2:10 pm - Some come back lines for one of 'those' moments
|
1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit. 2. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a fuck. 3. How about "never"? Is "never" good for you? 4. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying. 5. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. 6. Ahhh, I see the fuck-up fairy has visited us again. 7. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. 8. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. 9. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. 10. Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. 11. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. 12. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. 13. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. 14. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid. 15. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!? 16. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. 17. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. 18. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off. 19. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. 20. No, my powers can only be used for good. 21. I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me. 22. You sound reasonable......time to up my medication. 23. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. 24.I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. 25. I don't work here. I'm a consultant. 26. Who me? I just wander from room to room. 27. My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys!

3:10 pm - I must try harder
|
H.H. Dalai Lama .............
"At the heart of Buddhist philosophy is the notion of compassion for others. It should be noted that the compassion encouraged by Mahayana Buddhism is not the usual love one has for friends or family. The love being advocated here is the kind one can have even for another who has done one harm. Developing a kind heart does not always involve any of the sentimental religiosity normally associated with it. It is not just for people who believe in religions; it is for everyone who considers himself or herself to be a member of the human family, and thus sees things in accordingly large terms.
"The rationale for universal compassion is based on the same principle of spiritual democracy. It is the recognition of the fact that every living being has an equal right to and desire for happiness. The true acceptance of the principle of democracy requires that we think and act in terms of the common good. Compassion and universal responsibility require a commitment to personal sacrifice and the neglect of egotistical desires.
"Our every-day experience confirms that a self-centred attitude towards problems can be destructive not only towards society, but to the individual as well. Selfishness does not solve problems for us, it multiplies them. Accepting responsibility and maintaining respect for other will leave all concerned at peace. This is the essence of Mahayana Buddhism."

10:31 am - With Sympathy
|
I don't usually pass on bad news like this unless I have to, but sometimes we need to pause and remember what life is all about. There was a great loss recently in the entertainment world. Larry LaPrise, the Detroit musician who wrote the song Hokey Pokey, died last week aged 83. Most traumatic for the family was getting him in the coffin. They put his left leg in............. things just went downhill from there.

9:41 am - How Interesting
|
Background:
Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned in any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr.Laura penned by a US resident and also posted on the Internet:
Dear Dr. Laura,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev.1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
d) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 5:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
e) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
f) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
g) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?
h) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
i) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
FOOTNOTE: *This is not intended to insult or offend anyone but if it does, I guess thats something you will have to deal with (Timiticus. 30:03)

9:16 am - You Never Know!
|
Two nuns were in back of the convent smoking cigarettes, when one said, "It's bad enough that we have to sneak out here to smoke, but it really is a problem getting rid of the cigarette butts so that Mother Superior doesn't find them." The second nun said, "I've found a marvellous invention called the condom, which works really well for this problem. You just open the packet up, take out the condom, and put the cigarette butt in, roll it up, and dispose of it all later!"
The first nun was quite impressed and asked where she could find them. "You get them at the Pharmacy, sister. Just go and ask the pharmacist for them."
The next day the good sister went to the Pharmacy and walked up to the counter. "Good morning sister," said the pharmacist, "What can I do for you today?"
I'd like some condoms please" said the nun.
The pharmacist was a little taken aback, but recovered soon enough and asked, "How many boxes would you like - there are 12 to a box." "I'll take six boxes that should last about a week" said the nun. The pharmacist was truly flabbergasted by this time, and was almost afraid to ask any more questions, but his professionalism prevailed and he asked in a clear voice, " Sister, what size condoms would you like - we have large, extra large, the huge aussie and big liar size."
The sister thought for a minute, and finally said: "I'm not certain, perhaps you could recommend a good size for a Camel?" : : : : : The pharmacist fainted.

11:00 am - heheheheheehe
|
Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling, "You Sign! You sign!"
Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts. Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder.
"YOU SIGN! YOU SIGN!"
Nelson says to him, "Look, you've obviously got the wrong man", and shuts the door in his face.
The next day he hears a knock at the door again. When he opens it, the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads. He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling, "YOU SIGN! YOU SIGN!"
Mr Mandela is getting a bit pissed off by now, so he pushes the little Chinese man back, shouting: "Look, go away! You've got the wrong man! I don't want them!" Then he slams the door in his face again.
The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again. On opening the door, there is the same little Chinese man thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting, "YOU SIGN! YOU SIGN!"
Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts. This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little man by his shirt front and yells at him; "Look, I don't want these! Do you understand?
You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?"
The little Chinese man looks at him very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says:
(It's a beauty)
(wait for it)
Get your Chinese accent ready .....
"You not Nissan Main Dealer?"

Hi ya'll, this is an email (I took away the id part) mah bamaboi got which he fwd to me, I don't know what I can say other than I cried, this wiv all the support we both got thru l/j is mega. I don't know how we're gonna do it, but as buddha is my witness, we are gonna, hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz LUV YAS!! From: "xxxx" <xxxx@hotmail.com> To: bxxxxx_XX@hotmail.com Subject: 2 many Mcd's make the mind go soft Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 18:17:58 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Originating-IP: [2XX.2XX.1XX.1X] Received: from 2XX.2XX.1XX.1X by xxxxx.xxxx.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP;Tue, 13 Feb 2001 23:17:58 GMT
Love & Support to Tim and Dave - and the others involved in helping you in your own chat environment!
Dear Dave and Timbo -
(Sorry I don’t know Tim’s addy as I only know how to turn on a computer - not much more - I would LOL but it’s true and sad - never made the time - so maybe you will pass this on Dave).
The surest sign of success is to have the world begin to pick away at you, and then jealous and insecure people ATTACK you! It even can become organized - sorta chaos theory in reverse!
The Internet is a marvelous ‘weapon’ but it is much more insidious than real life on it’s downsides.....but you already know that I am sure. When you can not see and face your enemy, the only marginal scenario is to kill them with kindness - and at some point eliminate them if need be. Even if you could face them head on, would it be worth the time or effort...doubtful! The ‘baddies’ are just like a cancer - allow them healthy ‘cells’ to attack they thrive. Take away the meal and they surely will dwindle and disappear.
Year 2000 wasn’t very great to me - but I tend to keep everything inside - I still don’t have the scenario of Dave’s paradigm change of life from Alabama to UK straight in my mind (I didn't say straight - LOL). Tim I know not at all except that he is a funny, smart, clever fella from Oz - and I think the “from this to this” on your web page is anything but ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! HUG u wombat - I love those wombats - LOL.
Dave I know a little better, and what I know is he has loads of talent and he “overcomes”!
So if echat folds tomorrow - YOU two are and have been and will be a success as people (together and apart).Reading your journals is an experience I cherish - thanks for the sharing!
I look with fondness and admiration at the pics of you two....you have both already contributed to the world and not taken from it. That’s remarkable don’t you both know ....well relish the fact of personal fulfillment and success and allow that to carry your echat project through the rough spots and past the misery of other people's lives who have to tear down in order to literally survive.
I miss you both.I miss not having someone in my life.Alone and lonely - different, words and times: yet alike.
I know this sounds very preachy - but I wanted to say THANK YOU!
....and this was the way my mind spun out the words. With admiration and fondness and hugs to you both....
xxxx
We’re all busy - you need not answer.... MOOD: inexplicable -----
MUSIC: real kids playing downstairs so I don’t have a hope without headphones......LOL
sorry - not clever enough to type like i talk - lol - just plain english like for school

2:12 pm - The Joys of Business
|
I've not spent much time in eChat today, instead I've surfed for chatware and thru hundreds of affiliate programs, you know, those ones that offer payment for showing their ads on your site. There was a common thread wiv all of these programs, if you have traffic they'll sign you up and pay reasonably well. If you don't have traffic they aren't interested.
I know the traffic we get and I know we sure don't fit into 'sign up' catagory, but I wonder if you're just starting a site how could u use these affiliate programs without knowing what traffic you're going to have?
This all come about by our only paying sponsor dis-continuing its pay program. This don't mean a great deal in reality cos we've only earned $6.00 in just on 3 months anyway.
What it has done is made me think about the whole thing, we need to earn at least $85.00 a month to cover just the connection cost and I honestly can't see us getting that. I'm also unsure if the software we're using is the cause of so few ppl actually coming in and using us. I'm kinda wondering if the environment of eChat is what ppl really want?
With these doubts in mind I spoke wiv my 'Rome wasn't built in a day' business manager (dad) and talked thru what we've done, what we're doing and what we want. After several mmm's, a few nods and the occasional shake of the head, a couple of undescribable facial contortions and a pat on the head to finish up, the decisions he left me to make were the same as what I started wiv.
So I guess we've come this far and we need to carry on and hope it improves wiv the new software if is doesn't well we reconsider then.
I can share this though:
Domain name and registration $298.00 Web hosting per annum $349.00 ADSL connection fee $268.00 Monthly ADSL charges $ 85.00 Meeting old and new friends PRICELESS!
hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz :o)

3:32 pm - A funny thing happened on the way to the ....................
|
On my way to skewl today I catch my train and sat next to a well dressed businessmen. He looked at me and asked if I'd like to play a game. Me thinks 'yea right' and politely said no, but the guy goes ahead and explained the game anyway. He sez, ""It goes like this: I will ask you a question and if you get it wrong you will give me $5, then u ask me one and vice-versa.""
I said no again, and just looked out the window. The guy kept on asking and said, ""I'll give you $50 for each question?""
Well $50 seemed fair enuff, so I agreed.
The guy explained it again, ""If you get my question wrong you give me $5, then you ask your question, if I get it wrong, I will give you $50.
""Okies,"" sez me. He sez, ""Who was the sixth Prime Minister of Australia?"" pfffff stoopid me didn't know so I had to give him $5. Then it was my turn, so I sez, ""What has purple legs, five arms and only two yellow teeth?""
The business guy don't know does he (giggle) so he uses his laptop, checks the internet, emails his friends. No one knows the answer. So he had to give me $50.00, YAY!! for me. Then, just as we pulled into my station, business guy sez, ""What was that thing anyway?"" I had a bit of a think for a few seconds, shrugged me shoulders, gave him $5 and got off the train.

4:13 pm - HOW MUCH CAN A KOALA BEAR!
|
G'day,
Well my weekend is coming to an end, I spent a fair bit of time in eChat! and continued on building the new look site. I've got all the templates and pages done and I'm slowly adding content, I decided not to add the new chat program cos theres a 5 second delay between typing and the words appearing. I fugured this would be more of a put off than our current stuff so I guess we'll just wait until nifty nev can get to it.
Joel has been doing a lot of back scene stuff for us including our own sorta facelink pages which ppl can include some details about themselves. When its done ppl can click on a thumbnail in the members gallery and go to the bio in a new window kewl eh! YAY!! for joel
I had another idea today, on the new site I'm going to include a section called 'OMG, DID I SAY THAT' whats that u ask? well during chat some really funny things are said that not everyone sees so its goin to be an area just for those moments. What made u think of that u ask? welllllll ....... during chat today the convo got on to PK and doin drag ............. hang on I'll paste it and u can see for yourselves:
Sammy I've got as far as wearin mums knickers, but thats all Guy lol Luke LOL sam jared lmao Timbo agggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh sammy Sammy Tim, before u copy that, it was a joke mr!!! Sammy hahaha Luke LMAO Timbo to late mate! Guy thing is....he was wearing them on his head Sammy aggghhhhhhhhh Chris sure....yeah...Joke Luke HAHAHA jared lol Chris (Freudian slip) Timbo hahahaha Sammy *burys himself knee deep in shit*
see what I mean? heheheehehe
Okies, I'll get outta here, thanx to everyone who commented in my whinge posting this week and mega thanks to our moderators and supporters in eChat!

6:55 pm - Waiha tona takiw?
|
Well, time for one of my irregular updates. I started back at skewl this week, fairly ordinary we sorted out schedules, assignments, sport and free time, all in all a good final year ahead I hope.
I'm starting to get a lil down wiv eChat! just now, I'm questioning if it's really worth the effort me and dave have and continue to put into it. We have a lot of support from some of u guys and honestly its really appreciated, neither of us expect anymore other than some support so mega hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzz to each and everyone of you.
Our software/server problems continue and we really are doin everything we can to fix 'em, I do wanna stress that we can only do so much with our limited resources. As Buddha is my witness theres not a single hour goes by I don't think of what we can do to make eChat! a better place for ppl.
I also want to respond to some crititism we've received and respond as best I can:
quote "eChat is already over commercialised" answer: total earnings from our over commercialisation $6, yup $6, go figure?
quote "eChat is down more than its up" answer: over 1100 hrs up compared to less than 25 hrs down, go figure
Finally I need to respond to sumthin that was said to me in eChat! I was called egotistical and that beleive it or not quite hurt me.
e?go?tist (g-tst, g-) n.
1. A conceited, boastful person. 2. A selfish, self-centered person.
I never have been, nor will I ever be egotistical.
I get down? yup. I get angry? yup. My mouth kicks into gear before my brain sometimes? yup. I say things which I later regret? yup.
Conceited? nope. Boastful? nope. Selfish? nope. Self-centered? nope.
Proud, confident with a feeling of achievement, yup! u better beleive it. (thanx hon)

2:59 pm - Another week ends
|
Well I have a lil time so I can make a quick entry here. Has been a shit of a week really, had lotsa tech probs wiv eChat! I've upgraded to Windows 2000 which is NT based to see if that solves the problems that ppl been having, so far it hasn't so I just dunno. Its built exactly to chatspace specs now so I guess it wasn't Windows ME that was at fault. Then we lost our adsl link which wasn't our doin, that had us offline for a few hours. Then to top off the week, some tranny managed to hijack our IP and ppl clicking the eChat link were goin to her page and not the chatrooms, would be funny if it wasn't so serious. I dunno what ppl must've been thinking, it was a shocker of a site too, she has no colour sense. I hope someone else dresses her when she throws on a frock.
Like dave, I been sorta told I have to spend less time online and get out more, dads kewl so I do as he sez and I stay off the puter as much as I can when I'm home, I get out a lot to a mates place now, he has a pool so I go swimming wiv him, oh, he has a puter too heheheehheheh. We'll keep that between ourselves eh!
What else been happening, oh, I've been snorkelling over on Stradbroke Island which is a great place in Moreton Bay, takes about an hour to get there from my place. I go to Point Lookout, some good rock areas there to swim wiv the fishies and there's thousands of em too every colour u could think of. I've tried surfing and I manage to stay on the board, keep my balance just fine until I put it in the water, needs a bit more work there I think heheheh.
Well I'm heading off out for a whiles its a great day here mid 30's C gonna swim a whiles and do some chatting a lil laters. Come chat wiv us sometime, see ya'll laters.

10:32 am - Happy New Year
|
G'day ya'll, jeez I been coping some flak about my first journal, I thought it was deep, meaningful and to the point, others didn't ..... apparently. Oh well lets see how this one goes. 'k Ive worked out the double spacing adds some depth, this is important, makes it look like I have a lot to say when I haven't. So after today I'll do my journal in notepad and paste it here.
It seems that now is a time to reflect on the previous year ................................................................................. ok, wasn't to bad.
What else was there? hehehehe sorry just bein silly, 2000 was a good year for me, had a few probs in the early part but have not looked back since I stopped going to a certain chat room. My friendship with Dave just keeps getting stronger and stronger and those of you that know us will understand why. I have managed to keep up with a lot of the goings on with my friends through their journals, I've seen some real dumb ass stuff but in the main its been good reading. Some of you guys are just brilliant writers, you've made me laff, cry, smile and grrrrr all at the same time.
What will 2001 bring? I guess eChat! will keep me busy, its a lil slow right now but we'll persevere, I've made some new friends in there and caught up with some old ones, thanx guys hugxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
It's my final year at skewl and I'm sure my future is going to be in the IT industry, I seem to have developed a knack for it and I pick it up fairly quickly so we'll see if the gurus can actually teach me cos its all trial and error so far :o) the other good thing wiv IT is it gives ya the opportunity to travel and thats sumthin I really have to do.
Okies, this is all to much at the moment, I have a stack of other stuff I should be doing so I'd better scoot. I hope everyone of you has a great 2001 and I look forward to seeing you in eChat! when you have the chance, hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz
current mood: accomplished
