Whatever.
There is one board that is going weird. There is one board that is going weird. I'm going to post at both until I fail to feel welcomed at one. |

Oh, I don't care if I get banned from one. I just want to be consulted on which one 
besides, I was always a bit of an outsider on a lot of issues on the board. I just know that at the other board I'm not going to last long with the new crowd that is coming in, unless everyone has changed and dropped their grudges against me. God knows I stopped caring ages ago. |

No, AlAlastor that is quite alright. I'm just wondering when this board will be fully active. It'll be nice |

No. No destructive lay outs. Tehy are annoying. |

I don't know. I'm not sure how long I will last there. So I think it may be smarter to just leave and not burn any bridges that aren't already charred  |

Man, I'm turning 20 in less than two weeks. And I know I'm not the oldest person on the board, or the most pathetic. But god damn, it feels weird posting. |

What Max said. Keep local mods down, like none.
Then have like 5 full mods and 5 admins. Small. Less personal tensions and it obliges people to be active. |

So, back to staff.
We should probably have a ratio. Keep total admins at 1 or 2. Have x full mods for y-members. Or at least have it based on activity. Total amounts of posts divided by the amount of forums, give the mods a beat and make sure members know to PM them issues. |

I'm not gay. But, like gays, I have a hidden agenda to overthrow the Christian democracy of America and institute forced gay marriages, become a scout leader and communism. |

I'm just pulling this verbatim
Its plays on relationships are quite serious. Even when it comes down to Zoidberg and Herald Zoid, it shows the changes that happen after a person feels useless - something that Zoidberg feels often (which makes him quite delusional). I shit you not. I always feel uncomfortable watching Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish around people, the Sting too, but that is different. Jurassic Bark has a feeling of estrangment. It is complex and causes you to questiion relationships with not just a dog, but a person. Fry's last line is applicable to so many things. Seymour is, abstractly, both a lover and a friend of Fry. He is a confidante of the character and his effective soul mate. And like wise it is like a devotion of marriage at the end. Seymour will not leave Fry's side. Even if Fry is not there. I think it is the fact that there are some friends that will always believe in you even when you can't understand their depth of loyalty that really touches you. And also, Luck of the Fryish has an erstwhile theme about ongoing devotion between those who genuinely love each other - even when it is combative. Yansi and Fry may fight, but they are still brothers. And Yansi only had respect for his brother - going so far as to name his own son after his brother, breaking the chain of Yancy (a family tradition). He imparted all of Fry's dreams to his son and raised him to be a genuinely good person who is more or less selfless, like Fry. Both of those episodes are interesting because it represents the catharsis of Fry in two different lights. Both of them are maturing experiences where he grows as a character to understand the emotions he is feeling and to have a deeper insight into his erstwhile character. In both he fails to understand the depth of devotion of both relative characters. However, he learns that people didn't move on from his death and just forget about him and supplant him in Fryish. In Jurassic he assumes that his best friend would've moved on from him, but instead his friend stays there til' he dies. I always found that aspect of the show quite interesting. Although the ending of Lisa's Substitute Teacher is so brutally honest that I have to choke back a bit. |

This thread loses.
PS: we need more threads about Sublime. Someone get on that. |

I'm listening to the album Up The Bracket by the Libertines. I always found it a very interesting and enjoyable album. I started listening to them wholesale last year when I first moved into res and Pete Doherty drugged up some passed out girl. This album, however, features a gamut of sounds. The relatively subdued sounds of the opening track of "Vertigo" which really tosses back to an age of the early 60s experimentalish rock. You can really hear some boyband undertones. The next tune "Death on the Stairs" is probably my favourite song off the album. I find it an awesome and eclectic song with highly abstract lyrics and a surreal sounding atmosphere. I just love the full album. Mind you, I left something in Moscow. |

My favourite albums probably include Tying the Not by Stringed Cheese Incident. It is such a solid album that ranges the gamut in each individual song and really transcends every single genre. The song "Sirens" for instance is simultaneously a hard rock song, but features a chorus that is obviously influenced by reggae.
I rant about it all the time, but I adore the album Up the Bracket by The Libertines. And I understand that it is not an album, but it the most solid collection of music ever put together. But I have to say...the Life Aquatic soundtrack. The Mark Mothersbaugh work is delightful in how it is simultaneously serious and imaginitive. It really brings forward a feeling of a relived childhood. The song "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" is particularly interesting. It has a childish feeling of glee, but a definitive undertone of something that is lost in the past. It is engrossing, to say the least. Plus, the Seu Jorge covers of David Bowie? Amazing. |

I knew that you hated me and were planning to ban freedom  |
