Hi guys! I thought we'd have a Social thread for all the wordsmiths in these here parts. We can talk and bullshit and generally have a grande ole time.:)

Man, world of warcraft is addicting. Goddamn.
 
oh god haha, ur telling me. Man i was more addicted to WoW than i am to opiates. I can go a day with nodding. But i couldnt with World of warcraft. I remember in my peak in 9th grade if you tried to take it away from me I would have stabbed you.

Wasted 4 years of my life into that game. not that i regret it much, i had fun. Quit in like may ... still need to sell my account.


At 1 point I was the 4th best geared ret pally on the server /flex


the new xpac does look cool though with the new races and such, but last thing i need is to add that addiction back to my mounting list of current vices

ok now im stopping with the nerd talk
 
Too many doses said:
I was always a counter strike nerd when it comes to computer games, although I'm an overall videogame nerd so I played WoW for a while aswell. MMORPGs ftw.
Click to expand...

yea video games are great to, got a wii 2 days ago.. been messin with that alot.

Anything that gets you into a alternate universe where your real life issues dont matter is great.
 
I wish I was into video games / had money to pay for them...

When I'm bored I just float around the internet

or write!!
 
A few years ago I decided that instead of putting all of this energy into video games, I should be learning poker. It doesn't quite have the same graphics...but I think its actually cheaper.
 
I'd have to agree, actually. Unless you play poker like I do. Which is horribly.:(
 
lol, maybe some books would help..if you're even interested. The cool thing about poker is that on the surface it is very simple, but at it's heart it is infinitely complex.
 
Sounds good, actually. I should pick up a poker book or two. Maybe of the Hoyle variety. Better than losing money.:D
 
I always thought those books were shams as I figured card counting was what most good players did, then the whole Texas hold em thing caught on and I realized damn people can actually have skill in cards. I wish I made money in a cool way like that.
 
I can play basic texas hold em, have always wanted to better myself at the game.
 
^^you can play free games and win money (..not very much..) on all of the major poker sites. These are called freerolls and are a great way to start. As for books on tournaments, the 3 part series by Dan Harrington is regarded as the best available. The Slansky book on no-limit is a great cash game book.
 
cheers, i think i'll actually keep an eye out for that name next bookstore i find myself in.
 
Does anyone else like being discontent? It's no bed of roses, but people ask you how you're doing, and it pushes one to do things. Also, it gives me material for my poetry comes. Anyone else?
 
^Man, you almost took the words out of my mouth: "it gives me material for my poetry." For me, discontentment is the key to my creativity. I think lately there's been a proliferation of the myth that good writing comes from happy people - but that's just because mainstream (i.e. boring) writers put out essays on how to write, and not the underground poets. Realistically, poetry comes from darkness, from pain and suffering, from one's demons and the way they do not cope with them.

For me, poetry comes from despair over lost lovers, anxiety, drug addiction, anger and suicidal pessimism. The positive stuff I keep for conversation and amusing myself. Poetry, specifically, is a dark, dark art.

The suicide rate among poets is astounding...

I'd love for someone to disagree with me on all this ;)
 
^^i agree there is some happy poetry but mostly not as far as ive seen. im more of a philosophy guy but same goes for that most dont want to sit around and contemplate happiness it seems.
 
I tend to like the positive stuff. But I'm an eternal optimist so go figure.
 
I would say it's one part belief in universal wholeness/duality and the attitude that life is a subjective experience of energy (IE it can be viewed as meaning nothing or everything)........and three parts dumb luck. My astrological signs and childhood set me up perfectly..lol
 
I like it...

The idea of a etymologists' easy chair...A linguistics lounge.....

My name is Crash-actual nickname IRL.I used to use a handle like "Crash N Burn"-but as age will do,I have found that Crash n Learn,is more suiting to me these days.I have crashed-many times-6 cars by 29...but after the last,which should have snuffed out my light,for what I was just another tiny flame amongst a million others.So at 31 i decided each crash,I would learn...and I have.
I am a writer,artist,photographer,philosopher,thinker,seeker,intellectual,doubter,believer,(disbelieving-above all)open minded,talented,attractive,driven,woman-but something went wrong....and I feel l lost.I am lost.

I lurk here amongst you beautiful minds and I laugh at the uncanny thoughts mirror my own.

I will not digress further,at least not at this time,I just wanted to say hello and hope to see this thread grow.

........................................Crash
