...so who's first on your list? :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I don't get it...we complain about the homeless problems in the United States and then we complain when there is one less homeless person...this lady is a patriot...she did this country and our economy a service and is now on trial for murder. It's a sick world we live in. I for one am going to pay her tribute and show my support by getting f*&%ed up and running down homeless people. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

i don't know what I would consider the "minimum requirements" to be a skydiver, but I have flown a plane before, but don't consider myself a pilot. I juggle, and do magic, but don't consider myself a juggler or a magician. I write philosophy, but don't consider myself a philosopher. I have always been of the opinion that I do not want to put a title on myself because I believe that a lot lies in a title. A lot of time and effort, and money in a lot of cases, goes into someone earning the title. Example...my mom goes skydiving (tandem) almost every year. Neither of us consider her a skydiver...she is a lady who has fun skydiving and goes occassionally. Why would she need to call herself a skydiver? To legitimize her jumps? Her life? I just don't get it. Just my opinion. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

hmmm.... I've also considered an old gymsock placed gently but firmly in her mouth held in place wiht about 10 feet of duct tape.. coupled wiht more duct tape applied around her wrists keeping them safely behind her back.. ---------- Don't let her get wind of that idea...she'll make ya do it. You're in big enough trouble when she sees what you've been writing...refusing her bondage will just make it worse... -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

"excuse me...I seem to have dropped my carrot..." oh, the images that brings back... nevermind... :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Personally, I only have eyes for the real thing...my honeybear Tad a.k.a. Wintermute. --------------------- Please never mention Tad's penis again... yuck! -Steve _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

If he's just big, that's not ok...but if he is artistically bulky, then it's fine... -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

When neither of us are experts (other than as men with penises) ------- technically, I think that makes us an expert in everything, doesn't it? :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I always look funny, thank you very much... -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Who the f&%* cares??? I'm not going to paint my ceiling thinking, "he used to look better..." uh...nevermind... :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Yeah, I have a thought...I think I never wanted to know ANYTHING about your penis. :) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I had a funny feeling...oh...oh...wait...oh, that was a good one. Anyway, has anyone looked at the T3 website? Pretty sweet. www.terminator3.com -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

good for you. I was just looking for a picture of her. Now I can spend my time photoshopping her clothes off instead. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Who the f&$% cares??? I'm not going to paint my ceiling thinking, "she is not a credible killing machine..." -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

if I do a friend a favor it isn't due to fake altruism its because I'LL feel better having done it. --------------- The difference is whether you feel good about it because you have made someone else feel good, or if you feel good because others will look at you more favorably with disregard for the recipient of the gesture. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Anyone see the coming attractions for T3 this summer? Anyone notice how much hotter the bad robot is in this movie than in the last one? Ya know...even though she is evil and made to kill...I think death by hottie would bring a certain amount of pleasure to ones demise... Made me want to see the movie at least. :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

just got back to the house after seeing it for the first time... let me get back to you in a day or two after it sinks in... :-) -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Seriously, what about the Prozac generation? Drugs that 'balance' us eliminate the feelings that, in some, inspire creativity. The Blues is all about pain and suffering. We'd have no rock 'n' roll at all without the blues from which it was all derived. Brave New world (Aldous Huxley) Farenheight 451 (RayBradbury) Animal Farm (George Orwell) Atlas Shrugged (&) The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand) ----------- Good point. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Just for the record, I don't think that drugs are bad, nor alcohol, nor guns or knives, or many other things that one person or another has tried to ban at one time. I had a discussion on a talk radio program about technology...the question was if technology will destroy us...my answer was no. I think that technology is a symptom of the problem in the human race that eventually will contribute to our demise. Goes along with the saying, "Free enterprise will destroy capitalism". Same thing here...I think that misuse of drugs is where the problems occur...frankly, I don't really care if Joe Schmo gets high once in a while with his friends, any more than I would judge a parent who allows their teenager to have a glass of wine at dinner. In order to appreciate the following, you MUST understand that it is not meant as a statement for or againt religion...regardless of what you think... If you really think about the Marx statement, it is true that religion is a kind of drug. Take, for example, someone who is depressed and turns to alcohol...they are lost in the world and find something that makes it feel better and form a relationship with that substance that makes the world and their lives more bearable. Same sort of idea...people have questions about reality in which we are lost. Along comes religions, each of which offers itsself as THE answer...once you believe deeply enough in one or another, it offers comfort and seemingly answers to these questions that one has always had. What happens when you question a drunk about their addiction??? Generally, they get upset, or they deny, or any number of things...what happens when you back someone into a corner with an inconsistancy in their religion? Same sort of thing. Thinking about the Matrix, it's like when Morpheus is introducing Neo to the Matrix in the agent training program, explaining to him that there are minds that are not ready to be freed...that they hold so dearly to what they consider to be the truth that they refuse to consider any alternative. When we find something that makes us comfortable, it takes something huge to cause us to let it go. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Was there anything in my post that said that we should ban music that was written by people who were on drugs when it was created? Who is to say that there would not be good music or books or movies without drugs? Considering that it's a hypothetical, we really don't know. It may not be the same as it has been, but who is to say that in this alternate reality where drugs didn't influence, that we would not be having a discussion about the amazing art that had been created in that world? -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Strictly speaking though, the test you took this weekend wasn't random was it? It was a pre-employment screening -- right? A condition of employment? A voluntary act? ---------------- Random - referring to someone not knowing when it is coming. Random - not equivalent to "involuntary" In the first post I said that the random drug testing would be introduced as part of an artist's contract...just like it is in our contracts with drop zones, or a pilot's contract with an airline, etc... -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Seems to me that a drug problem is a drug problem, and making "good music" is not a worthy justification. Maybe it's just me. Wonder if drugs had not been used if we would still have what we would consider masterpieces. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

Correct about the fact that parents have a responsibility and always will. Look at the fact, though, that entertainers TRY to take that roll, and TRY to influence society, and succeed. I get a kick out of entertainers that say that they are just expressing themselves and don't care if people watch their videos or listen to their music, or buy their cd's...then they leave the interview in their brand new BMW or Jaguar or limo, and go on to their next public appearance. Seems to me that they care about their influence when they are talking about padding their pocket book, but when it comes to their influences in other areas, maybe those that they did not intend, they brush it off and say that it's someone elses fault or problem. Everything comes at a price, and celebrities know that the price of fame is some or all of their personal life...whether that is right or not, it is a fact. I, personally don't think that random drug testing is necessarily the answer, but it was a thought that crossed my mind considering that I took one this weekend. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

I see where you are coming from, but would you then say that everyone should be on drugs because it spawns creativity? Where would you draw the line of who is on drugs for creativity and who is on them for recreation, and what fields merit this kind of creative vehicle? -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

what do you suppose would happen if record labels introduced random drug testing into contracts with artists, failure of which would lead to termination of the contract? Obviously, if one did it, they would just lose business to others who were not...but what if all of them did it? It's far fetched, but just a thought... -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...
