It has been a week yall, but I am back up on here once again for you viewing pleasure. Some fresh happenings recently occurred; and I want to welcome Lil Tymer into the world of Listylvannia. Hell fucking yeah, Mad City Kitty had her baby this morning I have been told. I am not sure on any other details except that it was named Samoan. I am not sure if the spelling is correct on that, but what ever, CONGRATULATIONS Kittye and Biggy. Biggy I know your part was a small one but hey way to be; Kitty hope your doing alright and that everything is A OK. Well that is the news for now, I will keep yall posted as I hear more. MLL...

May 7, 2004
It seems that I have said some things, and have speculated on some things, and posted some wicked Malicious Gossip that a few did not like. Well OK. This is a Malicious Gossip page in case yall did not remember. Everything I said in the past has been nothing but me throwing out ideas, and thinking out loud. I do not know what route I am going to take with this site, it may still shut down, yall may still be seeing me ramble on about nothing. I am just not sure, I have only shared thoughts and feelings with yall in the past few days, Right now I am feeling sad that I did that. It seems some did not like what I said. That is my business though and today we have much more important things on the rise. My homie and yours, the great and astonishing OddBall has asked to have the following posted:

Check it... The Astonishing OddBall, 350° Morton's List Adept. I'd like
to start off by saying "Konishiwa, but we say whaddup tho" to everyone
in the Inner Circle, world wide, dead, alive, fresh, stale, Listalos,
Muggles, Juggalos, Ninjas, Shadows, the Forbidden ones, Nightly types,
Twilight Lords, Initiates, Feeblos, Play Testers, Player Haters, Kings
of Grey and Beige Mountains, Pregnant Listalettes missing their
symboties, Soul Leech muhfuckas, ninjas just learning how the fuck NEGATE
works, homies looking for 360°, peeps grounded for eating seeds, and anyone
else reading this shit. Whaddup y'all, I missed y'all big time being
gone, but I'm BAAAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!
Now, as many of you may or may not know (If ya don't know, where ya
been?) I've been MIA for quite a while. A while ago, I faced
Enlightenment. It wasn't pretty, and you all got the shit end of the stick. But I
think I'm on my way down the other side of that mountain, if you see what
I'm saying. I'm once again seeing the mountain for the marvel it is,
not the horrendous workout it can be. Ever since resigning from the
Ninjas of the Crimson M, my presence hasn't been so strong in the Inner
Circle. Well, I'm here to let y'all know that me being gone is a thing of
the past.
Recently a lot of members of the Inner Circle have been losing heart or
what not, because we're growing up. We're going off to school, having
babies, getting married, getting jobs, whatever. People think there's no
time left for the Inner Circle and how we do. But there's always an
hour. Somewhere in your life, there's always an hour begging for an
adventure. A story. A legend.
You can strap that baby on your back while fighting off alien invaders.
You can do your homework on a mountain top. You can roll a Quest at the
reception. You can get Mutated before work.
This game we live, this Life we play... This is our Legacy. Let's not
leave this all behind. I've said it before and I think I'm enlightened
enough to know that it's the truth, now and forever... We stand on the
threshold of a Revolution. The Anti-Boredom, Pro-Karma Revolution. We,
those of us reading this right now, are some of the few, the chosen, the
ones who see the stories that lie before us, just waiting to become
part of our past. Turning our back on this lifestyle and closing the door
only opens the door to a life of mediocrity. A life of work and school,
television, and sleep. We deserve more than that. We deserve to have
our Books of Life filled to the brim with adventure, laughs, amazement,
and even tears.
If the Inner Circle websites are to be shut down, at least archive them
somewhere. Let them remain so that others, the newcomers, the Fresh
Karma can look to the past and see what the Inner Circles have done. Don't
erase them forever. Let them stand as a testament to what the Boulder
can do.
With that, I have some freshness to share with y'all. I promised myself
I wouldn't do this, because I'm the king of empty promises, but I'm not
putting any dates on any of these, so don't expect them too soon.
Freshness Nugget #1) I'm in the works of getting a new computer. Why is
that fresh for you? Well, for one, if you know anything about me, or
have ever rolled a Quest with me, you know how STALE my computer is, and
you should just be happy for me. But aside from that, it means a few
things for you: It means more coming from The Astonishing OddBall,
including, but not limited to... The Boulder Show! A Morton's List Internet
Access Show, coming not-so-LIVE and Direct from my Quests to your
eyespheres. It means that the Pro-Karma Revolution site will be finished,
with flavor you honest-to-God can NOT even comprehend. Trust me. The
Pro-Karma Revolution will bring things to your Table that you seriously, no
lie, 100% CAN NOT IMAGINE. Think of everything cool the PKR site could
possibly have, then add some shit you shouldn't bother to think about,
because you don't know. I'm talking a full.. No, fuck it. You'll just
have to see it to believe it.
Freshness FuckBall #2) I have a bootleg-ass, yet still fresh Morton's
List Poster for anyone in the Wisconsin piece of the cake that wants it.
So, uh, for the first person in Wisconsin to say "HIT ME WITH A BRICK
AND LICK MY DICK," on the Tag-Board, you got it. Easy as that. I'm just
saying Wisconsin Listalos because I can hand it over instead of
shipping it, I don't wanna spend money to give this thing away, it's not worth
it. It's a blown up copy of the ML ad in one of the Pendulum comics,
and it's about 10" x 15". Fresh.
Freshness Turd #3) I'm announcing my desire to return to the Ninjas of
the Crimson M. It was wrong of me to leave, and if the Clan has any
honor, it won't be easy for me to return, but as the founder, I don't want
the site to die and am willing to work on it by myself if need be, and
honestly, it's where I belong. I was going to start a new Inner Circle,
strictly for Oshkosh Listalos, but I just would never feel it as much
as I would being in the Crimson M. So, there it is. If the Ninjas will
have me back, I'm willing to take the 13 Trials. Hit me.
Freshness Load Busted on Your Momma's Titties #4) This is the big one
right now, in my eyes. Idunno, maybe y'all won't feel it like I do, but
this is the freshest thing I can imagine. Get ready for this shit.
I'm currently working on (and am about 3/5 of the way done with, minus
the illustrations) an all-new, unofficial supplement to Morton's List:
The End to Boredom, entitled "The Ring of Fire." Some of y'all have
heard about this, but now that it's in full swing, I'm gonna share it with
everyone else. I'm not going to talk too much about it, because it can
only be understood by experiencing it... But I will say this: I plan to
present it to the Inner Council of Twilight Lords, to see if they would
be interested in making it official. I honestly, swear to God, believe
that it's that fresh. But let me tell you this: If it goes as I imagine
it, it will do to what Morton's List fifty times over what 360° did.
Oshkosh and Wisconsin Listalos, expect to see this being used when
playing with me in the near future... In fact, if you're interested in play
testing it, email me. (oddball@crimsonm.com)
Allright, y'all. Keep that Boulder rolling.
Morton's List FOREVER,
The Astonishing OddBall
350° Morton's List Adept

That is what my homie has to say. Now let me get into what I want to say. EVERYTHING I POST IS SPECULATION. I am thinking about closing down the site, at times I think it would be for the best, but at other times I know I would miss it like hell. I am not sure what I am going to do. But I have not out grown the List, nor am I trying to avoid it. This is the truth here, I do not have the time, and when I do get an hour that wants an adventure, it is like 3 in the morning and I am the only one up this side of the river. My lack of rolling is due to conflicting schedules, and my fucked up hours that I keep. But OddBall has written some deep shit above, so I am not closing down right now. I will take another month, at least and think it over. Feel free to voice your opinion at any time, I would like to hear from yall. Summer is coming and that will more than likely mean I will be rolling again really fucking soon. So just sit back and await The Horde's final decision. But in the mean time I want to feel out the future, and talk with other webmasters and see what is the haps on the PKR. OK well that is all for now. I will be back at yall soon. You can be assured of that. Peace and much muther fucking List Love.

Some rather crazy things happening today in List land huh? CrimsonM.com announces its plans for shutdown, and Mortonslist.com denies the world further copies of 360°. Which just for the record, I am in full support of. The thing about 360°is just what the news post said, it was a limited run. It keeps the whole thing underground, now I also understand the other side of it, there are a few Listalos who may have just learned about 360° or they have just been sleeping on it for a long ass time. Either way it seems yall got a bone, but hey make it a quest to find one of the 1000 ninjas with it. I know many of them, they are around you just have to look.
CrimsonM.com has stated they are going to shutdown and get back to basics. I like that idea. It is mad fresh. As I posted yesterday, I feel that as 360° falls out of circulation, and the last few are picked off the shelves, the movement falls out of circulation too. The idea of keeping a steady circle just seems too fucking hard. No matter which circle you look at Listalos have come and gone. You may not have even known about it either, but I did, and so did other webmasters. You know, the idea of an Inner Circle is just fresh, but like life, they change, people come and people go. You cannot stop it.
With that in mind I would say to my homies around Listylvannia, to shut down the sites. I am not talking about Mortonslist.com that will never die, in fact rumor has it they are about to give it a face lift. I am excited. Best of luck to yall on that. If yall need any help you can get a hold of me. Let me tell you what I am talking about here...this suggestion is aimed at Ninjas of the Night, and Nocturnal Shadows, maybe even FRO...I know that yall were thinking about doing Juggalo things again, but I am just saying we all go down as one. We all rose at different times, FRO acting as the Father, CrimsonM following, and so on.... Well 360° is buried, and all the original circles have seemingly feel apart, or lack time. I mean the FRO has Blazealotus over there helping them, that is fresh, but they all have ML.com. I guess what I am saying is that Listylvannia could use ML.com as a its full-on life support, and we (the Inner Circles or lack there of in some cases) can do any updates or random posts on the ML.com message board. That muther fucking thing is the shit, I am telling ya. It will rock your fucking head off. They have it going on over there. However I am guilty of not hitting up as of late. I am sorry about that yall, but come next week, it is on! SCHOOL IS OUT at the end of that week! So I can go over there and play catch-up. So it is a suggestion and something to think about...we could all go down together, or not I do not know I am just throwing shit out there. That is my two cents.
Nothing but love for each and every boulder roller...

It has been a while Listalos...And guess what I still have no fucking news. What a surprise. But today I have a super mega book like post for yall. It runs deep and is something none of yall probably expected. With that in mind let me kick it off...I have been thinking about closing down the site. Now do not jump to conclusions, either of you... I am just at a loss of info to post. It has been so long since I rolled, really it has been a long time since I have done anything but work, or school. That is how it goes though. I am just wearing thin yall, I do not know if I can keep up the site, well I can, but I have nothing to put on it. Or rather nothing of any interest to Listing. I am sad about it all. I do not know though, I am in a funk right now, I do not know what to do. I mean do not get me wrong, I fucking love this site, but there is no more Horde really. It is now just an idea. I have been thinking about investing all my interest into the PKR but nothing has evolved yet, it was going strong, but something has happened and we are at a stand still. Really I probably not going on this tangent but why not, this is a window for the 2 to 12 ninjas that look at this site.
The bottom line is this, I have been consumed by other things, rolling is not one of those things. Responsibilities have taken up a lot of my time and I cannot find time to roll. I want to, but there is not enough hours in the day. I do not know what will happen, but I will still be around somewhere no matter what, and still hold the List in high regard.
During my break (this time during which I am not rolling), I have taken in a lot of new info that has shed some light onto the List. And the List has helped me better understand life. I am taking it all in and seeing the big circles that are around us all. It is hard to describe but I am sure some of you know what level I am on here. No matter, things in my life are changing, you can say it is for better or worse, it does not matter. I cannot stop it now, my outlook and priorities are changing and that change has and will continue to demand most of my time. I will get to find time to roll in the summer, but The Horde, and the ideas behind The Horde are long since dead. All members that started, joined, quite, fell out, and continue to rep The Horde have all changed in drastic ways.
Let's take a step back...This whole thing web thing was stated out to fulfill a quest. I took it to the extreme. There is no body else that really took part in putting this all together, and keeping it together, but me. That was my decision, and I had a hell of a fucking time doing it too. But now, I have no purpose, there is no circle, we drifted apart in ways. Friendships come and go I guess, all of us are still on good terms it would seem, but we do not get to talk. I have not seen or heard from my man Zach in ages, my homie Bones is still under, all up and coming members have seemingly lost interest, some have moved away, and others have moved on. And as for me, well I got it off the ground, run it full bore for a while, and now have nothing else to share to the List world. Well that is not true, I do have ideas and talents to share, but just not on The Horde site.
The List is all about not being board, this web site did that for me, and I hope that it has kept some of you from being board by reading all my ramblings. That is what it is all about. But now, see, I have nothing for yall. I feel like I am boring now, and it bores me that I have nothing to update, but I do not have time to roll or gather so that I could even do so. It is a violent circle.
So I do not know what I am going to do. NOTHING has been decided, this is all just me thinking, so I have something to post. But here is what I am feeling right now, I am thinking about shutting this site down. Then, I would offer my services to some other site.
Look I am going to be brutally honest with yall, look around, the list sites look like grave yards. Nothing personal yall, I too am at fault, but I just think one combined site or some shit would be good. I was thinking about hooking up on the MortonList.com site, they have that section where you can manage your own page. Yeah well that might be the route I go. I am not sure how others feel about this, but I guess I am feeling similar to how my man OddBall felt a few months ago. So this can be considered a post to inform Listylvannia that I am thinking about retiring from The Horde. But with that retirement, comes the collapse of The Horde. There is no more funding to back it up if I leave. I need to be saving money anyway. So, I guess a sign from Karma would might change my mind, but other than that, expect what I fortold above. Just because as I am writing this I am thinking more and more, and going on more and more, sorry about that, but any way keep reading...I am going out for a smoke...
OK well yeah I am not sure, it is undecided at this point. My life is just kind of suspended in this limbo type area and things are different. I guess I will just leave it at that and think some more on it. No matter what yall will hear from me again at least once more on this site, but other than that I am making no promises.
I have nothing but love for each and every one... There are so many of you who indirectly helped me on this site, OddBall, Mad City Kitty, Sugar Tits, Big Tymer, Bubz, Rick, Kristy, the list could go on for a while. I want to thank yall for that, but I am at a cross roads here and decisions have to be made, the site accounting for one of those decisions. And since the downfall of the circle, the news and updates have been lacking. I know if it ends here soon, many lose ends are left untied, well that is how it happens, but I will do the best I can to make sure all are happy. Things like the invasion, a new contest, updates all will hang in the balance, but with no activity due to lack of time and the lack of a full circle (Bubz I know you were always down to rock it homie - and we got fucked over on more than one occasion in the past cause plans fell through, or people never showed up). It is just an on going battle and I am about to cave under the pressure. Karma got me started, it was what my basis was for this site, a undertone if you will, but never really a rule. It has made for good times, and has reeked havoc all at the same time. Looking back- it all started off to strong and maybe with the wrong message, that was my fault. Things were not always clear (my fault), and sometimes those things were taken the wrong way, which again was my fault. If I had got to do it over again, I would change a lot of things, and I bet The Horde would not have gone the way it did, it would not have even started up the way it did. The entire structure would be different and the outlook would be very different, even the people would have probably been different. It is really all to much to put down on 'paper' really, but what is done is done and no matter it cannot be changed. Getting back to the point, you might be able to tell you might not, but my life is different. Much of it is explained above, and if you did not pick up on it, sorry but it is supposed to be well hidden. The Horde is now just an idea and I do not know where to go from here, only to bury it as the last copies of 360° of the Inner Circle are being sold out for what seems to be like a long time. It really seems fitting in a way.
However you never know when this could all just come back in some form. I do not know, all I know is that many of the past and present Horde members all still have mad love for the List, it is just that the love had evolved, and is clear, at least to me.
Listalos, that love is inside you, and it might not be what your expecting it to be, (it was not what I thought it would be that is for sure) just look for it. I think it has given me a better understanding of life that I could never explain. The differences are subtle, but they are present. I will leave yall with that for now.
MLL...
