Billie Joes Eyelids Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 1 minute ago, Kuromignonne said: I found this in an September article, about Billie and Mike's jumping skills: "Intense and raccoon-eyed, with a little aging growl mixed into his faux-British sneer, Armstrong still sounds as good as ever, and hasn’t lost much pep from his step, marching in double-time and leaping around the stage like a hobbit hopped up on Pixy Stix. Drawing, perhaps, from his Broadway training for American Idiot, he often struck exaggerated, operatic poses, playing much bigger than his compact, sprightly frame. Armstrong was matched leap for leap (and then some) by the sinewy, athletic Dirnt, who flexed, pogoed and executed the odd flying split-kick." http://preps.tampabay.com/blogs/soundcheck/review-green-day-please-the-masses-with-epic-concert-at-tampas-midflorida/2336389 Such good writing!!

Especially with standardized testing and the "everybody has to go to college" message being constantly pushed. I thought French school had the absolute record of narrow-mindedness. People are compared with the rest of the class on the reports, teachers say everyone's grades out loud... If you don't get good results it's because you're spoiled, lazy or do it on purpose. Anyway it's because you supposedly don't work enough; which is of course not true at all. I didn't do all the homework, far from it, but enough to feel wasted and I absolutely hated going at school in the morning. I've been in several types of school, the common thing is it was always the jungle. 11 minutes ago, neverdone2000 said: Billie is obviously a very smart guy, and also as I said gifted in multiple ways. But I shudder to think about what road he would have gone down if he hadn't had Green Day, because by the time he was 16 he thought he was a failure in every other way. Billie is way more clever and deep than his detractors like to describe him. Billie is cleverer than me and anyone I can think of among people I know. I'm not saying that in a math point of view but in the way he speaks and reacts to begin with. Billie is the proof that being smart doesn't mean you have to renounce to your silly side (and the proof that, even when you believe you're dumb, you can still turn out to be really smart). Here's a nice pic of jumping flying Billie : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niënor Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I love the comparison to a hobbit. . He is quite hobbity. That should be his Halloween costume this year. When he is really seriously discussing something he comes off pretty intelligent to me. I know he's said that he was so far behind he wouldn't have graduated in time even if he hadn't dropped out. Do you think tha ts because he had already checked out and knew what he really wanted to Do? Who knows, maybe we shouldn't assume he isn't brilliant at math. . Some people are just good at everything. Like my ex...he was super smart, creative, artistic, a musician. Not to mention good looking and really sweet. . Sorry, I need someone to talk me down. I've been missing the bastard lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's said that he was so far behind he wouldn't have graduated in time even if he hadn't dropped out. Do you think tha ts because he had already checked out and knew what he really wanted to Do? I’m sure it was a lot of factors. His ADD may have made it hard to focus, he decribes himself as disorganized and you need good organizational skills to complete and remember assignments and study for tests, his home life was chaotic, his mom worked all the time and he had little supervision and no one to really provide home support, he knew he didn’t have the resources to go to college and all he wanted to do was play in his band. He was also the class stoner and you can’t perform in school if you’re doing drugs, drinking, etc. If not for his considerable talent he would have resembled so many high school losers we all knew that ended up pumping gas or in jail. He certainly fit the profile. He once said he knew what he wanted to do for a living so why bother with school, it was just holding him back and wasting his time. Remember too that he left home at seventeen so after that he really had little motivation to show up. That was likely when he started falling seriously behind and as soon as he turned eighteen he dropped out. He said when he went to get his permission slip signed from his teacher, the teacher didn’t even know who he was, that’s how rarely he was showing up by senior year. Given his background, it’s not surprising that Billie didn’t finish high school but downright miraculous that Mike did. He came from an equally chaotic and unsupportive homelife but the difference was he was self motivated and really wanted to graduate. He also held down several jobs where Billie’s jobs never lasted long. Mike wanted to have a back up plan of some sort, Billie was all in with no back up whatsoever. Lucky for him it paid off. No one would have bet this kid would be a multimillionaire by 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Halloween, I seriously asked my boss today if I could come disguised like Billie in 2011 as Jack Skellingkton (aka @-Billiejoezee-'s profile pic), with supporting picture . My boss laughed cringely, and then he said : "that would be funny though". Well, I still think I will not be authorized to do it 44 minutes ago, Niënor said: When he is really seriously discussing something he comes off pretty intelligent to me.

Yeah, I think Billie is able to do a lot of intellectual stuff if he wants to, but he won't do it (perhaps can't do it) if it's just being forced to. Being "so far behind he wouldn't have graduated" means to me that he felt unable to keep up with what was expected at school, not that he didn't have the skills or intelligence. Keeping up with school requires more motivation and ability to do only what you're expected to do, than intelligence itself the way I see it. We all know Billie had motivation and ability to do, on the very contrary, all the unexpected, in the most brilliant way. 44 minutes ago, Niënor said: Some people are just good at everything.

That's okay, it's the confessions thread. I myself have thought to my ex the past weeks (even though he was neither smart nor creative, or even less good looking, he was sweet though), and I felt sorry for him to the point I wanted to apologize for the way I ended our relationship almost two years ago. But knowing I have refused to answer his repeated attempts to call me during more than one year, I don't know if it would not be a terrible mistake to come up to him and say I'm sorry for the way I did it. I really feel sorry. I read the last mails I sent to him as a breakup, it was really angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The T-shirt I wonder if they had the box he's standing on ready for him or if he requested it 11 hours ago, jengd said: Green Day are my sole reason for having Tumblr.

amberwhite Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 omg. The t-shirt, the nail polish, the racoon eyeliner AND eyeshadow?!?!!!! My mouth dropped when I saw the eye shadow. Thank goodness the Mr. didn't notice -- that would have been an awkward discussion! Guess I'll be purchasing some new eyeliner soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaslight13 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 He needs a tighter black t-shirt for that first picture. He really needed that box though, look at her heels! Damn. My question is though, is he still on the box for the other two photos or did she just take off the heels? The third picture though I actually lol'd. She's lookin all sexy and he looks like he fell asleep standing up (though still sexy in his own way of course). Gotta say, combined with the necklace he's looking quite feminine there. While I of course love his masculine side, I'm a big fan of when he gender bends Side note: I hope this comes out soon. I'm about to need new eyeliner. There's more added to her story...lol handcuffs?? I'd post it here but had to screen shot and dunno how to upload a photo.... EDIT: here it is...

jengd Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Way to start the day! I was going to comment on @Kuromignonne post and say he probably could learn to play the sax if he put his mind to it but then saw the pics with Kat Von D and now I may have to take to black eyeliner! OMG, yes he’s gender bending but PHWOAR, t-shirt, arms, eyes, hair, nails and handcuffs HANDCUFFS. oh, and a box to stand on, god bless this man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 So we never had a photoshoot of Billie in a collar but now we have one with him handcuffed to Kat Von D while she's dressed like a dominatrix instead??? There is a god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerjeezus Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 He looks absolutely fabulous with the eyeliner and I say that even though I'm not an eyeliner person.

Someone photoshoped Billie running in some weird pictures: Anyway, I think I just spend the last 45 minutes looking at pictures of Billie on Instagram. There is one I never saw before, but I'm not sure I can post it here because I think it might have been stolen from his personal account. So, I'm just going to describe it: Billie is doing the sad face wearing a very weird outfit (this include pyjama pants and winter hat) in his house. This honestly made me laugh like a mad woman! 20 hours ago, Montclare said: I'm always impressed when he goes into the splits and bounces back up. I'd just pull a muscle if I tried that.

I think the eye liner and shadow is too much but like the look of the pics with the jacket off better so far, he looks more masculine when we see those amazing arms! They all look great though, who would have expected this although as someone already said, we shouldn't be surprised, he is the poster boy for guyliner. Maybe his next career move will be modelling................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
