I might be new, but he's EVERYWHERE u look!!! LOL it wasn't too hard to work up that little bit of info

NICE!!! thanks

Don't mind at all, thanks for asking No news on any tests they did, but I'm given to understand no news is good news! I may call at the end of the week just to be sure.. At any rate, they felt a "wait and see" approach was in order for my particular health goings-on. (I won't bother to detail those here, as they are female problems and likely to make a dude say "ok, I'm better off not knowing!" LOL) So I guess I am basically good to go for now!! Might schedule a few blood tests, too, though.. Had a super scary episode while driving two weekends ago where I honestly thought I was having a stroke. The two issues may not be at all related..

Samsung Galaxy SIII Hooray for re-entering the social structure!!! If I could take a picture of the phone with the phone AND figure out how to paste that here, I would..

"Hello, my name is Radi. I am from Bulgaria, although I may or may not be resident in that country at this particular moment... As well, I may or may not have internet. In fact, I may or may not post here on psynews anymore (except under this new guise of mine, of course, and any others that might be attributed to me, the real me, whoever I really am). If you ask me, mountains are really the shit. I also occasionally listen to goa. If you want to get into an argument with me about practically anything or practically nothing, though, I am probably up to the task and will argue you right into a sealed box sent prepaid to the top of the world, case closed!!" oh geez, I sure hope he doesn't un-friend me now No offense meant, real Radi, I barely know yeh but I'm sure you're pretty cool!

LOL oh dear, what corner have I backed myself into.... Maybe I should play this up!! I wonder if the "real" Radi would even object -- perhaps we can expose his true nature this way

Yeah, I saw him online today! Did someone open a can of salmon in here...

I was just going to post approximately the same thing Currently on track #2, How the Jellyfish Jumped Up the Mountain. I LOVE this album. And the more I listen to it (probably on round 8 or so) the more I love it. Yes, it's different than the 4 previous full albums, but as others have pointed out, each of those was as different from the others as this one is from the lot. IMHO they all stand alone and all stand quite well. I think this album is an EXCELLENT showcase of Simon's (et al) talent!!! I am eating this album up with the same voraciousness I did all the others, each in their turn.

HAHA!! Does that mean you suppose I might be another incarnation of whatever origin Radi "spawned" from? (if indeed he is not himself.. lol) That tickles me Unlike Radi, though, I'm credibly active elsewhere, like FB and the Twisted Forums Though I admit I'm not fully convinced about Radi, either -- since accepting my friend request on FB, I've yet to see any activity from him or even proof he's seen any message I've sent him...

I will hopefully get more information tomorrow. And hopefully it will just turn out to be nothing, anyway, that seems to be what usually happens in situations like these It just got me thinking, if I was given a grim outlook, what would I want to do with my life/health.. Really just gotta think positively, though Thanks for your kind words!! I do love the psy community, so filled with great people!

I like this thread Good topic, Ormion! I've enjoyed reading everyone's responses About 6 months ago, I was a 10 Life was amazing. Everything felt blessed. (And it was.) I've since lost a little of the grace I felt, I credit it to letting people into my life mostly. Not that they are bad people, or that the premise itself is bad -- it was time to let people in, and most of life comes with stress So I'd have emotionally called it a 7, although with rational examination it was really probably more like an 8 or perhaps even 9. Just today, I am dealing with the prospect that I have cervical cancer. But it's early in the game, and I could probably easily not. Nevertheless, the prospect has my head in a weird place... So I'd say, just at the moment, I'm at.... 6+1/2?? (edit: I went 7, by the way) (edit) Overall I'd have to say a 5. Sad, isn't it? Considering I found 10 not too long ago?

For anyone who pre-ordered Shpongle 5 (mp3 dl available now!!!), track 4 (Aquatic Garden of Extra-Celestial Delights) has a good "crying" sample First hit just before 4:30, I think.... BTW so far I would rate this album a MASTERPIECE!!!!!

My favorite so far is Japan -- Shibuya//Tokyo, and Kyoto. The culture and architecture are SO different from anywhere else I've ever been!! Felt totally foreign, and at the same time felt like the people there went out of their way to make me feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed everywhere I went Such a beautiful country, with a real emphasis on inner peace and aesthetics. I only wish I'd had the opportunity to dig into the electronica scene.. Hopefully I'll get another chance someday

I’m going to mark “Yes, other” for this simply because there are a few conventions from society that haven’t quite left my head yet. I think the outside world’s the mental illness, for the most part This was once again a very interesting thread to read.. Sounds like we probably all have a bit in common, as lemmiwinks said, “we all had a ‘black sheep’ mentality growing up.” I went thru a lot of “craziness” through the years – diagnoses, depression, pills, freak-outs, loose morals etc lol, but eventually I found myself (with sizable help from electronica, no less) and I would say now that I’m a particularly grounded person who is truly happy inside, tho she doesn’t quite fit in with the “normals” I am also starting to have my own suspicions that Radi is not real, despite the accepted FB friend request… How come you have not even viewed my FB message, Radi? Wouldn’t a real person be able to do that? Anoebis, thank you for sharing your personal story! You sound like a really amazing person to me I knew a guy with Asperger’s in grad school and he did not have the grip on himself that you have. I felt kind of bad for him because imo his parents made it worse with the way they "handled" him – for example, they didn't allow him to use a toaster or ride in the front passenger seat of a car. I mean this guy was in his late 20’s and in grad school, for chrissakes. I feel like maybe they were sorry to have a kid with Asperger’s and they didn’t give him much of a chance. He was really super smart, though, and I think with better parenting he might have been able to reach the place you have, instead of mainly freaking out in public from time to time. What a shame. Anyway, congratulations to you for finding your “home” thru a bit of adversity, and thanks again for sharing Thanks to everyone who shared!

hah, easy one for me, as it was only six days ago http://www.psynews.org/forums/index.php/topic/66505-any-psytrance-lovers-from-the-united-states/?p=1017655 I think I can safely say nothing's changed since then!

LOL

OMG really??! LOL that is one of my top 3 favorite Shpongle tracks!! It amazes me how different minds hear music differently In fact, Tea Daze is one of the tracks I play for friends when trying to "get them into" Shpongle. I almost always fail at this task, and perhaps you've finally shed light on WHY it fails. I take it for granted that great minds always think alike Makes much more sense (and thank goodness for humanity for this) that "great minds" are quite diverse in their tastes and hear things from all different angles. Still, what I wouldn't give to find (or perhaps even create) one single work of electronica that would hook everybody into the cosmic flow behind psy/goa.. Anyways, sorry, sorta off topic there

I am in Woodstock What are some good events around here this year??

Hmm I never really thought about how the crying sound makes me feel... I do like it -- like you say, Radi, it usually feels imbued with magic, powerfully emotional My favorite "crying" track at the moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP59jZAx5cw Koxbox Go Fly a Kite

I must say, sitting here smoked out and listening to Psysex, this has been a very entertaining, informative, and intriguing thread to read Keep it going!! And for the record, Radi (I just friend requested you on FB, let's see if I get a response lol), I say you might as well keep posting, regardless of anything at all Why not, right??! What is reality anyway

I do It's basically my house of worship... I have only one other friend who craves Goa/psy the way I do, and he lives in Hawai'i (I'm in NY) AND we've never even met in person Just recently, I got a new friend totally hooked, though!! He's an exceptional drummer, that may have had something to do with it Definitely seems like psy lovers are fewer and further between here in the States..
