Have you ever tried something that you weren't completely comfortable with?
I have. Most recently it was Ebonics, the language of the hip-hop nation.
This has been something I've been meaning to get a little more into. Don't get me wrong, I throw the occasional "yo" into a conversation.
I sometimes refer to friends as "my boys", but recently Ebonics has taken a turn for the worse. By worse I mean difficult.
No matter how classy you think you are, you know who Snoop Doggy Dogg is.
I'm not sure if he founded the "fo shizzle" outbreak or not, but he DID bring it to the mainstream where I swim.
I want to be hip. I want to be cool. I want to say fo shizzle instead of for sure.
I guess you can change any word to make it end with "izzle" or maybe just throw the "iz" in there somewhere. Go ahead, give it a go.
RANDOM PERSON: you going to the fine arts exhibit tonight?
YOU: fo shizzle (for sure)
The izzle craze is catching on and it's catching on fast. Words once so boring like, street, become strizzeet. Much cooler you see.
After my workout yesterday I called a girl who is a few years younger than I am. We were planning to go out and I get the sense she sees me as an old man.
I mean, I have a professional career, a nice apartment and pay my bills. These are all things that younger girls coin as "not cool". Maybe not the apartment thing, but you get the idea.
I had to make the call. I had to come across as young, rebellious, and interesting.
I would use Ebonics!
I am aware that she will ask what I was doing. How can I turn going to the gym into something rebellious and interesting?
Ebonics! That's how, stupid.
JILL: Hey, what's up?
ME: Not much baby.'
JILL: What are you doing?
ME: Well, I just cizzame from the gizzum.
*Did I just say jism, I thought. I think I did! Maybe she didn't catch it!*
JILL: Did you just say jism?
ME: ummm....
JILL: *click*
Anyways, I ended up watching the Academy Awards by myself. Brokeback Mountain got ROBBED!
The moral of the story is be yourself. Don't try to be like Snoop D O DOUBLE G.

Girls go right by me? I am fucking married, moron. If you are going to read my blog, outstading specimen of blogging that it is (http://icantsurf.blogspot.com) , you should dig a little deeper for insults, buddy. I would have ridiculed me for alcoholism and cocaine addiction or my rampant socialism if I were you...

content is what i please my friend. you see, its simple. i post about whatever i want, and converse and argue however i want.
"thicker skin" like my feelings get hurt by the reviews! this is a website! its fun to argue with the people on here. its all in fun to me.
the reviews people write on this site are funnier than most of the posts.
its just like in social settings, if somebody brings up a point and you dont agree. you dont just nod your head, do you?
i dont, i talk about how i feel about it. and they talk about how they feel about it and boom, its a conversation.
==
I don't think that poorly spelled rants whose sole and specific point of refutation is the frequent use of exclamation points, caps, carriage returns, and/or the word "retarded" qualify as conversation or even an argument. Maybe "trolling" or "hissyfit" would be more accurate?
Here, let me show you.
Me: I think Billy Madison is the best movie ever made.
Wife: I disagree. I think The Princess Bride was the best movie ever made.
Me: Retard!! Aparintly you're to RETARDED to understand that any movee that involvs a drunk guy chasing a pengwin in a GOLD CART is just the COOLEST THING EVER!!! RU RETARDED OR DIDU FORTET THAT SEEN?! If you werent so RETARDEDLY female you might understand that!!!1
RETARD!!!!!!
Wife: ... You do realize I have to divorce you now.

Ha Ha, I had to look up Godwin's Law too
"Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an adage in Internet culture originated by Mike Godwin on Usenet in 1990 that states:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread in which the comment was posted is over and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress."
also thanks to Wikipedia
I also found dis here great site, where da logo came from, dat translates normal english ta ebonix! sho 'nuff!
Oh dear.. irish people weren't supposed to speak ebonically...(I made a new word!).. my head hurts..

Godwin's Law does not dispute whether, in a particular instance, a reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be apt.
It is precisely because such a reference or comparison may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued, that hyperbolic overuse of the Hitler/Nazi comparison should be avoided.
Avoiding such hyperbole, he argues, is a way of ensuring that when valid comparisons to Hitler or Nazis are made, such comparisons have the appropriate impact.

If you have 100 reviews and 83 of them are your own, can you really be considered a heat generator or a 'top level' contributor to this site?
Great posters don't need to camp out and reply to each and every review on there post. But, it must make you proud to reach a "milestone" amount of reviews on posts, despite that fact.

i didn't realize i was considered anything. let alone a "heat generator" or "top level contributer".
and i dont reply to every review, if i want to i will though. i like to argue with fat retarded nerds like yourself. thats all.
and as long as people reply to my reply i will reply. can you wrap your fat little head around that. didn't think so.

Great writers will tell you to be who you are and write what you know, but if, in reality, you're some white kid trying to bolster his fragile ego by playing out his identity issues on some internet forum, don't bother. There's already enough of you to go around.
Seriously, go out there, do something worth reading about, drop the ego, and learn how to form proper paragraphs. Until then, you're just opening yourself up.
