still yourself. feel quiet? 

have you ever reached out shaken fingers, curled to grasp at air, the air
left by the beatings of wings? have you pushed those fingers forward in
the hopes of feeling... something? something other than a pinch? 

perhaps you are seeking something soft, a gentle stroke, a whispering 
meant only for you. 

the wash of air thru lungs that are clean from hurt is thrilling beyond
explanation. the passing of fingers through the hair over your ears and
the back of your head can be equally as thrilling.

i am seeking those who believe enough to reach toward the stars at night
and call them friend. those who spin gleefully through the rain. those
whose dreams of flying are not vanquished by lack of invention. those who
have shed tears over the absense of a kiss....

whisper to me. 

i am the white light darting just above your head. and i can reach your ears.



dEw

In the middle of the night
she drops
         in the ears of her lovers
three drops
           of cold light.

For spring break a couple of friends and I will be heading down to Tucson,
Arizona.  My friends that we will be staying at are all underage, while my
group isn't.  What we would like to know, is what are the happening bars in the
Phoenix and Tucson area.  Plus, since we are all from Wisconsin, we don't
really know what to expect from the area.  My friend that I am staying with
doesn't have an e-mail account, so I have to rely on the snail-mail.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would greatly be appreciated.

Q:  What is the difference between Tucson, Arizona and Eau Claire, Wisconsin?
A:  About 50 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I'm a SWM, 24, in Northern California, and I'm getting tired
of a couple of things.  I'm getting sick of personals I see 
like this:

"Hey babe.  I got a foot long shlong.  Can you swallow it?
Let's get together and do the nasty."

And I'm really getting sick of e-mail relationships that run
something like this:

"Hi.  How's the weather?  You sound cute."

"Hi.  The weather's fine.  You also sound cute."

"Hi.  How's the weather?  Thank you for saying I'm cute."

"Hi.  The weather's fine.  You're welcome."

I'm here to respond to the former by posting a personal that says 
I am not an animal!!  I am a human being!  (My apologies
to the elephant man.)  I'm 6'0", black hair, gray eyes.
In regard to my looks, I consider myself relatively good
looking;  I may not be Richard Gere, but
I'm certainly not Richard Nixon.  I enjoy cooking, eating, 
dancing, film, jogging and working out. I'm very taken with 
music of most kinds (Randy Travis and Erasure don't do it for 
me.) and listen about 25 hours a day. I don't believe in 
political correctness.  I'm very curious about society and 
this whole difference between the sexes thing. I like philosophy 
and contemplating some of the big questions every now and then.
I like going out either to dance, see bands, or just to talk.
I've been wanting to play more pool or darts lately.  I can
also deal with quiet dinners and nights at home.

Now, you ask, what am I looking for?  I'm looking to meet or
talk to a few SWF's about my age (20 - 26).  Meeting would
always be great, but if you're not in Northern CA, I love to
talk.  

What can we talk about:  we can exchange stories or poetry, 
views of life, views on the universe, the twisted nature of the 
bar scene, vegetarianism, why people color their hair blue, 
history, philosophy, sex, drugs, rock and roll, or anything you 
want to talk about, just as long as it's not just the weather.

I've tried to present myself as a thinking, breathing human
being with who does something other than think with his genitalia.
So, to all you ladies out there, HERE'S A LIVE ONE AND HE'S
SINGLE.  And if I don't get any answers out of this, I don't
want to hear any more complaining about how decent men don't 
post.  I may not be perfect, but I think I'm at least 'decent'.

I seem to recall a Gone With The Wind quote from Rhett to Scarlett
which runs:

"Scarlett, I think you should be kissed, and kissed frequently, by
someone that knows how."

Besides that, what's the deal with wanting to be Scarlett?  Ok, it evokes a 
romantic image and all, but why Scarlett?  She didn't know what she wanted
until it was too late and lost Rhett because of it.  Not, someone I'd want

Hi everyone,

I'm a man in my mid-thirties looking to start an e-mail interaction
with a woman that could lead to meeting and more.

I'm real, I'm alive, I'm professional, I'm decent-looking and adventurous.  
I love outdoors, music, technicalia.  I don't like professional sports,
smoking, or drugs.  I offer real friendship to a kindred spirit.

To the unattached net women of the MA/RI/CT areas especially, I'd like to hear
from you.  

All puerile replies will be dispatched to /dev/null.

I like a racquetball, basketball, rugby, soccer (although I haven't played

Exactly right... which is why you shouldn't flame Mr. Orlin, there is nothing
illegal with what he posted. Immoral, maybe, by some people's standards, but
if that's the case, then just ignore the message. I don't even think it was
immoral, actually, just slightly annoying (although some people might have
found it more than slightly annoying). It wasn't that big a deal.
Some people have a chip on their shoulder the size of Cincinnati and are

Geez, did I hit a nerve or what?  I am *not* trying to play net cop, nor am

wanted to know why the heck a guy would want a bi female unless he was 
looking to sleep with her and another woman.  

For the record, I do not get "porked".  If I were going to look for a bi guy,
it would be so that the SO had another guy to play with.  Got it?  I'm not

Hmmm....maybe this is why you dont get more replies. 
First, Hi and Hello are not questions.
Second, they are not intimations of stupidity.

Maybe these people are shy and want to talk dirty with you but want
you to take the initiative...well, go for it!
