No kidding RC. That whole page doesn't do much for my opinion on several people.
Yeah, it's just turned into a spam/popularity fest IMO. I once thought (when I first started posting here) that this place was freaking awesome. Cool people, cool conversation. Everyone responded to each others topics, whether relevant to level-up's, or not. Just a fun, cool place to hang out with people who cared about one another.
Now, the only big thing that REALLY bugs me is the fact that certain people just don't give a shit about other people's posts. They come in, post a few selfish posts, and then leave. I know there aren't any rules, so I can't blame them, but I refuse to say any names. I just thought that we were all like "Buddies." I know it sounds weird, but that is the feeling I came to associate this topic with. Now, it just makes me not want to post here that much anymore. I do check each page everyday for cool, relevant content, but it has just gotten so shitty lately.
Just to clarify, I am not mad because of the amount of posts. It is just the fact that I would rather see this thread have 10 new pages everyday with cool and interesting material posted then a half a page of shit.
I thought people were trying to convince me this thread hadn't turned to shit.
Well, that's what I thought too...
Heh, nice numbers.
^_^ Thanks James.
My blams just recently grew to 4,000 more than my saves.
Yes, I just took a look. Seems you are up there! Your protections even outnumber my blams. Good job!
I thought you'd had a good time last night.
Well, there were actually two nights that were incrediblely awesome.
First night was Friday night when Enoll and Bob were DJing. That was fun as shit. I had a permi-smile on the whole time. It was really fun to listen to them and they did a hell of a job DJing. Grats ^_^ I actually had the radiogrounds radio on the whole time! (Well, except when my comp crashed :x ) I wish that, 1. I could actually listen to someone DJ anytime of the day/night, and 2. That I could help keep the music alive by DJing myself. That would be so much fun :) I just wish I had a more reliable computer. Bob also did an incredible job too. I felt so bad for him when he got tired. I could hear it in his voice. I finally said to him, "Dude, GO TO SLEEP!!!" haha...
...and I thought the only Mod who ever banned me was going to be a jerk...
Haha...he is now on my "Top 20 Favorite Users on NG" list. So much for my former theory...
Second night was Saturday night. My band, Random Access, played in Georgetown, DC. We had the most energy I have ever experienced before. My neck hurts like a bitch still...and it probably will for a while...oh well, I can live that :) All my friends were blown away at our performance. You talk about a milestone? That one show, right there. HUGE milestone for us. The next/current step for us is to keep on building our "fanbase". It all takes a lot of work, and believe me, it is worth it.
What's been dragging you down mate?
Well, after the show, I literally passed the fuck out a half hour after I got home. I then had to get up to go to work today. Did not want to, but I need the money...so off I went.
I worked my fucking ass off for 12 straight hours. At Outback Steakhouse, all the servers run the food. So we end up carrying about 100 trays of food a day. My back kills me at the end of the night. So, after I get underappreciated by about half my customers who don't realize that we get paid $2.38 an hour for waiting on them hand and foot, I walk out of there at Midnight with a grand total of $75 dollars. Big fucking whoop. Hell, I could beg for change on the street corner for 4 hours and get more money than what I got today. It's just not fair.
Then I get home, and think to myself, hey well at least I got NG. Then I see that there is a total of 2 semi-replyable posts in this thread since I have been gone...man, that just pissed me off to no end.
There are about 10-15 people here who I can say are the reasons that I have been coming here everyday for the last 6 months. You all should know who you are....and yes, even j00bie and Bonus...I consider them good people. They maybe young, but all in all, they are good people.

I have concluded that, at least for tonight, I will have my Aura set to Dark, and the saying in my sig will not change until Tuesday.
Thanks for caring, James.
