Ha, thanks for the feedback on my poem
-V

You STILL amaze me! I'm enjoying rediscovering you and your work! Thank you

please do not comment on my work thank you

what r u talking about crazy man??

hey thanks for the poem comment :)
how are you?

Please keep your comments to yourself if you're going to insult me. Thank you.

I hate that I come here during my school day to actually FINISH THE STORY only to find that you've taken it down. Make your shit accessible!

Thank you for naming me as "one of the most read poets" on this site and for the proposal. =) I absolutely agree! It'll help hasten my skills to write with someone and besides, it could help me get over the writer's block I'm severely experiencing ... I have to warn you though, I write pretty slowly and note that I'm still an amateur so my part of the work might not be as good as yours ... I hope that's okay with you though ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) Sorry I've haven't read the poem you sent me yet, but I will in the next few days. =) How's the one about your brother's girlfriend?

Hello, it's been awhile ^.^ I'm sorry I haven't replied back in awhile-- I've been swamped with makeup work for school. I'm leaving the country on Sunday, and I'm probably never check my Mibba over there, so yeah ^_^

hmm...
is... two million dollars to high of an asking price?

haha. I really have no idea, if you're being serious. I don't think I could write your biography though, seeing as I don't know nearly enough about you.
You should be the one to write your autobiography. There's no way I could translate the language of your mind into my own. (I mean "language" figuratively, not as in from Russian to English.)

are you asking how much money I'd pay you to write it?
I'm not sure I understand the question you're asking.

I suppose that's correct.

And I don't want it to seem like I'm leaving because the conversation is "exhausted,"
but I'm actually going to sleep now. So I thought I would just tell you because I'm so used to people yelling at me "You never said goodbye!!!!" when I stop texting or chatting or whatever. You probably don't give a shit, but my second-guessing and indecisiveness would come back to haunt me if I didn't over explain and ramble through this entire comment.

I apologize for that mess! ^^^

I am sensing that you have a lot of personal experience in the area of being annoyed with "What's up?"-ers. (I wasn't sure what to call them, what word to use.)
I'm afraid I've been one of the offenders, but I think I mostly did it for the sake of responding to someone when I really had nothing left to say to them, but didn't want to hurt their feelings. Which seems absurd to me now, because it's such a stupid silly question.
Like a pity vote, I guess.

I don't do that anymore, I don't think. I'll have to make an effort to stop myself if I'm ever about to succumb to the urge.

Ha I was so much closer to the true meaning than I thought I was!
Besides that kayaking part anyway.

And yes I do in fact enjoy enjoy your company. And sometimes it's easier to converse with you than others because I'm absolutely horrible at carrying on with people where all it is is "What's up?" "Not much. You?" "Same. Bored. Listening to music."
And then the awkwardness inside of me is like, "Oh shit how do I respond?!"

Because I'm actually not much of a small talker. Strange that I can never stop talking, but I'm actually terrible at it.
But I like to discuss things and argue them, maybe since I'm a stubborn rude little brat at heart. That's what my father would tell you, at least.

You really do have the most interesting life. You should write an autobiography. I'd buy it for sure.
I don't read much Russian (...obviously) but I just started to read Crime and Punishment a week ago. It's probably lame that I'm only reading his most famous work first, but I just found it in the depths of my book shelf and decided to go for it. It's really good so far, and I'm only on page 10-ish.

And here is what I got when I copied & pasted your Russian into an online translator:
Will impart, мееня завут Брандонов. Kind диен! Кахк башавиоытех, paradise? Eyes херрышау спасцеба, I паза'вах!

Through my own deciphering, I know that the EXACT direct meaning is: "Hello, my name is Brandon. Good day! Do you enjoy kayaking, Rae? If so, then hurry and kayak to witness paradise!"

There are possibly a few errors in my translation. Maybe.
But I severely DOUBT IT.

oh my goodness! Your terrible secret: Russian is your first language!
You just keep it coming with the fascinating surprises. You'd probably make a great documentary subject.
And honestly... I don't think I ever would've guessed that English wasn't your first language. I think it's because I was more focused on the caliber of your writing instead of the content and culture. I'll make a point to try reading into it more and find little signs, if there are any.
I wish I was fluent in two languages. I'm in second year Japanese, but... I never study so I don't really absorb much. I can write well so far, but I can hardly speak or understand it.
Were you born in Russia? How did it come to be that English isn't your first language?

And, I know that when parents fight, other people (who really aren't involved in the situation... like myself!) aren't supposed to take sides and be like, "the mom is such a bitch!"
... but your baby mama is such a bitch. I hope everything works out for you in court, and that you kick her ass! (Sounds like you kinda already did though.)


I quite enjoyed the picture of your son (Vincent? I think) with his king's crown.
I feel like it was very...fitting. Looks like you've got a great kid :)

I think you should do it. If you didn't want to judge it though, then I don't know who would, because there aren't many people on here like you. Actually, there ISN'T anyone on here like you. And I think you'd probably be the best judge because of your experience and... integrity.
I like the idea of rounds though because I've never heard of that before in a contest, and it sounds like it'd be the best way to judge and evaluate if what the author was trying to say came out in the poem.


So what else have you been up to lately? I don't really know much of your personal life. It's not my business anyway, but I'm a curious person so I thought I'd ask.

I have an idea: You should hold a poetry contest on here!
Get some serious people to enter, and just see if there are people searching for poets like you!
You could judge it and then really better evaluate some higher-class poems, because I think people who enter things in contests spend more time and effort on them than those who just "click, post!" them to the poetry section.

It's probably a stupid proposal, but I just thought "Hey, maybe!" so I took a shot at it.

Also, I meant to say "I will keep my eye out...) In the first line of my comment below. I do not like errors like that.

Yeah, I'll keep my out out for similar poems.
But I do think many people, including myself, use poetry as therapy, and that's why lots of them are so direct. Sometimes I can't realize my feelings until they're written out. Granted that, I usually go back a few days later and see how mediocre the poem is, but it still helped me at the time. So I can see how you are saying things are much more autobiographical- much more personal and to the point, "So this is how I feel." I wanted to deny it at first, but I see mine are this way also.

Obviously I have a great deal of maturing to do in the writing area, poems especially, even though they are my favorite type of writing to compose.

Also,
"And how does the madness all begin? The absence of the voice of God."
I was just curious if this was inspired by your belief in god. More straight forward, do you believe in god?
