i am glad you really get what I was trying to portray with this shot- thanks!

does convey a sense of sadness, perhaps thats just one of the feelings i get when looking at this img.
the rain drops are very reflective of times past and present as you mention. Also this img looks at what the future might hold for us...

I am really glad this evokes some emotion for you. That's exactly what I had intended.
YES! The point I was trying to make is that of the scary rate at which we are domesticating nature. Is that the point you felt it conveyed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
very much so, no matter how much domesticating of nature remember that wild creatures are still wild and instinct overrides most.

Hmmm...
Yes, this is a very interesting point! I guess pet cats killing mice although they fed by their owners so don't need mice for food is an example of this.
Thank you for this interesting point, which I will now add to my library of mental knowledge.

That looks very nice. ^_^ It's so peaceful when it rains and this makes me feel the same way. I just love sitting to watch it fall and start thinking about great times.

It was actually suggesting that the flowers are kinda sad as they can't feel the natural feeling of the rain on them any more, though they are very close, lol. A kinda of domesticated torture.
But I guess that was a bit ambiguous for me to convey, so I like your interpretation a lot, too!

Yeah, I realised there's some sadness involved with the flowers judging by your description. It's just harder for me to actually feel that in seeing the water on the window the way it is. I love running water. Like candles, I can just stare at it for hours. And it's usually a peacful feeling I get when I do that.

Don't worry- it was an obscure message I was trying to convey, lol.
Yeah, I am just trying to think of what kind of images I find soothing... hm, I guess I find music more soothing than certain images.
What kind of music do you listen to, btw?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well...that mostly depends on what mood I'm in. I listen to movie soundtracks mostly. I think I'm more drawn toward easy-going stuff. Yet my favorite band is Within Temptation, which focuses on alternative, goth and hard metal rock.

Um, I listened to a couple of tracks, Forgiven and What Have You Done. It's not really for me, lol. Reminds me of Evanescence a bit. Do you like them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I LOVE them! 
Those two songs you mentioned aren't really MY favorites. "What Have You Done" least of all actually.
Angels: [link]
Memories: [link] (I feel attached to this one for more personal reasons.)
If you're able to get through those first two, this one's my favorite.
Somewhere: [link]
I won't judge you if you don't like them. To be honest, not very many people either my sister or I have talked to have ever even HEARD of Within Temptation. Let alone like them. Some have even said that they're prejudice against them just because they were founded in the Netherlands. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um, I listened to the first few seconds of Memories and it confirmed the fact that this band is not for me, lol. It was kinda relaxing and I do like Ambient music, but more artistic, avant-garde Ambient. Dramatic Metal-y Gothic music isn't my thing I am afraid.
But thanks for the links.
Prejudice against people from the Netherlands? Wow, some people are really ignorant... :/

Hmm. yeah. I figured as much.
Oh boy. Here I go rambling on about nonsense again. And I'm not even sure what type of genre of music, I'M most drawn to. I just know I like the band.

That's a favourite track of mine. Tell me what you think. I met the guy, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm. I like it. It doesn't really "grab" at me the way some other tracks do, (if you know what I mean) but it's pleasant enough that I'm willing to hear it again. Thanks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, right.
Well that was one of the chilled out ones. I only chose it cos you said you like some chilled out music.
Tell me what you type of mood you are in right now and I will find a track to fit your mood by one of my fave artists, Aphex Twin (same artist as that last track I linked you to).

I'm not sure even I know what mood I'm in right now.

Um, the best album to listen to for Aphex Twin is the Richard D James album (that's the name of the one guy who is Aphex Twin).
I will take a look at Mannhein Steamroller. 
Hm, listened and MySpace and it just kinda cheesy Christmas music. :/ I imagine the instrumental stuff is better, though. Please could you link me to it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You found Christmas stuff? Yeah, they take a lot of the more common things and do their own version of them for a lot of it. They actually have an album where the did their own instrumentals of some Disney songs. I think it's really neat, but seeing as we seem to have different tastes in music, the Fresh Aire albums would probably be a better choice if originality is what you're looking for. Unfortunately I don't know of any links for those albums as not many people I know of have heard of them either. My dad really likes them though. They're pretty old, but I've learned to like them as I grew up listening to them. Especially around Christmas time. So even if you find it cheesy, yes, I also like the Christmas stuff.
I'll try to see if I can find SOMETHING on the Fresh Aire stuff though. When I get the TIME that is. Web-surfing isn't something I do very often.

That's cool- yeah, I have some bands that I listen to purely because I was brought up with it. 80s Rock such as Alice Cooper and Rush are examples of these. I still think they're okay now.
I just did a quick check and couldn't find anything on Fresh Aire. Oh well... I will look again later.
Don't worry about trying to find out- there are far better ways for you to spend your time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. The 80's ^_^ They had great music back then.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, some of it was kinda cool.
Not sure how exciting or avant-garde it was really, though.
I like some of the music from the 90s- Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, Boards of Canada. SOme great stuff coming out. It's kinda funny, cos that was only a decade ago and I am already sorta reflecting on how great things USED to be and how crap they are now. I mean, I think proper Electronic music has had its hayday. Funny how people always moan that thinks used to be better though, eh? Not just old people that do it...

you're welcome my friend..
Fine,thank you very much..long hot summer..
How are you today..?

Yeah, not too bad. I got a nice level of drunkenness for the last few nights and, whilst there was a LOT of drama last night at a part at my house, it is mostly sorted now and everyone has dried their tears and are friends again, hehe.
I still haven't found a job yet, but I am going to town in a bit to collect these manga book from someone. I contacted them on this website called Freecycle, in which people give stuff they don't want away to other people. It's pretty cool. I might give one of the manga books to my friend who is quite ill atm. It might make her a little happier. A lot of people around me seem to be ill in some way atm. How is everything yor end? Everyone in the pink of health?
