Join me in my Year of Resilience!

Sort:  

The same term I use for a colorful spew!!

I actually spotted one of the spewnamis that hit you and it inspired me with the creation of this word, duderino! That makes you the kaleido-spiration for this then!

First with the big scoops - kaleidoscoops. My vocabulary is expanding in ways I never expected - much like the image ones sees when looking into a kaleida-thingy-mabob.

You do get lost in the words, don't you? I feel like once we get over our strict definition of grammar, we would open ourselves into new ways to explore the written word. Only then will we rekindle our thirst for adventure, and reclaim our old title of being plorers, because we'll be ex-ex-plorers.

Damn I love these types of images! Puts you in such trance pare 8-)

Btw excuse me for asking since I've been absent for a while, but what are these PortmanTuesdays things you're doing? Is it like a photo contest of some sort? Seems pretty cool!

PortmanTuesdays is just a silly thing that I used to do on Twitter back when I was an avid user of it. I brought it back for Zappl, but I haven't been able to use it with much success. Basically, it's just a portmanteau that I post like a dictionary entry every Tuesday haha! I actually didn't do the image, and just got it from the internet haha But yeah, it's quite hypnotic, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by, kapatid!

Pare, just got around to checking out those old tweets & I really love them, 100% brother! You have such an amazing way with words that you never fail to impress me! Keep on keeping on dude & let's kill it here on Steemit * * * fistbump * * *

Awesome! I'm glad you liked it, kapatid! I truly appreciate the compliment! Doubling down on that fistbump!

Wouldn't mind smoking a little something and then staring at that gif for a while lol

I feel like you could lose a couple of hours just looking at it! I lost 5 minutes when I was looking for a proper GIF to post!

This one is my new favourite, because it sounds hilarious with a rising inflection XD (I'm not even sure why it had a rising inflection in my head when I read it, but it sounded hilarious to me anyway XP)

Also the first definition kind of sounds like what happens when I'm thinking XD

goatsig

It does have a rising inflection, so good eye? Ear? Nose? Who knows! I guess the definition is somewhat all-encompassing. I'm glad that I posted it when you got back. Nice to have you back on here, mateychops!

Yay I'm good at random unexpected things sometimes XD

goatsig

We wouldn't be friends if you aren't!

Nah, we'd still be buds I'm sure haha!

Wow that is TRIPPY...I completely forgot the words you wrote before it I was too busy being...oh no, mind control, stop looking! lol ;)

K has few words? Huh, it kind of does doesn't it, I was thinking of the famous name game, and there are a surprising number of proper names starting with K...rambling now, back to staring at the pretttyyy colorrrsss

Yes, yes, yessss.... you're getting sleepy. Sleeeepppppyyyyyyyy. You're going to stand up, walk towards Howie and kiss him on his left ear. After which you shall whisper and ask him, "do you know de wei?" If he says yes, make a clicking sound and reply, "No, you do not know de wei." If he says no, hug him and tell him, "I will protect you my kween." When I snap my fingers, you shall awake from this trance and enact my command.

SNAP!!

kaleidoscopes ... one of my favorite things!

Truly a remarkable man-made wonder. I like how it combines art with math in a truly mesmerizing form :D

This is... yeah i'm...

Heck, i don't know. Gonna get drunk or something.

It really robs you of your thought, doesn't it? I, uh..

We scoop letters and words, ... whole sentences, even books daily and practically all our lives and gathered they shift into new patterns continuously that brings us new meanings and new understandings of the old, and the present, and sometimes even of the new.

True that! This is one of the things that I intended to scoop with my definition for this.

yes, there on the TED talks they say humans are a big colony of bacteria, but maybe humans are also big scoop of words.

Perhaps in dimensions beyond three, we are indeed but a mere collection of words.

You have hypnotized me with that gif.

I'd like to take credit for it, but unfortunately I can't. I will take credit for hypnotizing you though, since I chose it.

Take all the credit you want. I'm hypnotized, so I certainly won't oppose you.

You are getting sleepy. Sleeeeppppyyyy... when you awake, I command you to oppose me.

You deserve no credit! Hiya! I'm @cheetah! Rawr!

I take it back! Yow!

I... Such welcome and unwelcome news. 'Tis hard to reconcile.

Much like the world at large. It is easier to get lost in it.
