The "I'm Bored" Conversation Thread

[Illysia]

Probably. I just let them go as long as they go. But if that will help you then go for it. The idea is to give a stage for RP without requiring a lot of work so keep it simple and easy. I'm having ok success so far. I think i just need to be able to catch more bored people a time and then they'll give me a chance.

[Illysia]

Boo! Goodness the forum went dead...

[Rigwyn]

People must not be bored ?!

[Volki]

Get married already.

[Rigwyn]

Screw that.. tip cows, play games, enjoy life before it ends.

[LigH]

And most important: Lass die Sonne rein!

[Illysia]

Marriage is not a cure for boredom. Cows are messy and...

And most important: Lass die Sonne rein!

what is this?

The first chart-relevant german speaking hip-hop band "Die Fantastischen Vier" (The Fantastic Four) with a song about optimism: "Let the sun in(to your life)", think positive — even in times of trouble.

[Zalya]

I feel like I would like that a lot better had I known to speak German.

[Illysia]

Ah. Well, for such a song I either listen to Aly & Fila feat. Jwaydan - We Control The Sunlight or Alyssa Bonagura -  I Make My Own Sunshine.

Oh so funny! A spanish site presents an automatical translation which is quite obviously not at all correct.

And I really wonder how they were able to translate the nickname "Smudo" to "Marvin"?!

Well, I would like to explain it with their lyrics of another song:

Könntest du nicht seh'n, und meine Sprache wär' dir fremd,
dann wär' ich irgend so ein Rapper und mein Mund nur Instrument.

If you couldn't see anything and didn't understand my language,
I'd just be any rapper, and my mouth just be an instrument.

To be honest, I hardly understand most of the american rap. But I am certain that the sum of it doesn't have half of the significance of the songs written by these german guys.

@ Illysia:

It's not about the sun in the sky. It's about the sun in your heart.

Rapped principles of Buddhism, I believe?

What about such wise proverbs like
"Scooby snack jurassic plastic gas booby trap"
or "Never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I’m slippin."

Wait a second. I don't understand American rap either.

[Rigwyn]

I remember saying the same when rap first became popular in the 80's... I really couldn't stand it, and still can't. Its one of those few forms of music that really irritates me.

[Illysia]

Rap is not my favorite but certain kinds are ok. However, there are many forms. That's why it went around the world; there was a broad appeal since it started out being more thoughtful than the nonsense that most people think of as rap.

But the links I provided aren't about literal sunshine either.
