question -- mine just effects the lymph nodes and my esophagus -- does lupis start with the brain -- is it one of those brain things where you fugue out into sociopathy? some of your recent crits are really vicious -- not sharp, like mine, but hurting, and to people and verse which was blameless ( except maybe for some faults of style... but not enough to damn the author to hell... unless of course you're really really into the cut of your cuff -- sink me, if you aren't a dandy!?? ) -- and, working the brain --- oh, rose though art sick, and so is zelda -- where in your brain core is all this hate coming from unless it's a tumor? and is lupis like tumor?

tell you what --- i wonder if you like movies? there's a really wonderful one called 'parting glances' -- it's totally gay and not for you, maybe, but you may be able to see some of the romance and simple and vital energy in this -- and it'll maybe help you with your 'loopy' or whatever it's called.

"well, i hope i die before you do. death isn't the problem, it's living with it ;) "

living with what? what do you mean? I know by the context that you don't mean to be ambiguous.  However, as it reads I cannot be sure, but presume you mean that  you find "living with death is a problem".

I can't let that fear ruin my own love and joy for life.
I am only afraid of helpless suffering, and will euthanize myself if possible when/if that time comes.

I am not afraid, though, of "living with death", per se.  I've always felt that death (figuratively) was and is right here at hand.   Having seen so much death, relatively speaking, AIDS, accident, murders, of friends and loved ones,
I have had such keen closeness to death, and so have you, surely.
So what is to be afraid of, other than that you might be put into hours or months of real agony?  I am only in horror of personal agony.  The rest of it, I can be circumspect and calm and even accepting death as natural, and even wanted when enough has been enough.   But I am old(er) and have had a fine, full ride.
Will get off the circuit only when forced by practical reasons, such as sudden death, or permanent pain of such sort that I cannot then function even as an expressive, virtual personality.

oh, my dear, you really are treading water in all this -- meta's to the fore and sink or swim. whatever shall i do with you -- 'what shall we do with a drunken sailor...'

i'd suggest, since you haven't much time left, that you leave off being gracious and actually get down to preparing as an artist to leave this life -- you haven't written a poem yet that's worth much -- certainly not a poem which can give a young netsky some hope, some understanding. and just passing out copies of books -- well, this is maybe too complicated for you -- just gossiping about what everyone already gossips about can't mean much to anyone else -- unless you're afraid to stlp talking?

well, i don't want your acceptance, i wanted your opinion on doris and i wanted a sample of your writing so that i can see if you have any verbal ability. it's no fun writing to a brick wall -- though, of course, my comment was actually written to mor. you're just the messenger.

who wants to vote unknown out of the island?

What for? For saying to joey, "i accept your apology"  ?

Just to read the ingrate response from joey that follows, validates the truth of the matter:

he needed a time-out to think about churlishness.  
he will be back, and I hope, gentler and different than we see exemplified by this page of this thread.

I don't hold for unknown posters, not often, but here, today:  I do, for the crime was not theirs.

Why?

re: The funniest thing that joey has ever posted...  unknown  21 Aug 08 3:39AM Thread Closed

Thanks, nets. My question ^ was directed at markfelician.

re: The funniest thing that joey has ever posted...  netskyIam  21 Aug 08 3:40AM Thread Closed

> Why?
posts four and five of this page.

note how he attacks a person who was big enough to say, "I accept your apology".
