how to add a friend here

Benjamin Franklin once called the citizens of Massachusetts 'weak noodles'.

The US constitution is 246 years out of date, according to Thomas Jefferson, who wanted it rewritten from scratch every 19 years.

I learned to always keep a Nerf gun nearby; you never know when a giant, furry, brown spider could crawl across the wall right behind your monitor and scare the [bleep] out of you, and force you to stand on your bed with a Nerf machine gun and wait for the spider to show itself...

It's apparently possible to play a ruler as an instrument.

Oh, also, from the perspective of a person who plays piano, it's really hard to play in a quintet with strings because I'm not used to having other people play with me and it screws me up so badly everything I do sounds horrible.

I learned that my gf really wants to kiss... =D

I now learned I am a very lonely person...

I was rather shocked to find out that I can do a remarkable Grell Sutcliff impression. Still recovering from the shock of it...

I mean I would hope so what would be the point then

Edit: I learned how to ride a motorcycle.

I learned that the reason why my friend didn't return my calls or answered the door was because he was dead. :O
He was a very unhappy person, I tried to cheer him up many times but he lost interest in life a long time ago. He drank beer all evening long every night until he fell asleep drunk.

Not long ago his mom went in a nursing home because she's terminal.
He was by himself for about a month.
I don't know if he committed suicide or died of a natural cause because his family didn't give details.

That's very sad that someone would give up on life and not try to hang on by doing little things that can keep you happy somehow.

I'm sad and disturbed by this. I hate death! When you die, you're gone forever and it sucks for the ones you leave behind.

@SSTG

Even though I never knew him (your friend), I give my sincere condolences and best of wishes to you, your family, and your friend's family.

Ah, that...sucks. My condolences. (And sorry about unsatisfactory response, I'm not good with sympathy)

I learned that they redesigned Parasyte's main character for the anime, and it looks terrible.

I wasn't expecting someone to cheer me up so don't worry guys.
I was only venting about death and how much it sucks.
I don't think we can ever get used to it.

I learned that if I work on one track in Cubase for 7 straight hours, it can sound almost like real music.
