Hi All,

My sub is about to run out, and for various reasons I won't enumerate, I won't be re-upping.

I love the hot young thangs, but honestly....

I encountered many interesting characters here, got to know a few really nice people, and maybe even a couple folks who could be true friends (I think you know who you are).

Thanks to everyone who ever...

From something I read the other day (as if you needed to be reminded):

The United States consumes about 21 million barrels of petroleum every day. About 85 million barrels a day is produced in the entire world. The US thus consumes about a fourth of the supply, even though it has only 5 percent of the world's population.

Weren't we born lucky? Don't you...

absolutely! consumption embiggens that heart!!


it's great when you see the mormons in guatemala or something. all the natives want to say yes to the american way, even when sold by a boy with a pocket protector. the mormons are selling their new gods, but the locals think they will get new cars and tv's out of their deal with the later day scents!

Yesterday on my drive to work--the main road going the other way was backed up from the outerbelt all the way to the edge of town. Nearer the office, the 65 mph lanes running to my exit were going at about 35 or less. With this extra time to think, I'm looking at the endless lines of cars, all with only one person in them,...

first, your right, maybe antonio banderas will teach thousands of prisoners the electric slide. kinda creeps me out the idea of a hollywood version, and yes the tranny beating made me scared too, because i am such a big pussy.

now your last post, i just read. i am glad you have somewhere to grieve the slender hot babe who died and is now living in the body of a woman with a big and getting bigger ass. it's clear that you love her, and it's normal to grieve.

when i got up to 240 or so pounds, i told my wife that i'd be gone a lot at the gym, but if i didnt go i was going to die well before her. now i am fit (only 187 at 5'11'', which is officially still 10 pounds overweight), and she is still somewhere between normal and morbidly obese. but my example did help get her to lose some weight and go to the gym. i think she'd go more, but she has health problems.

too bad 'curves' isn't coed, because i think its a good program for fat ladies (like my mom), because they don't have to deal with the push up bra ambercrombie and fitch across a tight bun crowd, which is only motivating for old voyuers like you and me.

but she might go if you go. or if she can watch her favorite show while sweating.

me, i listen to punk rock (even started buying new bands!) and watch football. that's why fall is a good season for me to slim. summer sucks, because i love BEER GAWDDAMMIT! (tho after 1 or 2, i can switch to seltzer)

I Have Such a Teacher

Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty:
Having nothing and wanting nothing.

I am a naked man standing inside a mine of rubies,
clothed in red silk.
I absorb the shining and now I see the ocean,
billions of simultaneous motions
moving in me.
A circle of lovely, quiet people
becomes the ring on my finger.

Then...

whatever, hippie. biggrin im just kidding, it sounds like a peaceful and resplendent wish. howve you been, buckeye?
waldo_jeffers:
Very beautiful elemental imagery. Perhaps I am pushing the analogy a bit far but you could adapt it for meditating upon the elements. A mine of rubies; Earth and Fire. The ocean; Water. The storm; Air, Fire and Water. With inner wealth such as that who would seek worldly power?

I love to imagine the sound of the ocean. One of my fantasies is to live in tower on a rocky island in the middle of the vast ocean listening all day to waves breaking upon the rocks (obviously a rather impractical fantasy but it makes for pleasant daydreams).

If I have difficulty sleeping, one of my methods of dealing with it is to start up a meditative breathing pattern (e.g. breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 2, breathe out for 4, hold for 2 etc) and then once the pattern has begun to flow naturally, I imagine myself seated upon a rock on sea coast such as Devon. I feel the roughness and solidity of the rock (I have always loved rocks, the way they feel, the texture, to feel the weight of a lump of weathered stone in my hand, to look at it closely and see the tiny grains or crystals of which it is composed). I feel the sea breeze and smell the salt air. As I watch the waves rolling it begins to rain (I love the rain and I especially love the sight of rain falling upon the sea and the hypnotic sound of the waves endlessly advancing and retreating upon the shore gradually takes me down into the land of winkin', blinkin' and nod.

I think that the funniest Fathers' Day card I've ever seen featured a picture of an old man holding up a bottle of whiskey with an expression of relief and contentment on his face and a caption which ran something like "It was a sad emotional time when the children finally left home". biggrin

I've never really paid much attention to Marilyn Monroe and I don't know all that much about her. What is it about her career / life / personality / allure that most inspires you?
redbstrd:
Well, I haven't read it, so I can't really contribute that much to the discussion.

Hope is the thing with razors
That perches in the bowel,
And no matter how you strain and groan
It makes you want to howl.

--popular English Dept. doggerel (w apologies to Miss Dickinson).

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong...
