    oh lord, you all have not had my bbq, it is the best, i cook the steaks perfect, done all the way through, but not too done, but not bloody either.

    it is so good.[/quote:5t2kl3zf]
    Pfjew, I was already feeling lonely here. I always order my steaks raw and bloody, I love it that way. It must be the Cro Magnon personality inside of me. :wink:

    And I’m sure I would love to attend a bbq at your place, bullet. No doubt. 8)

    Pffff… as if I have the perfect blueprint for love. Guess not. But I can share with you guys a few personal thoughts I have given it over the years. And spice it a little with some experiences.

    At the age of 14 I stepped into my first \"relationship\" with a girl 1 year younger as me. You might think I’m a bastard (which I am sometimes, I confess), but having her was a bet between me and a friend at that times, called Patrick. We bet who could steal her \"real\" kiss first… Anyway, I won and we stayed together for 9 months, then she lost interest in me. Still, my first love. Oh, I forgot to tell you I was madly in love with a girl in primary school, from when I was 7 years old till I was 12 years old. But she never saw me standing there, and she was only with the \"cool kids\" which I was not. :wink:

    I was with a few girls between age 15 and age 18, and they all broke up with me, I was too loyal to do that from my side. Then at age 19, after having had a troublesome relationship with a very depressed girl for about 8 months, I broke one up myself for the first time. Oh boy, what a relief that was! Somehow I became a little more mature I guess, because since then, never again a girl broke up with me, but instead, I broke up with them when time was right (at least for me).

    I’ve had 2 long term relationships (meaning: lasting over a year, both were almost 6 years) before and I think I was lucky enough afterwards not to have kids with them, so breaking up was a little more easy. It still takes lots of crying at night, folded around the pillow like a baby, though… Anyway, those experiences made me wonder: what’s it with me and the ladies? No problems getting them, make them laugh and fall in love with me, the hunt is so much fun! But then, I want to be loyal and true to this one and only, and I am till the end, but why do they loose interest in me? Why are they settling for less, while I want more, staying on life’s rollercoaster, travel, see things together, do things together, etc. etc.? I might be too adventurious for most, I don’t know. But also: I’m not able to give the other person that feeling of \"you are my better half, and I’m yours\". Because with me it doesn’t work like that. Since my parents divorced at my age 13, I’m independant, and I’m very happy being alone. Never had too many feelings of depression, I was most of the times able to work things out myself. I do need people for tons of reasons of course, and a girl for even more reasons, but I just didn’t know what a woman could really add to my personality. Maybe I’m arrogant, but I’m kinda happy with myself, my tastes for food, my enjoyments of music, and feeling at home at almost every place on earth, whether it be the in gutters of Bangladesh or in the castle of a sultan in India.

    Now, with my latest girlfriend which I know now for 3 years, I think I’m getting a little clue. I want to give her protection, make her feel comfortable so she can give me what I want now: children. My next phase at age 41. Raising kids. Makes me smile, thinking about it. So over the years I developed a little list of things that are important to me, in a relationship. First of all: openness and honesty, about EVERYTHING. I can’t do without 100% honesty! Soooo important! Wanna buy new clothes? Tell me, and here’s the money. Need a good conversation about something? Sit down, here I am. Wanna fuck another guy or girl? Tell me, I wanna know everything about you. Not saying I’m allowing it on the spot, but it’s discussable at least. Anyway, you get the picture. Second thingy: open for adventures in (almost) the same level as me, or in very different fields so I have something to look forward to also. Third thingy: be cuddly. Can’t live without it also. Fourth thingy: allow each other to have some freedom to do some own hobby, sports, friends etc. Do not try to change each other in that! It doesn’t work!

    Anyway, my 4 cents.

    "you know i’m not dead". i think it is funny, but i don’t think other people would.[/quote:32j0mcit]
    I definately would have a little smile on my face about that, while attending your funeral. I would think it’s extremely funny. :lol:

    And yeah, I have thought about an all SP ceremony also, but it wouldn’t do justice to my wider taste I guess.

    Not only kicks ass, it’s way more than that… Almost every Pumpkins song kicks ass, but Soma goes way deeper.

    The text says it all, the guitar goes so well with it, when it goes from a balad part to a rock part, it suits the song so well, it has a non-standard song length of over 6 minutes, and all this is just blablabla to explain something that I cannot explain. This song makes me cry almost every time I listen to it, really. Especially when Billy Corgan ends the song with that \"how now na na ooohh!\" part. Shivers! Soma is my private moment of melancholy, anger, love, sleep, philosophy, etc. As if it was my life itself or something. Everything and all that is there. Being all my own gods in one. The cold outside of me & the warmth inside me. Blablabla.

    So, when I want my friends and family to know what Smashing Pumpkins means to me, it’s Soma.

    On a sidenote, there are 2 songs that come really close to Soma, that’s Led Zeppelins’ \"No Quarter\" and a song I know since my youth from a Dutch band called Hallo Venray ( http://www.myspace.com/hallovenray ) – Tuck, The Man. This last song is my anthem for the girls (I’m gonna try to find a MP3 for you guys for that song, it’s awesome), No Quarter is about being alone and find your own way in life, and Soma puts everything together in 1 song. Those 3 songs are on the list to be played at my funeral, with Soma as the absolute #1.

    How… true. Sometimes you need to do this litteraly to feel it though. And repeat it, like a mantra. :D

    Since my asian girlfriend came to live in with me last weekend, we are eating asian food EVERY DAY. Rice with egg and ham and whatever, very spicy chicken curry, giant shrimps, vegetables like choy with fried garlic, well, name it and we got it… oh man, I’m so lucky! I love spicy asian food! :lol:

    On a sidenote, I’m very proud of my girlfriend so far. She gave up living in another country (Malaysia) and now she has to start all over again in The Netherlands. At times it was very emotional last week. But she is making friends quickly, today she is out on a girls-only day off to the market and the center of town with a Taiwanese girl called Hui-Ching, one of my colleagues. I just brought my girlfriend to her house. And on Sunday we are going to see one of my best friends that lives 200 km from here, but also in that city she has made friends already, so we pay them a little visit also.

    pmm told murder that thepumpkins.net was everything he wanted sp.com to be. and he said that while being on a pissy rant about the articals.

    they should just change it over to thepumpkins.net, then pmm could just partner up with murder. he does run a tight ship over there, just like you all do over here.[/quote:1cc8mkhd]
    What pissy rant about what articles? Was this posted by PMM on ThePumpkins.net maybe? Still not getting it completely, sorry… :oops:

    I’m not sure if Murder wants that, but I don’t know. I would want to stay independant, if I was ever asked.

    What do you think? :lol:

    But yeah, I have the same. I’ve gone through the stage of making friends here, and I don’t need to go through that again, I mean, why should I? I can be my humble, silly, arrogant and helpful self here, and that’s all I need for the moment.

    Don’t understand the "they told us themselves while being pissy on thepumpkins.net" part? Who was pissy, and who gave a compliment to who anyway?

    But yeah, don’t forget them of course. SP.com should give Murder 25,000 US$ and a few VIP-tickets to the Anniversary shows in November, and then integrate the whole bunch into SP.com. :wink:

    One upside is the Pumpkins themselves would possibly pop in and comment here and there (maybe).[/quote:2ueqjqtd]
    Yeah maybe. But what would such forum add to the already existing forums everywhere? There are boards everywhere, in Russian, Spanish, English, Polish, Italian, French, and possibly also other languages. There are country boards in Italy, Australia, UK, Poland, just to name a few. I think it would be way more cool if the band posts on those boards, and if it was to me, they can forget about the reincarnation of the O-Board. Instead, they better have a list with all the boards available, and give them some promotion.

    "The biggest of them all: Blamo."
    "You silly collectors: go to SPfreaks."
    "Can’t live without a daily Pumpkins’ nag? Netphoria."
    "etc."

    :lol:

    If you find all 4 of them, I’ll promise, you will be in my will. Second promise, I’ll drive blindfolded only from then on, and won’t look anymore when crossing streets. Third promise, I’ll only fly the military Tblisi Airlines in Russian area, and I’ll tattoo \"Al Qaeda or the highway!\" just above my eyes.

    You can wait for the moment when they rumour somewhere that Courtney’s baby was not Kurt’s, but Billy’s. Mark my words. It’s even already said somewhere probably. With \"evidence\", uhu, yeah sure.
