thats when --she appeared. ...Vanna White, in the flesh with her

I think I would have to disagree with ya there, phil. (though it may depend upon how far you go...maybe)

P.I. secret decoder ring

its natural, feels natural...feels... right, to become "myself".

yeah, i think paranoid is a state of mind, whereas this was....very physical, very "real".

Yea, qryos!

very good description, Theresa. Ive had that feeling before, too. Every move deliberate, breath witheld, adrenalin rush, stiff neck and all. peace

...! peace.

lol... you dont need to remind me, crzyme ...and what better place than vegas, --vegas? lol...j/k dude. peace

"tattooing is intentional harm"? ...then so might be: --combing your hair (if you have it) --brushing your teeth (if you have them) --clipping your fingernails (if you grow them) --and maybe even taking a bath (even if you dont get dirty)... ...how is being tattooed "intentional harm", chico? peace.

Although some may be surprised by my response (myself included), I feel, at the moment, that the "majority of the masses" need some of the laws and organized religions to keep them "civilized" and "socially aware", because from my personal observation and uneducated calculations, about 80% of the human population would be mentally incapable of self preservation without any fences to pen them in...even though they be "perfect representations of themselves". peace

crzyme, it sounds like ive offended you and that you disagree with my statement. I understand where it is that youre coming from (if I understand where youre coming from, that is). Being aware that most people would be able to find fault in my statement, and knowing ("full well") that I would not be able to anticipate every situation, I still did my best to minimize the number of circumstances that one might present for objection. The story of your husbands second cousin is one example that i feel should have been covered with the statement immediately above, since it brought nothing but sincere respect and admiration for him from me, but it did not change my original opinion. It seems that your husbands 2nd cousin and I have many things in common; one of which is that "...much of what he has to say can be lost via not being understood". I will try to rectify this (and hopefully do it without offending you even more), in another post and under another topic title, if you should be so kind as to follow me, It would be my pleasure to help you understand my point of view. Thank you, and if it be an appropriate situation, I would love to have your cousins second husband join us! Peace, crzyme. AT8FATES edited: SORRY, I meant "your husbands second cousin", of course!

Every soul born is an unique individual. What some of you will call a "birth-defect" is perfect nature to the one born. If ever there were one born whom would consider itself "defective", well then, that one should be laid waste; for the ONLY defect apparent to "God" is the belief or intention that a gift such as life could ever be diminished or squandered upon any form of life that was anything less than perfect.. And the only "sin": believing that there could exist within ANY form of life, from the smallest and (seemingly) most insignificant state of existence unto the the most expansive and furthest reaching arms of any celestial universe might contain within itself ANY sign or symptom of being ANYTHING other than PERFECT...Even from the very moment of its creation, unto the final assimilation of its last mote of physical life. ...To be continued ...sorry bout that i gotta go...bad!

peace, pegasuss.

Thank you, Rev. Fred. I appreciate that.

lol, sorry, yeah. Not normally though, just been pressed for time the last couple weeks with no end in sight yet... peace, confuzus.

A few years ago I got fed up with the radio and having to listen to a whole album for just one song so I started making my own music. I've since joined with my friend and drummer, Mike, and my wife joins in on the chimes and tamborine occasionally. Its just about all I listen to anymore (not that our stuff is all that great, though some of it really is, I just listen for ways to improve). I used to do alot of writing too, but as of yet havent put any words with music. I feel that words can really limit the direction, or rather, perception of the music (not vocals, though...just words), so for now, its all Music. The songs usually end up being as long as the tape is able to record. I really hate to try to cut 3 or 4 minutes out of any of it just to fit someones limited attention span, but, it can be done. If youre interested you can check out four of them on "myspace.com". I just bought a Sitar too, have yet to record any of that though...probably be awhile too... Turning out to be a "shameless plug" I guess... Let me know what you think. Some of my better known influences include: Led Zepplin, Bad Company, Robin Trower, Rare Earth, Beatles, Grand Funk, Gershwin, Moody Blues, Neil Young, Black Sabbath, Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Tommy James, Jethro Tull, Aqua Velvets, anything paisley basically, Pink Floyd, etc...

CHAPTER 3 1. ...AND THE WHEELS WERE SET ASIDE FOR A SEASON, FOR MAINTENANCE; SO, THE ANGELS WALKED AMONG THE SOULS OF THE WORLD, BEGOT OF THE MUSIC; WHO LIVED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD-REVEALED; AND; THOUGH SORELY WHEEL-LESS, DEEMED THAT THIS, TOO, WAS GOOD ... 2. ...AND IT WAS VERY, VERY GOOD, SO THAT THEY NEEDED NOT MORE DAYS; NOR, DID THEY NEED MORE NIGHTS, BUT, INSTEAD, KEPT THE SEVEN IN HARMONY; RELIVING THEM WITH NEW-NESS, AND; SHARED THEM WITH THE SOULS WHO LIVED; AND THE ROAD-REVEALED WAS ALIVE AGAIN WITH MUSIC AND THEY WERE GLAD... 3. ...CAME TO PASS A NEW PROPOSITION; YEAH; VERILY; SO GOOD WAS THE MUSIC; AND; GOD-WHO-WAS-THE-ANGELS BLESSED THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER AND THE WORLD; AND; WOAH! IT WAS VERY, VERY GOOD! IT WAS; MUY BUENO! UPON THEIR TONGUE; AND THEY LAUGHED; AND SHARED THAT, TOO, WITH THE WORLD SAYING; "THIS... ... THIS... IS GOOD!”... 4. ...AND GOD-UPON-THE-ROAD-REVEALED WAS LOVED AND DID LOVE; SAYING; "O, YES; THIS TOO, IS VERY, VERY GOOD!" AND THE IDEA OF WOMEN IN THE WORLD IMPRESSED GOD; AND GOD THEM; AND; MAKING ANOTHER MUSIC TOGETHER; WAS-T A NEW OMEN... 5. ...AND, LO! A SHROUD UPON THE ROAD-REVEALED; WAS HEAVEN-ETERNAL; AND; THE MUSIC OF GOD WAS THE RULE AND THE WAY, AND; SPAKE THE-ANGELS-WHO-WERE-GOD, SAYING: "ALL IS WELL, EACH ONE BEING THE BEST OF A KIND; AND HOLY UNTO ME." AND IT WAS AGAIN, SO VERY, VERY, GOOD...... ACT 2 CHAPTER 1 1. ...NOW THE RIGHT FRONT FINGER ROSE ONCE MORE, AND BID THE ANGELS: "RIDE AGAIN, AND MAKE MUSIC AMONG THE SOULS WHO LIVE ALONG THE ROAD; FOR; LAY THEY, LACKING PASSION, AND THEIR HEARTS HAVE GROWN SOBER, SO THAT THEY NOTICE NOT THE ATROPHY WHICH HAS OVERWHELMED THEM” ... 2. ...AND THE ANGELS WERE BORNE, ON WHEELS NOW RE-MADE; AND THE TWO WHEELS OF EACH WERE AS A FIRE TO THE MORTAL EYE; THEIR SEASON OF MAINTENANCE HAVING COME; AND THEN TO PASS; THUS; BEARING NEW GENERATION UPON THE WORLD... 3. ...AND GOD-WHO-WAS-THE-ANGELS KNEW ONCE MORE OF BEING IN THE WIND; AND THE HAIR OF THE ANGELS HAVING FOUND NEW LENGTH, DID UNFURL; AND BEHIND THEM; WAS A GLORY TO BEHOLD! AND; THE RIGHT FRONT FINGER THEN; EVEN MOVED, AMONG THE TANGLES; FINDING GOODNESS THERE AS WELL... 4. ...AND IT CAME TO PASS; THAT GOD-WHO-WAS-THE-ANGELS DECLARED; "LET THIS WIND BE; AND WILDLY POTENT; ...AND A POWER UNTO IT'S OWN!" AND; DID SET IT TO MOVE AS IT WOULD IN THE WORLD, BY BREATH OF THE ANGELS; FOR; STAGNANCE LAY UPON THE ROAD-REVEALED, NEEDING A MIGHTY STIRRING... 5. ...AND; SO WENT THIS WIND; EVEN ACROSS ALL THE WORLD; AND THOSE LIVING BESIDE THE ROAD-REVEALED WERE SEEN TO KNEEL; PANTING-NAKEDLY; SO STRONG WERE THEIR PASSIONS MADE NEW, BY THE BREATH OF THE ANGELS UPON THEIR EARS... AND; IT WAS GOOD...... CHAPTER 2 1. AND IT CAME, AND IN PASSING; WAS A THIRD REVELATION, AND AN OMEN; UNTO THE SHROUDED-NESS OF HEAVEN; THAT IN THE RIDING LAY, IT'S SELF; THE TRUE GLORY ... ... FOR; THOUGH DESTINATION HELD GREAT APPEAL; TO RIDE WAS THE THING ... AS; ALL WHO DID SEE DID THEN COVET THE RIDE... 2. ...SO THE ANGELS-WHO-WERE-GOD SMILED UPON THE COVETOUS; SAYING FOR THE FIRST TIME: "NO-WAY, DUDES! ...: TO RIDE THOU MUST BE FIRST FOUND UN-SOILED BY THE STALE-NESS WHICH HATH BECOME IN THE WORLD, AND HATH HIDDEN ITSELF FROM THE BREATH OF ANGELS!"... 3. ...AND; AROSE, THEN A GREAT WAILING, FROM THOSE WHO HAD NOT TWO WHEELS, AND THE WAILING WAS HEART-FELT; AND GOD HEARD THE WAILING OF THEM, AND SAID AT LAST: "THIS... THIS ... IS NOT GOOD!" AND IT WAS NOT GOOD... 4. ...THEN, GOD-WHO-WAS-THE-ANGELS FELT THE WEIGHT OF THEIR LONGING; AND PROFFERED ANOTHER FINGER; THAT ONE NEXT TO THE RIGHT-FRONT; SAYING: "COME THOU, NOW, UNTO ME, THOSE OF YOU WHO ART IN DIRE NEED OF RIDING, AND; MAKE UNTO ME A MUSIC OF YOUR WAILING; 5. ..."THAT THOU SHALT MAKE ME GLAD IN THE PROVING OF YOUR STALE-LESS-NESS!" AND THOSE UN-FEARING OF THE WRATH OF GOD UPON THEIR FAILING; DID RAISE THEMSELVES UP TO THIS OCCASION; AND GOD; UPON THE ROLLING THRONE OF CHROMIUM-FIRE, BLESSED THEM WITH MERCY...... CHAPTER 3 1. ...THUS CAME GOD TO CHOOSE FROM AMONG THEM; THOSE WHO DID NOT TREMBLE AND WHINNY, AND THEIR WAILING; WAS-T BECOME A NEW ELEMENT TO THE MUSIC, AND UNTO GOD; NEW BEAUTY. THEN; GOD-WHO-WAS-THE-ANGELS WAS-T GLAD... 2. ...NOW THIS NEW MUSIC, SET THE ANGELS TO PONDER; AND IN PONDERING; AGAIN TO PARTAKE, AND; THEY BEHELD AGAIN INNER VISION, SEEING: ONE AMONG THE CHOSEN THEY WOULD-ST NEEDS CALL TO JOIN THEM IN PARTAKING; AND SEEING HER RIDE; THEY CALLED HER: "BEAVE" ... 3. ...SO, BEAVE, HEARING HER NAME IN THE VOICE OF THE ANGELS; BEING SURE TO HERSELF, THAT SHE WOULD NOT TREMBLE; CAME BEFORE THEM, ASKING: "... HOLY-ROLLERS ... WHAT WOULD-ST THOU ASK OF ME?" AND THEY SAID UNTO HER AS ONE VOICE: "GET THEE DOWN, DUDE, BEFORE US!"... 4. ...AND BEAVE ALMOST TREMBLED, BUT; REMEMBERING; THEY HAD CALLED HER; BEAVE CHECKED HERSELF, AND; SHE KNELT HERSELF DOWN BEFORE THEM. THEN BEAVE, WITHOUT FEAR, FOR; SHE KNEW HER COUNTENANCE WAS PROPER; ASKED AGAIN: "HOW, BEST, GOD, MIGHT I SERVICE THEE?"... 5. ...AND THE ANGELS-WHO-WERE-GOD SAID UNTO HER: "ARISE, NOW!" AND: "JOIN US; THAT WE MAY, EACH OF US; KNEEL ALSO BEFORE YOU; THAT WE ALL SHALT BE AS ONE; AND EQUALLY EMPOWERED BY OUR OWN GRACE!" SO DID THE BEAVE RISE, BLESS-ED, AND, UNTO GOD, SAYING: "O, THIS...IS SO GOOD! “......
