"Do something for me..."

I've thought of something.

We're all wonderfully individual people, yes? And by that individuality, we all have different tastes.

We also, as people, have experiences that we would love to share with others. Our lives are just one great big experience, and we can learn much from studying our own lives.

So... tell me. Is there something you want everyone to do? Listen to a piece of music? Visit somewhere? Talk to someone, ask them anything? Have sex? Watch a film? Read a book? Play a game? Anything! If you loved the experience, then why not share it with us, and try and convince us to do what you did.

And anyone who reads it, I think, should make every effort to do so. Hell, we live just the once, right? So why shouldn't we try and sample everything we can?

Come on then, what do you want us to do?

(First: "Shut up?")

(Second: "Oh! I was going to write that!")

Omaha is great, by the way Rasta. :0) Haven't finished Round Here yet.

Heh, what Goaty said about singing your fav song loud in a room full of people.

I do that often. I don't care what they think of my singing abilities. I don't care if they don't like the song I'm singing. It's a song that I love (Incidentally my fav song is Round Here by the Counting Crows :-D) and that I want to share with people, no matter what they think of it. Sod it, if they don't like it, that's up to them, but at least I was trying to share something special with them. At least I tried.

That poem is spot on, Goatboy.

Going to download that Bill Hicks after the Counting Crows finish.

And if anyone is having trouble finding that song I suggested, which I just did searching for it myself, type in "Sigur Ros", and then look for that song, should make things a lot easier.

I just said that... Jese :D

One of the best things you can do... I'm doing it again this Summer...

*mutters about Grix nicking his ideas*

Eat a whole chocolate cake... maybe not such a good idea after a drinking night.

On holiday once I couldn't get to sleep so what I did was set up the camcorder and talked to it for about 2 hours with music on in background... still got it... just let all my thoughts flow, great thing.

Although it did get weird at some bits :)

This topic speaks for itself but my advice is "Keep an open mind and don't just dismiss things without trying them."

If that one's too big, then download "Orange Drink" it's 549kb and just as good. Sums me and my values of life up in 1:03.

Seconded. Do it in your back garden or sitting on a wall or in a park.

Excellent idea Grix.
I'm going to download the Counting Crows song tomorrow.
I have a few suggestions, whether anybody takes them seriously is up to them, and I'm not demanding anyone try any of them:

Tell someone close to you that you love them, without waiting for a promp.

Whether you're in a car or in your room, sing out loud your favourite song and don't worry if anyone hears you.

Try and find a poem called "The Bluebird" by Charles Bukowski (on many web-sites) and tell me if it spoke to you.

If there is someone you fancy and have never said anything to them, do it. Because you never ever know if you'll get the chance to and the worse that can happen is they say no.

Go to this website:
www.billhicks.co.uk/faithinaction/mp3s.html
and download a wav called "Time to Evolve" 1.49mb but worth every second of it.

There are more but I don't want to overwhelm anyone.
If nothing else, find that poem and download that Bill Hicks MP3

Stay awake, and watch the sunset, and then the sunrise.
