But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

God writes a lot of comedy, the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.

[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=374852.msg5260143#msg5260143 date=1262786204]Your geographical location doesn't matter at all, believe me, There are writers in China and Russia and India and South Africa and yes, Nigeria, with US and UK agents. Agents rep people overseas all the time. Just be sure your book is good and it'll find an agent for you. Are you trying your hand at literary competitions and getting published in good literary journals? Agents pay attention to stuff like that. Keep learning and din't rush your manuscript out if it's not ready.[/quote]She's right, scribesed. First, make sure you are good, then go agent-hunting. It's not gonna be easy - i've been there, so i know. My work wasn't that good (i guess i can admit that now ), so i decided to do it self-publishing. Bad idea. I'm too engrossed with my 9-5 now to do much literature, but tomorrow never ends, eh.

Anyways, just follow your dream. Read hard, write hard, work hard, and never give up.

Hi all

vescucci:
Kay's rant should win an award. Hilarious stuff.

Ok, i don't want to "form" ingrate or kill-joy - bless your heart and soul, V, but really - f.u.ck the award. I don't want one. The thought of that blasted contraption still has me seeing red.

One good thing tho - i am now totally and officially UNREACHABLE! Hahaha! , my boss kept trying my number this morning, silly shlob prolly kept getting the number u're trying is not available at the moment, please trying again next year. . ." In the end he called the security guy and asked him to come find me. Serves him right, dam.ne.d slowpoke is always putting sand in my garri.

Hope it aint "congo" you're waiting for , V - the thing dey get expiry date these days o!

sino, don't toss into a well; break 'em, smash 'em, pounderize 'em - see, like i did my own. nobody'll ever bother you again

Seun, stop changing my curse words to bleeps!!!! https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0012.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0012.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0245.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0190.gif

Just signing the register

hey blaze, lording it over us already, ain'tcha?

And whadja know, MyneW even decided to pay us a visit!

N'ways, i just wanna talk about my phone - my ex-phone, actually.

"Ex", because it's now deceased. Yep, i killed it - darn, fu.cked-up, metallo-plastic contraption. it had it coming too.

For going on 3 weeks now, the dam.ned thing has been a source of annoyance, frustration, and down-right embarassment to me.

All thru xmas, na so my GF (the current one, n'ways ) just dey watch me as i dey fight to answer call on the ye-ye thing.

On how i try to browse, or even dare type SMS, na serious wahala.

Did i mention it is a - sorry, it was a 5200 nokia? well it was.

i admit i wasn't overly nice to the silly phone but those things are supposed to be built tough, right?

That's why i never got them Nseries and Eseries and Zseries and whatever series they have now -

those cry-babes never last longer than a month before one thing happens to them - usually they just fall on the ground, and kapiche!

So i got a strong 5200. How was i to know that they fall hardest who climb highest?

Mehn, you need to see me trying to press "Menu" on this banza machine - the buttons ABSOLUTELY refused to respond.

The biggest nightmare occurs when i try to type an SMS: i can type but i can't delete; i can scroll down but i can't scroll up; i can add recipients but i can't remove; and

the worst frustration of all, i can edit but I CAN'T bleeping SEND THE FUC.KING MSG!!!   https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0245.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0214.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0222.gif

Now tell me, what good is an SMS if i can't frigging send it, huh?!

The last straw was yesterday when i got an SMS from mumsie - and the naughty as.s-wipe of a contraption refused to open it!!!

I pressed and pressed and pressed and yet, the bitc.h-oriented gizmolacullum refused to respond!! https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0190.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0235.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0233.gif

So. . .

So. . .

So. . .  i reared back as far as i could and DASHED THE bleeping PHONE AGAINST THE WALL!!! https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif

Yup, dam.n you, phone!!! Go to hell (or where ever it is bad phones go to) and burn to ashes!!

I kicked the darn thing and clawed at it and generally reduced it to smithereens. Goodbye fu.cked up 5200, good riddance!!https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif




I'll go and buy a blackberry curve tomorrow - even if i have to borrow dough!!https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gifhttps://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif https://www.smileys.me.uk/smileys/Mad/mad0223.gif

Seriously folks, is there something funny about these quotes i'm posting. . . . or is it just me?

Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it.

Eclipse (Twilight saga-3) - Stephenie Meyer.

Read the previous two already (Twilight and Full Moon). Don't get why they're best-sellers; reads more like something written by a teenager. Well shaa, i'm sure i'd have loved it 10years ago.

Plus the fact that Mdm. Meyer has really re-written a good number of vampire laws - like the reason vampires don't come out in daylight is not cos the sun will vaporize them. Nope. According Meyer, the REAL reason is cos (wait for it!). . . . in daylight vampires shine like diamonds - thus, to avoid exposing their real selves, they stay away from daylight. Mmmh.

ariblaze:
