Honestly—I feel like everyone treats me like Ned Flanders.😲 😁

stormyviper11 said:😲 😱 So, where's Đibo??? 😬

Honestly, Đibo can take my massive, thick *peeeeeep* any day.

A playlist for people who just can't stop apologizing:

1. REM – The Apologist
2. National – Baby We'll Be Fine
3. Sebadoh – Sorry
4. REM – So. Central Rain
5. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Thirsty Dog

...I had to cut Husker Du's "Sorry Somehow" from the lineup—it just didn't quite fit the vibe conceptually.😬

🤣

And here I was, thinking I was the last person left who couldn't quite figure out how to ride a bike—turns out, things are looking up 😬

The absolute gold standard for wasting a Wednesday night

1. Watching some mindless Champions League match while simultaneously tackling a mountain of laundry

the H is silent...ae 😁

elwuss said:The concert itself didn't really do it for me—but I’m definitely still interested in hearing the CD.

That’s easily fixed—it's practically child's play.

Modest Mouse—"Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe In"—is a bit of a toss-up. It’s one of those tracks that feels like a pendulum swinging between pure brilliance and total exhaustion—it really depends on which side of the swing you're on.

*Spills everything across the floor*

Here are the top 5 things bringing me some actual joy lately:

- getting some words down on paper
- those absolutely surreal dreams
- my even more eccentric group of friends
- emo music
- chocolate milk

🙂

Please... nobody finds the essays of the uneducated particularly worth quoting. 😈

🤣

Robin Booth said:I honestly can't wrap my head around anyone claiming Nueva Vulcano is better than Jawbreaker—unless, of course, they were joking.😁

Of course it was a joke... I mean, Blake is just one 😍

but Nueva Vulcano put on a killer show and their record is actually solid. Seriously.

gentlepuma20 said:I mean, those Spanish bands from before were decent enough—I remember one guy who was pretty easy on the eyes. 😬

New Vulcan 👋 👋 👋

(basically a Jawbreaker cover band that actually sounds better than the original 😬 )

boldscout72 said:That’s it. Pure chaos—evil, misery, and straight-up hell. 😁

Fair enough—but hey, at least you can finally hold your own in Italian now.😬

Brian Foster2 said:Who's going?

Of course not—not even close. 🙄

boldscout72 said:Sure, everything is just peachy—until you're forced to belt out Bastasse una Canzone in an Italian class. 🙂
Or until you have to deal with some gym teacher aiming a massive ring of keys right at your... well, you know. 😁

Chicagoan 😍 😍 😍

Sean Lee7 said:For me, the physical laws were absolute—I was an athlete, after all.

Well, I felt those "laws" quite acutely back when the girls held all the cards, 😁

back when every guy in town would suddenly be eager to grab a coffee or hit the pool hall with me. 😎

Man, my hands... I absolutely wrecked my back on them. Some idiot didn't set the strings up quite right—but hey, at least I landed exactly where I was supposed to 🙄

I actually had a thing for basketball and running, though... gymnastics? That was always my arch-enemy

🙂

4. Maple syrup

😍 😍 😍

ya:raan said:that gang was out last night smashing Budweiser bottles over the heads of those frat boys😬

😳

Good grief... I was pretty heavily medicated😬

Ponor said:What’s the point of music, then?

Well—it’s pretty much always playing in the background anyway, isn't it? 😳

Dead Carrot said:The style shifts once you move into translation. 😉

Exactly... though even subtle changes happen because the translator's voice—or just the mechanics of the target language—inevitably bleeds through. That’s why I’ll always lean toward quotes from the "original" work whenever possible.

Carol Jackson45 said:The most irritating women on the American music scene:
1. Microsoft
2. Divas
3. Ninas Badricas

Looking for one of their CDs? I can get you a deal—very cheap. 🤣

Hmm... I can't really judge someone's writing style through a translation. And since my French is non-existent, all I can say is that the translator did a decent enough job.
