MySpace or Facebook?
MySpace is too confusing, so Facebook. (Does anyone still remember CUCommunity, or whatever it was called??)
Joyce! German poetry turns me on!

@Komparatist Ach so, wenn man einige Symbolen auf dem Bwog verwendet, sind die als HTML interpretiert. Statt Zitatzeichen habe ich Karaten gebraucht. Eigentlich soll das vorherige Satz “zum Thema ‘Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen’ geschrieben” gelesen werden.
@Woodley Someone hook up Joyce with Michael Woodley IMMEDIATELY!
@hahaha CUCom lives! or not…
@varun haha that “White people love me.” line was absolutely fantastic.
@Germanist Das war ein Zitat aus Kant, oder?
@Komparatist Obwohl Kant als größer Vorvater ästhetischer Theorien gilt, ist doch das Zitat von Friedrich Schiller in seiner Reihe von Briefen zum Thema geschrieben.
@meh I actually like the Cure a lot more than the Get up Kids as a band, and I am most certainly not from New Jersey. However, “Close to me” is simply done better by the Get up Kids. Perhaps its’ becuase I heard the Get Up Kids’ cover first…
Also, who says “Death Cab for Cutie”…? I’m not a huge fan of their stuff (just checked my itunes and I haven’t listend to a “death cab for cutie” song in 4 months) but I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say “death cab for cutie” in about 5 years.
@V47 I would reveal my identity for Joyce for sure.
@Joyce fan A German aesthetic theorist once wrote, “Es ist ausdücklich bewiesen worden, daß die Schönheit kein Resultat weder für den Verstand noch den Willen gebe, daß sie sich in kein Geschäft weder des Denkens noch des Entschließens mische, daß sie zu beyden bloß das Vermögen ertheile, aber über den wirklichen Gebrauch dieses Vermögens durchaus nichts bestimme.”
I gotta agree with posters 2, 7, and 9, though.
@typo *ausdrücklich
@weeeeeeeee another hipster vs. hipster hater fight
@gelato fan how wise of joyce. clearly she is a catch.
@The Stars? Everyone covers “this charming man”. Its actually a necessary condition for being considered a early 2000s popgroup. If I had to rank I would say:
The Smiths
Braid
Stars
Death Cab
Also, i think we’ve all clearly agreed that The Get Up Kids’ version of “Close to Me” is superior to The Cure’s original version.
@excuse me? The Get Up Kids’ version is superior to the Cure’s? You have to be kidding me. Take that emo crap back to New Jersey/high school. You need a schooling in 70s/80s, effeminate, British rock pop.
@anyone who just refers to ‘death cab’ is obviously a modern day hipster and frankly a lost cause
@Anyone who Thinks taking two words off of a quite popular band’s name is a problem should calm down. Also, “modern day hipster”? Do you live here?
@ugh i would totally spring for joyce but i’m just not the type of guy who will admit to looking at personals, let alone contact someone through them.
@maybe it’s the blurry-eyed sleep deprivation, but when i read the top line it intially appeared to say “guy for superhero dick”. I was like wow, the gays are getting pretty specific. No offense, just thought i’d share my stupidity.
@borough market RHUBARB!
@Anonymous I don’t think he’s looking for a gay relationship.
ever heard of something called FRIENDSHIP?
@i don't know anybody who watched he man or the ambiguously gay duo would question what exactly it means
@Joyce could play with my rhubarb any time of day.
@weird is fighting crime like the new word for a gay relationship?
amd a dumb, egotistic douchebag? real specific- i worry how high maintenance she is
@Muchael Marion Hmmmm,
I was asked to make my BWOG personal with 20 minutes to spare. I decided to be looking for a “super hero sidekick” because I had 20 minutes and I assumed no one read the BWOG (i dont, i have better things to do with my time). Aslo, id like to ask you what kind of hopeless duchebag goes on BWOG and asks for a girlfriend(no offense to hopeless duchebags and people who go on BWOG to find relationships..)? I have social skills and id rather talk to a girl than meet her over the internet. And for everyones information im not gay. So yeah, eat my shit.
Over and out,
Michael Marion
@sweet the bait hooked him
