At one time I thought I was a man, until I realized I was just a Gerbil in women's underwear.


Dont worry buddy, we all went through the being a Gerbil in Womens Underwear Phase, give it 6-8 months and it will pass.

Hey no biggie. They're based out of Iceland and basically no one knows them anymore. I looked at your profile (after I saw such brutal sarcasm that is rarely matched, really bravo. I think a few people cried after some of those comments) but I just assumed that you lied like I did. I don't want any Halo fans tracking me down.

What about MARATHONMARATHONMARATHONMARATHON or MYTHMYTHMYTHMYTHMYTH! Those are Bungie games too. They need love just like Halo.

Anyway, this is the Flood. People can talk about what they want here. Well, to an extent.

Stosh, if you could clean up Blackwater's posts in here too, that would be great.

Someone please stop this thread!!!!!! This poetry sucks! I come to Bungie to talk about Halo, not to read some crappy poetry. And I don't think you have to worry about anyone stealing it. Maybe someone wiping there ass with it, but not stealing.


And do you expect me to take critcism from a person such as yourself? It'd be no different then me getting advice about painting from a blind man.

Obbi, that was some really great poetry, it takes a lot of skill to put feelings(amongst other things) into words (at least, for me that is), and I think you did it marvelous-ly.

Thank you. Any compliment from a man who can speak so many languages is very high in my book.

Then I hope you understand that I did have to re-read some of it in order to just get a grasp of it, seeing as every piece of rightly written poetry is fight for the reader with the txt, right? That, and the fact that seeing as it is not my native language, it's hard to understand some of the fine-tunings of the imagery.

I understand that, and I almost made a post about it.

It is awesome, though, that you're able to understand some of it. I took four years of spanish and I never really grasped the language. I could barely speak it now, even if I tried.

Then again, language isn't my thing. I'm more math/physics/philosophy, anyway. :P

then I suppose you are some what of an opposite of, me, you're more calculated than me (not saying predictable in any way). I do like philosophy, but I would never be able to put my toughts into words rightly, I'm just too instinctive.

Btw, this is just my point of view, not an analysis in any way

Oh and one more thing, if you say will to power, don't make it equal to will to survive, that's not what Nietzsche intended by it, in fact I think his "will to power" was, perhaps only in part, a reaction to a former philosopher's (i can't remember who; it's been a long time since I've written my paper about him) "will to survive" theory. "Will to power" is more complex than the "will to survive"
I could have misinterpretated your intentions though...

I can understand language pretty well. My native language (like many here) is English, but I'm fluent in Spanish and can comprehend about 80% of German. I'm trying to learn Russian on my own, but I'm not doing too well. I should probably finish off German and then go to Russian.

You didn't misinterprit my intentions, you were spot-on. However, it was meant to mimic Nietzsche - but not exactly.

I may say I'm a Nietzschian, but in reality I have sort of "spun off" from his Passism and formed my own beliefs. I have taken his "will to power" and morphed it into something else. I love the phrase because it's so powerful.

I have read parts from Ecco -blam!-, all of Twilight of the Idols, The Anti-Christ, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Of course you've "spun of" from his passism, anyone who thinks that Nietzsche's ideals were spot on over the entire line is a joke imo, but Nietzsche is extremely interesting for his way of getting a grasp of things that were to come imo, he understood a lot of things that ppl back then didn't. That and the fact that he explored the human being in a way that I can relate to (again it's been a long time since I've been busy with his work, but it was the feeling I got back then)

Currently I'm trying to read his "Also sprach Zarathustra", it's really though German, but I guess it's a way of coming to knowledge in two ways(linguistic-ly (?) and philosphically).

Nietzsche's hard to read in my native language. Even if I learned another language, reading it in that would be difficult if not impossible.

I commend you. (that is, if German isn't your original language - I remember you saying it wasn't)

German isn't my native language, it's Dutch (I'm not from the Netherlands, though, I hail from *sigh* ...Belgium). It's very difficult for me, but I have a dictionary at hand and as I said I re-read a lot. I'm reading the book in German, because I'm a firm believer that part of the txt would get lost in translation, hence certain nuances will get lost in any translation.

Eh. My english versions have footnotes that explain all of those for me. :)

I think the only way to truly get everything out of it would be if you spoke the language as a native. Other then that there'll be too many cultural things that are lost when you read it.

My exam (ancient Rome and Greece) is the 16th of june. I'm in my first year of modern history, hence "history" is divided into various courses.
