AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW JONNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :blush:

We are quite scary, aren't we? :lol: I'm sure the guy's would think that if they took a look at the Guy thread... :wink3: :lol: I'm doing good! Hella busy, though. Junior year is going to kill me :rolleyes: :lol: How you doing? I'm actually just off to watch Seven. I've never seen it before, Gwyneth is in it, right? Ah, young Brad Pitt :wink3:

Oh, and I LOVE that Larry quote in your sig, iriden! Larry's great, he doesn't bullshit around :lol:

Heh, you're welcome. And oh yes, I quite enjoy my sig animation. :lol: :lol: :sneaky:

It's common knowledge amongst the rock music community that Coldplay fans are the most dangerous people on earth. :smug:

:uhoh:

I've kind of got a current obsession with CourtTV (don't know if you get that channel in the UK, probably don't). I watched 2 hours of Forensic Files last night. I think a lot of times it has to do with the severe abuse some people suffer as children. It's almost like if someone has a puppy and the dog is abused, then as it grows up it'll bite people, etc etc. Weird analogy, but it's similiar to the situations that people go through. Some killers are just sick, they might hear voices telling them to kill their children, or spouse, or whoever. Then others are just pure evil. Or maybe it's a culture thing, like what we see going on in the Middle East each day with suicide bombers. It's kind of interesting, but so depressing. I never feel bad for the killers, though. I feel bad for the victims.

Ooooooooh! :stunned: :wink3: I didn't buy the program, well. I bought Jasc's Paint Shop Pro, and it came with it free. It's the Jasc Animation program... I don't know if you can maybe download a free trial somewhere, I'm sure you can!

I wanted to kill someone who made fun of me, basically called me a fat ass, this past week. I really just wanted to snap his neck, then lock all the guys who laughed at the joke in the gym and light it on fire. Just thinking about that actually made me feel better. But I know I would never EVER EVER do something like that. I'd much prefer to just (as my friend Kelli suggested) castrate them. :smug: :lol:

Writing is a great cure to things, I find it helps me a lot. Also, when I went to see a therapist about my depressed feelings she told me that what helps to make you feel better is a healthier diet (I wasn't eating a lot of protein, I had to change that) and excercize. Not incredibly strenuous activity, but just a good run on the treadmill makes a world of difference, it really does. Plus you feel like you've accomplished something by the end of the work out. It's a great feeling! I hope you start feeling better :D Try writing about happy things, like music. Maybe write some goofy, funny poems. Push the bad thoughts from your mind for awhile and amuse yourself! :)

Thanks, it was pretty damn cool being that close! Too bad there's a size limit on photo hosting sites, the video goes on and Bono comes up closer. Pretty awesome. No, not pretty. It's just damn awesome. :lol: ;) I realized this morning I could make animations out of videos I took, so this new talent should keep me busy all weekend. I've got a few Coldplay videos from my concert that would be cool as animations! :idea2:

Hey hey...old man..no way :angry: *thinks when we was born* *realises he could me by father* :lol: :lol: daddyyyyyyy :rolleyes: :heart: :lol: :lol: :lol: It's even nicer in person. ;) I'm so used to liking men more than twice my age that it's just become normal, to me. Only rock stars, though. I don't go checking out every middle aged guy!!! :rolleyes: But thank you very much! I took the video, by the way. Very proud of that. My stupid hand gets in the way of Edge, though! :angry: :lol:

Um........... Where would the world take me..... Erm. It's a surprise, but I'm hoping for Mars. :huh: :lol: :lol:

Of course! :lol: :lol:

I felt just like that for the past few months. It's a difficult feeling, I understand you completely. It's not weird, and if you need to talk about anything I'll listen :) Don't worry, things WILL get better. My life certainly is improving, after quite a dark period. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel :D

:stunned: The more I think about it, the more freaked out I get..... And I wasn't even there! I was pretty sure I was standing amongst a few homicidal maniacs at my Robert Plant concert this past summer, but then again... they were all smoking out huge bongs. So.... :lol: :rolleyes:

Ha, awesome!

Here are a couple interviews with The Edge, the subject being the Music Rising (http://www.musicrising.org) campaign he helped found. Got them off Interference: http://www.calendarlive.com/music/cl-et-edge3feb03,0,2616460.story (You can listen to him on that link, as well) The Edge and U2 offer aid to New Orleans LOS ANGELES (AP) — A few years ago, New Orleans came to the rescue of U2's The Edge. Now he's paying the city back, helping provide instruments to musicians blasted by Hurricane Katrina. He and his band were in New Orleans in 2001 when tragedy struck at home. "We lost an awful lot of instruments in Dublin in a flood... The storage area where we had all our equipment was completely flooded. But luckily my main guitars were with us in New Orleans... the Gibson Explorer that I've had since I was 17-years-old, and the amplifier I've used on every album for every show since we got a record deal." In 2005, after Katrina devastated New Orleans — a city he calls "very unique and very special" — he was inspired to try to help. The result was Music Rising. For The Edge, aka David Evans, that relief work topped off a packed year of touring, family trauma and five Grammy nominations for U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The Grammys will be handed out Wednesday. The normally soft-spoken guitarist, 44, grows passionate when he talks about Katrina's impact and his efforts to help with Music Rising, which he organized along with Gibson Guitar, the Guitar Center Music Education Foundation and the MusicCares Foundation. "When I heard about the hurricane, the devastation of the city and the area, I pretty soon started thinking about the musicians, started to think about the cultural loss, not just to New Orleans, not just to America, but really to the world," he told the Associated Press. Does that mean he's planning to follow band-mate Bono's worldwide activist footsteps? Not likely, he responds. "Bono is kind of a one-off character in music. His skills as a communicator are amazing, and his powers of persuasion are equally amazing," he said, smiling. "I would never think of trying to take on quite that level of commitment." True, but New Orleans' mark on the modest musician — known for his humility as well as his thunderous melodies — runs deep. Rising Music is clearly a labor of love. In the early '90s, a visit with Bono to a small New Orleans club had an unexpected impact. "We walked in and the place was jumping. There was this little funk band, but they were all playing brass instruments, which is something I'd never heard of or seen before," he recalled. There, the pair saw a 12-year-old trombone player named Trombone Shorty. "We were just mesmerized by him," The Edge said. "I ended up with Bono, after a few tequilas, and we ended up dancing with a bunch of girls on the top of the bar. It was one of those sort of nights." The birthplace of jazz, and a major influence on rock and roll, New Orleans captivated his attention, he said. He returned last November and found a different, less fun-loving city — one torn apart by natural disaster and a lack of aid. "Going through the streets of New Orleans and seeing the homes of musicians I knew and respected, seeing Fats Domino's home completely destroyed ... It does bring it home in a very personal way," he said. At a recent Music Rising event in Hollywood, the native Irishman showed up in his customary beanie, black leather jacket, jeans and sneakers, and chatted easily with some New Orleans transplants. Affable and humble, he even asked for their e-mail addresses and talked about music "gear" — more a regular Joe than guitarist for one of the biggest bands in the world. U2, its long history including 11 studio albums and 16 Grammy wins, rocked the music world last year with its Vertigo 2005 tour, and was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As for its 2006 Grammy nominations — including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for Bono's emotional ode, Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own— The Edge said he has no expectations. "Being in the country the whole year, I almost felt like people would have been sick of us by now, that the last band they would want to see is U2." "I would be surprised if we won everything we were nominated for," he said, adding that How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was "a very strong record, I think maybe our strongest ever in terms of the overall range of the album." But the middle-aged musician acknowledged that newer Album of the Year nominees such as Gwen Stefani and Kanye West — whose albums he likes — may have an advantage. "I think in some ways people will go for something new, that's just arrived, me included," he said, a glint in his eye. The band plans to start working on new songs after returning from an upcoming tour in South America, he said. And watch out Rolling Stones: U2 won't stop touring any time soon. "We grew up on the road ... It's such an integral part of what we are. I don't think we could give up touring. I don't think we could do what the Beatles did, just pack it in." So there you go, U2's not going to quit touring! :lol: :D Not that that REALLY means anything, but whatever!

Maybe it's a will or something...... :huh: :lol: wtf

:rockstar: Never seen that one before, lmfao there are so many smilies I've been missing out on!!! :lol:

Hey, welcome! I'm sure you'll love it here! (And definately get 'Parachutes' if you haven't already, it's wonderful! :) )

Mandy, great pictures even for the seats! :) There's a small blessing about them not doing an outdoor tour this time around. There won't be those big ass poles in the indoor venues (I hope, at least there won't be at mine). I just found this smiley: :chinese: erm lmfao.... why is that a Chinese person? All Chinese people don't have buckteeth.... woooooooooow, Iaaaaaaaaaan :lol: :lol: :huh:

The world is my valentine :smug: :kiss:

Nope, I took it myself before my school dance. I was checking my lipstick with my camera (because I didn't feel like going to the bathroom to use the mirror) :lol: :lol:
