i once liked it here
a place of sactuary
like minds
liking thought provoking placement of words
and stories.

now i feel sorry
for those who only know it
for what it has become...
a torrential downpour of meaningless drivel
"of the day" or "moment".

With some P-O-E-T-R-Y ????

That would be great!!!!

I usually forget that i'm in the poetry and prose section anymore and think I'm in AET most of the time
when i come here now.

It's true. :geek:
I don't know why we need yet another quote thread or word of the moment thread in here. :?
I guess it's so everyone can participate?


It's kind of like the girlfriend who shakes a tambourine because she can't play any real instrument?

That girlfriend is the hot one that's much appreciated by all

maybe it's, what's it called writer's stall

Then you suddenly realize that she is playing on every song, even though you only need the tambourine on
one or two songs, and she is making the rest of your lovely little setlist sound like complete shit and
all of sudden her "hotness" isn't enough, then you go one thought further and realize, she was never really
hot at all, she was just okay. She of course looked really good at first because she was the only chick on
stage with a bunch of dudes so it was a nice little change. But by the second set of music, and little hot
tambourine girl is still going to town on every song (and she is most likely out of time to boot) her hotness
serioulsy begins to fade. It was good in the first few songs of the first set because it was something "different", but now you just want your old band back because they actually know how to play
their instruments?
Of course you try to be nice to her and throw her a few hints here and there like, "hey hot tambourine chick, you've been going at that tambourine pretty hard, I would hate for you to bruise your hot little hand, you should take a break".
And again, of course, she don't take the hints and keeps hitting that motherfuckingshitsoundingtambourine even harder, and HARDER still.
Then it just becomes awkward for everyone, and they just either slowly quit the band one by one, because
the people that used to come see the band slowly stopped coming to the shows one by one.
Next thing you know, your kick ass band is fucked, and it's just the one guy singing and playing guitar with his "hot" tambourine playing wife, and they are only playing for 2 people and an uninterested bartender and door man from then on, and the singer/guitar player realizes, his band was fine just the way it was!!!
Now its destroyed all because the hot wife wouldn't put down that fucking tambourine and his "band" will
never be the same?!?!

Kinda like that?

Then yes, I may agree.

Hey Wolf, must be a been there done that. Sorry dude how did we get to hot wife though that changes everything, the wife takes a lot of shit and giveth a lot of shit. Wife could be a bigger commitment than a band, if the guy is doing it right.

Nope. I've always been smart enough to keep my personal relationships out of my bands.
I got to the hot wife thing because that's usually what it is when you see a hot chick standing on the stage
with a band playing a tambourine. She is usually with someone in the band, and they think it will be ''cute" if she were in the band too. Then they decide to have the tone deaf tambourine playing hot chick sing a song or two. Then she starts singing backup on everything and throwing the harmonies off.
Seen it happen a thousand times
And yes, the wife is a much bigger commitment than the band, but why does one have to go with the other?
I don't know what your talking about "giving and taking shit" though. Sorry, you lost me there.

The point being.... this section of the board at one time was much different. I think most (poetry writing folk) would agree that this is not as much fun as it once was.

I thought justam's tambourine girl was a great analogy.
I just continued on that since you seem to think the hot tambourine playing chick is more appreciated than the art itself.
At least thats how it reads.
