I understand where you're coming from, s_b. In front of the band, I'm a cussing SOB... but here, I rarely lose my temper. I am like you my friend...
At school I am a straight A student, an angel. Here, I'm as laid back as I could be. But I wouldn't call it a mask, just my true colors. I'm more at ease here than anywhere else.
I've always pretended to be someone else, but don't have to be here. Ennyjay Elessar, my Ranger counterpart, is nowhere close to my thoughts. I'm just Shadowskill.

You know, in real life, I'm not Mandos...

bangin

I know Mandos. You're definitely not Mandos from The Silmarillion. lookaround

Who am I?

I think that's the point of the thread.

I am what I am
(Thread answered)

... and you are the sum of all that you'll be

Will someone even give a serious more-than-one-line answer?


Thank you for the reply Shadowskill, I appreciate it.

If we're nothing more than our thoughts and passions, and if our thoughts and passons are nothing more than movements of our souls, then we are nothing more than those who move us...

Our every thought stems from the thoughts of others, everything we say is a repetition of what was said before... if it is only after that we understand what has come before, then we understand nothing.

We are what others think we are...

In addition:

While I like nothing more than to wax philosophical; in the the simplest form, each and everyone of us is like a tree...

the trunk being who we are, the roots our histories and past influences, the branches and leaves are what we strive to become based on our roots...

you can think outside the box, or be different from anyone else and think it new and original and unique... but, then so has everyone else

It was never stupid, shadow, i rather like it... but the minds of many are too far simple to comprehend complexity...

far too many are weaned on instand media: tv, music, movies, readers digest....

to go beyond that, is to invite responses with meaning that has no meaning, the layers too many and involved... hidden away, as Sauron or the Innkeeper onced put it, beneath verbal diarrhea...

... and it would be a shame to close it

shock

That was great. And how very true...but I don't suppose that was your own original thought? j/k




no

no... it actually isn't my original thought...

Smodden, I'm on MSN now, my PC froze.

Someone asked me to spare this thread, and I calmed down now, so I guess this wouldn't be closed or anything.

I dont exist in real life, i am a computer program.

Ok, enought for the foolish posts (yes I actually said that)
And by the way, s_b, this thread ain't stupid.
Firstly, the part that you share as sb is a part of SA, you cannot deny it.
Sb is the part that you show to us, but it is still a part of you.
Like me, I act and say "stupid" stuff sometimes on KMC and that's the part I want to share. And it's a part of me. But in real life, I'm studying in health sciences and want to become a doctor. I'm particuliary good in philosophy (no, it doesn't show on KMC) and history, plus all the sciences. That's me, but ME contains also the funny guy, which I let out here more than in real life. In reality, I'm probably the most serious guy I know . Does that solve your thoughts?

postmodernism anyone...we all wear masks, we are all mercenary thesbians hired to play roles, we do not exist...it's a very existential, post modern thought bubble. but to be quite honest, i am the exact same person on kmc as i am in real life. muse is molly. molly is muse. my emotions shine through here, if i was on more, you all would be able to tell when i'm stressed out. i can be philisophical but at the same time i really don't want to come across as stuffy, so i don't act that way unless needed. i do that in real life and i do it here. i suggest you all read some postmodern literature after this thread, i can't exactly say that it changed my life, existance before essence etc. but it will redifine already existing thoughts.

woah, LOL..this thread is going deep.

Just the way I like it.

Thanks for posting guys.

no prob!

has anyone ever read Kafka, more specifically 'the metamorphosis'? it in respects relates to what we are talking about. i'm studying it in my ap literature class. catcher in the rye also toys with the idea of masks. modernism and postmodernism focus alot on that. does anyone know what i am talking about?
