Believe me, I'm trying. But it's a little hard to do it all on your own, with virtually no support whatsoever.

I wish I had something better to say, but I've never been able to fully verbalize the important concepts that I have in my head, and even if I could, well you have to live your own life for yourself. I have faith you will do just fine.

I wish I could verbalize what I'm feeling at the moment, and alot of what I've been feeling for the past three years or so, ever since my brother passed away. And it sucks to have to keep it all bottled up inside, with no one to really talk to, or atleast anyone who can relate to it...
EDIT: And I'm not just refering to my brother passing away. But I do miss being able to talk to him about stuff...

I'm very sorry for your loss. I wish I could say something but the fact is that I hate my own brother. More than anything else.

Plus young men anywhere don't take any kind of jokes toward them in jest as theyre hot headed and defensive of their egos, we don't communicate well, mostly and a US-UK style humour thing which gets lost in translation. Americans don't really get the non-malicious, self depreciating humour, stirring and banter, they do understand jokes about other people and subjects which they arent concerning them.
Hence the hostility sometimes when one side doesnt get the joke.
So, basically I always have to tread, very, very softly to avoid treading on the proverbial balls and mostly I do. Sometimes I dont but hell, I'm not 'perfect;, I make mistakes and theres plenty of things that are said here on TA of a misogynistic nature I really don't find humourous at all so it's not like I exactly feel very comfortable here about 50% of the time and theres been plenty of times in the last 6 years I've been here I felt threatened enough by people in PM's or email to leave altogether.
I do understand what he's going through as I've been through it all in one form or another at some point, I tried to help and was unable to as our personalities clash so badly so I just try to keep it to civilised, light hearted banter.
So sorry for any unintentional hurt

I already had a fair bit to deal with before that happened, but that's when it all for progressively worse. And it hasn't gotton any better yet. You only get to live once man. If I were you, I'd try to figure out a way to be on better terms with your brother. And anyone else in your family. I don't have any of that anymore. I basically haven't ever had a relationship with my dad (more like a terrible one), and I pretty much don't talk to my mother anymore eigther. But I'll go into details about that in a PM at some point.

Actually you don't, there a lot I never got around to talking to you about. And you didn't really give me a chance after you know what.

I knew you were going to say that, but it is way too far gone for that. I don't mean to be disrespectful in anyway, its just we have our own demons is all.
It reminds me of a joke I heard a few years back where this guy said well islam and christianity are brothers, and as such they should embrace each other. Well the guy quickly snapped back, "you've never known any brothers who hated each other's guts?"
I wish Bob Dylan was my brother, or anyone really instead of a pathlogical liar federal convict I don't give a fuck about anyone except myself prick from hell only job I could ever hold was at a strip club goon.

That's kind of funny. Although it doesn't have anything to do with this in case you're implying anything about whatever.

LOL. BTW, I was listening to your set earlier today. That last track, or maybe it was the second last track, was awesome.
