There's always things to talk about. It's actually nice to have a thread for random chatting.

 The number of people actively posting here is much smaller than it used to be but, we are easily keeping this thread afloat. 

 

So what's keeping you guys posting? I won before, but I intend to actually keep my title as victor and...maybe get some actual physical prize outta this, you know?

 Absolutely! I've always kinda viewed this thread as just a random chat place. It's rather nice to have somewhere to talk about almost anything.

I just post here because of my crippling fear of being left out

The prize is pride and satisfaction.

 For me, I enjoy just talking to the 4 or 5 people who are active here. We have great discussions and all that. This place has pretty much become a discussion hall.

 Tonight, I'm upset and slightly disappointed... We have a membership on a website called Taxi. It's basically where big corporations (and some small ones) put out wanted-music ads. For example, an ad might read "Motorcycle brand looking for soft southern rock song with a freedom theme for commercial. $20,000". Then people send in their songs and the company picks which one is best and pays the writer of the song to use it in their commercial.

 So, two days ago, an ad popped up with a company looking for a funk song with the word "fresh" in the chorus. The deadline for entrees was tonight at midnight. My dad said, "Let's go for it!". We had nothing to work with other than a few ideas and riffs we'd played around with before. No lyrics and no arrangements. We ended up writing the basic idea out and made a rough recording that night and just brainstormed the rest of the night and all yesterday. Today at about noon, we went into the studio and recorded all day. It's now about 10:30 and it's not finished. I can't stay up any later because of work tomorrow. It's pretty close to being finished but... We just couldn't do it. We worked so hard and now we are going to miss the deadline. I thought we could do it and I feel like we worked for basically nothing. I mean, yeah, we did write a pretty sick tune (if I do say so myself) so, it's not a total loss. Maybe there will be another ad soon that's looking for the same thing. Still... I really thought we had a shot. In a way, I'm pretty surprised and happy we managed to write and nearly finish recording a song in 2 days. Just wish there was more time..

 So yeah, that's my Sunday..

You'll always have friends, Dino-bro. But being left out of things always happens every so often...can't be the end of the world.

If it comes gift rapped, I'm down with that.

Ah, sorry to hear that, but hey, that's experience either way. At least you see the bright side of it.

 

So you submitting tunes for ads now? That's pretty cool, man.

[PatchworkPsycho]

At least if it were the end of the world I wouldn't miss out on anything else

[Tenkan]

That's the spirit.

 It is experience. I probably shouldn't be so upset about it... I love what I do and if I meet a deadline or not, I'm still enjoying myself.

 Yeah, we're finally getting confident enough in our recording abilities to start submitting. It's very exciting because there's plenty of money to be made with these ads and I like to think we have the talent. That's not to say the site isn't already overflowing with artists. Many of which are very talented.. Just gotta keep at it and get better. I know one day we'll get picked.

Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to

 

Other times you have to do something that makes you want to curl up into a ball and hopefully disappear or explode

 

Today is both of these things

...okay.

 

*climbs back onto his tank and seats himself comfortable where he can man the gun. The large, rusty war machine slowly rotates its gun nozzle to aim at Pemby*

 

Yeah? Remember now, old friend?

Hey everyone look!
Its the crowned champion of LPW!
 

[SymphonicFire]

...right.

[PatchworkPsycho]

I don't see a crown

[Rosewind]

This thread is kind of like the Hunger Games. There's only one winner, and even then it's not a real victory.

 

Things I've done today-

 

1. Breakfasted.

2. Showered.

3. Given myself my shot. Blooooood!

4. Probably will watch anime/finishing up S1 of SU.

5. Hope that my bid on some husky leggings on ebay doesn't get sniped.

6. ???

[Penumbra]

It's one of those metaphysical technicality crowns.

Yes, hahaha, that's me! LPW, grand championo! Moi beuno!

Well, then, let's get to work on that, then!

Huh, till when, till when...

Are you from the deep?  I've never met a sea pony before.

Life needs an undo button, and a history function where you can remove certain things without undoing the stuff after

[SymphonicFire]

[Tenkan]

...Dino-bro, I'm sorry, but you can't undo a comet hitting the world.

 

We're your friends. If you bring back all dinos, I won't be here to drive Ol' Rusty. 

 

*slaps the top of the tank*

[Rosewind]

I mean...I guess if it reaches unanimous vote, we could potentially crown Tenkan as Champion of LPW. 

 

All in favor?

[Penumbra]

Can I vote twice?

[SymphonicFire]

But...the thread is still alive...

[Penumbra]

Well the game ended once with Tenkan as the victor.
This is like game two.
