I'm cutting down my time, at WP. I'll be spending half of the time, that I usually spend, here during week days. I'll still be posting full time, on weekends. I'm going to start interacting more, with the members at my clubhouse, when my best friend is around. I want to connect with them, a little more, because I've known them, for 12 years. You are also my friends, as well. I just want to even out my time with my clubhouse friends, and with my WP friends, which is all of you, who post here. I need a balance.

omg I didn't even look at your post count! WOW! heh

I don't mind! But I do enjoy your posts! :D

However, the less you talk, the more you have to talk about, I've discovered. So I'm alright with this!

I'll miss you, but I understand how you feel. I like to cut down on my posting too, when I want to spend more time with my family.

I'm definitely going to miss seeing your frequent posts.
Everytime I go log into WP, I always see your posts and I find it awesome to read. :)

Dear CockneyRebel,

You were the first member I noticed on here and the first member who, inadvertently, gave me courage to relax a little more in my posts.

Your apparent honesty and warm, open heart is always comforting.

I'll miss you when you're not here and I'll look forward to your casual presence and posts. :D

I've changed my mind. I've read your responses, and I'm not going to cut down my hours. The reason that I was going to cut down my hours, is because I've boasted one time too many, about changes that I've made, last September, and a couple of the members told me, that nobody cares about my music and the changes, that I've made. I care. The Kinks are my identity, and Mick Avory is my role model. One of the members weren't even around, between 2006, and 2009, so they can't even begin to imagine me, making peace with myself, after having a nasty attitude, for the last three years. 2007, 2008 and most of 2009 - My Punk days. I felt that I was overstaying my welcome, and telling under 25s and newbies, stuff that they don't know about. I had a bad attitude, and I'm back to where I was, when I've moved into my apartment, before things went bad, in very late 2006. I just didn't feel loved, accepted and appreciated. I want everybody here, to be happy for me, but it's hard, if some people don't care.

Well, do you care about me?

I doubt it, your a stranger on a messageboard and im a stranger to you.

if I were to show happyness for your person and that I care It would only be at a superficial level. So would you rather I lie to you tell you that yes, im a total stranger who has little idea who you are off the internet but I have a stake in your happiness? Would you really be convinced by that? I think i'd be insulting your intelligence to say otherwise.

It's no different to people saying how are you? as a greeting. Do they really care how you are? Here how about this, next time someone says that to you grab them by the arm and say "Oh no i feel awful, i really need help" Then watch as the blood drains from their face in abject horror as you call their bluff. Its pretty damn amusing.

I was thinking about the fact that I've even started this thread, in the first place. It is the Internet, and you guys can't see me, on the other side of the screen, wouldn't it be neat, if we could all see each other, while posting. I guess that it's a Theory of Mind thing, that I expect people on the Internet to congratulate me, for getting my life back on track, after being insulted, and defriended, but I've got to be happy for myself.

Ever since 2004, I have said that people on the internet are nothing but an IP with a personality. I say it not to insult, but to say that I do not care, as in it doesn't bother me, who you are. I do not care if you have some weird fetish. I do not care if you are black, white, yellow, red, purple. I do not care if you have no job, or have a great paying job. I may be interested later in these things, but I love/like a person for who they are entirely without the society labels. And I certainly do like the CockneyRebel! :D I guess I have a big heart. But I am prone to shoving myself out of my own heart.

Actually, I do care about you. I care about everybody here, very deeply. All of you guys are like a family, to me. Even more of a family than my biological family is to me. I care about everybody here, with all of my heart. Sometimes it feels as though you're the only family, that I have. All that my real family ever did, was hurt me, by trying to crush my spirit.
