Daniel Lockwood added a discussion to the group Relationships
Respect a Thin Line
Heard this joint today from Jurassic 5 called "Thin Line." Very cool hip/hop rock track from a great band. Beyond that and more importantly, it really describes my feelings regarding friendships between men and women. I pasted the lyrics to the song, below. (lyricsmania.com)I'll also post the song on my playlist so you guys can listen to it. It's some really good wisdom, that really hit home for me in my experience over the years. You have to know where the "thin line"…See More

Dean Leysen replied to Daniel Lockwood's discussion Mentalities: "I don't give a fuck" vs. "I'm the shit""I don't really adapt to either mentality, really.

Daniel Lockwood posted a discussionMentalities: "I don't give a fuck" vs. "I'm the shit"
Success, or the lack of it, derives most often from a person's attitude.I wanted to make this discussion because the language we use to describe our mentality can often trick us into accepting other beliefs that are tangential to the line of thinking that we use; to strengthen our confidence in approaching various important aspects of our life.These are the two mentalities, in general, that I think are integral of other variant attitudes, and most dominant (at least, perhaps, in Western…See More

P.B. said… - Hey Dan, just up to my usual hanging in there. I heard yesterday that if the bloody politicians here didn't figure out how to pay the bills that I'd be having my disability cut in half (almost) today. Well, they didn't grow up and learn to play nice overnight so now I have half as much to live on. LOL They're turning me into a very resourceful adventurer but I have to admit I'm getting a bit sick of the McDonald's and Taco Bell dollar menu. :D

- Hi Daniel, thanks for checking out Unchumpify and for your comment. I've joined your group, but can't start properly participating until later on (I'm currently at work and 'sneaking' on iPower ;) ) I think that in our world men forgot how to be men. If the majority of women wanted to date feminine guys, we'd be lesbians.
You mentioned that you posted on the topic of the idea of "transcending yourself" in your Approaching Women group, but I can't seem to find that discussion, could you please send me a link?
Thanks!

My Favorite People
My Favorite Bands
KNAC.COM: When you were describing Opeth as a "death metal band" onstage before you seemed almost apologetic. Was that because of the crowd, which was mostly prog-metal fans, or do you genuinely feel that way?
ÅKERFELDT: I guess it's kind of disarming the whole thing. People have this idea of death metal musicians being childish kids with a rough upbringing who aren't really interested in music, they are just lashing out. And they don't see it as a respected art form or music form as jazz or classical, so it's a bit tongue in cheek. But I still love it. It's a great way to express aggression, there's no other music that can express aggression like metal music... But it's good to have a diverse crowd, that's what we like to have. And maybe some people who came to the show tonight thinking death metal was shit changed their minds a little bit after seeing us. And if not, that's OK. We are what we are.
