Mental conditions might not, and can just be the way the person operates normally from what you say. That's interesting.

It's fortunate, not counting addictions but with many other psychiatric conditions, if it's not bad by around 30 it is unlikely to suddenly get worse, and in generally if you survive until middle age it things tend to settle down. There are exceptions say if you've always had some streaks of depression and then your child dies. Also PTSD is equal opportunity, almost

But hey, I'm reading too much into it according to the skeptics. Perhaps you can understand I can't be too bothered with that.

Even if you are onto something, and Billy was in a sense reaching out to you, why is it enough to get so worked up by it? I mean so what? If it's true, he's obviously just a creep and you'd be better off just shrugging it off and moving on. After all, he is just a fucked up dude who got famous with some good pop songs, good guitar skill and the luck of pairing up with a world-class drummer.

Even if he was trying to influence you to be a musician, who cares? It's just dumb old Billy, who gives a damn what he thinks or wants you to do? You don't really have to take it to heart.

Heh. When I was quaffing chalices of dxm I got convinced that the tomcat named Boris in the Aristocats animated film was somehow related to Boris because he was a musical feline and there's a cat on the cover of the album Noise.

I then emailed these thoughts to Stephen O'Malley.

He never responded.

How come these super powers aren't being used to become great musicians?

According to him, he reached out to Billy by making a post here saying to communicate with omega via code

Yeah, but he seems to feel like there's a somewhat nefarious underbelly to what he's experienced which is the part of this that I'm not really seeing.

An effective troll would require people to care or have an emotional reaction of some sort.

But isn't it obvious to you that old fart Billy Corgan isn't hacking it up and sending TOC cryptic messages and clues via email, shows, etc. just because of some dumb post he made here 17 years ago?

Sadly, this is all a little too run-of-the-mill for any such accolade.

An unfortunate individual I knew from school went on to pull all the sprinklers from his mother's lawn like naughty turnips after becoming convinced they were microphones complicit in what surely must have been the absolute least interesting bout of surreptitious monitoring in the entire history of espionage.

All jokes aside, it's pretty bloody cool that Rush formed as far back as the late sixties just so that Corgan might act as the psychic catalyst necessary to fulfill the prophecy of there someday being an average guitarist with his very own YouTube channel.

how can i be so cosmically important like you, TOC, where fuckin' kickball games are changed for me

[FoolofaTook]

Lol toc u should write a book. or at least start a blog.

4 real.

[FoolofaTook]

That's scary buzzard.

And you're scary too, toc. I think you need to take it easy man, smoke a little herb, put on some simon and garfunkel and stop stressing out so much.

Am I the only one with strong feelings for toc?

Start by telling yourself that you're the center of the universe. The big cheese. You got the most gravity because you're so full of incredibly dense shit

Don't dehumanize others by grouping them all together as sane people that recognize you either have a serious mental illness or egomania or a combo of the two. Open your mind to the possibility that you're WRONG

Dehumanize? really? And then you go collectivist in your next thought. nice. And do you know history at all and how often group-think consensus evolves over time into something else entirely by non-conformist who push the paradigms.

n/m.

you're free to be cynical and hide behind the collective if you wish.

This is from his other thread. Watching him telepathically.

You've heard all my canned material, how'd you do that?

I don't really know how to play, but I can fake it pretty good. The guitar is a tool to create sounds and write songs, you know anything about that? I use youtube for some of it to get an idea of their compression rate and angle my studio recordings to it if possible.

One option was to take offense and lash out, while the other was to conclude that I was put on this planet with the sole purpose of someday urging you towards musical betterment via light criticism.

Why pick the bad one?

Why do you put like four spaces between "nice.". WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

You play a guitar. How conformist is that. Who came up with the notes? Who says that's what music is? Because going off of conventional definitions of other concepts seems to work for you in some regard. Must be nice to be able to cherry pick when you're rational and conformist

Now you're touching into the destiny angle: Quantum reality within a matrix of freewill with an overall dormant pineal gland which limits our ability to effect the material world...and maybe that's a good thing. There's a theory the folks in Atlantis created their own demise in a collective conscious snafu, some type of telepathic clusterfuck.
