Wow, Emil jan you are such a darn romantic! I am here, search no more, you can look into my eyes and tell me all you want, I will stay and try not to push you away. That is as long as you respect my very sacred relationship with my PCs, that is my alone time with them. And I'll give you not one but three chances to show me how you can reach those spires, but don't wait until the time expires.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

when will we stop trying to capture
the world in poetry and instead
focus on the world as it is as we are
as it exists no exits no rhymes
just confusion and chaotic mimes
pointless talks and cahtroom phrases
horny cults and beer cases
trying slapping focking spitting
turning around in a world falling
apart bit by bit apart human by human
apart heart by heart
dangerous art paint new paintings
burn new buildings kill a person
make a coffin drink some coffee
choose carefree and youre free
not the gum by the lifestyle
get online and pretend you smile
when youre offline walk a mile
burn some fat you armenophile
offering overrated prices on regurgitated topics
and jokes which thought provokes
to pointless places visited a thousand times before
my mind is numb i post on a forum
shut up and let me post my stuff in sanctumLast edited by Mr. Peabody; 03-05-2004, 07:30 PM.

Peabody is just another anybody nobody
Looking for that body to feel like a somebody
You may have a body and you bought "e"
And you stuffed it in your brain thats a pea
Pea merges with body and you have peabody
Just another somebody, dancing tango with nobody
Anybody hear this nobody? This nobody
With a damaged body no mind what does he embody
But a pea stuck in a body he desires like everybody
To move from being an anybody, to be a somebody
Even better to be a someone
One ahead of the body, before he hadn't one
Then we can feel like he won
The Sum of Body and One makes you Someone
Not just a name with a Pea and a Body
Making poetry as he claims to not make poetry
Because he is trapped in the body
Like every body else forced to make poetry
Thinking, like everybody else, he is a sum one.Achkerov kute.

On Modern Art and Poetry
A Post-Modern, Post-Colonial Parody of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?"
Inspired by the Dadaist writing of Dionne Brand
How do I abhor thee? Let me count the ways
I abhor thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can't understand, when reading those poems
For the ends of pointless Art and non-ideal Beauty.
I abhor thee to the level of everyday's
Most loud unnecessity, by fluorescent or regular lamps.
I abhor thee politically incorrectly, as men strive against it;
I abhor thee impurely, as they turn from Artistic Beauty to Dadaism.
I abhor thee with the passivity put to no use
In my old griefs of struggling to understand the meaning behind a Dionne Brand poem, and with my adult patience.
I abhor thee with a hatred I seemed to lose
With my gained saints of post-colonial, post-modernist literature,--I abhor thee with the bad breath,
Fake smiles, tears of anger, of all my life!--and, if the Devil choose,
I shall but abhor thee better after death, in that hell to which all of my kind are condemned.

Tribute to Dionne Brand
Sitting here at my desk, I wonder if there is any meaning to poetry--
I wonder if I can ever grasp the feelings behind it;
All I can see in it are zeroes and ones,
Industrialised, economised beauty,
Ugliness as representative of beauty,
Idiocy as representative of sensitivity,
Degeneracy as representative of genius.
I dig out my books on Byron, Shelley, Keats,
And place them face to face with Dionne Brand's vision of new poetry,
And the Byron poetry shrivels up and dies.
I try to revive it, and for a moment I think I am successful;
With a solemn look, The Prisoner of Chillon sits up,
Sighs deeply, shudders, and breathes its last.
Henceforth, hundreds of uber-romantic poets as they are referred to now
Have been taken off curricula, off shelves,
Into the attics of lost memories, of a period of feminised idealism,
Of beauty in romanticism that ceased to exist after the outburst of instrustialism,
And the exchange of gibberish between the literatures of peoples
Who would've never seen each other or heard each other's language.
Reclaiming poetry has become impossible.
Dionne Brand has the key to the trunk, and she swallowed it;
It will take generations of "typical Anglo-Saxon" men as Barbara Hall would name them in a self-hating moment,
To look through sewers inhabited by the filth of generations,
To find that key, that key to the past
With all its beauty and innocence and idealism...

Boredom cries
super sized fries
Time flies we blink
Veins swollen we drink
Blood flowin’ we think
Tylenol calisthenics
Love addicted ethics
Stress inlaid
Financial aid
Prepaid package plan made
Pushing fashion without passion
For hazy futures without structures
Stress cultured creatures
Marketable features
Blurring mind’s eye
Conscience cry
Self destruction without function
Determination with a passion
Framework masses and amasses
The gathering of the masses
Can’t see with glasses
Distributed demographic
Want to be so democratic
Cast votes with heart
And call it art
Fall in love
And kill a dove
Full of madness corrupted gladness
Clueless progress
I confess that I possess
Animated aspirations
In a heart of transmutations
Flirting fiddling with a fiddle
Forming fading like a fossil
Painting dogma with some vodka
Travel far without a visa
Rediscover karma sutra
Hold hands high and spit at the sky
Birthday surprise without a prize
Soulless skies with no disguise
I love you bad rhymes
I hope you realize
Sublime words to memorize
Mesmerize to apprise
Dream to sleep lost in the deep
Can’t hit snooze for the musical breakthroughs
Read a book your mind is shook
Turn around and have a look
Going endless over and under
Endlessly we’re torn asunder
Broken pieces stress decreases
Masturbation stress releases
Holiday and Hollywood
In a world misunderstood
Different thoughts and different schools
Forget about that clubbing rules
Lookin’ trendy is too cool
Otherwise you are a fool
Equal opportunity
Brings about conformity
Trust no one negate it all
From girl power to city hall
Laff inside but not aloud
Thinking freely not allowed
Awful parent so transparent
Break your TV screw the news
Read about movies in reviews
Forget about all that’s real
It’s all about the dream ideal
I deal cards like ideal deals
I test your mind on what you feel
Insisting on resisting
Denying what is tempting
Finding yourself coerced
We find we’re last and never first
Quenching a beer thirst
The Elohim returns
Humanity stuck at u-turns
Take a breath can you smell death?Achkerov kute.
