I’ve been thinking that I listen to too much metal, and I would like some variety. What are some good, not too hard rock songs from popular bands?
Examples of what I like:
Seize The Day, Gunslinger, Dear God by A7X.
Live Forever and Wonderwall by Oasis.
Hysteria by Muse.
Any calm or not metal songs with good lyrics would be much appreciated.
How would we start our little town out? I think that at least 200 acres would be enough, for starting, what do you think land wise? Where would this place be ideal?
I am so sick of modern society. We are quickly getting owned by all our own vices, gas for vehicles, electricity,heating bills, phone bills,grochery bills, rent,blah,blah,blah, the list goes on and on.
I wouldn’t push religion in my town like a cult or Amish community, although I would prefer people of good character and the skills to build this small Oasis.It would be more or less a farming type of life, based on the ideal that life can be enjoyable and everyone can pull together to help one another out with the daily aspects of township. I think that there would have to be a popualtion cap at start, what would it be? Well these are just a few of my ideas. I think that there are other people like me that feel the same but, its hard to take the leep. Oh would there be a price of addmission? Please respond!
