Nah, I meant, I'm going to kill a tree and print it out and share it with a couple people that actually don't even use computers. I actually don't send things of that nature by email, oddly enough. It goes against the grain. :) Marc

What - you don't actually mean you know people in a real community? Dear god - that's unnatural. Next you'll be telling us you have a life.

When one has a child, one is occasionally forced to interact (you know, I can't type that word with a 't' at the end anymore) with people in the flesh. ;P Marc

I have two. I find that a surly demeanour and occassionally biting the head off one of the other parents helps me to maintain my reputation of approachable friendliness. Hey - I'm just as nice in real life as I am here.

And the circle gets smaller and smaller, until one day, you realize you're the only one left in the room, and you can't get out.
Dividing Words.... (March 2001) When I was young and full of life My family showed me a city full And forests filled with life too The world was a very large place With so very many people in it And I cheered for the knowledge. But when I entered school Through the jeers and names and snide comments on my size I heard near every day... I learned that I was different And the world grew smaller And I cried for the knowledge. At sixteen years of life grown While visiting one of my friends His sister brought a boy home One that was unacceptable For he was more like me than them On that day I learned my friend was black And the world grew smaller And I cried for the knowledge. At nineteen at a university I heard a speech of fire and brimstone The words stung full of pain Calling married people sinners Without noticing the rings. Until the words turned on me For "socializing" with "others" I was damned for all time.... The words he called my friends. They stung like undying wasps And the pain did not end When the words were done. Until that day I never noticed The slant of an eye or What a turban meant. And the world grew smaller And I cried for the knowledge. At twenty I tried to describe a sound The echo of a helicopter in flight So majestic, so calm, so even The gentle "Thwop" of the blades As they cut the air to defy gravity But my teacher, whom I admired, Heard another word.... He was second generation American But born of Italian blood. I had not even known of that... "Word"... until that day. And the word hurt me Because he thought I said it. And the world grew smaller And I cried for the knowledge. ...
Wow, very nice. I've always admired people who can capture their emotions and thoughts in an eloquent manner.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - -Lazarus Long

I am nicer. Though my team would disagree. To them I am an aging sour puss with a personal grudge against mutexes. :laugh:

Nope - I've finally figured it out. I know where this is. If only I knew how to find my way there. Perhaps you could help me[^] - Is this the way to Amarillo. Show me the way to Amarillo. I've been weeping like a willow, crying over Amarillo. Now - try to get that song out of your head. It's not going to happen.
