Creativity and passion like a poet, but with the will and ability to fight for what one believes in. Not the exact definition, but that's how I interpreted it.

Fun ideals to mess around with. I say go for it but ffs drop the "warrior poet" label - makes you sound like a Braveheart fanboi

Won't get you laid, either, to the eternal mystification of those who call themselves such.

Lol - they're obviously trawling the wrong pussy-barrels. I know places where declaring myself Warrior Poet would get me more BJ's than covering my johnson in burger meat and walking nekkit through a 3rd world famine zone.

Of course I think the burger plus starving people option is slightly more palatable.

wasnt "warrior poet" Richter's custom title or tagline a while ago, though? maybe he could define it.

A mask is all you have - get over it. There is no Real Youtm There's just a bunch of organic slime twitching around, shitting, fucking and biting it's knuckles about the search for troof and justice and honesty and loads of other imaginary bullshit that the grand scheme of things couldn't give less of a flying fuck about if it had its wings and genitals forcibly removed.

Paint your mask however you want to and do your best to live up to whatever arbitrary collection of ideals you hold as your moral compass. Or don't - matters not a jot :lulz:
The mask covers the face, but doesn't make it go away. Beneath lies whatever is left from assault by barstool.

So what's the face? Just a collection of nerve impulses and musculature? Is there undeniably nothing underneath?

The face is simply a collection of extended metaphors that have been stretched to the point of being utterly useless.



Oh, wait, that might have been your post I was referring to, instead.

I love that I can't get away with that shit here.

I hate that my brain doesn't seem to want to leave the metaphor, or can't find another way of looking at this.

QuoteESPECIALLY not a "warrior poet".

We must have some very different opinions on that one. But it doesn't matter anyway. I've still got a lot to learn.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the Carlos Castenada bullshit.  That's another option, but it's even worse.

The last actual "warrior poet" was some British tard who was killed in WWI.  Everything since then has been utter crap.  Either warriors writing bad poetry, or poets erroneously calling themselves warriors.  Or people who are neither claiming to be both.

Even Kipling never claimed to be a warrior poet, even though most of his poems were about warriors.


Are you talking about the guy that always carried a sword and used it in combat too? i seem to remember him single handedly capturing about 50 enemies at once.
though i thought he was in WWII?
i could look this up ofcourse, but i really need to get some sleep now.

That's okay, I'm still stuck on the Curley idea, and people put up with it for some reason.

We wear layers upon layers of masks and even contemplate the inner masks with the outer ones, as well as the reverse.


If there is an essential self, good luck finding it.    :roll:



As for what got this discussion started, it isn't that weird to assume different roles without much overlap...
When I'm playing a song that's in major, just because I'm not using a minor scale at the moment doesn't mean I'm a "major scale kind of guy".

But if it makes you feel better, understand the (helpful) patterns that can be carried over from one situation to another.  You can translate concepts from one situation to another by understanding what is important about the concepts and where the situations diverge.

You can take a major riff and turn it into a minor riff, just by lowering the right notes by a half-step.
