Thanks for not just staring blankly at me like the rest of the class. What are you up to this coming weekend? I'll be in Seattle! woo!

I'd totally go to that show if I could afford it. I consider myself a huge fan of all that music. Even if they are all old men with failing skills, I still wanted to go.

I hate being unemployed. I'm also saving for Ani diFranco tix.

I'm with you. But it's a weird kind of funk.

I was visited by a spirit once.... i was very ill and had been ill for months... I was convinced I was going to die... and one night I woke up to someone touching my ankle in my bed... but I didnt jump out of fright I half expected him to be there.... he told me a few things I dont remember (but I know I have them in my mind playing in the background) and then I started asking him questions.. I thought his prescence meant I was dead or about to die... I asked him if I was going to die.. .and he said no... he said he had come to me to tell me because I wouldnt have believed it from anyone else.. .he told me I had a second chance and if I did things right I would meet the love of my life very shortly but I had to change my life... I had to change everything around it.. he kept saying you have been given a second chance.. .you have been given a second chance....

and then he touched my face and i went to sleep.... I woke up the next day in slightly less pain... and I started getting well after that slowly but surely... it still took me 2 months to start walking again properly but I started getting better.... about a week after a full recovery I met adrian.. and we have been together ever since...

I have changed my ways and I am becoming more physically, mentally and spritually stronger..... everything has a plan.... but its made me believe in god after that day....

that same spirit actually chased away this evil bitch I used to live iwth... she was getting ready in my room one morning and he presented himself in the mirror as her reflected image... scared her so much she moved out a week later...

I think he's my guardian angel....

I've had several experiences with different entities. Enough so that I will never put out an open invitation to be contacted by any entity that so chooses. I am very specific about who I will accept contact with.

Wow. There's so much to say about this, but I don't want to go into it here. We'll have to talk about this when we finally meet.

I've had the gearbox and clutch apart about 6 times each (on my '66 triumph). I could do this shit in my sleep now...

I'm checking out your disk brakes there *drool*

whats the deal with your BMW?

I have some ideas about writing a treatment for a fighting game that plays out sort of like an action RPG. An RPG beat-em up if you will, that the cool kids would want to play. I do draw, but I seem to be real stuck with that lately, so when I get out there maybe we can coollaberate on some ideas for a game, eh?

Aah! Nap did wonders, thanks! So now what? What's goin on?

I love the I-Ching! Which translation are you using? I used to write down the questions I asked and the hexagram I came up with. It's interesting to look back and see how I interpreted it.

dude, your pics rule!
great stuff!
and yes, your dad is cooler than mine.

The tats are gonna be "different" to say the least. One thigh I want to be a modified version of The Moon tarot card, but to look, stylistically, like a stained glass window from the Dom Cathedral in Koln. The other thigh will be of a stone foliate head (Greenman) with plants growing out of cracks in the stone. The plants will look like something out of a William Morris tapestry. There's more, I mean, I'm gonna have my calves done as well, and I have a lot of specific details I want, but that's basically what I'm going for. It's gonna be a lot of work and a lot of $$$, but it will be worth it.
