The COS- The Church of Shinoda

[andrea]

Lol. Oh Usiel, you cracked me up. Glad to see that your still here, lol.

[SakuraUchiha]

White roses huh? Cool!! Don't feel bad Usiel, I would die after seeeing that many pics of chaz. *wink, hug*

[LPShinodaFM]

lol Shinoda's so cute he shouldn't be real. D: But then that's bad, right?

 

And, with my deepest regret, here you go, Usiel.

 

 

Three white roses for my dear dying girl.

[Usiel]

Lol. Oh Usiel, you cracked me up. Glad to see that your still here, lol.

 

Of course I'm still here... Where will I go that I feel better than here??? Nowhere. But if you're glad that I'm still here, so, dont try to kill me, and you will be sure that I will be here constantely, as a rock (hard rock ) so... eihnnn?? well, wait a second :stop: , let me think (I mean, wander with my thoughts):

 

If you kill me, you will have to buy roses every other minute (I'm sorry for your wallet) but if you dont, that's mean that we wont have more Mike's pic.... hmmm, interesting, quite interesting. Well, In that case I can only say one thing:

 

KILL ME, KILL ME, KILL ME, KILL ME....!!!! KILLL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(The instruction manual of what you have to say after this are already under here:)

Oh, dear... how pretty!!! You know. I love you too..Ooooohhh, my mouth is watering when I see these roses (and I dont want imagine it if I think that was Mike who gave them to me!!!! So, in that case, even my knickers are evaporated :o ) But, anyway, thanks love... although now I need some money for new knickers... you know girls? that's terrible, even my underwear is sensitive with these kind of things!!

[Ravynlee]

Oh my good god, I think I just wet myself... :eek: :'(

Gorgeous pics ladies.

Damn. Think I died and went to... lets just call it heaven

[LPShinodaFM]

You're not going anywhere. THat's here. xD

[Usiel]

You're not going anywhere. THat's here. xD

 

 

well said, dear!!! BTW, I think this place, our COS is much better than the heaven, of course it is! You know, heaven is a bit boring; everyday singing psalms and praying, but the hell, from the other hand is too warm... COS has characteristics from both places: it's as funny as the hell (party at every time :party:) but it's as soft, "quiet" and sweet as heaven and the angels who take care of this place are like candy floss

 

and well, talking about pics. I didnt post any pic since long time ago, but you: it isnt easy to find any pic about Mike that it isnt already posted...:'( and, well, btw, I dont want to replace Andrea's "job" when I know nobody can do it better than her, but (and forgive me for that, my lovely photographer) I've found something which maybe... MAYBE, you know MAYBE you like it...

 

I hope, I hope, I really hope, I really, really, really HOPE you think is a nice pic... if not, well, you make a favour, 'cos if you dont like the pic means that you dont like the man you can see in it!!!

(Just kidding, I know you like him and I'm sure he is sooo glad of having such lovely angels.. you know, not all guys can have angels!! I dedicate this pic for you, girls. You really deserve it!!

 

[andrea]

Glad you all like the picture! Well I've got more to share. HQ!

[Usiel]

Burff... Honestly, I dont know what this man does. Yesterday, I thought he couldnt be more handsome, but... obviously, I was wrong... OF COURSE I WAS WRONG... I only can say "thank you very much God 'cos you let me have a good sight, and thaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnkkkkk yyyyyooooouuuuuuu vvvvvveeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy mmmmmmmmmuuuuuuuuccccccccchhhhh ANDREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 'cos with your intervention you kill me, but you know I'm still glad (btw, do you rememeber the roses??? Nah, I've changed my mind. I dont want them... well, if you want to buy them for me, suit yourself. You will have a reserved position wherever I go each time you kill me (you know, a VIP pass). After all, they must be fed up of my continuous coming and goings, and you know it, when someone is bored of someone, he does everything for making happy the other side and just change the boring situation he has to live. So, 'cos I guess everybody is boring of me wherever death handle me, you can choose.

 

 

From the other hand, I dont know in your countries, but here, in Spain, we usually have a summer song; you know, a song that is played in all discos along the summer and everybody knows it and dances it. Well, I guess here will be the song someone played in Eurovision festival (uaggg:-! ) but I've found the perfect summer song for us, for our little COS... the song's name?? Oh, Easy: M-M-M-Mike

[andrea]

No problem Usiel, lol. I'm glad you liked the pictures, but unfortunately I can't buy you any flowers for the overwhelming effect these pictures have caused on your life, haha. All I can do is provide more Mike pictures, lol. Speaking of more picture I just got my hand on some Berlin picture. I'll upload them tomorrow because right now it's too late where I'm at. .

[Ravynlee]

Heavenly?

 

 

Two words -

HELL YEAH! :o

 

Thanks as always Rashell. For the visual feast and the associated heart palpitations. Usiel, you seem to speak for us all with your enthusiasm. Haha. Awesome. Thanks again ladies.

(And I know we're not supposed to repost pics in response but I thought that one was worth it. Forgive me. Now I will try and behave).

[Usiel]

enthusiasm, dear Ravynlee? enthusiasm? How cant I be enthusiasm with THIS PIC I HAVE RIGHT UNDER MY VERY NOSE??? At least, you're luckier than me, darling, 'cos you can say "HELL YEAH!" but me? poor of me!!! BUAHHH!:'( I'm a disaster. I dont have even a sad word for describing This... this... this... .....:shoot:

 

 

You know, dear. I dont know if you've already listened to talk about sophists (in Ancient Greece, they were a group of teachers of philosophy and rhetoric). They were an experts about rhetoric, and they used some methods for improving their "ARS BENE DICENDI" (the good art of having a nice chat). Well, scientists have found some of these techniques, but I think they have forgotten the most important one: try to write a good, perfect speech with a pic of Mike in front of you. Impossible, sure. Even, secret agent Ethan Hunt would have serious problems for getting that "Mission Impossible". Rambo wouldnt say "I dont feel my legs". He would say "I dont feel my heart". Hermione Granger wouldnt need to use her magic wand for being thunderstruck. The frog would change his mind and just before to become a prince, so the frog would say to the fairy godmother: "if you want to turn me into a handsome prince, dont do it. I prefer being Mike Shinoda."

Aladdin had a quarrel with the genie 'cos the magical fiery spirit didnt have enough power for transforming him in a new arabian Mike Shinoda (that's the real version; but Disney changed it) and the same happens with Ariel; she didnt want to have legs; what she wanted was to be a new Mike's angel, but you know, you have to be very special if you want to join to COS.

 

So, it's obviuos that all those pics are magic. Magic for all us, even for me who, although, I'm the LPF's Shakespeare (in a female version) I still cant find the right word for describing what I feel when I'm drugged these pic's charm

[Ravynlee]

My dear Usiel, sometimes less is more. Is in the right context. I could (and probably would) rant for pages about Mike's awesomeness the same way I could (and probably should) about Rob, but really, with yourself and Rashell contributing some pretty intense vibes here I sort of feel... inadequate? I don't know, I can't match you that's for sure, but rest assured what you say I back 100%. Well mostly... I can't help it. I love Rob. I love Mike. Can't put it any better than that (well I could, but this is a general all-ages forum, so I haveto behave hahaha :o You get the idea)

 

As for the analogies you painted, all I can say is, in the most sincerest and humbling of ways, you really do have a way with words :thumbsup:

:eek: inadequate?? Oh, please, dont say such kind of thing. What I write here or the way I transmite these "pretty intense vibes" you have said, is just my personal way of saying what I feel. I confess you that, although you think this is nice, sometimes, I have to recognize you I feel a bit inadequate 'cos I think that all what I write are just nonsense... and maybe you would say "How can you say that??", well, that's what I feel from time to time, like a sad clown who only want the people are happy and the only way this clown can get it is with jokes and "pretty intense vibes"... each one has a way for saying our feelings and the main fact isnt how you say it if not what you say... at the end, we say the same: you like Rob, you like Mike as me.. you see? Sometimes less is more and whatever you feel, this feelings, your feelings could be more than thousands of pages I could write with my words

 

 

And well, returning to Thread, my dearest Mike's angels and all our guests who contributed appropiated (actually they couldnt do it better) I have something for all you. It's a pic (obviously about Mike) but I have to tell all you that this pic comes from someone that I met in Linkin Park Spain. Girls, if we think we're "mad" with everything that has a relation with Mike, you dont know this girl, sure. I know that you wont like what I'm going to say but yesterday I couldnt deny so, I show her our little "home". I've never heard someone as happy as she was. She was pleased and she told me that we let her touch the same heaven, that we were real angels (I explained her everything about Mike's angels and son on after all, it's a part of COS's history) . She isnt a member of this forum but she would love to contribute here, so she send me this pic. She wanted that the "best museum of Mike Shinoda" would had a little contribution from her. She also said me that she could go to the Festimad festival where Linkin Park played some weeks ago, so she had lots of pics that she would love to give them to us as a present for letting her to show "our secret".

So, from her part, thank you very much 'cos she had the best present she could ever received.

 

 

EDIT: I'm sorry. I've had a problem and I'vent made it bigger. Andrea, hunny, if you can, I will be so frateful.:clap: *hug*

Not at all, hey, really I appreciate your ability to just express yourself in such a manner. I think what I was really trying to express was the fact I can't... no, I don't want to reply sometimes because it's already been said and said far better by someone else, so I just sit back, grin, salivate (nasty! I meant 'appreciate') the pictures (and I appreciate them a lot btw :o haha) and just sort of linger in the background a little. I lurk, if you will. I never meant to imply I think you're extreme in your devotion, hell no, who am I to judge? I admire you for that. Keep it up! You make me laugh, almost always you make me smile. And my lord (can't blaspheme, my Lord knows everything! ) you're right, I could write a hundred pages on such things as you do, but I consciously choose not to. Only occasionally. I can appreciate those that do, such as yourself. Appreciate and relate. Can't begrudge you that. :ok:

 

As for the pic...

 

Damn yum! I was like... baby, are those bedroom eyes or what?! (Well maybe not 'eyes' so much, I meant the whole expression. Like a hint of tongue there... Christ, don't get me started...:o haha aww)

Thanks again. And thank your friend too. Love the love, no matter where they come from.

[andrea]

Alright here's the pictures I promised. I know there tagged but that's the best I can do right now. Ana from LPHQ wont be online until Monday, but I hope when she comes back online that she had them HQ.

 

 

And one more thing, you should check out this short video that Mike posted on his site lately. It companies his upcoming art show. It's freaky.

EDIT: oh and one more thing, that picture you posted Usiel is that same size I have on my computer!

[Ravynlee]

Thanks as always for the pics Rashell <3

And that vid really is... wow. Makes me feel 'fortunate' (dare I put it like that) I live something of a relatively and very quiet life. I did enjoy the intro at the start from PsychologyToday.com. Rings with a lot of truth doesn't it? You can really explore this deep if you allow yourself. I guess that's the idea. Feels like a Celebrity 'Big Brother' and you know it's all false and for show and glamour and glitz but how we lap it up. Great social commentary. Don't you find it amusing to think something like this packs as much punch on a cerebral level as one of Chester's vocal screams?

Thanks again *hugs*

No problem. It's always a pleasure sharing them.

 

But I do have to say that I agree with on the video.

[Ravynlee]

I like the idea we're seeing 'a day in the life of Mike' / through his eyes so to speak.

The Insomnia part cracked me up. Good to see late night TV sucks universally, regardless where you live

The screaming fans (and all those escorts etc) made me cringe.

Actually have to say though I actually felt sorry for him (and them, those that experience this kind of lifestyle). Stripping away the glitz and glamour when you break it down they're all really just people with the same basic needs. Watching late night TV alone in a new country in a new bed surrounded by new people all treating you with professional courtesy out of what you do not who you are has got to be one hell of a burden to bear. And having strangers scream and clammer to get at you/get a piece of you has got to do something to your psyche.

It's a brave piece.

Man could branch out into broadcasting and documentaries and movies and such, he'd definately get my vote. The Michael Myers of social commentary without having to so much as say a word, or with heart in place of sarcasm.

Awsome.

 

And you're definately an angel. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

[andrea]

So true! Lol. I defiantly watch it if he did that. And the ending with the screaming fans had me cringing to.

[Ravynlee]

Yeah, reading about all those 'fans' that killed or attempted to kill their idols and THEN having that part where the fans are all 'Chester! I love you!' 'Mike! I love you!' man... gave me the chills...

How the hell can they still smile and be all cordial after that?! Gives you a new appreciation for the stuff they have to put up with - and worst thing you know, all of 'that' (featured in the clip) is like a side-effect of it all. Gone are the days he and the band could play music in anonymity in the studio and before that with the 8-tracks Bet when they all wanted to be famous (or moreover just wanted to be heard) that they never dreamed it would be like this. Music got them where they are and keeps them trapped in essence. The double-edged sword adage.

AND after all that you hear him saying as polietly as he can to the paparazi 'thankyou' gets in the car and just breaths a sigh of relief. Says it all right there doesn't it?

[andrea]

Yes it does.

 

That part in the video about the celebrity death's and attempts the 'crazy' fans tried on them and then going right into the screaming fans made me too have chill and almost made me cry. I don't know why but it almost did. Could be because I left bad that this is what he has to go through, but as you said it come with the territory of begin a musician.

[Ravynlee]

Yes it does.

I hear you.

Amazing thing is he ALWAYS seems to have that infectious grin on his face.

Have to give the man props, as tough as it is, you wouldn't know it. Bless him.

[andrea]

We sure do.

[SakuraUchiha]

That has to especailly tough for Chaz considering he had his own stalker who made threats to his wife and everything. I watched those screaming fans and I thought " oh man come on, the guys are just regular people who want their privacy". That gave me the creeps, which is hard thing to do to me, and the chills as well. If I got to me them I would not act like that at all, I would treat them as if they were average people just like the rest of us. Though I would still ask for there autographs.
