lol, we could make a whole epic combo here, but yea. ricky was pretty ****ing involved in getting **** done. i mean, those smashfests at his house were pretty ****in awesome. you and me were pretty involved as well, bringing tvs, always showing up to fests and whatnot. the only reason i would say i was more so was because you didnt go over to dereks much

James I think there is still a chance that we can pull through, or at least maintain whatever we might have had at one point. I think that we should just hang out and play the game, it's useless to try to have a big competitive scene in this state anyways. If you just play against people that are about as good as you or better you will improve at the game, then if you really want to take the next step just move to Cali or EC or something once your at the top of the metagame here.

Personally I like hanging out with (most of) you guys just as much as actually smashing........that's why I play even though I get destroyed at melee every time. There isn't anything saying we have to only play smash when we get together anyways, it just is something to fall back on if we don't have any other ideas of what to do.

People talk as if back when Derek was still around competition was "thriving", but it just seems that way because back then it was apparently a lot more chill and more like hanging out while having a good time than living in a badly produced sitcom. It's not like back then you guys were having major tournaments or even biweeklies anyways.

I think it's time people stopped taking stuff so seriously and "Quitting", it shouldn't be something that you "quit", it isn't a club or something you are paying for. You can leave of course, but it shouldn't be so similar to ending your subscription to some club or something. If you want to go don't tell everyone you are leaving, just STOP COMING, and if you feel like coming back then do it, you don't have to worry about going against something you might have said when you were angry and leaving.

And by the way I'm aware some people already do what I was just talking about, no need to point yourself out.

As an afternote, Mike would be just as much of a cancer to that type of community as he is to this type, so what James said still applies.

And before you started showing up at ricky's/he started having stuff at his house, we had smash at Dimond high school. And I pretty much started the lunch smash there, with Ean maintaining it. Mad props to Ean, caleb, ricky, and tomochrisrandomsfromdimond because that **** was fun.
oh and vgc i guess

i feel like i should mention here that before james, it was mike who did kind of mobilize people to play again after brawl after a long time inactivity. i mean that summer, he did start things up again. i was somewhat involved too, but yea that was kind of his thing
and i plan on mobilizing things again in the summer. once finals are over and my head is clear from all the school crap.

Well, i agree with this, so QFT?

cept for the end, you dont know what cancer is.

@jason, Service had a smash club too, it was like me and adrian and occasionally caleb, and a few others.

Anyways, summers coming, while these issues are legitimate, they will work itself out due to the fact that ALL of us will have a **** load of free time, and people are just more active in the summer.

Yeah, I think smash here's just gonna be just fine. Not like it'd be a big deal if it actually ceased to exist here, however ridiculous it may sound. I mean, if smash were REAAAAAAALLY that important to me, I'd just set my sights on another state to continue my conquest in, hehe

@matt: smash was thriving back then because we had a **** load of people who were interested in getting better at the game. we had tournaments pretty frequently at a couple points in time too, not biweekly put somewhat frequently. as opposed to at the moment 6-7 "active" players, we had 15-20 throughout anchorage, most of whom went to rickies house. not to mention, everyone was A LOT better back then, except for me probably, i didnt get better till later

Also, take note that, everyone's goals differ, but all of us, none of us's TOP priority is getting better at this game. I'm not saying thats bad, in fact, its nice to see most everyone actually having real life goals. but as long as smash is within 2 people's interest here, the community is not gonna die. so lets move on already, next tournament, whose going?

I have nothing to say to you you non-ice climber repping "Alaskan".
A couple of us WA Smashers were joking about that a while back on the April GC Livestream. I said something about moving to Alaska, and one of them asked if everyone up there was an IC main, lol. You guys should all go to a WA tournament at least once. They're so much fun. Just ask Brad. :]

Mike..........there are like no buses that come out to my house. I would have to walk like 15 miles to get to work every day.

Do you even have your license yet? If so, is there any way you could use like one of your parent's car? Like work around their schedule or something, that's what I would've done if I was allowed to work during the school year...

When I say "get a car" I mean, "have my parents buy a third car that isn't actually mine"

And I stay weak purposefully Mike, I have no problems with exercise, and I actually enjoy running. Its harder than you would think to maintain weakness as a teenage boy, although the process itself is easier than the opposite I'm sure. I would explain why I do this but it would be pointless, since, you know, It's you we're talking about................

Also I'm pretty sure that 250 pound 6 foot 20 year old vs. 18 year old me isn't exactly a fair fight, so don't be surprised if I try to even the odds.

theres no such things as even odds, favorable or not, ur stil gettin ur *** kicked.

anyways, to my real reason of why im posting

In the Spring of 2006 a Kira E. Buckland was prosecuted and convicted of 3rd degree murder. Kira had assaulted another female student that attended West High with a bladed weapon. The student bled to death before the ambulance could arrive. She was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison. During that sentence, she attended pencil and paper courses at UAA. That's why she graduated so fast, and could only get a degree in Japanese. Also with the shame of killing a peer, she relocated to California to prevent any discrimination against her had she remained in Anchorage. According to a letter she wrote for an assignment in her sophomore year of high school, her original goal was to be an actress, however with her criminal record, that would not go over too well, instead she settled for becoming a voice actress, where no one can see her face and recognize her.

if you were wondering what the dirt i had on kira was, this was it, heres some links to prove it

So Mike, were you saying something about a tournament?

I need someone to proof read my essay, hope yall like

Expressionism in the works of Mapplethorpe


1. Stone and pretextual discourse

“Sexuality is meaningless,” says Baudrillard; however, according to Hubbard[1] , it is not so much sexuality that is meaningless, but rather the futility, and subsequent defining characteristic, of sexuality. Thus, if Lacanist obscurity holds, we have to choose between pretextual discourse and the capitalist paradigm of consensus.

If one examines expressionism, one is faced with a choice: either accept pretextual discourse or conclude that academe is capable of truth. A number of depatriarchialisms concerning the bridge between society and sexual identity exist. But the subject is contextualised into a expressionism that includes narrativity as a reality.

In the works of Spelling, a predominant concept is the concept of subsemioticist culture. The characteristic theme of the works of Spelling is a mythopoetical totality. Thus, many theories concerning cultural precapitalist theory may be found.

“Art is intrinsically used in the service of capitalism,” says Baudrillard; however, according to Buxton[2] , it is not so much art that is intrinsically used in the service of capitalism, but rather the collapse, and eventually the fatal flaw, of art. Hanfkopf[3] states that we have to choose between expressionism and semiotic construction. It could be said that Sontag uses the term ‘Foucaultist power relations’ to denote the role of the artist as reader.

The main theme of Abian’s[4] analysis of cultural precapitalist theory is the difference between society and class. Therefore, the subject is interpolated into a pretextual discourse that includes reality as a reality.

Sontag uses the term ’structural appropriation’ to denote not discourse, but postdiscourse. It could be said that the subject is contextualised into a cultural precapitalist theory that includes art as a paradox.

Several theories concerning the bridge between society and class exist. Thus, if pretextual discourse holds, we have to choose between expressionism and the subdialectic paradigm of discourse.

Derrida promotes the use of Marxist capitalism to challenge hierarchy. In a sense, the premise of expressionism implies that consciousness is impossible, given that narrativity is equal to consciousness.

Debord uses the term ‘cultural precapitalist theory’ to denote the role of the participant as observer. Therefore, Hubbard[5] states that we have to choose between expressionism and semanticist discourse.

2. Realities of economy

In the works of Stone, a predominant concept is the distinction between feminine and masculine. The primary theme of the works of Stone is not deconstructivism, but subdeconstructivism. Thus, cultural precapitalist theory holds that the media is capable of significance.

“Sexual identity is part of the paradigm of language,” says Marx; however, according to Bailey[6] , it is not so much sexual identity that is part of the paradigm of language, but rather the stasis, and thus the failure, of sexual identity. If postcapitalist semanticist theory holds, we have to choose between expressionism and the precapitalist paradigm of discourse. In a sense, the subject is interpolated into a cultural neocapitalist theory that includes sexuality as a reality.

The characteristic theme of Dahmus’s[7] critique of cultural precapitalist theory is the fatal flaw, and eventually the failure, of precultural class. Thus, Debord’s model of pretextual discourse implies that society, somewhat surprisingly, has intrinsic meaning.

The subject is contextualised into a cultural precapitalist theory that includes consciousness as a whole. It could be said that the premise of expressionism states that narrativity is capable of intent.

Baudrillard uses the term ‘textual postmodernist theory’ to denote the common ground between class and sexual identity. In a sense, Bailey[8] suggests that we have to choose between cultural precapitalist theory and semantic discourse.

The subject is interpolated into a pretextual discourse that includes truth as a reality. But Lacan uses the term ‘expressionism’ to denote the role of the artist as poet.
