(But uploading to youtube and uploading to piratebay seem like the same thing to me, although streaming is obviously a lot less of a threat to album sales.)

First step is admitting it.

youtube allows you to view material held in their database but it is not stored to your computer, it's a great way to get a feel for tracks on an album if you don't know much about it, things like limewire however where people just download albums left right and centre I will never be comfortable with, I mean when you can have such easy and immediate access to albums why even bother buying them? that's the trap I would fall into I would just download without ever buying albums

Downloading and downloaders are evil. Kill them with fire as the kids say.

Reconnected with a friend yesterday which was nice because we haven't seen her in over five years. We also bought the boy his big deal Christmas gift: a Yamaha electronic drum kit. Rock on! \m/

first day of work tomorrow. paris is cool. cold as fuck, quite expensive, but beautiful and all that.

i'm currently staying with a friend, but i've found 2 very nice places to stay for the long term. could you help me decide?
place 1:
with a quadriplegic guy (and his aide) in a very well located and very spacious loft. the room is ok, the kitchen is big and the living space is huge. seems like an interesting character, has people from many different countries over regularly, and likes brunch on sundays (mega plus point). the downside is that the laundry and "public" bathroom is in my room, so guests would be coming in an out regularly. it doesn't bother me much but my sister doesn't like the thought for some reason. also i don't know how old these international guests of his are, he's like 50 himself.

place 2:
with a final-year student from ESCP business school who seems pretty cool. the home is generally smaller and i would get either the room or a part of the living room that they separated with a curtain.

both places are well located and the hosts seem really cool. the latter would give me more access to the student life and allow me to meet more people more or less my age, the former i think would quite an interesting experience.

i'm inclined for place 1. an interesting experience, and while i wouldn't be partying in my place it doesn't mean i couldn't party elsewhere. as for hosting people for dinner and shit he's all for it so that would be cool. rents are more or less the same btw.

I see both having their benefits. It's only short term like two months right? If so, I would take the chance with the older quadriplegic guy. I have the old guy from A Clockwork Orange in mind, minus the torture and homicide of course, it would be kinda fun and different. Plus a real room beats a curtained partition, I guess.

but logic dictates that being completely pointless, if you already have the music downloaded why pay for it?

To support the artist. I drop about a hundred bucks year on stuff I already own. Usually because I pre-order something and find the leak prior to hitting the mail, but still not always. Usually at live gigs if the band needs the cash.

since November 2011 I've probably dropped about ninety a monty on new music, that's only six albums a month so I'm not getting great value for money, still a pitifully small gathering of music for someone who's been listening to metal for ten years though

Buy used. Or buy from bandcamps.

I don't trust a lot of used stuff anymore after getting more then a few dodgy preowned (that's what we call them down here for some reason) games and cds, I don't mind dropping the cash but it means expanding my collection is a slow process which is getting annoying given I've literally listened to everything I own about ten times (for the newer stuff) to I stopped trying to count (for my old stuff), hopefully the fifty or so albums I put on my christmas list (parents still insist I do one every year so they know what to get me, personally I could care less about christmas) get ticked off so I wont have this complaint

How many gray hairs? I have like 8 and I nurse them and I'm only 23. It just means your body is developing hydrogen peroxide which it does for lots of reason.

I feel like I should enter masterchef lol

today I made chocolate fudge ice cream, plus a fantastic pizza (made the dough and everything) ingredients: chicken, tomato salsa, green capsicum, red jalapeno chills, cheddar cheese and buffalo mozarella, couldn't be happier with the way that turned out

Wait. Like milk from a buffalo? I, at first, thought of buffalo like buffalo wing sauce and my mind was blown. Now, even more so by the fact that one could milk a buffalo.
