Ok. have you looked into private lessons?

That is unless, you gave up on drums without actually
giving it a proper try.
There's 30 guys/gals in my boy's high school band who would beat you to death and use your skin for kettle drums for saying that. Ok, thaey'd just beat you to death. I'd be the one doing the skinning...you know...to save money...

CLUE: Yes
Drumming requires a lot of skill. Being able to play a 'basic beat' does not a drummer make. Trust me, I know.
@Shads - Yeah, obviously Vocalists attract women like a turd covered in jam attracts flies - but drummers do too. The type of girls attracted to vocalists are usually shallow, vain, slags. The type of girls that are attracted to drummers are (in my experience) more down-to-earth - the type of bird that can down a pint, and still look hot doing it. They are also dirty. Very, very dirty.
Did I mention I am a vocalist who used to be a drummer?

What should I do?
You ain't gonna learn rhythm from just 4 goes anyway so I wouldn't worry - my rhythm was terrible when I 1st started playing bongos in me mates band years ago (they only wanted me for my comedy hairstyle I'm sure). Now I play the drum pretty good (ok anyway) - and guitar, banjo, keyboards (a little) and tomorrow I'm buying an accoustic bass for 25 quid which is wicked (it is painted pink though - which is definitely not).
Just go for the one you wanna play most - don't worry what you sound like now - you are gonna sound bad for a while whatever instrument you learn mate
@Bla_ze Well I know I can do something if I truly TRULY put my mind to it. Like I used to be dreadful at painting and well in January I placed 2nd in a painting competition.
Also my drummer trainer didn't really like me I think.
@Frazz
Yes I am looking into that, once I get the guitar I hope after a check or two.
@Albatross.
Never thought of it like that, well lets see where the Norns take me in life.
My local comic store is closing. . Well, moving to another town that's about an hour away.
My buddy is starting to get serious about trying 40k, awesome. One more day of standardized tests. YAY! My English teacher has a concussion from a weight hitting her in drama two days ago, she might not be in the rest of the week. . She's an awesome teacher.
MGS4 is officially awesome. (Yeah, I'm two years late to the party. sue me.)
Why do women yell on the phone, when it's a perfectly clear connection?
Is texting always this complicated when you start out?
I wanna learn guitar. Just a few chords to play some Ramone's songs.
Just quickly on the acoustic/electric finger strength issue.
Since an acoustic has to create its own noise it has big beefy strings, and they tend to be raised a little higher above the fretboard. Electrics strings are generally much finer and easier to get a noise out of, since the guitar doesn't need to do the heavy lifting volume-wise. Both require finger strength, but acoustic more so.

I remember when I first played MGS IV...I played 6 hours, went to bed, then played the next 12 hours. That game is fething amazing. Hideo Kojima is working on the next Castlevania, so look out for that.
You only need one chord to play just about everything by The Ramones. And the Sex Pistols.
The awesome guitar in Burzum and Bathory have sealed the deal. I know every git has a guitar but I will strive to be above that. Maybe even the next Zakk wylde.

As i said a simple drum beat requires coordination not skill, unlike something like simple saxophone melodies, that require technique but not much coordiantion.
Anyway, enough pleasantries.
Tips från coachen
@Shadowbrand: if you are learning the guitar. Please start with the accoustic. Learn notes, id say its worth it.
If you are starting out with the electric, remember to pick properly from the beginning, makes it a WHOLE lot easier. Learn correct finger/band placement. ALSO LEARN TO USE THAT PINKY on the "fourth" band, even if its weak and feeble.
Remember rome wasn't built in one night, all those whores and thieves had to migrate over time

Your personal attack has been duly noted.
And you're wrong. Seriously. Almost to the point that it seems like you're making things up as you go along. Saxaphone melodies require technique but not much co-ordination? Really? That statement shows that your grasp of either Music or the English language is pretty woeful.
Today fething sucks. My alarm clock was a hour wrong, so here I was thinking I was late. When really i'm early. My MP3 player is on the verge of dieing and I had to skip a shower in the rush I was in.

Exactly. I play Drums, Guitar, Bass, Piano (terribly), Organ (see piano), Latin/African Percussion and am a classically-trained vocalist - each one presents it's own series of unique challenges. Some people have an aptitude for certain instruments, mine was drums - I picked it up really quickly and was gigging at 14.
Does that make it easy? Hell. No. I know virtuoso guitarists who can't even manage a straight 4/4 rock beat on the kit. It isn't easy to do it well, no matter what the instrument.

They aren't testes, their meat industry waste processed into paste if i'm not mistaken (though this is somewhat diminished by getting proper brands).
And they are a parties best friend and worst nightmare.
Best friend: their damn tasty, everyone wants.
Worst nightmare: You try cleaning that stuff up, be it just dropped, or projectile vomited across the place(which is bound to happen if you eat to many).

I only played Dark Alliance 2... cause it had console co-oplol.
My high school math (which I did 3 years ago now) wasn't good enough to get me into Computer Science. I have to either take a remedial math course really fast (I'm having trouble finding one that qualifies) or take something else.
Apparently taking a humanities can be a good way to get into the video game industry, so I'm looking at doing philosophy. Writing, analysing video games, and talking about non-technical ideas are really the only three things that can I claim to be genuinely good at, so I figure thats as good a path as any.
Also, I'm playing Mass Effect 2. I want to write for Bioware, they seem to genuinely understand the need for games to explore complex ideas. Oh, I guess the gameplay is pretty good too.

I had to hand in an application form, complete with resume, for GW by closing time today to even be considered.
I stayed up to 2am finishing the form and getting someone to be my referee (like a reference, but contact info for a person, who'll say nice things about you).
I had intended to wake up at 9am to go to the public liabrary on the way to the trainstation to print out my resume and photocopy some awards and such. But I slept in til 11am, just as my mother was going out. Which meant that I didn't have the money to go AND print and photocopy the stuff.
So I had to wait til 1pm for her to get home, when I had to go get lunch. So I didn't end up leaving til 3pm, which meant there was going to be ALOT of school kids around and on the train.
When I got to the liabrary, the lady said that there was something wrong with the internet there. Which at the time I thought she meant network. So I got to the trainstation, with the intention of using the liabrary in Liverpool (city GW is in).
I got to Liverpool Liabrary at 4pm, and they told me that I couldn't print from a USB (as with every other liabrary in the area apparently), but there was a convinence store a block away where I could. It ended up being alot cheaper than printing from the liabrary anyway!
I managed to have everything ready and handed in at 5pm, half an hour before it closed...
Two days ago I was playing my brothers PS3 in my room, as my dad wanted to watch the news. Seems responsible and reasonable, right?
When I was finished, put it back in the living room, which is where my brother wanted it. I had asked him if I could put it in my room earlier, he said it was alright.
I do the same thing today, and he starts bitching up a storm about it, then takes it and sets it up in the living room, making sure to bitch infornt of my parents so they'll take his side
and won't allow me to play it.
He never even plays the fething thing! The last time he touched it was two weeks ago to watch a movie, so why's he gotta be a dick about it?

...GET THAT PS3 BACK NOW...
I'm waiting for everybody to go to sleep, I'll unplug it, put in my room, beat crying wolf, save, then put it back. Nobody knows, and I am one step closer to beating the game.
Also, did anybody else find the Laughing Octopus level to be as annoying as I did?

@EF, didn't know the Australian Defense Force offered a gap year program. Do you learn actual military skills, go on basic training, that sort of thing?
Speaking of considering ones future, I think I'd like to go into illustration of some sort or another. I'm too rubbish at everything else.

Same. The battle is supposed to be pretty long, a battle of attrition. I've beaten it much faster since then, but the first time was grueling.
I'm using the Solid Eye set to NV to find her, which has probally cut the fight down alot, but I still haven't. Goddamned frogs....
In other news, my two good buds cam eover today. Spent a lot of time screwing around sparring, which was fun. But we did play some MW2, and played a real quick game of 40K. We didn't have the rule book cause he left it in his locker, but we remembered the basic rules and jsut improvised where it seemed important. When he gets his 40k stuff, we'll hang out and put it together an deventually have a game together.
Deff Dread red Edition wrote:@EF, didn't know the Australian Defense Force offered a gap year program. Do you learn actual military skills, go on basic training, that sort of thing?
Yes, and after the training (roughly 1/4 o 1/3 of the Year) you spend on active service. (Not necessarily being posted in Iraq, but you know what I mean.) I figured that this would be a way to test myself, and to see if I have what it takes to make a career out of the Army.
I agree with you, but in my case they have no respect for anyone else, think they are owed the world.
Honestly I just want to leave, maybe go to Norway were I decend from. Or the UK. Australia would be sweet too, purely due to all the dakka folks there and who doesn't wana rock hard like those guys do?

no.... not that.

Whats on my mind? Well, in all honesty....I'm nervous.
As it turns out my cousins school was set on fire last tuesday (Heh, shows how much people talk to me ), but some things don't add up. Firstly it was at night, which makes it unlikely that any electrical devices started it and leads me to conclude that it wasn't intended to hurt anyone. Now, some petrol remnants have been found placed in areas where the fire would spread quickly, so this wasn't just a drunken night out for someone-this was planned, and the perpatrators knew what they were doing. This then leads us to question what the motivation behind the crime would have been-The 6th form buildings was hit hardest, so could it have been one of them? Possibly, but then again if you're in 6th form by my understanding you're there because you want to be. So why would they burn the school down? Other options are that a proverbial 3rd party from outside the school was involved, but then again we have to question why?

@ Shadowbrand. Canada blows. Leave at the first opportunity. Under 30 you can get working holiday visas for up to 18 months to Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK. I think the criteria are being under 30, having a passport, having graduated high school and having $5000 in the bank to sustain your initial move. The world is a big fething place, a lot better than whatever podunk donut shop emporium town you live in. Trust me, I know. Drumheller, dude (aka 'Murderhell'). The desert in Alberta, dude. You can't even get radio stations in the valley. The big industry is the penitentiary.Everyone whacked out on meth. Japan, hot girls everywhere. Australia was awesome when I was there. The UK is close to Amsterdam.
It's a serious bidness stepping out your front door.
Some of us happen to be from Canada. Its not my favourite country in the world, but I would hardly say that it "blows." On the whole I'm much happier here than I was in Qatar.
Having said that, its important to get out and see the world. For the time being, however, I'll just visit.
On a related note, I'm heading to Scottland on Tuesday. Should be a good time. I'm going to see Gogol Bordello while I'm there.

Don't take my rant about Canadurr too seriously. I don't totally hate the place. I still have enough patriotic fibre to cheer for the hockey teams at the international level and for whatever team that is playing the Habs. I even still spell "centre" correctly.

Kamloops where there's already somewhat of an established "metal" base and there seems to be quite a few people he knows here, as well. In my opinion I find Canadian cities such as Victoria and Ottawa to be great places to
have fun (I hate Vancouver, most large cities and the prairies though). Then again Shadow did say he's fan of Black Metal so maybe he would be better off at a place like Norway.
I'm failing math. Again. This semester's beginning I was doing really good, doing my homework, studying at home, going to tutoring before they cancelled it,
asking question when I didn't understand stuff, taking notes whenever the teacher was actually doing her job.
My grade was a decent C because of this.
But one. Fething. Test. Worth an unreasonable amount of goddamed points took my entire grade down to an F. And not an F that you can easily recover from.
An F that stands for "Feth me in the ass sideways." So I now have 29 school days to work my ass off and get it to a D and hope the teacher takes pity on me an bumps it to a C-,
else I get to repeat the course.
I barely even learned anything in this class anyway.
It's fourty-five minutes long, and the teacher spends the first fifteen going over warmup problems, another fifteen on the previous nights homework, and then ten on teaching us the next lesson, before
she gives us five minutes in class to work on this nights homework.
The past few years I was always able to pull my stuff together and get up to a a few points below a B on my own, but this year, I'm fethed.

Sounds bad, man. I'm in my last two years of school (we call it 'college' here for some daft reason) and math is entirely optional. I dropped it, but the numbers keep coming back to haunt me in Computer Science. 0's and 1's, man, 0's and 1's.
Star testing for freshmen up to junior today. some seniors went to vulenteer at at the elemtery school. me ans some guys got put in the special ed classes. BOY. it takes a special type of patiance to teach special ed kids. glad i was able to give the teachers a break.
yes but com sci number are nice unless its circuit math damn you imaginary numbers you can't be nice and simple like a 0 or 1 no you have to be the square of -1

Agreed. Like anywhere, Canada is a great place to live if you're in a good spot. Kamloops is glorious - Hot desert summers, lots to do in the city, just enough rain in the spring, winters aren't too cold, A well-known ski resort, 10 golf courses, and 2 good camping resorts within city limits, and more lakes than you can shake a soggy money at. Victoria is my second choice for residence as well. I've been there 5 or 6 times and I absolutely love it. The best part of it is walking through all the narrow, cobbled pedestrian streets between blocks and finding all the cool hidden stores tucked away from view. Kamloops is my first love though. It'd take a lot to uproot me from it.
On the other hand, I've been to Drumheller and yea, it is poo. I can see where Khornholio's apathy in regards to Canada comes from if that's where he grew up. I would say that the country far from 'blows' though. It's definately one of the better places to be on this earth.
Well my ancestors came from norway, just 50 years ago actually my family left during the nazi occupation.
However my uncle was drafted, we have his Iron Cross laying around somewhere.
Bit OT I realize but this is the OT forum anyways my logic is maybe if I get to see where I came from I might know where im going. I am so very lost in my life.

I would drop math in a heartbeat and never think twice about it. I'm taking a SAt math prep course to try and get my math creds outta the way as quick as possible though.
Also, chicks need to stop being so hot. It really feths my s**t up knowing so many hot chicks tbh. Just for a day be ugly, is that so hard to ask?

Best way? You and a friend look at people funny and snicker at them while muttering to eachother in a fake language. It's even better when they try to call you on it and go "You know, I -do- speak ________, and I understand what you're saying". And then you tell them that isn't what you're speaking in, so they don't actually know what you're saying.
3 hours sleep, a day teaching and then reading and writing this godforsaken essay til now. My brain is cooked. Tomorrow I am handing it in after school, then going to see Iron Man 2, then going to see Flight of the Conchords at the Olympia, and then going to get a PINT.
Then, if volcanic ash doesn't trap me here I'm going to Engerland to interview for some jobs.
The week after that I'm going to SLEEEEP!
I hate how there are kids in my school who are incredibly popular just because they had, like, a million friends in kindergarten. Then when I'm on the bus home from school, they'll try to put me down to sound "cool." I'll throw out a pretty good comeback, and everyone, cool or not, tells me that it was "the worst effing comeback they've ever heard." And you know what? I'll hear the person who insulted me use the same comeback (in diss form) two minutes later against some other unlucky kid. And then everyone's just like "Ohhhhh! DAMN! You just got DISSED!" So basically no matter what they say, everyone backs them up because they want to look cool. No matter what you do you can't get them.
I'm sorry for ranting, but hey, that's what the thread's for, right? And it feels SO much better letting that out. Thank you for the thread, OP.

Read a book on the bus and ignore em'. you cant stop it but you can stop it from happening to you. i learned that.
Or better yet agree with him. makes it worse that he cant hurt you no matter what he says.

That's some glorious fun
I had a weird experience yesterday in regards to language. I went to a gas station and a white guy appears, so I figured he was the son-in-law of the owner, but could probably speak English. Wrong. He was Russian. Speaking Japanese to another white guy is just soooooo weird. I'm sure the two Japanese within earshot thought it was even weirder.
And Bumsmeller is one horrible place. Calgary used to be OK, but they've messed it up with the worst road system in Canada resulting in the entire population having roadrage all the time.

Thanks for the advice, but I do my homework on the bus which is essentially the same. And everyone makes fun of me for it. My bus is a madhouse because my driver doesn't give a damn what we do. They expect me to run around and feth around with them. That's fine with me! They can have a crapload of homework when they get home. But agreeing with/ignoring them doesn't work. They're not bullies; they don't take pleasure in putting me down. They take pleasure in people congratulating them for putting me down. So unless people stop liking me getting crapped on, they'll keep it up. Oh well, it's not as big of a deal as I make it sound. But again, thanks for the advice garret.
Oh, that sucks. Must feel horrible. I know that I've many times felt all pumped about a conversion and then two minutes in I fail and have to get rid of the bitz I was using. Too bad....

Wait, how does that not make them bullies?
Well, I guess they are bullies but what I'm saying is they don't bully because they take pleasure in it like many other bullies do. They do it because it makes them look better than everyone else.

turn around and jump up high enough that your arse is at his face-level. Then let a big fart go. Hell, just jump up and fart on him at point blank in general. If that won't make everyone laugh at him, I don't know what will.
I'm in Scotland. That trip sucked. We are meeting my mom, and her flight got canceled because of the ash. So now she is on a bus going from London to Edinburgh and all we can really do is wait at the hotel.
But we are here, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Oh gods I know EXACTLY how you feel Scout. As about the only person who pays attention in Maths, I think It's been about 10 months since I actually learned something new. OTOH, it does lead to some interesting after-lesson conversations with the teacher about how we could shock the other "pupils" into paying attention-I think my favourite one so far has been standing up and breaking into the chorus of Meatloaf's "the butcher is king". Just keep toughing it out dude.

If he gets mad and challenges you to a fight, then just tell him that even if he wins, he'd still lose. For he has the Will of the Housewife, whereas you have the Will of the Warrior (Assuming you couldn't floor him, of course)
And on future comebacks, if he says it's dumb, just reply with "That's okay, I know you'll use it yourself in five minutes or so. The fact you idolize me like that is quite flattering, really."
And, of course, there's the random high-volume akward blurt-out. Like "<Name> STOP TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR LOOSE ARSEHOLE!" or "NO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR GAY FANTASY <Name>!"
Used at the right moment, the high-volume akward line can be extremely hilarious.

LLF.
Well math has always been a challenge for me, and it hasn't helped that the past three years my teachers were crappy.
For the past five years now, I've been busting my ass off to scrape by with a 70%, which is more then enough imo, since I won't be going into a career that involves lots of insane algebra.

Edited for Profanity.
Try to keep in mind, that though many of us curse on dakka, it is run through the language filter, so that nobody whines about profanity.
And I know I'm prolly the biggest hypocrite for saying that, but just keep it in mind.
Just for future reference.
The place I used to get my improv classes might not be opening again this summer. It was really fun and helped me get comfortable performing, so I'm gonna email my instructur and see if it's going on this summer.

Scout, you forgot to tell him "Donkey-Cave" is also a perfect stand in if "Arse" doesn't float your boat.
And maybe your rashed up eye is just Nurgle's way of saying "Thanks bud, you're my favorite!"

But I'm a loyalist!!! I'm actaully not even sure it's poison ivy tbh. The doc gave me prednisone to knock whatever rash it is out tho.. A wonder drug if ever there was one, but
so nasty. Since there isn't a spitting smiley, this'll do.
Had an interesting conversation with someoen in my powerpoint class about how my rash could be worse.
"I got one on my hand really bad a few years ago. Tips of my fingers to my elbow." Girl.
"I had one stretching from my neck, to my chest and shoulder, down to right above my left elbow." Me
"I got mine from a very close male friend. WHo got some on his legs. It was awkward explaining that to my mother." Girl.
i agreed that telling my mom that the reason I have a rash from poison ivy is because I touched some dudes junk.
Golden Eyed Scout wrote:"I got mine from a very close male friend. WHo got some on his legs. It was awkward explaining that to my mother." Girl.
What I want to know is this: If that -was- a rash, and not just Herpes, then what the hell was that guy humping that gave him a rash?
She explained they had been camping, he was wearing shorts, walked in to the bushes to piss, rubbed up against poison oak (not ivy. my mistake.) on his shins, which spread up his legs, and then to his penis.
She then gave him a handjob on the trip, and got it on her arms. She said she got tested to be sure, and it came back negative.

Automatically Appended Next Post: Sparred with my friends again today. They wanted to do two on one, see if I would stil beat them.
I did. . One was behind me, the other in front.
I threw three punches at the one in front, spun, two low roundhouses aimed behind his knee, spun back, hit three more punches on my other friend, then concentrated on the one behind me.
I grab him in a pain compliance hold taught to me by a police officer at a camp. I bend his thumb back and to the side. I turn around, realisng I left myself open.
My other friend, travis, throws a punch. By some miracle, I jump up, and scissor his arm. i dig my knees right above his elbos, putting him in what could've been an arm bar if I ahd my other hand.
We all drop to the ground, off balance, but I still have my submissions locked in. Traviss starts crawling to the right side of the room, my buddy shak to the left.
Their movement ended up making each other's submissions worse. They both tapped out twenty seconds later.
My buddy Shak is amazed I made him tap out (the third time so far in three sparring sessions.) considering he's a second level in BJJ.
Travis is amazed I was able to jump that high and lock in a scissor.
I'm amazed that i'm finding my figthing style is drifting towards submissions, considering that you would think a small, fast person would be doing more strikes.

If you're a small guy submission holds are the best way to go. My nephew is a small guy and he has won a lot of fights through submissions and the breaking of opponents' limbs. If you try to go toe-to-toe with a big dude, he'll pummel you into the ground on strength alone. Using a wiry frame and submission holds will help you win fights.

they aren't that much taller then me. My buddy travis is 5'7",5'8", but Shak is 6'.
They always thought of me as being more a striker/kicker, moving in, throwing a few punches, pulling out before the opponent can retrain himself on me, then repeating.
But I like making someone scream 'I QUIT!!" more then having them sit down and nursing their jaw.

as a small guy you should defiantly go for submissions. I.m a big guy and the one thing i'm afraid id being on the ground in a submission hold. Though that might just be the fact that I use grav maka and if you're on the ground you already dead. So the few times I,ve actually been in a fight the guy had a broken clavicle, nose and i could have broken his neck, stay up dispatch enemy quickly and painfully then move along.

I'm sure you remember the things you did to try and get a girl to touch your junk. And now you can think back, and reminesce.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Sparred with my friends again today. They wanted to do two on one, see if I would stil beat them.
I did. . One was behind me, the other in front.
I threw three punches at the one in front, spun, two low roundhouses aimed behind his knee, spun back, hit three more punches on my other friend, then concentrated on the one behind me.
I grab him in a pain compliance hold taught to me by a police officer at a camp. I bend his thumb back and to the side. I turn around, realisng I left myself open.
My other friend, travis, throws a punch. By some miracle, I jump up, and scissor his arm. i dig my knees right above his elbos, putting him in what could've been an arm bar if I ahd my other hand.
We all drop to the ground, off balance, but I still have my submissions locked in. Traviss starts crawling to the right side of the room, my buddy shak to the left.
Their movement ended up making each other's submissions worse. They both tapped out twenty seconds later.
My buddy Shak is amazed I made him tap out (the third time so far in three sparring sessions.) considering he's a second level in BJJ.
Travis is amazed I was able to jump that high and lock in a scissor.
I'm amazed that i'm finding my figthing style is drifting towards submissions, considering that you would think a small, fast person would be doing more strikes.
Wait didn't you make a thread about trying to bulk up and now you're somehow able to beat the gak out of all your friends arses.
I did do that thread, but it's now more concentrated on being fitter then I was, as opposed to bigger, at least in the recent posts.
Since I started that thread, I can run for longer, I can lift heavier things and for longer as well.
And my buds and I just enjoy horsing around and sparring, which is why we were fighting. Shak has some martial arts under his belt, Travis is just a brawler, but I've found that
my two years of scholastic wrestling and Greco Roman training are really paying off.
Our old cat was the master of the under the couch attack. One cat before that was an Orinithicidal maniac killing about two birds a day. Very metal. The last cat was a sleepy sh!tting machine.

And women find that type of dress ware both revealing and sexually attractive?
can Excuse me stranger, what are you embracing? actually be credited as a proper lyric? Oh and why is it, that no matter how hard i try, i always end up failing.
My music isnt dildo, rap OR pop. I had to check the lyrics on the internet to understand what they were saying. It sounded kinda like
RawrRawrscreamrawr without the helpful lyrics. :S

They think jsut cos your on your own, they can pick on you. A broken jaw and numerous bruises begs to differ . Sadly, i did get beaten into the ground, and kicked. God bless the timely intervention of a man with a spade. I do love my naibour

I have wrapped what I want to send but feel it needs more protection now.
Rather pour it into a condom and swallow it. That way customs won't bust you - great success!

That is just. Wow. I really didn't expect that comment.
Anyway.
I'm feeling pretty sick right now since I just ate almost a whole pot of curry to myself and had around 6 bags of nik nak crisps today (ill burn most of that off with some lengthy cycle rides this week)

You're going to hate the next two weeks after they come out. No solid foods. It's like everyone picks those two weeks to make nachos, popcorn, bacon, hamburgers, and pretty much everything else that smells really freaking awesome

Anyways, i now officaly HATE coca cola! It will make your minis smell like spunk
Can't wait to graduate in less than a week. I'm sorry, but when a kid dies, we go to his grave, and my classmates are saying things like "Hey, this is pointless, but we got out of class!" It's not a place I want to be.....
I cut my face bad today shaving. I think im going to start doing it every few days.
Its itchy, I hate having so much at such a young age it makes me look like im a pedophile. On top of this I always cut myself when it gets to be about a inch or so long.

How many blades does your razor have? Because with my razor I almost have to deliberately nick myself in order to get a cut.
Look for something called "Rolling Razor". It's expensive, but it's the best investment I've made to date in shaving my face.
And do listen to what the site suggests. Get more than just one set of blades from them at the time of purchase. It could be you have very little stubble or hair to begin with, and shaving without shaving cream in that case will usually result in nicks.

So you're attend a grad school for terminally ill nihilist kids who are soon to graduate?

You're complaining about it? I'm 20 years old and by the end of the week, I've got facial hair on me that would make a 50 year old proud. -THAT- sucks to shave.
Same here. I've finally resorted to letting it grow some half an inch and trim it every few days when it becomes annoying. Besides, makes it look cool, like i have better things to do than give myself a good clean-shave Another word of advice : get a Gillette Fusion : 5 blades and you have to be either really really really dumb or truly suicidal to nick yourself while shaving
. Well, moving to another town that's about an hour away.
. I need to be warm, not hot, not freezing, warm dammit!
