Basically, he's upset that he can't aid and abet in the theft of music any more, or at least, can't do it as efficiently. He's irked because he can no longer go around defrauding the musicians he claims to support as easily as he once could.
I use torrents but only for music I have purchased before and lost/misplaced/scratched or things that are not available any more. Also if I want an album but am going to see a band live I will download it and then buy it from their merch table so they get more money.

In my job, I'm supposed to be completely neutral, and I'm actually really good at that, but I've got this one case where one of the parties is just an absolute a$$hole, and it's really hard to ignore that.
In general, I have a better life than I deserve and it's an honor to be here on planet Earth with the rest of you motley crew of souls.
That said...
I have really bad ADD. Therefore, at age 40...
It takes me 6 months to read a book -- so I better like it.
I've been "learning" guitar for 3 years. Otherwise known as "occasionally-picking-it-up-and-stuff."
Sometimes I have the most interesting and amazing daydreams with deep psychological and spiritual themes...and forget them 10 minutes later.
I've written 1/3 of a screenplay that everyone thinks would be a blockbuster hit. I can't motivate myself to write any more. I already know the story and it's cool - why fuss with all that monotonous WRITING?
I have a decent IQ and life experience to draw from, but I forget the simple task I'm supposed to write down, schedule, or complete next. The result being I take orders from people who desperately need help that I am not invited to give.
-- We all have the experience of having an answer for a problem the world hasn't even noticed. But when it finally gets around to asking ME, I'm trying to remember where my pants are. --

Next time you go to your Doctor, tell him/her about this. They will probably prescribe adderall, or something similar to it. Try it, it may help this significantly, or it may not help at all.

I appreciate your willingness to help.
I've tried just about everything over the past 15 years. They help, but the side-effects are not worth it. I think I've decided that I will just be me, and the world will have to suck it up on this one.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR THE ICE/SNOW/SHIT STORM IS MOVING THROUGH MY TOWN AND THE REBELUTION CONCERT GOT POSTPONED TIL NEXT WEEK GRRRRRR But at least it didn't get completely canceled :]

Just be you!! My 16yo daughter has AD/HD, and can't take meds because of a heart problem.. We're all just used to her being that way!! Be yourself, no matter how that is & your true friends will accept you anyway!!

The side effects vary from person to person, and for some people, it is simply not worth it
Grrrrrr - sometimes it is just way way too hard to be a mom. I hate saying no when the teenager wants to go to a concert but 6 hours away is just too far for her to go at 17 years old for a show.

At 17 I went with two friends to Deer Creek for two nights of the Grateful Dead 7 hours from home. Mom was not thrilled, but I made it work.

Do what i did....go with them. If you don't want to go to the show there are other things to do.

We can go out drinking, I am sure plenty of infopeeps would like to meet up. Plus at 17 you can make her drive
I agree...go with her. Who knows, you may end up having a blast.
Now the downside (if you can call it that) is that if you engage in this type behavior (going with them to shows, picking them up from raves in downtown, etc.) then you have a whole little gaggle of 16-17 year olds who think that you are way cooler than their mom, and next thing you know they're all wanting either to come with you to Bonnaroo, talk their moms into letting them go, or talk their moms into going...lol all based on personal experience.....

I've been mulling this idea over before it was mentioned here - but her crappy reaction to me this morning telling her that I was still thinking on it has me leaning towards not being very accomodating. It's a middle of the week show (but she's on Spring Break)

And this....I'm already taking her to Bonnaroo this year and we are considering Memphis in Mud because so far - just on who is rumored - I think we may want to go this year which means she would get to go to two festivals on us this year already.
Someone is doing tai chi outside of the library on campus, and of course everyone in here is laughing at him and making fun. One person even went out there and chastised him, interrupting his flow. Grrr to people and their hangups.
I thought this might help some people who have some Grrrrr. My favorite feature on Inforoo this time of year is:
The ignore function makes this message board so much better. I can ignore the people who think there must be something wrong with you if you don't like their favorite band. I can ignore the people who complain about the lineup before it is even announced. I can also ignore the people who think the lineup is EPIC when only three or four bands have been announced (they annoy me just as much as the people who complain about the lineup before it is announced). I used to just Leno people who made stupid and arrogant comments but now I can just ignore them and give Coco to people that deserve it.

A few months ago, we let a friend who was having a rough time (lost job and wife) stay with us for awhile. He stayed 3 months and was an absolutely terrible houseguest (as in, he would randomly hook sh!t up to our computer without asking, twice used up all the hot water before I could take a shower in the morning, constantly took Josh's seat on the couch without any consideration for the idea that Josh might want to sit there, ate our food pretty much every day and only once offered to pay for $30 worth of groceries (he did give us $300 when he moved out but he didn't pay us any rent or anything on the utilities for the 3 months he was there, and he was collecting $400 a week in unemployment the whole time), put his kid's poopy diapers into our kitchen trash can so that it made the whole kitchen stink, and on and on), but we lived through it and he got a job out of town and finally moved out a week and a half ago. Best day ever! We figured we could move on and hopefully start to hate him a little less now that he was no longer living in our apartment. A couple of days ago, he called to say he was coming to town for two nights and had no idea where he was going to stay. We figured it was only 2 nights, and it was obviously what he was fishing for, so we offered to let him stay with us. He was supposed to come late Wed. afternoon and leave on Friday. We weren't looking forward to it but figured we could deal with it. (And he's got a 2-year-old here in town but no other friends he can stay with so we feel a little bad for him even though we can't freakin' stand him anymore). This morning, he sent us a text message saying he was on his way and would probably be at our house around 9 tonight. And he's still planning on staying until Friday. Didn't ask if it was cool for him to stay 2 extra days or anything. Just said he was on his way. What the hell?

^ Dang, you have alot more patience then I could muster. I absolutely hate moochers/bad house guests. When I stayed with a buddy of mine I kept his fridge full of beer and cleaned the apartment everyday. I kept it spotless and never made any trouble.
You get a CoCo point for your patience and for your awesome Charlie Kelly avatar.
Agreed x100. My aunt stayed with us for a few months...she didn't do a single thing around the house for us...if anything she would only wash the dishes SHE used instead of the whole sink. I ate a bowl of Cheerios from the box she bought, she saw me, and the next day wrote in big black Sharpie ALICE'S above the logo. I was 12 at the time. Ha! I can laugh at it now but people need to be a little more grateful!!
My complaint... I have a lead in a play that is in three weeks. I'm still on book. I'm also media director, and I have to have the entire program in the week before that, flyers and tickets today, and the HUGE six set flats painted the week before. Nothing has been started except squirming to memorize lines, and on top of all of that responsibility I go to school at 7AM every day and rehearsal until 6 PM, I work two jobs, volunteer, and have 1,000 other deadlines for scholarships, applications, art shows, and graduating in general. I'm in AP classes, too. I'm poor as hell - my mom hardly buys groceries because she eats at work, so I have to buy my own food, clothes, and everything else on top of a laptop, all of my tuition and fees because she doesnt agree with the college I'm going to, and uh...I gotta pay for my Bonnaroo ticket! I'm gonna be in serious debt until I'm 60. WOO! Whoever said senior year was easy is a liar and a fatmouth.
It's empty in the valley of your heart, the sun it rises slowly as you walk away from all the fears and faults you've left behind.
I need freedom now, and I need to know how to live my life as it's meant to be. I will hold on hope, and I won't let you choke on the noose around your neck. I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways - I'll know my name as it's called again.
grrr to being stalked via bbm. sometimes i wish i could turn bbm on my blackberry off. I can't just delete the person cause i normally dont mind talking.. but he WONT STOP MESSAGING ME.
;D
