Don't punks do this a lot?

― Damian (Damian), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, they do. but i'm talking about the kind of people who fork out heaps of money for clothes that everyone else on campus has as well. all subcultures have some kind of "uniform", some subcultures just happen to be annoyingly prevalent.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

There are lots of speights t-shirts at our uni, it's very annoying.

At first I thought you meant people who never change their clothes and when I saw the punks comment I still did BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM DON'T!!!

clothes are unimportant. people tend to die naked. oh yeah, speaking of which, in approximately seventy to eighty years, the world will become so overly populated to where you'd ask yourself "why do people fuck like rabbits?". try reading the kurt vonnegut short story of welcome to the monkey house. sex is truly unethical and the kennedys have multiplied to marvelous proportions in statuettes. killing yourself wouldn't make the population thermometer go down a freakin' inch. but clothes don't matter when the population of your earth is down to one; the choices are fuckin limitless.

did you hear jonathan franzen talking about this on national radio w/ kim hill - the only good observation in an otherwise dull but fraught interview?

nope, i didn't. hey you should come on AIM clare.

I'd be pretty shocked if I died naked. In the shower would be an ok location, I suppose.

as long as there were violins screeching. it wouldn't be scarey otherwise.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 May 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Then go on. Do it. Who's stopping you? Nothing is; although you can't really come back to say how it's like being dead to a live person. The only reason that you should be living for is the fact that death means that you don't have an afterlife. You're just put down to obscurity afterwards, a corpse in the dust. I can care less either way; it's not like me to accept defeat so easily. Kill yourself and the world's burden is reduced by one person.

― Lynch (Lynch), Monday, 19 May 2003 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

How do you know that one person isn't a part of the cure to the earth's burden? Perhaps the solution to our problems lies in the mind of some wanker who killed himself years ago because he thought he was unimportant. Living your life without meaning will only lead to an eternity of meaningless.

But angst does give way to a lot of pretty poetry, doesn't it?

did anyone watch that autopsy on channel 4 a few months back? speaking of death and nakedness...

― jonathan gittins (nevermind^), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I have an email friend who was in the VERY ROOM as it was performed, though I haven't seen it. Aren't you impressed?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm impressed that there was blood, chaos, and mayhem all underneath a scapel in the same room. But don't mind me, i'm nothing but a sick bastard. Anyway, you're never sure of the earth's burden. We're not allowed to know. we could only guess and see what IS the burden before we all die not knowing.

― Lynch (Lynch), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Earth's burden may not be written in stone, but all you have to do is look at the world around you, and see what emotions it provokes. Then take a moment, and figure out where the emotions stems from. Are they based solely on self-interest, or the interest of all? Although it's important to take care of yourself, when this instinct becomes too strong and begins to take over an entire population, that's when we are all in trouble. Personally, I felt like I understood the earth's burden best after watching the film Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance. If you see this film at the video store, or anywhere, pick it up, sit down and take the time to watch it. It's only 80 minutes long, there's no dialogue telling you what to think, just amazing visuals of the world around you, presented with time-lapse photography. If what you see doesn't strike you as a sign of what the earth's burden is, then you aren't paying attention. This should be required viewing in school.

― The Man they call Dan (The Man they call Dan), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah

― ducklingmonster, Tuesday, 20 May 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan, understand this: People contribute to burden. It's only amplified because there's too many god damn people that exist. Aside from that, most of the world that's around you is totally capitalist--survival of the richest and smartest (although you have to know how to play the game around you, varying on where you live.)
My answer is simple: The less people there are, the less of a burden we have to face. It doesn't necessarily indicate that we should revert back to our barbarian ways, long, long ago. We just need less people; namely less people who are incompetent to roam the earth.

obligatory: you must be a blast at parties.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 06:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a compliment.

Cheer up, Lynch... you know what they say...
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing your life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle,
And this'll help things turn out for the best,
And.....

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistling]

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistling]

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistling]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistling]

Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistling]

You see? It's the end of the post!

ya they stink somtimes but lets not discriminate it might just be they are poor but still fuck them for smelling anyway

― jesse west, Monday, 2 June 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i really hate those OCOU hoodies. every second person at university wears one. what is it, like, some hall of residence? come on, retards, i had the dignity to be EMBARASSED about living in a hall of residence, those things are jail cells at hotel prices. with the little prison uniforms to go with, seemingly.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

My mum's gonna make me live in a hall of residence the first year I'm a Uni. It's either that or live w/ my Nana though.

― Livvie Tapper (Livvie), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 02:45 (twenty-two years ago)

AT Uni, obviously.

― Livvie Tapper (Livvie), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

you mean she's going to try! when you leave home, she can't make you do anything. well i hope not, anyway.

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

should i be encouraging teenage rebellion?

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

If "teenage rebellion" fucks up my life, I'll blame you! Anyway if I live in a hall of residence my parents will pay for it, so I guess she can make me go that way.

― Livvie (Livvie), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 05:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i'd totally live with my nana (if they werent both dead).
that sounds like the makings of a half hour of HILARIOUS MAD CAP ANTICS every week at 7:30.

we're the original odd-couple!

― webber (webber), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

My Nana's only comedy moment of her life so far: drawing a rectangle during pictionary when the card quite clearly said "triangle". She didn't understand her mistake even when it was pointed out to her.

― Livvie (Livvie), Tuesday, 3 June 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

that's where the canned laughter comes in

and then you punch her in the cunt

― webber (webber), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 00:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I'd be allowed to live there any more after that, it would bring the show to a pretty abrupt end.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!
