Swami, your 4th grade illustration was lively and imaginative. In fact, it was very funny. So let me ask you....dont you recall as a youngster, perhaps throwing rocks and snowballs around, and you see a target, maybe a moving car or a high window, even perhaps a mother bird in a nest protecting her offspring, and the target is so inviting yet you know you shouldn't try to hit it, so you just kinda nonchalantly toss in it's general direction... And you still hit it cuz the target was too easy...? Quite often that is what we find here...

...wait, let me try another analogy. Do you ever remember as a young adolescent, days when you had a boner that just would not quit? I mean you knew it was a sin to jerk off, so you'd sneak off to corners or rooms and stroke just a little, but not actually splooging, cuz you didn't want to go to hell or mess up the drapes Aunt Kay made for x-mas 2 years ago? But then finally, you start to jerk off and it feels too fucking good to stop so ya blow...sometimes you just gotta follow through to completion on things you probably shouldn't have started in the first place.





Let me put it another way, this place would lose a lot of its attractiveness if it wasn't so anarchistic. You never know what might happen, so the fact that certain threads don't go the way you want or thought they would, as understandable as I find your inner disappointment, thats life and thats XPT. Inner tranquility, oh swami, is found in acceptance of certain forces.

At least Ghost Shadow had people antagonizing him when he blew the Hillary Scott thread.




See! It's Ghostshadow's fault! I knew I didnt need to sincerely apologize. Yessssss!
