"you can't always get what you want, but if your try sometime you just might find you get what you need"

inspired by love in vain......so much else is not in vain.

not to sound negative, but don't you often feel that love is like putting pearls before swine?

Cheers for the post matey, Nepal sounds cool. Just my sort of thing but, unfortunately, too far from where we're going to be at. My girlfriend and I have already decided that if we like it out there we'll go again. Where about s is Bhutan in relation to Mombai?

an author named william least heat moon wrote a book called blue highways that chronicled his journey through the u.s. on the old "blue highways". they were the main roads marked in blue on old rand mcnally maps before the interstate highway system. he wrote a book called prairie earth afterward that was very long. it was a detailed tour of all the counties of...

life is so short and people find ways to have strife despite so much lip service to peace and harmony. it is so easy to seperate and exclude before we make any real effort to know each other on some meaningful level. too bad that so much slips to the easiest or lowest common denominator. people seldom make the effort to speak at length and clearly to each other. so many things can be interpretted in so many different ways. it takes some saying and effort to be precisely understood. it seems that few people have the patience to truly make the effort to communicate. as a result we are often isolated at the deepest level, or have solely superficial contact with each other. it is so much easier to engage in gossip, be absorbed in some sporting event or get lost in a video game than actually communicate with each other.

sophie:

you're goofy.

do you call all the girls that you like "bitch"? is it a test of our friendship?

hm. regardless, i agree on the red. i love red the most. and supposedly dark red is the color for scorpios, so that's pretty fitting, i would say.

alright quietdesparation. you are on the short list of people that i would consider for the position of toe licker, go getter, and general slave boy, if it became open. however. if you keep calling me bitch, without an explanation of how, in your twisted mind it's a term of endearment, i shall have to deliver some rather unkind punishments.

got it?

geez louise. i was only asking for an explanation. i guess suggesting that you'd like to be a slave is not the same as liking it when people get demanding with you.

ok. got it.

i ducked out a blizzard yesterday into a shop that sells bentleys, aston martins, ferrari, masserattis, lamborghinis and porsches. they had some good deals on a couple of used aston martins. boy do they rock! if you got an extra 150 g's hanging around you can pick up a slightly used one. however, the midnight blue bently coupe was the one to get. i was...

iris chang killed herself a number of weeks ago. she was 38 or 39. she wrote the book "rape of nanking" if you have not read it, you should. it is NOT easy. it is actually horrific. it is about life and how cruel humans can be to one another. it can be dismissed as another wwII story or dismissed as about the japanese. however,...
