on_stuff_that_sucks Buttheadsattva to answer barret's question at ask_startfires. yes, stuff sucks, but it serves the duality of the universe...the yin-yang thing. If everything was cool and nothing sucked, then how would you know it was cool? You have to have stuff that sucks to have stuff that's cool. uhh-huh-huh-huh-huh yeah. 001219 ... j_blue herman (what an ugly name) melville (i think thats his last name) coined the phrase "nothing exists in itself" in his book moby dick, anyways, whatever though... 001219 ... retartedkidnameddamian me and my friend were going to start a "bag of suck" and put everything that sucked in the bag. we never got around to it. does anyone have suggestions? 010328 ... florescent light bills.... 010328 ... nocturnal man, so much to list. getting caught getting sick mondays bad grades hangovers missed opportunities obnoxious, hyper-active people alarm clocks wanting what/who you can't have losing stuff michael bolton empty refrigerators traffic empty bank accounts insomnia academy awards shows sunburns car wrecks........ 010328 ... nocturnal I recently experienced the biggest sucky experience ever and I will reveal it to you now. the suckiest thing that could ever happen is....... discovering you are the kind of person you've always claimed to despise. 010502 ... Dafremen That's close, but I'd honestly have to say that warm flat beer is suckier than that. Hey once I become the type of person I always claimed to despise I guess I won't despise that type of person as much anymore, I'll certainly understand things about their motivations that I never had thought of before I became like they are. Plus I can ALWAYS change me to be the type of person I TRULY want to be. Hard work, but possible. Warm flat beer? Not a damn thing you can do to fix that. Sigh. : ( 010502 ... Dafremen P.S. I am, of course, in perfect agreement with the guy who started this blather. We MUST have the sucky stuff. It's just absolutely necessary. I think that's why I think that "heaven" is such a rotten idea. 010502 ... nocturnal you can always go to the store and buy good, cold beer. not so with finding out you should probably hate yourself. no store you can go to and buy the kind of personality you want, at least not that I know of..... 010502 ... Dafremen But what about THAT beer? Should it be so flippantly discarded? Should not its tragic fate be at least pondered upon, considered awhile? Perhaps it even deserves the courtesy of a token sip, before being poured down the drain. The poor barley, hops and yeast that went into that brew didn't say "HEY take us out of this field and make us into some sort of beverage then pour us, set us out and let us go warm and flat!". No they went silently, perhaps not reluctantly but certainly involuntarily on this long journey and for WHAT? To be poured down the sink?! That's pretty cold-hearted of ya do0d, I mean let's compare your becoming the type of person you despise to you going warm and flat. Should you be discarded? Thrown away and replaced by someone whose personality resembles the you that you don't despise? No, if you was mine, I think I'd ponder that decision a bit first and even though you weren't the you that I original planned on being with, maybe consider whether or not the new you, the flat warm you was worth a sip. :) Daffy 010502 ... nocturnal you crack me up 010502 ... the blather slacker Nocturnal - I love your personality. So there. 010502 ... nocturnal thank you and damn you all at the same time. it's so unfair to compliment me anonymously, that's just mean. 010502 ... johnny west Who the fuck did you think it was?! 010502 ... nocturnal yay!!! 010502 ... nocturnal oh, and you have some business to take care of on red "ask me stuff" 010502 ... johnny west I know. I'll get to it. But it'll take me a while, seeing as I'm presently buried under piles of shit. On top of that, I have to do some research on that Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. You and Daffy will just have to be patient for a few days...until Friday, at least. 010502 ... nocturnal don't tell me you're putting school shit stuff before....well anything less productive. johnny dear, you've disappointed me greatly. 010502 ... johnny west You underestimate my senseless value system. You see, while school has never been a priority of mine, it has managed to deprive me of way too much sleep these past few nights. I'm turning into a narcoleptic piece of cludge. What prevents me from answering your questions immediately, and doing anything else useful, is the need to sleep. Tonight I aim to be under the covers by 9:00 at the latest. I know that's scary, but if I don't get some solid sleep soon, I think I'm gonna go nuts. 010502 ... nocturnal welcome to my world. hence how my sanity has gradually decreased over this year. fuck insomnia. it sucks. 010502 ... jawneeee woooozeeeee Maybe I should go on aol briefly instead of filling up all of this blather space... 010502 ... Dafremen Oh these little slices of dialogue are a treat for posterity. You'll always remember what you were doing at THAT moment when you happen across that blather in a year or two. I think it's pretty rotten of you not to answer my question in a timely manner Johnny, I blathered it in a timely manner. 010502 ... johnny west pleading for redemption I'm sorry. Please don't be mad. I promise to answer by Friday. I PROMISE! FORGIVE ME FOR MY LACK OF PROMPTNESS! 010502 ... nocturnal you will never be forgiven. I can't speak for daffy, but I know I hate you now. you are so unsexy. worse than bono even. 010502 ... Dafremen Well I still think you're sexy Johnny.....in a manly hetero way of course. 5 minutes...answer my question. Get in..get out. It's that simple, then you catch some shut eye. K? Answer the question johnny boy...and NOONE gets hurt. 010502 ... johnny scared Okay, man. I'm on my way. 010502 ... Dafremen Why do I get the feeling that "on my way" means that it'll get done sometime on Friday or Saturday? Months of pondering and I can't get a simple answer to a simple question? Hey pal, you're not the ONLY game in town you know. If you're too good to answer my question I hear ask_silentbob has GREAT customer service and a generous turn around policy too. Plus they say he's got bootleg Gorf videos. That Tim Conway is hilarious! 010502 ... blue star When you think you might actually be going to a dance with somebody, even if he is just a friend, and then he can't go because his girlfriend wouldn't be comfortable with it, which you can understand which makes it even worse. Especially when it's prom, and you've told your friends you're going, and your parents, and you've halfway ordered a dress.... 010502 ... nocturnal final exams when you never learned the stuff to begin with. I now have to teach myself an entire semester's worth of chemistry 2 and calculus 2. this will be the death of me. it's been wonderful knowing you all. 010507 ... denzel Ciao, baby. 010507 ... nocturnal just don't chop it off. if you did that I'd never be able to rest in peace. 010507 ... denzel ::gets out his knives:: Dammit. I gotta sharpen 'em first. 010507 ... nocturnal NOOOO!!!! STOP RIGHT NOW!!! 010507 ... nocturnal alright, here's something else that sucks to add to my list: when you wanna go out, but NONE of your friends do. I need more friends!!! 010523 ... abraham lincoln On stuff that sucks...lies more stuff that sucks...but when you finally pull off the covering of suck you find things that really kick ass 010731 ... daxle about_love 010731 ... kx21 A more general & Scientific Term for Love:- Emotional_Bond... It's somehow or somewhat associated to the_String_Between_Man_and_Woman, and probably the only & final clue between God & Beings... 010731 ... Photophobe nocturnal: You mean you never go to the personality store? Everyone's going there these days... 020405 ... Photophobe I think its called SPACE or HOLE or GAP or something... 020405 ... Photoidiot Fuck I'm a moron sometimes. I have no idea why I just posted either of those. I'm not even sure what I MEAN. 020405 ... DannyH I bought a really nice bag in GAP. I'm thinking of building a new personality around it. 020405 ... blown cherry photop is seriously becoming too much like Blake, that kinda sucks too. 020406 ... Photofused what? what does that even MEAN. Photophobe isn't a persona I put on. Neither is Blake. They're both me. 020407 ... blown cherry see: singular_personality_disorder 020407 ... pigeon formerly known as nanny see things_that_suck 040806 what's it to you? who go blather from
