    I agree. I am still a n00b on the forum and I already agree.

    You're hardly a n00b. You've been here a while now.
  4. I wanted to share this with the fellow U2 faithful, and the General Chat Topic seemed the best place. I opened up a recent essay I wrote for school with Bono's "dream out loud" quote....I think my teacher liked it!

    For those interested. It was an essay about the end of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It might not make sense because I wrote it at 2 in the morning but I hope you enjoy. Here is where I used Bono

    Ever the inspirer extraordinaire, Bono once advised a crowd of fellow Dubliners to “…dream of the world [they would] like to live in…[to] dream out loud….” Such afflatus stimulates passion, and often accomplishment; however, when we fail at this we become dismayed by what could have been, and pine for the opportunities of yore. Is it man’s destiny to fixate upon what he could have hardly failed to grasp? F. Scott Fitzgerald argues yes, concluding The Great Gatsby with a passage that condemns failed men to nostalgic—yet noble—yearning through aureate language, vivid imagery and a well-chosen mix of concrete and abstract diction.

    That was the most excruciating moment of my entire life.

    My friend confessed to being the mooner. In all likelihood hes either going to jail or bootcamp.


    What's a mooner? Is that showing off your arse in public? Sounds like fun.
