Good news everyone...Springsteen's new CD outsold Adelle's 21/

Do you mean that Bruce's album outsold Adele's this past week, or that it sold more copies in it's debut week than 21 did back when it came out? Either way, good for Bruce!

haha, yeah, technically he outsold Adele, but according to what i read, he only outsold her by a thousand records, and her record has been out for 24 weeks now.

from entertainmentweekly.com:

The Boss scored his tenth number one debut on the Billboard 200 this week with his latest album Wrecking Ball, selling an impressive 196,000 copies.
In doing so, Springsteen matched Elvis’ record of ten number ones, making them the only two male solo rock artists to ever achieve the feat. (Jay-Z, meanwhile, has had twelve No. 1 debuts, including collaboration albums.)
Chart queen Adele just barely missed the top spot for a 24th week. Her album 21 had to settle for a second place finish, selling 195,000 and blazing past the 8 million mark in total sales. 21 is the first album to sell 8 million copies since Usher’s Confessions passed that plateau in January 2005.

The depressing sig is still there.

Why?

Thanks for clearing that up, Steph! I was too lazy to do the research on my own. I like Adele, the few songs I know of hers are really good, but I will always root for Bruce to take the #1 spot!

Who knows? I asked him a question that his new sig line made me think of, and he didn't even respond. I just don't see what the big deal is about being an outsider. I always thought that was a good thing myself!

EDIT: I forgot! I wasn't supposed to ask Jimmy questions. Great, now I will receive a threat of banishment again!

Well that's not good. Didn't you just get over being sick a couple of weeks ago? I hope you feel better!

Your newest signature line got me thinking. Do you relate to this part of Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis?


I never felt right and never fit in
Walking in my own skin

If so, then I hope you realize that you aren't alone. A LOT of people don't fit in...ever. In my opinion, that's a good thing. I'd much rather stand out than fit in any day.

Never felt right ,never fit in. Pretty much make sense for me. I don;t mind being an outsider...it just gets lonely, and miserable. humans are not a solitary Creature, we need people around us.

Very true, we aren't supposed to be hermits, but I don't see why being an outsider or not fitting in with a certain clique means you have to be lonely. I have never been like anyone else really, I was always kind of weird and thought differently than everyone I knew, I even had different beliefs and interests than a lot of my friends growing up, but I still got along with people and always had someone to hang out with. I wasn't the most popular kid at times, but I always used being unique to my advantage. I have always liked to stand apart from everyone else. Why don't you? I hope this doesn't sound confrontational or anything, I don't mean it that way, I'm just curious.

that is the thing... I stand alone from everyone...I am completely alone all the time.

Dude from what you've said about your friends, I think more highly of you that you're the black sheep. I'd want to be an outsider in that group.

And I still have no answer. Why does it make you feel better having that as your sig?

But that's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of. Why are you alone all the time? Being different is not really the answer I don't think, at least not the only answer. You confuse me Jimmy. I have always been different from the people around me - a little more eccentric, a little louder, more intense, different tastes, different opinions, different beliefs, and I could go on about this forever, but that doesn't keep me away from people or them from me.

One thing that I think could really help you would be to stop thinking of being different as a bad thing. It's not! If everybody was the same, then we would have a Stepford Wives or Children of the Corn situation on our hands. Variety is a good thing, and being really unique should work to your advantage. You have something to offer that no one else does, because they are not you. Hasn't anyone told you that before? Being Jimmy is only a negative thing if you make it that way.

Since I know you are a religious person, I hope you realize that God made you a certain way for a reason. You don't have to know what the reason is, but you should live your life to its highest potential. There is a lot more out there for you than being so sad and lonely. I am certain of this.

He wont answer the question, he'll either log off/ side step the question completely, or answer very vaguely.

either way so the answer is not given. And or nothing has to change

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! JIMMY, ARE YOU READING THIS? YOU NEED TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY AND COMPLETELY WHEN ASKED. THAT IS ALL.

Oh, what a surprise he chose the log off route....

Balances me out actually. So I don't appear arrogant.

How in the world would we ever think you are arrogant?! All you do is put yourself down!

I never got an ounce of arrogance from anything you said.

ARROGANCE, BITCHES.

I've had people the moment I start believing in myself...say I was too arrogant for my own good.

I cannot stress enough that you should stop caring about people around you.

Two things: 1)Who cares what they think? 2)Why would they think that? And I want you to really think about that, because there are very few people out there who I thought of as arrogant right off the bat. Ususally it would take a little while (more than a minute or two at least!) to know that a person is arrogant. And who goes around saying that to people they have just met?

EDIT: Oops, sorry, Jimmy, I misread your post. I thought these were people who you had just met that were calling you arrogant. I just don't see why someone would say that to you if you start to believe in yourself. Everyone should believe in themselves!
