I DON'T give up

Post Reply New Topic

Thats right. I don't give up. I'm not going to give up. I'm not finished, yet.

I give up. My operating system disk is a potential fridge magnet project and no longer a storage device. After I've removed the magnets to use on the fridge door I'll try to set the aluminium chassie of a IBM DeskStar on fire with some oxidator. The darn disk has been working/erroneous/working/erroneous since ths summer. Sometimes my kids have to wait about a minute before easy quicktime based games work due to the failed boot / OS drive.

**HATRED** **HATRED** **HATRED**

I Live to be a pain in the ass!

Make sure you don't turn toward's me then

I don't give up either! That is a great attitude to have!

Yeah I will give up only when they pry my keyboard from my cold dead hands.

I won't give up...I think.

If I had given up, I'd of been dead....................in Januaray. as in this past Januaray o6

Finally, someone positive, even if they are a meance to society.

Ahhh... you're just like Jay Gatsby with that attitude: "Of course you can!"

Today I was in a conversation with some NT guys (not that it's important...) and the subject eventually got to girls.

Where I am passive when it comes to the topic of girlfriends and relationships, the other two guys were very active and never gave up persuing their dreams of having relationships. If they saw a girl they liked (ugh... love at first sight) they would, as Jay Gatsby did with Daisy Buchanan, make the pursuit of that girl their prime goal.

Yeah. Pardon the Great Gatsby references. I'm reading that book for English class and am trying desperately to relate to it, but I think Fitsgerald's prose is too distant and his language too dry for the deep emotions he is trying to convey.

There are times you should give up, though.

There's a guy at my work that constantly asks all te girls over to his house, and after they've said no several hundred times, they resort to things like "F*CK OFF and leave me alone!!" And he still keeps asking them.

Right on, man! I'm not giving up either. f**k giving up! Well, except on individual cases--definately those. But on dating altogether? Hells no.

I do.

Aleclair.

you're trying to find deeper significance and meaning in The Great Gatsby? ermm......wow, I'm impressed, because last time I checked, there is no deeper meaning, then the fact that it's all about society, doing what it wants to.

The "Great" Gatsby is one of the worst books I've ever read. By the time I finished reading that piece of sardine for my 11th grade English class, I felt like shooting it with a razorblade bullet. It was a good thing I didn't have one. XD (End psycho-parody.) Seriously, though, that book was awful.

t h

would a menace to society be at his parents house for christmas eating his 2 year old nieces animal crackers?

Hale_Bop - I dont go on the pursuit for many girls, only the few interesting ones and they don't appear too often in my life. I just havent given up the idea that one can still find their way into it

Veresae - Exactly!

Seigneur - that made me laugh

Yeah. Our English teacher seems to think Fitzgerald's prose is the best thing since sliced bread and that Fitzgerald used every word intentionally. But as I said earlier, I think his prose is limiting and constraining. And very distant.

I finished Gatsby yesterday and felt like taking a long break from reading serious literature. I went and took Douglas Adams off the shelf - something you don't need to be thinking of complex webs of character intention and interaction to get.

I don't know if I loved or hated the novel yet, but I'll probably think of it as I do of The Lord of the Flies (another novel with an excessively distant narrator).

Now back to the thread's topic...
