It must be religion. I'm not religious & I don't really care that much, anymore.

I was all infatuated, when I was a kid.

But the 90s killed Prince, for me. I have tried, numerous times, to "get back into it", but it never works.

I don't really trash him, but if he does something stupid, I will say it's stupid.


Obviously u are trying to get back into it...and maybe something happened in your life that turned u away from God or something...and you just have to be patient with yourself, and ask your heart, and quietly listen, and trust the direction your heart takes u in...when u trust that inner voice, to open your spiritual door...Prince will be in there too.


No, I'm not playing any of his music, at the moment.

Being a fan is not the same as being a sycophant. I used to be a fan. I still enjoy talking about him a little, or I wouldn't be here.

I occasionally watch the old videos on one of the DVDs I downloaded awhile back.

Usually when I get drunk...

getting drunk in a bar every now and again is not the same thing as being a career alcoholic, but to the uninformed eye, a drunken idiot is a drunken idiot.

my point? i have none. remember that. nod

Are you experiencing opposite day or something?

I did only quote one line.

The hammer IS on my head.

I used the ESP abbreviation correctly.

Dreamy has said before that Prince sends messages to her mind, telling her what to do, hence ESP!!

nuts
[Edited 4/21/08 6:12am]



purplesweat: ...because Prince sent her ESP or some shit.

Prince sent extrasensory perception to her? Do you mean to say using some form of extrasensory perception a communication happened between Prince and Dreamy? Or do you actually mean that Prince did indeed send extrasensory perception (whatever aspect of it you have not stated) to her? If so by what method? Some form of ESP, electronically, post or courier?

You also quoted your original post and my reply. I was asking which statement did not make sense. Just because you made the post does not mean to say you cannot then question it.

The hammer may be assumed to be on your head but that is not a given. If indeed it is on your head then the next assumption is that you are implying that the recipient of the gesture should 'use' their 'head'. Correctly or incorrectly understanding it as such I chose to suggest that you 'use' your 'head'.

Now that's settled. Simple wasn't it?

And opposite day? Meaning what exactly?

And yes I completely agree that Dreamy is on another level when it comes to her posts. Not that you have said such a thing, just that I guess that's how you feel. And by 'other level' what I actually mean is 'away picking daisies'.


Lawd. You're not making fun of me are you?

YES, I meant extrasensory perception. If you READ Dreamy's post's you'll see her say on numerous occasions :

"I listened to Gold last night...must be the man telling me again!"

"Just before exams i got the urge to listen to Come, I think it was Prince telling me to so I'd feel more prepared."

"I believe Prince wants me to write in this white font I have dubbed "white out""

...you get the idea...

I don't get what your issue is with me mentioning this. You seem to be hinting that I might be making this up...believe me, I can't make this kind of delusion up! lol Even at the height of my fandom last year I never once thought he was sending message to my mind biggrin

As for the whole hammer emoticon issue, the emoticon is meant to be used when someone is frustrated - which I was.

I don't understand your issue with my quoting. I quoted one simple line and you blew it all out of proportion.

I said opposite day because you asked the opposite of everything I meant.

This is such B*ll Sh*t!. No one has a problem with your opinion(s) about Prince.


JimRockford said:

I read some of these posts around here and I just have to ask this question. Because some of you are flat-out sycophants.


This is an assumption and and insult - straight from the gate.

You praise every single thing Prince does. It's like you have no existence without Prince.


No one on this site praises EVERY thing Prince does. I've seen comments to the contrary and I would imagine those that keep it positive do so because they recognize that Prince does what he wants to do and that's his right. Besides who really "knows" Prince on this site? And if we do not know him personally, we certainly cannot praise everything he does.

Granted, some of us are new fans and all we know are good things about him. Why is that bad? And why shouldn't we take delight in this? Why is this a problem for you to the point where you must insult us?

Additionally, the difference between us and others is that when we make our comments we don't insult other Orgers or try to cram our feelings down anyone else's throat.

Your assumption that people have no existence w/o Prince is ridiculous. There are 24 hours to each day and no one is on this site that much. Also, people come to this site to discuss Prince, so it is reasonable to uderstand that when we're here that's what we do.

And the funny thing is Prince probably has the least respect for your kind. Anyone with a glimmer of intellect respects others for their intelligence & self-generated opinion.


How would you know what Prince thinks? True intellect and intelligence is demonstrated by voicing one's opinion and recognizing that there are other opinions and refraining from insulting those that do not agree with you.

You are the kind that gets pissed off when someone says something the least bit negative about the man.


Keep it real. No one has concerns about anyone stating their opinion, positive or negative. From what I see, there is a compliment of individuals who for whatever the reasons like to force their opinions (ususally negative) on others. We can agree to disagree. For instance, on the same day this thread began, there was new orger who said "hi" his/her thread was promptly hijacked. There are numerous examples of this behavior--we're minding our own business on the Buff thread and all of a sudden, we're being attacked---what's really going on?

And he is JUST a MAN. As talented as he is, he is ONLY a man.


No difference of opinion there.

And men have had opposing views since the dawn of time.


Agreed. Opposing views are what makes this site interesting and fun. Insults, however, are not fun and/or appropriate; 'cause you don't know everyone here and what you read is only a representation (probably miniscule in proportion to the whole person).

So, is worshiping him worth it?


There's a difference between worship and admiration. And, who are you to "judge" which is which? and for whom?

Do you feel fulfilled?


Isn't this a bit sarcastic and derogatory?

Why did you edit out the ugly heads part...[Name calling snip - luv4u] ... rolleyes
Its so damn easy talk shit about the people who choose to see the truth rather than hide behind so-called "positivity".


I don't take kindly to being called names. I can write whatever I please here as long as it does not infringe on anyone else. I edited my own comments because that is also my right. You have no right determining what I should or shouldn't write.

It's funny, the ones that are always accusing others of censorship of mind, spirit and language are generally the biggest offenders.

There is worship/adoration and then there is unconditional love [loving no matter what], and sometimes the line between the two can be quite thin I think.

purplesweat, sorry buddy I have been pulling your leg. I was feeling mischevious yesterday and normally would pop into Second Life to get it out of my system on some poor soul. But I chose you instead wink

As for Dreamy's comments, I couldn't agree more. She's away with the pixies that one. But I guess she's harmless. I'd also guess she's a teenager, as it's at that age we seem to display those 'dreamy' traits. Not that I'm knocking her, it's each to their own I guess and I also remember being full of dreams (read 'crap') at that age.

I'll stop now smile Friends again?
