JofaGuht Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I know moderaters aren't supposed to put up pointless threads and whatnot, but I thought I'd donate to the activity of the forums. Right now I'm in a painful boring state of wanting to take a walk or something but not having the energy to. I am also, for some strange reason, in the mood to watch The Little Princess. But I do not own the film and do not remember if it is any good (it's been about seven or so years). I do not have to the patience to watch a film, but I jarred my head on a glass globe causing it to shatter today (the globe, not my head), and my light-headedness is keeping me from going anywhere. So....what current mental state are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Your current mental state sounds boring (I guess you've snapped out of it by now) and I'm in the middle of a similar state. I want to walk over to my own room and type down something, but I don't have the energy to get up and do so. I hope you got to see that movie, though I have absolutely no idea what it's like.

JofaGuht Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have moved on to a more suitable state. I no longer wish to see that film. I'm not too sure what it's like either, but from what I remember, it's sort of Big Fish-esque except with a little girl at an orphanage or something.

VampireNaomi Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I'm still in the same state, though I now have a different goal. Yesterday I realised that Jonathan Crane is not just some random guy who had an appearance in Sandman, but an actually full-fleshed Batman villain. Now I want to take my bike and ride it 10km to the nearest magazine stand to see if they have any Batman comics. But again, I don't have the energy. That movie doesn't ring any bells, but it sounds like something I would have loved as a kid. What does "suitable state" mean in your terms?

JofaGuht Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Suitable as in comfortable and in having the ability to get things acclomplished. Although I am not getting things acclomplished, I realize I have the ability to, and that's all I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I guess that's the best possible state of mind there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necroman Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 This sounds weird, what the hell are you doing people? State of mind... ah, what the hell, let's see, I'm waitng for a good idea to what to do in life exept the smoking and the drinking and the women... well not the women. I'm looking for inspiration to writing down some songs and it's not working, and I have a gig to do tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Virus Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 What d' you mean exactly with a five mile venture? It sounds interesting. --------------- As for myself, well... Last Friday, since both of my parents weren’t home; by 8 PM, I put on my hat, my trench coat and a couple of other (rather “Noirish”) clothing, and started to walk alone. I had no place to go, so I decided to go from bar to bar (Mind you, I do not drink), and simple pass the night like that. I had diner at an old restaurant, and by 11 PM, I went to a classic bar, which has the look of the 30s that I like so much. There, I played pool with a couple of strangers and drank some coffee. Finally by 1 AM, I decided it was time to go home, and started to walk back home. There’s a fifty-block distance between my house and the center of the city (where the bar is located), so I spent the long walk meditating and reflecting. I finally arrived home by half-past three, and realised that I have spent one of the best nights of my life. After reading this boring story, I hope that you get the state of mind that I constanly live in; and perhaps even realise the sort of amazinlgy strange and lonely perosn I am. I'm always quite nostalgious, and right now, I'm full of melancholy over this past incident. In the words of the beautiful Lauren Bacall, “I’m essentially a loner”. What the point of this boring anecdote is, I can’t remember, but I hope that you enjoyed it or whatsoever… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Ahh, the city at night. You are envied, my friend. I too enjoy walks at night...though I'm afraid my age restricts me to just walking. What city was this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Virus Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I live in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. I'm young, but due to my height, my voice and clothing style, I tend to look older. But unfortunately, this city is not the safest in the world, so I tend to limit my adventures to only a samll amount per year. "Is there anything more beautiful than the city at night?" And were are you from, mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I'm from the east coast of NH, USA. It's rural, compared to most areas. Too rural for my tastes; I'm planning on moving to somewhere a little more sprawling after I finish school. Fortunately, the area is very cultured, (contrary to popular imagery) so my life isn't entirely devoid of escapes. I live in a large town with a bustling downtown area, supplementing my cravings for a city environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Virus Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I like rural towns, but I don't picture myself there. However, there's nothing more beautiful than a roadtrip along rural scenery. I've always liked the landscapes on the USA, but I have always wanted to visit the Eastern and Western coasts of that country. Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread...

JofaGuht Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 I just know my fond memories of being ten years old and being dazzled by Sydney at night. St. Louis ain't bad though. Too bad in actuality I live forty miles west of it (oh, my precious Wildwood/Chesterfield, how I look forward to abandoning you one day) but I'm still content in who and where I am. [What d' you mean exactly with a five mile venture? It sounds interesting. I know a cut-through in the woods that leads me to the road that takes me to my friend's house. It's about five miles, and I've always wanted to walk it, but I've never gotten the chance to until Monday. I also added some slight inebriation to my conciousness on the walk, and that's what added the "venture" part. Good story, by the way. Virus, I believe you and I have a lot in common.

Klia Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 This is strange talking about rural areas and whatnot. Where I grew up it was of to the side of a city, near a beach, but it was so tiny. Nothing happened there, it seemed untouched by the city. But then I moved and now it's in disrepair. When I first moved here it was a TINY town. Really really tiny, but with millions of roads it's now becoming a city unto itself. I really have no problem with it but all the same I'm going to move out, Truth be told I don't like staying in one place too long. I hate brand new areas and I hate really old areas. I need a middle area and when that middle leans too far to one side I'm ready to get up and moving. Unfortunantly I will never have that option. Well...only if I live in a mobile home but I know my parents would never approve of that. Just mentioning it to them sets them on edge. They have big plans for my tv worldwide acting news career. Or something like that. When I picture myself living alone, I see myself living in a mobile trailer, somewhere with a lot of trees, always a bit on the cold side. The place has a lot of people but also in trailers. Hmm...sounds like I'm aiming for white trash. I just think it's interesting to see different people and live different lifestyles. Last thing that I need to bother you all with...my dream career would be in a small band with my friends and being a struggling artist. Now I'm starting to see why people laugh at my ideas.

El Virus Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Good story, by the way. Virus, I believe you and I have a lot in common. So do I, Jofa. I think it was you who once mentioned that had followed a noise through the woods, or something like that. Oh, and walking through the forest has got to be one of the most "feeling estimulating" things out there. Too bad I'm sorrounded by miles of asphalt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yeah, that was me. I was chasing music, which I don't really do anymore. But, never say never. Walking through the forest is very estimulating until you walk right into one of those human-sized spiderwebs with one of those fat, angry garden spiders resting in the middle with her eggs. Then it can become somewhat disconcerting. That sort of thing won't happen to you as much when cruising pubs. But come the time the leaves fall over here, which will be very soon, I'm going to spend quite a lot of my time in the woods. Far into the dip behind my house is a meadow. It's a very surreal place. Because where I live there are trees EVERYWHERE. So to be walking through the forest and all of a sudden walk into a very large area with absolutely no trees is really strange. The place has sort of become a sanctuary since then. But it's impossible to get there in the summer! So I'm looking forward to returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velasco Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Walking about in my hometown isn't a great experience. I usually rush the walk so I can get to my destination. I'd like to move to Edinburgh someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it can become somewhat disconcerting. That sort of thing won't happen to you as much when cruising pubs. Well, walking into pubs has got many dangers of its own; but compared to spiders, they cease to be important. I tend to go to a small town called Miramar on my vacations (I think I have mentioned this already), which has got a great scenery, on one side you have the beach (I'm not a particular fan of beaches, but they are a nice to watch), on another you've got high cliffs wich directly fall into the ocean, a nice oldish city, and finally a great amount of woods & forest. That, in my opinion, is the perfect mixture of estimulating places, and the forest are similar to that place you described. Living in (near, in your case) St. Louis must be nice, I have a sudden interest in visiting it now... another thing I love to do, as I mentioned earlier, is going on a roadtrip. There is nothing more relaxing than just drive (or be in the back seat) of a car. Though I'm not legally allowed to drive yet, I'm waiting for the time I can, and just drive away on my free time.

90SK Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I’d have to agree with you on that. Indeed, it’s very relaxing. My dad and I take road trips occasionally. When we do, it's general about 5 hours away to upstate NY, during which we listen to Sherlock Holmes stories on cassette, and consume excessive amounts of bubble gum (the tradition started when we bought gum to keep our ears from popping when we went to Vermont, which plays host to some higher altitude roadways). Generally, I prefer the actual drive as opposed to the visit at the destination. When I scrounge up a means of transportation, It'll be great to get to know the road a little better.

JofaGuht Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Living in (near, in your case) St. Louis must be nice, I have a sudden interest in visiting it now... Well I've got St. Louis pride but I'm not sure if I would have it if I didn't grow up there. Pretty much it's exactly like Kansas City. And Indianapolis and Cincinatti pretty much all the midwestern cities you can think of. There's some cool independent and cultured areas(though hard to find, they're the best places), some dangerous gang-infected areas(where I lived before we moved west), but the majority is the franchise, brand-name chains of stores and malls and restaurants like most of the US. Then you go west of that where I live and you get the third choice again, except more spaced out and with more methlabs. But the trees make up for it. Trees are very cool; I think they beat the crap out of Wal-Mart. But at least St. Louis has it's own type of pizza. Which is also the best pizza. There's New York(pan crust with mozzarella), there's Chicago(deep dish with all kinds of cheese the majority of which is mozzarella), and the great St. Louis pizza (flat, crisp and flaky crust with PROVELONE cheese. Us St. Louisans seemed to be the only ones quick enough to catch onto the fact that provelone tastes much better than mozzarella on pizza.) Of course there's also California pizza, but that's not really pizza anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice description of your city, by the way. I've been to Georgia (don't ask why) some time ago, and if St. Louis is something like those rural areas, then it must be very nice.

JofaGuht Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 I've never been, but I highly doubt that rural Georgia is at all like rural midwest. The regions are in general just very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
