Life is tough, be nice to everyone
by Cygnus ini went shopping last night around 1 in the morning and the late-night crew did all they could to assist me, and they were so nice.
it brings my heart great cheer when strangers show empathy and kindnss, and more so when acquaintances do the same.
i had a very nice phone call with almostatheist last night and he obliged me by letting me ramble on, and i thank him for letting my big mouth blather and blather.

When I was DF'd... briefly
by Cygnus inwhen generously given the opportunity to go before three men who, for the community of persons i grew up with and shared with, even owed my life to, would judge me as a wicked hater of righteousness, i got a word in, and maybe some day that word will be remembered, or could be of use to someone.. many of you know my story.
i'm not going into the whole thing here.
i will say, i quit the jws in 6/97 and the elders finally df'd me in 4/00.

MY NAME IS EARL
by Cygnus inlast night i downloaded the first two episodes of this show and the last time i laughed so hard was when i watched jay and silent bob strike back, a movie from 2002 which happens to include jason lee who plays two characters resurrected from past kevin smith movies, mallrats and chasing amy.. who else thinks this is the best thing to happen to television since seinfeld got really good?
if you're familiar with jason lee and mallrats, you can see some of his character brodie in earl.
the only thing that disturbed me was when i saw jason lee on carson daly's show and he said some disparaging remarks about movies he's been associated with, which makes me wonder if he's had a major falling out with smith.
