Hey, Tyrone, Cog and Snowbird - may I join in? Oh, hi Terry!
I am enjoying the repartee amongst you.
Hi CoCo, of course you may join in. I love reading your posts, and I hope you're not offended by this, but until recently, I thought you were a female! All of your posts are so tender and poignant that I could only conceive of them as having been written by a woman.
Hey Cog, Terry, and you too, Tyrone. I enjoyed out little verbal sparring, also. Until next time.
Snowbird

Sorry I missed this one. Looks like good clean fun.
Great thread. Tyrone, I'm not sure how anyone could humiliate you.
Terry, the thing we've been waiting for on this thread - what was the concert???

Well Seeker, I could write a nice little essay, on that if you want, but it's Terry's thread. My life comes out on this board in bits and peices. I can be in a three peice suit and act like gentlemen, or dawn my street clothes and talk like a degenerate. I will talk to just about anyone on this board, smart, not so smart, silly or stupid, I don't care. So long as people give me my dignity. I am no one special. If I detect disrespect, I may give the benefit of the doubt, but if I feel in my gut there's something up, you will see the transformation of Jekyll and hide. I must protect what is left of my self esteem. I have been into self destructive thinking and lifestyle for a long time, and can't take anymore hits. I must protect the vulnerable inner child. All I can say is, it took a concerted effort, and a lot of hard vigorous work to bring me to my knees.
Since I have been to only one concert in my life, I can't even beleive I'm running a music thread. Hope you had fun Terry. You rebellious, party animal you!
"I am no one special."
Well, Tyrone, I think there are a lot of folks on this board who would beg to differ. I'm one. Protect what you have to for yourself. I totally respect that.
I get out to see as much music as I can - attended a concert today in fact. But I must say that I tend to stay below the radar. My last big name concert was seeing Bob Dylan about 4 years ago, and it's probably the last one of its type I'll go to. Love those concerts by wonderful musicians that you don't have to pay $75 for a ticket, and you still get to hear world class music from kick ass performers.

The first and only concert I ever attended was Freakin Corey Hart. Not Black Sabbath, or Ozzy or anything like that. It came before a judicial comittee and I was banned from going. At this point in my life I was about 18 years old. I had lived a flawless life as a witness up until this point from birth and my intentions were pure. I told them " I'm going anyways". They knew dam well that there were no grounds for me not to go.
When word got around about what I was up to, the elders daughters chimed in and said if he can go, were going too. This alarmed the elders so they went with their daughters to make sure everything was gonna be cool. Basically to keep an eye on everyone.
It was a very strange expereience. I went to see the concert and the elders went to see me. I couldn't let loose or enjoy anything. I couldn't understand why all the people were waving there hands in the air and swaying. I was more fascinated to tell you the truth about the dynamics of the crowd, which I felt no part of. This is just a tiny example of how these pricks were up my ass. It has effected me to this day.
Thanks, by the way Seeker, for the kind words.
Terry, the thing we've been waiting for on this thread - what was the concert???
Mandy Patinkin!
One man and a pianist held the audience in thrall for 2 hours and it was pure magic!
What a talent!
Yes! We need some intellectual stimulation! Help, Terry, where are you?
Does anybody else miss the heavy meat and potatoes that are Terry's post topics?
terry I believe I have found the ultimate past time/intelectual pursuit
Understanding ones own self , delving into what constitutes a human , the underlying reality of our perceptions.
Don't confuse this with self seeking in a vain and purile type, But the real question that satisfies like fine wine or a good meal "What am I"
In the end one must simply achieve ones own understanding of self without outside influence.
What is better than knowledge? Understanding/experience
Each day we are born anew and the quest begins again, this is partnered with using the insights to help/understand others.
Whats finer than that
