	Just a point of fact here, but it is possible to be a rich,
spoiled hayseed. Perhaps they don't have them in Canada, but west Texas 
is crawling with them. Come to think of it, great portion of the rest of 
state of Texas are crawling with them, as well. I have seen them in
Oklahoma and Kansas, as well. Strangely, I haven't seen any in 
New Mexico, but I haven't lived here as long as I lived in Texas.

Actually, we fanatasize about your demise in numerous ways:  dragged to

filled full of holes by Iowa Dan and me in an impromptu game of skeet
golf.  Or strangled by your own colon.  Face it, spunky, you're going

Hey.  When Phil makes a mistake, he owns up to it.  I saw your address
at sco.com and figured you were just over the hill.  I should have 
picked up on all the limiform expressions in your last post.  If
you had called parking lights "side lights" in the proper Brit style,
none of this would have happened.

Well, as far as parking lights go, you seem to be clean.  However,
I can't positively disprove the allegations about you and young boys,
Lotus 7's, and deceased gerbils. So I can't prove that you're not
a habitual criminal.  But you seem more honest than Spiro T. Agnew.

And I don't have a BMW.  My Saab turbo can show its rump to most
BMW's, though.

Cheers, Phil

I have a friend there who NEEDS to see him.  BTW, if you see Jed and are
persistent with him in one to one conversation, he'll end up giving you 
his classic tome, "Who will rise up?"  It is hilarious and worth the

Yes, true believers. Jed is here. Sans Cindy, he's not quite as interesting.
As a fellow UGA person has already said, his act doesn't seem as polished
or fervent as it has been in the past. I think he mgith not be feeling
up to par - he kept sitting on a folding chair and I thought I saw his
hand shaking when he went looking for it to sit down. Anyway, he got the
usual crowd of Jed neophytes (ie, those who had never seen His Holiness 
before) ranting about woman's place, drugs, homosexuals, etc. I *did* 
manage to get him to tell about being saved at the BK, though. When I 
mentioned some quotes that I had seen here on the net, he seemed puzzled
and asked me where I had heard such things...slyly, I told him that
I knew he was aware of Internet, to which he smiled. Divine approval, I 
think, of the little groupd we have here in net-land. I even coughed
up a buck for his book "Grieve Not the Spirit" which he promptly
autographed "To Jay - Seek God    Jed Smock". O happy day!

Somebody was distributing leaflets around Pitt's campus that said that a

You know, it's interesting...someone I dated a few years ago had been treated 
poorly by every guy she had ever gone out with.  I resolved to see to it
that she 
had something better.  I romanced her.  I did little things "just
because".  I sent
flowers to her.  I would run ahead to open doors for her. (not
obnoxiously, just
"cute-ly")  She dumped me because she was pregnant to someone else...

It seems that when I romanced women, they didn't know how to handle it.
Maybe I just happened to pick the wrong women to romance, but it just never
ended up very well.

A new boy/girlfriend can be found when the person is ready to find
one.  It depends entirely on the person in question.  I know people
that have started relationships within the same week, and others who
are still hurting almost a year afterwards.  I think part of it
depends on the length and intensity of the relationship that ended.

Sean, welcome to the ranks of truly hopeless romantics!!!  Your story sounds
very similar to some of my enocunters.  Upon recent relection i realized that
i have NEVER been attracted to, or gone out with, someone who didn't already
have a boyfriend in the begining.  I don't know what it is, but I just always
wind up feeling for the women 'aready taken' and its frusturating and annoying
most of the time.  

I don't have any suggestions for you, since I haven't solved any of the
problems myself.  But maybe 1 time in 1,000,000 being a hopeless romantic
will pay off for us.... maybe...

Net Surfing

Quiet sounds
resounding in my head
muffled tones
of an ambient song
name long forgotten.
They write the stories
of the life I have lead
boy meets girl
boy kisses girl
relationship dissapears into
an electronic funk of thousands
of IRC messages, passed between
strangers and continents in
the night...

On my screen
scrolls the endless gaggle
of groups
a blur in my vision
a thousandfold subjects
a million messages
buried in some
is a screaming soul
lost in the endless 
electronic maze.

Time flows by 
like a TGV
from the Riviera
to Paris
space warps
time warps
the sun shoots
across the otherside
of the world,
and high into the sky
before I can look away
from the screaming souls.

I think abstractly 
of the women I've loved
far too many
can be cd'ed to
across the AFS
as I crawl into bed
daylight burning
holes in 
my eyes
and a
tear of remembrance
flows
or is it just
the dryness
of the winter air?

In my dreams, 
I rn
or perhaps
I am not dreaming

and I must go to her.
