--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 08 Aug 2011, 20:51 ----I figured getting with Faye was a real-life goal, and that was guarded flirting and then bitter resentment. We've seen him motivated but we've never seen him give 100% effort. I'm not sure we ever will.
-I think he should shoot for a low risk, achievable career goal. However, it has not been said that Marten is trying to make a career out of this, he might just want another hobby. Which is fine, for now anyway.
-When he fails, and he will unless multiple characters pull 180's, then he'll be back in the coffee shop that much older having accomplished nothing. I wonder when characters like Faye and Dora are married off and Marten is still that guy trying to keep the band alive and working at the library. I don't care if he has a hobby, but I want him to grow up a little as far as his future's concerned. Yes, Jeph is not going to let Marten fail at life, but if Marten was a real-life person his most likely outcome would be failing at life if he continues down this path. If you had Marten as a real-life friend, you wouldn't be the least bit worried about his future?

He's not going to "fail at life" if he shoots for something he wants and doesn't make it. :psyduck:
You think he should shoot for a low risk, achievable career goal? You're entitled to your opinion, of course. Personally, I think he should shoot for something that he wants, rather than for something he's not as interested in but more likely to succeed in.
If he fails, then at least he'll know it isn't to be, and he can try something else. If he never tries, then he'll spend the rest of his life wondering "what if?"
If I were his real life friend, I'd be way more worried if he wasn't pursuing the thing he wants, because he's scared he'll fail. I certainly wouldn't be worrying "BUT WHAT IF HE FAILS?"

Hey, when did Marten get an SG?
He was playing a tele before

Way back when. Poor Marten, he is a tertiary-educated music nerd, and his band-mates... aren't.
kventin:
re ethnographers' tale: i heard a similar one.
a tribal chief was visiting England. so they took him to a football match (soccer, in former colonies). afterwards he was VERY excited and was telling how much he had been enjoying it.
when he returned home, he told his people they must start this football thing: "it went like this: two tribes and three shamans ran onto a field. chieftains of the tribes came with the head shaman into the centre. the shaman produced a coin. one chieftain pointed at the coin. the shaman tossed the coin into the air, caught it, showed it to the chieftains, AND THEN IT STARTED TO RAIN!"
(i don't really believe it. still it's kind of funny)

Grateful Dead, St. Stephen, from Skeletons in the Closet.
At least, it always sounded that way to me!

Heee, thatīs just Jerry playing guitar :-)
Still a brilliant song!
"What would be the answer to the answer then?"
Huh? I don't get it but it sounds great ^-^
