Caveman

I know I haven't been a member here very long, but it's come to a point in time where I really need to start focusing on what lay ahead of me. It's my senior year in high school, and in just a few short months, I'll be leaving everything behind to start my journey as a young adult at the university. I'll be majoring in architecture, which is a relentlessly demanding program that'll leave me little leisure time. In the meantime, I'll be working a full-time job and catching up with old friends in my hometown. I don't want to let these last few months slip by me.I know it's an anti-climatic exit, but I just want to say that I've really had some fun here. It's a great community, and everyone involved is just great. My departure should not be taken personally by anyone.I wish you all the best with your future endeavors. Good luck you guys--it's been a blast!

My oh my, someone's bitter.It's a witty phrase that someone came up with eons ago. If you're so wound up to think that its message is to be taken that seriously, then I really think you ought to get out and cool off a bit. Maybe you do need to get laid. I don't know, it's just a suggestion. You just seem way too caught up with the little things. Jesus Christ, how can you even say that you hate people like me when the only thing you can judge me by is a stupid online alias?Get real, dude. That's just totally uncalled for.

munim, nobody dies a virgin......Life screws us all!

Tim Burton is pretty cool He always manages to come up with the wildest stuff...kudos to him for being the innovative dude he is!

Non-virgin...haven't been for a few years. Whatever, I try to avoid the drama of those situations. I have some friends that are virgins and some that aren't--it's not like they're competing or anything. I'm in love, so I guess I really have no reason to wait, ya know? We use protection and the whatnot to make sure there are no little Cavemen running around. We're responsible kids I agree that sex isn't something that should be taken lightly...the first time is always a huge moment in everyone's life. If you just take the time to think about what you're doing and don't act on impulse, there's nothing wrong with what you decide to do. I respect anyone's decision either way.

So you haven't seen any of the movies from that era? Shame on you!

Oh, John Hughes...haha.I liked Ferris Bueller's Day Off (I own it on DVD--great feel-good flick!), and I found Sixteen Candles somewhat enjoyable because Farmer Ted is the exact replica of a kid in my school, but in my own opinion, the definitive 80's movie had to be Platoon. Maybe it's just because I'm a war movie buff, but either way, it's a great film and deserves all the recognition it has gotten over the years. Oliver Stone uses first-hand experience to create a stunning piece of cinema. Great movie, highly recommended.

What's wrong with old songs? I voted for that, just so you know. Because a lot of really good stuff falls under the category of "old" (classic rock, oldies, true "classical" stuff, etc.). And I think that's where the majority of musical genius lies...

Hmmm...I really hate you. Why only three? haha...I'll give it my best shot though...1) Donnie DarkoWords cannot describe just how freaking cool this movie is. With a mind-boggling plot, magnetic characters, and a unique tendency to draw from just about every single movie genre out there, this flick does nothing short of knock you out. The music is chilling and the ending deeply depressing. You'll be scratching your head for weeks (and probably lose some sleep in the process too!). Overall, highly recommended for just about ANYONE. You will be BLOWN AWAY!2) PlatoonAs a war film, it is continually praised for its gritty realism. As a Vietnam film, it is always mentioned with the classics of its kind. But the thing that makes Platoon so unique is the heart and soul that Oliver Stone, a Vietnam vet himself, poured into the production. As much psychologically twisting as it is action-packed, the film emphasizes the clash between good and evil under alleged unity. Excellent performances across the board (yes, even Charlie Sheen). The music is haunting, and the tone is perpetually harrowing. Belongs in every history addicts DVD collection.3) Life is BeautifulThis film ultimately accomplishes the impossible: it creates a comedy about the Holocaust. While it seems absurb, Italian slapstick genius Roberto Benigni manages to pull such a task off without offending the masses. A gently love story turned tragedy, it contains a magical essence that touches the heart in all the right places. The screenplay is brilliant, and the score is nothing short of magnificent. This film will stick in your mind for days--it is truly a beautiful piece of cinema.Honorable Mentions: Requiem for a Dream, Apocalypse Now, Forrest Gump, Rocky

Myspace is a trendy way to facilitate online dating and cybersex with people you generally know but wouldn't talk to in person. You can do searches for people based on interests, location, school, etc., browse through their photo albums, view all sorts of wonderful personal information, and get a glimpse at who they consider their "friends." Some have blog features, some have media playing...It's basically a teenager's life transmitted into their own personal webspace.I like how when someone posts the first comment on someone else's Myspace, they refer to it as taking their "comment virginity." Gimme a break.Facebook is pretty much the same thing, except it's for big, mature college students

Somehow I got the impression you were a Soundgarden fan

I've been playing the guitar for several years now. Just picked up the bass. Do a little bit of piano, and I used to do the trumpet. Would like to get into the saxophone at some point in the near future.Gosh, musical instruments fascinate me. Music fascinates me even more

No Myspace right now but probably a Facebook next year when I'm at college, which is essentially the same thing, except for college kids.Why must I give in? lol

My apologies, I understand now. I always thought Radiohead to be more "alternative," but I guess I have a new way of classifying them now

Didn't realize Radiohead was on an indie label...good call with that, though.

Death brought a premature end to a lot of premier acts, including the Doors, Lynard Skynard, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Sublime, Pantera. Of course, some were reincarnated with surviving members, but they would never be the same band we know and love.The Beatles, Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, and the Smashing Pumpkins are all bands that would've had better futures together. It's a shame that conflict had to exist, because each of them brought something unique to their respective genres.Bands should model their relations off of Kansas and ZZ Top. These guys have been playing together forever, and they never cease to crank out some kick-*bottom* stuff. They've had wildly successful careers, and they are the epitome of what the business should really be like. Kudos to them.

The only bands you guys listed that I'm familiar with are the Pixies, Sonic Youth, Franz Ferdinand, and Modest Mouse. Nothing of the first two really impressed me. FF had a pretty cool single in "Take Me Out," as did MM with "Float On." I don't think I'd buy either of their records, however.Anyone know if Nirvana's 'Bleach' was released on an independent label? I believe it was Sub-Pop, but I'm not sure what kind of affiliates it had at the time. Thanks in advance.

I'll be honest. I'm a Catholic, and no, he did not mean very much to me. That's just the way it is...I'm hardly religious to begin with, so whatever. Of course, his death was a sad event, but my life has in no way been impacted by him. Sorry

Not bad choices for mainstream stuff...Other excellent, but more obscure bassists: Victor Wooten, John Myung (Dream Theater), Billy Sheehan. More on the technical side (not saying that Flea isn't!), but still a lot of fun to listen to...My dad picked up an old electric bass in the trash the other day...I've been practicing on it a little bit (I'm a guitarist, lol) and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Definitely a cool instrument. Still gotta learn the saxophone

Olive Garden breadsticks = AMBROSIA.'Nuff said.Now please excuse me while I get some homemade stew. Big yum

You are correct, Dawid. Very American, indeed.Being an American, I would have to opt for the "None of the above" option and go with the Olive Garden. Gosh, I just love Italian food

I've been playing the guitar for close to five years now. I haven't improved much lately--I hardly have any time to practice anymore. I used to have lightning fast alternate picking (to the point where I was able to comfortably play some John Petrucci stuff) but that has slowed down substantially. I still enjoy learning plenty of tunes and I like to come up with my own stuff occasionally, but my dedication to the instrument does have some room for improvement...

I'd win if I had the 8-track recorder I wanted

I'm addicted to sex, drugs, and rock n' roll....Minus the drugs...lol
