In regards to me in Absolute Underground...
| Message Board > General Chitchat > In regards to me in Absolute Underground... |
| _Griphin_ User Info... | BTW: I NEVER sent hate mail to Absolute Underground (why would I do something stupid like that, I like what Absolute Underground does for the community), I asked my CD reviews not to be printed because Willy treated me like a jerk at a L.I.D. show, and I'm sorry, if your boss treats you like crap you leave (besides, if they had already printed the magazine then I was cool with it). So much for supporting a scene that picks on disabled people (that's not nice). I never asked for the letter to be published, and I got depressed again over seeing the letter and after I posted hateful messages again on here about it (honestly, I thought I was over that, nobody wants to see me vent, including myself), so I ended up sleeping for 16 hours cause of the depression. I know, this whole thing seems silly, I dunno why I care. Thanks, but give me a good enuff reason to support the scene and I will (not that I was in a band or anything, I just collected demos and gave them away to support what the scene used to be like cause the amount of unsigned bands blew me away), I'll probably feel better next week. - Fri, 21 Apr 2006 12:44pm Edited: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 8:19pm | ||
| ricky jak User Info... | Griph.... it will pass. Depression is serious. Hang on. When i get twisted up and lay on my floor feeling bad and there is no reason to feel like this the only thing that gets me through is the hope that tommorrow the depression will be all over. Have you ever tried praying to GOD? I pray every day not to an organized religiuos god but just GOD, or Creator or the being that supplied the water and soil for Darwin to grow... It's simple and it has helped me get through this day to day confusion and DEPRESSION. GOD is usually the last stop on the block.... i mean we as humans are more than willing to pop a few pills or pay for couselling, phyciatrists, maybe do some more drugs and then get pissed in hopes it will all get better and it doesn't. Get up in the morn and try saying Please. then go to bed and say Thank you. After awhile i started to feel better and the daily bullshit didn't hit me in the face as often. i started to see the beuty around us. It's NOT something that is easy to suggest to a person with out beeing labeled a freak. But it fuckin worked for me..... Give it a try, no one has to know you do it unless your an idiot like me and try to suggest this simple thing on a message board. Heck if it don't work just go back to the old way and enjoy the misery. Chin-up Griph.... we could be livin in Iraq where the real depression lives. organized religion blahhhh - ricky - Sat, 22 Apr 2006 9:30pm Edited: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 9:57pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | You bring up a good point. Apparently when I was in hospital, I had 6 HGAs (Holy Guardian Angels) on my shoulders making sure I pulled thru. Although I believe in a godhead, I don't pray to the godhead everyday, or at all, but I know the godhead is there watching out for me. Perhaps I freak because I need therapy, I dunno. I know that I'm getting better then what I used to be like (I'm on keyboard #5, when ya get frustrated you tend to strike out, unfortunately the keyboard sits there inadimately (sp?!?) waiting to get thrashed). Look I know I'm not perfect but I'm getting better, and I'm amazed no-one has beat the crap out of me yet, god knows I deserve it at times (I already sent an apology to A.U. about my behavior). Thanks for the suggestions, though. Good thing for LiveVic, otherwise I'd vent out at people who have better things to worry about, like paying bills and rent, and breathing. :) - Sun, 23 Apr 2006 10:21am Edited: Sun, 23 Apr 2006 8:21pm | ||

| CHAMPIONOFHELL User Info... | I too would like to say sorry to gripin. I first approached you to write album reviews for the mag because I knew you had a knowledge and passion for the local music scene, new and old. I thought you would enjoy submitting reviews and didn't foresee it becoming such a controversy. I wasn't at that particular L.I.D. show but if I was I would have said hello as usual. Mr. Jak was probably just out of it and might not have even been aware you had started writting for the mag. I was unaware of your depression and hope you feel better now knowing it was all just a silly misunderstanding. The letter in the mag was only in fun and not to be taken seriously, it's just we rarely get any letters, positive or negative, and will print just about anything sent to us. Hope this clears up the problem. Cheers big ears. Editor-in-Grief. - Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:33am Edited: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:42am | ||
