Do you ever cuddle with him? Maybe he does it cause the movie makes you sad, and he can hold you while you cry...

Yes she is. And I'[m glad you're seeing someone that can help you.

Be careful that she doesn't try to fix every weird thing about you, though.

And now that I am one post away from hitting 1,000, I will tell you that I am retiring for the night.

And since I closed tonight and got home at ten and I have to open tomarrow and go in at seven in the morning, I don't plan on being here much if at all tomarrow. So maybe I'll see you all next Saturday.

But goodnight to you all.

I am jumping of joy with you, Sarah!

Title: Nothing Else Matters


So close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters

Thanks Chuck and SleepyDragon for setting the tone for the day. PRIMAL. Great videos, great music. PRIMAL it is then.

Here is my contribution to PRIMAL.

Does anyone else like to read more than they like to see the videos?
just a preference, not the context of the videos, just the media.

just wonderin'

Chuck, the words you provided "Nothing Else Matters" really seem to say how I feel about our cafe and the people in it. Especially the following:

Something new every day. They are quite beautiful lyrics. Now, on the other hand, my Alice in Chains "The Angry Chair" doesn't really have much to do with the cafe, and I'm not even crazy about the lyrics, but the music, IMO is about as primal as it gets.
This verse intrigued me:


I guess what I'm saying is, for me, IT'S ALL GOOD. When people post videos I feel like we're sitting around the cafe groovin' on good "tunes", sharing our favorites, like people do in RL when they drop some coins in the jukebox in the local pub (insert any other scenario where friends share music that turns them on) and hope the other patrons will enjoy it as much as they do.

Yeah, I mostly like to read. I've wondered at times if that is an aspie thing since most folks around me are always hot to look at videos whether on a discussion board, you-tube or on the news. I probably look at one video a week at the most.

Call me an electronic Luddite.

I don't think I'll ever grow up!
I loved "Show and Tell" as a kid, and still do.
So "show", "tell", "express" , or "whatever".
All of the above or some of any the above.
I enjoy anything anyone wants to write or share,
in whatever format each chooses to use.
I enjoy Mescalero stopping by sharing his music,
richie lurking and stimming and presenting
mesmerizing tunes. Postie's family photos.
lol cat pics and captions. Words of wisdom and
rants of the day. Solutions offered to another's
problems. Tales of how one's day went. Lau's astronomical
astronomological prognostications and photos. Discussions of the worst
political crimes we have ever committed. Determining
which polish best shines land mines. Drummings, African
music, member music, ...well heck - member pictures,
and member musings and humor of any sort.
Rating the best way to dispose of a dead neighbor left at your
back door by a pack of stray coyotes that you don't in any way,
shape, form, or fashion own. And Alice in Chains.
And soon to be congrats to Morning After. And everything else.
It's all good!

My inquiring mind needs to know:

If you were reincarnated as a Ouija board
would you spend your days giving the world
important messages, or declaring the
crystal ball on the table a "fake"?

A Peking duck cannot stop a bullet.
(don't ask me how I know).
Wearing Peking duck armor in a war zone
may not be pointless, however.
Could buy you some time
due to the
"...?!?!... what the...?
Is he/she wearing Peking duck armor?!?"
factor.

Antarctic ducks will stop bullets.
So long as they don't thaw.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

I don't do most of the video's for the same reason I don't spend much time on utube...it is to time consuming. It already takes me a long time to do all the things I like to do on-line and I read faster then I can watch a video. I do like it when people give links to interesting articles and can "waste" hours getting caught up in links to those links....like news stories or research articles.


At least I "think" that is why I don't like them much. Another reason might be that music is just to emotionally loaded and can leave me "feeling"...something I mostly try to avoid. I know in the punk community, sharing music was a way to bond and a way to up your status..."Hey, look at this new band I discovered." ...It was great for me because I could never afford to buy music, so I got tot make a lot of tapes from other peoples "finds". I used to do the same things with books, but few people really like reading, so...kind of disappointing.


I think the main reason I am addicted to WP is to give advice to new members....I think psychologically it helps me feel like I am trying to help "the person I use to be" that didn't have anyone to talk to or help me, especially in the parents forum. I am speaking up for the child who didn't know how to say what I needed or how I felt.

I also love to come here and read what everyone is doing...it makes me feel connected to something outside my head. Maybe the same reason that some people get hooked on certain characters in TV shows...thats why I get upset when certain people aren't posting anything....I miss them, how are they ? Where are they...why aren't they on my book case in the spot they belong ?



Sam, yes I work Fri, Sat, Sun overnights...9pm to 9:30am, then sleep most of Monday day and night then spend the next 3 days on the computer. When I work, I mostly just go from my car to my job to my car to my apt. so it's not like I'm actually "getting out". I'm just switching one isolated environment for another. I would like to get another job but am "stuck" right now. I look for job openings and see some "possible ones" but then I keep finding things wrong with the job or get to scared to apply. I have such a hard time with change and it's like I am missing the energy to make such a huge leap of faith. Sometimes I need to be "pushed" but even then I waste energy fighting back against the push...(drove my parents nuts).

The basic tenet of Callahan's Place, in Spider Robinson's stories, is: "Shared pain is lessened, shared joy increased."

Feel free to lessen the pain, my friend.
