Dignity and my English language

Again Merry Christmas to all

It has come to my attention that many poets on this site write very well with English being their second language

This is not an xmas thread or an xxxmas thread, but feel free to get what is on your mind off of your chest
Love is a four letter word, but home is where the heart is

Has there ever been a word in the English language abused as much as the word love?

Kids are the offspring of old goats and I have been accused of being both at one time or another

pardon my french

Haha this thread sounds cool ??

and the title lmaoo.What the hell?
Random..

It has come to my attention that many poets on this site write very well with English being thier second language

^^^
Well I speak 3 languages but hmmm some people think that ( I can't piece together a sentence). However, I am not sure about that a lot. Because others don't really agree. Unless those who talk to me or read my work are too unacknowledged to notice :)

Nevertheless I hope what's written above is not so (indecipherable) for anyone.
But if it is; please don't hesitate to send me a pm for further explanation.. :P

Dignity ?

I believe many of humans forget about that.
We forget about it, and inevitably sink superficially in gossips, perhaps through prejudice, and sometimes people stab others in the back.

But who knows ? Maybe, knights will rise up over, and over again from behind the bars, and save this humanity.

what do you think mike?

''It has come to my attention that many poets on this site write very well with English being thier second language''

living in an eastern country, I'll tell you yes that's true, some are even better at grammar than most people with English as a first language, but you'll be impressed only until you get to hear their accents. XD

what has been on my mind lately? I was wondering about my choices and if I am on the right path (Pocahontas much?) and if it's not too late to change paths if i'm on wrong one. sometimes I wish I could see my life ten years from now to know if this is what I'm supposed to be doing, if this is where I'm supposed to be.

Perhaps knights will rise up over and over again from behind the bars and save this humanity.

I love the knights analogy. We all have our own crusade. A great poet once said diversity is what makes us tick, but I think there is a unity that holds us together when we are wound up. How could someone name a site poems and quotes while discouraging quotes that were not meant to be formal?

I get frustrated when I am accused of forcing a rhyme when the rhythmn and rhyme forces me to look at subjective expression from the point of the expressor, whether it is texting shorthand, or simple typos how can we be Gibran's and Robert Burns 24/7 in mass comunications. Only the less famous get "refudiated" as a half term governor might say

google that "XD

PS The spirits of my English teachers that have passed on are beating me over the head for spelling their "thier"

I believe I am of Irish descent but all Irish jokes are welcome from the Assies

Australian brain transplant joke
An Englishman wanted to become an Irishman, so he visited a doctor to find out how to go about this. "Well" said the doctor, "this is a very delicate operation and there is a lot that can go wrong. I will have to remove half your brain". "That's OK" said the Englishman. "I've always wanted to be Irish and I'm prepared to take the risk".

The operation went ahead but the Englishman woke to find a look of horror on the face of the doctor. "I'm so terribly sorry!!" the doctor said. "Instead of removing half the brain, I've taken the whole brain out". The patient replied, "No worries, mate!!"

I wish I could see my life ten years from now to know if this is what I'm supposed to be doing, if this is where I'm supposed to be.

^^^^
Nor; Oh how I wish almost the same.
But I believe we all will discover the right path..Sooner or later .

^^LOL
better you than me

"But I believe we all will discover the right path..Sooner or later"
beautiful thought

No harm in borrowing from the masters on our journey

The Beloved: Reflections on the Path of the Heart
Kahlil Gibran, John Walbridge, Robin A. Waterfield

For Kahlil Gibran, love was a way -- perhaps the supreme way -- of achieving self-realization and completeness as a human being. The Beloved is about transforming one's own life through love's allconsuming power. These exquisite writings on love, marriage, and the spiritual union of souls adds a fresh dimension to our understanding of the philosophy of love and its role in contemporary society.

How nice :) I love this..

''PS The spirits of my English teachers that have passed on are beating me over the head for spelling their "thier" ''

well at least you noticed your mistake and they must be proud of you now. XD and yes, i noticed that but thought it a typo, If it makes you feel better Michael, I do that a lot. only difference is, my English teachers are not spirits yet and I can get in real trouble.

''But I believe we all will discover the right path..Sooner or later . ''

It would be too late then? Not that I have any choice really. I'm always the most impatient.

"It would be too late then? Not that I have any choice really. I'm always the most impatient."

I do a lot of agonizing over that. I'm so worried that I'm not going to chose "the right path for my life" or something. I'm scared to commit to a job or a place, out of fear that there's a better job or place that I'm missing. (I think that's what you're saying, at least?)

Sometimes I try to tell myself I can't live every life that's out there. I just have to live mine, and the choices I make become a part of that path. It helps me from gnawing over my regrets all the time. But then, I don't always believe that, so..... yup!

Back to English grammar!

Yes, to a point. but it's more of conflicting paths, not better ones. and yes, I tell that to myself all the time.

Ever since I can remember everyone wanted me to go someway, we all know parents and family and their already made plans for every child, and yet, I kept being stubborn and holding on to something else. they'd say right, I'd say left, mostly because right was were everyone went and I never liked crowds, not to mention they didn't have any reason why they wanted me to go that way expect that it would better or they know better. I shouldn't be going that other way because it's not for me, they don't approve, people will talk..etc. But I'd insist and after discussions, arguments and grounding even, they'd support me in whatever I chose, that's what parents and family do.

Now I've found that I don't ''feel'' were I am or were am going. I don't feel my choices. I don't know where to go from here, it's getting more complicated and more confusing. It's like I've done nothing really the last 20 years and I fear I'd look back after another 20 years and feel the same, that I've done nothing. and then comes other choices and I think maybe I should listen to them, but I can't either. It's like I almost long for something else and I fight for it, then when I'm there, almost, I lose interest and I don't feel satisfied. I feel like there is something not right, something is missing. like it's not enough, it's not what I thought or it's not what I should be doing.

maybe I'm just ungrateful? probably. I have the best of families, the best of education, the best of life, the best of everything. yet, yet I don't know.

I'm probably boring you all. don't know what's gotten into me. I need someone to tell me how ridiculous I sound, that should help straighting me out. Too much time on my hands, I guess, my mind acts strangely when i'm not busy. more like it makes itself busy with all the wrong things. I'll be questioning my existence anytime soon!

Britt, I like your grandpa, and thank you, I'm just rather pitiful every now and then.

so what's been lately on your mind? both, you and Sib actually, I wonder.

"I think all of us go through that questioning phase. I always worry I will look back in yen years and regret something..especially NOT doing something."

Thanks for showing that everyone is human
When I think back on my last yen years
I have wondered what life would be like if we were made in Japan? They could have made us cheaper with rewind and edit buttons

In zen we live for the moment, though we all know there will be a price to pay, but in the yin and yang even mistakes have balance, even in an old goat's life, who feels the need to warn kids that the path of least resistance does not always take us where we thought we wanted to go.

You guys are all confusing with this uni(avatar)form...

I think Michael was comparing us to made in Japan/china products and cartoons and weighting the options between this and us being human?

I think this whole avatar thing is cute, lovely really, but maybe different colors for each member would be less confusing? not all in red and green? oh wait, red and green? Christmas colors? silly me, never noticed until now. Thank God you all have your names down there.

what is it with your dad? and your Christmas? yes, as far as I know, holidays are supposed to be fun and happy.

Are you talking about the original post or the joke about typos?

The joke about the typos LOL (I have to truly LOL this time) I never noticed this ''yen'' years! I read them TEN! you see when I read fast, I think my brain corrects mistakes on it's own without me really noticing anything wrong! does sound Chinese/Japanese though. truly, so yen-ish.

Britt, I never knew you were bilingual XD

I can't stop laughing. oh my.

Michael, you clever person you! I didn't even notice the joke! apparently I'm dumb XD

Back to English grammar!
^^and
Dignity!

lmaoooo Nor ma32ol ma ntabahte hahaha :P I actually noticed it the 1st time; and when Mike repeated it after Brit. I cracked up.

And lol @ the products part.
Yes Brit I guess he was comparing us that way as well; you know.. Some products LACK the enough skills to be out for sale . Ineligible :)

I guess you don't have to tire yourself, and search for "correlation",
because it's one of the most important thing's that this thread lacks.
Obviously.

Unless Mike got something else over his mind, lol , feel free to share dear. Despite thinking about Kids ?

{see Britt, no correlation}

I don't have any kids so I guess that means I am not an old goat. I must admit that I see correlations where others do not. It does my heart so much good when I see young adults search for purpose with dignity. I could not resist the Japanese currency pun. I remember a time when you seen a made in Japan label it meant that the product lacked quality. I once took a tin toy appart and found the label of a ham can label printed on the inside. Now the rewind button is obselete but it seems many find the need to delete. I guess the temptation of returning to old habits is too much for many of us. It is easir to judge a book by its cover than to read the language within

LOL no you are not an old goat, I believe.

Oh well, I can't see the correlation between some parts actually, but (can) in others.

Pretty funny; lacks quality, AND well cheaper ? lol

I see young adult search for purpose with dignity

like meeeeeeeeeee :P?

It is easier to judge a book by its cover than to read the language within

mmm I am afraid this is a way of living, now a days. But we can't fix stupid.

What I didn't get is, what's all about your French lol ?

Merci but you should hear the way I pronounce Hors d'uvre I was born in Kentucky and raised in the hills of Tennessee, my first language was hillbilly

Yes, Nana you search for purpose

LOL oh God now I do love my English accent a lot, but I doubt I will be proud about your french accent,still, I can help you better it lol.

Don't come near Arabic though, I doubt you can learn that, not this life.

I doubt it too, but I would love to hear your french

And I was wondering lol Michael did you mean Horst d'oeuvre

???
as Appetizers

Edited :

or Am I wrong
O_o

I actually thought this was a ''get off your chest what's on your mind'' thread. whatever it is. why all this talk about correlations? just roll with the thread.

about products, don't you just hate it when some people glue themselves to your door and insists you'll buy? it's most frustrating. especially that most of the products are trash. mind you, they are not only poor in quality and cheap, but they're EVERYWHERE. it's crazy really. I wish I can set most of them aflame at times. useless. just useless. but to be honest some people can't really afford any more than them.

I find it rather funny when someone would want to learn Arabic and people would teach them all the hard words. like ''estakooza'' i mean, seriously, what are they thinking.

^^^^^^
HAHAHAHAHAH

estakooza?

what the hell does that mean..?? I really don't know it

Lobster XD

Ooohhh Lebanese people call it :

salta3oon

LOL

I like estakoza more, it's more lobster-ish.

salta3oon sounds like a Genie!

Hahahahahh genie?

for god sake, what kind of imagination do you have lol.
That's funny

and they call umm Shrimps ( eraydess)

You have to admit it does. even more of a scary genie.

I like eraydess more than our ''gambarey''

Lol gambarey ? I heard Adel Imam saying that in one of his films, I did not know he meant Shrimps lol.

And ya i admit; but they call it (Sortan l baher) kamen.. which is a bit royal :P haha

You were not wrong Nana French appetizers I googled and pasted but even the computor screwed it up

Nana you are the only trilingual I have ever chatted with online

Hahahaah LOL

I actually know German as well, but i am still a beginner; I have 4 courses to end. Then I will be fluent ( or I hope).

Amazing

Norgihan is the same I guess ? Most of the schools here in East teach students more than one language.

but I continued German and French @ uni.

Yes, Nana, you have to study at least two languages besides Arabic here. I studied both French and German as a second and third language at school. it's sad that most of them were lost due to lack the of practice. such a shame really. but I'm brushing them at feb and also starting Spanish courses. hopefully insha'allah.

Wie geht es dir heute, Nana? Hast du gut gegessen? :)

Mir geht es gut NGRIDD ..lol und nein, nicht viel..

ich liebe dich meine liebe

Ich beschaftige mich in der kuche..aber wollte sehen wie se mit dir geht:) Ich habe viel zu viel gegessen heute.
