I was just talking to Wolfslice the other day how I've been in one tornado my life. Guess what just hit my town and neighboorhood? I am thankful as FUCK right now that me, my family, and our things are fine. Houses in my neighboorhood are FUCKED up right now. This is so strange. I'm at a loss for words. For anything right now. |

Dude, I'll check stuff out in the morning when its daylight. Its only nearly 5 AM here. I haven't been outside yet, as the weather is still nasty plus its too damn early and dark. Tomorrow, once I find out whats going on, I'll take some pictures, yeah. I don't mind. And like, I'm not seeking attention here or anything but seriously SHIT JUST WENT DOWN. And I feel the natural need to inform you all, my family at XLTRONIC. From the news, I know that houses on my street are pretty badly fucked up right now. Why ours wasn't touched, I'll never know. I did see shingles missing and around our yard when I looked our the window. Its such an awkward feeling to know that I am fine, but people a few hundred feet from me are not. And I can't do much about it right now. :[ I'm going to try and get out tomorrow and lend a hand. |

yeah, sorry to come off as a dick and everything. it's good to hear you and your close ones are safe. |

Its cool man. I just don't know what to think right now. My only logical reaction is to talk about it, even here online, with people I like to think I regularly associate with in some way or another. You know how it is. We share news. Ughh, just such an array of mixed emotions right now. |
||||||||
|

I'm not all sure on how everyone else perceives it, but this is how I am: Knowing that people care, whoever they are, is something very personally important to me. I don't mean harm by it. |
||||||||
|

|

it's cool. but you have to know that you're competing with this weekends episode of porn appreciation. testosterone doesn't improve empathy pretty well. |

does it make me bad person for feeling completely apathetic about swift jam's situation? i hate to hear of people's suffering and hope that no-one got hurt but the minute i turn off the computer this ill cease to be part of my reality. there's just too much shit on my care plate to worry about some middle class americans who received damage to their homes and may have received a few scratches themselves. |

Hell, dude. I don't give a shit about you. Or more so, I don't feel the need to. I try and treat everyone as equals. But like, when people need attention, and the way I feel, is yes, people DO need attention, believe it or not, no matter what kind it may be, I do MY best to make sure what is needed is accomplished, and without any negativity involved. I don't get why people can't do the same for me. Yeah, I'm on the FUCKING internet right now. I have nice things. I was lucky enough to barely avoid a disaster a few hours ago. You may think I'm always about myself and everything. And sure, I have every right to be. My personal benefit is number one priority on my list in life at all times. This doesn't mean I don't care about other things though. I may not show it, or you just may not recognize it, but if I feel that it is needed I will be just as caring about anything as I would expect someone to be to me if I were in their situation. I don't think less of you or anything. I don't know you. You don't really know me. But perhaps, if it occurs to you that you might like to know, we can talk like we are now and get a better understanding of each other. Yeah? |

People tend to think that I'm stupid and not very smart about things. I make mistakes sometimes. We all do. Its not a big deal, ultimately. Its only a big deal if you choose to make it one. But 99% of the time, I'm positive I know what I'm talking about. I don't mind that people try and correct me if they feel differently about it. No one wants to be wrong, right? Criticism, if handled the right way, can be a good thing, and should be a good thing. I love being given a helping hand, if I feel that I need it. I'm sure most people feel this way. I dunno, man. I almost feel like I'm starting to babble now. I just would like people to understand me a little better than they think they already do. And I don't mind taking the time to get to understand others, in turn. I think it all works out nicely. |

And now the sun is coming out just a little bit. 6:00 AM. I'm staying indoors until my family re-awakens, then I'm going to eat some breakfast, put on some clean clothes, then head out to do what I feel is needed of me, in response to the current happenings around me. I really hope you guys read this and make some sense of it. |

This thread is very odd. But I hope you can go out and do something useful, mr. swift_jams :-) |

Dude, I hope everything is ok, you can get things cleaned up and no one is hurt. If there is anything a fellow statie can do let me know. You just have to be pretty thick skinned to get on here, especially as an american. There is so much anti-american sentiment in the world right now that on an international board like this you can just expect a level of auto-pissiness directed toward us by default. |

what? those cotton wool clouds just turned nasty?? it looked so peaceful. |

I am flying out to wherever it is you live to lend a hand sweeping up leaves, erecting flags, hoisting grandma out of the tree she landed in and shooting looters as required. |

My thoughts and prayers are with the people around you...not only do they have to contend with the aftermath of a tornado but they have to put up with your melodramatic ass. You should count the number of fucking "I"'s in your posts, you fucking self centered cock. I mean eating breakfast and putting on clean clothes is far more important than going out and assisting people who have been left homeless. Hopefully the next one will get you. |

Wouldn't be surprised if this whole topic is the product of something similar. |

tornados can be fun ecnad, just reach out and touch'em |
||||||||

I have been within 2 miles of a tornado. It was fun to watch. We only really get them off the coast and it is extremely rare if they make land. They are never very powerful either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah they are beutiful to watch but when they reach lives and/or destroy, then its kinda gotta sux |
||||||||
|
|

|

Doesn't stop some people from eating breakfast and putting on clean clothes though, which is good, I guess. |
||||||||

as long as your internet is fine |

Wow, shit. Glad you and your family are safe... I think it's good that you're out there lending a hand. Was the damage pretty severe? |
||||||||

- hey, thats tornado alley right where you live ! what do you do with that ? - im staying, rebuilding my house each year, mister. yep, i do. each year. |
||||||||

latest news: swift_james, a nose of the year! has just been nominated for a title of grand_american_idol, but he's busy with saving kittens and people and sausages so he cant be here with us. swift, our noses are with yours. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

I'm sure some of us are just not sure what this bit has to do with hurricanes or volcanoes or saving women and little children. It's nothing to do with anti-American sentiment. ----------------------------------------------------------- -- People tend to think that I'm stupid and not very smart about things.

Even tho we have established that i'm a complete dick, i'm sorry to hear that bro! |

It was just the way Fly worded his post, and that it does seem like a trend that the US users get shit more quickly than others sometimes. Maybe it wasn't applicable here after all. |

|

Are your shrooms ok? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Or maybe you had too much of 'm? |

i don't have a problem with americans. it's funny how swift jams acts the samaritan when if he really wanted to help he would have been out there pulling bodies from the wreckages before they had died by morning. i'm still curious as to the full extent of the damage. any news swift jams? please, don't take what i say too seriously. we all have license to rant and be a little silly on xltronic. |

and you know what, you deserve it! bastards! |

glad to hear you're OK. where did this take place at? we've been getting rocked in michigan fairly well over the past few days. detroit has been pretty clean but the suburbs got hit hard / power losses, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if there was a tornado over there and everything is as messed up as you say it is then how is your internet connection still working, huh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea we probably do deserve it. friggin mcdonalds and GW givin us a bad rap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh I agree. We all talk nonsense from time to time. Butttttt, no one died, I'm just saying it's strange to be in the epicenter of a tornado, you know? Not everyday that it happens. It wasn't a HUGE MASSIVE one or anything, but it was enough to level a few houses. |
