capsalad (Dave Schulman):
Every year is the same
And I feel it again
I'm a loser
No chance to win
Leaves are falling
Come down is calling
Loneliness starts sinking in
But I'm one
I am one
And I can see
That this is me
And I will be
You'll all see
I'm the one
-- from "I'm One" off Quadrophenia
The Who

celine (Adam Weishaupt):
If nothing matters, why do anything?
This is an interesting question. People often automatically
associate lack of significance in life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):
He wants a shoehorn
The kind with teeth
People should get beat up for stating their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn
The kind with teeth
Cause he knows there's no such thing

edyamp (Ed Yampratoom):
A Philologist's Prayer:
Our teacher who art in English,
Proper be Thy Noun;
Thy Adverb come,
Thy Will (and Shall) be done
In Pronouns as in Interjections.
Give us this day our Passive Verb
And forgive our Prepositions,
As we Decline those who Conjugate against us.
And lead us not into Conjunctions,
But deliver us from Adjectives,
For Thine is the Comma,
And the Period,
And the Colon, forever.
Amen.

rosencra (John R Buck):
Poet's don't go mad. Chess players do.
Poetry floats easily on the infinite sea. It is reason
that tries to cross the infinite sea, and thus make
it finite. The result is exhaustion.
The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. The
logician attempts to get the heavens into his head, and it
is his head that splits.
_Orthodoxy_, by G. K. Chesterton

srz (Stanley R Zanarotti):
{\it Discuss} has found ever-increasing popularity since its initial
implementation in Fall 1986. Its user community has grown
from a core set of SIPB members to more than 120 MIT students and staff.
The number of meetings has grown from a few test meetings on a couple machines
to 116 meetings on eight server machines.

tripleh (Henry H Houh):
I don't know!

wchuang (William Chuang):
So, I finally decide to drop Psychology. Shit. What a simple course
that I just should have spent more time on. Dropping. What an
unusual action. Feels so weird. I don't know whether I should be
angry at myself or happy that I'm not getting a bad grade.
Life sucks.
***********
Rob, I was the one who wrote into your .plan file. Don't ask me how,
I'm not quite sure.
***********
I'd like to go and see new things, but that which occupies my waking
and sleeping mind ties me down. *grip*, dammit!
Life sucks... how many times have I said this and been completely
right? Let me count the ways...
