The problem is, she can.

The remake of Carrie. I love it.

Her facial expressions of anger mirror my own.


Pissing me off does not suit you well.

Oh, wow..........this is one pissed off gurl.

Now..........
You have been bad kids.

Go [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSif77IVQdY]Down and pray, and I won't take you down where I have been.[/url]

I lost my dear old Uncle Don this last week.
,
He was the one who graced me with my knowledge of Gilbert and Sullivan.
Mozart. All the wonders of the keyboard, all 88 of em. Turindot, my favorite Puccini opera, Chopin, god bless Chopin. And may God bless my dear Uncle Don.

I happened to be one of the last few phone calls he got, as I am told.

It gives me much peace in life to know that I called him just before he parted.

Such a wonderful soul.

I am not going to try to fix the link.

No point.

You all can and shall go where I have.

I am going to love you either way.

LOL. I am nothing but a sweet kitty.
Even when I get angry with you, and you bitch at me.
It all works out in the end, kids.

OK..............
I'll risk it.

meow.

Now, if you watch, non of them is closer than about 2 feet from the mike.
And yet, I could get a couple of feet of 1/2 inch tape closer than, shall we say, pussy talk, to any of them.

Do you have any idea what the mike they just sang into cost?

Unless I miss, it's about a 20 thousand dollar Senheiser.

Watch.
Yeah... I used to buy Senns at market value for 20 thousand for a good, used vocal mike.
You don't know that shit, do ya?

There is a market for used Senns, because they are way too expensive for most budding studios to afford.
Twenty thousand a pop. Get a vocal group in the studio and say 'share'...LOL.

It does not work like that. Take my current fave. for example.
3 guys, one gurl. None can be excluded .

If I were to even attempt to try to mix this.............
I have the boards. I have the mixers. I would make a major fail with the kids trying different things. (Ever try to mix 1/2 track 15 ips magnetic tape for fun?) Damn.

I could have done this with them about 20 years ago//////////////////.

It's simply amazing that they can do what they do. And................
It's not just technology./ It's their raw talent.

M<ow.

I have to leave for a while, friends.

It is not you.

It is me.

I cannot continue the way that I was or am.

I am sorry.
I am lost.

I shall be back some day.

I might be back when I am stronger.
Maybe not.

Ya never know, kids.

Just what the heck is the problem that some of you seem to have with me making 'too many threads'?
What the hell is the harm?

You don't like to see my name that often?

You don't wish to ponder my thoughts as I do?

What galls you so about that? I don't do it for the pride of 'thread ownership', believe me.

If I made 100 posts an hour in one thread, or sort them in 100 threads, what is the harm? This bothers you???

It just at times, allows me to sort things in my mind. Which, I must admit, is increasingly difficult to do even in my more sober moments.

It seems to me that some are making mountains out of molehills, and having a go at me at my expense. OK, I get the part where some are accessing the forums on a handheld and have to blink a moment to bypass ME.

Sorry for that, kids.

What some of you do not realize............

It's not all [fun and games] here.
I struggle every single day to survive.
It has become my reason for staying here.
Professional help??? LOL. There is no help on this planet that could possibly tell me what to do, how to do it, or why.

Chris, I thank you for your friendship and your insights.
They don't really fall on deaf ears, my friend.

What I take the most solace in is the simple fact that there is NO other person on this planet that is ME.

And you all can pontificate and judge and preach all you want.
But, I am still ME. And I shall continue to be so until the day the good Lord chooses to release me from this earthly toil and trouble.

HIS choice, not mine to make. I am not allowed to make that decision, and shall NEVER attempt to alter my fate in such a manner. You all simply MUST know that, regardless of how I posture at times. It ain't gonna happen by my own hand. Not the remotest of possibilities. Period. End of line.
So, I guess you are simply stuck with me.

Now, that leaves YOU to make a decision. You can remain my friend, and accept the fact that I get off my nut once in a while and be understanding about my rants and raves, and those few moments when I shine and share what insights I see from my little world into yours.

Or, you can just shut me out and say I am a nutcase that you don't wish to deal with anymore.
It's really your choice, not mine.

And I do cherish the few of you who have made the choice to remain my forever friends.

Thank you BladeD, and of course YOU, Chris.

I am getting to the point of age where this is the point......age.

I am not a teenager anymore. Carrying on after a weekend of embracing the bottle is not as easy as it once was. I don't bounce back like I could in my younger years. I suffer for it.

Mind you, I take my job very seriously, and have taken a day or two of vacation at times rather than to go into work with any doubt that I was compromised. I don't remember who posted the comment, but somebody doubted that I could go into work on Monday and be able to properly do my job. That hurt me a lot, and I can assure you, there has never been a problem there. I may be a bit more tired at times these days, but never any doubt about every wire connection I make, or any bolt I put in place and properly tighten. None.

I do admit that I get over the top at times, and most would not consider it to be 'normal' settling down after a week's work with a 1.7 litre bottle of whiskey and just letting it just wander for a weekend, very little sleep, and then crash.

You really want to know why? I have issues. Many of which I have discussed or exposed here. Many people do. I am though, more afflicted or open about them than some others.

The fact is, I treasure my friends here. You can relate to me most of the times, until I get way over the top. And I thank you for that. And sadly, I also know that I have lost a few along the way.

I just wish you to stay with me through the rest of my life's journey, wherever that may take me. I hope that it shall take me closer to most of you rather than further away.

There are things I do, things I cannot do, and things I fail to do.
They all, unfortunately, but in reality, make me just what I have become at this time.

Where would I be? What would I be? If I had not discovered Seti so many years ago? I do not know. I could be sober. I could have been dead for many years.
It's all conjecture. And really beside the point. I am now, what I believe the Lord above intended my to be. I don't know why, but He'll explain it to me one day, I am sure...LOL.

Just please stay with me. I'll share whatever my journeys in life present. They may be pretty at times, and at times I am sure not. But, until I pass, or this project closes it's doors forever, I shall be here to share all with you.

Get ready, LOL, here it comes....................

Best wishes and kitty kisses to all who have understood or tried to, for all these years.

Bless you all,

Mark...aka the kittyman.

Meow!

Mark

As you probably realise I am one of the friends you have "lost along the way."

I have made many friends because of SETI and have even had the pleasure to meet a few in person. That is why these forums are special to me, I consider them to be a "second home". So to open them on a Friday/Saturday and see your drunken rants feels like someone is doing it in my home!!

I have left these forums for a time even stopped crunching for SETI because I did not want to be associated with a project that allowed you to have your drunken rants on a regular basis. You have spoiled SETI@Home for me.

Your post is more tragic in that you actually realise what you are doing. You do have friends here and I know they are on the point of despair seeing you appear to slide lower and lower.

You will only restore yourself in my and other peoples eyes if you can take control of your life and stop this downward spiral.

Unless and until you do I will be watching and red-x ing your posts and calling for you to be permanently banned

It is really up to you.

Bernie.

Keep in mind, Bernie, that red-xing all of my posts shall only do you more harm that good.

I do not wish to red-x you, or any others. All are entitled to their say, as I suppose, am I.

But I thank you for at least responding to me. Good soul, man. Please, do not leave the project on account of my posts here, unless you should think I have dissed you directly as a personal thingy.

I don't think I have ever, and if you percieve that I have, please let me know and I should address that via PM.

My broadcast comments at times should NOT be considered to be a personal insult, and I should thing you would not condsider them that way.

Meow.

As am I.

A long time ago, I brought to to you one gurl named Karen Lawrence.

She had captivated me with a song that though evading me senses at the time, reminded me of Joplin.

Now, years went by, and the song still evaded my mind.

One day, not long ago, it came back.

Her song.....[url=fun and games....I can't remember how to post links

Take it to my front door, kids.
If they try to break it down, I have lots in store for them.

I have faith in what out government stands for. Or, at least what it USED to stand for.

Friends died in VN
Uh, for what it used to stand for.

My true friend Pete Seeger stood long and proud for what it stood for.
He died just recently still in defiance of the long standing regime that shamed his......
I do too.

Now, if you also wish to shame me for what I truly believe, damn you all too.

Damn you to the depths of the earth, where you are all are destined, then.

You somehow wish to disturb me with your threats of the disturbed, our shamed.
