Lets be honest, it's been a while coming. Luckily, appendectomies are my specialty

You want me to be your docile body? I could go all day =p.

Ashley, you look like you're halfway between whimpering at having your wrist smacked, and waiting in your SUV, blasting some speed metal 5.1 surround sound, heavy on the bass...and someone is getting mowed down.

I have a disturbing lack of self control.

To quote a wise man: "Only that which has no history can be defined" Therefore, I'm bound to give, to the burden of thine eyes, a genealogy of mine hair.

That song would be so much more hilarious if sang by the voice of Harvey Birdman. I really like Bardo Pond. Here's a sample: In fact. Like is a grevious understatement. I love.

So basically, you're saying that they aren't good at producing music which has some sort of ideational content...yet they're good at producing music without an interface on the level of ideas (without words, or any attached semantics or ideology, like the whole rock or pop image etc). And you're from the U.K, I'm presuming. Doesn't that just strike you as being because you're unable to understand the culture? Since popular music is just an extension of various cultural traits of its time. Anyway: This is so badass

Mega lol. Whats happened? He went and got his feeble minded bun in your oven and bailed out? jokes I'd bale out:

This thread is wahjah. I can imagine like, Japanese people with auditory cortices that are still intact, shaking their heads and saying "If there's one fucking thing we export, why the balls does it have to be this shit." Jaysus.

Urrrgh. Freud is good for uber phallic lolz. Edit: Er, dear god...I need to go redo that whole paragraph. Worst sentencing ever.
-
Well no, it wasn't all shit, Freud had a lot to say that wasn't just to do with sexuality, and while a lot of it was him finding patterns in things that weren't always derived from sexuality has been found to be misdirected, what Freud is most definitely worth lauding for is not his "scientific" tropes, but because of the mode of interpretation he created. I mean, we do not know anywhere near enought about the brain to come to exact causal determinations about its computations, so we have to rely on huge aggrigations, or what we see in daily life, interpreted as proof of fact. I mean, Freud was immensely accurate in a lot of his psychological theories (as modern neuroscience and psychology have at times determined), but even when he wasn't, it is HIS mode of interpretation that caused us to even develop branches of knowledge such as psychology, or sociology. The modern study of human behaviour is his child. A genuis and an inextricable part of the 19th/20th/21st centuries. I donno. I'm mega monged out right now, so some of that might not have made sense.

Friedrich Nietzsche: nobody understood the inherent contradictions in humanity better than this man. Hell, he embodied them himself. Showed us how things originate in their antithesis. How all good things were once bad things. The transvaluation of values, the transcience of moralities. A very intuitive psychologist, and a man whose mind was more capacious than anyone I can think of. Maybe =p. Our postmodern values of opinion and free thought and perspectivism can all be extrapolated from the thought of Nietzsche. Existence presupposes essence. Our existence dictates who we are, there is no individual and presupposed essence that encapsulates our being. Every day we life, we give birth to ourselves anew and thus we cannot be defined. Only that which has no history can be defined.

Totally a ghibli person. Some of my fave movies of all time. Only one I wasn't a big fan of was Pom Poko, although I haven't seen Tales of Earthsea. Yeah...GOTF is a personal favourite =p. Actually, think I'm gonna watch Lupin 3 tonight =D.

I'm the Bard. I like titties.

Yay: Gonna try finishing Bioshock 2 today, and tomorrow gonna set up a dictaphone with a friend, get some beers in, play some pop choons and record our spontaneous responses; then write them up and send them in to the student mag. Saad and Jamie's singles corner. It's gonna be so hateful. Boo: Have to read even more Simone de Beauvoir for tomorrow (as well as boring theses on plagiarism and internet research) Oh sheeeeeit. Whair? Its good right? Quite excited for it actually. In fact, gonna have a ghibli night over half term. Been so long =D

Flink, your lone dimple is dashing. Grunchie, as expected, has the eye of the tiger goin. I feel like a punk bitch in the line of his gaze. As for idiot faces, here's a pastiche of all the idiotic faces I've been photographed making (many are exempt):
-
Well, I'm sorry then. I guess this forum isn't the place for discussion of the sort I had in mind. Perhaps this is the way Emerson felt in the face of the confederates =p. Anyway; ramble on.

@ Anti police thread: I crai. Tooday, I just sat about and read Shame by Salman Rushdie, which is a really enjoyable read, considering most of our set texts for the postcolonial course have been weeeell boring. Magical realism ftw. Um, also, played a bit of Guitar Hero: Metallica. Man, I suck so so bad at guitar hero, it makes me weep with inadequacy.

Firstly, you are entirely unqualified to judge my intelligence, considering that your above post indicates that you probably don't even understand what I'm writing most of the time. Secondly, read what I wrote again; I'm fairly sure that if you strain yourself enough, you might understand what I'm getting at. Unfortunately, I choose not to speak in cliches and proverbs, so communicating with you is probably going to be a tough job. Would you like me to draw you a diagram instead? Lord. What a couple of utter twats.

Yo bro, what happened? Took the lady ice skating for an hour and a half, which we spent bitching and poking fun at little kids and people going too fast. Ah, theres nothing I love more than a good bitching session. Then we chilled out, went shopping, and went back to her mums place for a meal (which was fantastic). The worst thing that happened was that on my way back to our uni house (I had to come back early cause I have lectures on monday) I fell asleep on the tube with a huge bulging belly, and missed my stop by 7 stations. LOL. So I got home about an hour late. Was rad though.
-
Yup, exactly. Its seems to be an unresolvable set of conundrums, but one that I can't help but bitch about anyway =p. Of course there is the fact that the law could be established in such a way as to put more of an emphasis on context, which is something that does occur in some instances; unfortunately the gargantuan task of applying contextuality to every concievable law is so daunting (and in some instances so prone to ridiculous abstraction; for example, sex laws to do with statutory rape are often absurd) that its preferential to the government to apply to one as to all. Also; the point of a system of laws is to maintain a social equilibrium (well...ideally. Instead, it functions at times to just further the most base instincts in people), and so if a persons cries of unfairness are to be taken into consideration, isn't this just a ridiculous compromise of the system of laws' own ideals? Nywaaa...
-
Your argument = Don't complain about the many inadequecies of the police force because our whole system of laws and customs would be rendered unviable without the external agency of some punitive force. That's ridiculous. Try and get an idea of the nunace of the other's argument, instead of superimposing your own biases onto it, and ultimately letting it flow neatly out the other ear. What I'm saying is, well, yes, we as human beings need to be policed, because of our innate need to be dicks. Unfortunately, the laws, moralities and social customs of the state are, much like you, incapable of taking into consideration the divergences of culture and disposition that are prevalent in this country, and thus are in a fuckton of cases, incapable of being adhered to. The whole system of one law fits all, is quite frankly shite. Unfortunately, your problem, as with all people who are wholly proponents of a particular normative set of customs, is that you are opposed to anything that challenges your particular status quo (I am assuming here...or conceptualising the existence of people who do actually do this. They exist everywhere). Rant rant rant rant etc.

Agents of the nanny state gone overboard.

I'm taking the woman ice skating, and then we're gonna gorge ourselves on as much Nando's as we can possibly devour in one sitting. Then some protracted, animalistic humping to a sountrack of Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross. Or not, who knows? It's gonna be perfect. Perfectly banal. LOL. You is funny.

Have a goodun brah.
