Just submitted Justin Townes Earle's "Ghost of Virginia," after I'd already added "Ain't Glad I'm Leaving," "Black Eyed Suzy," and "Yuma" earlier by the same, who by the way is brilliant, how are there only 8 comments (4 of them mine!) on the 22 songs of his that had already been listed when i added these? And yet at the time of writing this "Let the Bodies hit the Floor" has 86 comments, "Girlfriend" has 413, "Complicated" has 869, "Sk8r Boi" has 1224, how does ALL of Justin's brilliant work COMBINED only have 8?!?!?!

11/20 posts (55%) received at least a 4/5 (80%) rating 13/20 posts (65%) received at least a 3.5/5 (70%) rating My average rating of all posts was 3.55/5 (71%) Now that I got my rating system under control, I will limit updates to every 5 posts Again, this does not count direct replies to somebody else's post

8/17 of my posts, or 47%, have a ranking (from me) of at least 4/5, or 80%, cumulative relevance and sophistication/intelligence 10/17, or 59%, have a rating of at least 3.5/5, or 70% My average rating of my posts is about 3.4/5, or about 68% Again, I am only considering posts that aren't strictly replies to somebody else

66.25%

Now that i've accounted for halves and zeroes, i have determined that, on average, i am 65% proud of my comments about songs, and again am proud of about half (7/16: last time i forgot to ignore a reply to somebody else's comment)

After reading the forum thread started by OmegaArts (who I would love to see comments from, it seems they would be more intelligent than 99% of the posts I've seen, but he/she set his/her profile to only be viewed by friends), I made a list of songs I've posted on and rated my comments from 1-5 on intelligence and revelance, and have determined that I am only proud of (4-5 stars) half of what I've said so far (8/17), with my total pride in my work being about 2/3 (68%). Am reworking the list and ratings to include zeroes and halfs, will update later.

If you've never heard the song "James," listen once or twice without reading my post to try to figure it out for yourself, then read my post. If you already know the song and think you know the meaning, go straight to my post, maybe you've heard the same story before. If you saw the post first because you were looking at my "interaction" page's list of my posts, LISTEN TO THE SONG IT'S HILARIOUS!!!

Thanks to egotrippin's advice on the forums (which looks so completely obvious now) i am officially a fan of R.E.M. and 3 Doors Down. Now about the "interests" bar...

All of my journal entries so far have had to do with the movie "Holes." Weird Useless trivia: Not the only movie Shia LeBeauf (Stanley "Caveman" Yelnats IV) and Jon Voight (Mr. Sir) have been in together (Transformers: Sam Witwicky + SoD John Keller)

I forgot something a few minutes ago: YAY my first song/band submitted!
