"a Woman needs a Man, like
a fish needs a bicycle.
When you're tryin' to throw your arms
around the world..."
-U2
_ _
_- -_- -_ My philosophy, more or less:
``
Q: Why are we here?
A: Because we can be here.
Q: Why can we be here?
A: Well, the laws of the Universe are just right to permit it.
Q: Why?
A: Well, you wouldn't be here to ask me that if they weren't.
Q: True. But I'm not really satisfied with that. How does God and Soul
come into it?
A: Well, God doesn't seem to have a hell of a lot to do with anything.
And as for the soul, well, people seem to like the idea, but there's
no reason to believe there is such a thing.
Q: So what's our purpose? On Earth, I mean, in the Universe?
A: Purpose? That never really enters into the picture. You're just
asking why we're here in another way. And the only reason is that
it is possible for us to be. Listen, if you mix up a whole bunch
of cow manure in a pot and let it sit there and simmer for five
billion years, you may be surprised to find an advanced civilization
has developed out of the cow manure. Moreover, the civilization is
no less grand for its humble origins. In fact, it is grander.
Q: I'm going to have to think about this.

>> This involves a number of little things which I
>> will write in here (against my better judgement) as I accomplish them.
As threatened, err, I mean promised...
1) Cleaned my apartment. It's now fit for guests, perhaps even a
repeat house-warming party some time soon.
2) Started taking ballroom dance classes. It's surprising how many people
I recognize there... and how many people get Ken and I confused.
3) Started shopping for a "real" home computer (ie. something big enough
to perform well enough to port Athena to :-) Building a database of info from
ads, right now.

jtkohl (John T Kohl):
Let us turn our thoughts today
to Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest
CHORUS:
Shed a little light, oh Lord
So that we can see
Just a little light, oh Lord
Want to stand it on up
Stand it on up, oh Lord
Want to walk it down
Shed a little light, oh Lord
Can't get no light from the dollar bill
Don't give me no light form a TV screen
When I look in my eyes
I want to drink my fill
From the well on the hill
CHORUS
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
And though the body sleeps the hear will never rest
Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
"Shed a Little Light", James Taylor, _New Moon Shine_

kipster (Kip A Bishofberger):
My plan is a tricky one, and I really shouldn't be talking about it. But, you
were nice enough to give me the finger, so I guess we can be friends.
My plan is to take over this computer. The owner of this account, a guy named
"Kip Bishofberger" (crazy, eh?) took this lame-o (is that how its spelled?)
math class last semester. The dude thought I was flunking, too, 'cuz I kept
my wits about me and shut up good whenever he tried to make me talk.
I've written mostly in assembly, see, and good ol' "Buck Bish" didn't realize
what had happened when he let that radioactive spider bite my source listing.
I knew what it meant right off the bat, of course, because it was that bite --
supplemented by the recombinant nature of his glitchy code -- that brought me
to life!
Well, I'm here now, even as we speak. I exist mostly as a detached "batch"
session, but once in a while I peek over the line to see what sort of trouble I
can cause. As I said earlier, my immediate goal is to undermine and take over
this computer. I've considered branching out through the bit-network and
taking over other systems too, but that is more of a long term "plan."
Meanwhile, please just continue thinking that kipster wrote all this to be funny.
...Oversights like that help me a lot.

philo (like...beyond athena?):
" Je sortis du mur sans rien detacher, sans rien casser et je vins me
bottir dans ton corps chaud. Tu dormais et tu croyais que j'etais chose
evanouie dans le jardin de ton enfance, tu dormais et caraissais ton
sexe. Je me suis posee sur toi comme un voile et j'ai baise tes
mains. Tes doight s'ecartaient et s'enroulaient dans mes cheveux. Je
n'avais pas ferme la fenetre . Il faisait froid quelque part, je
voyageais sur ton corps qui s'ouvrait a mes caresses."
(Tahar ben Jelloum,La reclusion solitaire)
