LW~a quick wave back to you! Glad to see you're still around here. And thanks again (CareBear and LW) for all your kind words! It really made my day when I saw this article here, etc. Hope to chat with you soon! ~MP P.S. And a great big hello to all the other really cool JU folks I mentioned before! Looks like the Capt has been rather busy himself lately, huh? .
Hey, I am still alive and everything! . Just totally busy with all the usual "real life" stuff. Plus I was sorta stuck in bed for close to a week with one of the worst colds I ever had. But I'm all better now (that Theraflu hot drink stuff really performs a miracle on you!). Anyways, I do check in here for a few moments when I can, etc. I miss you and so many of my other favorite JU bloggers big time! Thanks for thinking of
CareBear~I didn't forget about you or anything. It's just that I am not online all that much anymore, so pretty much what I am doing these days is taking a quick peek at the blogging section on JU, and leaving one or two comments if I find some of my favorite bloggers there, etc. Alas, my days of spending 8-10 hours on JU are a thing of the past. I am totally lucky now if I am able to hang out here for more than 30 minutes! . So ple
Happy Friendship Day to you too! I think it is really cool that you came up with this blog. Very friendly and thoughtful of you, etc. Hope to chat with you again soon! ~MadPoet
Hey, I just left you a longish comment over on your Camus thread. I thought you did a nice job with that one. So I hope that will help you to feel a little bit more appreciated around here. I like a lot of your ideas and such. So keep on blogging! ~MadPoet
I read The Stranger. So what do you think of Hesse? Hey, since you are a poet and all... which poets do you like best? Any of the American ones.... like Dickinson and Whitman? How about Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton? What about Bukowski? Also, are you living in America as I am myself? (I reside in the great Pacific Northwest.... not very far from Seattle.) Well, I certainly can appreciate your rather intellectual take on things around here! I'm not online much anymore (life keeps me too busy the
Mig~very clever! Reminds me a little bit of Dorothy Parker (a favorite of mine). You're an awesome poet! Thanks for bringing a big smile to my face! ~MadPoet
Hey, it really is true... Sir Peter's blog really is the most entertaining one on JU. So DO check it out when you get a chance. Also, I have been told that my own blog can be highly original: kind of like an odd combo of Emily Dickinson and Daffy Duck! . Keep on blogging big time! ~MadPoet
MrBoo~totally insightful article! I learned some things I didn't even have a clue about before, etc. Thank you for writing this one. I always value an article big time when I actually learn an important fact or two. You are gonna get an insightful for sure. Thanks again mate! ~MP
CS~good writing here. Held my interest all the way through. I like cats much better than dogs too. A lot of dudes don't seem to understand that. I even did an article about it once (way back in April). So it's awesome to find out I'm not the only one. Thanks for all the cool info about yourself! ~MP
CareBear~totally thoughtful article! I actually think many of the so-called losers will eventually become winners big time. (I am talking about in high school.) I mean, think about some of the coolest folks in the music and art world: Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, van Gogh.... and Andy Warhol..... they all felt like losers and freaks when they were still in school. Yet fame and fortune were right around the corner for them big time. (Plus tragedy in some sad cases.) But I'm gonna be an optimist to
Sally~Dyl is an amazing talent and person. And she really does somehow take you on a magical trip to New York.... and you don't even have to leave your home to go there! Her prose is like poetry to me. Her thoughts are like strange and beautiful worlds I always want to live in. She is just the coolest! And I think she really does deserve A LOT more attention than she's been getting. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to think so~I respect you and WiseFawn a lot.... so I'm glad to see you are t
Thanks guys. Crazy L~I liked this one a lot too! Sorry it took me so long to get to it.... but I am not online as much as before, etc. Anyway, it is true that this is much shorter than some of the other parts.... but I think it still works because it just seems like most of the writing is so carefully thought out and inventive and everything. You
Muggaz~totally cool article dude! Very open and honest. Well, I never get on a bus (and I don't drive a car either). I just enjoy walking everywhere, and since I live downtown..... I can get to all the shops and such in a flash! But I will gladly make an exception for JU, huh? . So I wanna sit in the front, and not make eye contact with a single soul. Just staring at my notebook as I scribble totally cool poems about WiseFawn and
"We've talked a whole lot since this happening." CareBear~ I'm so glad to hear that! Really makes my day. Congrats to both of you big time! WiseFawn~thanks for all your very kind words! I appreciate it much. Hope to chat with you soon! ~MadPoet
Oh, I almost forgot! Lisa (my girlfriend) told me to tell you that she hopes you both can become really good friends again.... yeah, she likes to read some of the blogs on here, but is rather shy about commenting herself. But she did say she feels like she almost knows you two~just based on the blogs she's been reading, etc. So I guess that's why she feels the same way about the situation as myself. Anyway, so now you know. One more person rooting for CareBear and Capt. Cornbread big time! <img
CareBear~wow! Thank you for doing this..... it really is so sweet and very kind of you *I'm sorta blushing* I'm just glad you are feeling a little bit better now, and you and the Capt are being so friendly with each other again. I think that's the best thing I've seen all day long! So jolly good show! (As Sir Peter would say.) I have been thinking about both of you a lot today. I mean, I guess I was just kinda hoping that you would be able to be friends again pretty quick. But I never e
Gideon~then I must be a misfit Christian/Buddhist! . I mean, to say that I have "clashed" with every single church I have ever belonged to...... would be the kindest way to put it. I am anti-war, anti-death penalty, anti-poverty. I am attracted to the Catholic faith big time, but don't seem to get along very well with most Catholic folks, etc. (Although I do a lot better with them than some of the other denominations I've explored ov
Heartbroken and teary eyed. CareBear~I am totally sorry that you are hurting like this. And I am glad to see you are getting some good support from other JU bloggers, etc. I think I know both you and the Capt. pretty well (as well as is possible when it's online, huh?). And I don't think he would ever hurt you on purpose. The dude does
David~this is an awesome article. Sorry I did not comment sooner.... I seem to be spending a lot less time online these days, etc. So are you still visiting JU at all? Have you found another cool blog site? I got one over on Blogspot. But not a whole lot of visitors there. Well, I hope you are getting along okay? Drop me a line sometime (here or at my Yahoo address), and let me know what's up with you. I think WiseFawn has been wondering too. So you are missed here for sure. Take good care. And
CS~I believe in more than one God myself. That's one of the things that turned me off about the Baptist church I belonged to for too many years. Only one true God? I still don't "get" how anyone can actually believe that. But they certainly have a right to their beliefs. There's one of those sorta scary Scientology centers a mere two doors down from where I live (I live downtown). And the folks that come outta there do make me do a double take sometimes. I think John Travolta is/used
Muggaz~I think fear can be a useful thing. As long as you don't allow it to rule your life. When I am totally afraid of something (happens a lot more than I care to think about), I usually fess up to my own self that I am afraid. Then I ask myself~of what am I afraid the most? Once that is identified... I ask myself... what small steps can I take to lessen my fear~and ultimately beat it altogether? This system seems like a humble one. But it works for me big time. I have managed to give up booze
MM~this is good work here! I am a poet too. I like a lot of your imagery, and the strong voice you have. Keep writing! (Especially your wonderful poems.) ~MadPoet P.S. I just posted a poem~it's about one of our "regular" JoeUser bloggers here. Sir Peter Maxwell. He's our resident eccentric (some love him big time, others love to hate him, etc.). I simply admire his brilliance as a writer, and understand that nearly everything he writes is satire. So it's not a
David~I just gave you an insightful rating on this one, and I am no big fan of statistics. However, this was a bit too impressive to ignore. I hope many more JU bloggers will take a peek at this one. Keep on blogging! ~MadPoet
David~this is a very fine article. I agree with many of your points here. As far as my own take on Bush, etc.~I've aready stated and restated that in several of my previous blogs here. I do like how your mind works. You almost seem like a more intellectual version of myself! . I'm afraid I'm more of the artist type. So I wrote a few rather intense poems about the Twin Towers, and read those at a hushed reading or two. Nobody actually
