@FeralChildBuff shit I am rambling at this point, but you touched on a very real point my interwebs shenanigans aim to point out; YES, there are still people like that in the world. I seek to impersonate their mentality as a reminder... We're still very far from the unobtainable utopia we'd all love to live in. My actions are intended to serve as a reminder and a hint that we seem to be moving further from peace and love... We're practically sprinting away from compassion and understanding.

@FeralChildBuff word. You haven't offended me in the slightest, nor am I hard on myself for any of this, just felt like being real for a moment to offer some clarification. It's just a game, it's all just play in the best sort of fun. We live in very interesting times and most of us are just observers, some cynical, some optimistic, some clueless, some a blissful mix of it all. But yes, in the grand scheme all we're all just dust in the wind. Our doom is our own, the universe will continue.

@Baxxter101 Sorry bro, didn't mean to offend; Live and Let Live. Let's just chill out and listen to Ani. We're all the same children of mama earth and papa time. Don't be so hard on yourself, At the very least - you're giving people free entertainment, the same people who feed trolls could technically be doing something harmful to others or themselves instead of just farting around on the net. You're a martyr of sorts. Just think about in the grand scale of things... we're just dust in the wind.

@FeralChildBuff also, it is true, I have, on the surface, become just another "internet fucktard." A product of years of self imposed isolation, total anonymity, and an overly sarcastic sense of humor and criticism. My sole goal, 90% of the time, is to cause facepalms or lols. It is a deeply philosophical mode of living rooted in the otherwise almost unbearable realities of living in a world of such profoundly squandered human possibility and potential. It is a reaction to our shared doom.

@FeralChildBuff *wink*wink* *nudge*nudge* correct!!!! I was (and still am) 100% serious. I hate things I do not understand, and I certainly do not see or appreciate any artistic, creative or innovative merits in things I do not like or understand. Nor do I try... Because I'm not even curious. TV shows me who I am supposed to be and what I am supposed to purchase and adore, and those things DAMN SURE aren't hippy bullshit!(hows that for a facepalm?)

FeralChildBuff (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

@Baxxter101 Wow, that response coincided with my previous comment SO much I thought you were being sarcastic and I was like "heh, good one!" but then I realized you were serious and I was like "::sigh:: there's still people like this in the world, huh?" Congrats on helping free thinkers lose faith in humanity bud! You can't really think for yourself or speak from the heart but at least you're ace at making people "*facepalm*" on the internet, isn't that what existence is all about nowaday?

@DavoSpice lolol! most emo kids dont even know what emo means. I'll explain it for the children, EMO is short-hand for EMOTIONAL MUSIC... in other words, music with PASSION... Which is not unique to a genre, or a time period, or a style... So yeah I guess this is "emo"... But so was every good musician EVER... Without passion you have pop... Spears and Gaga and the like... fuck 'em. fuck a genre, fuck it all. If you like it, its good. if not, dont try to denounce it based on labels.

@FeralChildBuff sounds like some hippy bullshit to me... :-p
