SUPERFICIALALITY IS A BITCH...
I want to write books. I want to write about the South, about family, about
wildlife. I want to commune with nature--on a daily basis. I want to take
pictures, to fish, to hunt, to enjoy simple pleasures without worry. I want
to make sure the little things in life always matter. I want to be happy. I
think money is an obsession of which we don't necessarily need a lot. We need
enough to make us happy--that is all.
I want to get into politics at some point. I want to start on a local level
and work my way up. How far? Well, does anybody ever know the answer to that
question? As far as I find that ride to be enjoyable. That's what it'a all
about. That's how everything should be: ride it out as far and as so long
as it is enjoyable.
Well, I want to do a lot. The most important of these is to make a difference.
Making a difference to someone or something is the ultimate success.
YOU'LL MAKE IT NOWHERE WITHOUT KILLER GOALS.
only that day dawns to which we are awake.
walker, there are no roads,
only wind trails on the sea...
PEACE,
BENNER

nosaj (Jason M Sachs):
So we left the Metro (swish, and the door opens; bing-bong!, and
you're supposed to step out so the doors don't cut you in half; swish,
they close; whoosh, the train leaves, unless you've been cut in half;
fting!, you stick the Farecard in the slot; grunt, the yellow
pie-slice things slide away; grunt, they slide back after you walked
through---I haven't gotten caught in them, so far---and you're home
free if you can make it up the escalator without giving in to the urge
to slide down the sheets of metal between the escalators. They've
stuck these little metal hockey pucks there, every couple of feet, so
you're supposed to somehow believe that This Is Not A Slide, even
though anybody who's been to a playground as a kid knows that the
exact opposite is true: the world's best slides have been secretly
disguised as the space between subway escalators---hee, hee! go see
the one at Dupont Circle!---and the hockey puck things probably get
removed so that heads of state can use them when they're visiting and
land on a strategically-located futon. If you're not a head of state,
though, they leave the hockey puck things there to slow you down
(wheee... thwap! wheee... thwap! wheee....) in case you're crazy
enough to try, and also to cause you a lot of pain so you don't do it
again.) er... what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, we left the Metro....

which I'm almost done writing.

plot, whatsoever.)

Military Science
The U.S. Army transferred Sergeant Major Jimmy A. Powell from his ROTC
duties at Northern Michigan University after he bit the head off a live
chicken and drank the bird's blood during a military-science class.
Powell's commanding officer said that such actions were appropriate for
field survival training but not for the classroom.
