  • What? Are we going with how evolution has made us? Sure. There’s a difference between us, but that doesn’t make em weak. I believe in evolution and nature. With that, I can acknowledge the difference. But weak? Bullshit. The average woman might have different strengths than the average man, but that doesn’t mean shit. We defy nature. Every day, we defy nature. Plus, with that, you could say there’s things they are better at than men.

    My partner is way better at managing things for us. So, should I never lead anything or anyone? I mean, the best managers I’ve had were women. My dad was shit at keeping bills paid, but my ma did it all while cleaning a house. So, should all men be treated like babies who can’t handle money or be responsible for themselves?

    I don’t know about you, bud, but I prefer to be my own human and handle my own shit. My partner is my equal, just like all women are my equal. Cause I don’t know their strengths and weaknesses. They’re a human. They defy nature in whatever way they want, just like me.






  • Thanks, brother. I appreciate it so much. You got no idea. I definitely do. My partner, her and my son are the reasons I stopped myself and took control of it. We figured I am probably bipolar. We’ve taken steps to fight it. Knowing when I am having a mood swing, and stuff like that. She also calls me out on my bullshit. Like when I into the mindset that everyone is against me etc etc. I got very lucky to have a partner whose smart enough to see I’m not just a rage monster. It’s helped me learn to be open with my feelings without exploding.

    Thanks brother for the kind words. This is why I love forums like this. I find some of the kindest people on em. I always feel so lucky to be able to talk to folks like you.


  • That’s awesome. Ya, that’s how it was for me. That and talking to folks on forums that were more liberal. It’s funny how much we can change when we don’t put ourselves in boxes.

    Jazz? I been trying to get into that, haven’t found what I like. You know Cowboy bebop? I don’t know if the intro song counts as jazz, but I think I’m leaning more to liking that. Especially for gaming. I’ve been listening to it when playing bf6, seems I can focus better.

    And ya, Nashville country…eh…I like a few, mainly cause it was a song I heard growing up, but definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to. My dad was the type to listen to that really really old country music. Bleh! I mean, it’s okay just not my taste.





  • I love his voice. I’m no singer but I sing in my car, no matter whose in it, and I feel I can nail his songs the best.

    The song Demons and the song Whiskey hit me in my core.

    Both, and I know this is gonna sound dumb, but my addiction to weed and rage. I grew up in a very violent house. We didn’t talk things out, we fought, even if we were wrong. It’s addicting to have that level of rage. Seeing red, being out of your body. One day like 6 yrs ago I heard Demons. With demons, it made think about how I was letting my rage become me and run my life

    I was riding home by myself from Tifton to Valdosta. I broke down crying driving on back roads at night cause I felt the song in my heart. Then Whiskey a while after, and it made me see how much I was relying on weed to mask my emotions. I still smoke. But it’s a lot less and I am open to myself and anyone who does something to affect(?) my emotions.

    Then like I said, the new song oh my god. Boy. My mama having cancer. She raised me. She believes in God, and I don’t. It got me to thinking that maybe I don’t know and that all this has happened and will happen and if there is a god, we don’t know anything about them, so why make assumptions? Just feel the grass grow between your toes.

    Whew. Sorry brother/sister, I got to running my fingers and couldn’t stop.


  • My former boss, when I did flooring, listened to Myers. The song stone, I think it was, had me hooked.

    Then from there The Dead South- in hell I’ll be in good company, which sent me to The White Buffalo, and then from there a deep rabbit hole.

    I love knowing music of different walks of life. My pandora will go from Matchbox20 and Goo goo dolls, to Lamb of God, Spark Master Tape, Tupac, pretty much everything.

    I actually started listening to rap when I was alot younger and a dumb bigot. My ma taught me to learn what songs were about. Which I did with the rap songs, which in turn helped me grow past my racism and realize how fucked the world is and that the color of my brother’s skin doesn’t matter.



  • Red dirt country is our Jazz. It’s country but not 24/7 my wife left me for my dog while driving my truck.

    Whiskey Myers- Broken window serenade is a song about watching someone deal with a loved one on meth.

    Tejon street corner thieves- blue lives murder. Goes ham on cops for killing folks. They also got a song called “oh my god” which has helped me deal with finding out my ma has stage 4 blood and lung cancer.

    Amigo the devil has lots of deep songs that gives me white folks jazz/blues. One is called cocaine and abel. Another one I really feel in my heart is stronger than dead.

    Sorry to go on rant. I love sharing music I listen to.
