It's great fun to work with you, and I'm so happy with the way our poem worked out! |
I just discovered Ryan Tedder's demo version of OneRepublic's 2009 track All The Right Moves last night, and I'm Ryan's vulnerability here is exquisite... He reveals what gets hidden in the polished metaphors of the final version. I'm something special, maybe something nice But I don't have it figured like they do You see Iāve got my worries And I've got my vice There's nothin' 'bout my world that they're used to... I push and pull away But I cannot seem to break Someone that'll love like you... |
Do any of you have old inactive phones without data plans that you continue to use for writing/music etc? I generally keep them offline, but many times when I connect them to WiFi I find unwanted apps begin installing themselves to the devices! The LG Journey I'm using right now, I just threw out two uninvited games and a third one announced itself via my antivirus as I'm typing: "Block Blast is Safe to Use!" |
Jellyfish 12 years on WDC š - On my phone, thereās a search bar at the top of the screen when you click on the settings app. I just search āautomatic downloadsā and it brings up the option to turn it off. I do have an iPhone though, so it may be slightly different on an android. |
Allan Charles - OK i think I have just found something similar so lets see if it works! (I have a Samsung currently) |
The only inactive phone I have is this piece of... electronics. It's a G-something. (That's "Gee, look!! The phone started working again. Now, we can call... nope. Nope. It's out again.") I like your idea of using an old cellphone for writing, music, etc. The only thing wrong with the idea is, as you meentioned, the need to connect to wi-fi occasionally. I've considered your problem of unwanted downloads. Could you connect to a wi-fi network that's not in turn connected to internet or wherever the rogue downloads are coming from? Or perhaps connect via USB? I honestly know very little about cellphones, so I'm not sure my little ideas will help any, but well, I tried. Good luck with it all! |
Beware of jessica053 whoās going around soliciting commissions. I have no reason to hire anyone to make me cover art. |
I've added a new entry to my book, "Music Notes" : "Challenge Day 7" We got the same heartbeat We're living for the same dream We got the same bloodstream Where did we all go wrong? - Imagine Dragons, "Love" |
I've sent the WdC Active Participant badge to LightinMind as part of "Earn the Badge - Closed " Thank you to everyone for making this a super fun week! |
I've added a new entry to my book, "Music Notes" : "Challenge Day 6" Got no reasons, got no shame Got no family I can blame Just don't let me disappear I'ma tell you everythingā¦ - OneRepublic, "Secrets" |
I've added a new entry to my book, "Music Notes" : "Challenge Day 4 (Art in His Soul?)" Admit it, you saw this coming when that prompt image dropped I couldn't resist |
Interesting read. I tend to separate the art from the artist, so for me, this does seem to be parasocial, but you also realise you only 'know' the singer through his words, which makes you better than many. The Trump analogy lost me, though. Still, you have expressed yourself well and laid out why you feel the way you do. |
