Charles J. White Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 well its the new set-up of the hi-fi as arrived time to go putting it together happy days are here again... also the novel I ordered as arrived today its " the story of Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon" some I`m in my happiest mood ever... well there`s also the everyday household works to be doing... which isn't the funnies we`d all like it to be... we`ve been thinking of moving to seek out better life for us... ooh bollocks better not forget the speaker cables are as I`d ordered as if there not SHITTY TIME IS HERE.. CONGRATS on the hi-fi!!! Very cool that someone else in this world has joined the club of listening to music on an actual fucking stereo - music on a computer sucks! I'm going to look for that book on Hoon, I sort of forgotten about him, I think, and I could be wrong, but I think he also sang on a GnR song as well.

Pagefan55 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think I have come to the conclusion that besides my wife and kids I'm alone and on my own. Which isn't so bad I guess. Sometimes I see people with tons of friends around them and I wish I could be so at ease in a room full of people but I'm scared as shite to express how I feel in person which bothers me because I'm not a retard - just guarded I guess. Music sort of gives me an escape. Lately I find myself writing a lot on sort of a blog/business thing as a way to just let thoughts out and others are free to read it. When I'm skiing or kayaking I do so with my ipod and it makes it a perfect day. It's so bad that when I pick up the phone to just call someone I have to stop and think about what I'm going to talk about instead of just letting it flow. In my line of work I actually have to shake the hands of strangers and talk in front of boardrooms of people and I'm good at it, but afterwards I stop and think about how it all went and I nit pick in my mind everything I said that was wrong which sort of adds to the problem. I think almost everyone can relate to how you feel, Charles. Many people -- even many outgoing "life of the party" types -- sometimes secretly feel shy and socially awkward. Many of us -- me included -- will sometimes have conversations and then later nit pick what we said and ask ourselves , "how could I have said something so stupid!" Ironically, many people who work with you, or who know you socially, probably envy your social skills and sometimes secretly think to themselves "Geez, I wish I was more like Charles, he has such good social skills and is so self-confident." It's true. So you're not alone....well, actually, you are alone. We are all alone. Completely alone. This is true no matter how many friends we may have. This "existential aloneness" is part of the human condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 ^^ Charles, the point I was trying to make above is that you are not alone in feeling shy and socially awkward in social situations. But you (and everyone else) are alone in the existential sense. It's part of the human condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Everyone is asleep in the house, and I need to wake them up in a few minutes, the kids have to eat and get ready for school soon. It really is wonderful when you wake up and throw the headphones and just listen to music while everyone is sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekfreak Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 the book on Blind Melon is a fabulous read check it out. is there any others whom have a passion for art, music, literature and knowledge. more and more knowledge is still my own personnel task, as I`ve found the more you now the less likelihood of falling into the trap of not understanding others which could lead you into missed belief of others which looking at past history takes you to a holocaust, which in turn will eat away your own HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!...

Charles J. White Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 In exactly 48 hours from now my son will turn 12 - it really is amazing how quickly time passes. When he was born, he was rather small, and I could hold him with one arm. Now he is a giant. And this morning when I woke up, it was to the sounds of an acoustic guitar, my daughter was playing her guitar which made me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) I have read 14 books about Frank Sinatra and I can without a doubt declare that there is no finer book about Ol' Blue Eyes than Will Friedwald's "SINATRA! THE SONG IS YOU: A Singer's Art". Forget all the gossip about JFK, Marilyn, the Mob and Ava...the music is the reason Sinatra matters. This book perfectly illustrates why he was important in the history and development of singing and the art of the popular song. Like Nick Tosche's Dean Martin biography "Dino" and Jerry Lee Lewis bio "Hellfire", Mel Tormé's "It Wasn't All Velvet", Donald Clarke's "Billie Holiday: Wishing on the Moon", Peter Guralnick's "Last Train to Memphis" and "Searching for Robert Johnson", and Greil Marcus' "Mystery Train", "SINATRA! THE SONG IS YOU" stands as one of the few books worthy of its subject...and mandatory for anyone who wants to understand pop culture in the the 20th century. Absolutely essential reading and demands a permanent place in any music lover's library. Not as great but still worthy of recommendation are these other Frank Sinatra books: "Sessions With Sinatra: Frank Sinatra and the Art of Recording" by Charles L. Granata. "THE WAY YOU WEAR YOUR HAT: Frank Sinatra and the Lost Art of Livin'" by Bill Zehme. "SINATRA: The Artist and the Man" by John Lahr. "FRANK SINATRA: Night and Day - The Man and the Music" by Fred Dellar and Mal Peachy. "Frank Sinatra, My Father" by Nancy Sinatra.

Charles J. White Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have to travel to Charlottetown Prince Edward Island, try and find that on a map! I Hotel room booked, and ready to go in a few weeks. I'm happy that I don't have a regular 9-5 because as much as sometimes I wish I did, it is nice to sort of just make my own plans every week. The downside, people phone me at all hours of the day. Overall not a bad a gig I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
