"29 Year Old College Drop Out,
|
|
On The Brink Of Financial Ruin,
|
|
Uncovers Secret Money System That
|
|
Rakes In $55,247.25 In One Month..."

|
Listen, I feel honored that you feel you must
|
|
to spam so many people with this half-true
|
|
legend (or should I say true half-legend)
|
|
about me from so long ago I get teary-eyed
|
|
each time just reading between the lines.
|
|
But listen, tell the rest of the truisms
|
|
along with it dammit.
|
|
Inmediamente, I donated $12,000 to the NY
|
|
Public Library, 15,230.50 to the Met, 25,432
|
|
to the Ade Bethune CW Homeless shelter, and
|
|
finally 280.43 to the Westerlymystonington
|
|
Art Society in Connecticut.
|
|
With what was left I bought a Trek Antelope
|
|
mountain bike, a '76 Volkswagen Microbus, a Gibson
|
|
LGO, an SG, an Epipone Caballero, 23 packs of
|
|
guitar strings, a blank book journal, a hundred
|
|
fifty copies of my album to sell along the way
|
|
and about 6 months worth of gas and oil money.
|
|
At which time I wandered about from Taos New
|
|
Mexico clear up to Moorehead, Minnesota for a
|
|
couple years singing songs about the broken
|
|
heartland to any small collective who would
|
|
hear them for about a breakeven price. Sometimes
|
|
free.

LETTUCE -
|
|
|
|
I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.,
|
|
but I just returned from a 30 day family vacation
|
|
and found your e-mail waiting for me. I'm not sure
|
|
I can answer all of your questions but they can
|
|
probably be found at this link. As for the female
|
|
version of Viagra it is called Vitacreme and yes
|
|
it is the same stuff that Oprah was raving about.
|
|
Here is their link. For all the free samples, I
|
|
suggest you try this link. I hope I answered all
|
|
of your questions.
|
|
|
|
Stay well and God bless -

Hello,

|
My name is Kim Wilson. I work for Entertainment Database.
|
|
We would like to offer you a trade. We would enjoy trading
|
|
banners with your website or we'd be willing to give you a
|
|
free copy of our 2002 Independent Arist Database that has
|
|
over 30,0000 musician, band, and artist e-mail addresses in
|
|
exchange for our banner attached to be placed on your website.
|
|
Please contact me back if you're interested in trading either
|
|
of the above for advertising space. We would enjoy networking
|
|
with your website and believe that we could both gain from such
|
|
a transaction. If you want to just trade banners please e-mail
|
|
me at this address your banner and your link to which you want
|
|
it directed and also the page where our banner is located on
|
|
your website. If you want to trade for our Artist Database
|
|
simply let me know where our baner is on your website and I'll
|
|
send you the database asap. Thank you for consider this proposal.

The Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography

ATI Announces 2 new things!
|
|
|
|
Ready?
|
|
Next week, brace yourself. Newest issue will be
|
|
composed from a brand new (well, used, but new
|
|
to me, eh?) early pentium laptop. Should we use
|
|
word? wordpad? notepad? edit? We'll cross that
|
|
bridge when we get there.
|
|
|
|
And secondly, a new feature each week.
|
|
|
|
Titled "Live From Dahmer's House."
|
|
We'll walk up the street over to where Dahmer
|
|
used to live, and sit on the sidewalk in front,
|
|
and break out a notebook, and write a few notes
|
|
about non-violence.

...yeah, and how come they closed off port 79?
|
|
|
|
What do you mean, what's 79?
|
|
|
|
I got pages to pull down at 79 all the time.
|
|
|
|
Oh, you mean like 8079 or something?
|

I just type in 79.

You're talking to a sysadmin there, dork.
|

Never mind...
|
|
|
|
Wait, I'll tell you what happened without even lookin' over
|
|
logs or anything. I bet I know. You were sitting there hitting
|
|
this "port 79" and a techie goes "wtf is this dweeb doing in
|
|
port 79???" "what's it even do?" "dunno," "can't be good havin'
|
|
him here." "nuke it." But he prolly goes into IRC first and
|
|
says "anyone here in port 79?" "not me..." etc., then someone
|
|
says, "what's port 79 do anyhow?" "no clue." "can't be good
|
|
havin' him there," "that's what I was thinkin," "nuke him..."
|
|
But wait there's more, he prolly went to www-tech list and
|
|
put out a quick note, "anyone using port 79 for something
|
|
necessary, speak up quick or forever hold your winsock"
|
|
|
|
And then your ip addy was prolly offed to it.
|
|

-----
|

I wake up from this all-too-real dream in a hurry to jump
|

on the net long before the obligatory first cup of coffee

the political climate. Where do you turn for comfort

and strength at a time like this?

Phil, 52: During a typical work day, I'm in e-mail
|
|
contact with so many colleagues around the world that
|
|
it's easy to completely miss the people I share my
|
|
office with, and to blank out the world situation.
|
|
Ironic, isn't it? Just when you're accomplishing
|
|
so much by your efforts, you can be "removed from
|
|
reality," as Blumhardt puts it. It took my wife to
|
|
point out this quote to me.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps the greatest danger that threatens us comes
|
|
from being overly involved in the small, ordinary
|
|
happenings of daily life - from becoming so enslaved
|
|
by them that they fill our heart and soul. To go about
|
|
life in this way is to go about unprotected, unaware,
|
|
distracted, and removed from reality. Let us never
|
|
allow ourselves to be dragged down by pettiness, or
|
|
to take the things of this earth so seriously that
|
|
they burden us day after day. Let us live constantly
|
|
in the Promise.
|
|
--Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
|

|
|
One of the greatest risks in taking up arms against
|
|
evil is to mistake the battle for something that
|
|
must be fought on a human level, between opposing
|
|
camps of "good" people and "evil" ones.
|
|
It is tempting to carry out the fight in others rather
|
|
than in ourselves. Horrified at the state of the world
|
|
or at other people's lives, we may become filled with
|
|
righteous (if not self-righteous) zeal. But rather
|
|
than winning others over to a new life, or finding
|
|
their hearts, we may end up distancing ourselves from
|
|
them. As Gandhi once advised, "If you hate injustice,
|
|
tyranny,lust and greed, hate these things in yourself."
|
|
The battle must be waged in our own hearts first.
|

Tracy, 15: I'm a sophomore in high school. Looking
|
|
through my journal, at the pages of anxious scrawl
|
|
I wrote on September 11, 2001, I discovered a quote
|
|
I'd jotted down from The Brothers Karamazov. That
|
|
quote meant everything to me. I didn't know if I'd
|
|
ever see another sunrise. I still don't. Tomorrow,
|
|
next week, next year don't count. Neither do my
|
|
plans for college or the vocation I choose. All that
|
|
matters is now, and the people around me today.

Wanda, 49: The following lines by William Blake
|
|
remind me how love can be found in the most unexpected
|
|
places - even where there is great suffering and sorrow.
|
|
|
|
Seek love in the Pity of other's Woe
|
|
In the gentle relief of another's care
|
|
In the darkness of night and winter's snow,
|
|
In the naked and outcast. Seek love there!

Dana, 48: I can still remember when I first read
|
|
this quote, in the public library at Peekskill NY,
|
|
in 1976. It was a decisive moment for me: to
|
|
recognize that the line between good and evil does
|
|
not follow political, social, or economic
|
|
classifications; neither is anyone wholly good, or
|
|
wholly unregenerate: each of us must contend with
|
|
walking the knife edge.
|
|
|
|
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously
|
|
committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to
|
|
separate them from the rest of us and destroy them!
|
|
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the
|
|
heart of every human being. And who is willing to de-
|
|
stroy a piece of his own heart?
|
|
--Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

|
|
|
|
Never burden yourselves by looking far ahead;
|
|
always live one day at a time. If you can do this,
|
|
you will live like children, birds, and flowers - for
|
|
them, each day is a lifetime. Every day, new joy and
|
|
hope unfolds, even if every day also brings you new
|
|
shadows and new nightfall. Every day you may break
|
|
down in guilt and failure; every day may show you a
|
|
thousand times over how helpless you are. Yet each
|
|
new day brings new sun, new air, and new grace.

The Ice Cream Manifesto.
|
|
By: Steve S
|
|
|
|
This is my poor excuse for publicizing my frustration
|
|
in a metaphoric kind of sense. I want to start with
|
|
saying that I am a huge hypocrite and this is just
|
|
an ideal that I think is kind of appealing.
|
|
|
|
I am finding my self-getting more and more fed up
|
|
with quicker, easier, and more expensive then its
|
|
predecessor way of life. The super sizing, T.V. dinner
|
|
kind of western civilization that is engineering their
|
|
way into making it easier for you to cram more stuff
|
|
into your busy, family forgetting life style.
|
|
|
|
I saw a commercial for a cell phone the other day.
|
|
It had the coach of the green bay packers promoting
|
|
how he hated to be disturbed when enjoying the great
|
|
outdoors. I thought; oh . . .this is wonderful, what
|
|
a great ad- campaign for a phone company. Expressing
|
|
compassion for the loss of what they stripped away.
|
|
And then I noticed, I quit imagining and realized
|
|
that he was promoting the "text messaging" feature
|
|
on his cellar phone. I was sick. Devastated.
|
|
Acknowledging that it was only going to get worse
|
|
after this. They will only twist the social knife
|
|
till the only time that I can get away from them
|
|
is when I finally move to the moon where sooner
|
|
or later I will be able to enjoy a Starbucks coffee.
|
|
|
|
It is the natural progression. Vanilla, to chocolate,
|
|
to swirl, there is always a bigger and better, a rocky
|
|
road, a bubble gum, 31 flavors that are all a little too
|
|
over-board but you will be sick of them next week when
|
|
we come out with something new and when you get sick of
|
|
those we will add more nuts, bigger marshmallows, sweeter
|
|
mind wash that will move so quick you won't have time to
|
|
stop and think that . . . Zen is in simplicity, not in an
|
|
extra value meal. That peace of mind isn't going to roam
|
|
into your palm pilot, it is not going to microwave itself
|
|
into your agenda.
|
|
|
|
I was grocery shopping with my wife and bought some haagan
|
|
daz vanilla ice cream. I thought, man . . .this is phenomenal.
|
|
This is the best ice cream I have ever eaten. This is it.
|
|
Nirvana. The first thing that popped into my mind was how
|
|
fantastic this would be with some stuff in it. And then it
|
|
hit me. How disgusting am I that I can't enjoy the purity
|
|
of the un-carved block. Why would I need to pervert this
|
|
simplistic perfection? Why would I need to manipulate, to
|
|
twist and harness this already ideal thing. Because I think
|
|
like an American. Because I am born and bred by television,
|
|
pop culture and a natural progression that I call the ice
|
|
cream manifesto.
