There's nothing the conservatives would like more than up close and personal pictures of Obama givin' the soul pole to a pretty blonde girl. And honestly... Me either.
Even more bizarre than Cameron Diaz... - Jewel?

This is from a school in Texas. Sadly, this seems to follow the way their former Governor would speak. I'm sure their are many, many bright people in Texas, but this does not look good for them...

...clicking your fingers thing for clapping like they do in poetry reading. It was a blast.
If anyone does this at one of my readings, I will kill them.
Try me....just try me.....

MJP, when you posted the poem by Jewel, all the negative responses in regards to her seemed to have stopped, I'm not familiar with Jewel except for her poppy tunes and videos; I'm not condemning or advocating 'pop' music, what is 'pop' music, Popular music? Well shit, if its popular, I'm out, I will not like something if a lot of people do, just to be something else; a hipster, or an anarchist, or a radical, a shadow of someone I admire; not what I feel. I will check out some of her poetry and lyrics and write back to this thread with my honest opinion, unless the Czechvar has complete control of my ability to recall....

Well pop music on its own has really BECOME its own genre. But Jewel... She's the kind of overproduced bubblegum bullshit that lacks any sort of real connection. Her music just lacks soul.
And her poetry? I read a lot of poetry back in high school, just piles and piles of books of the shelves of various bookstores, and even when I had some really bad tastes... it just reeks of self-indulgence and a complete lack of profound ideas (though she seems to think it was quite profound based on some of her poems).
Though apparently she got the message... she hasn't released anything since. So that's good.
That negative enough? :p
I've got more but a lot of it is based on how she lost weight and, subsequently, her tits. And that would be cruel. And unnecessary.
But I could go there. I'm running on very little sleep and am feeling a bit overworked, so... lemme know. ;p

Well that's because the poem was so awesome, dude. Her early work is really the most lyrical and transcendent part of her massive oeuvre.
I know that after reading it myself, I sat in the corner weeping and praying. And I know now, that Jesus will never answer my prayers, for he is in constant contact with Jewel. How can anyone top-
'and sunshine battlefields
ricochet around the dustbowl migraine of my walking feet
far away from this
yellow banana boat
far away from this spastic plastic fantastic
far away
far
away'
I go now, to burn my own wasted work.CRB:(

When asked, Kenneth Starr reported that it smelled like cherry blossoms, white-out and patchouli.

Wait a minute !
First, I thought mjp had successfully transmitted the entire translation, after falling asleep in a cave. But then his imaginary grandson was killed by the son-in-law of David in the land of milk and Tupelo honey before the cock crowed three times. And in came Jewell
I shall not speak of her
She is my queen of Jewell-ness....

I probably would have started laughing uncontrollably. That might be cruel, though.

You are right. The head touches the collar in one picture and not in the other.

Really ? You like its girly cutting (look at that horrible sleeves !) ? :p
This one has definitely much more class. And it fits so well to the guy who is wearing it :
I want the same !
I don't like the cut.
But what I like about it is, the picture is 'melting' into the shirt.
I always had a dislike for selfmade-shirts that had this square-frame around the pics that clearly yells at you: This was homemade by someone who doesn't care for details!
When I did shirts myself, back then, when this started to be possible and thus was a cool thing to do, I've NEVER used a square frame. Even if it meant to have a smaller pic, I prefered to cut the background and get something 'lifelier' (is that a word?).
