Letting music become an obsession

[BlobVanDam]

H did what any sensible person should do if they suffer the misfortune of owning an Apple product: throw it down the drain.

Gadough..... you're alright.

I'm actually posting this on my Macbook Pro while listening to music on my iPod Classic and periodically texting a friend on my iPhone

was being sarcastic lol

Gadough, you have betrayed me. I thought we had something special.

[Gadough]

You are but one of many.

[Ħ]

We can be friends, BVD. I'm the one who actually threw it in a gutter.

[ytserush]

Don't have an Ipod or a computer filled with music, yet I'm obsessed with it.

[lateralus88]

There's no way I'm throwing away my computer, dude.

Okay. Well then...um...lol.

I'll think about it, but I'm not sure I'm ready for a new relationship right now after having my soul crushed by Gadou....................... sorry, got distracted staring at Gadough's avatar and now I forgot what I was saying.

[Gadough]

Yeah that happens sometimes, sorry.

[lateralus88]

Oh shit Drew isn't a dawg anymore.

[Gadough]

lol

The dog avatars may return in the future. For right now, I'm very content with Ariana.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Oh shit Drew isn't a dawg anymore.

This disappointed me at first, but then she gave me the look, and all my disappointment went away.

[lateralus88]

Yeah I fapped too.

[Gadough]

You sick, perverted fuck.

[lateralus88]

  Personal attack, reported 

[Gadough]

She's also used as my get out of jail free card. You know how hot girls will flirt with cops to get out of a ticket? I'm pretty sure my avatar would have a similar effect on the mods.

[lateralus88]

Yeah, I feel like mine works that way too.




Because like, my avatar will stab you and burn down your church if you say anything.

[Gadough]

And then be eerily charming in interviews when you'd expect him to be the opposite.

[MasterShakezula]

I'm pretty sure you'd have to go full blow and change your gender, post pix of your true 'feminine' self, ect.

[skydivingninja]

So yeah, I'm going to mirror the thoughts of everyone else and say that it was stupid to dispose of your iPod in the proper way, not even to give it as a gift or sell it.  You're a poor kid, God knows you could use the money.  That's what, a $200 piece of hardware you just tossed? 

Its also clear that you're just ignoring any sensible advice given to you (like from theseoafs and Adami, who are both very smart guys) about what you perceive to be your obsession so I don't even know why I'm bothering.  I'll just join everyone in staring in awe at this nonsensical turn of events.

All that said you were still correct with your initial statement.

[theseoafs]

If you feel uncomfortable out in public without your iPod, that means that you're just an uncomfortable person and you were using the iPod for isolative purposes.

Taking away the mental shelter can only be helpful, wouldn't you agree?

Maybe, but we could just as easily have solved this problem with a bit of self-control and a willingness to be outgoing and to step outside of your comfort zone.

But this is mostly beside the point. It's not the fact that you got rid of your iPod that I disagree with, because you own it and can do whatever you want with it. What I disagree with, again, is the manner of disposal.

...it was raining and I was in a romantic mood.

Green Lens Flare Ghost is now rockin' out to some Opeth.

Obsessively.

[bosk1]

That's how Green Lens Flare Ghost rolls.

[Zantera]

I'm curious, how did this work out? Still facing addiction to music, bought a new iPod since, or what's up?

[Ħ]

Oh wow, I forgot about this!

I basically stopped listening to music for a long time. I recently picked up my brother's old ipod which I now use mainly to listen to podcasts. I have a small playlist of music that I play at the gym, which primarily features Eminem and movie music. I'll occasionally listen to my old favorites at home from time to time, as well as new releases. But I listen to music WAY less. Probably 30 minutes a day, max.


I do think I was unhealthily using music to escape reality. Now I'm using DTF to unhealthily escape reality.

[ClairvoyantCat]

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE REALITY

[Ryzee]

Dude H, if you're into unhealthily escaping reality you should give drugs & alcohol a go! 

[ClairvoyantCat]

AND WOMEN!   

[Zantera]

I understand there is a game called "World of Warcraft" which is designed for the purpose of escaping reality.

Death is the only escape.

Do you really think you're happier without listening to music? I find that really hard to believe, especially if you were prone to being so affected by it. There is a chance there's a world of musical genres out there that would have benefited you as much as this "depressive music" dragged you down. And there's the tossed iPod floating in a river somewhere and someone's gonna pass by it and say "oh geez, imagine being the bloke who accidentally dropped his iPod into the sewers" because there's just no logical reason for anyone to toss it down themselves.

I think we're all aware that he's trying with this one.

Life has many wonders and music is just one of them. I'd like to experience something else.
