This Is The Meaning Of Life

[Kulturkampf]

No one is sure what the meaning of life is, but I think that if you look at the noun life and merely ask what the verb is, you get the answer regardless of your beliefs in the supernatural.

The point of our lives is to live.

Nothing was ever accomplished through the passive, and no one ever lived through doing nothing.

To live is to live.

It never matters if it is bad or if it is good, for all life is accented by both bad and good; to live life attempting to avoid the bad is ignorant. In our attempts to avoid the bad we end up avoiding the great.

We do not go after the woman because we are afraid of failure; we do not fight the bigger man because we are afraid of pain; and because we do not go after the best woman, and because we do not fight the biggest man, we will never know the meaning of 'best love' or 'best fight.'

Because we are afraid to write a bad poem or sing a song badly, we will never write a great poem or sing a song greatly; because we are afraid to express a bad idea, we will never express a good idea.

We will only express the mediocre and regurgitated that people expect of us.

Fear makes us equivocate, and fear makes us destroy our own potential -- we are scared we will fail at being great, so we do something mediocre because that is what everyone does.

It is better to lose 100 women, to lose 100 fights, to lose 100 of anything if you had a chance to win. If you were only to become mediocre and written off, just as anyone else, and if you were to be a slave to your own fears... What is the point of living?

We may win a fight against a smaller man, we may enjoy a moment with the woman we settled on, or we may enjoy a song someone else sang or a poem someone else wrote... But what is the point?

When you can win the great fight that you wanted, when you can enjoy the woman you wanted, when you can sing the song and write the poem that you wanted instead of what someone else said -- why would you settle for second when one only lives once?

Men are controlled by fear of failure, and so they pass up every sweet opportunity that presents itself. Every chance at glory, they fail...

And they do not fail because it was unlikely, and they do not fail because it was a great venture...

They fail because they are cowards.

A man may go to bat 1,000 times, and strike out almost just as many; but if he should hit a homerun but once... The homerun is eternal.

Others decide not to swing their bat, and rather be content with what falls into their laps. Why?

We cannot let moments go by.

My love for life is as a man who plants 10,000 seeds in hope of getting but a handful of the most beautiful flowers.

Others stop at 100 seeds or 1,000 seeds or 5,000 seeds; they are satisfied with what flowers they yield from their labor. But I can only stop at 10,000 and I would carry on had I more time.

From 10,000 seeds I will look at the yield of each, and I will accept only the best.

I will take every opportunity that I am given and exploit it.

All I need is the sweat of my brow and God's creation, and if I should be unhappy or a failure I have myself to blame for not taking every opportunity.

The meaning of life is to be brave.

The strong man is weak if he is a coward; the smart man is dumb if he is a coward; but a normal man when he is brave is worth a thousand geniuses afraid to think and a thousand musclemen afraid to fight.

NOTE: I thate cowards.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

You're like a drunk hallmark card.

[ItalianStereotype]

haha :<

I like what he says though

[Big Papa Goat]

also, will > reason right Nitz?

[Miss Modular]

The point of our lives is to live.

You make OAO seem like Einstein by comparison.

[mburbank]

You have a much chance of imparting the meaning of life as the Late Orson Welles had imparting the meaning of six pack abs.

I say this because he was very, very fat.

I said that because you don't know who Orson Welles was.

I'm saying you don't know the meaning of life. You are a little boy who drinks too much, writes cautionary tales about STDs and posts them, espouses culture war and wants tattoos on his face. You are a flappy, dippy cretin the army is crazy enough to let carry a gun.

[kahljorn]

We will never know the feeling of "Best love" or "Best fight".

:lol

We will only express the mediocre and regurgitated that people expect of us.
Usually that happens when shitty writers write shitty writings, like what you just posted for example. So mediocre. Then they continue writing because they don't think they suck, and they have this vain hope that someday their writing will be great; but it never happens. Trust me, I know, I used to hang out with "Poets" all the time.

"The homerun is eternal. "
Usually in baseball after the games over the homerun doesn't count in the next game. Sorry.

"NOTE: I thate cowards."

lithp.

JUST LIVE.

P.S. the funny thing is i was a skinhead when I was 15, 16 years old and I think you're ridiculous. I know the stupid traditions you're coming from, all that brotherhood, heart and country jazz(Don't forget about my boots :rolleyes ). I find it funny that all of your philosophies and deep-thinking are based on someone else's philosophy and deep-thinking. You're pointless, and you waste any value the skinhead philosophy had before hand(which wasn't much).
How old are you, seriously? Because I know people who would sit around and say the same ridiculous shit as you derived from the skinhead shit, then everyone would go, "WOW MAN THAT"S DEEP" (which must be the driving force behind the epiphanies you post here for us) but this was when I was 16, back when shit like this was acceptable. You seem like you fell into some retarded Scene and are grabbing it by the balls and sucking it's cock off so everyone will pet you and tell you what a good cocksucker you are.

[The One and Only...]

You sound like a retarded, fumbling version of Emerson.

[mburbank]

He sounds like you if you got hit in the head as often as he does.

[Kulturkampf]

I am 21, of course; and I am getting older in the future.

I am so excited to be alive and I have the greatest nights, and I enjoy every moment, and I seize it, and I never retreat and never give in, and I am going to always be winning. :)

I am a nationalist and my heart's blood is never diminished.

You gave up being a skinhead -- were you a typical six month skin? I am going on four years this April. Not terribly long, but no six month fucking skin.

I think you all do not know the greatness. It is like the Tao or the Holy Spirit that we live.

One day our cultural spirit will make a turn-around.

[kahljorn]

No, I just figured out that my values and moral system aren't based on a two-bit social club, and I would never accept something simply because it was accepted by my social club. The fact that you rely on them for validity(and value) of your values and whatever else speaks worlds about your actual ideas. You are more than likely just mimicing other people you "Respect" within your little click, while disregarding any self-respect. I think of you as a hollow shell.

If you're a four year skinhead why do you still have hair? Isn't that generally reserved for fresh cuts? I think you're a faker, and I'm sure whoever the other skinheads you hang out with are too. You look like that sevenforce guy, and I'd probably want to punch both of you in the face just because you have an annoying, faked face.

You're rehearsed.

I find it ironic that you use "Tao" and "Greatness" in the same thought. Jackass.

[Abcdxxxx]

skinhead? you sound like a fucking hippie. put down the hacky sack for the soul phillosphies and get some real boots.

your ability to make yourself vulnerable on a message board forum for of hecklers does say something though. even if you do sound like you secretly listen to the rent soundtrack 5 times a day.

[Dr. Boogie]

I am a nationalist and my heart's blood is never diminished.

You know, one day, KK will no longer be with us, and you all will be kicking yourselves for not giving him a "talks in intelligent sentences" thread like Vince to store great one-liners like this.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

I could sticky it!

[Kulturkampf]

No, I just figured out that my values and moral system aren't based on a two-bit social club, and I would never accept something simply because it was accepted by my social club. The fact that you rely on them for validity(and value) of your values and whatever else speaks worlds about your actual ideas. You are more than likely just mimicing other people you "Respect" within your little click, while disregarding any self-respect. I think of you as a hollow shell.

My values and morals are not based on skinhead; I am a skinhead because of my values, morals, and way of life and my far-reaching interests.

I mimic no one; I act as I wish, and I do as I please, and what I please to do is skinhead.

If you're a four year skinhead why do you still have hair? Isn't that generally reserved for fresh cuts? I think you're a faker, and I'm sure whoever the other skinheads you hang out with are too.

Why do I still have hair? That is a ridiculous question.

Whatever gave you the impression we were all skin, skin, skin bald shaved with a razor?

Most skinheads in America buzz their hair, some even put on an extention and buzz it to a #1.

Most Asian skins shave skin bald, as you are talking about, and I go back and forth.

Here is me skin bald:

(this is me drunken out of my mind immediately after a performance )

In the background you can see another skinhead who has been one for ten years -- his hair is longer than mine, of course (!). (the person over my left shoulder in the flight; the person over my right is just a close mate... i am posing with my friend's fiancee)

[Kulturkampf]

On a sidenote: Kahl....

What bands do u like?

Do u ever listen to RAC?

You do know the term freshcut, but I do not know.. Were you really a skin?

[Kulturkampf]

BTW... I like how it is supposed to bother me that folks on i-mockery.com think I am a shithead.

It does not bother me, and I will keep making myself 'easy to make fun of' and 'a victim' or whatever u want to call it until I get inexlicably bored.

But it is never boring here because I can always have a laugh.

[Pharaoh]

If you're a four year skinhead why do you still have hair? Isn't that generally reserved for fresh cuts? I think you're a faker, and I'm sure whoever the other skinheads you hang out with are too.

I don't know about American skinheads but the original 1960s British skinheads were never shaved completely bald, they usually got a number four cut at the barbers.

Look at this photo of 1960s London skinheads, the look was very short and neat but not a 'Kojak'. It's surprising how long their hair was back then, but you have to take into consideration that other men all had longish hair over their ears at that time.

http://i2.tinypic.com/oucayh.jpg

[Pharaoh]

Skinheads now sometimes have it completely shaved, but slightly longer hair is still a full skinhead look, it's a personal choice.

[Kulturkampf]

Yeah, Pharoah sums it up.

[Dole]

I am getting older in the future.

come on! we need an 'intelligent sentences' sticky.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

It takes work, though. Max can attest to that.

And this guy would be more difficult than Vince. Vince pops in every now and then, says one thing, and is back to the hospital for another 6 months.

Kitty is prolific.

[mburbank]

Plus, Vinth came righht out and said he talked in intelligent sentences, which gave me a rubric under which to collect him.

I agree, KiddyLit coughs up many gems along with his teeth. If someone can find me a good premiss under which to classify his work, I'll see what I can do. I certainly find his use of language intriguing.

Oh and

"I am so excited to be alive and I have the greatest nights, and I enjoy every moment, and I seize it, and I never retreat and never give in, and I am going to always be winning."

Two words: Crystal Meth.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Kulturkampf: "I am fucking living, man, fucking living!"

I like that theme.

[mburbank]

That's not bad Kev. All it's gonna take is one slow work day.

[kahljorn]

the skins I hung out with considered themselves "Mods", although most of them shaved their heads it was considered acceptable to have crazy preppy-like mod hair. I really just said that to fuck with you, and to see how you'd respond.

"I mimic no one; I act as I wish, and I do as I please, and what I please to do is skinhead."

Why would you join a social club so bent on creating a certain standard of person, then? What's the point of joining in the first place if it's not to conform, to some extent, and become a "Better man" through some people's perception? What's the SKINHEAD CULTURE?

"My values and morals are not based on skinhead"

Really? Because they sound strikingly similar to every other skinheads belief(is this the kind of coincidence that made you KNOW you were a skinhead?). Did you have the exact same beliefs when you joined, or did they kind of develop by reflection of other skinheads? If your beliefs have been the same for four years, what the fuck? Where's your development?
I can't believe you're ridiculous enough to believe that being a part of a "Brotherhood" doesn't change you, that's the BASIC goal of ANY brotherhood.
If your values aren't valuable because you're a skinhead, then why did you judge my "Validity" by how long I'd been a skinhead for compared to you?
I'm pretty sure being a skinhead is a very important thing to you, you make it seem so anyway.

:lol you look hilarious with no hair ;(

Most of the skinhead values are skindeep. They talk about heart and all of this shit, but their values are so stagnant and boring. I love the idea that you think you can create some kind of cultural reform out of it, and yet you imply that skinhead philosophy hasn't even changed you in the slightest. Everything about skinhead philosophy is incomplete; as a culture, as a philosophy, even as a feeling it fails mightily(they'd even fail at writing hallmark cards).
Apparantly, even as far as developing people(culture) into something better it has managed to fail. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, it's a good thing because it's such an incomplete system. You'd have people running around saying how good they are and how strong their hearts are while everything falls down around them and the only response they'd have was, "Be strong! USE THE POWER OF YOUR HEART!".

If you want to be involved in the field of culturization at least take part in it in an exemplary fashion. Don't you understand that if you're planning on taking any of your values beyond what they are, you're going to have to be a shining example of them? So far all you've done is talk out of your ass and share pretty sounding poetry with us. That's not who you actually are, it's just a face you put on to hide how scared you are.
If you weren't scared inside, you wouldn't make such a point to hymn confidence boosters like mantras in order to avoid 50% of the questions you are aske. This is apt especially as far as self-analyzation goes, you don't even seem to have the "Heart" or willpower to judge yourself and try to make yourself a better person. You instead rely on the fact that you're already a good person, which to me is lame. Accepting the weaknesses of humanity is one of the greatest strengths you can have, especially if you're talking about "Culture" and want to make some kind of change in the world. Which type of hypocricy does that represent?

P.S. Every argument I've had with you so far you've pussed out of, especially the homosexual one. Where's your brave little heart? Let's hope you keep strong in this one, not that I will have much else to say after this.

[mburbank]

"Be strong! USE THE POWER OF YOUR HEART!".

That's the Skinhead Mantra?! Oh my God, Skinheads are Sailorscouts!

[ziggytrix]

Ma-ti became the planeteer of Heart, able to communicate with others telepathically and feel and convey emotions directly. Though not powerful in the way of action, Ma-ti's power is considered by some to be the most important, for it keeps the planeteers together and helps them to be in tune with not just nature, but the people with which they interact. Ma-ti's power can also influence the feelings of others, enabling him to draw aid from creatures in the surrounding area. (This should not be confused with mind control; Ma-ti's powers can only influence behavior by drawing out what kindness already exists in a being's heart; as such, most villanous people are barely influenced by the power, and it has no effect at all over beings of pure evil, such as Zarm). His power was also necessary to call Captain Planet, as the other four combined could not(it's possible that Captain Planet's essence was channeled solely through the heart ability, and the other rings merely gave him extra abilities). Though many of the show's critics often cite his power as being "useless" because it is called heart.

Ma-ti is the most compassionate of the planeteers. While Ma-ti is both wise and learned about the ways of nature, some of the more modern forms of entertainment can consume him, such as an episode in which he was so obsessed with mystery novels that he began treating missions like mystery stories.

The monkey that Ma-ti rescued from the jaguar stayed with him after joining the planeteers and was named Suchi. For the most part, Suchi's role in the series is rather small, though on occasion he may serve a role in the movement of the plot or some sort of comic endeavor. For the most part, however, Suchi remains a token to Ma-ti's heart.

It is also worth nothing that Ma-ti, while being caring when saving the monkey (Suchi), was actually interfering with the natural order of things whereas normally, the monkey would have been devoured.

[mburbank]

I am so sorry, the Sailor Scouts would kick the Planateers ass. And they wouldn't blled from the face like a bunch of sissy ass drunken skinheads when they did it, either.

They'd be all "MOOOOON... HEALING.....CRYSTAL... ACTIVATION!!" and the Planateers would be dusted and the Skinheads would be all "Wa-ah?"

[ItalianStereotype]

how the hell do you know so much about sailor moon?

[mburbank]

Dude. Two daughters.



Oh, and I am as gay as the day is long.

[Pharaoh]

Oh, and I am as gay as the day is long.

Yeah we know that, butface.

[mburbank]

Now you DREAM that, Felicity!

HAH!


You are so gay for me it's painful. But I am strictly for the ladies.

[Pharaoh]

Well, I'm afraid I'm not gay
...but maybe if you covered your face (and the rest of your body) but got your b :boob :boob bs out, I could possibly...

...no, maybe not.
Although could I see them, please? I've heard all about them but I couldn't find your photo. :eek

[mburbank]

They are lucious, and not for little girls like you.

[Kulturkampf]

the skins I hung out with considered themselves "Mods", although most of them shaved their heads it was considered acceptable to have crazy preppy-like mod hair. I really just said that to fuck with you, and to see how you'd respond.

Really, now.

"I mimic no one; I act as I wish, and I do as I please, and what I please to do is skinhead."

Why would you join a social club so bent on creating a certain standard of person, then? What's the point of joining in the first place if it's not to conform, to some extent, and become a "Better man" through some people's perception? What's the SKINHEAD CULTURE?

The same reason you join the military -- you know your heart is in that place, and you agree with the fundamental philosophies and you want to become something more through their emulation and execution.

"My values and morals are not based on skinhead"

Really? Because they sound strikingly similar to every other skinheads belief(is this the kind of coincidence that made you KNOW you were a skinhead?). Did you have the exact same beliefs when you joined, or did they kind of develop by reflection of other skinheads? If your beliefs have been the same for four years, what the fuck? Where's your development?

It is coincidence; being a punk rocker most of my youth, it eventually became time to move on. I wanted to be with the skins because they represented a better value system to me, and a commitment to higher sense of ideals.

Skinhead is not a political manifesto, nor is it necessarily some extremely rich culture; it is a mere way of life and attitude that one embraces while living.

Skinhead is not politics or religion, these are different, and so we go along and do our own bit on our own.

I can't believe you're ridiculous enough to believe that being a part of a "Brotherhood" doesn't change you, that's the BASIC goal of ANY brotherhood.
If your values aren't valuable because you're a skinhead, then why did you judge my "Validity" by how long I'd been a skinhead for compared to you?
I'm pretty sure being a skinhead is a very important thing to you, you make it seem so anyway.

It does not change you; it gives me diff. music to listen to, friends the world over, and people to drink with, etc. but I do not feel as if it is some radicalizing element. I think it encourages courage on much higher levels, though.

:lol you look hilarious with no hair ;(

Haha, I do not mind; it works out for me well.

Most of the skinhead values are skindeep. They talk about heart and all of this shit, but their values are so stagnant and boring. I love the idea that you think you can create some kind of cultural reform out of it, and yet you imply that skinhead philosophy hasn't even changed you in the slightest. Everything about skinhead philosophy is incomplete; as a culture, as a philosophy, even as a feeling it fails mightily(they'd even fail at writing hallmark cards).

I think that skinhead has the most values to offer people in the sense of working class and national esteem as well as national identity; it teaches to have a pride in oneself and one's way of life.

Apparantly, even as far as developing people(culture) into something better it has managed to fail. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing, it's a good thing because it's such an incomplete system. You'd have people running around saying how good they are and how strong their hearts are while everything falls down around them and the only response they'd have was, "Be strong! USE THE POWER OF YOUR HEART!".

It is not like that, it is more of a "because you have a strong heart, you are going to do the work necessary to achieve your goals and endure whatever hardship comes."

If you want to be involved in t[he field of culturization at least take part in it in an exemplary fashion. Don't you understand that if you're planning on taking any of your values beyond what they are, you're going to have to be a shining example of them? So far all you've done is talk out of your ass and share pretty sounding poetry with us. That's not who you actually are, it's just a face you put on to hide how scared you are.

You do not know who I am.

I think of myself as a good person because I only do what I think is good. I know I have shortcomings and I will try to work on them.

P.S. Every argument I've had with you so far you've pussed out of, especially the homosexual one. Where's your brave little heart? Let's hope you keep strong in this one, not that I will have much else to say after this.

I will be leaving for the field for a week on Saturday (which is tomorrow in korea time), so there u have it; I probably wont stick this out as you like.

I work for our country.

[mburbank]

Heart, heart, heart. What are you a friggin' Care Bear?

On your journey from 'Punk Rocker' to 'Skinhead', here are some identity stops you can look forward to in the future.

'Hopeless drunk'

'Homeless hopeless drunk'

'VA hanger onner'

'Scientologist'

'Reborn Christian Fundamentalist'

'Reborn Christian Fundamentalist Amway Salesman'

'Homeless crazy person'

'Unclaimed body'

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Really, now.

[mburbank]

Oh it just steams me Kev! "Oh, Oh, I'm such an individual have an easily named identity cubby hole where I can meet other unique individuals who have decided they also need a cubby whole where their unique individuality can be validated by folks who dress the same, think the same, listen to the same music and have the same haircut!" It's all well and good if your twelve, but taken beyond that it's pathetic.

Identity seekers fall into three categories.

1.) Those who grow out of it.

2.) Those who grow into it and become horrid cogs, some as inoffensive and potentially useful as Rotarians and Kiwannis, and some as Noxious and dangerous as Brownshirts and The Lord's Liberation Army.

3.) People who move from one subculture to another throughout their lives, always sure that the stop their on is the terminus that all their life has been leading up to.

[mburbank]

I AM GENUINELY ANGRY NOW!!!

[Preechr]

Go GOTH!

Or wait, hey... Try putting those x's on either side of your s/n! That always looks really kewl!

[The One and Only...]

I like how kulturkampf finds the meaning of life in killing others for the sake of our country. I can see him curbstomping an arab right now.

God, he's so alive!

[Kulturkampf]

I hate straight edge.

I have been a skin since 02.

I think I will give it up when I get married, whenever that may be (probably another decade).

But thankfully, tattoos are forever. I will always be able to prove that once I was young and had a good time.

[KevinTheOmnivore]

The STDs will serve the same purpose.

[mburbank]

OAO, I don't find KlimaxKilt's narrative any less riddled with paradox and self adoration than your own. People who live on top of grotesquely overdeveloped thighs shouldn't throw clove cigarettes at Instinctual Skin head soldiers.

You are both I-mockery clowns juggling sharp objects badly and cutting your selves over and over.

[kahljorn]

He needs to prove that he was "Cool" in the future, everybody keep that in mind.

[Kulturkampf]

He needs to prove that he was "Cool" in the future, everybody keep that in mind.

No, I need to prove that I lived.

[kahljorn]

Oh really? As if being alive now isn't enough proof that you were alive a few years ago? usually people don't magically appear out of thin air.
How does a tattoo prove you were "Alive"? People get tattoos all the time and it proves little more than the fact that they got a tattoo. I see people with tattoos all the time and I've never looked at it and gone, "Wow, that person was really alive before he killed a part of his flesh and filled it with ink".
Sometimes people prove they were alive by telling a story about their tattoo, but that's more in the story than in the tattoo.
Your motivations are hilarious.

Maybe you should consider carving a statue because when you're finally dead(the time I'm assuming it owuld be important to prove how alive you were) the skin has a habit of decaying.

[Kulturkampf]

I am going to get a fully body suit eventually. I will tkae a picture.

I am not talking about a small tattoo.

I am tlaking about a body in tattoos.

I am talking about something that is demonstrative of a commitment to a higher ideal.

[executioneer]

hahahaha oh shit :lol

[Dole]

I am tlaking about a body in tattoos.

I am talking about something that is demonstrative of a commitment to a higher ideal.


That high ideal being, presumably, 'I'm going to cover myself in shit tattoos'.

[mburbank]

I personally like tattoos, always have, and would have them myself if not for the fact that nowadays every asshole has them and it would be like getting a mullet that wouldn't go away without laser surgery.

So, what higher ideal (other than spending a lot of money) does getting a lot of tattoos like lot of other people commit you to? Is it just that you intend to get more?

[ziggytrix]

LOL, He thinks it's a committment to a higher ideal cuz he's going to get politically/socially motivated tattoos, and because he's braindead enough that his political/social values will always be identical to their current state (thanks to emotional/intellectual retardation!) so it's OK that they're permanent!

If I'm mistaken I'll be so disappointed.

[ItalianStereotype]

my tattoos will be infinitely worse than his because they're going to be comic book related. :<

[mburbank]

I should get lots of tattoos of things I don't like or believe in, in hopes that when I'm old I'll have the right tattoos.

[Pharaoh]

You'd have to be a millionaire to cover your body in tattoos, butwank, maybe you should just get your b :boob :boob bs tattooed, that would be really cool.

[mburbank]

Say, that was really funny.

[Kulturkampf]

My tattoos are not really political. They are eternal ideas about how you live your life.

I live my life like a fish. Or a butterfly. Or a horse. Or a diseased poet.

I fucking love it.

My tattoos, my self! My way, like Frank Sinatra and Sid Vicious.

[Spectre X]

I'm so sad that you didn't have a twin to strangle you in the womb.

[Kulturkampf]

I would have been reborn as your mom's new boyfriend.

[Miss Modular]

I'm going to just scrawl myself with magic marker. :(

[Fathom Zero]

You should use Sharpie, like me!

[GADZOOKS]

or in your case, a NOT SO SHARPie
