Spanish is better for poetry, but English is better for music. As Fernando Lasalvia said, you could sing washunwei over and over again and it would still sound cool, while any non-folkloric composition in Spanish is doomed to sound, well, kinda dumb.

If I may make a suggestion, look to Pablo Neruda for some inspiration.

omg neruda was teh commie

Yeah, anyways. Neruda. It went kind of...

Puedo escribir los versos más tristes esta noche
escribir, por ejemplo, el cielo está estrellado
y tiritan azules los astros, a lo lejos.

Or something like that. I can never fucking remember the lines that follow after that. Damn you, Neruda!

People actually believe that my heart is engulfed in fire.

Could be because of the synonyms. Some words are more used to be taken literally, while others appear more in metaphores.
For example, if you write "Mi corazón se incendia", that's a bit more literal, but "Mi corazón arde" would be more appropiate if you mean that in a subjective sense.

Uhhh...... Wie gehts?

Muslims won't be happy. But I laughed.

I'm pwning the McDonalds game. Just enough evil to make a profit, not enough to anger people. The anti-globalization dudes actually love me, I can't understand that one.

Well, that is until I let the game run in the background while I posted here. Doh.

As FAFSA deadlines approach I would like to renew my offer to do taxes for $20 or a Foamy t-shirt.

A foamy shirt is worth its weight in gold. How much does a shirt weigh?

HAHAHA we were watching that during the commercials. We're like... "this is so gay... but I can't change the channel!"

I'm writing a review of it for a class. It's going to be a blast writing it.

Wait, they made a game of dogs playing football during halftime.

How come no one told me.

I would pay to watch that.

It was three hours long.

I made a topic in General...

I would pay to watch that.

Two million people tuned in for it last year. The ratings were undoubtably higher this year. =]

Now you just know they'll try to combine dogs with poker. When they do someone should take a picture

Do you have a site for clips of it.

They had a bunch of puppies, and they took turns. I counted ten in the field at one point...

Oh gawd, it was glorious.

Animalplanet.com has clips somewhere.

I found it, I found it.

The Puppy Bowl

or just a clip from it.

Those are the same thing. McDonalds is such an icon of capitalistic perfection that it is almost an honor to work there... almost. But what the hell, flexiable hours, high pay and free food, who can complain.

I really like how the game teaches hippies that capitalists are perfectly willing to make changes as long as it's profitable

So... before I make a thread about it.. Was there already one about the two British soldiers in Basra who were dressed up "undercover" as Iraqis, and who fired on a crowd of people / police? And their car was laden with explosives?

Did anyone else even FUCKING HEAR ABOUT THIS??

The end of the world is here, it's just that nobody realizes it.

a friend of mine watched it. She said it was just three hours of puppies sitting in a pen pissing on the ground.

LOL I was blazed out of my mind and watching it and wondering what the hell was going on.

Old English as it were. So perhaps that may help you out with your writings...

I was lucky enough to extensively study the language of the King James Bible... (one of the original texts) humm... I know it sounds weird, but that's not Old English. It's not even Middle English. And you wouldn't say "Modern English" because that's not a true category, because all languages are essentially modern if you still talk it.

It's categorized as Present Day English... (although it has several archiac words and affixes...)

Now if you want Old English, here's one version of the Lord's Prayer (from Wiki). I can read and understand it pretty well... I can even pronounce several old english words such as father, heaven, and evvil: Fæder, heofonum, and yfele.

Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum, si þin nama gehalgod. To becume þin rice, gewurþe ðin willa, on eorðan swa swa on heofonum. Urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us todæg, and forgyf us ure gyltas, swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum. And ne gelæd þu us on costnunge, ac alys us of yfele. Soþlice.

.Hear the original Old English version of the Lord's Prayer... I bet you can recognize at least 2 words, and more than 5 if you pay attention.

Although I can probably understand how your teacher may consider the KJV Spanishy... it has a few romantic words here and there. I would probably consider Middle English more Spanishy... especially Chaucer's works.

I'm proud to say I'm one of those few students who can read the original general prologue to Canterbury Tales in its original English version. Very Spanishy... I bet Empanado and Sepheroth can easily learn it too if he listened to audio tapes of it a few times.

*sigh*

I'm writing congress and demanding that they declare last night's Superbowl Half Time show as violating the 8th amendment. It. Was. AWFULL.

I didn't know we had the superbowl.
I liked playing football, but I never got into the act of watching it. I also collected cards, but that was peer pressure. Now I just give them away to my cousins.

Yup.
I am soooooo un-american

You were never owning to begin with. That is not acceptable growth!

I still don't see how any of the actions taken in that game are evil aside from putting Industrial waste and maybe growth hormones into the soy.

No no no...
It's not funny unless you say it like this:

"I still don't see how any of the actions taken in that game are evil...
(aside from putting Industrial waste and maybe growth hormones into the soy.)"

It's all in the timing.

I was turning a profit and being ethical at the same time. That's pwning in the truest sense of the word.

I was more referring to how things are phrased "Thou shalt not" and the like... but, okay...

Don't feel bad. I'm not that great at american past times either. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't know how to fix a car, could care less what the "finer points of baseball" are...

And I'm never going to make fun of the french again.

Some of you already know about this, and I thak you guys, and applaud your contributions so far.

But for those of you that don't know, I'm making a mosaic out of Newgrounds-related pictures. I have a prototype on dysplay here. (Dimensions: 4056 x 4032 pixels; Size: roughly 8.5 MB)

Post your own pics to this topic. Mr Biggles, fli, Ill, JoS, Skunk... I'm looking at you guys...
