Life’s challenges become opportunities for those who have the vision to see the good in all things, and the faith to welcome

what they see My name is James Eugene Jr I am 28 years old boy This is a real life message from me, and I beg you to be

patient and read through to the end.I was adopted by Mr. James Eugene,A successfull cocoa farmer in Ivory Coast. Mr James

Eugene died as a result of the political crisis on hearth failure here in Ivory Coast.

Every King was once a crying baby and every great building was once a picture.It’s not about where you are today but it’s

about where you will reach tomorrow I loved Mr James Eugene for his kindness to me! for taken me out of the motherless

baby home and make me as his own son after the suden death of the wife He simply adopted me because theyhas no child he

said.

Before the death of Mr James Eugene on june 12 2006 he called my attension regarding bulk deposit made in One of the big

bank in United Kingdom with the deposit draft showing the existence of the fund with the bank.Though He warned me not to

relent this secret to anyone untill I finish my education but I have to be open minded to you regarding to this because a mind

is like a parachute,it only functions when it’s opened.

You don’t have to choose what you want to be great at.You can be great at everything you choose!”Two weeks ago,I received

an official notice from the bank regarding the fund and i was told to provide account details where they can wire the huge sum

on my behalf before it goes dormant by the end of last guarter and do to my present situation here,i am not in beter position

to handle such huge sum here in my mothers land africa I therefore decided to seek for your help in order to retreive the fund

from the bank and release to you and at the same time you will assist me in furthering my profession in teaching there in your

country because The important thing in life is to have a great aim,and the determination to attain it

A dream is a flame that burns out if you give up;it is whether we keep going that creates a torch that is strong enough to burn

through all the obstacles!I desperately need your help! over this issue because Peace of mind comes by way that our final

decision is decidedly final and i am hoping that you will not ignor this message!get back to me with prove of your readiness

i watched a rosebud

I watched a rosebud very long

Brought on by dew and sun and shower,

Waiting to see the perfect flower:

Then, when I thought it should be strong,

It opened at the matin hour

And fell at evensong.

I watched a nest from day to day,

A green nest full of pleasant shade,

Wherein three speckled eggs were laid:

But when they should have hatched in May,

The two old birds had grown afraid

Or tired, and flew away.

Then in my wrath I broke the bough

That I had tended so with care,

Hoping its scent should fill the air;

I crushed the eggs, not heeding how

Their ancient promise had been fair:

I would have vengeance now.

But the dead branch spoke from the sod,

And the eggs answered me again:

Because we failed dost thou complain?

Is thy wrath just? And what if God,

Who waiteth for thy fruits in vain,

Should also take the rod?

(Christina Rosetti)

war

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y’all

War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives

War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives

I said, war, huh
Good God, y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain’t nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It’s an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y’all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it’s got one friend
That’s the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can’t give life
It can only take it away

Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there’s got to be a better way

Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it

War, huh
Good God y’all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing

disappearing

the rambling

get it out of my head as swiftly as possible

evaporate like the drops of mist off the

friendly neighbourhood waterfall oh

drift away on the dull and humid air

o wisper and wink into nothing

as the furious mass of something

churns like madness below

note about japanese food

lovin’ asian and japanese food right now; I’ve been trying to perfect my 1337 stir-frying skills lately. turns out that the soy sauce I bought a while ago has alcohol in it, even though it’s not listed on the label. bleah. stupid soy sauce. why can’t I find an awesome brand of soy sauce that isn’t made with alcohol? seriously. you can’t exactly make a lot of japanese food without soy sauce. and now I’m going to be paranoid about checking where the soy sauce comes from every time I pick up a box of sushi. oh yeah, and I failed at life by buying a bottle of dumpling sauce yesterday without checking the ingredient list, and it’s made with sake. it’s also got “ethanol” littered throughout the ingredients list. lol i fail. stupid gyoza sauce. I wonder how I’m going to get rid of it all now…

anime advice

ð dragfyre pokes around at the Asahi top 100, notes a few he’s heard of
and watched.
<dragfyre> Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Rozen Maiden… all fairly
high rated.
<dragfyre> Full Metal Alchemist is pretty popular. o_O
<dragfyre> and dragon ball of course, but I’m not sure I’d watch that
if it wasn’t for lulz.
<dragfyre> what’s the name of that anime with the angel who goes around
clubbing people into a gory death?
<William> Club-to-death angel Dokuro-chan, I believe.
<dragfyre> that’s it.
<dragfyre> Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan [note to self: don't bother, it's ecchi]
<William> What anime to watch will depend on your budget. I highly
recommend Azumanga Daioh, Oh My Goddess (a.k.a. Ah!
Megami-Sama), and of course I personally am a rabid Sailor
Moon fan but that’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
<William> There are the classics, of course. Utena, Slayers, NGE, etc.
<William> What have you watched and liked?
ð Dan_Wood puts William down to control the spread of that particular
strain of rabies…
<dragfyre> Will: noted above
<dragfyre> Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Rozen Maiden
<dragfyre> I’ve also watched Deathnote and it seems to have promise.
<dragfyre> I’ve watched Bleach, Naruto, DBZ and didn’t really like them
.
<dragfyre> Sailor Moon I haven’t actually watched through, but the name alone
makes me lul.
<dragfyre> sailor moon was the butt of so much ridicule when I was in
highschool. %)
<William> Yes, well, so was D&D, and now the nerds run the world. At any rate
…
<William> Allright, so skip the heavy fighting anime, but you can handle
darkness, and you like good art. I can work with that.
<William> Haibane Renmei. Earth Girl Arjuna. GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka).
<William> My recommendations for all the previous stand as well.
<dragfyre> these sound arcane.
<William> HR, EGA, and GTO are lesser-known but excellent, in my opinion.
Azumanga and A!MG are very mainstream.
<dragfyre> yeah, I’ve heard of both of those.
<William> HR: religious-themes psychodrama. EGA: high-myth ecologically
motivated fantasy. GTO: comedy/drama, modern realistic. Azumanga
Daioh:uproariously funny slice-of-life school setting. A!MG:
romance/comedy, bit of drama, goddesses as the main characters
(Shinto and Norse elements).
<dragfyre> oooh
<dragfyre> ok, noted.
<dragfyre> I like to rofl.
<dragfyre>
<JCat> Haibane Renmai was awsome though.
<William> Then get Azumanga Diaoh first. ^_^
<dragfyre> hehehe
<JCat> And Will, I recommend Aria.
<William> Theme?
<JCat> Seriously slice of life.
<dragfyre> also noted
<JCat> Fun lighthearted girls on gondolas doing gondola things.

<rubbrchikin> My anime consists of: Old Otaku Standbys (Evangelion, Cowboy
Bebop, Trigun, FLCL, Slayers), Random comedy (Azumanga Daioh,
Excel Saga), Otaku-oriented stuff (Haruhi, Rozen Maiden), …
and then there’s just oddball shows like Lain.

<William> My anime shelf: Real Bout High School, Armitage, Hellsing, A.D.
Police, Niea_7, Azu, Ah! Megami-Sama, MKR, Great Teacher Onizuka,
Utena, one disc of Haibane Renmei, Steamboy (unwatched), FF7: Advent children (unwatched), Sailor Moon movies.

eclipses

 Seen on Facebook re: the upcoming Solar eclipse in August (visible only in the Far North, sorry):

I thought eclipses were supposed to be some kind of big deal. I just saw a lunar one a couple of weeks ago.
Are we having eclipses all the time because of global warming or something?

HA HA HA
OH WOW
