ZarK Dude. I hope you find all that you are searching for and come back more whole than your statements and sentiment reflect at this time... I do not necessarily support what you feel you need to pursue to be all you can be but I wish you all of the best nonetheless. P.S. You'll need more than a week for brain functions to normalise after leaving the green. More like 4-6 weeks if a regular user, and no, the greens are not physically addictive, often just used as a crutch or blamed for underlying issues that need to be sorted out with a clear mind and/or professional help... Best of luck with all your endeavours...
Kush Come, on guys, I was enjoying the back and forth with you guys trying to convince Dan not to join up, 8 pages and we are done? Back to guitars already? I know there are some serious topics discussed here but am I the only one who sees the absurdity in all of this? Its like arguing about what to do with the winnings after winning the lotto when you haven't even bought the ticket yet. Thoroughly entertaining, at the very least, a certain, 34-page thread comes to mind. I agree with one comment posted earlier: seeking counsel on such personal decisions in such a public manner is not really the "done" thing in my opinion, but I suppose it works for some people. I have no regrets in my life and I mostly put it down to the fact that every decision I made, good and bad, was my own and I learned and grew from it all. I feel like when you take to facebook, twitter or forums in order to convince yourself, you are giving up ownership of your self somehow. For all we know Dan will not make it past the entrance test, not being pessimistic or anything, but there is a reason why not just anyone can make the cut. And I wonder what makes Dan think things will go easier for him as a musician in the UK? No matter where you are, there is no circumventing the hard work you need to put into making a success of anything, and there are other ways to get direction in life and see the world. (BTW, wasn't there mention of taking some work aboard a cruise ship in a earlier thread? Perhaps I am confusing threads). And even if you don't actively seek it out, life will sooner or later smack some maturity and sense into you, something will ALWAYS happen. Life works itself out like that oftentimes.
[deleted] I, for one, am with you about making your own decisions. My life should/ could have been a lot easier if I had taken other people's advice, but "no", gotta do it my way... hind sight is always 20/20, but mistakes should be fun at least. I am going to speak up though, when I hear someone say that they're happy to lose their life. There are MUCH more fun ways to lose your life, and I will certainly try those if I have the good fortune to live up to about 80. Drag car racing comes to mind. I will also take so many drugs/ steroids, I won't know if I'm Arthur or Martha. Till then I'm going to hold tight though. If you want to make money though, that's a different thing... -you can go be a game ranger (play with guns...?) - become a Pretoria- metal - head porn star (I'm sure you have a market for that...hey?) - take up salsa dancing and find a sugar mommy - become a personal fitness trainer , or even better a Kung Fu instructor(you're keen on the fitness thing clearly) So many many options.
