Nah, thanks!

Got a pair of Doc Martens yesterday, these are like my best pair of shoes I ever had, very comfy and worth the price, I must say.

Why haven't I listened to Cephalic Carnage before now? This is awesome.

Indeed it is my friend. Misled by Certainty is my favourite.

Damn thee, physics!

My chips have gone stale. There is no God.

The dark lord Lucifer hath cursed thine chips with the plague of air. Offer thee unto God a buck fifty to obtain a second bag with which to feed thyself, but make haste in thy devouring lest ye see thine chips grow stale a second time. - The Book of Hezekiah, 3:5-7

They are good, last pair I had was in 1993/4, bought a pair a few months ago after having had enough of getting wet feet every time it rained. They seem a lot more comfortable than the last pair I had, no blisters and bleeding calves this time around. Good thing with boots is they last ages, people can step on your toes and it's okay, and they're good for kicking things.

I'm starting to think I am a magnet for bands I don't like/have no interest in; whereever I go it's almost a guarantee that the metal bands that will be playing will be bands I am not interested in. Came back to South Africa a few weeks ago, BAM! In Flames playing the night before my birthday (as bored as I was could not bring myself to go see them), now Fleshgod Apocalypse is playing here on Thursday, not keen on the band but sometimes a man has to go out and...

SOCIALIZE.

(Yes, that was a Cutting Moments/Bowl Of Oatmeal reference.)

Missouri's Rich
Their hahaha
In the long haul
And haha
On Mondays food beverage conchita
Students with the bottles to figure out
Reporting with the sun's light and
Whitewater's disappointment
Chipmaker Gilligan but I don't actually
I said I think its ridiculous because its clearly not graffiti standoff

Also, if thee tasteth a stale chip, thou art unclean and must gargle with Listerine for three nights in solitude. On the fourth night thou will be clean in the sight of the Lord. - The Book of Hezekiah 3:8

So much comedic gold in such a short time

Be sure to be adorable with your docs and your metal vest! If you want French pickup lines, let me know.

Grandma Sarah: What's all that paint about?
Lone Watie: It's my death face.

mindshadow, please stop with these dumb facebook-type posts.

It's like Tumblr without pictures.

Redundancy.

Facebook itself isn't dumb, it's the people on there who post dumb content. Perhaps your friends are the dumb factor.

Looking for another job since my enlistment is up next September and I don't see myself re-upping. Unfortunately the electrician job I found at a nuclear power plant has been removed from career builder. Decent pay too, started at $33.15 an hour. Pretty much need that amount to keep living the same way we are now, which isn't extravagant by any means, but is comfortable. My wife only makes a little over minimum wage as a para at a high school and well, that's crap cause let's face it, some kids you wanna beat and that's not allowed anymore.

We're also looking into getting a VA loan to buy a house and that's worrying since not re-enlisting means a steady, reliable pay check is gone. I wonder if my father and his wife would want an extra hand on their horse stud ranch? I could buy a pair of miniature donkeys, some sweet bib overalls and an old primered Z-28 IROC. I think my wife would leave me though when it came to the Camaro... ugh, these decisions are aggravating.

People who post dumb content on Facebook make up 99.9% of its users.

I am better off without it; it's the AOL of the 21st century.

You must be friends with all those people who take pictures of themselves holding up essays saying "I AM THE 99%".

AW is the poster child for annoying metal fans so far.

You people ought to watch this. Absolutely stunning.

Indeed, I saw it around the time it was first posted on youtube. Really good stuff.

Of course.

Indeed.

I'm finally reading The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and yes, Stream from the Heavens is a wonderful accompaniment to it. It actually flirts with not working due to the depressive mood it generates not quite fitting the story, but it's sufficiently dreamy and otherworldly that it clicks well. I like it when things work out like this!

Did you know about 73% of statistics are made up on the spot?

Indeed, 14% of people know that.

I'm 99% sure AW666 is lame.

People who think facebook isn't helpful are being stupid. It's got a lot of negative points, but more positive ones overall.

Yes. Yes, his friends are the problem, I'm sure.

if people post dumb stuff, just hide them! My fbook isn't the most intellectual thing in the world but with all the annoying people hidden it's pretty neat.

Senmuth's "Divine Natural Awareness [DNA]" is too good. I want a whole album of songs like this, dammit.

Facebook isn't that bad. I cut a few hundred people, and now the stupid shit is kept to a minimum.

Or maybe, just maybe, he's the problem,

I'm not entirely sure what you expected from a guy whose username roughly translates to "The Devil's Root Beer."

I would've appreciated it more if you just had used "thanks captain obvious"

I am disappoint

I dislike Facebook, and I have my reasons for doing so.

I have used Facebook for 2 1/2 years, and have experienced a lot of self-promoting, narcissistic behavior on there. A lot of the people on it (whether you like it or not) like to use it as a platform for glamorizing their social lives (or lack thereof), whilst possessing a collection of thousands of faces they have never once exchanged messages with (and never will). For people who aren't very "social," looking at photos of other people showing them having a "good" time only wrecks one's own self-esteem, and makes them feel utterly worthless in comparison. It's those kinds of photos of people who look all "happy" and are shown meeting lots of people at an event, having crazy drinking parties, etc.

Many of the people I had added on Facebook in the past would usually ignore me, no matter how many times I would greet them. And instead they would turn around and keep spamming up their walls with stupid apps or TMI-quality posts that honestly no one cared about (unless you're a stalker). (I know there are some people who would respond to you almost all of the time, but sadly they are in the minority, and with millions of people on Facebook it's difficult to find the right person who actually gives a shit about you as a person first and foremost.)

On Facebook, the value of friendship seems to have been lost as it tends to lean more towards compiling a huge mass of random strangers rather than putting yourself out there to get to know each and every person you add a little better. This was my main gripe with MySpace, and since its demise Facebook is carrying the torch of social solitude onwards. To add more insult to the injury, people are getting out much less and they are spending more time trying to attract online attention (be it uploading a truckload of personal photos, embedding a thousand YouTube videos a day, or what have you).

Perhaps Facebook wouldn't be such a bad site at all if more of its users posted things that were the least bit interesting, as opposed to downright stupid wall posts like "i think pee smells like cheerios." And as for those who are saying it's more the problem of the people on there as opposed to the site itself, I rather like to think of Facebook as another online forum: if the community sucks for the most part, I am less likely to stay on there, no matter what "nifty" features are there.

Good riddance of that shit. I don't care if you still use Facebook, but regardless of what you try to convince me otherwise with I refuse to return to Facebook, out of disgust for that site. I don't have time to worry about that crap (same with what people here think of my views on it) because I have a life of my own to worry about, and that to me is the real deal of socializing.

Thank you for your strong, negative, unsolicited opinion.

Yeah, I'm not reading that. If you can't write one sentence worth reading, you can't write a dozen.

Guitars are bad, I've never met anyone who can do something good with one. No, it's not because I only associate with chumps who just want to use them to play "Wonderwall" to get laid.
