Halifax: Black guys,should we start going back to more traditional genres of music?
It seems as if everybody wants to be a hiphoper now or something,shouldnt we start going back to more traditional black american genres like jazz,blues,funk rock ?I mean,whatever happened to learning how to play a certain instrument?
Dont get me wrong,i love hiphop(nas,talib,common,lupe fiasco,kanye west,a tribe called quest,etc etc,but too much of it sucks now days.Too much garbage.
The older jazz/blues/classic rock generation of ours is dying off and leaving all of the quality music behind them.It is important that we continue the tradition because i personally feel that its more culture than this new hiphop crap thats out today.We must do a better job at preserving our cultu...

Halifax: What is my problem? I think it's perfectionism to an extreme?
My entire life I've had a gift to do anything I set my mind to, but the only problem is being able to put forth all my effort for an infinite amount of time to satisfy my desire to keep going. If I can't go through with all my effort, the task is not worth doing. After realizing I can't spend all the time I want on it, this usually ends up in me quitting and looking for something else. I have been doing this my whole life and have ended up nowhere, but wanting to be somewhere so desperately.
Here are a few examples: when learning boxing/martial arts, I never want to stop. It's either I do it all day every day or I can't do it at all, because the anticipation ...

Halifax: Going back to college after failing out?
Hi.
I went through high school studying Japanese, playing first chair violin, taking all honors classes, got a 3.6, and got a 1400/1600 on the SATs.
Then I went half way across the country to a university i was barely familiar with (my parents both went there and had always said they wanted a kid to go there, im the youngest and none of my siblings went there so it was sorta up to me). I HATED it. I started off alright, I started to make some friends and joined some groups etc. My best friend died in a car crash back home and I couldn't even make it to the funeral because i was so far away. I got so depressed. I had no friends, didn't do clubs, didn't go to class...

Halifax: I can't seem to stand up to my spoiled, rude, mean roommate... help?
I'm in college, and live in an apartment that does individual leases and roommate matching. Well they didn't match me well. My roommate is a spoiled little girl who is 21, never had a job in her life, drives an Infinity G35 that daddy paid cash for, ect, ect.
She's SO mean to me.
She has a dog but won't let me get one. She claims to be allergic to LONG dog hair (her dog is a Chihuahua).
She constantly texted me cussing me out to the point that I blocked her number.
And what really set me off is the day after her 21st birthday I woke up and tripped over a bag of trash in my doorway. She told me later that she had a problem with me not taking it out as much as her.

So, I'm a Junior in High School and I need help, please just straight talk with me. I'm one of the more bright, more mechanically inclined students in my school. Anywho, I would like to go to my community college to knock out my core basics, then transfer to Auburn to major in Mechanical Engineering. NOW, my mom says, You can choose pretty much ANY job with that degree! . But what I can't seem to figure out is, how can all of that math you learn in say... Calc. 4(I think is one of the required classes) can be applied to real world work? Can anybody with this degree specify what their occupation is and what your duties are in your work?...

Halifax: How could LA church who has sheltered immigrants for 20 years go on without being raided ?
LOS ANGELES—Like a shepherd waiting for his sheep to fall asleep, the big wooden Christ hangs on the wall as dozens of illegal immigrants get into their sleeping bags.
It has been another uncertain day for them, but they know they can sleep safely and thank God they have a roof to protect them for another night.
These temporary beds fill the church and hallways of the Dolores Mission Church, which on Dec. 12 will commemorate 20 years of opening its doors to immigrants and homeless men as a shelter.
They are Christ. We recognize ourselves in them. They enrich the community with their lives, said Scott Santarosa, the Jesuit priest at the church. Some people have a...
