i don't make hollow threats


i don't. when i say it, i probably will do it. so here's a ym conversation that might just change the world. but now that i'm thinking about it, this dialogue can put ellen degeneres to shame.

(note: i am "this." though i'm sure you'd figure it out almost immediately.)

marts_ac: bigay ka nga ng book(s) na you think helped change the world... bawal bible
BUZZ!!!
this: ano ba yan
this: the magna carta
this: yung book ni karl marx
marts_ac: ano pa?
this: catcher in the rye
this: hahahaha
marts_ac: hehehehe! world... hindi yung world lang natin
marts_ac: hehehe
this: sira international bestseller yun
marts_ac: onga
marts_ac: pero yung world shaking
marts_ac: hehehehe
marts_ac: alam ko lahat tayo dinaanan yung catcher nung bata tayo
marts_ac: hehehe
marts_ac: pero yung magnitude nun eh parang animal farm lang...
marts_ac: di ba?
marts_ac: gets mo?
marts_ac: di tulad ng da vinci na naquestion ang religion natin?
marts_ac: tama ba?
this: EXCUSE ME!!!
this: you deign tell me na mas may impact si dan brown kesa kay jd salinger
marts_ac: kit?
this: akala ko ba writer ka
this: anu ba basura si dan brown.
marts_ac: literary oo
marts_ac: mas ok si dan brown
this: fad lang yung da vinci
marts_ac: pero yung kailangan namin eh books na yung may malaking impact s amundo...
this: ano ba yung konteksto?
marts_ac: fad siya = it means malaki yung impact niya sa mundo?
this: no
marts_ac: unlike catcher, na iilan lang ang nakakaalam nito
marts_ac: i need books that helped changed the world...
this: well da vinci is not one of those.
marts_ac: where we can distinctly show the before and after
this: ang kulit walang nagbago sa mundo dahil sa davinci. wala.
marts_ac: not necessarily nagbago
marts_ac: more on made an impact
this: WALA nga
this: mas malaki pa ata impact ng mga sandman comics
this: or vampire chronicles ni anne rice
marts_ac: pano naging mas malaki? eh kaw na mismo ang nagsabi na fad lang angda vinci...
this: oo nga
this: pero series ang mga sinabi ko
this: sustained fad
marts_ac: the mere fact na inamin mo na fad ang da vinci...
marts_ac: sustained fad or whatever fad it is, it only means apektado ang mundo
this: hindi ko inamin na fad ang davinci. dineclare ko. its a known fact
marts_ac: and the reason na tinawag siyang fad kasi in a grander scale siya
this: no, the reason na tinawag syang fad, kasi uso sya
marts_ac: well the point na dineclare mo na its a known fact...
this: yeah
this: pero mali definition mo ng fad
marts_ac: ano ang tamang definition ng fad?
this: uso nga
this: it's in.
marts_ac: and sustained fad?
this: a fad doesnt change the world, martin
this: a sustained fad is a phrase i used to communicate a phenomenon but apparently it was lost on you
this: it's not an official term, it's 2 words that i combined to form a phrase
marts_ac: pero ilang beses ko nga sasabihin na not necessarily change the world. more on made an impact
marts_ac: hahahaha!!
this: message mo: marts_ac: bigay ka nga ng book(s) na you think helped change the world... bawal bible
marts_ac: miski na wala sa dictionary yun... ang sustained fad mo ay...
marts_ac: scroll down
this: sustained fad, its a fad that's been carried on for a long period of time
this: anu ba
this: it outlasted one book
this: the vampuire chronicles is a series, so're the sandman comics
this: these books sparked a renewed interest for their respective genre
marts_ac: kaya nga
this: i can CONSIDER them to have change the world because it shaped the imagination of a generation
marts_ac: kung uso man siya, at na-sustain siya must mean it made an impact one way or the other
this: that's my final answer
marts_ac: sparked a renewed interest = made an impact
marts_ac: oh carlo...
this: your twisting my words
this: bahala ka and good luck sa job order mo
marts_ac: i may have been stupid back in high school and college...
marts_ac: but now im less stupid
marts_ac: hehehehe
marts_ac: im not twisting it
marts_ac: im only stating the obvious
this: i can copy and paste this convo in my blog and people will laugh at you
marts_ac: go ahead
this: im having a smoke. bye
marts_ac: by all means
marts_ac: ur having smoke?


the best part about talking to intelligent people is that you always learn something fascinating. too bad that doesn't happen often enough.
