Also note.... That just because I haven't found anyone in four years, doesn't mean they aren't out there. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places. Maybe I made all the wrong type of friends. If I had been posting on a forum with guys who enjoy the softer side of rock instead of posting on an ad posting site, I might have found something.

This is a GAY man's site. Odds are you ain't gon -na find your musician here. I don't even think there is anyone else from Baton Rouge posting here. There was an OLD guys lawyer with children, but he is long gone.

An OLD guy's lawyer.... I was looking for a guy who was in his 20s!

I know. I was suggesting that he would NOT have been a match OR be able to recommend anywhere for you. Plus he was from New Orleans, not Baton Rouge. "pop-rock' Still full body shudder! ICK SHUDDER!

Baton Rougue Well I'm not from Baton Rougue, but I'm from New Orleans if thats any concoliation.

Because I am just trying to inject some compassion. You need to accept the truth. Like they say : the truth will set you free . . . You feel trapped here. I am hoping that telling you the truth will give you an opportunity to really pursue your goal elsewhere and stop wasting your time being stuck here, where they ALL hate your stupid crappy music choices. How can you meet your true friend if you just keep spinning you wheels wasting time here, among people who hate you and your crappy music. This is Baton Rough Rocks all over again ugh major shudder at that crappy music you like

That is NOT the truth! You need to learn the difference between stating the truth, and stating your opinion. Second, you need to learn that maybe if I had more options during the time when I first started looking for musicians, as opposed to the two crappy message boards I was on, which had people on them who were into heavy metal, hard rock, and classic rock, I might've found something.

You are using that as an EXCUSE to take full responsibility for improving your life. You keep saying that you are stuck here. This is the sentiment of a CHILD, which you are, I guess. You will never be a man, always a child. Your nephew is smarter than you.

Look, I am lost.... Where do I go from ? I need some new recoomendations. Please, help me find something else.

And the PATHETIC excuses continues . . . Cliffy, the little BOY will never grow up to be a man.

Part of being an adult.... Is helping someone who doesn't know where to go. I am tired of being alone in this search. I need to connect with people around my age.

I would like to pursue it elsewhere.... But there aren't any local websites I can post on. I need a website where I can start fresh, and talk with some differenet people. I can accept that there isn't anyone HERE who lieks it.

You owe it to yourself to at least check these folks out. They have a young adult group that does many different kind of activities. You may not find exactly what you are looking for here, but you might meet someone who knows someone who is the guy you are looking for. If you don't get out in the world, you are not going to find what you are looking for. Take a chance, Cliff. If you don't like it, don't go back, but if you don't give it a shot, you'll never know.

I don't know what that church is about.... I don't want to go to a church that's based on a religion that I'm unfamilar with. And the last time I tried two churches, it ended up being TOO strict about what music was allowed and what wasn't. In my case, churches of ANY kind are out due to the fact that most of the music is secular pop and rock, and a lot of the artists are controversial.
