h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have added you to my list of personal friends. In fact you are the only person in that list at present. I have not had time to read all your journal entries, yet, but the one I did read, your latest one I think, where-in you sounded desperate to give up smoking{what?} and drinking sounded large. I wrote this after posting my reply to your latest response to the "understanding self" conversation; hence I hope the advice there-in did not come accross as patronising. Are yo an Alcholoic or just a little melancholic at present?

Na, I haven't made it to that point. A babby step above casual. It's been a bad bad last two years. Not that bad I guess, I'm kinda melodramitic. A phase.

Haven't read understanding self post yet.

Just posted to understanding self and now this. Glad to here you are only taking baby steps down the oblivon road; well done as it sounds as though you have been through a biannual horibilis (as "her majesty" might explain).
My nightmare began in 1994 when "The X" took off with our children.
They are almost adult now, so not long before they are banging on the door looking for answers. It is such a shame that children are held to ransom for their parents behaviour. Of course it is later, when they are adults, that the children of divorce (which is hatred by another name) truly show their affectance: most times unpleasantly.

In this England the law is about status quo; which means blatantly supporting the Mothers stance, whether she is a fit parent or not. B this route mediocre politicians gain the burgeoning single parent vote which is powerful enough to give blah the prime ministership and, even more sinisterly, destroy the fundamental rules of civilisation so long strove for by generations of people persuing intelligent life.
Your country has persued witch hunts against individuals and states for less!

Mine is the oposite, my ex bailed leaveing me w/ two small children. I, we, do just fine. I spend a LOT of time playin house. It's worth it.

And, yes, in the states fathers have just as many rights as the mother, the difference here is that most men dont want them.

Sorry have`nt ben in touch for a while: java and inhuries combined!

...It obviously aint just one sex that does the bail out, as you more or less classified what is effectively desertion; I supose the big difference is that ladies are most likely to bail out with the children.
Genetics prove that around half of women with children have the mothering gene, so the factor which has the greater part of child abductions can`t necessarily be anything to do with maternal love.
In England it is mostly to do with money, or, next best, it is a desire to look cool about things. Modern life is all about what is cool rather than what is true. This accounts for most of the stories...
Anyway I feel you should know that if your circumstances are as you say that I hope things pan out for you, as I am sure they will.
The sad part about being the victim(s), ie. being the deserted one(s) is living through the years it takes to regain self respect. It isn`t quite the same for children if they are involved, at least not until much later, if at all; although it is noticed by statisticians that children raised in sole parentships are disadvantaged in several diverse ways all affecting of their esteem.
You are very lucky. You have your children and I hope their love, which is priceless and worth infinitely more than any disloyal rascal or their like,
b(y) f(or) n(ow)

My kiddies probably still get alot more advantages than alot of other children (in ways). They have my full attention and divotion. I'm srue there will be reprocutions down the road, my hope is they will be balanced out by the good things I am able to give em.
Things are so outa whack they'll probably never be rite again(my life not my ex).
Besides it's gotta be better to have a happy home than a broken home.

What a horribly depressing topic. I would rather discuss politics, and I hate poiltics. How about......music, what kinda music do you like, your very favorite.

I like music with a tune, preferably no words and certainly not really love songs! I still think the seventies soul and funk scene is unbeateble for excellence and Mozart and me wouldhave ben right good buddies.

I diddn't realy dig mozart too much, some of it. For some reason beethoven stole my heart.

Lyrics are often my favorite part of a song, I pretend to be a poet from time to time. The power of words is greatly underestamated. They can bring love as quickly as they can take it away. That's rite I said love, can you imagine anything more powerfull(now, now, don't go getting scientific on me, I already know the answers) I suppose I should be more specific and say an emotion more powerfull. snicker snicker.

Beethoven, yes I do like him and most of the other classical guys with a tune; and rakhmaninov (I hope that is how you spell it), who wasn't all that tuneful, but...

Love? I never go into that! Skakespeare wrote
"Let us not as true minds admit impediments;
love is not love which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with remover to remove,
oh no, its an ever fixed mark,
Star to every wandering barque... excerpt from sonnet 126

For me those lines just about sum it up. (STORY IS HE WROTE THEM FOR A BLOKE HE FELL FOR! whether that is true or just malicious gossip I do not know... but hey are incredible sentiments expressed there so what he hell.

Anyway I do not ant you to imagine I am a heartless so and so, so I will admit to you that yes, I do enjoy well put together love songs.

I will get round to the images I am to send you presently. Most of the files are large in size, so I will have to rework some slightly.
Give me a couple of days or so... am right in the middle other stuff at present, including more Adventer (part 3) and my Soul mission is on again, oh god and yes the sun has come out (at last) so there is the matter of swimming and all of that, wel its only for a short period o the year! From now on I will answer all our correspondance using this 'personal friends' thread. I hope you do not mind. I am just overwhelmed with wok at present.

Hope your kids and you have joy, bfn, st.

I don't think I have a lot of storage there so I'll clean it out to make as much as possible. I'll be sure to check out Adventer(part3) ,I'm sure it will be very detailed, I'll get back to you when I finish.

Actually me and my kids have been passing around strep throat, which is a real joy in a perverse we got to stay home together for a few days way. I was told zinc would boost my imune sys but it dosent seem to be working.?.

Adult swim started you better get!

Not much of a friend am I... its ben two weeks or so! I'm sorry; life catching up and all that.
I am about to mail you one or two things; nothing system blowing or software bending. just interesting things. (I hope you will find.

will include a note. b. f. n. {hope.you and children.ok}
