cut in front of our car. I screamed at the top of my lungs - closest I've been personally to running someone over. The person was face down on our hood with both arms splayed palms down. When the insanely frightened person looked up it was Bowie. We almost killed him on his walk to his office. He was pure Gentleman, accepted our rattled apology and walked off without a bit of anger expressed. We debated if we'd have to leave the country or what if that accident had happened - I figured yes. 
 
The man was a genius as a personality and performer. Pushed Rock n Roll and sexuality into realms it had barely touched previously. I'll be spinning Ziggy all night. 

"I said it when Illumination Ritual was released, the next thing I put out will be this. I'm not going to release anything by Appleseed Cast or any other project, until I have turned this into something I am excited about and finish it"
 
Bullshit.

This is one of the most overly dramatic threads I've seen on this board - and that's saying something.

Dude, you're usually pretty cool to deal with on this board, but this post was super-duper over the line, especially considering Dan has been a member of VC since 2008 (you didn't join until 2012). Maybe have a little bit more respect for folks who actually played a huge role in VC's early growth instead of being a dickhead to a stranger who wasn't being hostile to anyone?

Dan is a good dude. I am not in favor of raffles but this guy by no means deserves to be shit on by a bunch of bullshit wanna-be emo thugs. He's done more for his local scene, giving space and time to bands, and charity than the vast majority of the people on this board.

The final sign I'm not meant for this site. The prophecy is fulfilled and I've officially aged out. 

Nothing will happen.
 
This reminds me of the time in 1996 my car was broken into. A friend had taken a photo of my bare ass because you know, I was 19. I took the photo once developed and stashed it in my glovebox. The morning I came to find my car broken into the stereo was gone and everything was gone through but that photo was propped up nicely on the drivers side seat. 
 
I was so broke and pissed but still laughed my head off. 
 
I put it back in the glovebox and forgot about it until my Dad borrowed my car six months later and was pulled over by a cop only to find it tucked into the same envelope with my registration. Awesome conversation came later.
 
What's the moral? I don't know but you reminded me of this story so why the hell not. Oh, don't sweat it too much and make your friend buy you a new drive. 

This was terrific and I love you.
