goodbye

This is very Tori Amos.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out

Dumb Ass Kid, April Fools Day was almost 2 weeks ago. DKTOS, so I can't rate it. Just don't burn out man. I know exactly what you mean though. Take some time off ( as I am ) and just let them come to you. There is much more to life than writing parodies ( although I personally love doing them even if they get slammed or few votes/comments ). Despite the fact that you have made quite a few innapropriate statements ( as have I ), you are doing pretty good actually on your song parodies. But if this is a final farewell, I will leave you with this: MANY of the great artists over the past 40 years put out a lot of very good music in a short time only to burn out and disappear. On the flip side of that musical coin, there are MANY great artists who are still here with us. PS- Even the greats have REALLY pissed off a lot of people. I will cite a few examples: 1. Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin, which basically doomed his career in the US. 2. Late 60's, John Lennon said The Beatles were ( something to the effect of ) " Bigger than Jesus ", which causes a HUGE backlash. 3. Not as great ( but a good artist anyway ) is when Sinead O'Connor tore up the picture of the Pope on SNL in '92 I think, which basically ruined her career ( they steamrolled her albums and she got booed off stage ). 4. The Dixie Chicks ( who I don't listen to ) went into a tirade on some awards show I believe about the President and got a pretty good backlash as well. There are MANY more examples of this, pissing people off, some recover and some don't. Won't try to convince you to stay if you want to leave. Just take some time off for now. Red Ant out.

I'm just not a papal pleaser.

Kid, you have talent. Sorry it's not working out for you here, but don't give up the writing.

Hey, this is sort of like my parody Right by Then.

Live and learn, DAK, don't give up - I'm sure we'll see you back here in a week or so

I think you do need time away to reflect on a few things. You are taking too many things way too seriously. Writing parodies should be about having fun, and giving and receiving reviews should not become a war zone. Take or leave this place, but do so because you want to, not because you felt you were forced to leave.

Kim's right. I can't even begin to say how many times people (encouraged mostly by Michael Pacholek, I think) have tried to force me to leave...but I'm pretty sure it's because I threaten them with my beauty and endless talent. ; )

Thank you to everyone for the fanatstic advice, it is very much appreciated. After a bit of contemplation and time to think things through more thoroughly, I have decided to continue writing parodies for Amiright. The reason I (almost) quit completely is because I had 3 deadlines to meet on Tuesday for sixth form, so all the hassel came at a time when I was already extremely wound up and agitated. I needed it at the time about as much as I needed an extra arse hole, so I decided to leave Amiright for a few days. Don't worry - the deadlines have all been sorted and I am now a completely stress free Dumb Ass Kid, so hopefully I should be able to take your advice into hand and not take everything too seriously. Once again, thank you all for your imput - to be honest I didn't think anyone would care if I left or not, but it seems I have more friends here than I first thought. A huge thank you to everybody and look out for a new parody on the 15/03/2005!!!

Rd Ant, do you live in a cave with an old gramaphone n some old lps how do not hear this modern music

Yes I live in a cave with a hand cranked grammaphone and severly scratched LPs. That's why they average age of my music is from about 1990. If I DKTOS then it means that I haven't heard it not that is is bad necessarily ( although any parody posted in the 2000s I probably will not KTOS by choice as music today is basically horrible ).<> Does that answer your question?

Haha.... 555 then

Since the bullsh*t you're going to leave. C ya.. *cry* *cry* LOL. I know you've already continue writing. Hehe.. This is months-ago parody, right? And I can see your newest parodies on new entry.

Yeah, this parodies about 5 weeks old or something. I've continued writing because I like this place so much. thanx Andrew!

Got shocked then. Glad you're staying.

No need for your kind concern, Belthar - I aint goin' nowhere
