Ask Joe Column #9

You couldn't joke around with me, even for a moment? In the moment I needed to be free of 'reality', just for a split minute, the moment I needed most.

Exam pressure.

"fine. go clean a toilet, then."

Hahahaah, best comeback ever.

I'll muster up a question;
Do you ever plan to move anywhere different from where you grew up? Even if just for a short time, for work or studys, etc.

ASPHYXIATED: I infact do plan on moving somewhere different from where I grew up. Where that is, I'm not really sure, but I'd like to move somewhere warm. I love the warm weather, the beach ahhh I love the beach. I don't know, my parents have been talking about selling the house and moving to New Jersey over by my grandparents. So, I don't know, I may end-up moving to NJ as well, or I may stay here with a few friends, I'm not really sure yet.

But I do know that someday, I would like to move. If work intitles a move, then so be it. If I am studying something and think a move is in store, then off I am...

How do you know how many people have added you to there favs on this site?

Deathsdarkness: You don't. But one way to estimate how many is based on the award you have...

Thanks for that Joe and Krista, muchly appreciated :)

Oooo I have another! :D

Why does everyone get so hyped up about prom, ball, homecoming or whatever it's called in the states? I've been excited about prom all year, then I went to mine last night, and all it amounted to was a headache and very sore feet from too many dancey tunes haha. So I want to know why people get so hyped in the first place (however I very much enjoyed the dressing up :D)

It's a bit of a random question but I'm not in a... questioning mood hahaa :)

XToBeWithYoux: Well, lets put it this way, why were you excited for Prom? I mean obviously there are excitement factors present to during and before Prom, homecoming or whatever you may be attending. It is nothing more than a social gathering, but then again, why are parties fun/exciting? After all they are just social gatherings as well. Well, you get to get together with your friends, have fun, dance, some people rent limos, get dressed up, etc. It's something that a majority of people look forward to enjoying.

True, I suppose. Looking back it wasn't too bad I suppose :)

Hmmm. Joe, do you like Muse? Tee-hee :D

XToBeWithYoux: Yes, I like almost all music except for Rap, it depends on the artist and lyrics and so on.

Do you like metal?

im talking about the music not the materal =]

and if you do what bands do you like?

Woot. Thanks Joe :D teehee.

Deathsdarkness: Yes, but not all...again depends on the song and lyrics more than anything for me. Here are a few artists, I like some of their songs, 1 of their songs, or all of their songs. Again purely depends on the song and lyrics for me.

AC/DC
Aerosmith
Alice Cooper
Black Sabbath
Cream
Deep Purple
Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
Queen
Van Halen
Metallica
Anthrax
Method of Destruction
Deadfall
Cerebral Fix
Seventh Angel
Extrema
Anvil

Joe, have you heard AC/DCs new album? It's awesome :D

XToBeWithYoux: Nope, can't say I've had the time to sit and take a listen to their new album yet. I'm pretty behind with artists new albums, I need to stay on track lol

How can you get assitaints to start your club if your club if it does not come up on the club list?

Deathsdarkness: The club will not be in the list of clubs untill you have 2 assistants that apply for your club. There will be a little paragraph above the list of clubs, and there will be a link that says 'Apply to be an assistant' or something like that, that is where you're club will be listed untill you get 2 assistants to start the club.

I have a question Joee :)

What's the difference between the forums we have at the moment and the 'old chat rooms' people sometimes talk about. I think I joined after they were closed or something, but I don't actually know what they were lol. Was it like IM?

A Porcelain Heart: Thank you Porcy :]

xToBeWithYoux: The chat, is different from the forums. It is just as it states, it is a Chat, much like IM-ing eg. msn, yahoo, AIM, etc.

Anyone else have any questions?

Whats the stupidest thing you have ever done?

Deathsdarkness: Hrmmm, probally jumping into the bed of a moving truck that was going aprox. 15/20 mph.

You got any tattoos?

Deathsdarkness: Perhaps...

Where are they? ;)

hahah--
but reaallly.
Whos your favourite author?
Novel wise.

ASPHYXIATED: No comment to your first question...lol

mmm and I'm not really sure, I don't read a whole lot.

You have me slightly intrigued now..
Skeletons in the closet? ;D

ASPHYXIATED: Wouldn't you like to know...lmao xD

Quit being mysterious--
I won't be able to think now tryna work it out. :P

I bet it's on his tushy. :P

I have a question though. My boyfriend likes to call me really late at night when we're both kind of tired from the day and cranky. So we talk for about thirty minutes and we're off to bed. He doesn't have a problem with this but I do. It's kind of like if we were married and he worked really late at night and when he came home we talked for a few minutes before bed. Can you kind of see why it would bother me? He said that he doesn't like calling in the middle of the day because he has nothing to talk about.

So, FINALLY, my question is do you have any tips for us to help our conversations?

Forevertobeart: Have you told him how you've felt? I would think that would be the first step in making this work for both of you. Communication is important in an realationship.

Perhaps try calling him earlier, why wait for him to call all the time? Why not give him a surprise in his day, guys like that, at least I know I do. It'll let him know you care and are thinking about him and will most likely cheer up his day.

What about mornings? Ever try calling in the morning before he goes to work? Or what about calling during lunch time? I know you said 'during the day he doesn't have much to talk about' but, I'm sure you can think of something to talk about.

After all, if you can't communicate with eachother, I don't really think he/you are the one for eachother, to blantly put it. But that is just my opinion, and that's all it is and nothing more, so please I hope I didn't offend you for saying that, but it's just my thoughts.

Best of luck!

I did let him know how I felt and in fact said the same thing as you did about communication being important. You're right, though. I should call him more often and surprise him. As for your last statement, no you didn't offend me. We've been dating for about two years now, and I guess after so long its hard to find things to talk about, because we never used go have this problem. But thanks for your suggestions. :)

Forevertobeart: You are welcome, and the best of luck to you.

Anyone else have any questions?

Yes, what the heck are you fixing...Lol and I really think you should move to Wildwood! Then I'll sing" under the boardwalk " to you!

Deana: haha, you pretty much name it and it is in the works of being worked on via myself however like most things on this site, we have to wait for Janis...

Move to Wildwood? hahha, that would be awesome, I love wildwood, but I haven't been there in a few years :[ However I've actually been considering moving to NJ. ;]

Joeeee. ):

My oldest brother broke up with his girlfriend there the other day, he didn't tell anyone but my mum and she was supposed to tell us but I wasn't home/she was in work for the last few days.
ANYWAY I'm talking to her on facebook cos she messaged me beforehand and I don't know what to say. ): I am good friends with her, but I don't want to say the usual breakup stuff because well..its my brother. They broke up over distance/cost of seeing each other so there is a chance they could get back together..
Ahhh I don't know what to say to herrr helppp.

ASPHYXIATED: Say something along these lines...

Love either grows or it dies. Love doesn't ask why. Love doesn't think twice. Love has no limits. Love has no pride. Love can do the impossible. Love knows no boundaries. Love is unpredictable. Love will light the way. Love is where you find it. Love is what you make it. Love can work miracles. Love can move mountains. Love can build a bridge. Love is an endless road.

But When loosing that special someone, there comes a strong feeling, that part of our emotional world has changed forever and can never be retrieved or made good, Well your wrong...

Loss is central to our lives. We cannot avoid it. And besides, It is often through brokenness and loss that we truly grow into our humanity and develop the compassion that connects us to others.

Open your eyes, wish upon that flashing star, dream a dream written with emotions, like love should always be. No matter what people may always say, spread your wings and fly those skies that embrace your thoughts and let them just fly away. Picture those radiant smiles, that illuminate the sky, picture those memories you continue to embrace and take it day by day. Ask yourselfs was it worth it, did you both do what your hearts truely want?

Whats your fav song?

Deathsdarkness: I have a lot of 'favorite' songs, but there are two that really stick out to me the most, both for different reasons. Oh, and by the way, they are both Italian Songs...

I Belong To you (Il Ritmo Della Passione)
By: Eros Ramazzotti (Duet with Anastacia)

and

Ti Amo
By: Umberto Tozzi
