In The Playpen - iamanengine (hooray)

Well friends, it looks my time in this little glorious playpen is soon to be over

While I've had a lot of fun I would like to mention one thing, for anyone who cares to listen :P

So, I know I talked a lot about drugs, well, answered a lot about drugs and I know I seemed very happy and chill about it. But, I think it needs to be said, that, it really is not normal behavior, it's certainly not something you should really try and get into.

Sure experimenting is grand (I guess) but really, when it came to it when I 1st started at that craic about a year ago, it was a coping mechanism for a lot of **** that was going on with me and while yes it made things easier, kind of, it's not something you should turn to, you become dependent on it.

Now, while I never got that bad it is something I realised was starting to happen to me, and I would hate it if my playpen encouraged anyone else to sink into that hole, it really is not a great place to be.

And don't worry, I am happily on the other side of it now and pretty damn happy with life

So yes, LOVE YOU GUYS xoxo

P.s. ASK MOAR QUESTIONS DAMMIT

I only give h/o's about myself and obviously, I am awesome.

Really I like everyone on this forum, I seem to be able to relate to most people in some way or another, usually either through music, the funny stories people come out with, their similar arghhs etc, everybody's got something

Also the take on woody the wood pecker before this ends

How many ships could a ship ship ship if a ship ship could ship ships?

I actually seen one or two of them in person when I was working on a port in London during the summer they are frickin HUGE!! Really cool too.

Um, to answer your question, quite a lot of ships :P

Do you love Black Francis? Give reasons for your answer.

Ok so, tough question, this could be a long answer. :P

I LOVE the Pixies, they are so god damn awesome. Doolittle is one of my all time favourite albums and Surfer Rosa is epic in its own right too. Gunna be seeing them along with Arcade Fire and I am insanely excited! Can you imagine seeing the likes of Debaser, Gouge Away, Bone Machine?! It's gunna be insane!!!

But that said, Black Francis seems like kind of a d*ck. I always get he vibe that he never wanted any of the others in the band to get vocals. Like Kim had Gigantic which is epic and even the drummer had La La Love You which is a good tune. The fact that Kim didn't come back for the reunion tour kind of seems like there is bitterness there. But that might have nothing to do with Black Francis I guess.

And I heard that the Kim that replaced Kim Deal was kicked out of the band because she stage dived?!? It's like he thinks hes too cool for that, or at least The Pixies are too cool for that.

Of course I could be totally wrong here and maybe none of that stuff was to do with him but that's the vibe I get. Forget who said it but one of the members said that being in the Pixies was more like a business then a band.

So I hope that, vaguely answers your question.

In short, I love his music, all the other stuff kind of leaves a bitter taste in my mouth towards him but I don't let it affect the music which is the main thin anyways

Now, I'm gunna go listen to a sh*t tonne of Pixies

Edit - Now that I think of it, he was a major d*ck! I forgot, after Doolittle he basically took over the band and gave no one else like any input, even though Kim Deal is AWESOME. Hon the Breeders!!
