I have a question in all seriousness, were u as negative about the future of ur band and music as u are on here or is that just a Vol thing?
I'm not being a smartazz here I'm really curious. I truly hope it's just a schtick for Vol Nation..

Sure! I have struggled with chronic depression and and anxiety since middle school. Lexapro has helped me tons, but generally I'm a pessimist (shocking right). I have pretty much always been a loner and found it hard to envision a happy future for myself. Obviously that's not to say I haven't had some really great fun! In real life I try to fake a smile and go on with my life as best I can.

Well dang, Catbone, as someone who has depression and anxiety as well, I sympathize with this.

Sorry for the crap I've given you before. I understand it completely.

It's ok because our staff is evaluating these under the radar recruits. Finding the diamonds in the rough.

I think fans need to take recruiting in context, we’ve sucked for over a decade now. There is no quick fix, it will require year after year improvements on the field and in the weight room. This will bring the top recruits. Butch was a used car salesman and his wall of bricks was built on a quicksand foundation. There were flashes last year of what Pruitt can build here, Auburn and Kentucky but ultimately the end of the season was a bust.

I have dealt with panic attacks for much of my life. 25mg of full spectrum CBD has completely stopped that.

NBA players are turning into a bunch of overpaid drama queens. Bunch of whiny me, me, me bitches

There are plenty of straight-laced no-nonsense players, and the squeakiest wheel always gets the grease. But generally speaking, that's why I don't enjoy the NBA as a whole.

I love the Grizz, and I can talk about the Grizz til I'm blue in the face, but I pretty much hate the rest of the league. The players, the front offices, and how they're all covered on ESPN, TNT, and the Twitterverse is worse than a middle school rumor mill. How they allow Drake and Stephen A Smith to jump on to the court, just give me a damn break.

They worship Russell Westbrook's triple doubles, but never acknowledge that the Thunder has a losing record whenever RW pads the stats like that. It's all fluff and BS hero/celeb worship.

To a point, it's kind of always been that way, as basketball is a much more visible sport-- only ten players on the court, no hats or helmets hiding anyone's face.. But now everything is about Lebron's shorts-suit, Harden's Adidas' contract, the joint State Farm commercials. It just grates on someone who wants actual basketball without 60% of the in-game commentary being about superstars who aren't even on the teams playing in front of the announcers.

I sort of like Angel Armies by Chris and Alive by Hillsong Young and Free but my all time favorite in the contemporary genre is probably Angels watching over me by Amy Grant. I still get an adrenaline rush when "the chains that bound the man of God just opened up and fell and running to his people before the break of day...."

Of course my all time favorite song period is Händel's Messiah - Hallelujah but since that was composed in 1741 I'm unsure if it qualifies as contemporary.

Two of my all time favorite songs!... And "Angel Armies" is special to me because my son was being sent on a mission in the Army, and he "accidentally" turned the radio on while pulling onto the interstate. The song was on and gave him peace.

So many mistakes and missed opportunities. Gave away 3 goals and completely whiffed on at least 3 goals. Had what, 12 corners. Sheesh. Luckily there's a lot of camp left to work out the kinks and work our 2 best players into the lineup.
