i like family guy as well.
i saw you liked poetry and write your own lyrics.
what genre are you more into?
well what a test... touche'

to be honest I don't know what specific genre I write at least, I just go with my emotion... Same with songwriting. I just write what I know, what I feel, see, etc...

Reading other people's poetry, I am partial to the Lyric genre (haha obviously) as this is the one I can most closely relate to in my own creativity. You?

ditto. I learned how to sight read in school but I can never put the playing and the reading together. It sucks sometimes, but I feel more connected to music when I'm just going with the flow versus something choppy and rehearsed.

I've played since I was a little girl. My whole family, they love music too. Most all of them play multiple instruments. most by ear as well.

you know most of the greatest artist were and those who are still alive are unable to read music.they play by ear.
i do understand what you mean by feeling closer to the music somehow when you play by ear.
it's kind of hard to put it into words.
In my family there is only my grandfather who write poetry the rest is common and boring still i love them!
i wonder where i get it from...

Your Status RE: Having Your Mind Blown

Office of Admissions, Despanan, January 28th 2010

Dear Ms. Amunet,

Thank you for your recent application to Despanan Brutally Shatters Your World-View and Destroys Everything You Hold Dear State. As you may know we have received a high volume of impressive applications this year, and have been very pleased with the overall quality of our applicants. This made admissions decisions even more difficult. After reviewing your application and consulting with our dean we have come to the following decision:

Unfortunately we will be unable to offer you a space in this year's incoming class. Please do not take this as a sign of your intelligence nor as a slight against your worthiness as an applicant, as we have had to turn away many fucktardedly stupid qualified perspectives. I would encourage you to continue to make insane claims, poor decisions, and attempt overall epic failures. Any questions you have are best addressed to our admissions office (though due to volume we are unable to comment on individual applicants), and you are certainly welcome to apply again in the future. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.

Best regards,

Despanan
Admissions Director

Dear Sir,

I am pleased at the news of your proscription to my application of membership to your exclusive 2010 class session. I was duly informed of the nature of said class and decided I desired no part of the insolence your instruction affects on its members.

I would also like to thank you for the time you took in reading my application. I have observed that while your apparent intellect is not usually questioned I would have to respectfully inquire reference your own claims of superiority as I have been given a generalized response and nothing that could remotely discredit my application to your program per section named "Common Sense," in the "Brutally-Shatters-Your-World-View-and-Destroys-Everything-You-Hold-Dear" qualification handbook.


Regardless, I wish you the best in all your future endeavors sir. May your applicant list dwindle away as you continue to hand out your contemptuous treatment of said applicants. It was a pleasure exchanging pointless banter with you.

Respectfully signed,

Ms. Amunet

Oh and...

The fact the fact that you're replying to a message that wasn't intended for you is tacky and desperate. If you don't like the content, don't read it. Because I don't believe it was addressed to you there sweetie.

RE: RE: Letter of Decline received January 28th, 2010

Dear Ms. Amunet

Thank you so much for your inquiry, and your continued interest in our "Verbally Bitchslapped Into Submission" program here at D.B.S.Y.W.V.A.D.E.Y.H.D. State. Normally, we cannot comment directly on individual applications, however, I am a bit embarrassed to admit that due to a clerical error, it seems that you have been mistakenly issued a rejection notice. While it is still true that we do not have room in our distinguished program at this time, your application was originally intended to be placed onto our "waiting list" cue, and if a spot does open up in the near future, we will most certainly extend an invitation to you as an incoming freshman.

On a personal note, I can sincerely say that I am very interested in your belief that by abstaining from voting, you have somehow entered a vote of "no confidence" in the United States government. This is the kind of fucktarded stupidity that we look for in future candidates at D.B.S.Y.W.V.A.D.E.Y.H.D. I applaud you for rationalizing your own laziness as a political stance, as if your absence was in some way an active protest, and not, simply an invitation for everyone in power to ignore your desires and the value you hold dear. In Robert's Rules of Order, an abstention does not remove one's voice from the debate at hand, rather it lends that voice to whichever way the majority happens to vote. Similarly, this is how your own actions are interpreted by those in power: "Do what you want, I don't care".

However, This alone would not be enough to gain you a chance at admission. What I find to be particularly exciting about your work is your callously air-headed approach to our complex political system. Sweeping generalizations based on nothing more than lazy prejudices such as:

Quote:
Politicians don't give a shit about you or I, our government doesn't give a shit, and it just feeds into everyone living like cattle. No one does shit to help anyone else
And Buzzwords:

Quote:
Politicians are not to be trusted. Ever.
They do not keep their promises, they do not care about the betterment of society. It's personal gain, power, money, authority, status
When all of these claims are easily dis-proven, by simply looking out the goddamn door and witnessing a functioning first-world nation filled with organized social programs, sanitation, and civil right and free speech legislation. If all of what you say about the nature of humans and politicians is true, we would be living in the dark ages. There would be no sanitation, there would be no school, there would be no class mobility or pell-grants, because all of these wonderful things the government does lead to a loss of control by the governing body.

If all one cares about is "personal gain, power, money, authority, status" You don't have a bill of rights, you don't create a system in which it is possible to peacefully remove the ruling party, not to mention if all politicians displayed these character traits, and only these character traits, as you have claimed, then Washington and every other world government would be entirely composed of nothing but those suffering from narcissistic anti-social personality disorders-- In short, a world ruled by people who would shiv you and take your stuff as soon as look at you.

The sheer stupidity and paranoia you are displaying is rapidly approaching Deadman level...but this isn't really what makes you a worthy candidate for our V.B.I.S. program. What really pushes this over the edge is the outright hypocracy displayed between the contrasting statements here:

Quote:
But like I said, no one wants to get their hands dirty, no one wants to correct the mistakes that have been made, so we end up in this shithole of a life because everyone is so goddamn apathetic.
and here

Quote:
... everyone here just takes it in the ass, and although I'm a fuckin champ, I'm not gonna let someone else dictate my behavior because they can't even control theirs.
Which is followed, but a paragraph later by:

Quote:
I don't vote. I don't give a shit about politics, because they have no value anymore, even though everyone likes to pretend that they still have a fucking say.
and:

Quote:
as for an alternative, I don't know honestly, I am one person, I don't know what to do, but I want to do something...
YOU ADMIT YOU ARE DOING NOTHING. You are actively bending over, and taking it in the ass, like a good little sheep. You're just acting angsty about it because you think somehow having that attitude makes you better than those who choose not to vote because they are lazy, or those who vote for stupid reason. It doesn't. It makes you worse. If you really believed what you said about politics and politicians was true, you'd be sitting in your basement, building a bomb right now. You would be plotting assasinations. You would be working towards a violent overthrow of the US government.

You're not, you're sitting on your ass with a guitar, and photoshopping glamor shots and affecting an air of sullen cynicism like any brooding fifteen year old.

I applaude you for this work- It certainly shows promise. Unfortunately, your grades simply weren't high enough to merit immediate acceptance. You've allowed yourself to be trolled to hell by the likes of Creature6 and you spent most of this thread getting your ass handed to you by PoS and JCC (A distinguished graduate of D.B.S.Y.W.V.A.D.E.Y.H.D.'s I might add) In fact, I suggest you take further classes with him from now on, and apply again in the future.

Many thanks and best of luck,

and that was the response I was looking for, finally, someone who gave me a reason why they believed what I saying was stupid. So thank you for that.

I actually had the pleasure of reading this just as I'm about to leave to go home for the evening. I really want to write back to this but I feel you deserve a well thought out answer and not something half assed in two minutes. I don't have a computer at home, so I will write back come monday morning. Despanan, thank you for not disappointing in your post, I promise you will not regret it oh teacher.........


ha. till Monday then everyone. Stay safe and warm.

Maybe I should have been more clear - I think that you shouldn't be able to actually see the politician (i.e. videos of them riding horses in an open field, pictures, etc.) or allow them to talk about their personal life, I think it should be a strictly business, no bullshit kind of thing.

So, for an example

Good: If I'm elected, I will do this, and this, and this. I also will not do this, or this, and I will change this.

Bad: I was born on a farm in Tennessee, I eat beans out of a can and I look very handsome. I also am a Christian. The other guy is none of these things, so vote for me, because I 'get you'.

Right, I'm not saying that not being able to see a candidate would stop that, I'm saying we should have laws to stop that in addition to not being able to see them.

Okay, so you're suggesting that we make it so, we can't see them, we can't hear them, and they can't communicate with us on any level other than listing off their names and policies?
