That's it. I'm adding Puff Daddy to the main hit list of my Jyhad against the Stupid. It's his fault that rappers seem to think that if they just rip off a song everyone knows, they can make megabucks off the stupidity of their audience. Not that I'm against sampling, it's just different when the sample IS the song. Anyway, Puffy is going down for this one. And if someone rips off "Tommorow," the fit's gonna hit the shan. ;) Oh yeah, and just in case you didn't know: sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell. ;) Laters!

EXPLANATION: It has been a couple days since this happened, so I am more composed to deal with it. This and IT refer to a 'random' act of vandalism committed upon yours fearless and his wife's car on Sunday afternoon. As I go on, you will see why behavior these days makes me sick to me stomach, and honestly, makes me tear. 4:00 pm. Sunday. Central Standard Time. Me, Mrs. FL, and a buddy who was working on our front door steps were all standing in our front yard. Just chatting it up. BEEEEEEE--UUUU---TI----FUL day! Until. A old van comes ZOOOOMing down our street, throws something very potent out of the window and makes the back window in our Camery EXPLODE (and causes damage to the body). ALL of this Right_IN_Front_Of_Us. I was stunned. And I was motionless. I really couldn't believe it. Mrs. FL ran and tried to drive off after them to no avail, they were longgggggone. Side-note: This has happened to me before, 'bout 3 years ago, different Camery. I was home checking mail during the day and a car drove by, kids, and threw something out of the window and damaged the front of my car. I 'quickly' opened the truck, grabbed my Louieville Sluggler and chased after them. Caught up with them in rush hour traffic, Pulled the kid out of the back seat (his brother and friend had locked their doors already) and held him captive. Believe this: the other two kids were (gasp) angry with me because I had this kid hostage. Um, they damaged MY car and want to gety lippy with me. I was H-O-T. Fortunate for me, I had stopped infront of a policewoman's house. I bet people driving by thought they lived in LA or NY! Ha. Check this, the kid was a cop's kid. Man-o-man..... But this time, I froze and didn't catch these kids who damaged our back window. But I literally almost started getting emotional right after that because of how pathetic, we, as a society, have become. Whatever happened to the regular TPing of someone's house? Cranck calls? Ugh. This happened RIGHT in our face and amplified the whole "you don't know how it feels until you become a victim." The thing is, I have been a victim before, and before, and before. Other times when I am NOT around to see you does the damage. One act I can go on and live with, but man, when it keeps happening to you, you get really hard on yourself and ask those questions like...WHY? Here's the kicker. If Kate had been in her baby seat, the object, along with all the shattered glass would have hit her directly. Maybe that's the part which stirs the emotions. Anyway, I write to the list as therapy. I haven't talked about this with any of my family or friends because it upsets me so much. I think it makes me upset because things are not getting better and my children will be exposed to this. IT makes me sad. Thanks for listening. - -me ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1998 18:42:03 -0400 From: Dan Cohen Subject: Re: IS this the only place......???

It's hard to blame anybody for this. You can't blame society because it's just too easy. And that doesn't solve anything to boot. You just have to accept it. But then... You have every right to be outraged. Someone randomly targeted you (that is, unless Jon Richards is on a rampage again :) and it almost hurt the person you love the most. You can replace a car. But a person is unique and special. Generally, you'll find that most people _don't_ throw things out their windows and destroy cars. But the few who do make us all look bad. So forgive them if you can, Erik. People have done things like that to me and my family before and I try my hardest to think that they will never do it again to someone else. Maybe they will, maybe they're sociopathic to the point of no return, but I believe there's good in everyone. Maybe the driver of that car bitched the passenger out after it. Maybe someday he'll get the guts to apologize. Maybe it'll never happen again and you'll have nothing but good things to tell Kate about her world. Gina Senior, who's a regular on Undernet for those of you who don't know her, and I were talking on IRC last night about Michael Shepard, the gay kid who got killed in Wyoming this weekend. Same thing, really. Gina said she couldn't believe what had happened to the world. I said it wasn't the world that scared me, it was some people within it. We love you, FL. This isn't the only place, but it is one of them. I love the understanding of the Rockford Files and the way we all have nothing but respect for each other. Rock on. ~Dan "Lee Marvin!

They are simply amazing and Lou Barlow is the sexiest sensitive boy inindie rock. I envy his wife so much for snagging him. If only I could find my own Lou Barlow, but that's a subject for another post... ~Jen "There is history in this place..." ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1998 22:12:44 EDT From: Vwbugn5890@aol.com Subject: j, lc and b&s i have just been crushed. belle and sebastian who i wanted to see so badly in chicago is on a monday. i hate school. i hate being a minor. it's 18+ to get in the doors. why? why must they exclude the underaged? not everyone is a moshing, crowd-surfing teenybopper. i just want to hear some good music. is that too much to ask? i think not. now i am sad. is jump little children available at just a normal record store or is their cd really hard to find? everyone keeps talking about them and i want to know what they sound like, so i'm going to try to find their cd...just wanted to know how hard i'd have to look. shan "A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain A choice is facing you but i choose to refrain for today Tomorrow we'll be in trouble again" ~ Belle and Sebastian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1998 01:26:52 -0500 From: Jessica Brandt Subject: mmmmrrmmppphh Okay since everyone else gets to make a drunken post, and since i don't drink much, i get to make a stone-ed post. i don't know what to say. can't understand how you freaks come up with that stuff...
