never write angrily
things always appear more humourous in your mind then they do in text. My recent jaunts into snaarsissism-land have proven explosive to those around me. Any attempts at humour on his blog has fallen like lead balloons.
Excuse # 345 for why posts have been sparse:
– I go to scho-hehe work every day and come home whereby i am usually not allowed to play on the computer due to several distinct reasons.
1) Mary would like to spend time with me, go figure.
2) Mary would like to spend time with the computer, go figure.
3) I’m in a generalized bad mood and don’t feel like touching it.
4) Plans have brough me elsewhere, and not within the use of the computer.
Anyways nuff excuses…. when i get my own computer i will make more posts, i promise.
When it comes down to it this is the crux of my life right now. I’ve been away from my own computer for over a month, going on two months. Work has been going well, but i can’t decompress because i can’t unplug myself. I’ve noticed a general degredation in my mood as the days go further and further away from having shipped my computer off.
It isn’t just because i have a computer, but in the end it is also because i’m clueless as to the goings-on of my computer situation. I have yet to recieve any form of compensation, but ups has officially robbed me of my damaged pc. This depresses me tremendously because at least before i could try and salvage it, now i’m dangling on a thin line that could or could not have broken. That thin line is the line supplied by ups in the hopes of compensation.
So imagine me a shadow and here is a quote
PUCK
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Non-english majors dont get to quote shakespeare. Get back to quoting those know-it-all’s in the philosophy branch of learning. Damn people always stealing our best quotes. Wilbur

Roger Ebert is a strange fellow. Here is an argument against reader response: Because Roger Ebert cant get Micheal Jackson off his mind for whatever reason, is his claim that Depp was channeling MJ even though Depp stated he wasnt, correct? Is the artist the authority on how the piece should be interpreted or is the audience? Wilbur

“But leaving “Pirates” aside, can anyone look at Willy Wonka and not think of Michael Jackson? Consider the reclusive lifestyle, the fetishes of wardrobe and accessories, the elaborate playground built by an adult for the child inside. What’s going on here? Bad luck that the movie comes out just as the Jackson trial has finally struggled to a conclusion.” I mean come on… all the different freaking points he listed as “reasons” for thinking Depp mimicked MJ is all things inherent to the character of Willy Wonka…. Willy Wonka was a recluse, owned an elaborate playground, and wearing those kind of clothes in the orginal… not to mention in every willy wonka characterization including the book. This is seriously a poorly constructed review. This is like getting angry at christian bale for playing batman with such a deep voice and dark attire… Willy Wonka is portrayed as a genius in this movie, not a charismatic shut in that just so happens to know all the right things to say at the right time. great movie hope you guys liked it..

I guess we are clinging to old times … only now the classroom is blogland … sorry everything got out of hand. Now tell the truth. You have a thing for Johnny Depp, don’t you? (Remember, don’t write when you’re angry. Trust me, it’s not a good thing to do.) Lead balloons … that’s about right … your attempts at humor, and mine, and everyone else’s …. I am considering not posting anything philosophical ever again …. but, I’m a glutton for punishment, so I probably will…. See how comfortable I am in posting my free-flowing thoughts on your blog??

wdulouz and hrslvrfat: [quote:1cd94354d7]Is the artist the authority on how the piece should be interpreted or is the audience?[/quote:1cd94354d7] why, the audience is the authority, of course. if the artist has to come in and explain what he or she was trying to do to, then the art was not successful. the art is supposed to speak for itself, to the audience – once the creation process is over, the artist is done (except in the cases of like, interactive artists, like say mimes, but that’s neither here nor there – i’m talking fiction, poetry, film-acting, etc.) but there is a caveat. the audience can only be an authority if he or she is an intelligent, close watcher/listener/reader. the audience cannot be an authority if he is a king-of-pop obsessed movie reviewer who, without his old friend siskel to reign him in, for no apparent reason sees pedophiles coming out of the woodwork. arglor: that was [b:1cd94354d7]exactly[/b:1cd94354d7] what i thought when i read the review: [i:1cd94354d7]man, you’ve got pedophiles on the brain. because that’s the script, honey, the story. it’s ain’t johnny’s fault![/i:1cd94354d7] his performance [b:1cd94354d7]rocked[/b:1cd94354d7]. i loved it. i’d like to watch it again and again. it was almost as good as his performance in [i:1cd94354d7]pirates of the caribbean.[/i:1cd94354d7] maybe better, actually, but the [i:1cd94354d7]pirates[/i:1cd94354d7] performance was so damn hot, it’s hard for me to compare… and now, a moment of silence as i contemplate johnny depp’s performance in [i:1cd94354d7]pirates[/i:1cd94354d7] { … … … } 😉 snaars: you’ve got a thing for johnny depp, yourself, don’t you! don’t worry. we’re “free-flowing” here. you can spill. 😉
