From: Amos Date: 28 Mar 01 - 06:08 PM A HUGE spiritual being tangled up in endless miles of Lilliputian threads and constrained by the vectors of space and mass to stick to a second-rate body on the surface of a lovely quaint if primitive little planet on the limb of some third-rate galaxy about as far as possible from the center of a minor galaxy cluster, out on the borders of a two-bit supercluster, suspended part way down the backside of a low-class Filament in a Universe that keeps insisting in the dominance of trivial issues like mass, inertia, unidirectional time and general solidifcation. Please notice my thumb is out.... |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 28 Mar 01 - 08:29 PM I've instructed my wife that on my gravestone is to be engraved, "A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR.....AND A LOVER." A gentleman: One who, in the words of Oscar Wilde, never hurts anyone else's feelings--unintentionally. A lover???? Not in the bedroom-athlete sense (only), and CERTAINLY not in the Don Juan sense, but in the sense of daily habitual tenderness and consideration and so forth. After thirty-seven years of marriage I think my Beautiful Wife will indeed put that third description on the stone. Being a folksong singer and banjo and guitar player are important to me, but those three things on the stone are really who I hope I am. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: Bill D Date: 28 Mar 01 - 09:40 PM I thought you'd never ask: I am, in my heart, a synthesist....one who is jack of many trades, and master of few. I studied Philosophy, but found even that to be not broad enough. In a sci-fi novel I read once, there was this giant ship, sent from earth to colonize the stars...designed to survive hundreds of generations if nesessary...(hydroponics, databases...the works)...but all the specialization necessary to make a big ship run eventually created a society in which most individuals had little idea what their history was or what the relationship was between their job and and others. So...this kid was born, who was a mis-fit...failed all the aptitude tests and seemed to be doomed to menial labor...but he explored, found secret places, discoved ancient texts,(you get the idea)..and LO! it was discovered that the 'planners' had forseen all this and planted stuff for just such a one to stumble onto so as to rekindle knowlege and forge lost bonds between the disciplines...a *synthesist*....... ...that's me.....in the meantime, until I'm called, I turn wood and kibitz. |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: GUEST,_gargoyle Date: 28 Mar 01 - 11:36 PM I'm a gargoyle, always been a gargoyle, and proud to be a gargoyle, will always stay a gargoyle.
Upon my birthing day, my looks chased the doctor away.
Did mighty fine work for Dick and Sue, did all they ever asked me to do.
Let me raise my head and make a suggestion
At least have the courtesy of a laughing-cat and put B.S. at the front by your scat.
Damn! Will there EVER be order in this house? |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: CarolC Date: 28 Mar 01 - 11:51 PM Hey gargoyle... Maybe it's not just a folksong group any more. Maybe it's more than that now. Maybe trying to keep it just to folksongs is like trying to keep a flower in a bud and not allowing it to open. That's what it looks like to me, anyway. Carol |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: mousethief Date: 29 Mar 01 - 12:35 AM Carol, ignore the flames, just like in Hell. Ignore the flames. Ignore the flames. I have to say it over and over sometimes (and sometimes it doesn't work, as witnessed over in that other thread...). Ebbie, cow-orker is a mispunctuated joke on co-worker. Lame one, I know, but it's become habit now. Alex |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Mar 01 - 12:38 AM So garg......How's tricks? That one's not up to your usual standards although you seem to have gotten a better spell checker. I mean, what's with the rhymes? You just don't seem to have the old pizzazz man.......That post almost made sense and you are usually more cryptic. Well, times change I guess.............. Spaw |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: CarolC Date: 29 Mar 01 - 12:53 AM Alex, ignoring the flames is a good philosophy in most instances, and I'm glad you want to live by that philosophy. I think sometimes it can be helpful to put one neutral post in after a post like gargoyle's. Sometimes that seems to preempt some of the more inflamatory responses that posts like that one seem to get. The key word here is neutral, containing no emotional content or inflamatory language of any kind. Not even sarcasm or irony. I've been flamed a lot in the last week or so. I have responded as graciously as possible to some of them, and I have ignored others. Thankfully, this one was not aimed at me. Having flames aimed at you hurts, doesn't it? I agree that in no instance is it constructive to respond to a flame with another flame or with any kind of emotional response. Thanks for your concern. Carol |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: katlaughing Date: 29 Mar 01 - 01:22 AM Damn, Spaw, you're right! "The courtesy of a laughing-cat" why I am almost misty-eyed! The rhyming was great, gargoyle! |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: JulieF Date: 29 Mar 01 - 04:29 AM Kendal - practising spontenaity - every time an opportunity comes up try to suppress the little voice in the back of your head that goes - not enough money in the kitty, haven't orgainsed anything so can't do anything, have to do something much more important but boring. The longer you can suppress that voice the better you are at spontinety - I could be completely spontenaious ( is that a real word ?) if I didn't have to think about so many other things. What I try and do - is organise days with nothing in - so I can go with the flow - usually nothing happens but occasionally it works All the best Julie |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: Gervase Date: 29 Mar 01 - 04:29 AM Me? Right; I'm a pain in the arse, a chancer, a dreamer, an incurable romantic, a hopeless optimist, a manic depressive, a skater on life's thinnest ice, a piss-artist, a socialist, a humanist, an unreliable but lovable parent and partner and probably the sort of person your mother told you never to play with. Just like everyone else, really. All things considered, I'd rather be a saggy old cloth cat, though... |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: kendall Date: 29 Mar 01 - 08:21 AM Julie I have always thought that spontaneity was automatic. It just happens without thought. |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: JulieF Date: 29 Mar 01 - 08:51 AM Kendall - I don't think that we do anything without thought, unless it's a purely physical reaction. I have similar views on the subject of intuition, which I know a lot of people disagree with me about. I do think that you can change how you react so that you do become more spontaneous. Its like knowing you can let yourself go in specific circumstances - so what looks like spontaneity to the outside is really the end of a considered thought process. Julie |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Mar 01 - 09:47 AM All jokes aside, I've loved this song for 30 years and it hits me where I live......a little more everyday. I'm a dreamer by nature and I've always been Tryin' to dream myself out of this world that I'm in. In my dreams I escape all the troubles around. And it ain't cost a penny for the pleasures I've found. CH: What is the part, that I play today? A beggar, a businessman, king for a day? I've played many the parts and I'm the first to agree, That I'm still looking round for the man that is me. I'm a dreamer by nature and I've always been, Looking for something not there. My financial condition don't bother my dreams, 'Cause in fairy tale money I'm my own millionaire. CH------ In my dreams I'm a rich man but in real life I've hid, From the fact that I got me a wife and a kid. If I lose what I got, well then they lose it too. Tell me what in this world's a poor dreamer to do? CH-----End. Spaw |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 29 Mar 01 - 10:41 AM I am a music lover, but into so many kinds of music that I cannot be classed as a folkie, rocker, etc. I am an artist, but I am not really strong in any particular area. I am a friend, but am still too shy and reserved to be totally comfortable with people. I am a singer, but I have an annoying voice. I know multitudes of things, but they are mostly useless to anyone besides myself. I am a person, but largely ignored in real life. That's who I am. |

Subject: RE: What are you, really? From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Mar 01 - 10:54 AM Except for that silly crack about your voice, you're getting more mature all the time Matt. Very well thought out and introspective. Glad to see it.........Its a long way back to Meebo. You may have made my day.....week, I think.....with that one post. Spaw |
