	Humberto Barros	It is so much a truth that proves how We- the human beings- have exactly the same feelings about almost everything. Makes me think, It should be so easy to spread understanding and joy around, in theory. I'd like to know why we just can´t do that, can´t simply live in a peacefull place for a change. Just wondering Greate words Mike, thank you for sharing. Humberto.   Posted by Humberto Barros on Monday, March 31, 2008 - 2:50 AM [Reply to this]

	Andre Sachs Andre Sachs	Well, i feel like that too...sometimes when i am not working or playing... maybe it´s too much wasted potential that makes us fell like that... and i would also guess it´s directly related to some sort of aftershock after bursts of creativity like a whale stranded on a desert with no water around... but yeah, you´re useful... and your music is very inspirational to me and others... and i just love it how it opens all kinds of different possibilities to the listener...   Posted by Andre Sachs on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 4:30 PM [Reply to this]

	lady	But, what if you feel so useless, like me for such a long time. I'm a writer and I was without words for such a long time. I'm glad I'm useful again and back on the writing. But than again, what do you do when you feel useless and without your creativity? Thanks for a useful blog entry. Hope I will remind it, when I'm useless again Lady   Posted by lady on Saturday, May 31, 2008 - 6:43 PM [Reply to this]

	erik walet	Mike ! just to find out how you're doing I read this blog and it made me really think because I care for you as a friend. (ofcourse everything has it's own gradations but anyway we looked each other in the eye) I recognize this so well, (specially when you comment that only 15% of all has a normal common sense) as a creative musician. I for example feel very usefull when I am able to compose, I can't imagine you don't feel that like wise. What now if you change column 2 with collumn 3 and start reading it like this WHEN I AM HAPPY I REALLY FEEL USEFUL WHEN I FEEL CONNECTED I REALLY FEEL USEFUL ...... and so on It's just a thought and just a variation but for me it seems to make sense I show you a smile and sent my regards from Amsterdam Erik.   Posted by erik walet on Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 4:59 PM [Reply to this]

	Todd	Well, that just about says it all my friend. Thanks for helping me look back and see the simple, big picture!! Todd   Posted by Todd on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 2:30 PM [Reply to this]

	Eli	When you "feel".. any emotion is you, and passion of living..and when you feel ,you comunicate with yoursef.. and now you share.. and now it's me, that feel your emotions falling as a nude soul and a smile or a tear of a child.. Love Eli   Posted by Eli on Saturday, August 16, 2008 - 3:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Sashamoniker	surprisingly enough, I had to learn that feeling useful feels good. But now I know, and it makes sense :)   Posted by Sashamoniker on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - 9:32 AM [Reply to this]
