I think I see what you are trying to do here Mindy' date=' by rewarding good boyfriend behavior and criticizing not so good boyfriend behavior you are trying to make a better world for girlfriends. Go ahead and deny it if you want, but I think I'm on to you.[/quote'] hahaha...I am not saying anything:D But nah....girlfriends can be the worst.

I honestly don't know why girls do that, the problem will not get fixed if you stay quiet. I always say loud and clear what's wrong. I hate when my friends get in fights with their bfs and say "he should know what he did wrong". He's not mind reader, and maybe the things that bother her are completely normal from his point of view. What you put for italian, "mai arrendersi", is more impersonal, if you want it to be more imperative, like (you)don't ever give it, it's "non arrenderti mai". it's ok even without "mai" which means "never", the message is the same.

I was close...ish. Maybe I'll have better luck learning the Black Speech of Mordor.
Or you could conjugate your French verbs :rolleyes: Imperative in French is the conjugation of the first person singular or second person plural without a subject. Singular when it's an informal command, plural when it's formal or against more than one person. As for every negation with ne... (ne pas/ne plus/ne jamais/ne rien/ne personne/...): ne preceeds the conjugated verb and the second part of the negation follows the conjugated verb. It's actually more complicated, but that will suffice for the first year or so.

Well' date=' it's finally happened; my computer is displaying AfroIntroductions.com. I suppose after more than three years on this forum it finally picked up on my regional academic focus.[/quote'] I'm sure they can help you with their commitment to connecting singles worldwide and their remarkable member base of over 2 million (and growing). Good luck! :D

THIS. Although, sometimes men may think a woman is a"bitch" because she speaks her mind and or has an opinion, so perhaps some women would rather not go through that. Also, coming from personal experience, if in the past I ask a BF what is wrong, orrr if I ask why they chose to do something and to please talk to me about it, their answer has been "I don't know.." which can be very annoying. But yeah that not telling what is wrong to each other on both ends is really truly stupid as hell, what is the point in being in a relationship if you can't discuss things? haha

one of the biggest factors in the end of my last relationship was my propensity towards speaking my mind and pulling no punches. Many women can dish out criticism at every turn but few can take it even in a constructive manner. best way to deal with that mystery bullshit is to just leave it at "its cool you dont have to tell me, just dont be surprised when this shit happens again". i dont think i'll ever get into a long term relationship again, not that I refuse to enter one but Im just not convinced the kind of chick that's right for me necessarily exists. Plus its just too much work. I got enough of that haha

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
