Of course I miss my pet goat Eric.

I like it, Eric! I changed mine to a beautiful sunset. There's little that is more spectacular than an oceanic sunset.

Well, now that you've found it, you can be helpful in keeping it alive. :2hands: That is certainly a mental image I can go without.

Happy birthday, Robert! I hope it's the best one yet! Have a good one, my friend!

I think it's discrimination. This is something in which we need to fight, because it is unacceptable.

That's because of his obsession with evil cliffhangers.

Well, if he's close to the Canadian border, it will be interesting to find out if the Canadians will let him cross. They may hold him at the border as the did the family Phelps.

We all have our vices. Both of those can be expensive. I guess you're tapped for the money we need to forward to the Cayman Island account.

There are casinos here in Miami, Oklahoma. I could spend some money.

We must keep this thread going strong. I don't have the money for the Cayman Island account.

That phrase was mysteriously added to my signature.

Well, if you and Kevin post a lot in here, we will be just fine! Graeme can help too. Beyond that, I cannot think of any postwhores except CJ himself, and I don't want him to post here yet. Added: 225 until 750 and 475 until 1,000! I know we can do it!

That was a joke.

Well, I doubt we could reach 1,000 before he posts. We can give it a try. Let's aim for 750 and go from there! Then again, we could also see if I reach 5,000 posts before CJ posts in here again. As for 3 for Jake, I have not read the short story yet. That might be a project for Sunday. Psst... we need a moderator to pin the thread.

You should spend $0 on the drugs. You don't need them. Beyond that, I agree with Kevin.

Either that or they emulate and provide the drug for others.

Si Volvieras a Mi by Josh Groban Como sobrevivir Como calmar mi sed Como seguir sin ti Como saltar sin red Con ese adios tan salvaje y cruel Me desojaste la piel La eternidad en final se quedo Y un desierto es mi corazon Ay si volvieras a mi Encenderia el sol mil primaveras Si regresaras por mi Seria un milagro cada beso que me dieras Pero hoy te vas Y no hay vuelta atraz Que habra despues de ti? Mas que estas lagrimas Si hasta la lluvia en el jardin Toca musica sin fin Sombria y tragica Hoy de rodillas le pido a Dios Que por el bien de los dos Algo en tu pecho se quiebre al oir a Este loco que se muere de amor Ay si volvieras a mi Encenderia el sol mil primaveras Si regresaras por mi Seria un milagro cada vez que me vieras Pero hoy te vas Y no hay vuelta atraz Y desataste un huracan, Fuego y furia de un volcan Que no se apagar Como olvido que fui Esclavo de ti Ya no puedo mas Ay si volvieras mi vida ay si volvieras Si regresaras por mi seria feliz otra vez Pero hoy te vas Y no hay vuelta atraz If You Would Return to Me (ENGLISH TRANSLATION) How to survive How to calm my thirst How can I continue without you How can I jump without a net [to catch me] With that farewell so wild and cruel You hurt me to the core I remain stuck in time And my heart is a desert Oh if you would come back to me The sun moves through 1000 spring times If you returned to me It would be miracle with each kiss you give me But today you

Sometimes my mind gives me a desirable scenario. My heart wants it even more. My brain says, "Maybe it's not such a good thing after all." My heart says, "Don't give up." What if everything turns out well, and I end up with what I want? My dreams and aspirations could reach fruition, but it's unlikely. I just wish it would stop so that I can get back to not wondering anymore and just stop the "What ifs" of my heart. I suppose it has to do with what I want more than anything as revealed in two recent poems, "Where is He?" and "Broken Roads", the latter being about how they lead to nowhere. Somehow I know if certain circumstances were different, I could have what I want, so that just makes it that much more painful. I just wonder if the entire cosmic balance of the universe is against me, because I have so much to offer, so much love and passion to give, but alas it must not be meant to be, so I suffer forever more. I'm going to steal my own line. "Where is he, the one who will never leave my side and will cherish me forever?" Maybe he doesn't exist.

I think you make some good points. Like me, you are naturally cynical.

Happy birthday, Drew! Enjoy!

I'm ticklish in places, but I shall not reveal my weak spots.

I know there are better ways, but it's just a matter of figuring them all out and controlling impulses. As far as that being the meaning of life, I don't really think so. I like to be philosophical, but I tend to avoid "the meaning of life". I believe life is too complicated to narrow down to a statement. I just have to remember to control myself and vent my frustration in other ways. We often hurt the people we love. Later we feel guilty and want to make amends, at least that is my experience.

You two, as well as dkstories, are responsible for the Sith Apprentice of Evil Cliffhangers.

Kevin, I understand your point of view, but I think you're being overly cynical about it. It tells me that you probably have some issues with trust. The whole sex without a condom thing is definitely not something to do with just anyone, and when you do, you do so with two understandings. The first is that you have a deep level of trust with your partner. The other is that in the event that something does go wrong you will have to live with a change in HIV status. That is scary for sure, but it happens. We know we are at higher risk of HIV infection. That goes with the territory of being gay. Still, there ARE benefits if you are with the right man, one with whom you feel that you can have a lifetime commitment and one that you trust with your life. I hope that someday you find that just as I believe we all deserve. That's just some food for thought. Tim (Playing Sacha's usual role of "The Devil's Advocate")

This is my new themesong. Sorry, I guess there's some kind of problem with embedding. I have no idea why. This is my new theme song, "One Step at a Time".
