do you post from a computer? do you have word? I will personally create an environment in word for you to have your "comfy space."

I truly do appreciate you, but we take the playoffs seriously man.
Same shit probably happened during adonis winter tourney. That was fucked up bro. Same thing happens first round here, better then final one I guess. You have to admit, I make a valid point.

You can take steps to avoid this happening next season. Please utilize them.
Regardless, thanks for your votes, time, and dedication to our cause. Truly, thank you. I love your work and your rhyming votes even. Everyone else hates them but me. Keep doing you man. Just do your work in a more dependable environment next season. Please.

edit : Voting in full tomorrow, coming through with a mag. No show shine coming at @UnbornBuddha for sure.

LETS KEEP THIS MOVEMENT GOING!!!!!!!!

[MMLP]

Got a free morning tomoz so ill be voting then.

Can analyse properly then, which I prefer to do.

[UnbornBuddha]

I highly suggest writing your work in Microsoft word, it also has an autosave feature as well. So you don't lose your work in such unfortunate circumstances.

I've been reading a lot of buddhist material, buddha. Highly prevalent in modern times, highly prevalent...

only major religion which isn't at odds with science.

mind, body, spirit, the various "planes" of existence...

one reality.

Any particular sutra? Or any particular master's teachings?

Stay away from many of the modern Buddhist teachings, they are not what the Buddha taught, its psycho-materialistic Buddhism.

You'd probably be against it but mahayanist buddhism, particularly the branch that chants nam myoho renge kyo the title of the lotus sutra. I tried chanting it today and placebo or not I felt peaceful. It's not something where I'm going to just stick to this, I'll probably have to get into some Alan Watts and translations of actual scripture but of all the major religions I identify more with buddhism. Other than that I read Siddartha by Herman hesse, the tao of physics, something by d.t. suzuki and a bunch of popular magazines. I can't forsake my natural urge toward being a grey jedi though - 75-85% good but also with the capacity for evil bc I can't fight evil with good I can only fight evil with evil. JMO.

Ah for sure. That particular branch comes from a monk called Nichiren. He had an interesting life, survived some executions by what some call good luck or divine will. The lotus sutra is deemed as the most powerful sutra. A famous Chan master once said that if you want to find out why the Buddha came to Earth, read the Lotus Sutra. If you want to learn how he attained enlightenment, read the Surangama sutra.
And no I am not against Mahayana, that is my particular resonance, albeit I am inclined towards Chan/ Zen sect. Particularly old school type Chan.

If it made you feel peaceful that's good. If your willing, try chanting the Lotus Sutra one day in Sanskrit, it is even more powerful in effect in my opinion.

And I love Herman Hesse's Siddhartha, wish I could read it in German. One day I suppose. D.T. Susuki was a great scholar, check out his Lavankatara sutra, his greatest translation. And of course your inclined toward Buddhism, i have come to see that it attracts certain minds.

And as for Good vs evil. From the perspective of the great Confucian Mencius, evil doesn't even exist at the presence of true goodness. But relatively evil exists in contrast to good, but since this good is intertwined with evil, it is not true goodness. I think fighting exists because of good and evil, the evil think they are doing good, or they are trying to be good by doing evil. There are a couple of stories where some crazy murderers, psychopaths who would wear a necklace of their victims' fingers, were transformed when they met a being of true goodness.

what minds does it attract....

[asylum]

@sraL cool lets get him in next season.

[asylum]

I hope you all know voting deadlines will not be overlooked in the future. Guilty this week as anyone. Dropping mine now.

I'm trying to get a tourney rolling tag team alias most likely. Don't fuck off on these votes.

I hope you all follow suit. Great luck to anyone competing in the playoffs.

Thank you all for your continued participation and dedication.

[Pharaohs Army]

Nice verses boiyz.

@Mr. J
Sometimes if you hit the back button you can get lucky and it populates back to the page you were writing, with your entire verse intact.

Since that can fail too, I'd gotten into the habit of ctrl-c Copying what I'd written so far...once there's a big chunk there.
So if disaster strikes I can ctrl-v Paste and at least save the majority of it.

I don't like writing raps on Word either. and on some phones the Word apostrophes and other characters populate as '?' in a verse... F that... old microsoft notepad is better for netcees.
So if I'm going to write something in more than one sittdown i'll put in notepad.

[asylum]

YO nice work fellas. you four went hard in the paint.
too bad @UnbornBuddha got no showed.

that was a sick ass verse too. drop it in the OM. i'll drop feed in mag tho.

[Razah]

Been busy as shit recently. What sucks is not having time to write for a battle, and then getting a dope idea for that topic 2 days after verses are due.

*shrugs.

[asylum]

@Razah @NYCSPITZ

can you guys PLEASE vote?

[UnbornBuddha]

Razah voted.

[asylum]

shit you right.
@Frank uno mas por favor.
and please explain who the hell dragon is before i close these matches.

[MMLP]

@Artifice s verse was dope imo. My best work would've struggled to top that. One of the few times I feel I've actually lost

[Artifice]

appreciate the props @MMLP. I'm certain you'll have an opportunity for revenge next season.

[MMLP]

Taken your advice on bored Frank.

In all honesty my last few battles have been just strung on me, didn't sign in for them and wasn't inspired to write, I have to be the mood to do it.

Maybe after a mini hiatus, ill miss it n wanna come bck!
