  1. Those are all completely fair points. What 'kind' of depression someone has is at least partly a factor of their past history. I refuse to believe that most depressed people are born with it, even if people can be born with a predisposition toward it. So I am thinking of depressed people who can 'function' (in the way that a 'functional alcoholic' can), but who simply stop trying and get comfortable with the idea that they are 'a depressed person,' as if that excuses them from their obligations to others as a parent, friend, husband, son, or whatever else.

  2. Sorry, it's been on my mind for personal reasons and I needed to vent! I acknowledge that depression is a legitimate mental challenge for many people. It's just hard when certain life-long depressed people let you down over and over again.

  3. [drunk[ My dad has depression. It's vanity. It's an unwillingness to take your own shortcomings, and the inevitable shortcomings and imperfections of life -- their failure to live up to the perfectionistic image of it in your head -- as the truth. It's an unwillingness to accept that you don't live a perfect life and that people are going to have problems with you, and to see this as okay. It's an 'if I am not 100% loved by everyone else, then I quit' mentality. It's a cop-out. It's selfish. It's pathetic. It's embarrassing. It's a cheap-shot at life. It's being scared to go out of your comfort zone and catch poison ivy on your dick cause you're a pussy. But it's both your fault and not your fault. Because you know it's your problem, but you also can't help it and you're just stuck with it and you're fucked. But you're also a fucking asshole because get over yourself. But it also sucks for you and it's a shame. It sucks for everyone.

  4. Tapr is great -- it has a regular rhythm, but not a 'beat' exactly. And the low synths that swell in and out in volume are just awesome. It's almost like someone fucking with one of those organs that you push air through with a pedal. The swell and surge of the beat did and will always make me think of rotting, floating wood shifting around on distant wave currents, near the shore of some seaweed-laden lake. It doesn't have a melody exactly (I mean, it does but), so you can't quite 'sing along' to it, and yet it paints such a vivid picture, I feel like I'm listening to a moving still life and can just smell the algae and resin. Plus, the little handclaps punctuating every bar are the best! :)

    (Don't know why this pic has it in a pilsner glass though)

     

    Edit: The Stone is one of the best Russian Imperial Stouts I've had. And Pumking tastes like delicious, drunk pumpkin bread all the way!!
