Same here - got any tips?

i love the guys, "my lifelong ambition is to sit in a chair to earn money"

you've swallowed hook line and sinker.

"just a suggestion", how about, doing something to change a society that offers you such miserable options.

while you're here. while you're alive. while you can.

The problem is I can't seem to not suck at writing lyrics.

then try staying very quiet until you have something worth saying, babble for brains.

and stop listening to all that garbage.

and give yourself time - it may take you thirty years

thirty years, to learn his style?
it takes thirty years to learn his style.

While I think this collection of words is meant as encouragement, there's a certain arrogance that comes across in it that makes me think you should try to "walk a mile in the other man's moccasins" before deciding that you know who has swallowed what in a society that's become so narcissistic that it feels that it deserves, and will take full advantage of, whatever good you may try to contribute.

At least, no one will ever be able to accuse you of not speaking your mind. I can respect that.

My ultimate ambition is to have an ambition, man.

Me to, my ultimate ambition is for you to also have an ambition.

[Aloysius]

Great. That makes one of us.

[xoxos]

rock pools to you mate and your f**king easy mouth. walking isn't sitting in chairs.

you can think what you like and you can see where it takes you as well. the extra frequent flyer miles don't bother me.

Well, xoxos, until you write a decent pop song, you are not an authority to call it garbage. I mean how many classical-trained musicians can write pop songs, lyrics and all? Freaks are required to get it done. Maybe that garbage is not that easy to create. Pop songs are not plugins. It's not math (okay maybe it is, partly). And who says that pop music is not useful to society? It sure is useful to me. Cured headaches and stuff. Made sucky days better. Triggered happy brain chemicals. Does it matter what triggers happiness as long as it does and it's not destructive?

And plus, how will I keep my so-called typing skills in shape if I don't type stuff? It's true, it's a selfish act. But at least it's honest and I am not belittling people. Also, xoxos, what if you are simply wrong? About everything? And garbage is not garbage?

[xoxos]

I am not belittling people.

erm,

posting this tripe in the middle of a dsp discussion isn't exactly the mark of respect.

I knew from a while back that he wasn't fond of taking a bath/shower. I'm not an antibathor nor a prolific boggerator. It's just that why can't I pick my nose during a scrabble game? It's not like I'm doing it to distract the opponent nor to intentionally pass germs, and you never really know who is passing germs, heck, homeless persons are not famous for being germophobic and "clean", am I homelessphobic for believing that, yes? no?... it's just that my nostril(s) were itchy/bothersome and I didn't have a Kleenex and it was a bored urgency of the moment thing that needed doing. And who knew a homeless-looking guy would formally complain about booger-picking?

you can f**k off and take mr. "i defend the right to be a cretinous dupe" with you posting that hideous garbage around people who are actually intending to accomplish things instead of fill the world with garbage.

for those of you who are troubled by this exchange, may i introduce you to the concept of *false advocacy* and a review of points made in mc900 ft. jesus "killer inside me".

This is the whole thing:

My suggestion is to find music you absolutely abhor and train yourself to accept it.

This refusal to accept and experience things outside your own sphere of what you subjectively define as "good" is the basis of your delusion about what things truly exist and are.

Speaking of abhor. Off topic a little bit. I abhor slow scrabble. I'm subjected to it a lot in online games of supposedly "speed" scrabble. It's very hard to accept. It's so boring. I would rather not experience it. I don't want to. But have to. Similar to a job. Any job. Except jobs that are called something like "music-maker" and "tournament blitz scrabble player". Dream jobs. There are no official blitz scrabble tournaments offline yet. Online, I have to multitask (scratch my posterior, pick my nose, strengthen immune system, try to compose a tune, etc) during their slow turns to cope with these slow players. I guess that's a form of acceptance. There are no hesitate-you-die rules that speed scrabble should have like they had in Jesse James days, presumably. Oh, well. No need to commit suicide.

Offline, booger-picking is not an acceptable form of multitasking. And yet not-bathing-for-weeks is tolerated at my city's scrabble club, I presume, because I swear the last time I was there a homeless person was there too playing... with me. My guess is that he was just there keeping warm because yeah I guess it was winter. Or maybe that wasn't a homeless person, maybe it was normal-state=stinky George Lucas. Not the famous director but some guy with two first names like Billy Bob that I haven't seen for a while and one that didn't have a huuuuuge beard but I knew from a while back that he wasn't fond of taking a bath/shower. I'm not an antibathor nor a prolific boggerator. It's just that why can't I pick my nose during a scrabble game? It's not like I'm doing it to distract the opponent nor to intentionally pass germs, and you never really know who is passing germs, heck, homeless persons are not famous for being germophobic and "clean", am I homelessphobic for believing that, yes? no?... it's just that my nostril(s) were itchy/bothersome and I didn't have a Kleenex and it was a bored urgency of the moment thing that needed doing. And who knew a homeless-looking guy would formally complain about booger-picking? Hey, how come KVR doesn't have a giggle emoticon? This one is too much:

Huh? Who was I belittling? Aciddose went off topic there and I was just replying to that. I was abhorring something. the stinky guy making a formal complaint about my nose-picking. Is that not abhorrable?

"Garbage" is an opinion and everybody is the authority on their own opinion.


Everything and everyone is garbage until proven otherwise... by ME!

Why couldn't this apply to the great xoxos? Give pop music a chance. It doesn't have to be ALL pop music. How can anyone abhorr all pop music and call it garbage? I gave atonal music a chance. Okay, I'm letting it rest at that since xoxos seems to be also letting it rest.

I've spent my career working in a creative field, so I'm pretty happy with where I'm at. I've never had any ambitions of fame and fortune. I guess my ultimate goal is just to "do good work".

[hivkorn]

do we need and ambition to make music ?
do we have to have ambition to enjoy life ?
something don't exist until you think about it...that's all...
Am I able to transcribe what I feel inside ?

If I did, I would've given them already. For the time being, though, I'm working towards entering a music school and getting a degree. That's a starting point at the very least.
