QUOTE(bondiguy)

fuck it... you'll get it like it or not....

SHORT OF EXPECTATION
All I’ll leave is memories,
Images of ennui.
A one point five out of three
Give it life and let it breathe.

The more I try the more I fail
Eyes bloodshot, my skin is pale,
I need a fix so make the sale.
A pinnacle, a height, a snail.

Turn around and look right back
Will you take a look at that?
Somehow I turned more white to black.
No hints, no tricks, no magic act.

QUOTE(Bobaloo)

I love the word ennui. saying it just makes you sound like an upper class likeable snob. It's great.
here's where they mention the word in the simpsons...

Frenchman: Come, stranger, join our circle of infamy. Tell us
your story of ennui.
Homer: Well, back on land my name was ... Homer Simpson ...
and I guess it is here, too. I promised my dad one
of my kidneys, but I chickened out on the last
minute and left him on his death bed. [everyone
immediately stops what they were doing, shocked]
Card Guy: Good lord!
Woman: Oh, how could you?
Englishman: I think I'm going to be sick.
Frenchman: I stole this accordion from a blind monkey, but you
... ugh! You disgust even me!

I had to check to make sure I was even pronouncing it right.

trust bondi to sneak in a simpsons reference

ever thought of putting your poetry to music, since you do both?

I first came across the word whilst listening to Secret Samadhi album by Live back in high school. I fell in love with it then and there. I wrote that a few years ago. It still is a fav though

I cant believe you remembered it was used in the Simpsons, even i didn't know that! :blink:

Some of it I have put to music and some of it I have just left as is. WHen I put it to music I usually add to it, or strip it back, or alter it someway to sound more melodic and less poetic

first time I heard the word and actually looked it up was in the movie "simple twist of fate" Great lazy Sunday movie. it's based on a book titled Silas Marner. Great book. It's a book that's just a good, heart-warming story. very enjoyable and quick to read.

I remembered it was in the simpsons cuz that word just sticks out any time I hear it. I obviously had to look it up to remember exactly where it came from.

it's tricky to take something that is poetry and just slap music to it. It can completely change the mood of what you're trying to do, but the right "mood music" can really be completely wrong as a song. Elton John and Bernie Taupin are geniuses

I'm more of a visual arts person, but much respect to a person who can write poetry or musical lyrics that doesn't sound corny or clichéd.

It certainly is hard to accompany lyrics with music and not change the mood of it all!

See I suck at visual arts and I am much more adept to writing and music etc. My biggest worry when I write anything is that is souns either corny or cliched and I have ripped up alot of shit I thought was leaning that way

i've been busy. It's nice to get on here and cut up a little. I don't do it often.

I did go to a wedding this past weekend...and not my own. I was out of control and loved it. My date wasn't there either.

ONE WAY©

Sometimes I am ugly
Sometimes I am hot
Sometimes I’m poetic
Sometimes I am not
Sometimes I will lead
Sometimes I will follow
Sometimes I am nice
Sometimes it is hollow.

Sometimes I will flutter
Sometimes I will soar
Sometimes I’m electric
Sometimes I’m a bore
Sometimes I’m ambivalent
Although I’m not sure.

I have a weird belief system on aliens and UFOs. I believe in other life forms living outside of planet Earth but I do not believe in the thousands of UFO sightings, here's why:

Firstly it would be naive to think we are the only intelligent life forms in the universe. There have got to be countless others. The Universe' size is beyond our comprehension so we are undoubtedlt the only ones living in it. I often kick back and wonder where these other civilisations are. Are they more advanced than us, or less? etc

Why I dont believe in UFOs. Hollywood has us all believing that aliens are far superior in their technology and intelligence than us? WHo really knows? People who claim to have seen or been abducted by UFOs always seem to be crackpots from the Midwest of USA. WHy do the aliens visit only the USA and not countries like Australia? China? England? etc. With all our surveillence technology I think it is time that some irrefutable evidence is shown. Otherwise I'll still believe that our planted has just not been visited by other life forms yet

I gotta agree, all that crop circle nonsense, no chance, the fact that somewhere in the universe there are some other beings with at least a small amount of self awareness, almost definitely. We know a tiny fraction of an amount of our galaxy and there are at least thoushands more that we are aware of, its just a superioty complex to think we are alone

Do aliens exist? almost certainly. Have they visited Earth? Maybe. Do people spot real UFO's 6000 times a year? doubtful.
most people who claim alien abductions are probably smoking too much DMT.
