GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Been A Long Time Since I Rock And Rolled
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 23 2009, 01:46 PM
Did you miss me guys? I have been away for 2 months and I thought I'd pop back and say hey. I've sorted a new job out for the time being which I should be starting in a few weeks and also I am far less stressed and down than before so now I feel I can make my return. (Albeit less often than I used to be on here but seen as though that was 24 hours a day it'll probably still be a lot of time 
)
I have been practicing guitar a bit more lately and I'm going on a holiday to Poland in 2 weeks time 
So things are going well. How is everybody doing

Glad you're feeling better OC, welcome back to the forum!
Posted by: Artemus Apr 23 2009, 01:51 PM
Good of you to pop back and really glad to hear that things are looking up for you. The new REC program is pretty tasty, don't know whether it started before you left.
Have a nice time in Poland

You've lost me lol. Maybe I have a bit of catching up to do

Heya Paul! good to see you return, I knew you`d be back 
Glad to see your getting things into order, welcome back mate!

I'm pretty much sorted with everything now and I needed it. I knew I couldn't leave for good but now I have sorted parts of my life out drastically.
1. I have a girlfriend 2. New Job 3. TWO Holidays Booked
(Poland and Tunisia) 4. I have a new life in USA I start next Easter now which has been pushed back due to me needing to save more money and spend a bit more time sorting things out.So yeah, it's a totally new me currently

Glad to hear you're doing well, Paul!
I've got a...kinda new job myself. It's boring as hell though. I can work either at 7:00 to 14:30, 15:00 to 22:30 or 22:30 till 6:00. The last one pays the most. I can work anything in between 15 hours and 55 hours a week - that's up to me. I only need to work 25 hours a week at this job to pay rent for my apartment etc. So that's what's up here in Denmark.

Who are you?
j/k glad to hear you're doing alright

Glad to here all is well Paul. Are you still moving to the Northeast part of the US?
Posted by: DeepRoots Apr 23 2009, 03:00 PM
Welcome back OC Good to have you around again..awesome news that things are going so well for you lately
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 23 2009, 03:01 PM
Are you still moving to the Northeast part of the US?I've changed my plans a bit but I'm still moving to North East part. I was going to be living in Stamford, Connecticut but now it's looking more likely that I'll be living in Hartford, Connecticut. I guess it isn't that much different though.
Hopefully people can tell me what Hartford is like as I am moving there and I'd love to know if it is awful or not I hope it's not as I can't really change my mind now.

Hey man! Glad everythings going well for you now, really pleased for you
Really glad you've found someone too. Was that through my advice per chance?! heh
No big news here, I mean... I got engaged, but thats about it...

haha. Congratulations mate. Not big news at all
Not through that advice amazingly as I thought that was my only chance of finding someone. It's actually with somebody I've known for 5 years and it just seemed right. I get on so naturally with her and for a long time she really liked me and I liked her but didn't want a girlfriend. I feel now that things are different and hopefully it works well. Unfortunately she works abroad for 5 months a year but it doesn't matter as I get to visit in Tunisia and it means when we see each other it's more special

He he he! Welcome back man!
We surely missed our good old Paul... Did you moved? How is french horn playing neighbour doing? 
Glad you are back bro!
Cheers

Hey OC, welcome back. Doubt you remember me much as i'm not as active as some people here but it's nice to hear when someones changes their life for the better . It sounds like you're really putting the effort in to change the way your life is, i really admire and respect that and to be honest i wish i could do the same .
I hope you enjoy your holiday don't forget to take lots of pictures so we can see what a great time you've had and get jealous of the holiday . My last holiday abroad was Turkey, which was awesome sadly i don't have any pictures though. I remember before you left you were really worried about a lot of things but i hope things continue to improve for you. Good luck for the future and stuff and don't forget to play lots of guitar

Good luck for the future and stuff and don't forget to play lots of guitarDon't worry lol. I remember you from when I was last on
I remember everybody from talking on here. There are some faces I don't know that I need to catch up with lol. Yeah I'll be taking plenty of pictures and I hope it's great. I'm going for 8 days which isn't a huge amount but it's a good break. I'm going to celebrate my mates 21st there so it'll be incredible.I play guitar now differently. I don't think I need to learn to shred on it. I just love covering songs and writing catchy rock and metal songs and I'll stick with that. Practicing techniques is not my thing. I will improve by writing songs and learning them as they push me to become better.
Cheers for the welcome back anyway and see you round the forum mate

What a strange job lol. I think I'd like to have that choice as I sometimes feel wide awake at night and tired during the day (All the time
). The 15:00 till 22:30 shift sounds like my ideal job Hopefully your bad luck has passed. I don't think anybody has had that much bad luck in a day before

Cool. Cheers for the links. I will check it out tomorrow as I have band practice in an hour
I can't wait, we are just back off a 3 week break. Doing some new covers and originals Dream On by Aerosmith and Beat It by Michael Jackson lol. I can't wait.

I don't know what you call that kinda place. It's like a warehouse maybe? You get boxes coming at you with a note in them, you get the things that's on the note and put it in the box with a sticker on it.
I've never been as bored in my life, but you can listen to music while you do it etc. Doesn't demand a lot of thought, so you can let your mind wander as well. Pays better than any other job I've had too. Next week I'll be working Monday from 22:30 till 6:00 Tuesday, Tuesday till Wednesday at the same shift, as well as Wednesday and Thursday. So that's a week of only 4 work days, that's pretty cool, I think. First time I'm working night shifts though, so I'm excited about how that turns out for me.

I've worked in a warehouse on nights before and got paid shedloads when I was younger. Although it was only two nights taking down lights and putting up new ones. I just had to move the crane thing around. It was ace. The pay was ridiculous but unfortunately it was only temporary work 
We surely missed our good old Paul... Did you moved? How is french horn playing neighbour doing?
Glad you are back bro! Cheers
She is still there unfortunately. Does my head in. She has a trumpet now as well. Plays Special's covers at 3am. Enough to drive anyone insane. At least she used to play classical music which was quite soothing. Now I have her playing ska songs whilst tap dancing in what sounds like concrete shoes. It's insane.
I think I'm going to report her to the local mental institute. It only takes two signatures

Posted by: Canis Apr 23 2009, 07:37 PM
Welcome back, Paul!
It sure has been unusual not having you around here
I'm glad you have sorted out stuff ^^
And you go get those signatures for that institute for your neighbour, or bribe a cat to sneak in and saboutage her instruments... 
Posted by: Sensible Jones Apr 23 2009, 07:47 PM
Good to hear that things are working out for you Paul!!!!
Posted by: VinceG Apr 23 2009, 08:32 PM
Nice for you to be back Paul.
Why Connecticut anyway?
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 23 2009, 09:45 PM
Hey OC, glad to hear you're OK! Hope to see you more often on forums, or at least occasionally! Rock on mate!
Posted by: Fsgdjv Apr 23 2009, 09:48 PM
Great to have you back, and I'm glad to hear you're doing better. However you kind of remind me that I need to take care of a lot of things aswell with my life 
Posted by: ItsMe Apr 23 2009, 09:58 PM
cool that you are back. Drove through Hartford once or twice. Looks quite nice. The riverfront park is really pretty. In addition you are not far from New York or Boston if you need some extra kick. The summers and falls in New England are spectecular and the winters are long and cold. But it's a very nice place to live. Have fun and all the best for your future. I am leaving The US for good unfortunately and I am really sad about it.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 6 2009, 11:03 AM
I'm going to Krakow. Any tips on places worth visiting? And places to stay away from lol. Any good pubs as well

So things are going well. How is everybody doing I wondered what happened to you. Good to hear from you.
