Ah, the dreaded digital sound. it's not all bad if you spend enough money on a decent CD player and of course you need a good pre-amp to go along with it. Cheaper systems tend to sound overly bright with CD. Even vinyl requires a decent turntable, cartridge, and of course phono pre-amp. my gripe is having to special order pretty much all my music. |

Seriously boys! I think I have problems that sometimes makes me worried and depressed. I'm 27 years old and I haven't ever had a single girlfriend in my life.... I don't know if prog makes people looks unattractive...?? I just get so upset because I can't understand women. Could be possible they are un-understandable??? Well... I think I may be crazy... Besides, I am trying to write a book since a couple of years ago but my job leave no time. I've got no enough money, no girl, no car, no own house, no father and my friends and family hate prog... Could you believe it??? Sometimes I have thought about suicide but I think I still have my life under control.... at least I guess so Prog Rock is an escape to my frustration!!! But the problems still continue, Dream Theater released Octavarium... That's unforgivable!!! ------------- ********** **razifa** ********** |

hey people, you live in US and Canada (and Antarctica) and think you've got problems??? okay, what was the list? 1. no job? yes, for two months. I'm comfortable, because -- 2. last job sucked. I've teached those students for 3 years and now I know, not suspect, I know the manhood is degrading. 4. money problems? last job bringed me around $4800 per year. that is pretty good for my country, I can buy my own house in... wait a minute... maybe, 12 years. if I learn to live without feeding... 5. social problems. here is post-USSR country. need I say more? 6. reality problems. no problems. just hate. and I can talk a lot on 7th choice. not now. maybe later. but that's nothing, I tell you. let's get back to choice 3. I live with two women. so I tell you: NEVER TRY THIS AT HOME I'm serious.
