The Following Things Should Fuck Off And Go Away

[Hyphnip]

You would think people would get bored with Hollywood's classical paradigm.

I'm not following you

[marx marvelous]

My current top artists... none of these are fashionably indie.

 

 

Edit: I can't bring myself to see 300 because from everything I've seen, all the dialogue is more befitting a locker room speech than a film script.

Terrible is in fashion.

[Hyphnip]

so that is why I feel so terrible.

 

personally, I think personal tastes are in fashion. you just happen to seem like one of those "I like different stuff than you so that makes me better" people.

[shade]

oh? I just think there is a lot of good music out there that you have to dig around for. My taste's aren't any better...but I would say a bit broader...but still need a lot of work...I just like trying out new things...with an open mind...not to say yours isn't...I just come off as a dick online because I am some lame teen.

 

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Isn't that sort of like conforming to non-conformism?

 

There's a paradox for you. How do you not conform without conforming to this non-conforming bullshit?

Hm. Yes. You don't see emo kids being smug about their emo. They're all into it with their pathetic excuses for hearts and pretending to be profound by quoting song lyrics on their myspace page.

[shade]

lyrics in the msn names is fucking hilarious...like anybody gives a shit that you relate to some song.

[ecnarf]

But my name is propaganda! I SWEAR IT IS!

[shade]

Your name is MUD in my primus opinion.

 

ps: cool band.

[marx marvelous]

I do book quotes in my AIM profile, but those are usually longer and have more meaningful substance.

 

My MSN name is "James Tillman" but I only have one contact on there.

[shade]

Deep man.

But hell, passages from great books have a hell of a lot more significance than Fallout Boy. And text is the medium that books survive on. Quoting song lyrics is like reading stand-up. It just ain't proper.

 

P.S. oh god don't look at my signature please.

 

EDIT: MSN name is as follows: Adam - what happened to the popularity of monty python?

Yo James...have you read "Amusic ourselves to death" by Neil Postman...if not..I think you might like it.

I've not. It looks pretty neat, but I fear that it's just full of obvious ranting. Is that not the case?

[shade]

No, some of it is obvious for NOW (it was written in 85 I believe). There are a lot of cool ideas...and he's not a dick about it either.

 

He compares 1984 to Brave New World a lot...I still have to read the latter though.

 

It's only 200 pages...worth a gander.

[ecnarf]

I didn't know that 1984 could be compared to a Brave New World.

 

Like, at all.

[Hyphnip]

my MSN name always has song quotes in it.

[shade]

I didn't know that 1984 could be compared to a Brave New World.

 

Like, at all.

One is a predication that the future we will be slaves to the government...and the other that we will be slaves to our own pleasure.

 

 

The book agrees with Brave New World.

[ecnarf]

I'd become a slave to my pleasure but I never slip the roofies into girls' drinks without being seen doing it.

[marx marvelous]

I really only read books written by musicians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding. I have ordered "Consumed" by Benjamin Barber, so I have to read it before moving on to anything else (I am a complete sucker for economic theory as it relates to Western culture. And post-cyberpunk, haha.)

[Hyphnip]

books are lame!

[shade]

Never made it as a wiseman, couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing...tried living like a blind man...I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling and this is how...
