Are coasters really your life?

Holy crap! Some of you guys are taking what I said WAAAAAY too seriously. Lighten up!

Haven't you ever said to someone, "man your sad". It was just a joking type statement.

I mean I really love coasters too. When it come to my hobbies, it's a 3 way tie between sports, my pets, and coasters. Geeze, everyone relax!

So many coasters, so little vacation time....

Agreeing with Rollerfreak, again, I defer you to page 1 and my comments there...

Rock and roll is here to stay ~ it's just not supposed to be safe

Thanks, nasai. Man, some of you guys wouldn't last a day where I work. We ride each others arse ALL DAY LONG! And we don't mean a word of it! Life is too short to be so serious.

Roller coasters are a big part of my life, but not too major. I mean, they still are major, but it's not like I'm addicted to them or anything. I still go on roller coaster websites almost every night, and try to get to the park as much as possible, but I'm also big on music, sports, family, and friends too. They're definitely my favorte hobby, though.

Rollerfreak, I think part of the problem is the age differences. I remember being a teen and thinking everything I said, and everything anyone said to me, very seriously. Mostly because I wanted to be taked seriously as a teen myself.

Enjoy the coasters people! Enjoy your life! Enjoy all! Love each other! Love your pets! ROCK AND ROLL!!!!

I rule! ~ tripowered for maximum results

I have to agree with Pantera! I know a guy who sleeps in his car 6 months out of the year to travel around the country riding coasters. Coasters clearly ARE his life, and I'd dare anyone to call his life sad, he is having the time of his life.

Not everyone needs the same things out of life, so remember when you start acting like you have it all together that not everyone wants YOUR life either. ;)

I wouldn't want anyone to have my life. In fact, I beg my kids to not even consider for a second the life of a musician. It is pure torture. How I would love to spend 6 months a year riding coasters. It isn't typical, though.

RollerFreak, that's the problem with posting on boards like these...you can't type inflection or tone. You actually have to write [sarcasm] or something like that as to not be misinterpreted. My friends and I rip on each other all the time, but it's hard sometimes to tell whether the person posting is being serious or not.

Snoopy Rocks! On Ice opens on June 22nd

Think they'll let me drive the Zamboni machine?

Good point, CPgenius. It is hard to *imply* humor on a keyboard. I'll try not to offend anyone in the future. Sorry to anyone who thought I was actually putting you down.

It's like HomeyG (I think) said, coasters aren't "my life". I have many other things that *must* come first. (God, wife, family, job, mortgage, ect.) On the other hand if they are yours, more power to you.

Sounds like you're in denial (hehe)

Maybe we should all go to "Roller Coasters Anonumis" "Hello, my name is Travis and I am a Coaster-holic." (lol)

...and here I am, posting "me too" like some brain-dead AOLer....stealing a sig has GOT to be among the highest forms of flattery, no...but then again, it was heisted, too....does "original thought" really exist - I kinda think not....;). I'd quote Marley or Jesus or Ghandi or the Dalai Lama here, but it'd only be redundant.....moderation in all things, including excess...;)....Have a Great Day!

I always tell kids, when they ask me about being a musician or being a music major in college, that unless you absolutely MUST do it, you shouldn't. The life is not one that I recommend. I was on the road for three years, and while I loved the memories, I wouldn't do it now.

Mark, it is indeed difficult. The main problem I face is the fact that most people believe that being a musician is just so much fun that it couldn't possibly be difficult or work-like. Of course, the opposite is true. The hardest thing for me is the fact that I can't just give it up, no matter how hard it is on my marriage or family. When God programs you to be a musician, you are so screwed!;)

Maybe we should get together a Coasterbuzz band...but i guess this is off topic :)

Mark - What band did you tour with? I'd imagine that it's ska. Just curious, as our paths may have crossed if you played in Chicago.

I don't think I ever worked with nasai.

Someday there will be something here.

I'm already in one band, but I'd be willing to do a more serious project.
