The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

No motivation to though. I'm fine how I am; I don't see a point.

So true, I really wish he had recorded more.

I think it's silly to judge something before researching and trying it.  Well, to an extent of course, something habit forming, dangerous, and expensive like cocaine I would never try (but I researched it).  Alcohol can be good in certain situations, same with marijuana, but moderation and self-awareness is the key.  Drinking wine or beer and smoking marijuana on occasion might even be beneficial for one's self - psychologically or physically.

I don't consider myself rebellious.  I just prefer my own personal moral code to the enforced one.  I have never had trouble with cops or anything, since I play it smart.  Breaking traffic laws is pretty stupid, as there is no reason to do it (besides impatience), and it can be hazardous - plus I prefer driving carefully and listening to music if I can.

I'm not tired enough to sleep though... Put on some TD or something to drift you off to sleep. Actually, how about some Camel?  TD might work. Camel will just piss me off. Big influence on Akerfeldt.  Don't be so dismissive!

I have nearly all of Camel's albums (though I didn't buy all of them, obviously, since they're not one of my favorites at all), so I've at least heard them enough.

Snow Goose I don't like at all, really, though I may give a few of their other albums some spins soon. I don't hate them or anything, they're just kinda like VDGG to me. I'm largely indifferent.

Unless I see direct motivation to do something under my values and rationality, then I won't do it.

I'm fine how I am; I don't see a point. You don't need motivation to inhale some smoke. Plus the point will come to you when you feel high.  You'll be philosophising about the usefulness of a toothpick all night. It's brilliant.

I philosophize enough for my own liking.

VdGG.

You just love to rub it in, don't you?

Wait until you're legally able to drink, than try to appreciate a taste for wine.

The motivation is purely aesthetic, it can enhance a meal greatly.  Though I suppose you have to have an epicurean aspect to your personality to bother with this.

Oh, no, I hadn't intended it that way. It's just the only other main artist I feel that way about in my collection.
