RE: ".Sunrise doesn't last all morning."BEATNUT
I haven't been here for a long time, but I heard about the news in another place. I'm totally shocked. Even though Mike and I disagreed a lot and we got into arguments, I still liked him a lot. He could be a really nice guy, and I would have liked to have met him. My thoughts go out to his family. RIP sweet Nutty.

RE: What Concerts are you going to this year?
The only concerts I'm going to see are ones at Thursday at the Square, because they're free. I'd love to see Morrissey if he came to Buffalo though. *sigh*

RE: Is Poverty eradicated yet?
I know what I said sounded very materialistic, but that's how I feel. I know Tripping will probably say "So a $12,000 goodie bag is a thank you gift? If they gave me that I'd decline it because the Live 8 concert is supposed to be FREE and noone should be thanked for donating their time."

thank you audrey. Donation is key here. If sponsors did that, it has nothing to do with the spirit the artist entended.
Well maybe someone should have stepped up to the plate and saw the hypocrisy of it and asked instead of goody bags for rich people, donations of vaccinations, etc., be done for the people in need instead.
And this effects you personally, how? They donated their time, so what if they got goody bags? They might have given their goody bags to charities or something else. I don't think it's our business what they did with them. They donated their time and they could have asked to be paid for the concerts.
They could have asked to have been paid? Every performer up there got their pay in gold by the exposure they got. It is my opinion that it is a huge hypocrisy to stand up there and sing for the world to help the poor and the starving and walk out the back door with $12,000 worth of goodies. And if people can't see the hypocrisy in that...it just proves what a joke these things are and they are put on more so people can stroke their own backs that they are doing something....and then get in the limo to see what fun stuff $12,000 got them for showing up.
IMHO, I think it was a good idea for them to get goodies because it's telling them "thank you for donating your time and money". If I did that I'd be happy to have something of appreciation for donating my time and money. I just don't freaking see the big deal of it. Almost anytime I've donated my time I have gotten small gifts of appreciation (mainly food). I guess the next time I volunteer I'll decline and say, "No thanks, I don't need the appreciation.". That doesn't sound right to me for some reason. It seems so rude and cold hearted to decline a thank you gift.

RE: XTC
XTC, did someone say XTC? I like them, NOT because they sound like The Beatles, heck sometimes they sound like the Beach Boys and Pink Floyd. Andy Partridge is a pure freaking genius. I've been a fan of theirs since 1989.

RE: My VIP Live 8 experience.
Lauren, if you can't scan the photos could you find someone else to scan them for you, or do you have a place near you that scans photos for a small price? It would be cool to see those pictures. Oh I'd die to have been there to see Paul and Pink Floyd. Oh and The Who too.

I've got ESP, I knew yesterday I'd post at Macca's today
Greg, I knew you were going to say that.

RE: Post Anything You Want Thread!
ESP is extra scensory perspection. That means you can sense something is going to happen before it happens. (I think that's the correct ddefinition)

RE: Post Anything You Want Thread!
Have you ever had an ESP experience? I just had one. I was just listening to That Modern Rock Show on WFDU (online), and they played Blondie's "Dreaming" . Well, after the song was over I said to myself out loud, "I bet the next song will be from XTC." And low and behold it was "Life Begins at the Hop" by XTC. I amost fell off my chair.

Yeah and it's supposed to be a bad weekend weatherwise near her. I'm not saying her name, but she's a wonderful friend. She's probably getting drunk right now.

RE: Bar's open, drinks for everyone!!!
Can I have a Guinness? I just found out one of my closest friends is getting her electric shut off tonight and I wish I could do something. She is going through so much, and she lives in VA, wish I could travel to her and bring her and her kids back here.

yup.. You know what. i think i have had ENOUGH of this board! People really f**king piss me off you know... HELLO.. REAL PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN!!!
Oh anna. I know certain people here piss me off too. But I need a drink right now because I haven't heard from Geoff in over a week and I'm getting upset he's not coming tomorrow. I e-mailed him but no response. He told me last week his aunt was dying and he wasn't sure, but you would think he would notify me if he wasn't coming. I have a feeling I have been taken advantage of. *growl* I want to give him the benefit of the doubt though. *sigh*

For lunch I had New England style clam chowder and a peanut butter and cream scheese sandwich (it sound gross, but it's good)

RE: GMail accounts / Cuentas de GMail...
For some reason I never got any notification from Gmail. I checked both my regular mail and Spam filter at Yahoo, but I don't know if Gmail hates Yahoo. For anyone with Gmail accounts my e-mail is mfanton99@yahoo.com I'm interested.
