You need at least a couple of my infamous martinis.

Y'see: Ed is just being /you/. Mockingly "doing" you
(and me and everybody else,) anyway. Talk, talk, talk.
There's a mouldy-oldy Rock 'n Roll song called just that:
"Talk Talk" (Alice Cooper covered it nicely in his
Flush The Fashion album.)

I suggest you chill, take a deep breath, and enjoy
what's left of your life. And enjoy Ed's pronouncements
from a different approach. There's a word -- I'm not sure
if its "humility" or "humbleness", but it has to do with
not trying to stand taller than we really are. And a
bunch of words makes a lousy platform to stand on. That's
what Ed's been trying to get through your thick skull.
Standing on soapboxes and spouting-off drivel is a waste
of time, even if it momentarily makes you feel good, like
some kind of drug. You're tripping over your own ego like
loose shoelaces, because Ed affronts your ego.

Screw ego.

"Free your mind, and your ass will follow."

At any rate, I'd really appreciate it if you'd just shuddup
and stop clogging my diskspace.

Or wheat beer - what a heathen!

Why bother with other forms of consumable alcohol, when there is so much
beer available?

I do like beer, have often visited breweries around the world in my
travels and even make beer in the winter, but I am not a big fan of
wheat beer preferring my wheat to come in the form of flakes (read
Wheaties). - Jim McNamara

of the stuff.

1187 on my recumbent and rest (the majority) on my upright (real
bike).

It is OK to have sex solely for the purpose of procreation. Any other
purpose is a mortal sin and deserving of everlasting hell fire.

I urge you to read the lives of the Saints. There you will discover all you
will ever need to know about Saintliness.

By the way, it is better to marry than to burn, but the single life is best.
It is why the Roman Catholic Church is as great as it used to be. A married
clergy is an abomination, something that only heretical Protestants are
capable of. Well, let's face it, not everyone can be a Great Saint like ME!

I don't think that'll happen unless he has been dreaming of water.
I lost two friends recently, who both dreamt of water at about the same
time.

One of them, Julia and I had been watching Carnivale and exchanging notes on
it.
They were showing the season finale then.

Ironic in that the show is about creatures of dark and light. Stars the
little guy that was in all the David Lynch movies. The show is equally
inscrutable.

The show dwells on christian symbolism, but that is all I will tell you in
case you ever have the opportunity to watch it.

I will tell you there was a scene where Father Justin aka Evil Russian
Rasputin type is baptizing his flock. He wears black, usually, like an
Orthodox priest's cassock. But he and his sheep wear the typical white
Baptist choir robes.

I dreamt about water the same exact week that they did. ONly I am still
alive

This is in my dream. I see myself getting excited about being baptized.

In another scene in the show, Justin's sister, Iris, leaves an axe on his
pillow to freak him out, to make him worry about his security.

I find in my dream that I am being baptized by an ax.

from a typical dream book

Baptism
Immersion in water represents death, whereas emergence signifies
resurrection and
a new life. You have let go of your old negative you and this new you will
likely
be successful.

On a spiritual note, this dream signifies your renewed faith in God and that
you
are coming closer to self-realization and spiritual fulfillment.

that all three of us had essentially related dreams in what feels like the
same time is sort of interesting, no
