My girlfriend still has feelings for her ex

---

I would follow your own advice and keep a distance. It's not worth your efforts to try to help someone who doesn't help themself. It will cause you many ailments, like stress, ulcers, etc. You don't need that in your life.

I dont think the bass is is good as drums for that.I like to hit things, break things and get a good over all weakness going from physical exaustion tha lawyas makes me feel better.I can see doing that with drums, maybe, I dont know for sure, Im no drummer, in fact I have no musical talent what so ever, unless you count that I can fart "shave and a haircut"a heavy bag in teh garage though, fuck oh dear I beat on thta all out for 10 minutes and Im so tired i can hardly stand up, and I always feel better besides.Outside of that the reisk of death is always good for cheering me up.I love to climb when Im pissed an cant think it brings it all into focus and on some routes that Iv done a few hundred times and could do blindfolded I go ropeless and free climb them, that extra bit of fear of taking a fall and knowing your going to hit the ground for sure if ya fuck up always hiegthens the experience and leaves me buzzed for days.I cant see getting any of that from playing bass, Drums I could buy, its very physical to pund shit out on em, but a bass? ehhhhI do play guitar, I jsut suck at it like I said I have no musical talent or ability whatsoever, but that doesnt keep me from trying, and the fact tha I taught myself to play, accoutns for alot of my lack of talent at the guitar.

I whole heartedly agree with your advice.the fastest way to get over someone is to get under someone new.

I would love to take full credit for them but I cant. I listen to a hell of a lot of music from nearly any style. Ya like swing?The Cherry Poppin Daddies... The song is no mercy for swine, the specific line I added in red.I highly suggest you find he song and listen to it, Id also add zuit suit riot, Mr White Keys, Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line, and drunk daddy to the list of CPD's songs that I think are must haves in a collection. the rest of that album is good but not great.Well with bloodshot eyesI'm finally brokeI feel like I just had a strokeWe made a stainShe said my nameI drank a thousand beers for that dameNow we're the couple in the cornerTying up our tongues to the percolatingRhythm of the big bass drumShe said no jack don't you go backNo jack don't you go backSo we hit the floorSlicked up to the ninesAnd I tell you there will beNo mercy for swineI'm swingin' on the chandelierDrowin' in a thousand beersI've got it down to an artLonely sex with a desperate heartThe way to get over someoneis just to get under someone new.And show them no mercyNo mercy for swine

I have a heavy bag hanging next to my drum set, which is next to the keyboard which is next to the bass which is next to the guitar. I love my garage, with a six pack and a Jay I can play all day. Make my rounds from one to the other like circuit training. Oh and I have a metronome (electronic, not the pyramid) to help my meter. Any musician no matter what instrument should own one. Nothing is more annoying than someone who can go through the motions of "playing" yet cannot hold a beat, or jam with others. You either need to be African, or you need a metronome. well, in most casesBACK TO THE THREAD!

Thats me :laughing:
but in all fairness, I have taught myself with books and videos, and Iv only been doing it for a bit, well what 3 years maybe? and nto a constant practice, I jsut really like to play when Im baked at the house and alone.
I cant read music, atleast not fast enough to play it as I read it, I cant play by ear, I jsut knwo the chords, but Im better than I was and luckily I dont care about being in a band, Id have to give up part of my life in order to devote the time ti takes to actually be good, for me its a selfish sorta thing I like to do, I dont have to be good and since noone hears me play, fuck it it doesnt matter.

He he, I gotcha. You're on the right track man, keep it up. I started the drums at five so I got a slight head start from you, but perseverance has made a lot of MY friends, friends who I TAUGHT to play music, pass me in musical knowledge (Ahhh, to have ambition must be nice....). I just have a natural knack for it. I also cannot sight read (read fast enough to play it simultaneously) and I have developed really bad habits over the years. Oh well!

From what i hear, you deserve a lot better.

I know, she dumped him and now she told me she's sorry and that I was right about him and that she wants me back. That was really hard for me to say no but when you look at it, she won't change and I'm not sure if she ever will. I gotta just keep movin on.

Good riddence, she is a slut anyways. Girls like that turn into women who are never happy with just one guy.

Wow, this is the most popular line here "This happened to me"

It's funny, no one seems to remember the reason WHY they broke up with someone (and it was usually a good reason)

My most RECENT ex (how sad is that shit?) was an innocent, sheltered girl; she honestly believed it was okay to hang out with her ex's and NOT have them expect anything.

Anyways, her deal was this dipshit she dated for a few months before he ran off to England and hooked up with a girl there. He came back, they hung out; little shit did a LOT of work to get her to break up with me (he won, obviously) so within due time I'm sure he'll be trying to have sex with her or whatever (I can read people pretty well) ANYWAYS, that was all just to point to my original, uh..point; people don't remember why they broke up and tend to feel nostalgia rather than use their common sense.
