Yeah honestly, complete with mfws and trolls. It's like I'm really on 4chan. What I find funny about this Wikileaks thing is that so many people are aware of it and yet won't move a finger to figure out what's been hidden from them for years. Myself included, of course. That being said, I hope this will lead to more transparency, or at least push towards a better balance of transparency and secrecy.

If there was no point in having a debate about it, then same thing would go for the Classy thread and there would be no music critics. I think as long as we remain civil there is no problem.

I can't really tell you whether your feelings towards her are worth the trouble, sorry. I don't see how they would create a problem, seems like something that would only happen in a sitcom. The new acquaintance will be interested if you spark her interest. It's not completely out of your control. If I was you, I'd probably focus on her.

Supermega's a special comic. Really special.

When it comes to the girl you're dating right now, if she asks you out (asks you to officially be your boyfriend, right?) tell her you don't want to go there yet because of her tendency to err on the cheater side, and you want to make sure things will be serious before you do this. Tell your ex, straight up, that you don't want to get back with her (don't do this publicly, obvi). As for this new acquaintance of yours, if you're more interested in her than the girl you've been involved with so far, you can become more than friends if you flirt hard and hint that you want to, but I would forget about the first one. You don't want to be a hypocrite.

You can also point out that if you look at the spiral while the light is on, you can't see it because of how bright it is.

[hide=The Dead Flag Blues - Godspeed You! Black Emperor] The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides And a dark wind blows The government is corrupt And we're on so many drugs With the radio on and the curtains drawn We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine And the machine is bleeding to death The sun has fallen down And the billboards are all leering And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles It went like this The buildings tumbled in on themselves Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair The skyline was beautiful on fire All twisted metal stretching upwards Everything washed in a thin orange haze I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful.. These are truly the last days" You grabbed my hand and we fell into it Like a daydream or a fever We woke up one morning and fell a little further down For sure it's the valley of death I open up my wallet And it's full of blood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOYdQOLkqf4 [/hide] They're not really lyrics. But whatever.

My favorite is probably Sartorially Inclined, because Lawrence posts a lot, and I like almost every bit of it. But I read a bit more than 15 style(ish) blogs, and then some through Valet. They'll have good and bad, some more bad than good, but that's inevitable and necessary.

Nothing new really comes in past the halfway mark, and the song plateaus even before that. Bound to happen for me in most house though.

deadmau5 is good to start off with, though I think there are better electronic artists. His tracks are pretty repetitive. rocco, I posted an introductory list to the genre a few pages backs, check it.

Yeah, probably.

Same thing goes... Chinos aren't very formal, and khakis even less so. You can wear whatever you find matches.

a) A scarf. If it's a black coat, and it's the only one you have, you won't be able to match it with all the clothes in your wardrobe. To hide whatever you're wearing underneath, get a scarf. Red and black plaid will work, anything that's not a dark color really. b) The exact same way you wear jeans, but you'll have to coordinate your colors differently I suppose.

" "I do not exist," we faithfully insist, Sailing in our separate ships and from each tiny caravel. Tiring of trying, there's a necessary dying, Like the horseshoe crab in its proper season sheds its shell. Such distance from our friends, Like a scratch across the lens, Made everything look wrong from anywhere we stood. And our paper blew away before we'd left the bay, So half-blind, we wrote these songs on sheets of salty wood. [hide]Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives, And heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters. I'd set my course for land, but you well understand, It takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters. The propeller's spinning blades held acquaintance with the waves, As there's mistakes I've made no rowing could outrun. The cloth low on the mast, I say I got no past, I'm nonetheless the librarian and secretary's son. The tarnish on my brass, the mildew on my glass- I'd never want someone so crass as to want someone like me. But a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure, And I assure you, it was not what I expected it to be! I still tastes its kiss, that dull hook in my lip Is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel. To an anchor ever dropped, sea-sick yet still docked, Captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel. Floating forgetfully along, with no need to be strong, We keep our confessions long, but when we pray we keep it short. I drank a thimble full of fire, I'm not ever coming back... Oh, my God. "I do not exist," we faithfully insist, While watching sink the heavy ship with everything we knew. And if ever you come near, I'll hold up high a mirror. Lord, I could never show you anything as beautiful as you!" [/hide] The author is Christian, in case that wasn't obvious.

Pm'd.

Little Lady - General Elektriks "They'll dress your hair with daisies and honeysuckle But watch now child how they're cringing when you're standing too tall Hey, little lady! Men say they own this town, Don't let them hold you down. Hey, little lady! The poems in your eyes, Don't let them turn to sighs. Fresh out of the womb they lay you in a picture that caged (not sure if these are really the lyrics, I'm doing this by ear) But now you're burning a candy house down and stepping on stage Hey, little lady! Men say they own this town, Don't let them hold you down. Hey, little lady! The poems in your eyes, Don't let them turn to sighs. They'll make you jump through those hoops The hoops might be rigged But child you don't even know You're too hot for them to handle!" [hide] [/hide] Ends in a funky-ass jam.

According to GQ he does it to draw even more attention to his crotch. That's the funniest thing I've read from them. Also, that's a thumbnail :(

No, just point them out. You know what, forget about the bad lyrics. Only post good ones. Can't edit the OP right now, I'll do it later.

Still hasn't snowed in Ottawa. I told my friend I'd see to it that there be no snow on her birthday. 5 days left, I'm doing pretty good.

I hooked up with this girl (who hasn't dated any of my friends in 8 months now, if you were wondering) last night :thumbup: it was awesome. Only took me a year and nine months to accomplish, lol. Worth the wait. Well done, slow and steady wins the race. Though watch the trolls marching in. Actually, I was about to congratulate him, and any of the regulars ITT probably will. I don't think you picked up on the 8 month difference. Also, learn what trolling is.

Yeah, but he wears drop crotch pants. I'm alright with people matching, I think it's cute. What about wearing purple socks? You can consider them a part of your outfit and at the same time not.

YES <3 GET A LONGBOARD It's expensive though, I have to save up. Maybe when I get a job this summer I'll have the money...

I love commuting, especially in the spring and early fall. Pop my earphones in, grab my board, I've got myself twenty solid minutes of happiness. I'd love to get a longboard, it's more efficient for travel, but a skateboard's good enough. Otherwise, about 15 minutes of bussing but it's not as much fun.

I don't like them. I don't like the color, and I think I would like it even less in silk. If you had to wear a purple tie, you'd have to go black, and I don't like black; you could try gray but I think the tie would overpower it. Regardless, if you're wearing it to match your girlfriend then it doesn't matter, just go with it.

I can't find a youtube link, but you guys should listen to Adventure Time's "Dreams of Water Themes".
