aaand, I was just trying to clear things up.

I'm sorry for people who didn't catch the allusion. You are correct DFelon, it's not an allusion to Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy (most people don't even know that it's from Hamlet) but it's not "esoteric and trivial". It's from Hamlet's first 'longer line' (if you will) speaking with his mother, and the emotion is clear.
The stanza in which the 'seems' quote is, is not undecipherable without knowing where that came from. I'm pretty sure it makes sense. Sorry if you don't get it.

It doesn't make sense if you haven't brushed up on Hamlet because you are using it verbatim and out of his Old English context. If you had changed it to "I know not 'seems'" it would make a bit more sense, but it would still look and sound wrong in the context of a piece written in today's English.

In other words, it doesn't work for me.

I'm agreeing with Subtle. I got the reference but the context doesn't really add to the point of it. And i also get what Dfelon means, just thought Hamlet was a bit of a bad choice to illustrate it :D

/has never read Hamlet, or any part of it.

You mentioned not being from an English-speaking country.

Where are you from, then? France? Germany?

I'm a lot closer than that... heh heh

OIC... then latin american, I guess. :D

:lol:

Anyway I don't think he's Canadian.

Canadian MXers are very proud and mention it every possible second.

even CLOSER...

I'm from Quebec.

So you're fake French or fake Canadian?

When do we have to vote by?

oic.

Because I though all the canadian people were like "LOOK AT ME I'M CANADIAN, I LOVE HOCKEY".

It's good to see an exception. :D

[QUOTE=Dancin' Man]So you're fake French or fake Canadian?[/QUOTE]

Is that fake humor or fake stupidity?

I hate hockey anyway, and I have nothing but utter contempt for patriotism; I'll never be "proud" of my country. I hate cold weather, snow, and all the **** we get in winter, although it IS fun to walk outside when freezing rain just fell, as everything is even more slippery than hockey ice.

Ha, I wished I had snow here. Bloody desertic America.

It has a lot of falacies about Jesus and Christianity but it's fun to get there?

Yeah. I'm thinking of MIT for college. Maybe.

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]Ha, I wished I had snow here. Bloody desertic America.[/QUOTE]

I wish I lived in a desert. (With a pool.

and infinite food.)

Snow gets tiring real quick if you're not into skiing/snowboard like everyone and their mother here. Though I might discover a new fun with snow this winter, if me and my stoner friends are into having snowball fights and building fortresses under the influence of, well, yeah.

Yeah, so i was walking down the interweb, minding my own business when i bumped into Strum...

To cut a long story short, there was an accident with the Banaxe and now i can't edit my "voting" post.

Is it ok to post another voting post in there and when do i have to vote by?

Thanks

For some reason, Conor Oberst reminds me of Burt. He has that crazy smile too. :)

yeah Burt looks like Matt Bellamy from Muse, too. We all know Burt likes to cry to Bright Eyes and attempts to sing like Matt in secret, though.

I've been told I look like a lot of people. Rarely singers though, usually like Orlando Bloom or Tom Cruise or something.

Subtle the modest mod :p

Can i also have a few pointers on my piece from you ?

thanks

man i'd hate to look like Orlando Bloom... mainly because so many chicks find him hot, and he doesnt have anything masculine about him

plus, what's with him and his bow! ****ing grab a sword and chop some heads off you little *****. Man it must be easy to kill people from a safe distance, you fag. Sure you got aim, but you aint exactly risking your life.

His name is the same as mine. But I'm not as hot as he is.

I wish I were hot. :upset:

Or at least write something good sometime.

I thought every area where something was in italics came off as melodramatic/annoyingly angsty. The ending line is also really really bad.

I meant those lines thto come across as venomously emphasised but i get what you mean. The last line is something most people that critiqued it in the main forum picked up on and it's the first thing i'll be changing.

Thank you.

I'm such a nerd for saying this, but it's a book. Plus in the third movie (which I've only seen one time), he climbs those elephant things.

"First off, your use of rhyme is not becoming of you."

Dancin' Man wrote this about my lyrics... See, I'm not English-speaking. So while it doesn't show in vocabulary, I can't understand some of your expressions and sentence subtlenesses.

To cut it short: what does he mean? I don't have a clue.

You suck at rhyming. :D

That has a lot more to do with your scientology and desire to stick people half your age.

yeah i know its a book and he's just playing a part... but trust him to be the fag elf that has to shoot a ***** arrow at someone rather than being a man and driving cold steel through their bodies and tearing them apart. Just like in Troy, when he sees archilles and brad pitt starts walking towards him while hes shooting him in the ****ing chest with arrows... what a ***** way to take someone down, its hardly dramatic. Brad Pitt is just like "yeah man, its gonna take more of those to get me on the ground... fagg0t".

i'll stop ranting about my hatred for orlando bloom now... but i cant think of something else worth talking about
