Hey Skenvoy. It's FordPrefict_42. I'm sorry that I haven't replied to you earlier, but my life's been kinda crazy lately. I recently lost my job (which turned out to be a good thing).... I am proud to announce that I am the father of a beautiful baby girl. My fiance and I named her Destiny Angel. I must say that having her around has really changed my outlook on life.
Yes, I've read the Guide and Restaurant at the End of the Universe (When did that happen?!? In a few minutes...) and I belive it's a tie at this point in time as to which is my fav.
I believe I've already made some friends in the community. Well, maybe not friends.... But at least I'm not being ignored. And it's not that I feel the need to get drunk... What wrong with being drunk?!? Ask a glass of water... ... Back to the subject of the Guide, I have the TV show on tape and can't wait for the movie....... Sorry to hear about Douglas Adams passing away...... Oh well. Enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think about me?!?
Talk to ya later. Flip ya on the catch side.

Good to see that someone is trying to make something of themself. Make sure that you live life... And not meerly exist. The 3 smartest sentences ever uttered were:
"To be or not to be?!?" William Shakespeare
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around, you could miss it." Ferris Bueller
"Measure twice. Cut once." Mr. Obermeyer... My high school woodshop teacher
I believe that Shakespeare meant more than just to live or die... Even though that is what he said. Most people go through their whole lives, and never TRULY live. Many of them can give you multiple encounters of near-death experiences... But how many of them have had near-life experiences?!? To live or just exist?!? That is the question...
I don't think Matthew Brodrick needs any help from me. It's pretty self explanatory... Everyone should LITERALLY stop and smell the roses from time to time.
And, OK, Mr. Obermeyer stole that one... But it still rings true. If everyone thought twice and acted once, everyone would have alot fewer problems. There ARE consequences to every action... Slight or defined.
Just something to think on for you...
And, thank you for the note of congradulation.... But I didn't do much of anything. I met a pretty girl, fell in love, had sex, and SHE had a baby. I stood by her side in the delivery room, if that stands for anything. She is much stronger than I. And our baby is so precious. Yep. I'm a family man.... And proud of it!!!
Catch ya later...

Well I've nearly finished my applications to University, hopefully by the end of Monday it will all be done and out of the way
How has your week been? The past few days I've been quite tired, and found I couldn't concentrate on a lot of things at school. Luckily none of the tachers asked me any difficult questions! Hopefully I'll be able to sleep it off this weekend and be back to normal for next week!
I've just seen your post in the convo about supernatural beings etc and I agree with you on your points about how people chose to live life and what they choose to believe in. I've been thinking about things like that a lot recently, partialy as I want to do Philosophy at University, partially because it just interests me.

I was fortunate enough to study under some of the greatest teachers anyone could hope for.... Unfortunately, everyone else could too. The watch alot of movies and TV. That's where I learned the bulk of my knowledge. ("If I've learned anything in all my years, it's that learning things never taught me anything." - Yellow Beard) ("I guess we just had a near-life experience?!?" - Fight Club).... So... A philosophy major, huh?!? That would put you in a league with Bruce Lee. A student of human nature, existence and/or life, and the stupidity of mankind. People are funny. Watch them. You'll see what I mean. Glad I'm not one of them. I say this because people also $UCK!!! Oh well... G2G.. Talk at ya later. I'll leave you with this thought....
(I don't know who this THEY are, but THEY say that if the first two statements are true, then the third must be as well... So)
Noone is perfect.... I am noone...Therefore.... I AM PERFECT!!!
