LMAO, means "Laugh My A** Off" and yes, I am a teacher. Some of my students call me crazy, some call me fun, some call me weird, but I am a teacher. You say to walk a mile in your shoes, so I feel that you must have gone through a lot...but when things go REALLY wrong for me, I've always believed that there's always someone who is far worse off and I should not be too angry or upset about things. Especially because I know that a majority of my students alone have it harder than I do...drugs...sexual abuse...verbal abuse....severe poverty - where they sleep in a car and come to school every day in the same clothes....depression....suicide....cutting.........god, you name it, I've probably seen it and my students have probably gone through it. The theory has done me a lot of good in my life. I went from being a depressed person who thought my life was the worst it could ever be...to being okay...but like I said, I don't know how your life has been....I'd like to hear, if you're willing to tell me... =)

Oh...I forgot...
The whole existentialism thing...well, I take it in the best light possible. It is a realization of how conformity overthrows individuality and masks all that we truly are. We are confined to so much social constructs and taboos that we lose that part of our self that says its okay to go against the norm. Once we come into that realization, living life is just a matter of how we accept things and how we react to things. If you choose to react badly to something because society says you're supposed to, then you'll probably be a fairly sad person a lot of the time. But if you can rise above that, and shrug your shoulders and go, "Well, what else can happen?" then you can reach your true self a little more. That's what I believe in. I might have not worded all this as eloquently as some people, like Moon for example, but I tried my best.
I hope this helps?

haha, I got you to type back to me! LOLOLOL!! No problem for that idea. No charge either.
Hahahaha! I crack myself up. I think the reason Moon said "is that where you live?" is because he's asking you if that's where you are right now mentally. Is that your favorite place in your mind to mosey around in? That's what I think. Moon might have to explain if I'm wrong. You really should stop being angry. That give you high blood pressure....a lot of stress.....yucky stuff.

Was it me or was I blatantly ignored? Okay. I get it. I'm not one to be THAT annoying, if I can help it. Bye!

i forget what i write quickly. As far as the ending being predictable, i don't know, i don't think so, but then i don't remember what i wrote, but the probable reason i toko you off guard is because i took me off guard.

Hey I'm curious. Guess maybe you noticed that. Okay, here it is - do you believe what you write? Is that where you live or is that just a literary thing? I ask 'cause I think your bio said that you're a Buddhist (correct me if I'm wrong). So, if you're a Buddhist then you would know that none of this is real, it's all illusion, in fact it is just a 'dream' created by the 'mind' and that the 'mind' itself is not even real. It's just another layer of illusion. So it is illusion spun by illusion. There's not very much of substance there. But, operating upon those planes then, you would also know that energy follows thought and that we MAGNIFY whatever we focus upon and so, if you really ARE focusing on this stuff, you are constantly INCREASING it in your life and DIMINISHING it's opposite by the power of you attention. Just curious. Sort of. Moon

Pawny:
damn it...hit the enter button too early. A question I had, and I don't know if you'll answer: But why do you have a gazillion spaces between every stanza? Just curious. I'm actually curious about you, because you exude a lot of bitterness in your poems and I'd like to know if that's all in my head or if you're seriously pissed off when you write...or you just like to write in a pissed off fashion. Anyway, you're fun. You should come join me and Moon on a Blogit Romp of Spamming!

...oh and hey...what's wrong with a simple 666?...it's available...i mean i know that it leaves out a crucial element in your formula...the pawn aspect, or destiny or fate or karma or whatever but, the shock value has something going for it...and the merciless assault by mindless devil haters...etc, etc, etc...it will make you an object of derision and contempt...or something like that...so it does have benefits...and (allegedly) in the end the devil is a loser...so you could go with that angle...hey...just thinking out loud....don't mind me...i actually think that you are quite talented...maybe a little 'unbriddled' but there is definite talent...(hope that doesn't upset you) ... and hope you are feeling better.... moon

...that was REALLY good...because in retrospect the end was TOTALLY predictable (as is EVERYTHING with hindsight)...but i didn't see it coming AT ALL...not AT ALL...i was so caught up in where you were going...maybe 'careening' would be a better verb...that it just totally caught me off guard and i laughed outloud...which is a feat for you...to knock me off like that...congrats...yeah, i think you should definitely pursue the songwriting...and you'll collect royalties...and you won't have to work...probably won't even have to leave for beer...probably you can have it delivered...so...how much better could it be? moon
