Awww, I thought it was pretty. It kind of looks like something I wore once so uh.... :uhoh: :embarrased: She just presented Anthony Hopkins with some life achievement award thing. I always thought those awards were so depressing. Sort of like "Holy shit, you're old and could die soon! Let's give you an honor before you kick it and we all look bad!" If I ever got one, man, I'd be embaressed :lol: EDIT: Oh, and for all you west coasters, she came on around 10ish (or 9:50, since it was a long dedication thing).

Holy shit! What have I been missing! I've been ignoring this thread because I fucking HATE "Who's the best" threads (AKA: Let's have a bitchfight and see how quickly it can be reduced to mounds of self important posts). But man, was I missing some good drama. No, really, the Golden Globes have been boring and this entertains me! :dozey: What's the point of these threads? No one cares about what anyone else says! Like, if I said "I think U2 is the best band in the world. The end." I'll just get a bunch of replys telling me how wrong I am. But don't you realise, the key word in that sentence isn't "U2", isn't "think" it's "I". Me. I think that. Therefore: The end. Coldplay, Oasis and Radiohead are not, in my opinion, any of the best bands. Why compare three different bands who have come from different places, have different styles, different personalities, blah blah blah blah blah. I think it was sort of insulting when whoever said that a certain type of person goes for Radiohead, or U2, here in America. Um. That was just rude. And I did not like that. It made me feel insulted, because I'm a fan of both bands and I don't think I'm fitting into any stereotype. Or maybe I am. Just for my own sake, what types of people are U2 fans to you (whoever made that comment)? Sorry I'm so stuck on this, but yeaaaah. There are so many great artists and great bands out there. The Arcade Fire is, in my opinion, the best new band in a LONG time. Has anyone mentioned them? The Rolling Stones were pretty huge this past year. It's all relative, people. It's aaaall relative. I would never insult someone's musical tastes, personally. It's just not classy. Musical taste is personal, it reflects back on the person. It'd be so easy for me to say "Yeah, well, Oasis is terrible and I don't hear shit about them so they must suck!" (which I don't think, by the way). Then someone could just hit me with "Yeah well, U2 sucks the big balls so neener neener to you :smug: *feels self important*" lmfao but whatever. I'm just shit ass bored and needed to ramble about something. Oh look, Gwyn's presenting on the Golden Globes! Yay for Anthony Hopkins, now there's an actor. Damn, his wife's friggin' YOUNG though. Huh. Right, well, that's my cue to shut the hell up.

Awwwwwwwwww, you don't have to! And isn't this like your own thread! So there you go! :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :lol:

:stunned:

Hahahaha, will they have a vault, too? "And this is Capone's secret vault, but we don't know what's in it! Oooooooh! Maybe we can get a huge news network to do a show on it, eh, eh? Isn't it cute?" I can see it now...

The press doesn't understand how sensitive message boards are to this gossip! :lol:

We should make a petition, but something tells me that might not go over well... :/ :lol: Down with the gangsters, bring back the fruit!!!!

Rick, you are an inspiration to all us lesser posting mortals! Ye Gods, man!

WHO has 100 posts per day?!?! Holy shite. :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: That'd be so funny.... Well I mean, for about 2.5 milliseconds. Then I'd cry and scream "WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!" I really think they'll go with Bruce. That'd make much more sense! And that's just... normal. Bah. I don't know, it's not my decision and maybe there is a very personal reason that they have for the name 'Capone'... But I can't see it. :huh:

Well he just looks SO different, I didn't recognize him at first :stunned: :lol: It's kinda cute. His hair seems much more curly now, though, doesn't it? :huh:

No, apparently Chris and Apple are in LA, or so she said. And no, she didn't say that herself in the interview, but Ryan Seacrest said it after her interview. I mean, maybe it's a rumor still,until I hear it out of her or Chris' own mouths I'll be skeptical. But wtf... :huh: :cry: I hate that name.......

oh my god his HAIR :lol: :lol: :lol: awwwwwwwww young Chris :lol:

clocks-politik, thank you. You seriously just took all the words out of my mouth. *agrees completely* Rolling Stone is just... ugh, sometimes. A lot of their articles are on the verge of tabloids, and they hardly ever bother to check facts (of course, many of their writers DO, and they do have some great interviews, etc, but ugh, the bad always stands out). :dozey:

........................They're seriously considering Capone for the name........... I guess that wasn't a dumb rumor..................................... :stunned:

Ooooooh! I'm sitting here watching the Golden Globe's Red Carpet show on E! (channel 63 for me, don't know if this show is overseas) and they just showed Gwyn!!! Sooooo beautiful, as usual. And quite pregnant looking from the quick one second look I got. So if you're in the states, or if you know you get E!, then put it on and they'll probably be interviewing her soon! EDIT: She's on now and whoa. She is SO pregnant. And beautiful.

Hey, welcome to the board!

Thanks, Marisa! Even though I've listened to it so many times, it's always nice to hear it again. :thumbsup:

You're welcome! :) He really, really was. It's still hard for me to believe that he was actually assassinated. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why those who live by peace must die by violence. It just seems unfair, and unjust.

MLK was one of the best people to ever grace this planet. There will never be another like him. He stood for everything a human being should stand for. Nonviolence. Love. Peace. Unity. Justice. Respect. He was incredibly, and a genius orator. Everyone needs to study him, I believe, regardless of what country you come from. Needless to say, he's one of my heros. Hope this helps you out, maiu! :) : Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family's long tenure as pastors of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father has served from then until the present, and from 1960 until his death Martin Luther acted as co-pastor. Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had been graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded the B.D. in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955 In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family. In 1954, Martin Luther King accepted the pastorale of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then, early in December, 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader of the first rank. In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience. and inspiring his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, "l Have a Dream", he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated. From: http://nobelprize.org/peace/laureates/1964/king-bio.html Just an incredible, incredible man. I can't say enough about him.

I COULD FEEEEEEEEEEEEEL IT GO DOWN! YOU LEFT THE SWEETEST TASTE IN MY MOUTH!!!!!!!!

Interesting thought.... I don't know even what my culture IS, though. I'm American, and sometimes I feel like I have absolutely no distinctive culture. Like....... Other than the bad stuff, there's nothing special about us. Is there? Or at least I don't feel that way... Oh. Hotdogs. And baseball. And..... uh. I dunno what else. But I feel like in America the only culture I have is that if someone slaps you once, you bomb the shit outta their ass! :/ Well, maybe I feel like I have to defend myself more on here, because it's so easy to point out bad things about my country. Sooooo easy. I end up being kind of defensive, in return. :huh:

Why does Liam Gallagher hate EVERYONE? That should be the question! Answer: Because it's hella funny. :lol: :heart:

Well I certianly can't wait for March to come, since I'll inherit my uncle's Jeep Cherokee. It's old. And kind of messed up (I have to ducktape the gas cover thing shut...???). But hell, at this point I'm takin' what I can get! Look at that sexy thing :wink3: lmfao it's not really ME. And it's not a cute car, or whatever... But maybe I'll paint it pink! That'd be hysterical. No, I'm kidding. And I don't think I'll be driving around the Grand Canyon anytime soon... :lol:

11:54 AM here in Rhode Island!
