Herve's Bar & Grill

[edX]

hey, nobody's shucking my nuts. period. end of discussion.

Getting a compliment from Phil Ramone is something to carry with you. especially for emergency duty!! I always found that the biggest stars are the nicest people, and treat most people with common respect. It's the wannabe's and hasbeens (or rather almost beens) that act like their sh*t should be bottled and sold. I don't think i have any samples, but i will start going thru my collections looking for "klink"
as for Lou, you're probably right . he was probably dealing with how to be serious and so he wore that kinda of persona to protect himself. makes sense to me.

So chaka Khan tented the whole place

as for me, i want to go into clinical psychology working with the severely mentally ill. folks like yourself. (JUST KIDDING). people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (manic depressive), severe depression, post traumatic stress disorder, etc. they may be more difficult, but they are never boring. plus there just aren't enough people who really want to work with them and so often treatment is minimal. i wouldn't mind doing drug and alcohol treatment with rock stars either

ok, who wants eggrolls?

*Phil gets up off the stool awkardly, knocking it over. Raises his glass in his hand and says,"Play me a song, you're the piano man." (Sorry about that.) (Rewind.) Raises his glass in his hand asnd says,"I've taken a professional Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test! Aren't you excited?"

*Bottles are thrown. Herve exclaims,"Look! Why should i have a mac with glue when it can be made from horses on a graphics chip?"

*Phil hits herve in the head with a coconut. (Drained.)

Phil goes on with his story. *Unmuffled groaning from the assembly.

"I've been reclassified as an ENTP. You better appreciate me or I will criticize you, especially those of you who seem to be inefficient or incompetent."

*Admiral gets up off the floor. Rasies his hand. "Are you talking about me?"

Phil snaps,"Shut your beer hole. Go back to sleep."

*Admiral hits the deck.

*The BeeGees come on the juke. A man in white polyester comes dancing down an aisle. What once was a faded wood floor, is not a rainbow of lighted squares. We have been transported to Queens. Klink hoots with joy. His cab fare will be much cheaper now.

*Ed is in the corner playing cards, smoking a huge cigar. There are two girls on either side of him. He's talking about the rampant spread of wrongism in todays society. The girls seem very interested. Herve comes over, and discovers that one of the women is samantha fox. Herve hits the deck. Right next to admiral.

*The bartender is admin, or better know as "macd" to regulars of the bar. He pours with extreme ability, as though he has been doing this all his life. The bartender looks forward to bigger, brighter things. HE wants everyone in the bar to join him there. Everyone there likes macd, except Manic, who sits in the corner and tries to nurse his feet back to health. His effort is made in vain though, since windows help has told him to rub salt into the wounds. He shrieks in pain. A pint glass, directed by racer x, meets manic in the face.

Would anyone like to continue? Sorry for the harshness Admiral, but you know how it is....

[Klink]

Phil, can I call you that? That image was creamy. Very funny. I think I was able to get all the references. You have a good memory to, you remembered I lived in Queens. Ya bastard. wink wink nudge nudge

Ed that's been my experience with music stars as well, generally. There are always the exceptions. Perhaps not so exceptional. The types that play the people game very well. It's not easy to spot them but sometimes if emotions are pressed, true colors show and the facade is destroyed. Being able to observe an artist in one of their most vulnerable states, working on their music, lends to witnessing this. It's marvelous as an art form I think, the behavioral mechanisms, but when you know it's a facade, you realize it's pretty evil.
Jeez Ed, you don't fuck around. That's about as deep in the shit as you can go in psych. Clinical psychology working with the severely mentally ill. You'll have case studies that will fill volumes. If you love the workings of the mind, you should be in heaven. You can really stretch the bounds of psychical theories with those types of cases couldn't you. I can see you doing that gig naturally, especially the latter of the 2, D&A.
You didn't mention who was your fave. And I'll throw in a why to.


Your coconuts are safe in their palm tree Ed.

Quater goes in. Presses J34-Steve Miller.
"Girl I want your peaches let me shake your tree...."

i just got caught up in blabbing about other stuff. Besides i'm still watching my nuts pretty close. (not that close )

pretty hard to say. Carl Rogers, Jung and Stanislav Grof would be the three to come to mind most rapidly. not Timothy Leary as some might have suspected

*ed gets sidetracked singing "timothy leary's dead..."*

oh, wait, here's the eggrolls and the bass.

much easier to say which schools of theory i adhere to most closely. First and formost Humanistic/Existential psychology. Then Transpersonal Psychology. I am very well trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and find it a great tool when applied to any theory. I would never consider myself a Jungian, unless it was a strict choice between Freud and Jung, but i am very influenced by him and feel that manyof his ideas were the seeds of the first two schools i mentioned. Most importantly, Jung believed in "individuation" which basically means learning to feel ok with yourself without having to 'fit in'. Freud thought the only cure was to learn to 'fit in'. So i suppose Freud would use a pc and Jung a mac. Jung might like linux in principle but i think he would never have had the time to learn it. more on why after i unload the shipment of bass that just arrived. I think we are going to need lots of it.

phil - i am sure you are cut off now. you can't tell a cigar from a cigarette and yakking off about those two girls is rather rude. if my GF finds out i am dead meat
you also better be quick when Admiral and Herve get back up off the floor. and anymore violence from you and i WILL call the cyborgs to take you away. You may continue talking to Klink but only if you refrain from this derilect behavior. Hitting the bar owner is not good policy anywhere i have ever been.
other than that it was a nice little tale of debauchery

[Klink]

Well now I'm even more curious to know the why.
I didn't think it would be necessary to ask for schools of theory, your fave choices would have given me a good foundation to make an assumption. They seem to be in line with your response. I think you're absolutely correct in thinking Jung seeded those schools of thought. During that time Mysticism was the rage, if I remember correctly.
I detect a tinge of negativity when you mention Freud. Am I correct to assume this? And there must have been an event or perhaps a particular theory that evokes this negativity. Or maybe you don't care for bearded men with cigars. What could it be?
I'll tread lightly here as it's been years since I put on my psychology hat and I'm very rusty. I n the late '80's I became consumed with Freud's papers. To the point of acquiring most all translated by James Strachey and even Freud's letters to Jung and Fliess (I still haven't forgave Jung for bashing Freud after being such a close friend and digesting all his theories as a disciple does). It was an enlightening time for me. But years later I would come to find how learning such a discipline (the way I did, through self education and without real field practice) was very dangerous when used incorrectly. I think once I realized this, I put on the brakes for casual analysis. But like other sciences I still enjoy a good brain teasing theory.

Ok I still got a why coming.

I was bored... check it out!

[Matrix Agent]

Nice

Watch out though, Admin (the Bartender) problably wants that to be "Press3.com"

Pretty soon he'll be actually asking you to pay your tab.....

Better watch your step.

[BlingBling 3k12]
