A la, sounds like a great time. :)--> ... nice. Dance toonz - I wrote the song. The percussion are from samples I used to build 2 drum tracks using "Acid" loop software. The woman's voice, "poink" sounds at the beginning, "flute" call at the start, and crowd sounds are samples also, from "Acid" loops. The rest of the bass and guitars are me, recorded on my deck. The swooping squeedle effect is just me banging on the guitar and messing with the sound of it. I think there's maybe 6 guitar tracks total - one bass guitar, plus an assortment of 6 strings. I wrote the basic idea to start with on guitar, and then found and assembled the Acid drum and sound effect tracks on a pc and then imported them to my deck. Then I added the guitar and bass tracks on top of it directly on the deck. It went through several versions while I mixed it and tweaked it. So it's like, me and my little digital band. :D--> Glad you are enjoying it! The love is shared with all!

Liar typos aren't really the issue. I love typos. Embrace them. Cares them. See? :)--> There are two issues I see immediately in regards to how you present your views as you have - accuracy, reliablity and integrity. Typos reflect on them. Assuming you're serious, and I will, you invite people to fly to your city and meet with you for a witnessed and taped dicussion of important and serious matters in regards to VPW, the Way and apparently much more. First - integrity and reliablity. I have no idea who you are or what validates your opinions, ideas and information. You haven't stated that. Put as a question - "what makes you a worthwhile candidate for such an investment of time and money?" What do you have to offer? Integrity hasn't been established, in the sense of the makeup and quality of what you have to offer. Neither has reliability. How reliable a source are you? While your offer is very aggressive it could be a complete waste of time if you're a bad source of information, worse still if you're just a well-meaning idiot who really has nothing to offer but simply wants to get something off his chest and considers it valiant to do so. If the former you offer nothing but endless debate and possible personal humiliation to yourself. If the latter you could accomplish your challenge by simply carrying it out on GS in a "free" posting environment where you could 1) present your information, 2) explain and document it and 3) receive responses and discussion. And all for "free", no airline peanuts, little hassle. This fly up and see me sometime stuff just comes across as bluster and blow and more blow than anything. So whether you're 1 or 2 of the above, or something else entirely, why not take me up on it? State your case, document and explain it, and let everyone who chooses have the benefit of it? Here. Now. Accuracy - well, it would be at least a good will gesture towards establishing yourself as someone worth reading and visiting for such a serious challenge if you typed your ideas coherently. The fact that you don't doesn't tell me you're entirely out to lunch. It just indicates that perhaps you're in too big a hurry, rushing to get your ideas out without giving them the benefit of a second read. If that's the case, what does it say about your other ideas? One thing about VPW you will probably know and remember - he was a big one for accuracy. In speech, print, you name it. An incorrectly spelled word...just one...in a Way Magazine and he'd be down everyone's throats. Why? "If you're not accurate on the little things you won't be accurate on the big things, the Word people!" If you're going to establish yourself so aggressively as a reliable and worthwhile source of anything resembling the Word, and do it in the same breath as VPW and his ministry, that would be a place to start - accurately rendering your contributions. Either way, I'm not a total word-nanny. I'll read what you have to say either way, if you'll say it. I'm just suggesting that if you're going to puff up your uh, chest and invite the whole world to a duke-out, make it at least appear like you've got something in your glove. edited for .... tiepose of all manner and shape!

Figured you'd be tired of it by now Tom, thanks! We got yer dancin' sea monkeys!, yer rabbits. Let it rain the love of the amazing sea monkeys! over all! :P-->

No chit WhiteDove! We got monkeys everywhere! Speaking of rabbits Tom, here's an instrument song I recorded for all lovers of Amazing Sea Monkeys! everywhere. It's titled Desert Rain Dance (I Like That Beat) - click on that it'll come up. For your auditory enjoyment and cranial pleasures. Hope you guys like it, it's sort of a collage of different ideas in a jazzy container. It started as a weird little idea and ended up a weird...bigger idea. :D--> Big thanks! to Bluzeman for providing the server space to store it!

:)--> I moved my lips, my tongue, my fingers....Wait, better stop, this should go on the Open Forums "Let's Talk About Sex" thread. Maybe this is why we don't talk about sex on GS. After thinking about Momentus I don't feel like it, I got a headache. "Again? We just did it last year!" kind of a feeling. Which could be a good thing in certain circumstance, pardon the pun. Sort of a mental cold shower, a full-brain condom. Birth Control For The Philosophical. Dunno. --> Either way, lest this derail become an outright train wreck I'll stop now before it's "too late".

I need a discount! And I may need Momentus too excyadra! What I really need is a class, of any kind, where someone will pay me for taking it. And I don't mean a "you can't afford NOT to take this class!" come on. I mean, actual cash money, dough-ski bro-ski, no coin all bills. Lean mean green. Folding paper of the Treasury kind. I want the bucks to stop right here. Lots of them. And I'd like the "price" of the class to GO UP! Cuz it's worth it! To show me they're really committed to their material. If it's that good, they should be willing to pay me! I need it! Can't do with out it! Got-ta got-ta have it! "Make Me Be Good" by socks (spritely, with feeling!) Make me an offer I can't refuse. Make me an offer in a form I can use. Give it to me hard. Give it to me mean. Just keep it coming till you hear me scream. Do it in love and do it again! Until I am crawling under my own skin. I love it, you have such a way with the lash! I'll be back again as soon as you have some more cash!!!

Let me amend that. "My prosperity's in transition." (two kids in coll-edge).

I'm broke. Does that count?

Wow, Liar. Congrats. Some questions though, please... Who the heck is "noone"? Apparently noone is a real loon and won't step up to the plate like a real adult and take you for their huckleberry. I would but noone has first dibs. Plus I'm married, and my huckleberries are taken. Noone, come out wherever you are, don't hide! Another question, what's a "special seared consicence" and what does it have to do with Pete Rose? I've read about his gambling but if he's consicencing around too, I'd like to know more. And, Do we really "lie in an age of grace"? What I mean is, do I HAVE to lie? I really don't want to, but if you're saying I have to "lie in an age of grace", I'll need some documentation. I figure you'll know, Liar. I've got more questions but I'll hold them in abeyance until the right time.

last one, good information but probably outdated now.

this may be an old site, dunno

Here's a good Memento site

Fore!!! This page contains an overview: Momentus If you do searches with Momentus and Dan Tocchini in the search field Google will come up with a few items.

HA!!! Spider man outfits! Jersey style. ;)-->

Hey CH, me and the Mrs. saw Spiderman2 Saturday night. GREAT flick, very cool, and really satisfying. We're going to see it again, and soon. LOVED IT!

Nope, ex10, didn't take it. After I spoke to people who had and did, couple who were involved in it's "early days" and held on till it blew out of town, I decided it wasn't for us. At the time I figured I didn't need to swallow a can of nails to find out for myself what it would feel like. Then I heard about Dan Tochini from some ex-Way sources and figured well, go figure. There must be some cosmic joke here - in one orifice and out another, what goes around comes around. I agree with you though, it's just one very small can of cheese in a very big dairy. But then several folks like yourself have said it was useful and helpful. Just goes to show I guess. As for the JALster, I shouldn't kick a guy when he's down, or on the way up, or sitting pretty. I'm sure he would give a ratz hiney either way. But as always, I wish him well, he deserves it as much as anyone.

Well, this may be more of a derail than was expected, but any mention of "Momentus" warrants it IMO. For the sake of the people who attend or participate in CES activities, I hope CES has backed WAY off Momentus. Like Mark S. I live in the area where it was started and they left a burnt trail of people in Northern California and I've only spoken about it to people who were never in the Way. I find the fact that some of the former "top" leaders of the Way felt compelled to take yet another class like Momentus after leaving is sadly amusing. Free Advert: If anyone still feels the need to take a class to help them get honest with themselves I have a real short one I can run for them, cheap. I promise you'll cry, scream, have breakthroughs and serious personal examination equivalent to a good enema. And that's just the first session BEFORE you get tied up. Just call 1-800-THETRUTHHURTS for more information. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Trust me. Insert :)-->, back to our regularly scheduled year-old message of Good News from Someone Who Really Really Cares.

Oldiesman, if there's some clarification there, it'll be a good thing, right? Maybe not a lot, but anything would be a step in the right direction.

Belle, I'm glad they cleared that one up. I'm sure the farm animals around The Farm in New Knoxville will sleep easy now. :D-->

Sounds great Tom. Pricey tickets! but a lot of them are up in the 100 plus range it seems. Man, I love the Everly Brothers, too. What a combination. S & G always seemed to have that smooth sweet sound like them. I remember reading once the Beatles, Lennon and McCartney, patterned their harmony sound after the Everly's and I can hear it, but their sound didn't have the same meshing, to me. They had more of a contrasting blend that made it unique. I love the recorded sound of "Still Crazy", what an awesome tune.

Very interesting list. Maybe it's just me but it seems a little odd. Click on Islam and read the "read this first" page. Whoever writes these things goes to great length to make sure that there isn't even a teeny weeny eensy bit of a chance that no Muslim will be insulted by what he writes and how he knows there are many honest, decent and swell Muslims and that doggonit if they are errors or misrepresentations to please write him directly so that he can make a reasonable effort to correct it if he deems it necessary. Yet, there's no such disclaimer/message/appeal for the writ on the pages for Jehovah's Witnesses. Or Wayfers. Read the first link on the Mormons Introduction bullet list. No appeal for accuracy, decency and communication, nothing about all the good and honest Your-cult-name-goes-here adherents to the other cults he lists. I wonder why that is?

SWEET Tom! Sounds like a great night. Glad you got to be there and your wife too! Did any of the songs stand out, any particular ones you were expecting and heard?

:D--> Awesome!

SWEET! Artiste'!

Grazie, grazie, Goey. All will be well. When we can meet and talk like this, with respect, like honorable people, we can always work out our differences. We have made a peace here today. But at times...I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall someone - if he was to be say hit by a fudgcicle while riding a bike, or suddenly find coffee spilled on his best pants... or if he should be struck by a spitwad- then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room; and then I do not forgive. But with that said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today. Ci sar?ace. Sia bene, sia bene don cornholio
