(^_^) i've got my ratio down to 10:0:5 (i take it this is a per day thing? else thats WAAAY! out)
i'm not a student and i'm not particularly big on having the social events daily, infact nothing pisses me off more than not having atleast one day of the week where i can just kick back and relax in my own house. But ya know all of my mates are Uni students, and this place always has a fully stocked bar, fridge ... plus due to me loving music and tv so much the fact that i have probably one of the sweetest sound rigs in LA doesn't help.
i spent like 2days (perfectly serious was atleast 48hrs straight) setting up the speakers in just the right posistion setting up the equaliser positions just right to have the most perfect sound with reverb using the houses own echo to amp the sound and not sound all over echoy like you can get in large places... i have like 12 speakers around the house all Warfdales ReQ2's - plus my Sony Dolby 8.1 Surround.
when your outside of the house it sounds like a club inside
when your inside the sound is just so amazing ... you'll go somewhere else and just think they've got crap speakers hehee.
the bass on track doesn't thump out of the speaker it just vibrates and you can feel it to your bones - its an awesome feeling to have music actually give you a literal buzz
its nutz everything in my life has to just work perfectly, or just right ...
just stupid really i don't want to have such a student like life - i'm quite happy to sit down and just sit there and relax doing bugger all, lol everyones like "aww, but your so young you've gotta enjoy life." totally insane - especially as i've had alot of the "enjoying" life ... i mean cool if they wanna just hang out and chat ya know - just being social, but like do we have to drink EVERY time? ... its just like back in the UK.
i liked going out with my mates, but if you weren't out like EVERYNIGHT they'd get the hump with you. never really have been one for all of that crap nither - never have been a big drinker, only reason i drink as much as i do is cause people don't like you sitting there with a squash or coke or cuppa tea whilst they're downing Bacardi and such...
we used to have these mate who'd come around and be like doing crap that you wouldn't want - i mean last thing you wanna see if people snorting a few lines on your coffee table and then give you some damn excuse like "oh it makes the evenings more fun" ... it was put up with for a little while cause - i can't remember but i had to make one of those promises i wouldn't hurt them and tollerate them (dunno why but people are always making me promise that, i don't think i'm a violent person am i? :-s)
well at one point these guys started to really push thier luck and were trying to force one of our other mates to do some crap they didn't want to ... so i kindly show them my gun collection, hehee they ran so fast when i shot off a single shot - don't think they realised it was full of blanks
but it made me laugh to watch them scurry off (i didn't hurt them
) well after that got a visit from the police and alot of explaining went on ... surfice to say they'll never bother us for a good while, but i mean thats what i really hate about college students.
they all think because they can do something they should - and with the other guys letting them get away with stuff because they're all like "well they're young adults let them experiment" (it isn't my place i'm in so not my say who can and can't be there really) ... but to me it just stupid that some kids think they need to smoke pot or do some other crap just to have fun.
its like alcohol really, personally i can have fun with it, i can have just as much without it - i drink to be social not because i want to get pissed.
lol i know thats off on a tangent but it really does piss me off about college students that most will try some sorta drugs because they're offered them or they can ... and its just sad.
i've done alot of crap in my time - some of which i ain't too proud off, but like these kids have no reason for trying these drugs other than they're curious, and its just sad really.
(sorry bad night, just listened to a 20min story about some of this crap ... and kids like that might think it all looks and feels pretty good, wait until the demo wears off and they get into the real game - it ain't so pretty looking from the bottom all that fancy graphics have peeled away and your left with a nightmare you just can't return because its too late.)
