So today at school there was this whole 'club day', I guess it is the only way to describe it. Well, student organizations basically. looking for members, like yoga organization, some others that I just can't remember now, hell even AI(Amnesty International).

Everywhere I walked, a student approached me about joining said organization, but I didn't really say anything, just kinda walked on by...

I also saw a hip-hop org, and thought to myself, I should come up with a metalhead org, but I just don't have the will to follow through with it. Then a student actually asked me if I had any ideas for another organization...

"I think I do.." I said... "The indifference organization" I remarked, rather coldly...


I don't know, maybe I have been watching the news too much, following all these world events, and now this whole shit on the economy. One way or another they are going to pass said bill, and we are the ones who will pay for it anyways. I guess maybe thats where my indifference stems from, since most of whatever happens in the world is beyond our control...

Its as if all my will is being sapped away....





Anyone else want to join my indifference organization? *shrug*
I find your lack of faith... disturbing...

Funny thing is, immortal, you share the exact same name as a hip-hop artist.
You are so right...now changing my handle will have people confused after having used that handle for almost two years now.

Sigh, but i could still use it right? Anyone?

Yeah, unfortunately, I am too. Either angry or sad, but usually if I'm sad I soon became angry.

How to stop/prevent it: video games, internet, etc. Nah, not really, you can't stop it...

Immortal... you appeared to making fun of rap and I thought it was ironic that you shared a name with a rapper. I wasn't trying to get you to change your handle on here. I couldn't care less.

BallsOfSteel,
You cant say you couldnt careless yet you went researching about a rapper bearing a similar handle! Seems to me you also have a group running with your handle too. hey check it out http://www.ballsofsteel.net/

Or is that your site as well? I did care more!

I said I couldn't care less about you changing your handle. Because I really couldn't. I just thought it was funny that you were making fun of rap using a rapper's handle. And I didn't go out and research him, I actually listen to him.

My name isn't the one up for discussion here... I'm not making fun of Duke Nukem or anything of the kind. Stop being so sensitive.

If you want to discuss peoples handles why dont you outdo yourself and start a thread on that? And this is coming from someone who aggressively defends his handle? Please, you know what not caring is? Its what i did when i chose my handle. Didnt bother going out on a limb to check if someone else is using it. Simple.

You're really grasping at straws here. I just thought it was funny that you were making fun of rap when your username is the same as a well known rapper. I think you just misunderstood me from the beginning... I was just making an observation. Not trying to start a flame war. Besides, we have bigger things to worry about... like this guys loss of faith.

Ok, guys ... breathe ... breathe ... Let's count from 10 to 1 backwards, slowly and softly, each time letting go of some of your anger.
10 ... let go ...
9 ... you're unclenching your fists ...
8 ... think to yourself "this sure is a dumb thing to fight about" ...
7 ... you're letting go ...
6 ... you are relaxing ...
5 ... you're not mad at each other ...
4 ... you're beginning to feel better about the situation ...
3 ... relax ...
2 ... you should want to be friends again ...
1 ... Ok? The world is at peace ... Now kiss and make up.
