hi guys. im not really a new user but have been away for far too long. i miss this place so much and i am hoping with all this new time on my hands i can reconnect with the people here. i hope you are all keeping well and staying safe and healthy.
things have been rough and i have lost touch with music (my biggest regret in life up to this point), but this new “holiday” has allowed me to reconnect with music a little and put some time into the things that matter. every cloud has a silver lining.
i know there are some projects i started here a long time ago and hopefully i can pick those up again, but for now i am just happy to have some time to chat to you guys. i am excited to see you all again, and meet the new guys!
hopefully i can keep this place high enough on my priority list to check back regularly when shit starts to hit the fan again!
i picked a bad time of day for this because i am about to go to bed, but i will be back here tomorrow getting invlolved with some threads.
Well, Mr.P, I’ll throw my hat in and welcome you back, too.
Just back here again, myself, after going on a bit of a walk-a-bout for a while. Like you, life has been…different…to say the least. And although I’ve kept my hand in the game working with and for others offline, it’s been ages since I actually did anything of my own.
I’ve also been returning to a lot of old stuff I started…basically getting back into my stride…hopefully. Currently pulling an album together of old stuff and a few new tracks never released before…not exactly a “best of the best” thing, but sort of , if you know what I mean.
It IS really strange the way so many of us just happened to get a twig up our arses about being away and wandered back around the same time, don’t ya think (…types with one hand as he reached for the tin foil hat with the other!) ?
Anyway, good to bump into you on here again, mate…
it is like we have all been pulled back together to try to remind ourselves of what things are supposed to be like
i hope life is treating you somewhat kindly.
its hard to even say “hope youre okay” to people these days without feeling like you might be pushing a touchy subject. but i do hope you are okay, albeit unlikely
Thanks, P…yeah, shit is crazy everywhere these days! We’ve been lucky over here in Ireland, I guess, compared to other places. Like I said to others on here, I and those I know don’t know anyone who’s contracted it, so it kinda makes it all the more surreal.
I know some folks don’t even believe that any of it real…I guess it takes all sorts…but round our way there’s more than a few who just don’t give a shit and have carried on like nothing is happening. The teenagers here where we live have been treating it all like an extended holiday, which it is for them in a way. I heard one of them saying he didn’t give a shit because “only old fuckers get it”, which isn’t the case at all…but that’s the mentality of some of them…and I don’t just mean the kids…there’s some “old fuckers” kicking around who don’t give a shit, too.
Anyway, it’s good to be back and I find it hard to believe I was away for soooo long! Man, I thought it was just over a year, until James (White Noise) pointed it out to me…man, I was stunned that so much time had passed!
…and yet, this place is still the same! Looks a little different, but it’s like I was never away.
yea we are lucky here too. very few cases and finding somebody who knows somebody who caught it is difficult.
i dont even know how long i was away last time. i always do full circle and end up back here
idmf is like our aging mother trying to prepare us for the world. she keeps sending us out but we are scared and vulnerable so we eventually come back and run her into the ground some more hahaha
i got lucky compared to most
