hello sinisters! sounds like you all are doing quite well. thats good. i'm well too. my life is basically very nice. i have a lovely family, a beautiful woman who loves me, loads of ace cd's to listen to, a few extra bucks for a 40oz bottle of refreshment, and some tasty couscous ready to eat at home. so yeah, its all cherry. and it sounds like all you UK folk will soon be having a bit of a treasure hunt! that will be fun.......it reminds me of "willy wonka and the chocolate factory" and the contest to see who can find the golden tickets. i love that film. i've been listening to "beautiful" alot today, and its got me in a sort of melancholic-sentimental mood. and that of course is not a bad thing, its a mood i quite like at times. sometimes it feels good to hear a song like that. suddenly i'm catapulted back through time to my junior high school years. i got pushed around and threatened at school all day and i would come home and cry into my pillow and listen to morrissey whilst reading those biblical scriptures about God comforting those crushed in spirit. and even then, i sort of looked at the whole situation from outside myself, and i realized that it was quite a lovely, sad picture. i realized that i was just playing that particular part in the film of life, and that soon i'd play a different role. fastforward 10 years and i'm here, in an office 10 stories up, staring at a screen, writing my feelings out to over 1500 people, most of whom know nothing of me. mind you, i am NOT feeling crushed in spirit at all, just a tad reflective. yeah......its good to reflect sometimes. ---caleb ben ===== "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." ~Plato "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
