Andy, man.

WOW. That is all I can say. I'm somewhat of an acquaintance of yours. And have always thought pretty highly of you. You've kind of snapped me back to reality a few times yourself, but dude, you need to get off the internet. You've posted over 20 pages of hyper-spiritual prose that is completely unnecessary and self-indulgent. You could have just said: we're done, we don't get along, and I'm going through something that's pretty intense right now, so we're done.

For someone who claims to be an authority on music, I'm kind of ashamed dude. Listen dude, the reason I've been consistently content in making music is because I literally don't listen to ANYTHING anyone has to say about my bands. The same goes for playing live. "You barely play shows, you always turn them down, even really good ones," that's because nobody governs me. I raised myself since the age of 10. I set moral standards for myself. Expectations. Goals. I did it.

I always thought you governed yourself as well, but in responding to this nonsense, it's this forum, along with the stonerrocks and obelisk forums that are governing you.

If you have friends telling you they are going to kidnap you; they aren't your friends. Andy, trust me dude:

Turn off your computer. Go Fishing. Hunting. Something.
Sitting on the internet passively bragging about killing someone isn't cool. And trust me, I "get" you, I "get" that you are going through something. But come on dude. stop posting. and stop caring about this whole thing because it will drive you mad.

Right now I'm in 2 bands. They play whenever we want to play, and I couldn't care less what anyway has to say about them, their expectations or their rumors.

YOU need to take MY advice now.
You claim you're focusing on things bigger than music... so do that.
