stop_blathing_if_you_have_nothing_to_say mr song please do 070608 ... . uuurrrmm m 070608 ... poet who made you blather king? 070609 ... . my yellow sports car 070609 ... Lemon_Soda Actually, half the reason I blather is because I have nothing to say but an urge to say it none the less. Therefore, in the immortal words of Geoffery Rush " I am disinclined to aquiess to your request. That means No." 070609 ... anti you i need a new printer or better yet new ink. 070609 ... phil Firstly blather is just. That means that we believe as many others in the apartment I live in, that the more you wash chicken the bluer the clouds become. Secondly it is twisty and tangly. Which basically means it's complicated. And lasty and most importantly is the pontification and non-sensical delight. The clever bit, Ok, I hate to make a point with anyone, since it is basically your world, you own it and everything in it. I mean it would be like raping a nun to argue with someone who in fact I am eternally indebted to for the air I breathe, and thank you for not destroying me with your lighting bolts and your trampling horses, basically it means to be opinionated to the point of suicide, and through mispelling words drawing funny ascii pictures all to prove the point that I am fucking right, and you can have two options, to agree with my twisted tangly viewpoint, to be mysteriously enjoyed. OR you can just be so very very, very wrong. 070610 ... phil shutup 070610 ... The Spork this blathe coming from the guy who drowned us in onomatopoeic shit for weeks is absolutely the height of fucking irony if i do say so 070610 ... misstree i often blathe with nothing to say but i do my best to say it beautifully if_you_have_nothing_to_give i think is more important... the thing that is said is not always the blathe, or the beauty of it. didn't read anything else anyone said. 070610 ... eatingstars who decides who has nothing to say? who decides what nothing is? what if what is say is nothing to you but something to me. or what if its something to you and nothing to me. is it still nothing or is it something? 070610 ... unhinged i would say pages that have titles that literally don't mean anything that are filled with links to similar pages that also literally don't mean anything classify as nothing whether you want to be beautiful about it has always been a point of debate around here but you could at least say SOMETHING in english, french, spanish, german....something for_fucks_sake 070611 ... zeke for me, i try to adhere to the principle of not doing anything here that i would not do in a notebook or offline in a word processor. i also try not to use blather as chat, a scratch pad, first draft, or a bathroom wall. because of it's lasting nature, i try to blathe in a way that i will find compelling to re-read, forever. and though i am ultimately blathing to please myself, i try to remember, that there is a public aspect to these works. i try to be my own worst critic, so that criticism from others (and it will come) is not as likely. i try to make artful works. or thoughtful ones. ultimately, it is about self-respect. 070611 ... . signal_to_noise_ratio 070611 ... ivyducktwilightseto ur a idiot. But really, where the fuck are you coming from? If you think something is useless, then don't read it. Blather is words, bunches and bunches of words. It can be whatever the fuck we want it to be, and we can say whatever the fuck we want to. So in that case, fuck off. 070611 ... hyena nature is atoms. lots and lots of atoms. it can be whatever we want it to be, so if we want to put a slagheap here, who are you to object? 070611 ... . i laugh whenever i see "i can say whatever i want, so shut up." i dearly hope i'm not the only one who can appreciate irony. 070611 ... unhinged way to steal an old blatherskite's name and say something in a way that they would never say it and honestly do you call pages like this: ertehrthe fdsgfvxcbvbv dsregrgser saying something? i would much prefer the most idiotic babbling and messageboardesque chatter to complete nonwords that literally aren't saying anything. 070611 ... Lemon_Soda I think this is a psychological dumping ground, and when toxic chemicals get mixed like this, their likely to get volatile. Make no mistake, I love playing in this muck. I like throwing pretty things into it and watch it sink into the dreary blue not knowing if I'll ever see it again, much less anyone else. I don't think anyone should ever say during a soak in the cesspool "Hey, don't be dumpin' that shit here." and not look like a moron. 070611 ... Lemon_Soda Um... You get what I mean... 070611 ... jane i definitely see unhinged's point. i think the problem i have with such pages is not that they exist, but the absolute quantity of them. if you have nothing to say, use one of those pages; there is no need to keep creating pages of nonsense. is there? am i missing something? when someone creates so many pages to say jibberish, i have to wonder what the point/intent is at all. maybe someone can enlighten me. 070611 ... mailer daemon i will say or not say what i want and where i want 070611 ... see also what_is_blather_supposed_to_be blather_is_blather what_happened_to_my_blather etc etc etc 070611 ... just another teen literature student lol but the definition of the word 'blather' is similar to that of the definition of the word 'trivia' meaning useless information. blah blah blah even poets like Tennyson and playwrights like Shakespeare have been described as discoverers 'of words, and not ideas' words are interpreted subjectively. 070612 ... unhinged you can do whatever you want but that doesn't mean everyone has to like it or agree with you. i have been a staunch advocate of the blather_is_blather argument and i've been here for so many flipping years that i have seen the cycles of messageboard use and nonsense (although we used to have the kings of nonsense back in the day; god and paste! ) so if i see/read something i don't agree with, i just try to let it slip into the blue, quietly frustrated. i have never been much of an admirer of modern art. i like the classics, maybe even the romantics and impressionists, but most modern artists don't mean much to me. i know i know, my perception my problem. but i'm just saying duder s. letters randomly arranged cause they feel cool to type is quietly frustrating to a classicist like me. you know and i honsetly hate the what_is_art debate. i had it enough in school. so i know you modernists are out there. jackson pollock is worth millions these days. *shrugs* but sometimes i can't help but make a clamor about my distaste. and i think in this situation my distaste comes from the misappropriation of old blatherskites names, which is just bad etiquette and the childlike mentality of doing it to annoy people. it's pretty obvious what the nonwords are and i generally don't bother to click on them anymore. sometimes i just can't keep my mouth shut. i was raised by a very opinionated man who likes to cause trouble in political arenas. *shrugs* 070612 ... jane bukowski so you want to be a writer? if it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don't do it. unless it comes unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut, don't do it. if you have to sit for hours staring at your computer screen or hunched over your typewriter searching for words, don't do it. if you're doing it for money or fame, don't do it. if you're doing it because you want women in your bed, don't do it. if you have to sit there and rewrite it again and again, don't do it. if it's hard work just thinking about doing it, don't do it. if you're trying to write like somebody else, forget about it. if you have to wait for it to roar out of you, then wait patiently. if it never does roar out of you, do something else. if you first have to read it to your wife or your girlfriend or your boyfriend or your parents or to anybody at all, you're not ready. don't be like so many writers, don't be like so many thousands of people who call themselves writers, don't be dull and boring and pretentious, don't be consumed with self- love. the libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep over your kind. don't add to that. don't do it. unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket, unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder, don't do it. unless the sun inside you is burning your gut, don't do it. when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen, it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it until you die or it dies in you. there is no other way. and there never was. 070612 ... hee hee ! dis is ony blueprint Shakespere mostly wrote about people misunderstaning each other, why didn't he write it in PLANe english then ? 070612 ... factory reject speaking_and_saying_nothing 070612 ... That singles out who *I* obviously am. Other than a few side observations, this is the first time I *haven't* been involved in one of these meta-blather discussions. 070612 ... post script and for once i am not a potential culprit in the recent crimes, either. hooray! 070612 ... rage i vote we ban any pages with the word 'blathe' in the title. Im all for democracy. but like any religion, once it gets too big it must destroy itself. its a fundamental law of nature. like parasites. bickerings not gonna stop the shit piling up and poisening us all. then again i wouldn't want to patronise. 070613 ... u24 why does this debate re-surface every few years? don't do this, don't do that. they'll get bored. write something. 070613 ... jane i do not understand whatsoever the desire/need to post a bunch of nonsense. not just once, but Continually. things were running so smoothly for a while, and it is so severely annoying to have to wade through the bullshit (yes because that is exactly what it is) in the today_yesterday list. i have anger_management issues right now, & if i could rip off your good typing arms i would. fucking wanker(s). kx21_must_die let's_take_a_vote 070613 ... jane not you, u24 070613 ... jane argh i mean not you i wouldn't rip off your arms, not about the voting thing. i'm a mess today. 070613 ... mr song the nonword blathes have been recuring. i will admit, i have mad a couple of them, to stir up some silliness, but it's escalated into some totally rediculous blathed that are absolutely nothing just_________ ! ever since i posted a couple nonwords to see the reactive results. i am sorry 070613 ... pSyche stop_saying_you_have_nothing_to_blathe just a thought. 070613 ... sab but sometimes you go to blathe and only find you have something to say after you start its an adventure and sometimes you gotta find your way with words 070614 ... saw blather was created for boredom 070614 ... zeke see: the_intellectual_decay_of_blather 070614 ... . guide_to_accusing_other_skites_of_spamming 070615 ... poet i am totally sick of seeing that page 070615 ... phil KX21 is the only thing I've seent hat really doesn't belong here. WHich is actually quite impressive. My life is art, when I put on my socks the world moves through and inside me. Hearing music sends shivers up my spine. Blather ties up my empty life in yours. If you have nothing to say you should blathe and read and learn to love and find your spirit again. 070615 ... phil But ya, I wouldn't even worry about empty blathes or big blathes or blathes that talk about a penis. (blushes) If there is anything more than just a scene of something like lemon_soda described. Blather is a popularity contest. I am winning. A lot of other places get stuck on the fringes of blather's constantly expanding dimensions. As we consume online message boards and chat rooms we are going to get sick a couple of times. But... If you can't be pointless then won't we all be pointy? I think if more people who have nothing to say blathed then maybe less would need to be said. Furthermore, if less people needed blather then more opportunity would arise for me to be a blather hog and have blather all to myself which would in turn basically mean I would be all alone and this would be pointless; which is basically how I learn to feel on this thing anyways. It's kind of like real life, no one may ever read your blathe or see you naked. But if you have nothing to say I think you should say something that you said and not something that someone else said. That way when we notice and read your blather we won't be expecting more from you when really all it is is a big lie and we are not getting to know you. And by the way I still think there are obvious things that could be erased. But what exactly is the point? I don't see anything changing on here as far as I am concerned. A good writer still stands out from the crowd. And doesn't need to kill off some participants just to be heard. As far as spending hours editing thank god I do. Or everything would be like this. I don't know but I think the majority of us may not have something to say or are struggling to write something that is well liked. Maybe we are just super disconnected from the rest of reality and just write stuff that does no good for anyone. Not even ourselves. But it's easy to love everyone if you try but it's hard to love everyone at the same time I wish I had more time but I do have more time I wish I didn't wish but I wish all the time and I never wish. I try not to make you sick. 070615 ... up yours ! you ain't nothin but a hound dog ! we ony tune into you ! 070615 ... yoink stop eating if you have nothing to eat 070619 ... Question man damn_shit 070625 ... ok ok 070625 ... ANGRY OK OK OK OK YEAH OK, TREAT ME LIKE SHIT - LIKE I NEED ANYONE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FUCKING HAPPY ON MY OWN, LEARN IT OR GO TO HELL. 070625 ... mr song anger_management 070627 ... Lemon_Soda Yeah, you sound REAL happy. 070627 ... Yeah... ecstatic. 070627 ... krupt nothing can be easily more beautiful than something... if you can see things for their tru worth. 080303 ... meta meta 080717 ... dafremen blather_is_blather 080718 what's it to you? who go blather from
