No... I just have such an intense hatred for him that he'll come alive and die again.

/has spent 3 days writing 600 words on a paper about one of Wordsworth's poems

If I could kill one already dead historical figure, I think it'd be Pol Pot.

He deserved it though. Romantic poetry ftl.

Romantic poetry is seriously the worst poetry ever.

At least Byron was cool. The whole let's have sex with everyone thing. Plus the poem I picked is something we had engraved on a skull he found in his yard and made into a cup.

Was it Wordsworth or Coleridge who was addicted to opium?

The Breakfast Club sucks.

I'm rooting for the principal.

The poets themselves might be cool, but their poetry is balls. Seriously.

I don't f[size=2]ucking[/size] care about,

"The landscape with the quiet of the sky.
The day is come when I again repose
Here, under this dark sycamore, and view
These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts,
Which at this season, with their unripe fruits,
Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves
‘Mid grove and copses."

srsly.

A couple poems were okay. Most weren't.

[QUOTE=Akira;13483629]That's quite good.[/QUOTE]

i wasn't anywhere in that video which is a shame because i could've made it better :p i hate the current bassist, she's the only reason they won't let me be in the statge band. i'm better because she's actually a trumpeteer and never plays the damn bass, and i practise every day. but the band conductor guy has been teaching her since year 2, which i still think is ufair that i don't even get a chance to try out..

anyway, my bitch is over :D

I have pretty much no shot of making it into jazz band until my senior year because there is a kid a grade above me who basically destroys the upright. So I know where you're coming from, except I do get to audition. It's basically a formality, he's too good not to get in.

Besides him I don't know how good the band is this year, I haven't heard them yet. It used to be crazy. This year we lost two of the best drummers in the state and they were replaced by a freshman (who is actually good, but not that good) and a sophmore (who isn't very good). Plus they lost one amazing trumpet player and one pretty good trumpet player.

you've never heard of Banjo Paterson?! *is shocked*

here is the (quote) "Most well known Australian song/poem of all time"

[B]Waltzing Matilda[/B]

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Along came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he set that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?".

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?".

Up jumped the swagman, leapt into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

[B]The words unfamiliar to non-Australians are:[/B]

[B]swagman [/B]
the Australian equivalent of a hobo; a swagman is a romanticised figure who travelled the country looking for work, usually sporting a hat hung with cork to ward off flies. The swagman's "swag" was his bundle of belongings.

[B]waltzing [/B]
derived from the German term auf der Walz, which means to travel while working as a craftsman and learn new techniques from other masters before returning home after three years and one day, a custom which is still in use today among carpenters.

[B]Matilda [/B]
a romantic term for a swagman's bundle. See below, "Waltzing Matilda."

[B]Waltzing Matilda [/B]
from the above terms, "to waltz Matilda" is to travel with a swag, that is, with all one's belongings on one's back wrapped in a blanket or cloth. The exact origins of the term "Matilda" are disputed; one fanciful derivation states that when swagmen met each other at their gatherings, there were rarely women to dance with. Nonetheless, they enjoyed a dance, and so they danced with their swags, which was given a woman's name. However, this appears to be influenced by the word "waltz", hence the introduction of dancing. It seems more likely that, as a swagman's only companion, the swag came to be personified as a woman.
Another explanation is that the term also derives from German immigrants. German soldiers commonly refered to their greatcoats as "Matilda" supposedly because the coat kept them as warm as a woman would. Early German immigrants who "went on the waltz" would wrap their belongings in their coat and took to calling it by the same name their soldiers had used.

[B]billabong [/B]
a stagnant pool found along the side of a river where eddies and directional changes of the water keep it from moving.

[B]coolibah tree [/B]
a kind of eucalyptus which grows near billabongs.

[B]jumbuck [/B]
a sheep. A "jombok" is a large, fluffy cloud that drifts across inland Australia. The Indigenous Australians, when they saw sheep for the first time, were reminded of jomboks and called them a similar word. An alternative explanation is that it is an Aboriginally pronounced "jump up."

[B]billy [/B]
a can for boiling water in, usu. 2-3 pints.

[B]tucker bag [/B]
a bag for carrying food ("tucker") in.

[B]troopers [/B]
policemen.
[B]
squatter [/B]
Australian squatters started as early farmers who raised livestock on land which they did not legally have the right to use, but in many cases later gained legal possession of it and became wealthy thanks to their large land holdings.


and i tell you i don't even know half of that **** until they jammed it down my throat and made us learn about banjo paterson.. those terms are all stale and haven't been used since 1914.

Yep, my australian uncle read some Hemingway to his kids, and I nearly burst out laughing.

Ryan, that poem is definitley not in English.

[QUOTE=User Name;13483685]I thought all Austarailians said that. :upset:[/QUOTE]

thats because of the fundamentalist australian bull**** you see on TV. aka, Steve Irwin.. no one actually talks like that except bogan's from the outback.

The funny part is, I've read that poem somewhere....

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13483711]Ryan, that poem is definitley not in English.[/QUOTE]

that's what i said :(


i don't even think i have an accent, no one talks Ocka anymore, except Irwin, and some bloody bumpkins who live in the middle of the simpson desert or Alice Springs..

Alice Springs is a hole in the middle of the desert basically.. they have a sand golf course for ****s sake.

and its full of drunken metho drinking abo's.



i actually live in a city and like to think i can be understood by other people in civilised society.

I always thought I didn't have an accent, but my west-coast residing USA friend said I do.
