Hey. Chapbook for you. You're in the dedication. I've barely seen you and you're twenty minutes away. Why not? I'll be doing catering, joy of my life, see you then.

chris--don't bottle. it won't work, it never does... and don't let it trickle out, it isn't worth it. if you have something inside you--you have to find your way to scream it out, to kick and scream and yell and smash and break down all of the walls. tear down the wall. break the bottle. the people who don't like loud people are scared of themselves. and there's no need to cater to such individuals. people will like you for who you are, not for who you are going to be. i have only gotten to know you recently, and still not that well. but what drives me to try and know you is the fact that you are interesting and you have things to say--and the only reason that i know that is the fact that you aren't quiet. go stand on a mountain top and bring the gods down from the sky.

Chris, you should read this: http://infinidox.diaryland.com/020528_8.html. Everyone is important in your own way, and when you, I, and everyone else is able to realize this, then we will all be happy.

As far as questions 1,2,4,5,6,7,8...I cannot answer those for you. Those are for you and you alone to discover for yourself. As far as question three goes, I have a suggestion, heed it if you please. I recently picked up a book called "The Tao of Pooh", in which Taoism is essentially explained in plain English through the use of Winnie the Pooh. The back of the book says it all: While Eeyore frets.../...and Piglet hesitates/...and Rabbit calculates/...and Owl pontificates/...Pooh just IS. // And that's a clue to the secret wisdom of the Taoists. // You just need to let things happen by themselves, without interference. Overanalyzing and fretting over things will do nothing but make the situation worse, as I'm sure everyone of us has discovered. Sometimes, you just have to let things be, and know that everything will work out in the end. Which I suppose actually answers your first question. A long one, for sure.

I've just finished watching the same to-be-continued's, and now it's the company in the third. Just wanted to say well done and goodnight. Take care. Be well.

question 1...holy shit i cant decide! I AM LEANING TOWARD SHORT AND FULL OF LIFE!----Question 2....hmm....can't tell you! (I'm a bitch) ... or I could tell you but then I would have to kill you ;) and question 3---something is worth it depending on how much you want it i guess...how far will one go to get it...? I find that in my life a lot of the things I try to do are definitly worth it...Im optimistic and believe that everything in life comes as a benefit to oneself somewhere down the line...me = tired
