No complaints,.. + Apology

Sun Nov 23, 2008, 3:25 AM
I would like to apolgize for my previous journal entry /that I since then deleted/ which was a very angry rant based on a misunderstanding. I was very hot headed and made a big fuss.
I would like to apologize to the person involved and to those who got involved in my rant. I thought I was being used and didn't wait to listen to her side of the story and overreacted.
**************************************************

I was determined to write a happy journal. I've been happy all morning, happy to finally get enough sleep and I have time to do creative work.. And then I got an sms> The Chinese Democracy album I've been waiting for about 10 years has arrived to the music store and I could go an pick it up.
Yay! Happyness overdrive.
I've been a Guns N' Roses fan for most of my life *from the age of 8* and I've always loved their music. I got to see their live performance in 2006 and was incredibly happy despite their being 3 hours late.
Today I could finally get my hands on Chinese Democracy. The first time I heard about Chinese Democracy was in 1998 I think and I've heard about release dates nearly every year, sometimes more often.

So I bought the record and was happy as Larry. My enthusiasm lasted about 15 minutes after I started listening to it. At the moment I think it's overrated /it got 4 stars out of 5 by Rolling Stone magazine* overproduced and well I don't like it much.

It's not like I was unfamiliar with the music. I've heard leak versions of 4-5 songs, heard live performances and I unfortunately prefer the bad quality live versions to the new high quality album.
It's not a total dissappointment, but if I was a kid now I probably wouldn't become a fan. I miss some simplicity. This is not the band I "fell in love with".

I don't usually write about the music I like or dislike, but I just had to get it out of my system.
I might actually grow to like it /it happened with other CDs before/.

Now some good news:
*I have time to paint > I should do creative work
*Benji's ears are finally ok, no problems with them
*It's snowing :)
*My presentation went well and I handed in my essay on time

I'm a little bit sad and dissapointed at the moment, but I'll get over it soonish. *hopefully anyway*

Oh, I'm sorry to hear you're disappointed in Chinese Democracy - sometimes the anticipation of having something is a lot more fun than actually having it. :( I'll give it a listen and let you know what I think...

That's what usually happens with high expectations. Sometimes if I look forward to something I try not to have those high expectations :)

Sorry you are disappointed with GNR CD, glad you are creative again, happy Benji's ears are finally ok, and I'm happy YOU have the snow. It's been high 70s or low 80s F here. Good for you on the essay and presentation. :nod:

You're right. I know I shouldn't have expected too much, but I was so overjoyed about anything new coming out. :blushes:

Thank you very much! There isn't that much snow left. I'll know more when I'll go for a walk in the park nearby, maybe there'll be more there.

I'm not sure the snow would be good in the desert, but it must be quite an experience there.

I'm glad about his ears too, thank you! :thanks:

:hug: I'm glad Benji is ok, and snow is good :) Last time it snowed here I went out to fill up the feeders for the birds and almost had a little chickadee land on top of me. Good luck with everything :)

Thank you very much! I love snow. It kind of gives a Christmas like atmosphere. I had a long walk in the snow today, it felt great.
It's time for me to buy seeds for birds for my dad too.

Thank you very much! :thanks:
