I thought I posted on a few other threads that were non-GNR related. Funny thing, is GNR might barely be in my top 10 favorite bands, and more likely top 25, but that is just what was on my mind at the time, and I thought it was a safe band to discuss when joining a music forum. LOL I had some friends who already joined me in my artist of the week, but they chose to post only on my new blog rather than here because of all of the negativity here. A friend of mine actually suggested I create a blog for that reason. I will continue to do the blog as well as here. Even if no one here joins me in the artist of the week, I am still going to do it. A few times now over the past few years I tried doing an artist of the day, but even I cannot be THAT ambitious. HAHA I will check out the journals when I find some time. I appreciate the suggestion. I guess if anything, for maybe take it easy on the newbies here (not just you but others here as well). I would think you would want people to be happy to join this forum, not make comments to push them away. If someone knows me and gives me crap, I will just give it right back. But we don't even know each other. Maybe some of you don't care though. I guess I don't know when the intention of some responses were. For some of you, you have given helpful comments and feedback and have been welcoming, and I appreciate that. One more comment about the top 1000 bands; it is not about me. While it is part of a personal project, posting here was far more about initiating discussion about different bands. It would have been cool to hear some say, "wow, I have not thought about Mr. Bungle for many years" or "I never heard of Rhinobucket before I saw this list and they sound just like Bon Scott era AC/DC", or "WTF is Tiffany doing on your list" or "I forgot that Todd Snider even existed" or maybe even "Rise Against is one of the most underrated bands out there and I am glad they are on your list". Anyways, there are no more projects I have. I will post my artist of the week every Sunday. I will respond to comments on my current threads, I may contribute to other threads and occasionally add another thread of my own. It is just unfortunate that when I found this forum with my projects and love for music in mind, I was thrilled and happy and now I just dread seeing an email in my gmail account stating I have another reply, because it will likely be something negative. I definitely did not come here for that. As far as my maturity, I guess I can refer you to any of my ex's for confirmation on how immature I am. HAHA In all serious though, I worked at a teacher for teens who were in gangs in the Twin Cities area. Many of them have been involved in shootings and crazy stuff. I moved from Minnesota to Maui because I hate snow and cold and unfortunately I found that I make more money as a server than as a teacher. For the time being, I chose the money route, but obviously there is a void in my life when my way of helping people in life is helping them enjoy their dream vacation, and not in trying to save the lives of teens. So whatever, I am ambitious, long-winded, and get somewhat defensive when strangers diss what I do. Hopefully some people read past all of this stuff and actually comment on some specific bands on my list or missing from my list. :-) |
