ambar (Jean Marie Diaz):
He tuned his thoughts to electronic
Circuitry. This soothed his mind.
He left irregular (moronic)
Sentimentality behind.
He thought of or-gates and of and-gates,
Of ROMs, of nor-gates, and of nand-gates,
Of nanoseconds, megabytes,
And bits and nibbles . . . but as flights
Of silhouetted birds move cawing
Across the pine-serrated sky,
Dragged from his cove, not knowing why,
He feels an urgent riptide drawing
Him far out, where, caught in the kelp
Of loneliness, he cries for help.
_The Golden Gate_, section 1.2
Vikram Seth

dachurch (Douglas A. Church):
Noone feeling, we are strange strange strange strangers
When I look, into your eyes, just when I look, into your eyes
Just walk dont talk, just walk dont talk
And lets go on from place to place
As long as we dont talk, we're face to face
- "Strangers", Clan of XYMOX, _XYMOX_

prophet (Subrata K Sircar):
Plan, Plan, Plan ... what is the plan?
Milano cookies, bridge, and hoop (not necessarily in that order...)
To spend more time with certain people (you know who you are...)
To deal with what I must, ignore what I should, and enjoy the rest (and
figure out how the hell to tell the difference...)
To answer the questions on Ferro's door...

"To seek the sacred river Alph/To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honeydew/And drink the milk of Paradise..." - Coleridge
"So many thoughts in my head/So many places to be
So many faces that I long to see

Take my advice go straight and settle down
Slow down you're movin' too fast/You seem afraid it won't last
Go to the islands and forget it all...'" - Styx

wchuang (William Chuang):
I guess I had a good time tonight; that is, from six to one in the
morning. Harvard-Yale game is tomorrow, which is probably when you'll
be reading this. Now, the question is, should I have let that girl
set me up with this other girl back on the West Coast?
Now what was that quote? From King Lear? Something about knowing
that this can't be the worst if you think it's the worst? Who knows?
What am I talking about anyway?
I don't know if I'm pulling out of it. Maybe right now I'm just too
dislocated; limbo, yeah that's right, that's what it must be. I don't
think I'm pulling out of it. Where am I? (ever hear this one before?
name the movie, Rob)

What sucks? Life, did you say?
