every song on "Playing The Angel" (i just bought the album) is really great! I am a big fan, but didn't get around to buying/listening to the latest album till now and not one track on it was unimpressive :wink: some fav. tracks: -The Sinner In Me -I Want It All -Damaged People

=Recent Music Moments= The day I went in for my formal interview at the Gap (where I am currently employed...as of a few days ago) *pats self on back* :smug: As I listened to my interviewer, I faintly heard the song "Float On" by Modest Mouse. And I gotta say that that song is really awesome to hear at times like that. It seemed to be playing for me as a good sign, whether I got the job or not :wink: Then we watched this video (during training) about the history of the Gap... They got to some Gap highlights of 2000...the song "Yellow" by Coldplay :rolleyes: played and the WHOLE song was actually played on the video...which was a cool :cool: feeling then on my very first day of work there, I walked in and a song by Dave Matthews Band ( I can't remember just which song it was right now :thinking: played... :cry2: that was the ultimate and I love my job!

:nice: :laugh4:

Reilly (and others) , in my threads, no on has to worry about whether or not someone will like what they say, I want everyone to feel like they can think what they want and write what they think...natural-like :wink: I dunno, I think it doesn't necessarily mean that there is only ONE ...but with the one you DO happen to choose, the two can love one another immensely and you don't have to "stumble" upon them...I refer whoever it is you choose, your heart loves everything and you can always feel that deep feeling for one another. Sure, people will have their problemos, because nothing is perfect, but the love that existed in them from the beginning, never dies...I do believe it exists.. you made some nice points there, though :wink:

:toff:

oh, poor baby! :cry2: (i am forever leaving my rings in bathrooms, and never getting them back!) :rolleyes: my apartment got broken in to, and my art supplies stolen. While the supplies are replaceable...some portfolios went missing and artwork cannot ever ever be replaced. getting thieved is one of the worst, down-right disgusting feelings. My :heart: goes out to you, lovely .

I think my username proves the type of genius that I am :smug: I mean, it's a line in the song "Harmless" and it includes my name: Crystal plus, I am pretty sure my comments couldn't be given to you any more clearly!

Yet despite all the massive increase in our wealth in the last 50 years our levels of happiness have not increased. "Standard of living has increased dramatically and happiness has increased not at all, and in some cases has diminished slightly," said Professor Daniel Kahneman of the University of Princeton. "There is a lot of evidence that being richer... isn't making us happier" The research suggests that richer countries do tend to be happier than poor ones, but once you have a home, food and clothes, then extra money does not seem to make people much happier. It seems that that level is after average incomes in a country top about £10,000 a year. Scientists think they know the reason why we do not feel happier despite all the extra money and material things we can buy. First, it is thought we adapt to pleasure. We go for things which give us short bursts of pleasure whether it is a chocolate bar or buying a new car. But it quickly wears off. You can't take a grouch and make him giggle all the time I think this much is true (and I agreed with some other things too :wink: ) At least, in my personal standards...Having the essentials makes me happy, and not having them, gets me stressed. I can deal without the extras and I don't get stressed NOT having them but other people standards are totally different. like, if like, scientist are measureing two people and you have someone like me, and then someone who has really high standards of living (meaning they need things that are really trully "unnecessary") you get jacked up results... so the measuring might be a tough thing :confused:
