I find myself doubting that people will actually read through and consider the definitions and quotes. I have been sitting here for over ten hours researching quotes that I feel help reflect my point. But that just leads me to wonder what my point is. I mean, I know what my point is, but I don't think I can adequately reflect it through my own words. Furthermore, I know that it is possible to get a double meaning out of some of these quotes. So I am trusting you to make the right choice in trying to decipher my meaning. I think the best bet is for you the reader to think about things yourself. Draw your own conclusions based on the text above. After all, your own thoughts are the most powerful message I can deliver. .d1s. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Questions, Comments, Bitches, Ideas, Rants, Death Threats, Submissions = = Mail: jericho@dimensional.com (Mail is welcomed) = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = To receive new issues through mail, mail jericho@dimensional.com with = = "subscribe fuck".
