Because they don't enjoy threads blatantly outing and stereotyping homosexuals as greasy-chested guys with "gay" stickers all over them?

Just a guess.

The economy would suffer, for sure. But it would recover, given time. The number of people trying smoking is on the decline anyway, so soon all the smokers will die off, and there won't be anyone to sell tobacco products to. Better to cut 'em off now.

You're not as cool as you think you are.

I think the last book I actually read in my own spare time, and not for school or anything, was The Dark Half, by Stephen King. It was the story of a writer who's alter-ego penname manifests itself in a human form. HIs alter ego then goes on a killing spree, eliminating everyone who convinced the author to give up writing under the penname by which he lived.

It was an interesting story, but pretty watered down. The ending was all too contrived, and really had nothing to do with the rest of the story at all.

Someof the good points was the amazing detail, especially during the fight scenes. The killer has some real struggles trying to take some of these people down.

Overall, it's not as though I regret reading it. But I could have picked a better Stephen King novel.

I think the only difference in the files is the size. I've seen MIDI files go up to six, by they're HUGE. It's a size vs. quality issue, I think.

Sounds hot to me. I'd hit it.

Which king are you planning on killing?

That'll teach you to eat birds.

Could happen.

I don't think it would fly that far as a console game. Even if they upped the graphics to todays standards, you don't really have a game. Just interactive hentai. No one would sell that for consoles.

Do you mean discuss our thoughts on actual books or poems by published authors we might have read recently? 'Cause the last thing I actually read was a comic book :(

Mind you, it was very good.

It sucks because most people will only recognize it as a parody of "that iPod commercial."

...but now nothing is. I've been finding that something is super fucking awesome for about two days. Then, everyone has one. Then they suck. The circle of life goes on. I must break this cycle!

Case: Aviator sunglasses. Kind of cool, but they don't work for everyone. They work for me. I was still looking for a pair the other day, but when I could find any good ones, I just went to work. There, I found all five of our delivery drivers wearing their own pair of aviators. My desire to get a pair dropped to the level of "if anyone tried to give a pair as a gift, I would shit on them." I don't even know why they were wearing them. It wasn't even sunny out.

Case 2: Camo. I'm not talking about full-blown camo pants or militia gear, but just little hints of green and brown splotches. Now they are everywhere and on everything. Watches, hankies, "don't"-rags. Everywhere.

Now I know why there are so few actual individuals out there. It's too fucking hard.

Maybe I'll post something today. Yeah, I think I will.

The world exploded on Monday morning.
(And it's all my fault.)

It was cold outside, I remember.
But I ran my errands without a sweater.
All the people, running 'round.
Couldn't see, or hear the sound.

The didn't know what to expect.
How the hell could they suspect?
I kept it secret, hidden well.
My mental artillery shell.

I knew when the time was right,
I would release its awesome might.
And smite those who would disbelieve.
And I wouldn't even stop to grieve.

I'd just continue on my way.
Finish my "to do" list that day.
There'd be no one left, of that I'm sure.
No more disease, but no more cure.

My bomb would melt the very Earth.
Strip it right down to the hearth.
I doubt that even I would make it.
But the thought's there now, I cannot shake it.

Finally I turn that key.
I've had enough, enough of me.
I'm sure that everyone feels the same.
It's to late now, and there's no shame.

The countdown has begun again.
There'll be fire, then world will end.
There is no failsafe, no chance to stop.
We just wait now for the ball to be dropped.

That one just got scarier and scarier as I wrote it. I was like, "Holy shit, I'm writing about a guy who blows up the planet and kills everyone." Kind of freaky. But I was concentrating more on my rhythm and rhyme this time around, and less on the content. So don't think I'm crazy or anything. It just came out that way.

Wow, it really does look like I'm crazy. Shit.

I hate it when I have a truckload of half-assed ideas that I don't know what to do with. I wish I was more people. I would get so many more things done.

Aqua and Calico

When a life is a variety of colours,
some people think it means less.
Those are the people who crave focus,
and order above everything.
But most of us can take the time
to expand our minds
and open our eyes
to the new colours of the skies

Not just the radioactive reds
or the fallout fuschias,
but the better colours
that are so downtrodden
in our own heads.
Those sunset pinks
and morning orangings
can't go unnoticed.

If nobody sees them,
who's to say that they're there?
The same can be said for
anyone and everything.
Our existance is nothing more
than the recognition of others.
Maybe that's why we try
so hard to be noticed.

Maybe if I don't look at you
on the street or in the bar,
you vanish for that second.
Just disappear into nowhere.
You'd think you're still there,
but to me, you're in limbo.
I can send you to oblivion,
just by ignoring you.

That is the greatest power
I have ever known.

--------------------------------------

Hmm. I don't even have a comment for this one. Hope you enjoyed it.

Ah. Summer has been good to the Manman so far. Just got back from my May-long camping trip with the buddies. Four days of doing jack shit is good for the body every once in a while. No running water or electricity. Fucking awesome.

I did some good ideas for some new endevours I want to take a stab at, so we'll see how they pan out. I also wrote a new poem. Yay!

Take My Time, Please

I saw you come home last night
the light of your eyes gave you away
it's hard for you to get away with things
everyone knows you're there anyway.

You've told me your life's story
more times than you've relived it
like a skipping vinyl record
you need to read the prescript.

I don't know why I take
the bullet for you over and over
I know you're going to get shot at again
before this night is over

Fire inspires sparks
and sparks inspire dust
this has to mean you inspire someone
I find that terribly unjust.

This wasn't as "wheee" fun to write as some of my previous ones, but it was a lot more satisfying. I felt it means a little more, but I could be wrong.

Oh, Myst. I'm going to have more time to help with the reviewing a another day or two. I have a few more loose ends to tie up before I can commit enough time to leave half-decent reviews. MIdterm exams and such. You know the drill.

What a bastard.

Already done so. I'm still voting, I'm just not as excited about it as some people I know.

I'm not feeling the whole point of Democracy at the moment. I have to vote today, and I am less than stoked. All the parties are going to screw us over in some way or another, so everyone is essentially picking the lesser of the evils. Lame. The same thing seems to happening in the States as well, but I could be wrong. American politics bore me. All politics bore me for that matter. We never have teh choice of what we want, so what's the point?

But, on the other hand, how hard would it be to hold a publicly elected position? I don't think I could handle it.

I just can't do politics.

End of stupid story. Don't yall think it would make a good flash movie? I do. :D

For sure. It makes for some funny reading, and I'm sure it would make a A+ flash as well. I mean, c'mon. PANTIES.

It has to be ICP. They were named the worst group ever.

Okay I should take a snother stab at something that can be taken a little more seriously than my last couple of works. But c'mon, they were awesome.

The painted rabbit

You need to stop your running
and you need to stop the tears.
You're running like a rabbit,
been doing so for years.

You've got no sense of space
and even less of time.
You just keep on sprinting down the road.
Running from your life.

And you've got to
turn and face your issues.
And you've got to
turn and face me.
And you know you
can't keep going.
But you think you're
get free.

Everyone who tries to make
you smile and make you laugh.
You think they're after something,
kind of like what's in the past.

You need to get up over
the water under that bridge.
But you'll never find the exit
if you don't know where it is.

And you've got to
let us closer to you.
And you've got to
quit hiding from me.
You think that you
can make it alone.
But you're wrong,
adn you won't get free.

Cat in the Hat.

You have to give someone money in exchange for goods and services? When did this happen?

I'm sure you're overreacting. Chill out and rob a bank chump.

I think Episode V was the best of the original three. I mean, it was the climax. Darth is Luke's father? HOLY SHIT. Plus the battle of Hoth was fucking awesome, and Han gets frozen in carbonite and hauled away by Fett. Sweet. Six was good, but it was all downhill to the conclusion after Episode five.

No, because then you could change your posts in order to get out of a ban. There are little or no bullshit loopholes around here.

unless of course there already is one and I haven't noticed it...

No.

I'm sure Tom didn't "master" bushido. He probably only learned to enough to finish the movie.

uma thurman defeats lucy liu in kill bill

Because Uma is the hero.

because asians are evil.

If you say so. Lucy was playing an assassin who was asian. Seems like a good idea to me.

Last Samurai and Kill Bill weren't FOR asains. There were marketed for North American audiances. You want movies that are FOR asians, go to Asia.

I have. Lots of old jackie chan movies and comedies have white people as antagonists.

Like First Strike, I think. And Drunken Master 2. And Project A I believe. I might be wrong about that one too. They all just kind of roll together now.

And it seems that the black guy dying first in FF has nothing to do with what you're talking about.

the black dude dies first in a lot of movies.
or at least doesn't live to finish the film.

So? It's not racism, there just aren't enough recognized black actors out there to play the big parts yet. They are getting there though. It still has nothing to do with your original statement about asian movies. Unless the whole point of the thread was racism.

I don't find things in the food, I put it there.
