Indeed that would be closer, but I like using fuck in a very specific way.

So like that is the fucking dumbest thing I've ever seen
or
God, that person is so fucking retarded
and
so forth.

How about:

This post is fucking shit.

Closer?

I don't think I'd use dat, but I do try to keep my mind open to new linguistic morphology.

I notice you occasionally enjoy employing a mild gangsterism, so thought it was appropriate. But correction is appreciated

Cracked's guide to Prog Rock, enjoy.

There are a few prog rock bands I really like, but I was still really amused by this.

The three statements made to me in my life that have made me the happiest:

1. I now pronounce you man and wife.

2. Congratulations, it's a boy.

3. We, the people find the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty.

Oof, what a rough morning.

Awesome!  Must have just been a defective disc then.

Man, what a week this has been.

Man, what a week this has been.

Cold and raining every day, stressful week at work, completely blew an important quiz because I was simply not prepared, completely broke, etc.

I just need to remind myself that I'll inevitably have weeks like these and that it's worth it to work through them. And there's always music.

Why would anyone eat regular Oreos when you have Double Stuf?

[ibanezmonster]

Working on a Java program... I call it "Query Sender." Multiple user can connect to a database and send query results back and forth to each other.

But more interesting is the idea I have for my next program... it would be a program where you can generate various modern classical music formulas- right now, I'm considering the tone row and the infinity series. You can do either manual or random and hear playback as well. For the infinity series, I'd probably limit the amount of playback notes to 100 or so. For the tone rows, I'd do all of the transformations, including possibly IR. Maybe I'll even do Xenakis pitch sieves...

Because the creme is the worst part of an Oreo?

Exactly. I'd prefer an Oreo variation that came without any filling

I can't believe how easy it is to imitate Prokofiev dead-on... I may have to write a "Prokofiev piece" one day. 

[ibanezmonster]

Ha!
Theodore Ziras, the greatest guitarist in Greece, commented on my video of me playing a cover of one of his songs- said it was great. 

[Renfield]

Nice!

(Now if only I knew who that fellow was. )

You should hold a 'Compose Like Prokofiev' Day.

[ibanezmonster]

lol well, greatest in Greece who does the neoclassical/shred/post-Yngwie/whatever style of playing. I definitely got my sweeping and tapping arpeggios that I play a lot from him.

You should hold a 'Compose Like Prokofiev' Day.

That would be cool. Not sure how many people I could get to do that... what would be cool would be to write a piano sonata in the style of Prokofiev- have 4 movements, with each movement being written by someone different.

Irony for the day: "[T]he decision to award the Nobel Prize to Ralph Steinman was made in good faith, based on the assumption that the Nobel Laureate was alive," the foundation said.
