As part of the crowd watching comfortably from the couch, admittedly while high on many different substances, I have always been in awe of those who got off of their asses and followed a dream. It requires not only talent (and not much of that in many cases) but huge steel cannon balls to put yourself out there for lots of criticism and little money. Never achieving commercial success means you've got unlimited indie street cred and can claim to have stayed true to the mythical punk ethic. But just try paying the electric bill with that. <BR/><BR/>Your own personal satisfaction with your life thus far is the only true measure of success. I salute you and your big balls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120996027207688234.post-88398248480138300822009-02-27T15:51:00.000-08:002009-02-27T15:51:00.000-08:00Tim, it was worth the wait.Thank you for adding yo...Tim, it was worth the wait.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for adding your voice to the chorus.Sariel Thrawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15615997949422794783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3120996027207688234.post-89873718211892171922009-02-23T15:15:00.000-08:002009-02-23T15:15:00.000-08:00I'd just about written this place off but this pos...I'd just about written this place off but this post makes me think it might be worth saving, though it does make me feel like even more of a loser.<BR/><BR/> I had no idea cleaning needles with bleach killed HIV, you need to host a show in which you inform the general public of this and other handy tips for the grimier side of life. Like a Martha Stewart for the drug and fetish club crowd.<BR/><BR/> Though I don't approve of your slamming America's drug education ads. I mean people need to be informed of the horrors of marijuana. Just think, if you leave a loaded and cocked gun in an unlocked and easy to reach draw and leave your kids alone in the house all day they might find that gun and hurt themselves ... if they're smoking reefer ... or something.<BR/><BR/> Thanks for the piece though my good man. Hope to hear more from you in the future.Tombington Stonewall the 3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989610402624187714noreply@blogger.com
