Postage Due
The letters are rivals with swords,
Broad against the flat lined pulp.
Praised, and then repented
Until each has had its way
With my eye. And you
Swear to it; as if it were
Your own existence. Bent
On a fifth or the first degree,
Surrendered at a legendary's expense.
I am brittle and struck in two.
Gone, with a final blow,
The rubbed out remains defined
Ink lined creases on pristine stock.
Held against my flesh, my face
Fierce, rewritten thoughts,
The letters unsealed, recycled
To charm, to hate, to relive
And sent to myself, so I stay
Permanently pointed and fine.
p.s. you and I...don't deny it but at least think about it.
(That is the best news.)

«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1800 of 2164 Newer› Newest»How come certain people get to decide what is a dead horse or not? I think the OPS talking about Frank being hot and wanting to have sex with him is a dead horse but it doesn't stop them.
12:20 there is no need to go after the J she can't stop you from talking about what you want.
1st 12:20 the only thing that I think will get people to see watchmen is the fact that the 300 guy directed it. And it has to be really good. Because it maybe a legend but that is only with comic people.
I can see TUA becoming a show on cartoon network. And than I could see a movie seriously being considered.
Lolz. For real, omg. My fault, for getting too invested, did not realize the depth of the crazy out there.
goodnight elena
I can see TUA becoming a show on cartoon network.
I don't know. Gerard said some pretty negative things about Cartoon Network after the deal for The Breakfast Monkey fell through - like how he didn't want them to make toys for it to make money. Although, I suspect he was just bullshitting as usual. He didn't seem to have trouble with MCR having action figures.
carrie
isss
Carrie is always the anons.
Cartoon network are the only people really out making cartoon shows or showing them. that is why I said them .
TUA has to get it's name out there. And the comics only won't do it
What are you talking about anyway, Carrie? Too invested in what? Who is crazy this time?
every anon? She must have a lot of time on her hands.
Elena, stay safe out there. Goodnight to you
TUA has to get it's name out there. And the comics only won't do it
You're absolutely right about that, Martha. People who read comic books are a minority and so are fans of MCR. They aren't enough to guarantee success for a TUA movie.
There aren't enough fans of either to get a movie made. I think the studio heads would look at it and say hell no. Or laugh in the face of the person that thought up the idea.
Tom Cruise is having trouble getting movies made now. I think that right there tells you a lot about the state of the movie industry.
I am an anon. I am not Carrie.
I am the true, original smilie face anon. I can be recognized by my face. ☺
Have a nice night.

Oh, sure, right.
A goodnite smile for the cranky anonymous.

goodnight smiley face anon
Hi :)
Goodnite Martha Jones.

hello rw
I suppose I'll go to bed as well, but I did enjoy talking to you, Martha. You are very smart. I like you.
Goodnight. :)
Goodnight, smiley face anon :)
How's it going, MJ? WAs your pizza good?
Anonymous said...
Why don't you post some more porn about Frank if you want to talk about something else OPS??
Pardon me, darling heart, but how about you go eat a bag of deep-fried rotten assholes?
Really now, punctuation isn't going to KILL you is it?
That sentence SHOULD read:
Why don't you post a change of subject J? I'm sure we can all find a topic to agree on, seeing as most of us don't care for the drama?
Or are you unable to string together a coherent sentence?
-A is keeping an eye on this place.
Hi, A :)
Why don't you go argue some more on lj, Amyranth and see if you can't bring down some more wrath on this place? After all, you love the attention so much.
Too bad you don't realize how many people were laughing at you during that whole episode.
Hi amy, hi RW *squeeze* I'm surprised you're up this late :)
Hi, BC :) *squeeze*
I'm doing a bit of painting. I don't have to work tomorrow so I can stay up late.

Anon I also enjoyed talking with you.
RW: yay! :)
Hi mj, nice anons. I see that we might be seeing some corporal punishment here..
You know what, I wasn't going to sign in tonight because I would think it would make more peeple think OMG she is all anons but then my not so seecrud internet GF sent me an email suggesting that maybe some hos should find some sharp objects, and yeah. Other anons, who were all, it's Carrie! Wrongness, on so many levels. First, I watched the horror of a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert, in 3-D, no less, and then I watched a movie with my husband. I will admit to thinking about this place, but I didn't post anything. So yeah, accusey people, you can kinda suck it, and I think my runny eyed barn cat doesn't like you so much either.
Hi, Carrie :)
hello carrie sorry about that 3d movie
Gonna have a shower. Back in a bit...
Hey RW and MJ, sorry for my all attitudedness entrance. MJ, have you seen the finale yet? So far I have resisted the lure of the internet, but it's getting stronger.
Going to bed, dudes, goodnight.
Yes I did carrie it was so sad but so good. Have a good night carrie
Goodnight carrie, sweet dreams. Enjoy your shower RW. What happened to J?
Beem waiting over there in the corner, BC. Let's try this again.
Hi guys!
So long as we draw breath, so long as we live among men, let us cherish humanity. Let us not cause fear to any man, nor danger; let us scorn losses, wrongs, abuse and taunts, and let us endure with heroic mind our short-lived ills.
Hi J, and how are you this evening?
Hello, Mayoville!
Besides the fussing, what's been going on?
Hi BC, I'm fair. Have a touch of a stomach bug, like a 24 hr thing. L had it already and was kind enough to, uh, "share" it with me. :P
Sometimes I don't like sharing.
Anon @ 1.54, great quote. Thanks for reminding us.
Oh, and hi Mya, Amy, MJ.
Mya, are you feeling better from the other night?
hello mya
The reason I haven't been here lately is because I took a 10 day vacation where I didn't have internet. Then went back to work and of course they had it all piled up for me.
The vacation was great and cheap! I spent the entire time at my sister-in-law's lake house, just 45 minutes from home.
I got to do a lot of fishing and we were able to have a big fish fry last Saturday night. I had estimated a total of 30 fish, but it came out to 45! Mostly bream, but a few nice size bass. And yes, I cleaned about 95% of them!
Also, I decided to cut all my fingernails off and pick up my guitar again. So my fingers are a bit sore, but it feels good!
I don't remember feeling ill the other night, OP J... Was I? I just don't remember.
Hi, Martha!
And Hello to BC!
The reason I'd asked was you came on and posted "The Heart of the Matter", then said goodnight, and that was it. We wondered if you were feeling blue, or anything.
Oh, that! I've been listening to the Eagles a lot lately and I just love that song and for some reason, I just thought of this place. I was thinking or hoping maybe someone would be moved by it, I suppose.
Hi mya, how are you? Aw J, get well soon!
Well, that's cool then. Glad you're not in a funk. :)
I think I'm just gonna go to bed. Any enthusiasm I might've had earlier got sucked dry by, well, you know.
Goodnight BC, Amy if you're still around, Mya, Martha, and Nice Anons.
Goodnight Mayo, see you tomorrow.
Goodnight SS baby, I miss you and I love you.
Goodnight Blog.
Is anyone here any good at interpreting dreams?
OP J, Drink plenty of fluids!
I had this weird dream, where I was at GW's house, with my daughter and there were a good many other people there too. We were all actually staying there.
It seems that he was always in and out, mostly out though… I was getting tired and sort of bored and decided to go home, so I started packing.
He came in the room, but walked over to something else in the room and without looking at me said, “What are you doing?”
I said I felt like I should go home and that I didn’t think he would mind or even notice. Suddenly, he turned and looked me straight in the eye and his eyes were like piercing into mine and he said, “But you haven’t completed the assignment yet.”
That is pretty much all I remember. I have no idea what the assignment part could mean.
Any interpreters?
goodnight j
sorry mya no good at that stuff
Then I woke up this morning with one of my hellacious headaches that made me nauseated. I lay in the bed with an ice pack and slept most of the day - which explains why I'm still up at 2:30 am!
The dream was just weird... but the piercing eyes thing and the assignment thing were actually pretty scary. But, knowing me, I bet it didn't scare me in the dream and I left anyway.
Goodnight J, sweet dreams. Mya, I suck at interpreting dreams. Sorry that I can't help :/
OH, wait! I remember something! I know why his eyes were so piercing! His eyes were WHITE with just black pupils and black ring around the iris! Freaky!
Why Anon, thank you for the lovely bull!
I will cherish it, and it's angry snort, forever.
Anon with the pea brain that thinks I am OHSOCONCERNED about LJ, bitch PLEASE!
Anyway, I'm going to go finish the board game we're playing, and head to bed. Goodnight Lovelies, Mayo and SS!
*looks in the broom closet. Wonders if SS knows how to fly one of those things.*

I gotta change computers from this one to the laptop. I'll be back in just a minute.
I'm back!
And am I the only here?
*wonders what color Mayo's eyes are*
Mya, that's a freaky dream O_o see you soon
Goodnight amy, sweet dreams
goodnight amy
I think I'm gonna head off to bed as well. I'm tired. Goodnight mya, mj, sweet dreams
G'Nite, BC
*wonders what "Yes I would" means in Mayo's profile*
mayo,
tonight i wandered.
i went outside into the night, warm and moist with a humidity so heavy it lay on the fields as a visible mist. i walked back and forth, through the air and through the sounds. i sat on my heels and haunches and looked at the night.
i came inside and wandered through the internet, aimlessly almost, following quiet internal nudges.
i wandered through the blog, too, re-reading my old good nights, and your most recent poem.
unanswered questions pressed in on me tonight. i am a simmering stew of them. and everything i looked at was merely to pass the time while i thought, and thought, and thought.
however, all my wandering tonight got me nowhere, because there is no where to get. i have to create it first. i have to make my own life.
and there's a scream of frustration coiled tightly in my throat, which i swallow, again. how do you take a leap of faith when there is no cliff from which to leap?
so i stew.
there are lines that elude me in your poem, mayo. there are lines that speak to me with a meaning you may or may not have intended. there are lines that when read in the silence of this sleeping house, when whispered for the pure pleasure of words on lips, leave me wishing.
but behind it all, the flame to follow, oh those damned words. how do i get there? how do i get to the unending conversation, the life that is better than immortality, the paper that stands in for my flesh, forever?
where's that damned cliff?
swallow the scream, again.
and go to bed.
mayo, i have no idea what's going on your head, but i wish you safe and strong, hale and whole.
dream well, my friend.
Hi, TJ
Goodnight mya, bc , rw and tj.
I am off as well I think rw is around somewhere.
G'Nite, Martha
Well... Looks like I'm alone...
I'll just talk to Mayo then... at least I know he won't talk back to me.
OK, then...
Mayo,
I will tell you what has happened in the last few days of my life, OK? No, it isn't very interesting. I'm just making conversation.
Thursday night, I made little personal pizzas using flour tortillas. Instead of a tomato sauce I used an Alfredo and added spinach, mushrooms, onions, feta and mozarella cheese. They were really yummy, but I burned my hand on the oven and that sucked.
Friday, my daughter and I went shopping and found some great things on sale! Friday night, I grilled some chicken breasts. And I managed not to burn myself! So, that didn't suck.
But what did suck was that at some point, my little dog hurt her leg somehow. She started limping and not using it at all. I don't feel a brake, so I'm assuming she pulled a muscle or sprained it while jumping off the sofa or something. She is still not putting any weight on that leg and I feel so sorry for her. She follows me everywhere and when I go downstairs, she tries to follow me and I end up picking her up and carrying her. I suppose I'll take her to the vet if she isn't any better by Monday. And that will suck.
Also, on Friday, I picked up my guitar again! After months and months... That was a lot of fun! I was doing pretty good at picking out songs too! I was really pleased with myself at some of the chords I was coming up with. It has really been a long time. I'm going to make a point to keep playing this time. Who knows, maybe I'll even start writing again!
Today started out bad. I had the headache from hell and ended up sleeping most of the day away. It was so bad it even made me throw up! And that truly did suck!
Earlier tonight, I did some internet shopping and checked all my emails from the past week. Then, I came here...
So, that's it... What about you, Mayo? What have you been doing?
Fuck, Mya, that's some boring ass shit.
hi mya
sounds like the sort of week i have, I grated my hand grating cheese on thurs and it still hurts!
I can't stay I have too much to do but I wanted to say JI
and Hi anons
and goodnight everyone who's gone

Hi fasc

Anyhoo wishing you gigantic, massive, humungous and huuuuuuuuuge good times much love EP xx

lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Morning!
I had my second blog dream last night. And I'm pretty sure it was Mayo's fault. :) Still not wanting to know.
I dreamed that Chris Gutierrez was Mayo. When I found out, and I don't know how I found out, I told him, "So, dude? Do I get any reimbursement for talking about you at your own place, semi-singing your praises, and for polishing up your name?" He told me to "Fuck off" and I laughed because of it.
Anyway, found this at Chris' LJ:
Thank you for the smiles you think I don't see, the tears in your eyes when you walk away, the way your hand shakes when you're holding the camera, the words and secrets you trust me with, how you scramble for something for me to sign as if I'm going to walk away, for the little notes on dollars in my tip box, for the couches and floors, for the notes, letters, gifts, food, love, support and belief. Thank you.
It is a 'Thank you' to his fans, to the people who purchase his books, go to his speakings, etc., and I thought it was a really good one.
I can imagine watching on the other side of the divide.
Okay, not sure what else to say besides have a great Sunday, Sinday if you're into that kind of stuff, or if you're me, have a great Wednesday, Mayo, SS, and BlogBelieve!
And where can I get my hands on some of those Thin(g) Crust People? O_O
*high fives RW*
Your typo pretty much ruled.
Mayo,
Hey Chris? O_o
Bwahahaha! That was funny.
Good LICK with finding those thin(g) crust people, Mustard!
Kapunua,
LEATHERMOUTH FOR THE WIN!!!!! ^_^
Hee-hee.
HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY MAYO, SS and everyone! :)
<_<
>_>
*as PP is from the country where children are given very special names, such as Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii,and, Sexfruit, PP will neither confirm nor deny that 'Pickled Possum' is a made up blogger name*
;)
Goodmorning everyone!
Oh yay! It's Monday!
Anyone want to swap? >_<
Glad you're having great weather, FASC! Looking foward to seeing you in full, when you get back, blue links and all. =)
*blows a little raspberry tinged love at the 'grinchy about FASC's links' Anon*
Whoa, at all the Virgo birthdays coming up!
And all so close together. O_O
We'll have to get Anima on to the odds of that, as numbers get her all hot and sweaty, don't they? ;)
Guardian Angel,
Sorry to read you are leaving, like others have been doing. It feels a little like autumn lately.
Mayo,
What makes you laugh? Not a small, giggly laugh, but a laugh that bursts outloud, scares your friends and makes your insides gurgle happily.
*is interested*
*and just a little nosey* =)
SS,
Nice to see you're still hanging around with the nuts here. ;)
Righto, got to go!
Have a great Sunday everyone.
'Night =)
BAHahahaha!
PP, you make me laugh. Have a great Monday!
BlogBelieve,
Have a nice Sunday!
Mustard,
I loved your dream. Nothing better than Hey Chris telling you to "Fuck off!".
I think my dream consisted of me and my struggling family trying to buy a 2 bedroom house that was falling apart. Weird.
SS,
Dude, I miss you! We could really use some SS guidance right now. Some of those valuable SS words and stories.
Maybe you're hanging back trying to see if we can apply what we have all learned from each other over the past 11 months. Are we passing the test or failing miserably?
What's my grade? Like a C?
I think I need to brush up and go back and re-read the SS manual and try again.
Thanks, my friend for giving us inspiration every fuckin' day!
Mayo,
Wassup? How ya feelin' this Sunday? Everything in the right place? Missin' anything? Someone didn't come in the middle of the night and take one of your kidneys, did they? You don't know? Well, fuck, get up and check! Pull up your shirt and check for stitches and staples! You do still have both your legs, right? Whew! Okay, cool! You seem to be good to go now.
So, now that all that is out of the way, what are you going to do with this brand new day?
I'll probably spend part of it with my family and the rest of it lost inside my own head ponderin' on shit.
Sunday is totally a pondering kind of day.
Right?
Fuck yes!
So what will you wrap your brain around today?
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Yeah, I know, they say that never happened, but...

I told you dudes, I am going to keep posting those lyrics. ^_^
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. It's not even close to afternoon yet and already it's storming like a bitch. I am not having the party today. >_<
I just remembered:
I also had a ittle bitty dream about MCR playing a show somewhere. Me and a bunch of other people were there because we were coordinating the gig.
So, the coordinators were outside, lined up at the sidewalk leading into the venue, and we were supposed to do they do at football games, where everyone lines up on either side of the 50 yard line or some shit, and they high-five the players as they run through.
I thought this was ingenius, because we were going to look like cool mothereffers high-fiving like this.
So, this school bus drives up and my dream has a glitch. We didn't get to high-five, everyone went inside the venue but me, and I assume Bob, Mikey, and Gerard had already gone in, because Ray pops off the bus in shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops wearing dorky-ass sunglasses with his hair in a ponytail.
Then he raises his arms like a football player or as if he were about to start the "YMCA" and says "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
And so I mimicked him and did the same thing back, and we were dorks.
Anyway!
Maybe you're hanging back trying to see if we can apply what we have all learned from each other over the past 11 months. Are we passing the test or failing miserably?
I really like that thought. It's kind of like in Fly Away Home.
OMG, I just watched a Georgia high school senior flip a house for a school project and he earned a profit of $45,000.00.
A senior.
In high school.
Unbelievable. O_O
Then he says, "Oh, that was just a one time deal. I'm not flipping anymore houses. I'm going to Georgia Tech in the fall."
Dude.
Mama must be proud of you!
Awww, Ray is awesome even in dreams. :)
Flip a house? Never heard of that. O_o
Oooooh, I am glad I didn't release my robins yesterday as I had planned. Storms for th next bunch of days. However my dumb starlings that I released two weeks ago have come back looking for hand-outs. I put some corn out there yesterday and maybe today I'll put some eggs for them. Sometimes starlings do that, they show up at the aviary weeks after they've left and they're like OH HAI! FOOD PLS! It's good, because then you know they're alive and you've been successful.
Right now there are about five grackles eating grapes off my grape vine.
I think I finished the changes I wanted to make on my manuscript last night, err. I think. Which means that all that would be left to do now is print it up, make a cover letter and start shipping it out.
Umm.
Jules,
Get on that! Now!
Cover letter!
Awww, I think that is sweet that they come back. :)
I wish I had some grapes.
Yeah, he flipped a house which means he bought it and did a whole bunch of upgrades to it (paint, new flooring, landscaping) and then sold it to make a nice profit.
Dude was all of seventeen. O_o
It's a Bert kinda day...
Just sayin....
"Buried Myself Alive"
Niiiice. :)
LHM and I were singing Smother Me yesterday on the way home.
Hee-hee.
Now it's "On my Own"...there are no words to describe how much I love that song.

Thanks for this link. He does look tired, and yet alert, like he was genuinely excited to be there. And it was good to see family there with him.
the practice of "flipping" houses really pisses me off. the houses that people do that with are the ones that used to get sold as starter homes and fixer-uppers, you know, the way people used to be able to get into their first home.
but now, with this trend, you get some clever dick swooping in and buying the house, and then selling it at a price the first-time home owner can't afford.
that happened to us when i was married twice.
twice.
we never had a home of our own.
it may sound clever and useful, but it's really just stealing for a profit.
/angry rant.
sorry. button, pushed. nothing personal.
gonna go see if i can find my dream job out there on the internet.
bye.
it may sound clever and useful, but it's really just stealing for a profit.
So buying things at a low or normal price and then selling them for a bigger profit is bad?
I have a friend who buys houses that people have lost due to foreclosure for next to nothing. Then she and her husband fix them up and either sell them or rent them out.
Honestly, since they started doing that I haven't really felt like being around her very much.
I mean, how can you sleep at night knowing you're making money from someone else's misfortune -- especially losing their home?
just jumping back in real quick -- i might be catching up on my lj f-list instead of job-hunting. maybe.
and i might have possibly come across this nifty quote, from an interview with alice cooper in this week's kerrang, :
When asked "How do you manage to attract new fans after more than 30years?" He answered:
"You know, I think it's just because of the strength of the songs that Alice Cooper has. I see kids nowadays that are more into classic rock than their own generation, and I think it's because band's nowadays don't write those classics. There isn't a new 'Smoke On The Water,' or even a new 'School's Out.' The only band's that have come close in my opinion are band's like The White Stripe's and My Chemical Romance."
*smug*
back to lj...er, i mean craigslist.
I have no desire to ever own a house, though I can understand the frustration of people who do who end up having to battle for one.
There isn't a new 'Smoke On The Water,' or even a new 'School's Out.' The only band's that have come close in my opinion are band's like The White Stripe's and My Chemical Romance."
Hmm, interesting! Go Alice ^_^

TJ,
My brother-in-law is in real estate. Is he a dick, too?
I'm sorry but not everyone is always out to profit from someone else's misfortune.
Some of these houses are abandoned and they pull the value of the other houses in the neighborhood down.
They are actually somewhat helping out the other people that live around them.
Alice Cooper is an old geyser who only cares about golf these days. WTF does he know?
I think you meant geezer.

Yeah, well, what are we gonna do about it?

Well, it is, after all, just a blog.
Well, but what about what's been gained? Lots of us have made good friends on here. :)
Hi, K :)
Hi, S&V :)
Gerard looks so glossy eyed in those pics. i don't think it was the lighting because Grant Morrison's eyes seemed okay. maybe Gerard was out partying it up after he won the awards.
Hi, guys!
*dawdles*
*thinks about adding more stuff to manuscript because, is anything ever really finished?*
*looks stuff up*
Do you mean glassy-eyed?
Mayo doesn't even bother with any of you anymore. He used to say he LOVED you. Now what. Nothing.
Whatchoo up to today, K, besides looking stuff up?
Who cares, 12:37pm, I don't really care much for Mayo anyway.
rw,
his eyes were glistening
Maybe he was feeling emotional.
He's probably dreamed of something like this since he was a kid.
How sad this place has become.

Can't help but agree. See me last night and at DM. Things change, people change, or maybe not.
Yeah, well, what are we gonna do about it?
I don't know. Keep on keeping on, I suppose.
Well, it is, after all, just a blog.
So true.
Well, but what about what's been gained? Lots of us have made good friends on here. :)
So true as well.
RE: Flipping houses
It doesn't bother me that much. I could see both sides of the argument, but I don't think there's some conspiracy in the act of remodeling homes.
Hey everyone
Just stopping in and catching up. The storm last night passed without much damage.
Thanks to the anon who left the link to the Comicon pics and story. It was good to see Mikey and Alicia there.
Smoke I agree with you. Buying a house for the asking price and fixing it up to resell isn't evil. Many times it helps the neighborhood.
Oh and Alice Copper rules!
Wot wot? Mayo came in here and talked to us last week; it was fly.
RW, nothing really, I was supposed to have a party today (and Beautiful Boy was coming too) but it's all thundery stormy whatnot.
I should just do the things I have to do, but all of a sudden the idea of printing and sending an entire manuscript + cover letter is so much more daunting than a query letter, so instead I'm looking for ways to "work on" or "fix" said manuscript and asking myself stupid questions like, "Should I add a section about a radio?"
OMG, and I know I'm doing it.
Hi, Mustard :)
I saved a thin(g) crust person for you!
Mayo totally wuvs us. He does and don't you say any different. >_<
Bwahaha!
He really does though. :)
Hi K! Hi RW!
Hi, Elena :)
Gerard needs to dream about eating some food.
Whatchoo up to today, S&V? Still organizing LHM's room?
Oh and Alice Copper rules!
Lol.
RE: Gerard and ComicCon
Dude looked hollow. I told Lucy yesterday that you could stare right through him.
The link with the pictures an Anon posted were pretty cool. And Mikey and Alicia both looked really well. :)
Hi Mustard! Hi Elena!
Aren't Mikey and Alicia pretty? :)
And yeah, Gerard looked cute but tired. And that mothereffin' jacket. >_<
GRRRR!!!
I haven't even started on LHM's room yet. Oh. My. Gawwwd.
Aren't Mikey and Alicia pretty? :)
They are, and I like Mikey's hair that colour.
looks wise, Gerard falls in the middle of Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse for me. i'm really concerned about his appearance.
Hi Smoke and Elena and Jules and RW and her Thin(g) Crust Peeps and Mayo and SS and Anonymi!
Gerard does resemble Pete Doherty in those Comicon pics.
Okay, I'm off to attempt to clean my son's room. I'll be knee deep in G.I. Joe's and Wrestlemania.
O_o
Toodles for now! :)
Smoke
What are you doing to LHM's room?
Hi, hi everyone!
Why the HELL am I "researching" early gramophone recordings? "She put a record on the gramophone," that's all I need to say. Do I really need to know what they sounded like?
OMG, excuses.
I need to shut down Firefox and do this. Catch you guys later. :)
Have fun, S&V ^_^
Have a good day, K :)
Still around RW?
To the rants on flipping.
What the Fuck!
Do you want the houses to sit vacant for the local kids to hang out in, or better yet given away to you?
The banks want to get them off their books, so they offer it a lower price. TO ANYONE that steps up.
Everything that is bought and sold, somewhere in the list of transactions, someone takes a loss or less profit.
Bet you hate all the swap meet people or pawn shops or small local businesses. Some are ruthless in their dealings. Where did they get their merchandise to sell? How much did they pay?
Does it bother you to buy a "Starbucks" instead of support the local Maxwell House Company- people probably lost jobs because of your cruelness or can you justify that purchase?
Buying and selling houses is a business- it provides local painters, plumbers,office worker etc... with business,so they can support themselves and feed their families.
Of course they are sharks in EVERY business. That is why you educate yourself, instead of stating comments that make you look stupid.
Someone sounds alittle bitter, because they dont know how to buy and sell.Or is it that you want the government to provide you a house? Boo Hoo
So don't judge all the people in real estate businesses, who have the BALLS to run a business, secure a home, provide food on the table,stimulate the local economy and community.
Also, try taking your pretty little heads out of your ass and take a look around to see how business really operates.
Or just get a job!
Why the HELL am I "researching" early gramophone recordings?
Because it's really interesting? :)
I'm here, Elena :)
How's your weekend been?
You have a point, 1:02pm, that would have been made more successfully if you'd kept the hate out of it.
Mayo doesn't love you people. He loves the attention. He shows token words to you in order to keep you hooked. that's not love nor is it friendship.
Hey Mustard I didn't know you were still here.
My weekend has been okay. It's really hot here today so I'm not planning on going outside.
How's your weekend, RW?
Thanks for your concern, 1:10pm, but I really don't give a damn who/what Mayo likes.
Pretty relaxing, Elena. Haven't done a heck of a lot! I'm about to head out to pick up some more home decor/painting supplies, but I may not do any more actual painting until next weekend.
How's things been your end?
Anon at 1:10
That's your opinion. Sorry I don't agree. But really, who knows what goes on in Mayo's mind except Mayo. Hell, maybe he doesn't even really know sometimes.
Not sure what I'm gonna do today. Not that there isn't lots of stuff I should do but I'm just not feeling it. Think I'll just be lazy and do nothing. I'll probably read and watch the 6 hours of Comicon I have taped.
6 hours!
I didn't know it was televised.
Well, time for me to head off.
Have a good day, all :)
May I ask you all an opinion, as readers? I'm not going to post any long excerpts or anything, I'm just curious as to what you'd think about a certain decision I'd made.
Have a good day, RW. Catch you later.
What's up, K?
You are right RW 1:05
Unnecessary Hate Rant by Others + Unnecessary Hate Rant by Me = Unnecessary Censure. Thanks for the reminder.
Released now.
Don't you know, 1:28, that only those 'in blue' are allowed to express hateful opinions on here?
Where the hell have you been?
Mayo should have all comments pass through their filter before showing up. It is their blog to censor, after all. I'm really starting to feel bad for Mayo.
If left up to them none of the anon comments would get through.
After all, those of us who only come around occasionally and don't have the time or the need to make a blogger account aren't on the same par as they are.
We're the underbelly of blogger. :(
Well, Elena, it's this villain of mine. And, you read a lot and you write also, so maybe you could give me an opinion that comes from outside of my own head. ;)
At first I just had him as a typical bad guy. Like, demon-spawn, but was very clever and smart, a good strategist, and although he didn't kill everything in his path (he saved people he might need,) when he did kill, it was with violence and joy. He would be mad with happiness of inflicting suffering.
But, then I went back and changed that last part drastically. I made it so that, while he does actually like killing people, he does so apologetically. He does it for his cause (he wants to create order in a mad world,) and he tries to seem very sorry for the suffering, saying that the means, though unfortunate, justify the end. Soe people can tell that he actually isn't sorry, but he's got all these followers, so he tries to appear kind, or at least regretful.
I guess my question is, which do you think is scarier, creepier, and more compelling? I keep going back and forth.
Yeah, because making a pretty blue blogger name makes you oh so special and oh so identifiable.
Oh snap, that comment actually went through. I lost internet connection about a half an hour ago and it just came back. O_O
There is a HUGE, EPIC storm going on.
my ass gon' get fried.
You would think that the content of the comment was more important than the identity of the person leaving it. Why should who I am determine how you feel about what I say?
It's kinda hard to give an opinion without knowing more of the story. Like is his "cause" truly worthy to mankind or just to him?
But from just reading what you wrote I'd say the second idea sounds better. Wondering what kind of followers? Do they need to think he's sorry or would they follow him anyway?
Why not leave the computer and go outside to witness the storm? Epic storms don't happen often.
It's the internet, we're all anonymous.
"It's the internet, we're all anonymous."
Not the ones in blue. They are real people. We, of course... aren't. Strange how most of what they say here is crap anyway. Most actual conversation stems from an anonymous comment.
Oh anon, if I went outside my ass would get struck by lightning, It's right overhead. (Actually I did go out for a minute or two, to video tape some of it.)
Elena, well see, his cause is perfectly right to him. He thinks that he can put the world in order and put everyone in his or her place; he believes that everyone and everything, great and small, has a station in life, and that he's the only one who sees this and who can bring order to the world. And people who disagree, or who don't fit into their place, he just kills them.
His followers are what he calls "ordinary people." Either they believe in him or they believe he's going to win, or they're intimidated.
Oh gosh, my format for the manuscript is missing something; I just found out I have to have the title on every page. WTF. Why do they have to make it so hard?
Thanks for listening, Elena. ^_^

Your opinion is just as valid as anyone elses. The only problem I have with anons is when they say hurtful things to others. It's just my belief that if you hurt someone with your words you should have the guts to let them know who you are.
How about when those pretty blue blogger names say hurtful things to others?
Doesn't that matter?
True Elena but not all anonymous do that. Just like some are hidden blues. You've seen that, I'm sure.
My problem is that a few here think they have some right to rule over this blog. They treat anons as less but also several blues as well.
It's nice too see someone on the same page as me, 2:19. ;)
So he believes himself to be doing what's right. Of course that is the mindset of many killers. They convince themselves that the killing is done in the name of justice. I think by having him want his followers to believe he's trying to do what right for them you've added another dimension to his character.
The only anons who ever get recognized are the ones who kiss the regulars' asses.
Anons often make very valid points that are ignored because the 'blues' don't choose to acknowledge them.
They've made this their own private domain. Maybe they honestly don't see just how damned rude they are to others, new here or not. You can make rules for your own blogs but bringing them here is proof of just how warped your perceptions of Mayo are.
Honestly, I think the alarm system some of them use even keeps Mayo away. Why risk saying anything, you know?
Thank you muchly, Elena. That's where I was going with it, but it's so close to the time where I just have to suck it up and send this bitch out, I'm choking over every little thing.
Check this out: 399 pages. 3,6,9 following me everywhere.
And that goddamn little paperclip that tries to help you in word, he just won't leave. And he's leering at me. He leers, you know? He looks smarmy.
Personally, I prefer villains who are not purely evil. If they retain a shred of humanity and the reader can find a reason to sympathize or identify with them even just a little -- that makes the character much more compelling.
Just my two cents.
CLose!
Oh, yeah! ME! :)
Heck I've gotta go. My daughters boyfriend just broke up with her. Oh hell much drama.
K - I'd love to talk about this more. Maybe later?
Take care, all.
Thanks, 2:28. Any input is great.
Also, I like the hero to be really flawed. The greatest criticism I keep getting on this manuscript is that my protagonist is too flawed. He's prissy, he doesn't really like fighting. He's a school teacher who has this one gift, and he uses it frivolously. And he's terrified of the villain.
Elena, for sure! Thank you! ^_^
Hi, Mayo!
I'm back with some more boring shit! I know the anon will be thrilled!
I have another damned headache! I suppose it is off to the chiropracter for me tomorrow. And guess what? That sucks!
The dog is still limping too...
I'm going to a movie with my Mom and my daughter in a little while. We're going to see Mama Mya, I mean, Mama Mia! It really isn't something I'm dying to see, but it could surprise me. Anyway, there's buttered popcorn there!
So, there's my boring account for the day.
Elena, I'm sorry about your daughter's boyfriend. That blows.
Welp! I guess I gots no choice. I have to do this. Have to do it! ^_^
Later!
Don't mean to intrude, but... have you seen the new trailer for Watchmen?
Talk about flawed heroes and villains.
And guess when it comes out?
