  Yeah to be honest I completely forgot about working on trying to get into
that habit again after the first night.  Which sucks, because I've got a few
library books here, that manuscript from my mom, and a few others on a queue
that I can't dissuade my roommate from putting together for me.

  He's had a lot of it.  The kid is ahead of his time, but I think we all know
some of the losses that all too often accompany that.

  It was that first night.  Then the manuscript disappeared into the
disorganization here.  I'm gonna try to get another shot at it tonight after I
finish up this email and make sure that it's laying out somewhere where I can
see it before I crash out tonight.  ;)

  Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me...  Basically what my
tattoo about relationships says, though its third clause makes the pyre
optional.

  It's a damn shame people can't just find the ones that help them to be the
best, most peaceful and accepting people that they can, and stop giving a crap
about the systems that are working for each other.  ;)  My own belief system is
that a lot of those systems are used for manipulation too much for that to be
possible, but a man can dream.  Soooo much wasted on warfare that we could feed
the world HOW many times over?
