Oh and fuck, Rian! I'm sorry to hear you feel like you've been a clasher. I haven't thought so, but that's me and I haven't been closely following every conversation you've been having. When I read what you write, I read it coming from that huggy, friendly, feisty chick I met at Stu's camp. All good. Hope to see you again soon and take care!
If this were a crime, I'd receive a life sentence without possibility of parole. I plead guilty. I'll be back if/when I have something intelligent to say/write. This could take a loooong time.I also know from direct discussion with LOTS of folks that they don't want to have to wade through the swamp of innane bullshit that has mired this board down and turned it into a goddamn swamp of banality in which fully 50% of the threads have fuck all to do with the event in any way whatsover.
Be good to each other.

"fuck all to do with the event"??????????
To me, as a 6th year Burner, this message board is the way that I get to participate in this community of like-minded people. I don't even read any other message board, because of time constraints and because I need to keep my ear to the ground about shit (literally). Call it a fetish, but I need to have stream of consciousness BS from those I consider to be my friends.
So FUCK!
If someone's worries about some aspect of Burningman, that they want to see changed (50% of the messages etc) then they can fucking participate and make this board more to their liking.
On to the politics thread

When I read this kind of thing, I find it pretty difficult not to wonder just who these "folks" are and if they indeed exist. You know, someone says "people are saying..." and you realize that they are just talking about themselves.Badger wrote:I also know from direct discussion with LOTS of folks

Arrgh!
I dropped my digifuckingtal camera on the porch outside last night while setting up a pic to cheer ms. Rian, and broke the lens right off.
It was to be my avatar of the night, a rubber chicken duct-taped to a bottle rocket & lit with my face smiling behind the flames. Boo-fucking hoo! Guess it was not meant to be.

It comes in waves... or cycles. About a month and a half ago this who GD board was alive with wit, wisdom, positive vibes, and general all around energy. This last week it has been backing off. And that's okay. It can't always be summer, and it won't always be winter. We can ride the cycles like a surfer rides the waves.... Rian has a good (very good, actually) head on her shoulders and will sort all this out. I trust her.
Plus, it's Ramadan, and she is examining herself in detail, which is what Ramadan is supposed to be about. I have a Muslim friend here at work who is doing the same thing and it is wonderful to see his mind come alive while he is fasting.
She'll be fine....
But, FUCK!!! I miss her already....

Way true.
I have a fucking friend that talks non-stop to me. I'm one of his few fucking friends that does this, and he'll complain about everyone around him seeking his counsel, and he's fucking tired of it. So I listen.
I'm accepting this as my opportunity to give back all the listening time that I did to my fucking friends, when I'd do stream of consciousness monologues to them. And they listened.
Letting someone go off can be either cathartic, or them practicing throwing tantrums. He says his head feels better afterwards, so I guess I'm doing the right fucking thing by remaining silent.
So fuck! It's all good. As long as one acts in Compassion, you can't fuck up too badly.
I need another fucking mouse. This one is fucked up. Fuck.

What is the purpose?
The Siyam are intended to teach the believers patience and self-control, and to remind them of the less fortunate in the world. The fast is also seen as a debt owed by the believer to God. Faithful observance of the Siyam is believed to atone for personal faults and misdeeds, at least in part, and to help earn a place in paradise. It is also believed to be beneficial for personal conduct, that is, to help control passions and temper. The fast is also meant to provide time for meditation and to strengthen one's faith.

A while back I mentioned how the company decided to take our temp positions and turn them into Perm positions but we had to apply for our own jobs...
Well, word came down to me today that I didn't get the perm position, but I get to stay here anyway as a temp.... I would say "Fuck!", but at least I still have a job... my own.
Sigh.
The good side? At least they recognize that I am not a corporate drone, as if there was any question. They said they can 'keep' me until either January or next October.
Yip-fuckin'-ee

non-caffiene living, relatively well.stuart wrote:how is that fucking going for you? Are you cursing me?especially since i gave up caffiene
cursing you, nah... if i were to curse you, you'd be reading right now.
actually, my hip hasn't had a whole lot of pain since we/i decided to stop caffiene... not sure, sort of waiting to see... sort of like waiting for the next terrorist attack (that whole i told you so scene).
there is certainly a lack of different decaf to buy, but the one at Cafe Kopi, Champaign, IL (shameless plug) is pretty damned tasty.
curses, isn't that a baseball thing?
otherwise i am fine, stuart.

I remember the Esquire, but Mike & Molly's escapes me. I served time in good ol' Shampoo-Banana from '89-93 and again in '96-98. I was much surpised upon my return, at finding many of the local favs pushed aside for the big chains (BW3 comes to mind).
Yep sometimes I miss that place. 'cept it's fucking cold in February.
