therese (Therese):
Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.
People.
People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your
life. Touch it with love and carelessness and move on.
There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief
and wonder why you ever came into contact with them.
There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse
and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole.
Children leave parents; friends leave friends, acquaintances
grow apart.
Enemies hate and move on.
Friends love and move on.
You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory.
You look on those present and wonder.
I believe in God's master plan in life. He moves people in and
out of each other's lives, and each leaves his mark on the
other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who
ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you
would be less if they had not touched you.
Pray to God that you accept the bits and pieces, in humility and
wonder, and never question and never regret.
Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.
- L. Channey

Sorry, Sal. Is this better?

_teehee_, by 3814
anger anger anger clutch tense tight pain lock cramp constrict crack cry
wave comes, cold, from my should down, triggered by the wind
Pain, as I crack my head against the cement. stop
anger rages burns pulls, and then leaves.
cold comes over spreading out from my shoulder, across my chest, legs.
I can no longer feel my fingers.
rage burns, tight, fast, fleeting
senses come, from the cold.
the feel of rock and concrete.
the growing wind, mindful of the gale.
the smell of nothing, nowhere, tint of smoke and ozone and pain.
eyes see glare, symmetric stars from the lights. Eight points, not seven.
eyes burn, behind.
squeeze tight hold in rage burns.
And the wind has no effect.
pain comes, chill.
bumps rise hands shake body shivers wind grows.
And the sounds in the trees grow with.
And then the rain comes.
And then the rain comes.

yoav (Yoav Yerushalmi):
Okay.. so I'm done with classes now, and the summer has hit..
yay!!!
So, I guess people expect stuff to be placed here :-(
(CA is an annoying concept..)
okay.. this is stole from somewhere: (other sections will follow)
Politically Correct UNIX
System VI Release notes
UTILITIES:
"man" pages are now called "person" pages.
Similarly, "hangman" is now the
"person_executed_by_an_oppressive_regime."
To avoid casting aspersions on our feline friends, the "cat" command is
now merely "domestic_quadruped."
To date, there has only been a UNIX command for "yes" - reflecting the
male belief that women always mean yes, even when they say no. To
address this imbalance, System VI adds a "no" command, along with a
"-f[orce]" option which will crash the entire system if the "no" is
ignored.
The bias of the "mail" command is obvious, and it has been replaced by
the more neutral "gendre" command.
The "touch" command has been removed from the standard distribution due
to its inappropriate use by high-level managers.
"compress" has been replaced by the lightweight "feather" command.
Thus, old information (such as that from Dead White European Males)
should be archived via "tar" and "feather".
The "more" command reflects the materialistic philosophy of the Reagan
era. System VI uses the environmentally preferable "less" command.
The biodegradable "KleeNeX" displaces the environmentally unfriendly
"LaTeX".
