Dear Rhet,<BR>
          If the thought of watching your partner with someone else (is that right, or is it just to imagine what you two look like from 'outside', the desire to know if you 'look good') then if that is what it takes to ring your bell, so be it. However, you COULD just get a BIG mirror....<BR>

What amazes me most about this site is that people are so quick to take offense and attack the idea of someone they don't even know.  Constructive conversation, an exchange of ideaS, is great.  But the sniping, sarcasm, outright insults and grave aaumptions that people make about each other would indicate only that we human beings still want to stomp out individuality. That there has to be a you are wrong, I am right.  And that is a grave error.  I believe wholeheartedly in passion of all kinds, love of all kinds and every permutation thereof.  I love this site because the poetry is so individual, yet the chord of romance ties us all together.  It's only on the Board that people seem to want to tear each other apart.

I loved "Fall", absolutely loved it. I like when people write poems that so perfectly capture what I've found to be the hardest part of this addicting "love" nonsense: when love isn't unrequited, but it's not written in the stars either, and people are together, but there's still this distance between them, this missing link they may never get.<BR>

I heard throught the grapevine that Universal pictures is looking for a "real" West Virginian to play Jesco White in the movie about his life.  Ya think I could pass for the Dancin' Outlaw?<BR>
<BR>
Damn, that would be a great gig.  MPH or not, I was born to play that role!<BR>

I don't know, Rhet... but there is another Blenderite amongst us who IS a true-live West-by-God-Virginian AND an actor to boot!  Perhaps THAT person should give it a whirl!!!!

Here are a couple of good resources online for the reading impaired...<BR>

I offer these as you clearly have a reading problem.  Where in god's name did you read that I don't believe in love?<BR>

Sometimes it is best to just shut up if you haven't got anything moderately intelligent to say.

Eu Du Su....  your words<BR>
<BR>
inspiration is bullshit, the same kind of bullshit we mere mortals believe in that allows for all sort of madness in the world - a pencil or keypad is all the inspiration one needs to write or create<BR>
<BR>
inspiration and romance and creativity and success are all facets of a vast right-and-left-wing conspiracy to keep us regular folks dumb stupid and emotionally bankrupt, worrying about acting passionate when they can't even honor their WORDS as their SELVES...well, it is late here and i have now qualified for rant of the week award (even tho it wasn't really a rant) <BR>
<BR>
This place really attracts the mental ones, huh?<BR>
I think Plato once wrote that "Love is a grave mental disease." <BR>
<BR>
Kissing is much more powerful than intercourse, that is why a hooker won't usually kiss you. Far more intimate than placing your erect member in her and ejaculating, right gals? My, my what a productive uplifting site this has become. I can just save my therapy money and write here all the time, and maybe even some of you might want to come visit me for some sex or just kissing...after all, we haven't even met properly and already a bunch of you are in love with me, right? <BR>
<BR>

I asked my husband when I first met him, how in the world would I ever be able to meet and talk to all the rich and famous artists and musicians, conductors, producers, movie stars etc that he drug me all over the world to meet. He laughed and said BK just remember that they put on their britches the same way you do ONE LEG AT A TIME and treat them like you would anyone else. He said some are the nicest most humble people you will ever meet and some are over educated IDIOTS, and some are GIANT ASSHOLES... now eu,su,PU which catagory do you think you belong in???
