the theraputic question of the day 4/7/11

"There once was a man from mantuckett..."


hahahaha jk jk XD


but that's sort of a tough question...it seems to warrant en essay or small novel...

I was born, I caught onto music in elementary school.
In middle school I was trying to survive a meaningless life.
In high school I started playing guitar instead of piano/vocals.
After high school I'm joining the US Navy,
if we pull out of the middle east ("completely") before my 20 years come I'm moving to the Marine corps. If not I'll stay in the Navy for life (or as long as I can)

born dec,2,94
homeschooled kindergarten to.present
pickd up guitar age 13
began learning basic chords and such.

lived in the city for 14years
moved to the country 2 yrs ago
had nothing at all to do with my time cept play guitar,until i got to technically good.shred faster than sound itself
.found this forum which inspired me to learn theory,gettn there too.
thats basically it.

My life story would be boring. It's the parts of me that I had to kill that would make a good story!

Actually, I dont remember ever to be borned... But there are rumours that I tried strangle midwife. I grow up with great parents, did what all normal kids do, Vandalize everything... hurtyourself with stupid ideas and cause parents nervebreakdownsyndroms... I had rich childhood. There, I got my first contact to music and I got my first instrument. An Amiga computer... And a Tracker.

Then I got to the 18.

I regained my consiousness about at age 23, with the problem how the hell all that happened and how the hell I get myself on book of living again...then luckily I found a very special girl. My wife. Then I got my first kid at age 24 and... I got my license to "be a normal human being"... well... that failed on few years later when I had to look to the other side... again....

Luckily, I regained my consiousness very soon after that only half an year later... and with big help of dear friends of mine, life continued like it was. Then I found an instrument again, it was guitar this time.

That was a total reborn, I found that if and WHEN I want out of this friggin everyday chaos, Its playing, its music.

and now after few years gone with music, Philosophy and all kind of culture oriented stuff... I am what I am...IF.. I am.

Emp

ps. I decided to leave all the job stuff aside. Nothing could be more boring.

Ditto... except for change the birth date to June 26 of 94 and change to lived in the city for 12 years moved to the country 4, almost 5 years ago. Always been homeschoooled. Never known any different. And over the past year I learned tons of stuff about fixing cars. ( you learn a ton working by yourself) and now I have a job at Subway where I work about 20hrs a week while the rest of the time I'm either playing guitar or working on my truck. I'm also really involved in my church where I play in three of the four bands that we have there and also me and a few friends from there have played some small places here and there. :P

Born May 25, 1991.
been to 6 different school districts(not schools but entire districts) since 1st grade(and 3 different high schools).
Picked up a guitar at age 12.
Have always had a yearning to play lead guitar.
Have lived in Arizona for most of my life, but spent 2 1/2 years in Nebraska.

Still trying to get my own band together, but I have been searching for a cover band to help get some cash in my pocket...

I didn't start living until i picked up the guitar. And now just trying to survive the crazy life of being a teenager. That is all.

@ledzeprox13 haha i agree.

@luthier damn dude our lifes are a bit similar,you like the country?

A lot of very bad decisions up untill a few years ago.

I live as if life is lived lively. But a life that is lived too lively is a life that will soon not live. So live life.

I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted "Time Square, and step on it!"

i was born
in a dump
nice sisters
but my brother stunk

found a place
i wanted to be
got a girl
and a family

picked up a tune
started to stum
my love affair
has just begun

@tsb i like your story/lyrics

@gshredder Yes, most of the time. The only part I really don't like at the moment is that all my friends live half an hour to an hour away from me and I don't have my license yet. Sometimes, being homeschooled and being at home all the time can drive you crazy ya' know it?

Thanks shred!

I was born and raised down in Alabama
On a farm way back up in the woods
I was so ragged that folks used to call me Patches
Papa used to tease me about it
'Cause deep down inside he was hurt
'Cause he'd done all he could


My papa was a great old man
I can see him with a shovel in his hands, see
Education he never had
He did wonders when the times got bad
The little money from the crops he raised
Barely paid the bills we made


For, life had kick him down to the ground
When he tried to get up
Life would kick him back down
One day Papa called me to his dyin' bed
Put his hands on my shoulders
And in his tears he said


He said, Patches
I'm dependin' on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it's all left up to you


Two days later Papa passed away, and
I became a man that day
So I told Mama I was gonna quit school, but
She said that was Daddy's strictest rule


So ev'ry mornin' 'fore I went to school
I fed the chickens and I chopped wood too
Sometimes I felt that I couldn't go on
I wanted to leave, just run away from home
But I would remember what my daddy said
With tears in his eyes on his dyin' bed


He said, Patches
I'm dependin' on you, son
I tried to do my best
It's up to you to do the rest


Then one day a strong rain came
And washed all the crops away
And at the age of 13 I thought
I was carryin' the weight of the
Whole world on my shoulders
And you know, Mama knew
What I was goin' through, 'cause


Ev'ry day I had to work the fields
'Cause that's the only way we got our meals
You see, I was the oldest of the family
And ev'rybody else depended on me
Ev'ry night I heard my Mama pray
Lord, give him the strength to face another day


So years have passed and all the kids are grown
The angels took Mama to a brand new home
Lord knows, people, I shedded tears
But my daddy's voice kept me through the years


Sing
Patches, I'm dependin' on you, son
To pull the family through
My son, it's all left up to you


Oh, I can still hear Papa's voice sayin'
Patches, I'm dependin' on you, son
I've tried to do my best
It's up to you to do the rest


I can still hear Papa, what he said
Patches...

Phip: you have a good voice!

@ luthier i feel ya bro,i havnt seen any of my old friends in 2 years,bein homeschooled and stuck in a house with your parents all day can drive you up a wall.i dont got a licsence either.

@gshred Yeah man, seriously guitar really is "theraputic" to me. It helps me get away ya know? I would literally die without music. I can't wait to get my license man. I'm almost 17... geeze.

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
Cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo
