That is not how the moon works.

what

also for a tattoo it doesn't look bad. so I dunno about the 13 year old drawing on my arm, most tattoos have that appeal. Unless you get just tribal or meaningless formless doodling.

No they don't, what sorts of tattoos have you been looking at if that's what you think?  I check the tattoo thread on SA a lot and there's some really really awesome shit on there that aren't childish or meaningless.

I only see ones of people I know and I've only ever seen a couple really cool ones. I'd like to see that thread though.

Best to work backwards from the most recent page since a lot of the first pages have dead images now.  There's some bad tattoos in here too but I've seen some insanely impressive shit in here.

That leg is unfortunately positioned

The main reason I haven't gotten a tattoo is that I'm not sure if the hair would grow back at that spot after getting the tattoo.

I'm okay with my arm not growing hair on that spot anymore, but if the hair does grow back at some point, I would need a tattoo design that works for when there is a bunch of hair all over it.

i saw THE DEVIL today

i went to that final fantasy concert that has been making the rounds. wouldn't have gone but a buddy of mine works at the concert hall and got me the ticket cheap and some of my friends were going and making a night of it. i didn't think it was all that great. i like uematsu's work a lot more than i probably should(nostalgia/overly sentimental/plays too many videogame/need better hobbies/barf/puke/baaarrrffff), but i don't think a lot of it translates to orchestra particularly well. a lot of the key melody was more or less completely lost in the sea of generally indifferent mercenary musicians trying to do their thing. the huge bummer of the night was that jenova from ff7 and the gilgamesh battle from ff5 were almost completely unintelligible. it just wasn't a particularly worthwhile idea doing it in the first place, particularly when they shoved an inordinate amount of music from the final fantasy games(11, 13, 14) that nobody really gave much a fuck about. uematsu was actually there for the performance however, which was kinda cool, but he was just a spectator and didn't get to actually do anything but wander around and wave. my buddy, who works as a stage manager at the hall, claims that he told uematsu that he has cool socks and invited him to play football, but he may have just told me this to add much-needed depth to the night. pretty empty experience, and i would have had a much better time listening to the psf final fantasy 3 soundtrack while doing drugs.

but that's not important. what was of note was this guy that was sitting in front of me. i couldn't tell if he was a sufferer of tourette's syndrome or something, but every point where the conductor/musicians/whoever would give even the slightest suggestion that applause or audience reaction would be necessary he would flail his arms around and convulse wildly. i would liken it to those religious events where the people in the audience are generally GOING COMPLETELY BERSERK due to POWER OF THE LORD, except this is NOBUO UEMATSU and COME ON FOR CHRIST'S SAKE IT'S JUST FISHERMAN'S FUCKING HORIZON ARE YOU THAT SENSORY DEPRIVED. but i don't even know if that's a fair comparison because this guy was legitimately LOSING IT on one of those deep fundamental levels that separate the basic functions of man from the outer reaches of chaotic possibility. when the music stopped and the lights came up he walked around like a normal person, and showed absolutely no signs of drug use, but when they broke into STOCK BULLSHIT FANTASY TUNE FROM FF14 the guy began waving his arms around wildly and/or madly squirming in his chair. i don't even know how he had the energy level for this, as it was about two hours of being in complete ecstasy. this was at a kinda vaguely classy symphony hall too, so it was totally out of place, and pretty much everyone in my row looked at this guy, wondering if he was the most excitable person they will ever see or if they actually needed to go grab a defibrillator.

the only conclusions i am able to make is that either he is a mild sufferer of tourettes and the music negated any medication he was taking or he was POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL. possibly both.

or it might just be that i have done such a noteworthy job of separating myself from people who LIVE FOR SOMETHING OF NO CONSEQUENCE that i am unable to process the reality that someone could completely lose bodily control over the prospect of MUSIC FROM VIDEOGAME.

i don't know how i am able to speak at length about an evening whose major noteworthy trait was the fact that it was not really noteworthy at all. i guess it is noteworthy that i am able to write about things that are not the slightest bit noteworthy? don't really know. but hey, words on a dying site. this should count as community service hours in the future for when i am arrested for failing miserably at robbing a bank or something and need to start putting the hours in.

so you had a good time then

I've seen the same thing at a spoon concert

hrrmmmm

I've gone to a show where some guy just sat there and held his ears closed the whole time

http://essaycontest.aynrandnovels.com/AtlasShrugged.aspx?theme=blue

thought it was bonkers that any group would use this book for an essay contest until I saw the URL/mailing address

I like how the cover says STUDENT EDITION. gotta teach our young minds the virtues of greed and developing mental disorders, rather than let them read something of any social, cultural or artistic value

Did the guy happen to look like this?

yes, but a little less overt and a little more disturbing

at one point i was nearly positive he was furiously wanking but i didn't have the heart to check

it was me i was that kid
 
also i made a game http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=82998 posting it in this topic because of subforums ;(
