[QUOTE=Bigbadbob]the only Memorabilia I have is the letter from the league suspending me for 9 months for "abuse of the official". :upset: So much for living on the edge. I miss the ol hockey days.[/QUOTE]
lol now that's a story to be proud of

good work, shame of the suspension.

dude! I've played hockey all my life and have never seen ANYONE suspended for 'abuse of the official'! Hell, I even WAS an official once, to make some dough...what on earth did you do to him?!

...........OR, he might have just punched him in the face.

....or he...

What started it was a vicious cross checked in the back, way behind the play ( i played goalie), so I turned around and dented the guys helmet with my stick. Totally understandable right? Of course the ref only saw me 2 hand my stick over the guys noodle so he gave me a 5 min high stick major. Go figure! And when I pointed out his mistake he had the gaul to give me a misconduct. Well now I'm upset. So as my defensemen are tring to hold me back, I give this "ref" a piece of my mind (see Dfelons post) which then he calmly skates over the scorers table and the scorer anounces that I've earned a game misconduct! Just a little embarrasing since it is regionals and we're playing at the big arena in Seattle and the top two teams (Alaska and L.A.) were playing right after us so there was a good size crowd. Well what happens next is what really gets me in trouble. Someone grabs me from behind and I swing my arm back to get em off and catch him, ever so slightly in the face. Turns out to be the linesman. Next annoucement is "gross misconduct". That was in March and I didnt play again till after Xmas. (on the B team no less).

So for future reference, on lyric challenges do you have to use the word in the song or can you write your lyrics about what the word means, because that's what I did.

I use to do the same thing but you only have to use it
It doesn't have to be the theme of your song

But what if it was the theme of your song?! :eek:

See the rules thread, #2. Song must contain topic word.

i'm debating on entering this ish

Well dont wait too long...we close this puppy today!!!

been kinda quiet this challenge all except for the funny hockey stories
hey k.s.e. maybe we can tell bootcamp stories next challenge ;-)

voting thread is up.

d0ped0g: I dont even listen to Linkin Park and I just get that vibe. You werent wearing your hat sideways with some big gold chains around your neck and movin' your hands back in forth in front of you when you wrote this were you? The text is all fine but...I dont know. Cant see any Rugby players going for this one.
[/QUOTE]
hmm that's funny because all your songs remind me of Linkin Park..
not necessarily a bad thing in my book but it doesn't seem like you like them..

Their 1st "big radio hit" a couple years ago was ok but I cant tolerate em. Maybe I'll re-read d0ped0g another day.

[QUOTE=6945]everyone please add Kevbud to the votes. late joiner but meh...no biggie[/QUOTE]hey srry i thought voting ended wedsday and then i checked tuesday and realize i needed to add in a song. so w/e i changed one of the words from an old song and put it in so much for being original.

Andd btw the thread is very random first there was some emo hatred and then rugby/hockey stories

Hockey stories rule!!! Wierd frat house lacross stories...meh

i would like to reiterate that i wrote that song in like all of two minutes and then dug it up and stuck it the challenge word. srry guys been busy.

If I were you kevbud, I would've waited for the next challenge with something decent and well thought out instead of a few meagre lines strung together.

you must be a fast typer or hat I believe over-exaggerating
how fast you write songs doesn't matter anyways it doesn't flatter anyone

it is always best to take your time and ponder on the way it sounds and how everything connects together and all the different ways it can be interpreted

anyways I think you put a little more time into it then you say you did cause I read it over and I liked it some parts are easily singable and it's one of those type songs that alot of people will think it was wrote for them anyways that's my thoughts not that it matters to anyone

[QUOTE=Corupt2057]hmm that's funny because all your songs remind me of Linkin Park..

he does make a point on the cliche appeal of the song, which i'm not going do deny, but linkin park does it in more of an angsty way. If anything, i'd compare my song to Staind's style... which isnt necessarily a good thing, even though that's what i was aiming for.

Some1 said that i should probably be more metaphorical than literal, and usually i would pursue that direction. Unfortunately if anybody's been in my situation of being emotionally overwhelmed, this is all i could come up with. I'm not sure which direction would work to my advantage better (girls are ignorant when it comes to songwriting)... but it's still being refined to make it less "in-your-face"

yeh i agree, don't want it too figurative so it goes over their heads. I don't think girls really care how good a writer is they just like the thought that goes into it towards them.

i rewrote my song... hopefully for the better

if there are any lines still in the song that shine out as being weak, is there any chance u can tell me, as I want to get it perfect (well not necessarily perfect, as i could still write a song leagues better... but more, flawless, if you understand the distinction i'm making between the two)

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]You are prejudiced against my song because you feel offended by it. You have to drop the bias and redo your vote. Also, I'm going to assume you are Christian because that was the religion that my piece touched on. You really should reread my song if you think it's offensive. One of the themes of the song is finding faith and God in places that aren't typical. If anything that's a fairly pro-Christian message. See, I just applied the images in ways they wouldn't normally fit with so as to accent the fact that the narrator is finding God in places nobody else can, like a moment where he's swimming underwater in his neighbor's pool with a naked girl.[/QUOTE]

Alright, I can see your point. I suppose misunderstood the meaning of some of it when I first read- and critiqued/ranked it- and I will revisit it. To tell you the truth, I read the "Holy Ghost is my stool" the wrong way... I don't fully understand why there can be no thought towards the meaning of the lyrics in the ranking process, but you are right, it is in the rules. Sorry about that.

I don't know what song your talking about I haven't read anyone's pieces yet except 6945's just because I wanted to see how he used the challenge word lol anyways I didn't know you were a girl not that it matters but it suprised cause your username is d0ped0g comes off as a tenn guys username to me for soem reason anyways
you talking about being emoionally overwhelmed blah blah if anything girls are more tied into their emotions and would rather hear lines that touch on emotions rather than conjuring up a metaphor to mask an emotion with pretty words "in-your-face" this is right girls are mean they can be a hell of alot meaner than guys can cause girls like I said are tied into their emotions very well if their made their going to be a cold heart bitch and not give a crap about how that makes anyone anyways maybe I should have read the song you are talking about before I said something because this reply probably sounds like it came straight out of left field anyways basically what I want to say is if your writing a song for yourself and you want women to relate to it then you need to play on their emotions with that "in-your-face" [color=white]sh[/color]it.. hell Avril Lavigne does it..
{goes back into left field}

[QUOTE=DFelon204409]
Haha, "holy ghost is my stool" sounds funny when thinking about stool as something in my bowels.[/QUOTE]
that the same exact thing I was thinking when I first read it I don't think its very flattering to your piece lol

By the by, when did LC get overrun with morons?
