Fair 'nuff. So, what form of love are you referring to? There are... lots.

Shog9 to my mistakes, to my mistakes of cowardice she shimmy shakes, the jimmy jakes of consequence born of the airs and dues, my airs of madness do declare that it's ok, it's love it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be for what you needed to need, she'll make it up love, it's who you know machine gun blues, her vacant rush is so steel i'm unaware, lost inside your visions i got mine too over, i got mine and i got you cause i know you, you're love it's what you wanted to see, it's who you wanted to be for what you needed to need, she'll make it up love, it's who you know can i look up to you as you look down on me can i feel in to you as you felt in to me i can't help what you see, i can't help but to be for what i needed to need, she'll make it love, it's who you know

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

zero-sum meaning that the sum of the 'value' that both players win is constant (for convenience set it at zero). ie. when one player wins something it's because the other player loses something. checkers is a zero-sum game, while monopoly isn't. Martin: you're attitude towards an activity will often determine what you get out of that activity. cheers, Chris Maunder

Ok, here's another piece of advice. Yeah, we all get moody at times. I do; you do; we all do. But, you have to cheer up eventually. Dude, if you are trying to mack on a chick, you can't be all sour to some girl you just met. You'll run her away quicker than lightening. Think about it. Do you want to feel like crap? No! Neither does some chick. And, if you show up feeling crappy, she might have sympathy, but she won't wanna fuck your brains out. Yeah it's easier said than done to feel good. Yeah sometimes it helps to just unload. All, I'm saying is at least try to look at the upside to things. Now, it's Saturday. Go, get off your duff, be "the" man, go impress a chick, get laid, and tell us about it on Monday. Then, maybe we can start exchanging stories and see if Chris will create a special board for us to tell them. :) Jeremy Falcon Imputek "C# is the answer to a question nobody asked." - Chris Losinger
