Thanks Lou, you're a good guy. One of my lines is that none of us asked to be born. I believe in reincarnation. I think it would be more bizarre if we were just biological results. Another thing, how come if our bodies change, that unknowable quality which is each of us never does, that part of us when we are lucid and not in some type of a snit. I remember staring at myself in the mirror as a kid and asking over and over again who am I, who am I?
I think I might be either Lenny Bruce or Montgomery Clift, they both died just before I arrived. Then again, I believed in the Curse of the Bambino when the Red Sox choking had more to do with lousy management, pitching, and defense, not to mention that the Yankees cheat.
I heard some Maine politician sent Dave Ortiz 41 lobsters for the taters he has hit so far. You can expect a visit from Big Papi someday.

Your welcome socrates but I don't know about "being a nice guy", I guess that depends on who you ask, I'm sure people like John Boyd Reynolds, Jr. would have a far different opinion of me, I'm sure that Reynolds and his ilk think I'm anything but a nice guy but then they have good reason as I think that they are contemptible scum on their best day and have voiced that opinion many times.
I to believe in reincarnation as well as believing that we chose the time of our reincarnation or not, and remain ethereal beings of energy and thought belonging to an eternal collective of thought and energy unbound by time, woah, maybe you didn't want to know all of that, sorry, I go off sometimes.
I've been tempted to undergo a hypnotic past life regression but I'm a little bit afraid of just what I might learn about my past life self, I don't think I have always been "a nice guy" or for that fact "a nice woman" and besides, I've got enough baggage in this life without dredging up past life stuff, I just want to finish this life and move on to the unknown.
I'm not a big baseball fan, I'm more into football but I know the big leagues is all about who has the most money to buy the better players, that speaks to all sports these days but especially baseball, the Yankees no doubt cheat but there management spend three times the amount of money as other teams do in recruiting and paying players, it's kind of like the Dems Vs. the Republicans, the Republicans have always outspent the Dems but they don't always win, that's a good thing.
Yes, Dave Ortiz got 41 Maine lobsters from one of our tax burdens, that's about $450.00 worth of crustaceans, what I want to know is, where the hell is my 41 lobsters, Dave Ortiz doesn't even vote in this state, I do.
Well buddy, I've got to go, Mother is telling me that supper is on the table so I better get to it, I do not want to piss her off, catch you later.

Thank you all for the nice welcome. I can be tough to understand at first, misunderstood. Usually once people get to know me they are like oh that is "socrates".
I am happy to have found this place. I think another reason CTC didn't back up the moderation team is because of the peaceful leanings, the old school John Lennon type outlooks that you all seem to agree on or relate to.

You got that right Soc!! Nowadays, we are considered "Old Farts", and "Get with the program". Sorry to let these Cro-Mags know, but peaceful and aggressive people have always been around, going back over a million years perhaps. Even look at the animal kingdom. A lion alone will never attack a herd of elephants, but if a baby is alone, they will attack. The way of aggression is attack the defenseless, or try and gang up on one tough peaceful person, like they used to do to Abbie Hoffman. Yean Lennon was a big threat to the Cro-Mags, talking of universal love and peace for all. As this little diddy goes by Noble Gas, it about sums it all up. www.noble-gas.com/sandbox.mp3 |
