Heh this is too funny. And it doesnt make any sense, so I can scoff at it.

This isnt some kind of metaphor. GODDAMN THIS IS REAL!”

Does anyone understand ANYTHING this guy is whinging on about?

Go feel sorry for yourself somewhere else mate, or alternatively how about writing down your shit in normal freeking English? You might find some support on here for that kind of stuff. But raving off into obscure wierd fuck poetry metaphors cack aint gonna get you far.

Just a tip.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. **Kurdt** is an individual, just like everyone else.

So little pisses me off more than someone who starts a bloggish pit thread, complains that people are getting on his case, and then asks for the thread to be closed.

Whoa! Two years in less than a month! Still, he says that he’s not _angsting_!  
Hey, didn’t something like this happen on _ **STAR TREK** _ once?  
Considering this, can we really blame him for the Bad Prose?

You have to ask the right way:

Mods,

with the deep despair that is the unrepentant blackness of my unfulfilled soul, draw this thread to a close so that the winter of my soul may receive the mercy of a quick subjugation to the bottomless pit that is one’s self-pity
