And watch this one post spawn a three page discussion. How do you do that, anyway?

I guess I should ask if something's wrong, or if you're just being philosophical today. So I will.

Is something wrong, or are you just being philosophical today?

To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition."

Charles is as cryptic as ever.

I'm looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see, what its done to me...
To lose the love I knew, could safely lead me to
The land that I one knew...
To learn as we grow old, the secrets of our souls."

Would it be too obtuse of me to comment that "We're not who...we are!"?

Or to say "mY LIFE IS A SQUASHED AVOCADO"

or even "We are the egg-men. I am the WALRUS!"

of course, even the Vorlons bow to Floyd.
(I.)
I have always been here...
I have always looked out from behind these eyes,
Feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime.

Sometimes, I get tired of the waiting,
Sometimes, I get tired of being in here,
Is this the way that it's always been?
Could it ever have been different?

Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tited of being in there?
Don't worry,
Nobody lives forever...
Nobody lives... forever.

(II.)
I will always be here.
I will always look out from behind these eyes.
It's only a lifetime,
It's only a lifetime,
It's only... a lifetime.

You don't know HOW I shudder every time I hear that song.

I think Charles is just spending the year dead for tax purposes.

Posted by Curry Monster (Member # 12) on :

Well in that case do the following:
Get in car
Ensure you have plenty of 'gas'
Floor it around the mountains for awhile; ensuring that the windows are open and the music is very loud

You'll either come home exhiliarated or in a box .

Happily, I am not dead eaither... Yay! I thought i was for a while though... been fighting one HECK of a nasty (and persistant) bug all week, and it REALLY was bringing me down...

BUT, I finally achieved in using mind over matter or whatever to "forget" the symptoms or something last night, and since then I'm feeling MUCH better! (Actually.... i dont' think I "forgot"... I think the symptoms just went away )

Either way though... Yay! I'm alive!!!!!!! *grin*

and not only that, butI saw the boys last night.... a TON of the boys... I've missed them so.... *grin* I'm glad I saw them.... I feel better

Charles is beyond the point where gagh is best served but not quite to the point of being thrown into the tlhIq (stew) for tomorrow.

"I've been dead before." -- Spock, ST:VI

I've visited, spent time with, or had close encounters with Death more than I usually care to think about. It's gotten to the point where she doesn't disturb me at all anymore.

Destiny isn't speaking to me.
Dream still scares me.
Destruction is still missing.
Desire only abuses me.
Despair, I sometimes spot staring back at me from the mirror.
Delerium is a good friend, and we share cookies.

I've been reading too many books.

Posted by RW (Member # 27) on :

The reason why Charles manages to spawn such long threads is quite simply because he is being vague! He leaves a lot of elbow room for everyone, this is no exception. Just saying you're not dead gives others the opportunity to talk about ANYTHING about death. If he was a bit more specific his threads would.. erm, die.

Posted by HMS White Star (Member # 174) on :

YES, yes correct, it's like those stupid ink blobs that don't really show anything, but the human mind's need for order and it's hate randomness and Chaos makes an image out of object, that's what Charles posts are. My guess is he was feeling like that guy in Amercian Beauty, a Movie about a man who isn't Dead he just isn't alive, cuz he has forgotten that life is short and he should smell the roses.

Hey that sounded clear yesterday, but I worked 50 hours in 4 days so give me a break.

I just thought it was CC's close proximity to many of ye (i.e. same continent) that put the Fear of Trousers into all and sundry, compelling them to spiel on and on about whatever Our Illustrious And Benevolent Overseer deems worthy to discuss.

Living in the back of beyond, His influence over me is somewhat diminished, but like a decreasing exponential, is never truly gone.

The proof?
Look what I'm after typing.
And I didn't once mention Death.
