I've caught myself losing patience with this "Brain" character. Its hard NOT to blast the guy when his posts dont make a damn bit of sense. But I think I'm gonna delete some of my less-than-charitable comments about him. Whatever else is wrong in this guy's life, his obvious problems are considerable, if not insurmountable. Good luck to ya, "Brain"...youre gonna need it!

I also don't know where to start. it seems like as years roll by, life just keeps getting faster and faster. My excuses are very legit. My family needs food on the table. But is that really an excuse for being a "workaholic" and neglecting family much less God my creator? How much time do I spend with my kids? How much time to I spend praying? How much time do I spend at church? Or earning a living? My priorities often times seem out of wack. but are they?

It is not easy doing what we do. Which isn't doing what we do, but rather deciding what not to do. That may sound wack, but hey there are only so many hours in a day if you catch my drift. I earn my keep, and I bet you do to. But something other people depend on us and we must carry the weight of others (as they have carried me in the past)

So here is my delemma. After a long week, either I can take my 14 year old son to the hockey game tomorrow night and drink beer and eat pizza and hotdogs and sleep it off the next day, or else I can go to bed early on Saturday night and wake up Sunday all bright and chirpy and go to church. After all, I'm no spring rooster! Which is more important in the big scheme of things?

It is definitely a racial slur.

No he is not gone for good. He is just probably gone out-of-town to a "Cradle of Filth " concert or something... :freaky:

I have a solution for you.......take a nap before the hockey game then take your son to see it, but go home immediately after and go to bed so you can get up the next morning to go to church. ;)

Old Soul 03-16-2007 12:21 AM

Is this the same Brainsmasher who goes around posting a link on how to successfully shop lift from Target without fear of prosecution, and who sells Target merchandise from his website? The same BS who was suspected in not 1 but TWO mysterious deaths of girlfriends? Or was that EXgirlfriends?

Ofcourse, I could be wrong. Brainsmasher is a very common screen name. I see it on so many forums. So don't quote me.

You could always google it, I suppose.

LOL, two things come to mind. One is the whole concept of a "nap" which I haven't had since the last time I had the flu some many years ago! Second is getting my son (not to mention my unruley daughter) up on Sunday morning, even if I am in the spirit. I'm sure they do not share my enthusiam. Let's face it, I lost ground many years ago.

My father is having surgery on Tues and now would be a really good time for me to attend church. Not so sure about fighting with the fam to gain some ground. I have another idea. I might go alone after giving everyone else the choice to go with me or not. (without a fight) That sounds whimpy compared to how my Dad dealt with us on Sunday morning. LOL, OMG even I have fallen victim to some political correctness over the years. The "leather strap" has definitely fallen out of style!

But I know what you mean. Don't mean to argue. Thanks Isabella for your thoughts..... :)

I dont believe in coincidences. This just gets juicier and juicier, dont it?

Old Soul 03-16-2007 12:42 AM

Collecting my thoughts on some of his responses. That whole cut/paste thing, about natives and christianity.

I don't have as much spare time as he does. I have to actualy work for a living, shop lifting at Target just seems to fall a tad bit short of my expectations. So could one of you kind souls please do some research for me? Copy/paste it, seems to make things easier for him, why not do the same?

What I want to know...wasn't Columbus actualy a criminal that the queen wanted to get rid of? Weren't all those people on the Mayflower CRIMINALS, that the queen wanted to get rid of? Cuz I'm just wondering, you know, if that were the case, then they weren't TRUE Christians. They were just wearing a mask.

He almost had me for a second because I am native american. But then again, I know all about cloaks and how a wolf can cloak himself as a sheep. Those weren't realy Christians who committed those crimes against nations of peoples. Just greedy people who were seriously misled.

Odd thing is, I'm not particularly religious. I'm just very spiritual. I allow all of my nieghbors to worship as they choose, even those weird ones. I just take offense at some lost soul attempting to tear down other's belief systems in some lame attempt to make himself seem all important.

I understand that you could be wrong. but just for the sake of discussion, if one were to google "it" up, what would be some keywords that one might type in to do so? Off the record, mind you... ;)

I would suppose, that any search I could lead you to, could possibly lead you to some OTHER brainsmasher personality, which we should not confuse with THIS brainsmash personality. I wouldn't want to get sued over this. I make a lot more money than he does and I would so hate having to support his sitting on his ass. Know what I mean?

Besides. I'm SURE it's just a coincidence.

Texasbelle 03-16-2007 08:32 AM

You want to find info on Brainsmashr? Go to Google and type in Brainsmashr Natchitoches. I did that and got about 4 pages of stuff on him. Apparently he loves to troll message boards and also posts ads of himself in singles pages. I really am starting to feel a little bit, just a little, sorry for this guy.

Isaac-Saxxon 03-16-2007 08:34 AM

That the brain is missing nor is coincidence that we have some new members on the board some with names and some with numbers. Do a little reading and you may too find the common thread in the tone of the post. If brain is guilty it is for the police to decide and the courts not a forum like this one. Do not get me wrong I am no fan of his and I think this zebra is trying to change his colors. In a world gone mad the birth pangs are touching and the fruit is ripe time for the harvest !

Are you inferring that new members equate a conspiracy? Care to elaborate on this?

No conspiracy just a bunch of new avatars on the board. Some of the posts have a familiar ring to them :rolleyes: Time will tell and welcome aboard Old Soul we all have very old souls. Have you posted on any other local boards ? If so which ones ?
Isaac

Old Soul 03-16-2007 06:32 PM

No, I don't post elsewhere. I do read a few other news-type forums. I don't post because too often what I read is petty quarreling and I just don't have much free time to waste on such. I only joined so I could post THIS time because I see that Brainsmasher name in so many places and it's always the same thing.

In fact, it occurs to me that all this attention given to him is why he does it so much.

Isabella 03-16-2007 06:55 PM

LOL. Old Soul he thrives on the attention.

AnimeSpirit 03-16-2007 07:06 PM

Indeed, that appears to be the case. With that, the worst thing you could ever do to him is place him on your ignore list.

Isaac-Saxxon 03-16-2007 08:15 PM

Hey Old Soul glad you are posting

This BSr is a troll but he has gone MIA and who knows where he might be and if or when he might show back up. I do not see the brain just going away in a day but truth is stranger than fiction. So feel free to post and almost all of the people on this board no matter their view are nice folks. I will be reading your post. :clap: :clap:
Isaac

Texasbelle 03-16-2007 09:08 PM

I wonder if his attorney happened upon those posts!!!! Maybe that is why he is MIA.

Anyway, no matter. How was everybody's day?

Isabella 03-17-2007 12:11 AM

I had a great day! Texasbelle I am glad you joined us!

Isaac-Saxxon 03-17-2007 06:39 AM

It is of no matter Texasbelle. I had a great day at work and even better when I got home to the family. Now somebody has a birthday in the near future and it is not a small birthday it is one of the big ones :D Texasbelle you always have your eyes wide open and you do not miss a thing.

I see many new avatars on the board all in one day. Might you know some of these nice folks ? They sure seem like nice people. Isabella just how many local forums have you posted on ? I see you have many friends and a few that well not so friendly. :nono:
Isaac

BrainSmashR 03-20-2007 12:58 PM

I cannot imagine having a life sooooo unbelievably boring that spending the weekend working on my new website sparks a conspiracy theory about where I've been and what I've "been up to".

But then again....look who I'm talking too.

AnimeSpirit 03-20-2007 04:52 PM

I've seen your site. Are you using PHP-Nuke? That's what it kinda looks like in some places. I've used Joomla and Xoom. I never liked them much though.

By the way, Brain (or may I call you Brant), you do know that your domain registration data is public record and can be looked up with any WHOIS utility, right? Just keep that in mind if you plan to advertise your site anywhere. ;)

Currently, this one and Skyzzz are my main ones. I check in at BayouTalk sometimes. The people are nice there, but not much going on. This is the one I post the most on. I don't have much time to spend on forums. Years ago we had a local forum called cp-tel. It was my first experience. BS blew my mind with his posts, so I kept coming online to read. Then when it closed we moved to the shreveporttimes forum which is dead now. I met some nice people who remain friends to this day. Is this your first forum?

Just for the record, I could care less where you spent your time. If you never come back is fine with me. I will not visit your site. Everytime I visited your site my computer got messed up. There was never much going on there anyway. Hard to believe your mother and aunts were my babysitters when I was a young girl. Nice family, what happened to you?

"Brant" is the name of the guy I pay for my domain....nice try though.:clap:

BrainSmashR.com is running FutureNuke (one of the many flavors), but the link I posted above is to a Wordpress site I'm working on. After several years with various Nuke flavors....I've just become bored with them

Isabella, I think you and I have gotten off on the wrong foot. I feel I owe you an apology, my dear. I've always been such an insufferable drag queen, insanely jealous of real women like yourself. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Lets get together for lunch some day and enjoy a bit of quality "girl time".

XOXOXOXO,
Brain

We all know Isabella is a smart girl and would never have lunch with a person like Braindead! Thank goodness.
