One thing that made me smile was the fact that the first confession date is 7th april, and the title is \"the year is 1986\"
That is my birthdate
I believe in God. My mother is very religious and i had a christian education.
I’m not a \"religious\" person, if we are talking about going to church and participate on those \"rituals\" related with religion. I had that experiences in my life, they were very important to me at that time, but i don’t find them important to me in this time of my life.
But i strongly desagree when Super says
and i completely agree about what religion is. it’s a comfort blanket for the ignorant who are afraid to accept that they are completely ignorant. But we are all completely ignorant, just some are slightly less ignorant than other
Of course that we are talking about masses, and there are exceptions, but i don’t think that religious people are afraid to accept ignorance. We are all ingnorant, being religious or not. Many of the religious people that i know are very counscious about that ignorance and believing in God, is not a way to feel less or more ignorant than those who don’t believe.
I just respect both who believe and don’t believe, but i do not understand why both sides tend to criticize the other.
Being religious, to me, is not negative, if you use your own brain to question things, and not acept by truth what other tell you. If it helps you in your life, If it makes you feel good about yourself, why not being religious?For me it is a very simple thing. Those who believe can be happy with that, and those who don’t believe are happy without it, and that’s it. But no one is more clarified than the other, or less ignorant, or whatever, for being (or not) religious.
Working in health give a lot of experiences with people, and i can tell you that, most of the times, when people get very sick, those who claimed to be agnostic start to feel different about faith and god, and sometimes at the end they say that they believe in god now, or even became religious people. Just like the oposite it is true also.
(A little break for recieving the man that came here to fix my modem, broke up my thought… so, i’m not inspired anymore! i guess i will post again if someone replies my comment
)I have Arachnophobia, for sure !
Doesn’t matter the size, my reaction is always the same ! \"AHHHHHHHH\"
it came from the secret confessions of billy corgan. here: http://web.archive.org/web/200510270024 … ion13.html[/quote:1xfif47t]
we posted at the same time
There are a LOT of texts of billy, with the tag \"confessions\" in his livejournal acount. this is just one of them. He tells storys about the band, about his marriage, about his childhood, his family, etc…
and playing nurses and doctors? *flashback to Billy Corgans online diary thing*
that story is just hilarious
Well, i think it is a good thing to discuss our feelings towards the band, because the true fan is not the one that agrees with everything.
I agree with Arthur. It’s not my case, but reading a lot of older fan’s experiences, i realized that their experiences were not the same (of course). And it is my case with other bands, that i have been following a long time ago. Last weekend i went to a concert of a portuguese band that i really like, and the concert was amazing, but it was not the same feeling that i’ve felt years ago. The band is more mature, i’m more mature, things change. I was surrounded by people with 13-16 years old, that were having a great time, just like me at that age. And the highlights of the show (for me) were all the old songs, that are rarely played.
So you guys, must feel like i felt last weekend.
I started listen to the pumpkins when i was 13, i think, and i never had the chance to see them live, because my mother won’t allow me to, at that age.
This year was the first time that i saw them live. i was so excited and with very high expectations. At the end i can say that i loved every minute of it. I would change just one thing if i could. I would change gossamer. The concert was very short, and that song (amazing one i must tell), is very long. I think it would be an awesome choice in a longer concert. The \"less good\" aspect of the concert was the fact that billy didn’t said almost anything to the crowd, besides \"thank you\". No conversation at all ! Nothing!
But the feeling and energy in the concert blow me away. There were several moments were my eyes were full of tears. Just closed my eyes, and everything sounded so perfect…
But yes, i’m councious that in part, these feelings are a consequence to a new and very expected thing. But they sounded amazing and the concert was awesome.
It would be terrific if i could turn back time i saw a concert in the very beggining… that would be awesome
I saw the concert, but not totaly unfortunatly.
My pc was in trouble… I know it got anxious everytime that i demand a SP video, but this time was insane… When i could hear the music, i didn’t wath the video, or if i wacth it, it was in a slow motion kind of video…
LOVE the first one, i have a similar one i think, but not with that quality.
His hair looks like mine, a few years ago… The third one is completly amazing
I just got back home, and i’m so relieved.
I have assisted some angiography’s in my probation (?) as Radiology Technologist, and i can tell you that this procedure has a diagnosis part, (when we find out the problem/disease) and a therapeutic part, where the doctor can fix the problem (if it can be fixed by angiography and doesn’t need surgery). And the problem that is has refered to is a very common one.
To be honest, news like this scares the shit out of me. Since the cancel/postpone announcement I have been doing F5 on the SP site for hours already. And "chest discomfort" doesn’t make me happy either. I’m not in a fun mood about this at all.
Fingers crossed…[/quote:35xkke1b]
i feel exactly the same way, and it’s 1:04 pm here, i’m flying to paris tomorrow morning, i’ll have to get up at 5:50am. i would not be able to check for updates, and i’m really worried about him. hope that he is ok.
"chest disconfort" is to vague. i’m a radiology tech so "chest disconfort" is very usual in emergency radiology. and it can be caused by a several things; it can be nothing, but it also can be everything.
as you said, fingers crossed*
(see you on monday)
done !
of course that my answers were not very different from yours (Arthur) but it keept saying \"0 others agree with your choice so far\"… (even when i wrote exactly the same)
why don’t you try \"michelle\" ? (also from anouk) or \"love to love\" (billy with linda strawberry) ?
some of sunk anansie or skin would be great too, but her voice his very different. it would be a challenge
Yeah, if I was married to him I’d be off the Internet and also quit trying to telepathically communicate with him. I’d want it to be far more up close and personal. .
I was wondering if what you saw on their official website was a shout out to someone named "Ve". If so, I thought that might be for her, too, but it turns out Ve is a friend of theirs and she is the lady at the end of the video for "That’s The Way (My Love Is)", but it is not Veronica.

no!
the nickname is sistercantyouspell and actually, after checking it, i saw that is really her, because she already got an avatar with her name and the link to her livejournal (the one that i refered). she also had a portuguese fan on her friends list and a comment on her that is another lie. i will explain.she talks about her and billy being in portugal for some days (the concert at Oeiras Alive festival was at 9th june), and she says that in that particular night it was St. Anthony’s Feast Day (actually the day is 13th but we celebrate in the night of 12th of course
). If you check the tour dates, SP were preforming in Madrid that night……. thank you for sharing your story luxe, it was nice to read that
I wouldn’t say this, because i agree that all that she wants is attention, but since someone started hehehe
besides all the sites that you have refered she has one acount on livejournal, and recently i saw a comment on sp official site with a nickname that was very sugestive that it was her too, i just can’t remember now.
she’s trying to get our attention everywhere.
she even posted comments on a youtube video of the lisbon concert (she says she was there).one thing i can tell you, if she was married to him, she wouldn’t have time to be on the internet all the time to create this nonsense webpages. (hum… if i was married to him i woudn’t spend my time on the internet
)Love the pics.
Love the blue outfit of Billy (and Ginger’s one is really nice too
)Thanks for sharing
