Any comments are welcome...even encouraged...anyway...here goes November 30, 1999 When Relationships End 1 The words Love and Hate are too often used in our society. Like and Dislike are closer to actual reality. To me Love is forever- Once given, I may never it -sever. As is its reverse, foul hate. Once given, there is no way to avoid this fate. 2 I look at some who once thought they knew love And claimed it destined by Angels high above. Their great love crumbles like sand castles before the tide. Words in anger said and bitter tears cried. They claim to have never felt cupid's arrow. They numb themselves to endure their sorrow, But when that fails they demonize and crucify their partner. They think transmuting Love to Hate is pain's cure. I think this is why when relationships end, Lovers often have a hard time salvaging a friend. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1999 18:09:52 +0100 From: "Dr. RomeAntic" Subject: ET: EDA MUSIC AWARDS 2000... Part 1 (long) OK angels here it is... sorry this is so long, but I wanted to cover everything that might cause some confusion or irregularities... remember this is just part one... the final and decisive one comes December 15th, but it's just as important to participate here to push your favorite music ahead! Last year I decided to try with a slightly bigger poll than usual... and the responce was great... it totally went beyond expectations... people thought it was a great idea and votes kept coming in and the result can be seen on my totally outdated homepage: www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/2009/edas.html but that will come in part 2... Now this year I decided to totally expand this "poll"... and turn it into the EDA Music Awards... and if this goes at least as well as last year's Best Album Of The Year I will definitely make this an Annual thing and EDA Music Awards 2000 will turn into the 1st Annual EDA Music Awards... I've present this to some of you out there and asked you for your thoughts, ideas, suggestions etc and there were no complaints so some new categories were born and the way to vote has changed for some! So here's how ALL OF YOU can participate: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ THE RULES AND GUIDE TO PARTICIPATING IN PART 1 OF EDA MUSIC AWARDS 2000 1. Send me an e-mail with the maximum of 5 nominations for each category below. 2. Here it is not important to send the list in the order of your preference... nominations are equal and it makes no difference if you list them in the 1st or 5th slot!!! 3. And remember ONLY albums released in 1998 and 1999 and songs off those albums that were not released or any other song that was on the charts THIS YEAR are eligible for this!!! So you CAN'T nominate albums like: - Surfacing - Sarah McLachlan - Pieces Of You - Jewel - Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morissette - The Wallflowers - Bringing Down The Horse etc... However if there are some resonable circumstances I'm willing to make exceptions, you just have to write the reason along with the vote... for example... My Own Prison by Creed was released throughout Europe in 1999 so of course it's acceptable to nominate this album. 4. You can vote for any category you wish, you don't have to give nominations for all of them... and if you wish to give only one, it's OK, just no more than 5. If you send more I will only consider first 5 and if you can't think of 5 titles you can always write what you can think of now and send me the rest later. If you can't think of the album or a song title or something don't worry just send a brief description... like: the latest album by ??? I'm not saying I know everything - but I'm pretty much into this and last year it was easy to resolve the "riddles" :)) 5. Of course you can send your nominations 'til December 15th!!! 6. --> The address to send them to is: k4fr0010@kiss.uni-lj.si - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. When sending me your nominations... PLEASE use the format following- these rules!!! - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. There's also a question of what album or song fits in what category! Sometimes it can fit in more than one... and I'm just gonna let you decide how you feel about it. If you wanna nominate Metallica's S&M as the best Country Album Of The Year... go ahead I will accept your vote, and if other people agree hell it can even win for all I care. It reflects your (and mine) opinion and taste, if that makes us silly, stupid or whatever... well so be it! Furthermore if you want to nominate an album that doesn't fit in any of those categories... like a Funk/Jazz/Classical album... you are welcome to create your own category and send nominations, if I receive more such nominations I will do my best to find a category or more most suitable for those other albums. 9. From all the nominations, 5 with most votes will join the 4 major categories and be there for you in part 2, to directly vote for. 10. No e-mail address or voter's name will be passed along to the SPAM-O-MANIA or CHAIN-ME-HAPPY mailing lists. For the best in spam and chain letters you have to be good and work hard throughout the year and who knows I might mention your name to Santa! 11. Only residents of the "3rd rock from the sun" are eligible to enter this poll, and it must be sent from a terminal on this planet. Last year somebody voted from the satellite orbitting around Earth and I just had to accept that as well... so yeah you can vote from Earth's satellites as well, but only the artificial ones... we don't want any votes from the Moon (cause Martians have supposedly taken it over)... there's only so many nominations for Tom Jones one can handle... and 12. If you don't vote you have no right to send me hate mail!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ HERE'S THE FORMAT FOR SENDING IN YOUR NOMINATIONS: (please use it, to make my life easier:) ) First write the name of the category the following nominations are for! The cathegories are: Best Folk Album Best Folk Song Best Rock/Alternative/Metal Album Best Rock/Alternative/Metal Song Best R&B/Soul Album Best R&B/Soul Song Best Rap/Hip Hop Album Best Rap/Hip Hop Song Best Pop/Dance Album Best Pop/Dance Song Best Country Album Best Country Song Best Soundtrack Best Song From A Soundtrack Then write in 1 to 5 nominations in format [#] [Song/Album Title] [Artist] Here's an example for a person who'd only want to send 3 nominations for Best Rock Album and 1 nomination for Best R&B/Soul Song: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Best Rock Album [1] [This Desert Life] [Counting Crows] [2] [The Distance To Here] [Live] [3] [Hey! Album] [Marvelous 3] Best R&B/Soul Song [1] [Bills, Bills, Bills] [Destiny's Child] - -------------------------------------------------------------------- OK... again sorry this is so long... and I hope I didn't forget something!! Send your nominations now and make your music taste matter!

I have a love of my life She only needs to move here All i want is a job that i like I don't want to be rich, or famous Just at peace and in love Support Health. To live out my life with a smile on my face. Today I finally asked a really good question We all should ask ourselves. I wonder if when we all pass away from this life whether or not we will have smiled more than we frowned I mean think about it. All the times you cry, all the times you get angry or frustrated, and all the times you just don't feel happy. I think if from now on I can smile at be at peace until the day I die My life will have had meaning. sorry, I'm very very sleepy I love you Claudia. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 22:07:30 -0500 From: "Analisa" Subject: ET: .....
