« on: Dec 20, 2008, 01:48: PM »
to discuss quality reading material (doesn't have to be literature, but no harry potter and shit)

I'm reading currently:

The Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy
Horse Latitudes by Paul Muldoon

soon to start:
Things Upon Which I've Stumbled by Peter Cole
the complete works of Spinoza (I think it's complete)
Treatise of Civil Power by Geoffrey Hill



I'm gonna have an awesome break reading-wise

how about all of you people?

Nice material. I like your taste.

And I too am a deist  :thumbsup:

Although not in a very conventional sense

I really like Spinoza's contention for the existence of God. It's one flaw is that it contains too many axioms, which means that the argument is easier to poke holes in.

Yeah during the schoolyear I almost never read because between soccer, martial arts, and schoolwork I get time to eat and maybe sleep. Of course school comes first. I basically confine myself to poetry during the schoolyear because I don't have to stay in a plot, I can just read a few sonnets, or villanelles, or what have you, and then go to sleep. But since it's winter break, I plan to get through at least ten books, among other things.

Your subliminal was caught like a Randy Johnson fast ball. Its still funny you think I am faking; besides that, its pretty damn rude if i take time out to even talk in-depth analysis out in public, when at first i was going to only answer PM's. I should have known you were mocking me, but I learned my lesson that all your out to do is antagonize after I even replied to you .

Homie, although that could be looked at as a joke, i'm actually seriously reading them. I wasn't even thinking about mocking you, and if I was, i'd let you know.  I'm taking Intermediate Accounting II and Forensic Accounting next semester and i'm preparing for class.

I've tried to keep quiet for a while. But I'm sick of you bleeding out of your pussy complaining about getting antagonized and cyber bullied about your so called business. You want me to be honest with you I don't give a fuck weather you own Microsoft or sell bananas at the local market. Shit is irrelevant on a soccer/freestyle forum. No one would be on the subject had you not come in here running your mouth in the first place.

Your probably thinking that shit would get you respect on the internet, how is that gonna help you in real life. Respect yourself son.
 

But
since you wanna run your mouth about how successful you are, why don't you give us solid proof. You are on baller status right? Post pics of your huge crib and give us solid evidence that you actually run your own business/part own another. Documents/picture what ever tho shit needs to be solid. Otherwise simply STFU.

Getting all emotional, paranoid and shit thinking people are dissing him subliminally shit is pathetic man.
