I was under the impression and still am that the word AMOLED was pronounced like Ammo-Led. I started working at a Radioshack and while I was trying to explain the Galaxy phone to someone a female co worker came up and started laughing and said "haha it's not AMO-LED it's Amoled" Sounding like ammolled. I'm pretty sure I'm correct, but I didn't say anything to her yet. I wanted a confirmation before I said anything :P Pretty random topic, but she sort of semi embarrassed me in front of a potential sale.

Firstly, who cares??

Secondly, I Googled it and it came up as an acronym. You say it A,M(paused)O,L,E,D.

Not ammo-led or ammolled. If you want to make it a word, pick what you think sounds cooler, and let that girl know she's a loser for trying to one-up you on such a petty topic.

Is anyone else seeing the dysfunction here? I want to know why she is sitting on your lap and kissing you when she has a boyfriend. Also, if what her friend says is true, that she really doesn't like him ... WHY is she with him?

This sounds like middle-school !@#$ to me. People that young and immature don't take intimacy and commitment that seriously. If you guys are out of high school ... RUN ... never look back because there is something wrong with her. She'll do to you exactly what she is doing to him.

If you are of middle school/high school age ... just tell her you think she ought to be with you.

The heartbreak will come later :lol:

I'd catch up on reading, traveling, hiking, learning Spanish, organizing, playing video games, and working out.

sweet, the hair looks really cool! Any recent pics of it?!

RobbySpry

Thanks buddy. It sure ain't nothing like the hair on the actual person though. ;)

Considering there are several people here who seem interested in getting a tattoo i could tell you a bit about it.

It doesn't hurt as much as you think though it does take longer than you think, so you still have to sit there and endure pain for several hours. The needles give that kind of pain that hurts when they go in and out but doesn't leave any pain once they actually stop filling you up with paint. It doesn't make you numb or sore or anything. The moment they stop, the pain is gone. If they however come across a nerve when making it you better be prepared for several minutes of some of the most intense stinging you'll ever feel.

Even though it is a life-time modification of your body, after mine was done and i first saw it in the mirror at the tattoo-place it actually felt like it always had been there and felt completely natural, probably since i had wanted to do it for long. I didn't even feel any joy or surprise at all. It just felt like something that always was a part of me had returned. lol

The body treats tattoos as burn-injuries. So the area needs to stay very clean and have barely any pressurized contact with anything. You musn't press down anything on it and slide it over the skin or half your skin can come loose with it. When you shower you musn't point the shower-head so that the ray of water goes directly against the tattoo, rather than showering above the tattoo and letting the water rinse down over it. The area will also get extremely dry. I'm talking getting up in the morning and seeing this in the mirror kind of drought:

So you have to use some healing and moisurizing cream several times per day and every time it feels dry, including before going to bed and getting up in the morning.

After a few days there will be a new skin-layer created over the tattoo that in my language is called the equal of "silver-skin". It is a very thin layer of skin that makes the tattoo look kind of gray. This is the layer of skin that you need to take good care of for a couple of weeks to finalize the treatment. The silver-skin will keep the moisture of the skin much better so that you don't need to moisturize it so often anymore.

For me i couldn't stop moisturizing a few times per week until after about eight months. Since then it doesn't need any treatment at all. Though i must warn you people with bad or fat skin that you'll probably get acne on your tattoo pretty often. This acne can actually press up the color so much that you can see the regular skin color underneath in the centre, but it'll look fine again once it goes down. The color is actually very shallow, even though most tattoos look like they have colored you all the way into your bone.

It's definitely worth the pain, but make sure you pick a pattern that you really can see yourself wearing for life because it's quite an expensive method of changing your appearence. Don't be afraid to tell the tattooist to change something while you still are there if you want him/her to. You'll really regret it if you don't get it perfectly right.

This is how the contrast goes down once the silver-skin develops.

Not sure ... if serious ...

Full. Metal. Jacket.

One of my top 10.

It'll take a lot more persuading than that to make me like Justin Bieber's music.

SuprmanLuvHandl

listening to mainstream music doesn't mean you need to like Justin Bieber's music:|

Not necessarily, but "mainstream" dredges up an images of a vast amount of music. Like the Nile or Amazon rivers compared to their tributaries. This isn't the case with mainstream music, so far as I have found. There is SO MUCH music, so many people making it on a local or regional scale, or those who choose to make "artsy" or non-conformist music that just doesn't sell (Porcupine Tree and LCD Soundsystem come to mind, to name just a couple of the more successful ones). There is so much good music that never really sees the light of day (radio/tv rotation, big sales) and it completely eclipses the narrow amount of music that the average person hears.

I love reading Rolling Stone, they feature many upcoming artists and good albums for sale, but when I see the Billboard Chart page, my heart hurts and I get crestfallen. There are so few ACTUAL artists in that lineup. It IS derivative, it IS short, formulaic, crap! There is real talent in some of those people, but they choose to make the old 4/4 time, 3 minute, verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus stuff everyone has already heard a billion times over.

So, yes, it kind of does mean you need to like Bieber, because he is like, 20% of mainstream music right now. I'm glad to say I don't think I have ever even heard one of his songs, except for a 10 second clip.

Why nope?kokolo1234

I don't have a clue. I listened to the first. The second didn't play. I have played MANY 8-bit shooters, and while some songs stick out like a sore thumb (Super Mario, FFIII/IV, Sonic, Zelda) I just can't tell.

BTW, it is lousy music.

I drink a little bit of everything. Imports and micros (the darker the better). I loves me some red wine, and esp. ports. I like straight up liquors, mainly sticking to Burbon-Whiskey, though I have dabbled in shots of ALL sorts. I love the cocktail as well.

Right now I am drinking Smirnoff (sp), limeade and sprite with crushed ice. If it doesn't have a name I'll call it a Foggy Night.
