Muggaz~I am so disappointed dude. I thought you were gonna share a really dark and deep confession with us all here! . JOLLY GOOD SHOW OLD CHAP!!! ~MadPoet P.S. I left a comment for your cool comment over on my Anne Frank blog. Thanks for the support dude! It really means a lot because I wasn't sure just how many folks would see the situation kinda like I did, huh? So it w
Capt~I think you should invite Carebear to the Society supper tomorrow night? We are always on the lookout for new friends and supporters of the great Sir Peter Maxwell. Besides, I hear you make a really mean mac and cheese dude! . ~MadPoet (President Of FoSPMS) P.S. I left something for you in my Anne Frank blog~hope it helps to clarify some of my religious background
Dharma~I'm with Jill on this one. You have all the right ideas. I'm keeping you in my heart and prayers! (I just found this blog right now! ) ~MadPoet
MP, Christianity is exclusive, one God my friend. It's not about superiority, Mack~I was a born again Christian for too many years to count (while I was still a very young man). And I am sorry. But what eventually forced me to flee my Christian church was the arrogance and intolerance I saw there on a r
So I go on living, learning and being thankful in the ways that fit me. I tend to think that God will judge me on those merits. Jill~I really appreciated your quote above A LOT~so that's why I placed it here now. My philosophy is very much like your own. Are you gonna go to Hell? Ever? I don't think so.
Muggaz~very discriptive writing! I could actually see the sights and hear the sounds! Jolly good show old chap! . It is really cool to have SPM drop by, huh? I always feel like by blog has just been blessed by the Pope whenever Sir Peter leaves me a witty comment, etc. I liked this A LOT, and will be on the lookout for part 2! Thanks for writing this! It's really cool! ~MadPoet</fo
Capt~I like this poem AS MUCH as the first one! Dude I think you found a new calling in life: Captain Cornbread~really cool poet-dude. WOW. I don't know why you thought this one was inferior to the first one? That's just not true dude. And I am sure some other JU folks are gonna wanna see more of your poems in a hurry! So you better find some of those other ones now, or else write some brand new ones ASAP! <img src="../images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 A
Dharma~There you go again: Taking the words right out of my mouth, huh? *I'm smiling* Yeah, why do so many Christians get offended by being compared to Buddhists? (although I'm not saying that about the folks on this thread now~I mean generally speaking..) I pray to Jesus, AND I meditate to Buddha~and quite a few folks have told me that is like trying to have your cake and eat it too? Huh? Say what? So one religion is supposed to be superior to anothe
Capt~dude you're a poet, and I think you kind of know it! . I only say those words to people I RESPECT as a poet. Dude I didn't know you wrote poetry? I think you need to show us some more of your really cool poems ASAP! This first one is just so awesome to me: It's simply stated (always the best way to do it too~IMO), but carries a very moving and profound message! I like this poem as muc
Anne~I'm with Dharma on this one: The booze and such are only a temporary solution and will only add to your troubles later on if you suddenly need to rely on them for strength and escape on a regular basis, etc. I sometimes miss my booze and pills (prescription) so much! It all calmed me down tremendously, made me MUCH friendlier and sociable, and I even liked to go out and dance and drink all night with my crazy friends and make a complete
I think this is very interesting what you are doing here. I really like the whimsical aspect of it a lot. Are you writing this as you are (in these small sections) because you would like to get feedback on what you have most recently written, but not the whole project? And I'm always curious about where an interesting idea originated? Was there a single thought or event that got you to thinking about using a pig for a main character? You write very wel
WA~I wrote a rather longish poem about the WTC not too long after everything happened. AND I read it at a poetry reading I'd been invited to be a part of, and was happily astonished to find quite a few folks were just as upset as I was~that entire tragedy COULD have been avoided. But the Higher Ups didn't wanna jeopardize their status (or paychecks) by letting the world know what was truly taking place. I am ordinarily a very brave soul. I have been sp
Anne~this poem is so moving and very beautiful. And thank you for writing it~let us hope it may help some folks to START to see the true tragedy of war. And let there be no more~ever. And wouldn't the world be such a safer place to live then? And no more brave young men and women will have to go to an early grave..... ~MadPoet
Muggaz~the thing I remember most about the milkman here in the U.S.A. is that he left a lot more cool stuff on our doorstep than just milk? You could request a dozen eggs, orange juice, a pound of butter, even cheese. So it's not like you were constantly having to hotfoot it to the grocery store, huh? The milkman was like a grocery store coming to you. I mean, you didn't have to leave home to shop for several days~if need be. After the whole milkman th
Anne~you are not alone. Many folks at JU care very much. I mean, your wise and brave words are even being quoted now. I think it's on the thread: TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT? Or else: TOO CLOSE TO HOME? It's one of the excellent articles that Dharma wrote about the war and everything, huh? It's really cool. Powerful. Moving. And it got like around 60-70 comments. WOW! And I actually quoted somebody else who had quoted you on there! So it gets kind of compl
Capt~jolly good show! . I think the title of your cool blog is one of the funniest and most original ones I've seen on JU before. It really caught my eye, and made me wanna take a peek in a hurry! And that's kinda the purpose of a good title maybe, huh? I think you SHOULD have included yourself in that list of inspiring bloggers? Because I was drawn to your blogs right from the start becaus
So right now, it may not be the "right thing" to say, or "politically correct", but I am going to quote tangled wishes when she said, you know what? Fuck Iraq, and while I'm at it, fuck that bastard George Bush and the horse he rode in on. So now I am quoting the truthful and brave person who quoted the
Hey Dharma~I just sent you an email, k? I mean, I answered yours back. Just so you'll know. I stayed up ALL night again! I told you how weird I am! . Keep holding your head high, dig? Hope my email helps you out a little? Bye for now... ~MadPoet (Whooooops. Almost used my given name at birth!) P.S. Lt. Muggaz is officially defending our Society again. Aint it cool? </f
making the world a safer place, Anytime human beings are being slaughtered~no matter which side you are on~the world IS NOT a safer place. Again, our humble President is allowing his swollen ego to rule his brain, and too many people are dying as a result. Sad. Very, very sad. Dharma~at least you still
Hey Crazy llama 96~all you gotta do is highlight the portion of the quote you want to appear in the yellow box, then click on the"Q" icon at the bottom of each comment section. Wait~let me try that here first, and be sure that's how it's done. . So yes, he di
actually, all you need do is ask and I will stop commenting Hey Dan? You really shouldn't contradict yourself so conspicuously in the future? I mean, especially since you are so quick to point out when others are not making sense, blah, blah, blah. You have actually managed to impress me here though? I
Capt and Crazy llama 96~WOW! Yeah, I noticed that there was more than one author listed, but I thought the Capt was just trying to be funny about it! . You know? Like a split personality deal or whatever? . So yeah, this make the story even more interesting and complex to me. I guess what I wanna know is how did you do it? I mea
Dear Dharma~You are most certainly a poet, and you had just better know it! You know what it reminds me of? Dickinson~if she had been writing poems in a truck (which is to say~your poem has a more contemporary ring to it...) And I think all the rhymes are awesome! I loved every single one. And it did make the poem so much stronger w/those rhymes. Some contemporary poets actually frown upon form? But I do like it quite a bit. Not exclusively~mind you. B
Sir Peter~you are correct (as always). I understand that I am just a lowly peasant, and would never degrade the fair Maxwell name by attempting to court Dharma. Please forgive me if I wasn't all that clear on that point? I mean, my father was a musician, and my mother~a waitress! (And as if that's not bad enough, they both ultimately became chronic alcoholics and nearly drank themselves to death!) I myself am a shameless college drop-out. And a recover
They're kids, most of them, trying to throw their weight around with idealistic ideas about the world and what's in it ...when they themselves have yet to dip as much as a big toe into the vast ocean that is the real world. Idealism is fine, but add to it self-righteousness without the benefit of experience...that's the recipe t
