ok, so I am in Denver currently, things are good. I have an uncle out here who has two adopted children. Them being adopted is totally beside the point, the point is, though, that these children are 5 and 2 respectively. They cry and whine all the time! Kids need so much attention. You are always feeding them this or changing that etc etc. We went to an outdoor Ice Sculpture gallery on Saturday and one of the little ones went along while the other stayed at home. He dragged us (actually correct English I believe - rather than "drug us") way too quickly past the works of art and we had to constantly be watching so that he wouldn't be "abducted" or "kidnapped" or something ridiculous like that. If kidnappers knew how annoying little kids are surely they wouldn't want them! Go ahead, take my kids, you'll want to give back soon anyway...maybe that's a little over the top. Anyway, I realized I am not ready for children yet though someday I do think I would enjoy the task. David, I assume some of your actions in married life could lead to such ends and I warn you: Be you cautious whenst thou till thine fertile ground. (KJV)

Yesterday I walked for about an hour and a half to the local public library to which I now own a bright shiny new library card. I found and read a Seinfeld script for "The Statue" episode and enjoyed my jog home and the shower that followed.

Also this to all those interested:

I am 24 as of Saturday, January 28th. When are everyone else's birth dates (so that I may send large amounts of money to aid in celebration*).

Love,

mark


* "large amounts" should not be construded to mean more than one (1) dollar US currency at it's current market value - date: January 31, 2006.

"its really not that big a deal - like 2 years ago he had this contest where whoever is the umpteenth caller and yells 'free pizza at a certain time gets a free pizza...and basically, ever since, whenever we get drunk someone ends up calling his room and yelling this - so far tonight it has happened twice - but he has to answer, cause it could be a fire alarm....now that i think about it, we've been pretty huge assholes, but i gotta admit, when he said he was tracing our call and we knew he couldn't, it was fricking hilarious"

when we were young and attractive....

Oh those glorious days, check out this picture, I laughed out loud for a long moment,





how about an update on life in a serious job from Thushan? Is it bringing you all the chicks you hoped it would? Tell me more, tell me more (to the tune of Summer Nights from the Grease SndTrk).

whatever

I suppose if those of you in the area care, I may have written something for the record this week, blah blah blah....whatever.

Rent paying

I like being able to pay rent. But it is making me tired and I would prefer it if someone would pay it for me.

an answer for mark

I can't really offer any other helpful suggestions than Andy did...except maybe will fewer profanities. I mean, I pretty much just kinda stumbled into everything.

Some luck might help you out.

For DAVID

Hey David,

Do you still have a copy of that letter I sent to Columbia House in high school? I know you had it on your comp. last year...could you email me a word file of that? andrewlk@goshen.edu
That would be awesome.

Thanks,

Andy

Told 'em to go f*** themselves.

You know what gc just tried to do to me? They tried to tell me that cause I only got 5 credits, now I need to move my a** off campus cause I don't meet the gd oncampus credit requirements. Well I fired an email right back an' told 'em to go f*** themselves. Yeah, they obviously didn't know who the f*** they were dealin' with 'cause they listened the f*** up. That's right, they made a big f***in' exception. The way i figger, I'm payin' almost as much to live on campus as I'm paying for the act'l classes - It's like a gd gift people!! How unf***ing grateful does an institution gotta be? F***! In addition, I already got myself 157 gd credits. It's like they're coming up with everything short of a lawsuit to bleed my a** dry. GD!

P.S. Mark, I know nothing about girls, never have and percieve to never will. I apologize for giving you the wrong f***in' impression.

There comes a time in every man's life when he must ask David Helmuth a question. "What advice can you bestow upon me about long distance relationships and making them work?"

Some men follow their "liked" ones where they venture, others deliberately destine themselves in the opposite direction. Where bears that line in the sand where one must say "she is in Bolivia, that is close enough, twer she be in Chile, there I say nay, tis the season to be jolly and that is too far." I revel with loss of speech at such dastardly ideas as that of those parching months apart, yet I have viewed with mine own eyes that the payoff can be so rewarding that the ideal committed relationship we all long for ceases to tease us arrogantly. For succeeding in this challenge I congratulate you David N Helmuth, your reward though comes as a second challenge: Can you find it in your heart, balding and unimpressionable, to tell me how you smitted latitude and longitude for so many months.

On another note, I'm in Denver, Nathan's going into the Hospital on Monday I think, Steve there is something amazing about being in a place where nobody knows your name and the chances of you meeting anyone again are so small that things that fear most mild mannered men do not fear those of us who would normally shy from pitabread. I think someday you will live in a place like this and you will like it. I hope to too.

David, what'd ya say?


Andy, you to have been doing the Long Distance Thing (LDT) what advice can you give?
