He was my hero. <BR/><BR/>Don't ask me why.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, and Thomas: If I know the109, which I think I do... he will recommend you read "Ischmael" by Quinn.<BR/><BR/>It's about a gorilla who tells the secrets of the world to some dude in a locked room. At least, that's my interpretation of it.

I'm going into work a bit late because the Culligan man is coming out to fix our water softener (it's overflowing with water). For the moment, I'm just keepin' it real. Hope you're doin' the same.<BR/><BR/>Damnit, Brian, I didn't want you guys to know the website of the conference I'm going to. Why not? Because each week, I wanted to reveal a new person and hear you ooh and ahh over him or her (it wouldn't be the same if you were already privy to the info).

I can't believe that all this spirituality culminated into a rant about money. It seems that the author was intent on revealing something he felt would come true. Unfortunately, most bums off the street could tell you where our money system was headed and his final revelation fell completely flat.<BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, I'm curious to know if you've read any Daniel Quinn and what your thoughts on him are. If not, I highly recommend him although Kyra can't stand him and thinks I'm a total douche for enjoying him so much.<BR/><BR/>But, fuck her.The109https://www.blogger.com/profile/06721058638998912438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31831069.post-55583092141801393502007-04-02T18:04:00.000-05:002007-04-02T18:04:00.000-05:00This is one of those books that people either love...This is one of those books that people either love or hate. For me, it falls into the same league as Siddhartha and most anything written by Daniel Quinn.... all books that seem to be on the right track and have very good messages but also having authors who are too eager to get their points across and rush through, often forgetting how to compell us and draw us in. <BR/><BR/>You and the109 would get along very well :-)the Book of Keirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822287393601058364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31831069.post-65718886750712631502007-04-02T17:19:00.000-05:002007-04-02T17:19:00.000-05:00You've been tagged. :)You've been tagged. :)Nikki Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699784181113365713noreply@blogger.com
