B-Side

B-Side is not just a place. It's an idea. But then again, it's much more than an idea. It's a place. Just as every shadow becomes visible in light, an idea becomes self-aware in space. And it is this ideological spatial reality in which the interwoven network commonly known as B-Side was cast. Welcome to B-Side! A safe beacon of hope shining down as a model for the outside world. Never before has a single Side been of such great importance to the survival of humanity. Is humanity in trouble, you ask? No. Of course not. Thanks to B-Side.

Then again, it's an idea -- an idea that with hard work and determination, people can win Not Pr0n, build a massive world in Minecraft, or accomplish what they say they'll do. Like a paper football league. The bottom line is that our community can have fun and build substance without abusing substances.

Feel free to make articles on what you believe defines B-Side!

Righteous Quotes by John
There is a reason our eyes look in the direction we walk. We look toward where we are going, not where we have been. We have the choice to look back, but our default has always been to look forward. If you look up and forward, well, things are looking up for you, kid. 6

You shouldn't marry someone for their money; you should marry them because they're hot. Don't be so darn shallow. 7

Someone asked me how to write lyrics. All I can say is to write the truth. Don't lie to yourself. Lyrics are meant to be understood and to evoke a feeling in the listener. The truth does just that. The style, the flow, and the rest of the lyrics -- they come later. But truth is paramount. 3

Many nice guys wonder why girls prefer assholes. It's not that they prefer assholes. A lot of girls want to feel unique. An asshole treats everyone like dirt, but the fact that he likes a girl makes that girl feel like she's different. Guys, you don't have to be a douche. But don't be a phony or a copycat of everyone else. That gets incredibly boring. Be courageous and unique, say what you would do and do what you would say, and you will get a unique girl. Girls are crazy after all; you just gotta find the one who's crazy for you. 10

Why do we love? Why do we feel pain, not the kind from touch? Are we more than just chemicals? Does the mystery of life lead to a life of mystery? We do not want the pain and yet we want to be human. 4

Don't cave into reality. Make reality cave into you. 5

Don't let others take advantage of you. Take advantage of yourself. 2

Don't just be in love, be love. 6

Be the drama you want to see in the world. 10

American voters are like women: they say they want a nice guy who does the right thing but then they end up with a complete douchebag who only cares about himself. 6

Skanks get dressed to get undressed. I dress to impress. 9

Legalize gay marijuana. #yeswecannabis 8

Yeah, red means stop. But green means go fuck yourself! 2

Difficulty does not imply impossibility. 3

Reflect not on the pain of loss but rather on the good times you have gained from those you loved. They have loved you, and they will continue to love you. You will find peace in your heart as you know they are in a place of peace and that they will always be in your heart. Listen to what they have said to you and done for you, live by their wise words, and they will live with you forever. 2

I have no one to betray but myself. That's pretty awesome. 2
