I won't be coming out the house for a bit because it looks like the local Assyrians got some Southside-Northside hip hop fued going on, and the worst part is because they're fresh off the boat in America, they don't know which side of town they're even on.

So back in like 2012 this guy Dilano Dalion began making music and became known in underground circles (among 100 people in almost 100 neighborhoods) for the song Armaggedon: https://youtu.be/rx2QXgMfGRI

In response, this one rapper named DTouna who I had the curse of knowing personally released a diss track several years later after Dalion got out of prison. No cap, he waited till this dude came home from upstate just to release this: https://youtu.be/H57O_6X5jEE

If this goes the way I expect, people will die over this.

Aaaaaa that’s a tough question I can’t choose just one

But I definitely can say that the cast/characters have really great chemistry. Possibly the best I’ve seen on a TV series in some time. I love how Shawn and Gus’ friendship is written. It’s almost like they’re brothers. I love the weird strained-yet-close relationship Shawn has with his dad. They may not always get along that well, but at the end of the day, you know they love each other.

It’s such a great show

Yeah, they all play off each so well. I think Lassiter is probably my favorite character, partly because of how he and Shawn antagonize each other.

I came home and my brother wasn't around which isnt totally unusual for a Friday, so I waited up till ten and at 10:30 this guy comes in crying and I said "what's the matter what's the matter" and he said his girlfriend called him a crybaby.

Damn, him and Melissa are heading down the same road which me and Cecilia went down...

...which me and Daz went down...
...which me and Janeen went down...
...which me and Alexis went down
...which me and Megan went down...
...which me and Casey went down...

Wait I'm noticing a pattern here.

Fuck.

I “woke up” many times this morning.

“Just touch that wall over there...”

Struggles to reach it*

Eventually touches the wall

Now get up... (mind time travels back... oh you never woke up)

Try again

I think that happened over a dozen times in a few hours, some kind of limbo where I know it’s a dream but can not effectively get up

I'll consider that. Despite some of the things I've said here, I do actually like almost everyone on NSG. I'd miss you and others, including the atheists, as well. :) So just abandoning the nation would be a difficult decision.

In other news: I was looking at old birthday cards I got years ago, which I've kept in my desk like a terrible person, and it made me actually think that I might have been indoctrinated by my church. It's a weird thought to have, especially because no one has an objective opinion on it.

Please don’t leave.

Also, why did birthday cards make you think you’ve been indoctrinated? And you aren’t a terrible person for keeping them (though my mother would scold me if I kept every birthday card because she’s kind of a neat freak :p ).

Not every card, that would be awful. Only the ones from people I like. :p

To summarize it as much as I can, those cards read to me like they were for a completely different person than I am, since people were writing about my plans for a career and such. So that led me to wonder how I could change so much since then, and the only change was my church. And it went on from there.

The semi-obvious alternative explanation would be that some of these things are from when I was ten years old, and change is to be expected in that case, especially when it comes to plans for the future. I don't know why it didn't occur to me earlier. :lol2:
