SoCal or Brasilia? They both sound pretty nice. ;)

[davehead34]

Brasilia is soooooo much better :)

Okay so maybe he probably won't give me discounts, but I'm keeping him around because the boy just does amazing things with his mouth, if you catch him drunk. :lol

[davehead34]

Chris, didn't you have "I support the return of Toy Soldiers" in you sig before? :shrug

[il bacio dolce]

He asked me if he could!!!! I declined. I wonder what he'd say if I (caught him drunk and) said I'd be willing to try.

I absolutely have a very talented mouth.

Just thought I'd share.

This one chick I used to hook up with was a FREAK. She wanted to try some pretty crazy shit. I'm open-minded, but I'm a fan of the "exit only" belief (for me). :lol

i loooove oreo frosties

hello everyone

[JenLuvsDMB]

Hey hey Jess! What up?

[whiteysax]

wow... this thread is full of hotness right now!!! lol

[JenLuvsDMB]

Awwwww. :)

[whiteysax]

hey... you can't argue with attractive DaveheadS!!

[tictactes]

I came across this quote by the Dave Matthews Band and I wanted to see if someone could help me with what song it is from. I am not too familar with their songs but that quote is well writen and I want to hear the song.




“A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they
will fall for each other...Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time,
maybe too late, or maybe forever”

[whiteysax]

closest i can think of would be Say Goodbye... but i don't know the exact quote... i'm not familiar with it

[JenLuvsDMB]

I know it's a quote of his for sure, but I'm not positive if it's from an actual song. I'm going to have to do some research.

[DMBfan41]

The thing is, I don't have a fear of flying....i have a fear of flying alone.

I've flown with friends before, just not on my own. I wish that I could, but I just can't.

As for the girlfriend, I know that things are coming to an end unfortunately. It just sucks that she met my family, the next day I go down to Florida, and now we have problems. Now im just not sure if I should face the problems while we're 1,000 miles away from each other or wait until I come back which will be next Thursday.

I'm away, and she has shown no interest in talking to me while I'm here. I try calling her today and she's like, i just got out of the shower and can't talk now. I ask if she wants to call after she gets off of work which she used to always do. It's two days in a row, that we haven't spoken. I left her a message yesterday, she didn't call back.

And now our mutual friend texted me asking why I like her? All of this happens while i'm here. I'm afraid that she thinks she has to commit now that she met my family, and she's afraid of making a commitment. I have no idea what the hell is going on in her head, she tells our mutual friend. But does not tell me if something is bothering her. The mutal friend doesn't tell me anything either and acts as if everything is fine.

I'm honestly just tired of these games. I don't want to be the bad guy and end this over the phone. She tells me to have a good time in Florida cause I know bad news is coming when I get home.

I'd do just that... have a good time in Florida and take care of business when you get back. If it's what she wants, you wouldn't technically be the bad guy for doing it on the phone. But if it's salvagable, give it a little time and talk to her when you get back... explain about the committment issue, etc.... But above all right now, enjoy yourself in Florida, man!

[Popeye2003]

Art! How goes it?

SoCal or Brasilia? They both sound pretty nice. ;)
All good here, you?

I love Brasilia :D

[Popeye2003]

Yeah, but I have a beach house in SoCal :D
Beach is overrated.

I've seen that attributed to dave before but I've heard A LOT of shows and never heard him say it. I don't think he said it.

[JenLuvsDMB]

My whole family is here. I lived in Georgia for eleven years which was really nice. Came back up here after I graduated from college...now I'm wondering why. I mean, I love being close to everyone but I think I'm ready to make my own life somewhere else, you know?

[smeritt]

[whiteysax]

The weekend was great! Hope everyone else had a good one too.
Weekend was good... except that the first 2 nites on my gf's grandmother's couch made my whole body sore and stiff... then i caught her mom's sore throat (still recovering)... but we saw downtown Charleston, the battery, rainbow row... went to isle of palms beach with her little cousin.. met the rest of her family... had another long talk as we swung on the swinging bench on the pier at waterfront park... overall a good weekend... but i must say i'm quite happy to come home.

[JenLuvsDMB]

Oooh Rainbow Row is beautiful! Possibly my favorite part of Charleston.

[GoodDayIIDie]

[davehead34]

"It's too fucking hot, but it ain't too hot to fuck!!!!!"

I've met a few, I suppose, but the most notable one was my friend Josh's wife. Man - WOW. She was amazing.

[Popeye2003]

I've been mentioning that for a while. But I don't know if I'm gonna make it anyways.

[JimiThang1]

That's too bad...Charlotte's been a crazy show the past few years (except 2004 when Dave was sick).

[davehead34]

Working in an office with no windows can be depressing. Especially when it's beautiful outside.

I propose a question - would you rather work in an office where the AC is too cold, or in an office without AC, which would be wicked hot?

Cold. Just take a few extra shirts :p

[smeritt]

Hey guys, popping in before i go out. How bout the first setlist?I'm excited for this summer!

Hey whitey howd you like Isle of Palms? I was there this spring break and fell in love.

Cant wait to see some of you this summer

Hey guys, popping in before i go out. How bout the first setlist?I'm excited for this summer!

Going to Fenway?...

[davehead34]

That's what I said man! People are complaining right now. Some chicks actually brought in blankets!

I've done both. Definitely where the AC is too cold. Bring a hoodie.

[davehead34]

So Jen, I was wondering and I thought you'd be able to help me out here, but my friends and I were looking to throw ourselves into bushes. It sounds like a good ol time, and if we enjoy that, we'll try jumping out of trees into bushes. Any advice?

[whiteysax]

so i think we broke up today...

Well Chase, it is not as complicated as it sounds. Buush diving is an art that can be perfected in a very short amount of time. The picture you see in my avatar is, in fact, my first attempt. All you have to do is get good and inebriated, find a buush (preferably bigger than your own body - as you can see I picked a rather harmless tiny buush), and fall back into it. Also it is preferred to be giggling uncontrollably as you do this. I think the next logical step is obviously out of trees into buushes, and now it is my mission to do this at Alpine. :) Feel free to PM me if you need any more advice. ;)

[smeritt]

:thumbsup First set was pretty tight man! Does anyone know which version of Raven they performed?

Going to Fenway?...If I had an extra 700 dollars than maybe. Nope im a SPACer

her in jersey, on her lunch break. Me in florida in my bathing suit sitting poolside. I had to call her from my moms cell phone because she was avoiding my calls. I wanted to end it now just so that I could stop thinking about it. She was the one that said she wanted to get out first, but this was a mutual thing. I did a lot of thinking this week, and I really realized that I was just not happy anymore, not comfortable anymore. And I just wanted it to end.

We were not going to see other for a while since we were both working and it was bound to end the next phone call. So, i guess my only question is, was it jerky to end it over the phone with us 1,000 miles apart? The breakup was inevitable. I just wanted to it to happen asap

[Popeye2003]

That's what I said man! People are complaining right now. Some chicks actually brought in blankets!
You should warm them up :D

Jar, I'm sorry. :hug I don't think it was jerky to end it over the phone for a few reasons. You said it was mutual so I'm guessing she wanted to end it asap also, especially if she was avoiding your calls this whole time. The phone on my lunch break was how I got my heart broken last September. Yeah, it sucks. But do I think the guy was an asshole over it? No. We're still really good friends. We ended up seeing each other after the phone call because I needed to have it end in person. That's just me, but if you guys are both fine with it - which it seems you are, then it's alright. I don't think it makes you a bad person at all. Why put yourselves through any more than you're already going through?

It's early and I'm rambling. I hope I've helped in some way. I'll be back later when I go to work but just know that we're all here for you. :) :hug :hug

No it wasn't jerky... you both knew it was going to happen, so no reason to prolong the inevitable. If it's mutual then it wasn't an asshole thing to do. Her avoiuding your calls was the more jerky thing to do. I hope you feel better.

[whiteysax]

Sorry to hear, Jar... Hope things get better for you... i know how it feels to be in something you just don't think is working... it's frustrating as hell!

and sorry to everyone for leaving you hanging last nite... we talked for nearly 5 hours about stuff last nite (during the setlist chat!!!! :violent ) She didn't want things to end, even though it sounded like they were that afternoon. So I told her everything that got to me and what had to change if it was going to get better... she was very receptive, until 5 mins before i had to go to bed, then she got real defensive... so as far as i know, we're still together... but i think the whole situation is up in the air... i just need it to be summer

[Popeye2003]

Oh man :(

[JenLuvsDMB]

Arg. :hugs all around. I'm sorry guys.

[whiteysax]

thanks jen... it's frustrating... cause i'm even less sure of what's going on now than i was when she got mad and assumed it was over...

[davehead34]

Well Chase, it is not as complicated as it sounds. Buush diving is an art that can be perfected in a very short amount of time. The picture you see in my avatar is, in fact, my first attempt. All you have to do is get good and inebriated, find a buush (preferably bigger than your own body - as you can see I picked a rather harmless tiny buush), and fall back into it. Also it is preferred to be giggling uncontrollably as you do this. I think the next logical step is obviously out of trees into buushes, and now it is my mission to do this at Alpine. :) Feel free to PM me if you need any more advice. ;)

:lol Noted.

I suppose I'll have to learn how to climb palm trees until I finally make it back home to Rhode Island.

You should warm them up

Not these chicks - they're MARRIED! :eek

Jeez... I guess no one ever said relationships were easy.

so we broke up today......

Sorry to hear that, Jar, especially since it happened while you were on a vacation. At least now you can focus on drinking margaritas by the beach! :D

[JenLuvsDMB]

I hate that state of unknowingness. That's what gets me into trouble. I have to know what's going on.

[JenLuvsDMB]

:lol Noted.

Rhode Island huh? Are you moving?

[davehead34]

Oh yeah, and good morning, guys! :) I'm tired as hell right now! I just had my first gig with the DMB cover band (Stepping Feet) last night downtown. It was pretty cool. I was kind of nervous, but I think it went over well.

[Jessica41]

I hate that state of unknowingness. That's what gets me into trouble. I have to know what's going on.

I'm the same exact way

[davehead34]

Rhode Island huh? Are you moving?

For better or worse, yes. Things went really south with my room mates. I just can't take it anymore!

[Jessica41]

Chase since you're moving back home you better come to a PA show.

[whiteysax]

I hate that state of unknowingness. That's what gets me into trouble. I have to know what's going on.
forget that... even though i'm the one that set this whole ball into motion, i deserve to know what's going on

[whiteysax]

hope all works out for you Chase... we will definitely welcome you back to the east coast!!!

[JenLuvsDMB]

Well I'm sorry that things aren't working out with your roommates, but I'm glad you're moving this way. :)

[JenLuvsDMB]

forget that... even though i'm the one that set this whole ball into motion, i deserve to know what's going on

Very true. :hug

[Bswartz95]

Bűsh diving has only been perfected by one person: Gater1848

His bűsh diving skill is a form of art.

(see my pictures in the green link from Pearl Jam weekend)

[JenLuvsDMB]

I suppose I have much to learn.

[davehead34]

I hate that state of unknowingness. That's what gets me into trouble. I have to know what's going on.

That's pretty much how I feel right now with most things in my life. I had what I thought was a pretty solid and air tight plan, but it all kind of went down the tubes since this thing with my room mates happened. Now I'm moving back home and I'm not really sure what I'll do when I get back there. Working, I suppose. :shrug

Don't you just love it when life throws you curveballs? It might actually turn out to be something very good. And if nothing else, you'll be closer to most of us. :)

[Popeye2003]

Not these chicks - they're MARRIED! :eek
Like that has ever kept you from doing anything :evil

[davehead34]

Chase since you're moving back home you better come to a PA show.

I'm not so sure about that! Money's pretty tight right now, and I won't be back officially until the end of summer. I'm taking leave for the Fenway shows, though.

Well I'm sorry that things aren't working out with your roommates, but I'm glad you're moving this way.

This way? I'll almost be just as far from you over there! :lol

Don't you just love it when life throws you curveballs? It might actually turn out to be something very good. And if nothing else, you'll be closer to most of us.

I love being spontaneous, but I also like to have a certain amount of control over the decisions that affect my life. I'm sure it'll turn out for the best. I do have all my family over there, and I know that I'll be more likely to do something with my music in New England. The culture on the East Coast is so much cooler! And there are definitely way more Ants on the East Coast.

Like that has ever kept you from doing anything

I have no idea what you mean! :rolleyes

[Jessica41]

Fine then. Next summer. :)

[newscane]

I suppose I'll have to learn how to climb palm trees until I finally make it back home to Rhode Island.

I had a friend at UM that would climb palm trees. And lightpoles. He walked around campus barefoot. Ha.

[davehead34]

Damn. That's some serious talent! I tried climbing palm trees a few times, but I stopped when I finally fell off from about 10 feet and almost broke my neck.

[davehead34]

Fine then. Next summer. :)

There's always next summer. Or this winter! :)

[JenLuvsDMB]

My best friend lives in NYC and is trying to convince me to move over there. I still think RI is closer to MI than CA. Wow. That's a lot of abbreviations. ;)

True true. You should move to NYC if you get the opportunity. It's not everyday you get a chance to pack up and move to an exciting place like that! It usually takes someone you know pretty well to make something like that happen. I'd like to live in Boston one day. That's my dream. :)

[JenLuvsDMB]

I used to want to live in Boston. When I rowed in college we went for the Head of the Charles and I fell in love with the city. So gorgeous.

[smeritt]

I just got my summer tickets today from Warehous. Dear god they are beautiful

The tickets, you mean.

[smeritt]

lol yes

[DMBfan41]

hey thanks guys, HR is the best place in the world, truly is.

I just apologize to you guys, i think all you've heard the past month about me was me not being sure about how the relationship is.

But, I can honestly say that i feel like a burdon is gone. I thought about her, but I feel that its better now that its over. I realize that the only reason why I still wanted it to continue was....unfortunately, because she actually liked me and wanted to be with me at one time. I know she hasn't felt that way lately. I guess it was hard for me to say goodbye to someone that wanted to be with me.

I'll admit, i'm not good with the ladies and opportunities for me just do not come very often. So, i hope another opportunity will come along. Maybe not a relationship anytime soon, just something.

[Popeye2003]

lol yes
Good. :)

Being single, I think, is great for a few reasons.

1. You don't have to worry about constantly having to please or think about your girlfriend.

2. You don't have to worry about what she's thinking about.

3. You don't have to worry about whether or not she likes another guy.

4. You don't have to worry about whether or not you like her more than she likes you (or vice versa).

And finally...

5. You don't have to WORRY.

Don't get me wrong - I wish I had a girlfriend. I am a loner and love my "Chase time" but I miss the company and intimacy a girlfriend provides. Here's the thing, though - if you have to worry about all that shit I just mentioned, then it's probably not a relationship worth having. I can't wait to find someone where that'll happen. Patience, my friend. Patience. Until then all you can do is sit back and enjoy the ride, I suppose. It's one helluva ride. :cool

[il bacio dolce]

Omg be single. LoL. I don't understand why you would want monogamy! :lol

[JenLuvsDMB]

Here's the thing, though - if you have to worry about all that shit I just mentioned, then it's probably not a relationship worth having.

:thumbsup Exactly.

[davehead34]

When you least expect it, Jar. That's when something else will come along.

:thumbsup YES.

However...

What if you expect it to happen when you're not expecting it? :confused

I've been expecting it to happen when I'm not expecting it for the past couple of years and I haven't had anything significant happen. Just a lot of lessons learned. :lol I think I may need to change my belief and outlook on dating. I'm only receptive to meeting chicks I want to date at concerts (primarily DMB shows). That really thins the pool out. :lol

[davehead34]

Omg be single. LoL. I don't understand why you would want monogamy! :lol

Aren't you in a relationship, Cass? :confused :lol

[JenLuvsDMB]

:lol What I mean is that you shouldn't expect it at all - when you don't want it to happen, when you're not looking, when you're finally okay with being on your own...that type of thing. :)

[il bacio dolce]

screw it lol

[GoodDayIIDie]

!!!!!Soy PICOSO!!!!!

[whiteysax]

Omg be single. LoL. I don't understand why you would want monogamy! :lol...... mhmm....:shrug

[GoodDayIIDie]

The best advice I can give anyone who's down on relationships is to not worry about them so much. Occupy your time with things that assert your identidy and keep you busy. Example: I'm in a band, am an English Major and do alot of reading, writing and checking out of local bands. Add in work and visits to the gym and there is always something for me to do. Being busy like this also puts me in many social situations. I'm never short of new people to meet.

If it sounds hard to you, it will be. But like anything, it gets easier. Good luck.

[il bacio dolce]

Okay. The thing with Jon, the guy from the lake. Here's how it all wound up.

He admits he made mistakes, llike messin around with me when he basically just wanted to mess around with a girl! I have to understand that it was as much my fault as his, I wasn't exactly pulling away. And it was fun so I'm glad I did it. LoL. I had to take a break from writing this just to think about it. :lol

Anyway. He didn't mean to hurt me.. he wanted to be friends.. just to be in contact with me because he felt bad about shutting me out like he did years ago.. I should accept his apology because it is genuine and he is very direct about his intentions. We couldn't have anything if he wanted to, we live too far apart. We live very different lives too. It wouldn't work. Doesn't mean we can't be friends and check up on eachother from time to time. We do have the lake. ;)

[smeritt]

Honestly the best things really do coem when you least expect it. That's how it was with my girlfriend. I honestly had no intentions and then all of a sudden things happened. And it's been the best 5 months in as long as I could remember. Good things coem to those who wait

[Popeye2003]

:hump

[newscane]

The Ants crew will have a giant AM.org flag flying at SPAC. We'll probably be in the lot near the premier parking.

[smeritt]

Yea we definitely need to plan something

[whiteysax]

yes we need to plan this SPAC trip. I have no clue whats going on../.all the info i know is that Primo has our tickets... i'll be driving through the area if you need a ride, and i have a room with 2 beds and a pullout (i think) that me and Primo are using so far... you can add yourself to the entire plan if you like :D

[JenLuvsDMB]

Alpine.

That is all. :)

[gbs3769]

The current plan is that Chris is coming to Syracuse on Thursday afternoon/night so that we can head to The Limerick Pub and grab a drink. We will be driving to SPAC on Friday during the day, most likely leaving by 2 at the absolute latest. I would love to get on the road by noon.

We will take our stuff to the hotel and then pack up the car (I'm planning on bringing my mom's SUV) with all of the stuff that we need to actually tailgate with. I want to try and roll into the park at the same time that everyone else is getting there so that we can get close to them for tailgating purposes.

So Jess, come to Syracuse, either with Chris or on your own.

- Primo

[smeritt]

No really Primo I'm not driving to SPAC either you ass

[gbs3769]

:lol

That is the plan for the people that I have tickets for. Obviously other cool people such as yourself are going. All you have to do is make sure you are on the SPAC phonelist and you will get my number...

- Primo

[smeritt]

No we are fighting I cant beleive you could forget me. It's because I'm 17 isn't it? ISNT IT!?!>?!?!

[gbs3769]
