ian said i should post something, so here is a little some i wrote

Do you ever wonder where your life is heading?

What it will lead to?

Your life course

It is most assuredly not going to pan out as you thought

So why do we plan?

Why do we go to all the effort of structuring our lives?

If little things like emotions, especially love

Are going to dash it to pieces?

Love is one of those funny things

I mean what does everybody want

Regardless of race, colour, religion or nationality

It is of course love

So why do so many people put their careers ahead?

Maybe if we all sought out love first

Became truly happy with who we are

Then we could pursue a career

But of course life doesn’t work like that

Forced as soon as we’re out of nappies to determine out future

“Now children” asked the reception class teacher

“what do you want to be when you grow up?”

I mean our whole life is focused onto what we should do

Our prospects, what we will attain

But why cant we just live for the now?

Have fun

Be happy

No worries

Ha! As if human society will ever “devolve” to that

Yes, believe it or not

Many would see that as a step back

Well tell me then

How can focusing your life on joy

Happiness

Love and

Experiences

Be a step back

Surely that is the best way to learn

Even today people highly value experience

I mean love isn’t just romantic love

If we cultivated all forms of love

Especially agape

Surely the world as a whole would be a better place

But people see love as being soppy

Agape?

love based on principle?

loving your enemy?

If it were applied we would have no enemies

How could that be so terrible?

Can you call that “soppy”?


Oh well

I'll leave u you to your sad, career conscious,

Meaningless lives


And return to my own pathway of despair!

Well as they say if u look for love you wont find it, work is just somethin

to fill the void and hopefully make you feel accomplished at something so your life isnt totally meanigless.

And if everyone in the world practiced agape towards each other it would not make it the fun place it is right now. (EDIT: mean this sarcasticly)

Side note i edited this thing like 50 times due to wack html code's, not fun!

interesting point, it isn't that sort of poem though, i just put down what comes out, what i feel or sometimes what i feel wouldinterest people.

And u seem to imply that a world w/o agape love is a good thing?

magnum magnumOG 2001

sorry i mean that sarcasticly, would be nice if everyone was friendly to everyone i guess. At times im anti social and could care less about meeting new people so i guess it all depends on the person.

ha ha i should have picked up on that

I come from the home of sarcasm (liverpool!!!!!)

Sorry hun, nice to hace a posting tho lol

magnum magnumOG 2001

I talked to a few people from england and they never seemed sarcastic. I can see it being the home of depression if you get as much rain as i have been told. I think NYC gets crown of sarcastic or would that be just out right no care for anyone living around them. Hmm maybe both who knows.

nine9starOG 2001

lol

britain is rainy but i wouldnt say depressing.

Oh u sooooo have to come to liverpool to experience sarcasm in its finest form - esp when used on those who dont get it lol - sooooooo funny

muah ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa

magnum magnumOG 2001

Well i have a lack of patientnce and i am very sarcastic which dont mix when a dumb person is involved. It would be funny for a little while then a blunt remark about them will probably follow :). My cousin and alot of his friends have been to england and said it was nice for the most part, i was gonna go but that fell through. Then i was goin to ireland to see some friends and that fell through. However i am going to vancouver, canada but thats just a tad bit in the opposite direction from england. One of these years ill make it there.

im jealous, ive always wanted to go to that part of Europe. I have visited Germany Austria and Italy, but i REALLY wanna go to Ireland and England.

I would fancy a holiday to England again. I had loads of fun when I was out there, but I dont think I have the quid for it. You know? Sarcasm all you birds out there have sarcasm, especially those from Leeds. I loved London and the whole experience, I think I may return in '02 but not exactly sure.

magnum magnumOG 2001

Hrm i cant see english people be sarcastic but if thats the case i may have to go out there and lay some New York sarcastic smack down on them folks :) And enjoy the coutry and lil mini cars too while im there i guess.

magnumwOG 2001

I dont think they would let me have a tv show so this works a little bit better. This is also another alternative to AIM, however responses take just a lil bit longer and a person you are talkin to may be sleeping for hours at the time you say somethin to them.

N
nine9starOG 2001

lol was that - sleeping for hours - aimed at me???

lol i cant help it, we're 5 hours apart lol

I'm afraid i dont drink tea all the time or have butter with anything,

and i dont live in the country altho id love too.

And i wouldnt say girls here were hideous, infact did u know women in britain have the biggest boobs in europe lol - oh and sorry to dissapoint you but my mum too thinks you are genini rofl

sorry if i offended

magnumwOG 2001

Well a big chest doesnt make you any smarter so fail to see how thats relevant in making someone look pretty. But i guess thats me i'd prefer a orinary lookin girl thats smart over a gorgeus girl with the iq of my shoe size.

tpham tphamOG 2001

wait your mom thinks that i'm GENIUS .. thats a bad thing ?

M
magnumwOG 2001

geninin

i thought it was meant like genie of the lamp or somethin which confused me since thats not how u spell it either. Maybe i should go get some lunch and then i can think clearer.

N
nine9starOG 2001

lol i only said it cos he said i hadnt mentioned my mum or genini, and i kinda unsuccessfully tried to put it into a sentence,

and as for the boobs thing i couldnt think of a decent come back and id
heard that on the radio dis morning - sooooooorrrrrrryyyyyy
