Way to go Gup!  And I use them as well, but I wanted to get the author's take on what I considered the overuse of them. And I think I offended him in the process dispite saying I liked the work.  <BR>
<BR>
I found his reference to Prince uncanny as well.  I like Prince's work but have always found his use of writing numbers for words annoying.  But I still like the work.

I'm not offended, buddy...I was just pissed last night for no apparent reason...anyway, it's kinda cool to stir up some type of conversation on this thing...makes it interesting, even if it is about ELIPSES  geesh i think calling them dotdotdot's is much easier<BR>
<BR>
lol, anyway, I have noticed i overuse the dots...i'll attempt to calm down JUST FOR YOU PAUL BUDDY! alright?<BR>
later all thanks for all the good stuff to say<BR>
<BR>
PS...i don't even know why I referred to Prince...I just like making obscure references in conversation...

Yeah baby!!! First of all Mi Vida Loca is only one of my signature songs.  Go girl.  Email me just for the hell of it...*grin*  Anyways reading the lyrics just made me want to grab a certain guy and plant one on him and sing loudly...but I would have to be MAD drunk to do it.<BR>
And Jenna-  Cowboy take me away is like...my prayer these days.  I am glad you've found yours.  Does he have a brother.<BR>
<BR>
And Kev-  Your words are perfect.  As  always.  Come take ME on a road trip and get me the hell out of this crazy area.  I owe you an email and a snail mail but damn its insane.<BR>
<BR>
And Shadygirl-  Kudos on Untitled.  I have heard good stuff about you so...glad you are back.<BR>
