alright then, thank you, and all is well, from my end; just please try to be sensitive to the fact that jokes are hard to interpret as such online, especially when you aren't being intentionally pejorative. troy |

I wake up, and this is the first thing I read. What a way to start a morning. Sherri: Yeah, waking up with your eyes feeling weird is not fun. Boyd: Good stuff, it's now quoted in my AIM buddy profile. policehq: If Boyd was "putting down" anyone, I'd say it was the people that follow the crowd for the sake of being in the crowd. Take the crowd away and what are you left with? Personally, I prefer to keep a few close friends, rather than be surrounded by abunch of people I don't know. (exception is message boards). _________________

Hey everyone, sorry this got all whacked out over Boyd's comments. I know him, they were meant to be stupid, and humorous. Marriages don't last because some girl listens to cool music, or because she was, or was not a cheerleader. To be honest, sometimes I think that Boyd and I just got lucky. Either that, or we were young and dumb! (I was 16 when we met!) Actually, we credit God for bringing us together, and making it this 24 years so far. The real thing to look for in a mate is: a best friend. One that enjoys a lot of the same things you do. Whether it be sports, sewing, music, birdwatching, whatever. What is cool? We're all dorks in our own way. I know only one value system that is real, and that is the Creator's and I don't think he uses the jock or cheerleader scale. Boyd was just being silly, and really not thinking he was going to offend anyone. He really started liking me because I made him a chocolate pie! Fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach....that's what my grandmaw always said! |

Post subject: Don't read my novelesque crap. Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2003 6:34 am
hey Troy. thanks for understanding...I guess I got carried away. i think sometimes, I'll dig up some topic that amuses me and i just keep digging, and exploring until I feel like I've created some little, weird "thing" to look at. Sometimes, writing on this forum is the only really creative release I get in a day. In life, I always tell people that I mock myself more than others. I'm no comedian, but I sometimes end up exploiting all that's funny from every slice of culture. It's not very nice. I think I saw Kim posting on this topic. She's probably going to apologize for me. 
High school culture is particularly begging to be ridiculed, don't you think? It's such an isolated, fake world with it's own class structure... labels, systems, events, rules, etc. I guess at my high school, the jocks and cheerleaders pretty much owned the drug/sex/vanity/arrogance turf, so they don't get off any easier than the rockers when it comes to immorality. The good, the bad and the ugly exist in every segment of society. The freaks and nerds tend to be the rejects. I just identify with that crowd more... I was a band nerd. And, as far as sports goes...I guess I have a lot of sympathy for the millions of wives and kids in America who's dad's watch 1000's of hours of NFL every year instead of hanging out with their families or doing something productive. As far as income, careers and families - it helps the stress level to have...though I think with our family, having not has been better. All of our friends are have nots... you learn to depend on others more and life becomes less about yourself. Through all my striving, degrees and endless toiling... I've never achieved or gained anything or been enriched by anything I got or earned. Out of our deepest struggles, have come the most amazing, fruitful opportunities... Having might be something we have to struggle getting used to; it could be a good thing, I don't know yet. Right now, we're still in survival mode. But even in survival mode, if you can buy tires for your friend in a struggling rock band who might otherwise die in a car crash from a blow out because he had a dream that it happened, having a little feels really good. Well guys. I'm entering a zone where I have to pull away from the forum...CD graphics and merch and flocks and goads and reams of work to do for eisley. I will conclude by saying that I think the photo of Chris Carrabba on the cover of Spin looks like a bad attempt at a GQ cover. He looks like he wants to say something....or maybe take a potty break. It's probably not his fault, but it begs to be mocked.

I don't know what I'd be if I hadn't been (and still am in many ways) a have not. I almost don't understand life with. If that makes sense ... But anyway, good luck with the graphics/merch stuff. I'm sure it will be great. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

i think my having and not having fluctuates a lot. i grew up in east texas, most definitely not having, when going to tyler to an actual mall was a BIG deal. and i remember how stuck-up we all thought the ladies with big hair and too much perfume were there. now i live in downtown austin, have an ok job, and probably won't be able to afford the acl fest tix, but i am starting to realize how great it can be to not afford some of the sillier things i've blown money on. and instead i can do something cheap, like camping in the woods. which i hope to do tonight 
i think bastrop has pine woods... _________________ hello. |

Post subject: camping Posted: Sat Sep 13, 2003 12:08 pm
ahhh...camping. as long as there's camping, the have's and have not's don't even matter. makes me jealous....I guess that puts me in the have not category. Sherri was talking about camping just the other day. At a camp site, she can throw gravel all she wants. see...my post is short. _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

I'm jealous as you guys are so near (relatively speaking) to Big Bend National Park...... talk about great camping, esp in the backcountry along the river... ah, the memories  _________________ http://www.livejournal.com/users/timbuktu/ "It is true that we are weak and sick and ugly and quarrelsome, But if that is all we ever were, we would millenniums ago have disappeared from the face of the earth." - John Steinbeck (WRITERS AT WORK, "On Intent") |

Not a bad idea, city life reeks, especially on weekdays going threw traffic. Be nice to go down to Big Bend area, south texas near rio grande river. I herd it was spectacular based on numerous opinions on friends that I know went down there. Or, go camping in the ozarks about 6-7 hour drive near Fayatteville, Ark or Hot Springs, Ark.... beautiful lakes and awesome scenery. Man oh man, does that sound nice.  _________________ "Don't cry because it's over Smile because it happened" |

indeed camping is one of the finest things in life. one good thing about wheaton is they have a campus in the woods about 6 hours away. and the best part is you can go hang out there for a weekend for free. you just sign up and they drive you up and you get to go camping or canoeing or horsebike riding or anything up in the woods of north wisconsin (which are quite marvelously beautiful... its like a colder more rockier version of the piney woods of east texas... there are ferns everywhere i love it with a passion that almost equals my love for texas)... that where i was this weekend and it really sucks not being there now... there are so many buildings and so few trees... 
pity me... you know you want to. |
