Hi. This is more of a last Thank You to the UGers who I've talked to through my 5 years here. It's about time that I've left for good - I remember the last time I said that but it never worked out due to my guitar-ing interests - but this time it's for good because I see no reason why I should stay on a guitar forum anymore . I'm sure a lot of you are aware of the thread I made several weeks ago about how I couldn't find inspiration from guitar anymore and taking Nilpferdkoenig's comments, I really don't belong here anymore , even if it is the PIT.
I'll be enrolling in Law School next month, hopefully, so that's a even bigger incenstive for me to leave, especially if it's costing me £11,500 for barely a whole year to study excluding accommodation and living costs . It's not like Hotel California because I'm forced, in a way, this time - it's different and it's not like University anymore - more like a professional job that requires the utmost attention. It's not such a rash decision to move because I've always contemplated this day for a few years now. The last time I "left" UG was during university although I don't think I thought it through that time because there were times where I did find some spare time to troll around here because it serves as a perfect way to prcrastinate. It's very different now because I'm dealing with huge sums of money and I really can't afford to fail.
Moreover, I feel that the PIT is a little different than it used to be - not in a negative way but I definitely feel a lot older than the average PIT posts suggest that I don't find it inspiring anymore. The time is right I think for me to leave. I'm going to ask for a permaban so this will probably be the last you will hear of me, most definitely, unless you've got my msn address (I reserve that for a small amount of people, so if I reject you, don't take offence to it).
Here's a of my favourite UGers and I'm sorry if I left you out but I'm reserving it for those who I regularly speak to in no specific order. Oh - to those UGers who I didn't add on my profile, my appolgies . I hardly ever check them and that's because I don't like to add people and reply with a small message. I like to reply with a person message and unfortunately, I just couldn't keep up with it or find the time to write detailed messages to everyone - so I just didn't check them.
So far so good? Life is looking up and my Zodiac forecast suggests that my career is about to lift and even though I'm not particularly superstitious, I'm definitely hoping it's true !
So - don't foget to work you ass off whatever you're doing if you want your dreams to come true.
- Always work hard and don't anything for granted such as an abundance of resources that you have at your leisure. Hopefully everything will pan out well for you. If you're in education and have the resources, don't take that for granted. Stay up until university unless you're completely sure you won't need it because you've got a backup apprenticeship plan or similar. Often, drop outs have no qualifications so don't quit just because you can. University usually doubles your chances at success in employment and although education isn't everything, it certainly is worth the investment.
- Always be nice to everyone and treat anyone properly with due care and courtesy. If you end up in arguments with people you know, don't start fights but try to resolve things in a diplomatic way: be a little more open to other people's feelings. If it's not possible to resolve, just leave mutually and take pity. The world doesn't need anymore fighting for ridiculously petty things. This is in response to many of the revenge threads on UG. You're not 11 anymore so start thinking like an adult.
- For birthdays and christmas's don't ask for ridiculously expensive gifts. It might be Western culture to receive gifts but your parents can all do with a bit of a break. Ask for something you need next time like a new rucksack for highschool or shoes that are falling apart. In most cases, you really don't need that new guitar or amplifier. If you're parents insist, then so be it, but if you have the choice, just think of someone other than yourself for a change. I always ask people to wish good things for me and there's nothing better than wishing for something intangible such as good fortune with exams.
- The 21st century has brought new ideologies and ways of thinking but you must still act civilized. As a last plea - please stop with rape jokes and I cum blood memes. It's just not funny. I've got into a lot of flame wars with a lot of people on here due to my inability to take jokes as they are but my culture is different to most of you here (I won't name the particular situations involved but a lot of you will know already). Irrespective of cultures actually, it cannot be viewed as civilized. No girl will ever see it as funny.
- Stay optimistic on your goals and don't let anyone bring you down. No one has the right to make you feel bad if you've done nothing wrong. It's time to stop taking people's unnecessary comments seriously beucase you don't need it. Don't let it get to you. Don't judge people for bad things that they have done to you because their upbringing was unfortunate. It's best to not question it and feel sorry for them - they really mean you no harm.
- If there's something wrong with you - go to the Doctor, don't make a thread about it. 99.9% of us aren't qualified to medically diagnose you on the internet. - If you've found a rubbish guitar player on Youtube, no one gives a damn. Some people just aren't as good as other people - so what?
- Don't artist bash - again, no one gives a damn. I remember someone made a gif of crosshairs being put on the Jonas Brothers - God, how much time he had...
- If you need help on your homework, don't ask UG. They might know the answer to your math or science problem but ultimately, that's what teachers are for - use them. If you didn't do your homework that's due in the day after that's your own fault. When you get a job, pressure is going to be a hundred times as bad so if you can't cope at a highschool level, you may as well call yourself a failure (subject to those with learning difficulties but in any case, ask your teacher for help not UG)
"- The 21st century has brought new ideologies and ways of thinking but you must still act civilized. As a last plea - please stop with rape jokes and I cum blood memes. It's just not funny."
It isn't funny, no. But it is funny seeing you go absolutely mental at the people making the jokes.
I never talked to you so you won't know me, but I remember you were talking about Joey Yung to someone once, and I've seen you in The Pit when I occasionally lurked. Have fun at law school, hope all goes well there and best of luck for the future.
I guess all good things have to come to an end. Goodbye, man, you really inspired me with what you've written. Good luck for your future, I hope you succeed!
