I think a system is needed where points don't really matter. In fact, do away with them completely.

 

Just build a community were we all review each other's stories and give out tips to help each other. There's nothing like knowing that you've got five plus people who'll help you out.

This. I personally would love to see the WA return, and have it just be a friendly and helpful community.

I actually have little support for the LoA. I am not saying it's a bad group or anything, I just don't support it.

Frankly, it would die down so much faster if everyone stopped blogging about it. >.>

*delivers swift high-five*

--Mayno

Yes. That would be great.

By the way, Zar, aren't you flouncing a little?

--Mayno

I feel incredibly envious right now. :<

So if Denzel Washington is a Spy, then that would mean that the Book of Eli is really the intelligence.

It's in the 50s here.

 

IT'S WONDERFUL.

 

And it's cloudy...

 

<3

That is the best weather ever! :3 No seriously, that is the best kind.

Mine isn't like that, but it is pretty sweet. Man, we should all get together and make some sort of awesome club called "The Guys Who Got Nice Weather." B)

--Mayno

I think he needs another promotion. B)

I need that shirt. So much. I'd paid $20 easy for it. Brave, you are the boss man.

 

Xidash

Only $20? I'd pay thirty bucks for that.

I am going to go with 7, followed by 3 and 11, in that order.

Take the cotton from a species of cotton plant that grows only on a remote island of the cost of Australia and weave it on a magic nine-thousand year old loom that was enchanted by a mystic from Mesopotamia. The pattern that shall be weaved was designed by a Dragon known for her Bravery and Artistic skill. Only the Dragon's design is great enough to be weaved into such potent cloth.

The shirt produced from it shall then go on to win a contest on a website devoted to a terminated toyline. A worthy purpose.

In all seriousness I would totally by that shirt. In an instant. Good work, Brave Dragon.

Goodbye, Zar. I barely knew you, but it was good while it lasted.

Take it easy, man.

--Mayno

You know, I might actually try this.

Glad to see you are back, RM!

"Well, here's the thing. I'll probably post this quote, and it won't be put up, and thus, I will not be famous."

--Mayno

OK, sure, go for it. Mreh, I can't really stop people from recommending things to me, can I? It's just whether I take it up and have a look.

 

As for Iron and Wine, I haven't before, am listening now, on the video hosting site place thing. Heard 'Naked As We Come', 'Boy With A Coin' and 'Lion's Mane' so far. I've got to say, acoustic artists are not usually on the top of my list, because I usually don't find them exciting enough. This guy's got some great guitar and vocals though. I'll give him more of a listen, for sure. Any songs/albums you recommend in particular from him?

 

Alright! I just wanted to be sure, it is your blog after all and I don't want to mess it up. B) Anyway, the song is titled "Nothing Else Matters." I highly recommend listening to the Symphony & Metallica version of the song. It's really astounding. You could probably find it by searching something like "Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (S&M)." Hope you enjoy it if you do go and check it out.

I really love Iron and Wine. Probably one of my favorite artists. My personal favorite album is The Shepard's Dog. You'd probably prefer it because it has quite a lot less acoustic guitar, although he still stays true to his style, so it's quite good. My second favorite would probably have to be Our Endless Numbered Days, but that's got quite a lot of acoustic playing.

As for specific songs... I'd say it depends on a lot. His lyrics are so unique and completely open to a ton of interpretation by the listener. It's a matter of personal opinion, but I'd say that musically I really love "House By The Sea" but don't really care to much for my interpretation of the lyrics. The opposite is true with "Resurrection Fern", the lyrics to which I adore because of the meaning I take from them.

A good combination of the two would be "White Tooth Man." It has good music and I draw an interesting story from the lyrics.

Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts on all this! ^^

Which ones?

 

See the problem with BBC or any creative outlet forum (or the library) is that when I go there, I have to right a meaning full review, which takes time. Which I don't have very much of.

 

Not to mention the fact that most of my posts are well thought out and have a decent length.

 

--Mayno

 

Have you tried Lego General Discussion?

POSTS COUNT THERE?

Also, what did you spend it on?

--Mayno

This needs more attention.

Well, I am actually quite tempted to recommend a Metallica song despite your statement of no metal. See, when you say that it makes me want to recommend it to you even more. The song itself is got to be the least metal-ly Metallica song I can think of and it has a wonderful message (and awesome music). So, if you will allow me (and take SPIRIT's recomendation to be more open) I will recommend it too you.

As for other things... well, have you ever heard of Iron & Wine?

--Mayno

Go in the other forums.

You know, I first thought this was about my SS...

Until I saw the name "Romance Freak" and clicked the link.

My facial expression progress can be seen here:

(Hey, a guy can hope his Short Story is receiving more attention, can't he?)

So, is this person a relation of yours Froggy?

--Mayno

Awww Sue, yue trouble makker. B)

Not even ties?!

I have to agree with you for the most part, though.

--Mayno

It is obviously Gadjati. That's why he has inserted himself into Phy's BS01 Spotlight this week.

Makes sense, doesn't it? B)

--Mayno

Make a cheap MOC and call it your special.

Nuuuu. Dat is spamy.

I do post in every topic in GD and Sets. More than once in some cases. Perhaps I should venture futher out into the ether?

--Mayno

I miss Avatar. ;_;

And this makes me miss it more. Now every time I see Bunda, I'm going to miss it.

Can't wait till summer though! ^‿^

I have to say exactly what Chols has to say on this.

Go waste it on something stupid.

And how do you post so fast?! Seriously, I've been on here for two freaking years and I'm only around four hundred. It makes me sad. :<

--Mayno

I never knew the BLU Pyro dabbled in poetry, let alone had such talent.

I wonder if he/she/it will ever release more of he/she/it's work...

--Mayno

Darn it Chols! I saw that and almost used it...
