honestly, I've tried to get into the Low End Theory, and it never stuck with me. That's one of those canonized records that I don't get.


but wait, you didn't even like Eminem Show @Certain? That's easily my favorite of Eminem's albums.

timeless 03-06-2014 02:08 AM
never get into imayday! ?

Vulgar 03-06-2014 02:10 AM
The Cold Vein is my favorite.

Not at all. I own it. But my second-favorite Eminem album is Infinite.

So many shitty beats and hooks.

oats 03-06-2014 02:29 AM
honestly though, respect for even being able to make a list. I feel like I could do 15 with thought put in, and after that I'd order them pretty arbitrarily.

Certain 03-06-2014 02:32 AM
I'm a list-maker.

It keeps my thoughts organized.

oats 03-06-2014 02:33 AM
you strike me as a baseball fan. is that correct?

Certain 03-06-2014 02:34 AM
I prefer basketball, but baseball is not far behind.

since most of you consider yourselves to be writers of some sort. what is your take on this?

Ink 03-06-2014 02:36 AM

I read slowly by most people's standards. My internal editor never shuts off. I prefer it, though, because I'm weird. I don't read nonfiction books and don't target genres in fiction. I read for the writing, the story structures and the narrative techniques.

I imagine this will be great for college students and for many more normal readers.

oats 03-06-2014 02:42 AM
I just ask because people I know who like baseball like rankings and statistics and all that.
@Ink personally I don't find value in reading really fast, at least not in the context of reading literature. if you're reading emails and shit that's pretty cool though.

That's true of sports in general, perhaps aside from football, where the statistics are as dull as the minds of the athletes.

oats 03-06-2014 02:48 AM
agreed, I guess I always thought it was more pronounced in baseball, maybe because I'm not much of a baseball fan and that's how I assume people enjoy watching it. why no nonfiction?

Ink 03-06-2014 02:49 AM
@Certain @oats yeah I think it's a cool idea.. nice for when you have to speedread through some crap, but i wouldn't like it when i'm reading casually. you won't get to enjoy how a sentence is constructed and all the nuances that come with seeing an entire page..

also, kids generally already suck at writing. if they have this... well fuck.

It's not written as well. Ideally nonfiction adheres to facts, which is a limiting factor. And since I'll never be able to read all the great fiction, why bother with nonfiction?

not many people would say that besides myself it seems. amazing how a lack of physical contact can have so many people overlook the game's complexity. Or if it's baseball, it's not traditional, anyone can throw a ball in a basket, tall divas, etc.

oats 03-06-2014 02:53 AM
I think there's a lot of creative nonfiction nowadays, guys like Tim Kreider and David Sedaris, that might interest you more. I've been reading more non-fiction in the last year or so, mostly to learn about things I'm interested in. what are you reading now?

The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides. I read essays and long-form articles when I want nonfiction. I like the separation.

tell me what you think of this

Certain 03-06-2014 03:06 AM
I'm writing now but will maybe remember later. I've read Tim Kreider and David Sedaris before. They're both very good.

This is normally when I write the most and can get a decent written done in 20-30 minutes so it's a new experience to me. If anyone can relate; How did you get through it, or how did you manage to set shit aside so you could write like you normally would etc?
Thats me every other AOWL week. My life is drama. Hence my niche.

@Objective I've been experiencing that for awhile now. I wanna write but no real concepts come to mind so I just write whatever comes to mind. It makes no sense but its fun to read at least. Perfect example of that is in the om right now.
You always manage to entertain :)

@big baby to translate.
Wow.

In the future please realize I don't care. That's not me but it does bring up why I thought your initial post was bad. Or at least one of the reasons.

I don't think about Diode. I try yo avoid interacting with you because its a very tiring and ultimately useless exercise.


But yeah that's not me.

Things are things, and other things are also things.

Basically what I'm trying to say is I have missed you.

I hope you're looking after fig...I worry about him.

PancakeBrah 03-06-2014 09:57 AM
I called him stupid and we havent talked since.

Except for one time in this thread.

He puts on a tough, possibly deranged, exterior but deep down he's a softy. I feel bad.

This is most disheartening.

Not to worry, The Fox knows what to do.

@fIG come in here and make up with pancake, we are friends and we must stick together.

and fix your name or you're grounded.

Whenever someone starts a vote with "I don't really know topical" I wonder why they even bother.

Do you plan on explaining your no show or should we just accept it as part of life, like brushing teeth and the QWERTY keyboard?
