Favorite quote:
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. And then you die. What's that? A bonus? I think the life-cycle is all backwards. You should die first and get it all over with. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young. You get a gold watch. You go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol and party. You get ready for high school. You go to grade school and become a kid. You play. You have no responsibilities. You become a little baby & go back into the womb. You spend your last nine months floating... Then, you finish off as an orgasm. I like it."

<p>moomoo: the alchemist is a WONDERFUL book. i don't know what kind of reader you are, but i personally hate four-hundred-layered-analyze-to-death-here's-what-i-think-the-author's-trying-to-say "literaturrrrrrrre" so the alchemist was a lovely departure from what i have to read for school, or even books that seem like homework when they're not. the beauty of it is that you can read it like a children's book and enjoy it that way, simple and plain, or you can try to understand the symbolism and deeper meaning. i highly recommend it.</p>

<p>dalva26, is 3eb your fav band? Does your username refer to the Dalva Bar? Ooo, we have to chat. I don't know anyone my age who's into 3EB...or even knows who they are. Well, there's always TVCY, but there are older people on that board. BTW, I'm very jealous that you live on the East coast. You get a whole slew of concerts. They'll never come to LA! Well, they did do those shows this week in SF, but I'm not on spring break. This is why I have to move to SF!</p>
<p>I post at TVCY... dalva bar it is. i'm going to all the shows on the east coast but west coast had the 2 shows in SF this week at the filmore that were amazing. they played a bunch of new songs, i suggest you check out TVCY for the boots.</p>
