dafremen_answers_five_questions Dafremen So let's see how good I am at this sh*t now that I've had the secrets of life love and happiness dumped into my skull. If I suck at it, I'll gladly accept most_hated blatherer title, cuz it's mine dammit, and that's that. (Fer f*ck's already! As our dear kss might have a sed.) 020412 ... Dafremen Question Number One: I will ask myself this one: Why the hell are you doing this? Because it needed to be done. Besides, the showman has reminded me that I owe you folx a show and albeit I'm nowhere near as entertaining is going through your neighbor's garbage, I AM fun at parties and I can juggle vegetables and some fruit. (No pineapples PLEASE!) So go ahead, ask a question. The answer will be honest, but it will probably suck. This is a GOOD thing. You'll have to ask another question if you would like to know HOW it can possibly be a good thing. That is all of the answer I'm giving out for one question....even my own. 020412 ... Teenage Jesus Question #2 Hey man, how's it going? 020412 ...

Dafremen Nice to see ya T.J. Thanks for asking. The truth is, I've been trying to find my way for about 4 months now and I believe I've found my direction again (which is a nice state to be in for me, makes planning 3 moves ahead at all times a lot easier if I know where I'm going, which in turn makes being right the majority of the time a lot easier.) and have decided to become a vendor. I've got some really incredible sources for good merchandise at incredible prices and I'm making money selling the stuff. I'm spending 5 days a week shopping for merchandise with the missus, making signs and store displays with the kids. FIVE DAYS a WEEK with my family do0d. SEVEN DAYS A WEEK with the missus. It's heaven do0d. I'm hoping to make 5 bills this weekend. I'll open a second location if it works out. I'll keep you posted and again, thanks for asking. 020412 ... Dafremen Hi aimee, and you were missed too dearest leonessa. I have been in Mexico trying to figure out what to do with my life now that I know the truth about what I am, who I am and where I was headed, and to TELL the truth Aimee dear, I was SCARED! REALLY scared, but I had this feeling, ya know? This feeling that what I was doing (the picking up, packing up and moving part) was the right thing to do. I am STILL terrified for what is coming lady(on a global scale), but at least I've got the swagger back in my step and I can follow my own advice and "Walk down the street like I have a pocket full of hundred dollar bills, even if I don't", because I know where it is I'm headed and my focus is back. Equilibrium is everything. P.S. Ritalin free baby. Only one vice left...booya. 020412 ... Dafremen Do0d, Repeat answer number 3 with the following additional information: My booya connect hooks me up with fat oh-zees for 20 bucks a pop. I might be awhile kicking that vice. : ) : ( 020412 ... Dafremen Question Number 4 The average velocity of a sparrow carrying a coconut unassisted is 0Mph or 0.0Kph. The average velocity of a single-stage rocket-assisted sparrow carrying a coconut is 854.342Mph/1374.930171648Kph for the first 53 meters after which the object ceases to be a sparrow and becomes a ball of feather, meat and bone plastered to the side of a coconut. The average velocity of a sparrow air-to-air missile is Mach 3.7(approx 2743.3831424481 Mph at sea level). This velocity would be considerably reduced with the addition of a coconut as cargo, mainly as a result of added wind resistance rather than added weight. Initial wind tunnel tests in my basement indicate a probable velocity of somewhere between Mach 2.8(2076.07372942019 Mph at sea level) and Mach 3.0(2224.36471009306 Mph at sea level) Thanks for the fascinating question. 020412 ... Aimee Daffy... you need to add me to your aol buddies or msn buddies, if you have either... msn, is just the e-mail address... aol is Ophelia1721... IM me! note... that was not in the form of a question 020412 ... daxle Why have you dismissed depression in the past as a condition which can be overcome by sheer will power? And if one is truly depressed, don't you think it's fairly unrealistic to expect them to come up with this kind of will? 020412 ... Dafremen daxle, Depression is one thing, wallowing is another. You would have anyone and everyone that throws their hands up in surrender to be labelled as depressed. In fact, the majority are sad, anxious, overwhelmed and finally, but not by any means least, they feel lonely and neglected. None of these conditions finds its remedy in well-intended pity or sympathy. No, each and every one of these conditions can be alleviated with a dose of healthy perspective. If you would coddle and encourage unhealthy self-pity, I would expose it as unhealthy and discourage its continuance. You would ask them to blubber some more. I would request that they not, and offer a reality checklist to help them stop. You would provide positive reinforcement for a pointless, negative, self-destructive behavior. You would basically encourage them to continue to be miserable in exchange for empathy, sympathy and understanding. I prefer to end the charade before it starts. You seem to think my actions are callous or cruel, at last honesty has a nickname and I guess that you've named it. Thanks for the intriguing although somewhat redundant commentary disguised as a question. It was probably time for a rehash anyhow. 020417 ... daxle how have you concluded so much about what you "know" that I would do in a given situation? you've looked way too far into my question, seeing things that weren't there. Obviously, encouraging people to wallow in their self pity is not helpful at all, and so I would never propose doing that. 020417 ... shit raking rocket scientist Dear Daf; Have you ever thought about taking these diatribes of yours and buying yourself some infomercial time on late night and sunday afternoon cable TV? you ought to make a program out of it.

Toxic_Kisses 1.) Whats your biggest phobia? (and why?) 2.) Where has Cube gone? 3.) When will this war be over? 4.) Who do you admire most? (and why?) 5.) Do you like Bush? why or why not? BTW WB ^.^ 020418 ... stork daddy 1.) what have you got against depressed people? they have enough on their plates as it is. Self pity in small doses is healthy, it keeps one from feeling completely responsible for their dilemmas and is therefore a natural antidote to bouts of grief. The world is against me, i couldn't help but be so lame is sometimes better to say than, i could've done better, but failed. 2.) I'm currently on the cowboy diet of baked beans and pork and coffee and nothing else. I am losing weight but friends complain about other aspects of the diet. Any suggestions? 3.) If you could choose to drown in any liquid, what would it be? 4.) Do you think you can take me? Huh sucker? (That only counts as one question right?) (surely my asking if it only counts as one question doesn't count as a question) 5.) Yesterday i was with my lady, and i accidentally said another woman's name out loud. I immediately followed it up with nine or ten other women's names to make it seem like a joke. Why did this not work? How big can a bruised testicle swell before i should see a doctor? (incidentally enough that line was taken from one of the rough drafts of the song blowing in the wind...yeah...who'd of thunk?) 020418 ... Dafremen daxle, Apparently I HAVE looked waaaay too far into your question. Or perhaps you didn't look far enough into it before you asked it. I mean, you're right, of course, how could I possibly know what you would do? Then again how could YOU possibly know that the aforementioned "depressed" are indeed clinically depressed and NOT just wallowing in self-pity? In the majority of cases I would venture to guess that you CANNOT tell the difference. It follows that you've based YOUR assumptions about what I do or do NOT believe about depression on the hypothesis that the people to whom I have responded in the past WERE in fact depressed. In reality, they could just as easily have been wallowing in self-pity and I think we've BOTH agreed that noone wants to encourage that. I'll tell you what, there's a young lady named trazlo that was TRULY depressed once and I think you'll find my INFOMERCIAL-READY berating style is completely absent from that blather. Shame on you for being so one-sided in your observations of my writing here and for being so quick to judge. I love it. Keep up the good work. : ) 020418 ... Dafremen Rocket Scientist, No, not until now I hadn't. Thanks for the idea, I liked it alot. Look for me on cable access channel 52 Wednesdays at 7PM PST after May 6th. P.S. Spelling is irelephant. 020418 ... Dafremen Toxic_Kisses, Hey there chicklette! Haven't seen you since the party. Did you ever get your pump out of the fondue? 1. Large hairy spiders. I was 5 years old when the "Pet Fair" came to town and the orphanage took some of us kids to see the animals there. I was entranced by the large brown 8-legged chihuahua the man had crawling slowly up and down his arm...until he reached a handful of it toward me, stuck it in my face and said, "Here kid, want to hold it?" I've had a hard time with big hairy spiders ever since. (There was the time I was at the dentists' office and I opened a national geographic magazine and started flipping the pages. When I reached the title page of an article on jumping spiders, there was a LARGE blow-up of one engaging me with an 8-eyed stare. The magazine flew across the waiting room and landed in some old ladies' lap, who spent the next 20 minutes giving me dirty looks.)(I would like to point out that recent revelations in my belief system have left me unable to kill spiders or any living creature unless it is a threat to me. So I've actually managed to pick up a few of the little buggers IN MY HAND and take them outside. Freaked me out anyhow, but YAY for me!) 2. I don't know. I wish I did. I never got the chance to ask him/her what the ALT sequence is to get those co0l subscripted 3s to show up. 3. What war? This isn't a war. This is a noogie followed by a wedgie perpetrated by the world's biggest bully. More bad stuff is coming I'm afraid, dear. Some worse than 9-11. Hope I'm wrong..fear I'm not. 4. That's a really tough question. I HAD always admired my grandfather for being able to hold his own in a conversation. He and I would sit for hours "yelling" at one another. What most bystanders never realized is that we were having the time of our lives. Granted, when you're 67, having a 9 year old logically debate you into a corner can be a bit irritating(which is probably why Grandpa RARELY let me debate him into a corner. Usually we just ended up switching sides. Everyone was puzzled when by the end of the discussion, Grandpa was defending MY point, and I his.) These days I admire creation more than anything. That's the truth too. I would feel silly admiring people anymore except perhaps in a personal, friendly way, definitely not the admiration that one feels for a hero or a role-model. It's not arrogance though</
