It's official - I am a sad, lonely geek

You've brought a nice symmetry to the thread there, PM.

Relationship

1. the state of being connected or related
2. association by blood or marriage; kinship
3. the mutual dealings, connections or feelings that that exist between two parties, countries, people etc. a business relationship
4. An emotional or sexual affair or liaison.
5. Maths - another name for relation.

(According to Collins)

I don't think that cluster of definitions offers anything authoritative as to the use of the word. The primary definition hinges on the words 'connected' and 'related', which could both be used on a whole spectrum of intensity. So I guess it all depends on the context.

Mate, it's only out of morbid curiosity that I give my blessing to this project, but sure, knock yourself out.

In that case, I claim full copyright ownership of the verse posted above by me.

I am in Nashville, so brace yourself!

Well that's reassuring. Still, I'd better make sure I have an alibi for the time the lyrics were written.

The sad thing is, I imagine the ashtrays were malformed and charmless as well.

03:18 / 03.03.04

But they did collect ash, right? So they were functional, and there's nothing particularly wrong about a malformed and charmless yet functional object.

At least, that's how my wife continues to reassure me...

Oh, c'mon, Fly, he's not a homophobe. See the posts above. Several times, he's told us he's got a really big dick. How clever, eh? Well done.

My previous post here wasn't an attempt to insult you 40%, i'm just thinking that you would heal faster if you let it go. Sometimes it's only when you leave things alone that you eventually get a better perspective.

I don't think this is doing you any good keeping this thread alive. If the whole thing is still bugging you so much, go back to the first post and slowly read through the whole thread again. Slowly. Then turn off the computer for a couple of hours, try meditating on it and then see where you are.

I think 40% is well on the way to learning everything this thread has to teach. If it can be distilled:

- Other people think way differently to you.

- Your experience of the world may be way different to the world itself.

- Any communication only receives meaning to other people upon their interpretation, so make sure you reduce as many ambiguities as possible.

Well, I've set it aside to work on more pressing projects, like trying to drink more heavily. Nonetheless, you can rest assured that I will return to this song-writing project as soon as I'm drunk enough. Or if I can score some primo crack. I'm trying the police auctions. They're online, now, you know. As soon as they've finished using the crack as evidence, it goes to the highest bidder like on eBay. It's OK that I registered with your name, right?

grow some nuts

You seem convinced that the solution is more testicles. I'm not seeing how overwrought emotional situations can be clarified with more testosterone and jizz.
Also, I usually wear my gonads on the inside; does that count? They are, as far as I know, fully grown. But with less jizz.

The moral of the story?

If you call your thread "It's official - I am a sad, lonely geek", expect people to treat you like a sad & lonely geek.

People suck really.

Olulabelle

08:34 / 04.03.04

So if I start a thread called 'It's official, I rock, I am wonderful and cool and everyone likes me', do you think it will get filled up with posts saying, "Yeay, we agree?"

No, it would get filled up with people saying, "Your head is very big and you don't rock in the slightest."

Hmmm. I suppose therein lies your point.

People do suck really.

Cat Chant

09:10 / 04.03.04

Olulabelle - I say you nay! Behold the happy thread, which is full of people beinng pleased with themselves and each other.

Though it is very far down the thread list atm, trailing the miserable thread, the headsick/rage thread and this abomination. I shall go and bump it up.

gridley

12:48 / 04.03.04

Oulabelle, you apparently weren't around for the "Captain Zoom is a brilliant fucking god" thread, eh?

I'm happy to say that in that instance, we all happily volunteered our confirmations to his declaration.

So, get down with your "It's official, I rock" thread. I for one, promise to sincerely agree and offer interesting anecdotes about ways in which you do in fact rock.

i rerock

No, no, no. You can't RE-rock. You can only rock or not rock.

Gridley I don't believe you about my 'I rock' thread. You could in fact be tricking me into starting it in order to mock me within it once I have.

And although Deva's lovely happy thread is nice it's primarily only people being nice to themselves rather than each other.

Therein, I suppose, proving the point still more that people do suck really.

"No, no, no. You can't RE-rock. You can only rock or not rock"

Why do people keep talking about Crack? Is it a Freudian thing?

---

15:26 / 04.03.04

Freudian?

Freud is more accepted in education simply because Jung's ideas where more enlightening and the order police CRACKED down on it.

Can't have the sheep experiencing Individuation, they might start experiencing freedom from conditioning at the same time and also oneness with archetypes that help them to relate to the world in a more positive manner.

Yes, hand out Freud in the psychology classes, but not Jung, oh no.

And please don't tell me "I got taught Jung in college", i'm talking about which psychologist is taught and referenced the MOST in collages and universities overall. Psychology had the potential to effect major change but no, they had to focus on fucking complexes, regression and downright fucking rubbish........

I'm sorry, it's a sore point.

No offence, dude, but if your psychology course didn't mention Jung, you probably need to get your money back...

15:46 / 04.03.04

No offence, dude, but if your psychology course didn't mention Jung, you probably need to get your money back...

I did GCSE psychology for a while and after asking if we were going to be learning about Jung i got told no.

I know that Frued is taught more than Jung at GCSE and a level, i just know.

Obviously at University things will be better though, but i didn't have enough fucking 'GCSE'S' or 'A Level' grades to get in. I was one of the vulgar.

Fuck em. I can learn more outside of a University than i could ever hope to learn in one.

Screw Univeristy, just graduate from the University of life

"Screw Univeristy, just graduate from the University of life"

i'm not sure that will be adequate for meeting the requirements of all types of employment

i have a degree from the institution and am routinely referred to as "underqualified"

and not just in a sexual sense
