Yeah. Not that wasn't a good book or anything: it was very well-written. I just don't get the hype. It was just another conspiracy theory, and a far fetched one at that. I mean really, the Little Mermaid had red hair as a reference to the divine feminine? Never heard of design?

I just finished up reading Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose. I'm not one to read books but I highly recommend this to everyone. The book is about Easy Company. 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne. The books tells their story from when Easy Company was first formed, when they trained, when they fought in Normandy, Holland and Bastogne and when they captured Hitlers Eagle's Nest.

Its a very fine read.
Professional Canadian.

Caleb Williams :cuss:

The damn thing put me to sleep in the comfy reading room in the library. Three hours of deep deep sleep punctuated by dreams of cartoon pigs with magic trees and swimming pools in their houses. Fucking Godwin.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I'd just like to point out that I saw the title of this thread and thought it said, "What are you, retarded?" And then I giggled. And then I read it again. And then I felt stupid.

OVIDIUS.

In Graecia patres matresque dona pro filiis receptis ferunt, sed abest Aeson, qui iam morti vicinus est atqye defessus multis annis. Tum sic ait Aesonides: "O coniunx, cui me salutem debere confiteor, si hoc facere possunt carmina tua (quid enim non possunt?), aufer a meis annis et annos ablatos adde parenti." Nec retinuit lacrimas. Medea pietate rogantis mota est et "Putasne ergo" inquit, "me spatium vitae tuae transmittere posse? Ne hoc Hecate permittat! Aequa non shoot me now."

i just finished reading Age of Spiritual Machines by Ray Kurzweil creepy but at the same time exeptionally cool. I'm trying to dive into poetry headfirst now and am now reading Leaves of Grass by Whitman. It's really starting to convince me that my body is a super-sexy hunk of lovin'.
And I say to any man or woman, Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
