My little Xmas present to myself.
Here's the family picture:
Also, I thought I should add that while getting a MBPr is a ******* ridiculously expensive gift to get to yourself, there's more behind it than meets the eye. Most of you probably know about my past few months, or years really, with the depressions, homelessness, being poor to getting a well paid job, the separation/divorce, the suicidal ideation and all that crap... I feel that all of it has come to that moment when the bubble is going to burst. I'm at a crossroad here: either I stick and fight, or I just give up, and my energy is running low. Dangerously low. These gadgets and **** I'm buying myself is somehow symbolic to show myself that there's more to life that is worth fighting for, and it's not the gadgets themselves, but the passion I have for the hobbies I love - if the everyday hobby and passion isn't worth staying alive for, then what is? Like I said though, my energy is almost completely depleted and so is my wallet for now, and I truly feel that while I want to go one direction at my crossroad, I'm subconsciously headed the opposite direction. Also, my pdoc has quit her job to move to another city, my counselor retired this fall, my new counselor doesn't give a **** and I'm too depleted to make some noise over at the clinic to find a new one.
Sorry, I shouldn't constantly bother this thread with my crap, but I really don't have anyone to talk to in my real life. My two friends aren't close enough to talk about these things, and my best friend used to be my wife and suffice to say, I'm not gonna go cry on her shoulder.
I don't know what to say but I read your posts.
Thanks man. I appreciate it. I hate being this drama whore, but today's been an exceptionally bad day.
Today I gave a try to Aphex Twin's "Syro".
Song #8 Circlont14 ( 2.45 - 4.00) a Russian lady repeats one word "носочки" ( nosochki) which means "socks". This was, probably, the only word in the album which madenosense to me. I need to listen more to decide if I really like it ( I mean the album). At first listen I kind of enjoyed it.
As of 2014, Aphex Twin lives with his two sons—from his first marriage—and his second wife, a Russian art student.
I had to wear thick gloves when working with the machine – on record and replay the reels of steel tape whirled round at quite a speed and during fast rewind it was wise to step right back in case of breakage. [....] Rowena Taylor had actually edited Marconi Stille steel tape recordings. This involved using a spot welder. She told me that this resulted in a fade-out/fade-in at the edit. This was caused by the temperature of the tape exceeding its Curie point destroying the magnetism.
