Tammy	Nov 21 2007 9:16 PM Be Thankful By Author Unknown Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference. It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
Ainslie Henderson	Jul 29 2007 10:58 PM hey jeremy, hope you're well. please forgive another shameless plug, i thought it would be nice to go round everyone individually to spread the word...

'flowers' is also available on cd from ainsliemusic.com (all copies sold through the site are signed and i ship worldwide), all branches of beanscene and edinburgh branches of hmv.
SHANNAN	Jul 28 2007 5:43 AM HEY IT WAS GOOD SEEING YOU THE OTHER DAY I HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOING GOOD. WELL I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON. LOVE YOUR SISTER, SHANNAN
Travis Michael (LoSo)	Jul 13 2007 5:45 PM She said she preferred handsome men, but for me she would make an exception - - - I am quite sure if I write a direct message I will certainly sound like a ditty school girl and sadly (it is quite in with the boys who should be men of 20 something life) I no longer think I refuse my manhood…Whatever that means…Anyway…I wrote a long letter an I could copy it but now I told you so…hmmm…just thank you…you helped me realize that being who I was nothing to be ashamed off…male, fill in _____, whatever…You made life seem boundless despite my meager hand…even in my short acquaintance with you mad existence seem worth putting up with just to see what could happen, even if its something worse then a dream that never comes true… again, thanks and forgive the shortness but it keeps me from quoting tool or Cohen (and thank you for those songs, older stuff kicked my ass) or making an epitaph out of a thank you…so yeah…thank you and I wish you the best…and plus, thanks for putting up with my manic self and seeing past it… Believe you until I’m thirty, Travis

Grim	May 2 2007 9:11 PM Hello once again... I'm just stopping by to see how things are going on your corner of the net. Most of us are locked down into this society. We're wage-slaves, prisoners of our own design, anchored, and robbed of our dreams. We must dissent, we must rebel, we must disobey, we must ask questions, and we must wake up. Look past the 'truth', journey down the rabbit hole, and journey with me to wherever me may go. Our world, our society, and our culture are broken. Only we can set things right. Imagine, Hail Eris, Fuck em if they can't take a joke, and don't ever back down. -peace
