Hi[edit]

You look like you're having fun.--◀Puck^talk▶ 05:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You need this one ;-)[edit]

ubx-5

This user uses entirely too many userboxes.

Wikipedia is definitely an addiction.--◀Puck^talk▶ 23:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why?[edit]

I'm actually working on a few designs of my own. I'm just having a little trouble figuring out exactly how to build a template. I want to make some really weird or satirical ones. I just haven't figured out how yet. Also I've been busy working on some articles and recently I've started chasing down vandals so I don't really have the time to work on my boxes.--◀Puck^talk▶ 00:06, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, a couple that I'm worming on are here User:PuckSmith/Holding_area. I'm keeping them there for now becuase I'm trying to fix a problem on my user page that I think is in some of the code. I'm moving everything off of it to that holding area till I found out what is causing the problem

Re:[edit]

Nice of you to drop in ;). Yeah, I like several Green Day songs. I don't know their names, I just like some of their music (Holiday and BBD are superb!). Evanescence is my recent passion. Their music is unbelieveable. Amy Lee's voice from Heaven, John LeCompt's gifted guitar, the piano...it's just wonderful, wonderful music. But I hate the Backstreet Boys with a red hot passion, sorry. No hard feelings. -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 01:46, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My favorite Coldplay songs: Shiver, See You Soon, One I Love, Yellow (live), Moses, Politik, In My Place, The Scientist, Clocks, Daylight, A Rush of Blood to the Head, Amsterdam, Square One, Fix You, Speed of Sound, and Swallowed in the Sea

Favorite Evanescence songs: (ahhh! Too hard I love all of them!) My top three favorites are Bring Me to Life, Imaginary, and My Immortal (the single version with the whole band).

Favorite Green Day songs: (a bit easier) Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Time of Your Life, and Give Me Novocane.

I don't like any Backstreet Boys songs. They are WAY too poppy for me. I used to like some of their softer songs (Drowning for example) but those eventually grew too sappy for me and I lost interest. Now I won't touch 'em with a ten-foot pole. I listen to much heavier music that fits with my emotions (punk rock, hard rock, alternative stuff). I also like some of the old seventies bands and also, U2 is one of my favorite bands. Just see the list on my user page. -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 22:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Punk is not depressing, it's merely an expression of negative things in society. Goth is pretty depressing. Music is my anti-drug/suicide. I enjoy talented music that expresses my feelings and emotions. The Backstreet Boys, cooing to young women across the globe, with sappy, unrealistic and overenunciated songs doesn't appeal to me at all. But different strokes for different folks. Skilled emotional venting on wrongs done appeals to me. Heavy, deep, screaming quitar; powerful, intense lyrics and vocals with passion that isn't fake and comes from the heart...appeals to me. I also can't turn down damn fine music. The Backsteet Boys have always seemed fake to me. Fake passion, no heart, just pretty words. They lack the emotional power of the more hardcore bands. But perhaps I'm biased: I don't listen to very many love songs. Savage Garden's about it. They are a good example of what pop should be. Although, I will say that NSync is much worse than the Backstreet Boys. They're like Pepsi, a bad attempt at imitation. Just hearing their name makes me cringe. *shudder*shudder* ;). -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 04:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise. It moves us along, yeah..." Maroon 5 from She Will Be Loved. Punk shows the world that the good guys don't always live happily ever after. Punk isn't always depressing: "And like the angel you are, you laugh, creating a lightness in my chest. Your eyes they penetrate me (never cease to amaze me). That's when I got up and left." Rise Against from Like the Angel There was this whole album called "Punk Goes Acoustic" with a whole bunch of punk artists, many of them hardcore, singing ballads and it's really good stuff. I have no problem with love songs, some of them sappy even (like I said, I like a lot of Savage Garden's stuff). I gave the Backstreet Boys a chance and I even liked their first album oh so long ago. But with Millenium and Black and Blue, I officially lost all respect for them. "Show me the meaning of being lonely"...oh please, shoot me now. They had song on Black and Blue where they tried to be hip hop. They even paid some rap dude a whole bunch of money to rap for them. That was when I officially relegated to a desert island far far away populated with the likes of NStink, Maria Scary, Christina Ughulara, and Shitney Spears. So don't say I didn't give them a chance. Have you given punk a chance? Doesn't sound like it. Believe it or not, Green Day has it's origins in British punk (such as The Clash, the Sex Pistols, and others). Just think about that. Anyway, arguing about music is stupid. To each his(/her) own. You see the list of genre I don't like my user page. Take that for what it's worth. Music is a wonderful thing, even if everyone thinks each other's music sucks ;). -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 03:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"But, still, which song do you think they tried to do some hip hop?"

A hip hop version of The Call that was like a bonus track or something on Black and Blue. But hey, I don't like them for the reasons I've stated above. You like them for reasons you've given me. It is useless to try and change each other's opinions. So let's stop worrying about it :). -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 17:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good...thief (my radioactive sign!) big ;). -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 13:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, notice the winky ;). I've noticed other copies of custom userboxes borrowed from its creator. They usually cite the source like this: Borrowed from E. Brown or something. But you don't have to. -- §Hurricane ERIC § archive -- my dropsonde 02:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! You know, I never really was into that whole Japanese cartoon thing, it just never appealed to me that much. I never have much cared for things like Dragon-BallZ, Anime, Manga and the like. -- §Hurricane ERIC§ archive 06:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I fixed it[edit]

Sort of. I'm slowly moving stuff back. I've been kind of busy trying to stop an edit war here and here. It's has been a mess.

What's up with you?--◀Puck^talk▶ 04:36, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Grouping user boxes[edit]

Take a look at this: Wikipedia:Userbox#Grouping_userboxes. It looks pretty straight forward. If you need any help let me know. If that isn't what you meant give me a link to someone's page that looks like what you want and we'll see if we can figure it out. --◀Puck^talk▶ 20:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's up[edit]

Since you asked, I'm comparing four different version of the Sepher Yetzirah (‏ספר יצירה) here, here, here and here, to try and come to some sort of conclusion about differing attributions of astrological planets and signs to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet that are shown here.

Aren't you sorry you asked? :-) --◀Puck^talk▶ 21:27, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not easy to explain. Wikipedia's Sepher Yetzirah article is a little confusing. Basically it is a very old (at least nearly 2000 years) book of Jewish mysticism. The title means Book of Creation or Book of Formation. It purports to explain how the world was brought into existence by the magickal properties of the Hebrew alphabet, or at least the sounds that that alphabet symbolizes. There is an old tradition that says if one can actually master the use of those letters one can use them to perform miraculous acts. I am a student of the occult. The Sepher Yetzirah is the basis for some schools of Tarot interpretation and is the basis for some rituals practiced by members of magickal lodges such at the Golden Dawn and the O.T.O. I am hoping to join the O.T.O. soon. I have applied for initiation and I'm waiting for a response from the Grand Lodge. If everything goes as I hope I will have my Minerval degree in the next few months. I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with the Sepher Yetzirah, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about it because it is an important source of knowledge for the spiritual path I have chosen.--◀Puck^talk▶ 22:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
