Mr. Phoenix rising.. I'm sorry. For you. you would have been better off fighting off competition in a masters degree program somewhere.. and there is no guarantee of success.. anywhere.. your bachelors.. isn't worth a crap in the new environment.. maybe that is all I should say.. kids from other countries would have you for lunch.. Yeah.. they might have me as well. I hope the meal is nutritious..

*he* reads here.. don't ask me how I know.. I just know.. so.. how are you going to explain it.. when your followers.. start. 1. breaking bones. Yes, it's happened already. How do I know? Well.. I'm da Squirrel. See all, know all and all of that.. 2. arriving late. to da appointment.. i.e. the gweatest experience of da worodagawd.. no greatness here. It's happened before.. 3. Rapes, fondeling and pillages.. if not now, they are to come. How do you reconcile that with a *perfect* standing? we'll see..

I'd say government is worse.. but no. I couldn't believe it.. last year I got a letter from the IRS. No, it wasn't an audit.. THEY were chasing ME down trying to give me a refund.. no frigging joke.. cmon, way international.. aren't you every bit BETTER than some godless government entity?

and just why is it that I'd agree..

and like another Bridge to Nowhere.. they aren't giving any money back.

reminds me of a time in the old testament.. the Eunuchs hanging around that place need to reclaim it..

Part 2:

and why is it, some think it is ALWAYS the right thing to do.. to forgive a debt.. debt seems to revolve around "community". *they* don't think they are *community* anymore.. does that make it so? They have made themselves "rich in this world".. I'd consider that section of scripture along with the others about supposed forgiveness.. but then they've proven they are not "brethren". Forgive them? Technically, I don't see the biblical mandate applying here.. it's just a thought. Take it as you will..

maybe you should have left it at that.. I think your post is typical of way black and white thinking. If one shuts their mouth, they are meek or humble or something.. if one speaks up about ungodliness, they are bitter.. one or the other.. sixty some years old? Kinda old for one dimensional thinking, wouldn't you think?

lyrics for part one:

I shouldn't listen to this stuff.. but I can't help myself. Moth to a flame..

A lot of the songs seem almost to me.. like mourning for the death of a loved one.. I understand that as a musician he was brilliant.. at least that seems to be the story.. then one day he's gone. But he isn't.. Is he still there, or isn't he.. kind of like a divorce.. yeah, still there in memory..

Yep, so much nicer, run by an little old lady(?)

Posted on another thread. But I had to put it here for you music lovers..

heh.. well, maybe the question should be.. when hq is gone, who is going to turn out the lights? da mrs is gone. Not going to be her..

maybe.. people have figured out that's the agreement they've made with this existence.. to deal with Sunday (afternoon fellowhip) obligations.. (false way or such, the label doesn't make any difference) ministers in pulpits (in front of herr vey validated lecterns) and the like.. people generally seem to tolerate religion, way brand, and otherwise.. well, it's just a thought. and let's not mention the tolerance of *pretenders* to da throne..

I dunno.. if it would just "roll away".. that would be one thing... sowie.. Must just not be "available" or something..

His version is every bit as wonderful.. Yeah.. I know he wrote it.. Just curious how Jones ended up with it..

and you can't hate the light.. or can't you. it's a love/hate relationship.. or is it.. well.. if the funny bus pulled up here.. I'd abandon everything in a moment.. Norah Jones sung this.. "I always take the long way home.." You know she's a God-daughter of the Beatles, don't you? :)

HA! No, that's not Blues.. that's just a complaining.. The Light has to break your heart, before you can sing the blues..

I dunno. wandering around.. not having a clue in the world who or what I am or could care less.. doesn't have it's lack of attractions or something.. It would be the ultimate holiday.. a "home away from home".. It's not that scary of a place.. we came from it to begin with..

:) Perhaps we all do, from time to time..

Hey.. all old acid heads eventually end up singing the blues.. why is it though.. I keep revisiting my origins..

I dunno.. I was thinking more of something like an acid test..
