Dang Reb...you're hanging me out to dry. That, or I'm in a perpetual freefall. Like the new photo... but like the outpouring even more. |

Ozzy is a shaman now and martyrdom is highly over-rated... And even dogs will not *relieve themselves* where they eat. We continue to profane the sacred and weep that all is lost.  Guess ya KNOW I love this one. (heh...I'll just exit quietly now.) |

enjoyed this in quiet understanding that much good food for thought has hit the disposals and disappeared along with the garbage [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (06-30-2003 01:28 PM).] |

A very good read. And if not a stream of consciousness, a stream nonetheless. |

Rebel....The thoughts, play on words, like being bombarded in a good way with words and meaning, and you want to stop long enough to understand but need to keep on going. Enjoyed! |
