    Archmage Atlantis: Hello, Aria, Lulul, Ms. Aph
    Aphrodite Macbain: I guess I'm sitting like a guy too!
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hey arch
    Lulu Lacrima: I see at least one avatar seated likewise, but she doesn't appear to be a guy
    Aphrodite Macbain: I believe Yaku can't make it today
    Archmage Atlantis: Yea, Lulu, I am......gay, but still on the guy side of sterotypes
    Lulu Lacrima: lol, gay/guy, tiny/furry, centaur/mermaid....it's all good
    Aphrodite Macbain: Thanks Arch

    Aphrodite Macbain: He must be cuddly
    Lulu Lacrima: always cuddly...except in the mornings when he thinks it's time for me to get up & serve him...or when my attention is focuse on the computer
    Archmage Atlantis: My cat of 19 passed away in my arms...soon after Chester cam to be here in the rl
    Lulu Lacrima: *focused
    Arisia Vita: welcome znk
    Archmage Atlantis: His name was Nimbus
    Lulu Lacrima: archmage, that must have been a difficult experience, to say goodbye to Nimbus
    Lulu Lacrima: I don't like thinking about saying goodbye to Frodo....
    Lulu Lacrima: weleocme znk
    znk Resident: heya
    Aphrodite Macbain: Hey Zon. Our new Guardian!
    Aphrodite Macbain: Yayyyy
    Archmage Atlantis: There is a continuity of life
    Aphrodite Macbain: saying goodbye to a pet is as hard as saying goodby to a human
    Archmage Atlantis: of the soul
    Archmage Atlantis: imo
    Archmage Atlantis: Anyway, that works for me to see it that way
    Aphrodite Macbain: so you feel Fredo's soul will continue Arch?
    Lulu Lacrima: yes, archmage, that is true....but there can be only one...Frodo...he's been through a lot, and I mean a lot, wit me
    znk Resident: death is a mystery
    Lulu Lacrima: *with
    Aphrodite Macbain: Has he Lulu?
    Lulu Lacrima: has he what? been through a lot with me?
    Aphrodite Macbain: yes
    Lulu Lacrima: yes, oh yes
    Aphrodite Macbain: wow. Like what kind of thing?
    Lulu Lacrima: moving at least five times, consoling me in an abusive relationship, and being the cat that everybody who ever meets him says "That's the coolest cat I've ever met"
    Archmage Atlantis: that is a big smile, Luu
    Lulu Lacrima: :-)
    Lulu Lacrima: a true treasure of life
    Lulu Lacrima: besides, he's warm and soft
    Aphrodite Macbain: and beautiful I would think
    Lulu Lacrima: all black, except for the old-man soul patch
    Aphrodite Macbain: Is he called that because he looks like a Bengal tiger?
    Lulu Lacrima: err
    Lulu Lacrima: that must be for archmage
    --BELL--
    Aphrodite Macbain: oops sorry. too many cats!
    Aphrodite Macbain: This is why I was confused:[13:21] Lulu Lacrima: mine's named Frodo [13:21] Arch (archmage.atlantis): He is a resue Bengal
    Archmage Atlantis: I go to a group in rl now..........(thought bump).....All last 4 cats were Bengals.....bred from SE Asian Wild Cats with domestic calt by ppl who were willing to love both.
    Lulu Lacrima: aphro, I can see the confusion
    Aphrodite Macbain: ah, so it's their breeding
    Lulu Lacrima smiles at purr
    Archmage Atlantis: I go to a group in rl now....the pple there are disabled
    Lulu Lacrima: Arch's cat's the Bengal, mine is the 21 year old
    Archmage Atlantis: As am I
    Lulu Lacrima: I would love to participate in animal "therapy"
    Aphrodite Macbain: How would you participate Lulu?
    Lulu Lacrima: is that what happens with your group, Archmage?
    Lulu Lacrima: Aphro, I would bring the animal(s)
    Aphrodite Macbain: ah
    Lulu Lacrima: and help them receive attention from those who would like to....
    Archmage Atlantis: Lulu, I am allowed to be honest about my life, my thoughts, that which I feel
    Lulu Lacrima: I'm thinking more of the elderly than the disabled
    Aphrodite Macbain: There is a great program on TV called dogs with jobs...
    Archmage Atlantis: And to talk
    Lulu Lacrima: of course, archmage
    Aphrodite Macbain: many gogs play that role of companion - gentle abd affectionate
    Aphrodite Macbain: and
    Aphrodite Macbain: they are selected and trained
    Aphrodite Macbain: and make so many people happy
    Archmage Atlantis: I never expected to crap out of being involved this early in life
    Aphrodite Macbain: cap out of being involved with what Arch?
    Lulu Lacrima: what do you mean archmage?
    Archmage Atlantis: I love that youger ppl are being stirred up to do, to protest, to vote
    Lulu Lacrima: surely you can vote, arch
    Archmage Atlantis: Creation is not yet done
    Archmage Atlantis: I always vote, Lulu
    Lulu Lacrima: oh, that reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Chaim Potok...
    Aphrodite Macbain: dont give up too quickly arch
    Archmage Atlantis: no matter what
    Lulu Lacrima: (which I will now have to look up)
    Aphrodite Macbain: what did Chaim say?
    Aphrodite Macbain: lol
    Lulu Lacrima: his eloquence cannot be captured by my own words
    Lulu Lacrima: but basically his point was this:
    Lulu Lacrima: that the act of Creation is never done, because the Creator requires that we humans complete his own creation
    Arisia Vita: beautiful thought Lulu
    Lulu Lacrima: that the Being of the Creator requires us to sustain Its existence
    Aphrodite Macbain: biological imperative...
    Archmage Atlantis: Yes, I agree, Lulu....we are not only creations.....we are agents of creation
    Lulu Lacrima: Arisia, I am not a religious person, but I believe very strongly in the message that Potok was delivering
    Lulu Lacrima: but arch, we are BOTH agents AND creators
    Lulu Lacrima: let me take a minute to locate the quote
    Archmage Atlantis: Yes Lulu....but my political leanings require me to say "job creators" are not
    Aphrodite Macbain: ??
    Arisia Vita: while Lulu searches, consider this one from Star Trek...
    Arisia Vita: The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity, and the ways our differences combine to create meaning and beauty. Star Trek,"Is There In Truth No Beauty?"
    znk Resident: in truth is beauty and goodness
    Archmage Atlantis: Gene Rodenberry
    Arisia Vita: yes, from the original series

    Agatha Macbeth turns on her translator
    Archmage Atlantis: U are all welkommin toFt Myers Naples
    Archmage Atlantis: If Mohammed cannot go to this mountain
    Archmage Atlantis: I shall ask the mountain to come to me
    Aphrodite Macbain looks at the mountain from her window

    Aphrodite Macbain doesn't notice any movement
    Agatha Macbeth: Tell him to watch out for Islamophobes
    Archmage Atlantis: mountain move over milennia
    Archmage Atlantis: Aph

    Agatha Macbeth: Truly
    Archmage Atlantis: Odd equipment, to my thought
    Archmage Atlantis: humans are odd
    Lulu Lacrima: sorry I was mentally absent today
    Agatha Macbeth: Good job too Arch
    Archmage Atlantis: or oid, ad in dr. who
    Lulu Lacrima: that quote had a very important influence on me
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm like that all the time Lulu
    Lulu Lacrima: ty Agatha
    Agatha Macbeth: yw
    Archmage Atlantis: ye bitches be

    Archmage Atlantis: How do jumans deal with this time thing?
    Wol Euler: badly, often
    Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    Korel Laloix: Or so well that is annoys other people.. grins
    Agatha Macbeth: One way is to pretend there isn't any
    znk Resident: waves
    Archmage Atlantis: If one is given eternal life.......that is not eternal pleasure, or knowledge
    Agatha Macbeth waves to Znk
    Wol Euler: agreed, arch
    Wol Euler: nor even eternal health, let alone eternal youth
    Archmage Atlantis: nod
    Agatha Macbeth wonders whose chimney Wol will slide down
    Wol Euler rembers the myth of the Greek who tricked the gods into making him immortal, but forgot to ask for eternal youth
    Wol Euler: so he lived forever getting older and older, smaller and dried up and wizened, until he became a cicada
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Lulu Lacrima: this is not the full quote, but it's good enough for now:
    Lulu Lacrima: it comes from The Gift of Asher Lev: "Without man, what is God? And without God, what is man? Everyone needs the help of someone to complete the work of Creation that is never truly completed:
    Agatha Macbeth: Did he rub his back legs together?
    Archmage Atlantis: Whose chimney is most deserving of Woll, Aggie?
    Agatha Macbeth: Well, hopefully one with no fire in the grate :p
    Wol Euler: (not Santa, just an ... um ... assistant)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Agatha Macbeth: Satan's little helper?
    Lulu Lacrima: and I'm secular
    Wol Euler: or that
    Wol Euler: hello luci
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Luci
    Agatha Macbeth: nice to see you
    Lulu Lacrima: but the point of that quote is that the relationship between the personal and the spiritual is mutual
    Archmage Atlantis: One can be both
    Archmage Atlantis: religious
    Lucinda Lavender: Hello all:)
    Archmage Atlantis: and secular
    Wol Euler nods to Lulu
    Lulu Lacrima: hello Wol
    Lucinda Lavender: ice to see you all...
    Archmage Atlantis: if i jump over a cliff, and i survive, i can tell others what was behind door number 3
    Lucinda Lavender: n
    Eliza Madrigal: Hi Luci
    Archmage Atlantis: mixed metaphor
    Agatha Macbeth: Or consult the lemmings first
    Lulu Lacrima: here's another beauty:Human beings do not live forever, Reuven. We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity. So it may be asked what value is there to a human life. There is so much pain in the world. What does it mean to have to suffer so much if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye? I learned a long time ago, Reuven, that a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something.”
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Agatha Macbeth: Who's Reuvan?
    Lulu Lacrima: the protagonist from Chaim Potok's "The Gift of Asher Lev"
    Archmage Atlantis: I I blink one of my eyes to you
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, thx
    Archmage Atlantis: the others, i hold
    --BELL--
    Lulu Lacrima: he's an orthodox jew who cannot prevent himself from creating art
    Lucinda Lavender: brb
    Eliza Madrigal: powerful book
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like my kind of Jew :P
    Lulu Lacrima: yes, Eliza, I was very deeply moved & have since read everything Potok wrote
    Eliza Madrigal: though as I sit here I have it mixed up somehow with The Chosen... love those sorts of religious catharsis writings...
    Eliza Madrigal: Graham Greene another (Oh, sorry bell)
    Agatha Macbeth: Don't we all Liz?
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe so :)
    Lulu Lacrima: The Chosen and the Gift of Asher Lev are, in my opinion, Potok's best works
    Agatha Macbeth: Ooops
    Agatha Macbeth: Wol crasheth
    Eliza Madrigal: without leaving out the really heartache/grit of life
    Agatha Macbeth: and there's plenty of that
    Eliza Madrigal: yes
    Archmage Atlantis: Can rap be symphonic?
    Lulu Lacrima: why not?
    Agatha Macbeth: I hope not
    Lulu Lacrima: heavy metal has been made symphonic
    Agatha Macbeth: I prefer music
    Lulu Lacrima: to an extremely high quality
    Archmage Atlantis: Or is the symphony the true rap?
    Agatha Macbeth: Put a c in front maybe?
    Korel Laloix grins
    Lulu Lacrima: agatha....awww
    Korel Laloix: There is some good rap.
    Agatha Macbeth: There is?
    Korel Laloix: There is no good jazz though.... smiles
    Archmage Atlantis: Yes Aggers, there is
    Agatha Macbeth: We'll exchange notes sometime K
    Lulu Lacrima: have you heard snoop dogg's version of the theme to the TV show "Monk"
    Lulu Lacrima: not symphonic
    Archmage Atlantis: took me decades to see
    Agatha Macbeth: Thank God no
    Korel Laloix: No.
    Lulu Lacrima: well, it's great
    Archmage Atlantis: prob the best debate for long life
    Lulu Lacrima: compare it to whatshisname, the musician who wrote Short People
    Korel Laloix: Here is some good rap.
    Lulu Lacrima: aaahghghg
    Korel Laloix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3w2MTXBebg
    Agatha Macbeth: Who is so famous I don't even remember him
    Agatha Macbeth: ty K
    Lulu Lacrima: randy newman
    Korel Laloix: YOu won' thank me after you listen.
    Archmage Atlantis: Likes Lutes, Film at 11
    Agatha Macbeth: I remember Paul newman
    Lulu Lacrima: so randy newman wrote the theme song to Monk, and Snoog Dogg does this great cover
    Lulu Lacrima: Paul Newman = actor, Randy Newman = musician
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh right
    Agatha Macbeth: Silly me
    Korel Laloix: Never heard of either.
    Lulu Lacrima: anyhooo, just an example of how rap--hip hop--can be totally mainstream
    Archmage Atlantis: I give my life force to my children......tho I have none
    Lulu Lacrima: Korel, you've heard Randy Newman's music, but you just didn't realize who it was
    Lulu Lacrima: I have no children
    Lulu Lacrima: does that mean I have no life force?
    Archmage Atlantis: To me, Lulu
    Korel Laloix: There is a chance I have not actually... my tastes are very narrow.
    Archmage Atlantis: It means there is a wider pool
    Agatha Macbeth: Think you showed me that before K
    Archmage Atlantis: to whm I am given the gift to give
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Korel Laloix: lol
    Agatha Macbeth: I must watch Darth Vader v Hitler sometime
    Korel Laloix: lol
    Korel Laloix: Chuck Norris vs Abe Lincoln is nice as well.
    Archmage Atlantis: chuckles at Aggies DV comment
    Agatha Macbeth: You don't know the power of the dark side Adolf....
    Agatha Macbeth: Anyways....
    Agatha Macbeth: Looks like Wol ain't coming back, so I'll move on
    Agatha Macbeth: Shalom
    Archmage Atlantis: I am male, in thought, genetics and hormones....the darkest side is the decision
    Eliza Madrigal: Hugs Agatha :) Shalom
    Korel Laloix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s32or...eature=related
    Korel Laloix: This is one of the few rapsongs I like.
    --BELL--
    Archmage Atlantis: listening Korel
    Korel Laloix: One of my biggest issues with rap is the strong sexism and violence.
    Korel Laloix: Not everyone does it, but not one in the community appears to protest either.
    Archmage Atlantis: I listened to the entire song/video
    Korel Laloix: Not for everyone.
    Korel Laloix: I mainly listen to religious music, but not traditional forms.
    Archmage Atlantis: My mother would have found a way to force those bullies to be respectful.
    Archmage Atlantis: And that has nothing to do with color.
    Archmage Atlantis: She would have demanded respect.
    Korel Laloix: It is just odd I think.
    Archmage Atlantis: She gave me the strenght to be a gay man in a south US
    Korel Laloix: I used to listen to some rally bad metal as well, so I can't really complain I guess.
    Korel Laloix: A lot of rap is very ungay friendly for sure as well.
    Korel Laloix: There are some genres of music that I just can't stand.
    Korel Laloix: But when the lyrics are bad, then I really avoid.
    Eliza Madrigal: Hm :)
    Korel Laloix: The dont love us anymore.
    Eliza Madrigal: alas
    Korel Laloix: OH well.
    Eliza Madrigal: maybe Arch had to feed the gators
    Korel Laloix: Hopefully not with himself.
    Eliza Madrigal: heheh
    Eliza Madrigal: Do you ever write, devotionally, Korel?
    Korel Laloix: IN my journal I do quite a bit.
    Korel Laloix: My religious journey has been full of great commedy i think.
    Eliza Madrigal: Nice :) songs at all? poetry?
    Korel Laloix: WOuld not mind putting that down soetimes.
    Korel Laloix: Just main thoughts.. things to look up.
    Korel Laloix: When Ideas come togethere.. when I embarase myself... smiles
    Eliza Madrigal: yes you have a very real/raw way of being with your experience that is inspiring
    Eliza Madrigal: (should be comma in the middle of experience and that) :)
    Eliza Madrigal: humor so important too
    Korel Laloix: Not sure inspiring is the word... but thank you.
    Eliza Madrigal: the foibles of life
    Korel Laloix: I feel more like a freekshow a lot of the time.
    Eliza Madrigal: left out of much religious sharings
    Korel Laloix: There is some great humor in the Bible.
    Korel Laloix: And some of teh best vicars are real comedians.
    Eliza Madrigal: what do you find humor? ...like jonah ?
    Korel Laloix: Some of the internal struggles.
    Korel Laloix: The song of solomon is a bit cheesy romantic.
    --BELL--
    Eliza Madrigal: I love the Song of Solomon
    Korel Laloix: The imagry is very lovely.
    Eliza Madrigal: You and Geo may not have crossed paths here much, but he has such a beautiful way of talking about 'the beloved'... calls prayer the pillowtalk of lovers....
    Korel Laloix: But my word, times have changed.... grins
    Eliza Madrigal smiles
    Eliza Madrigal: well, Solomon does sound like a sufi in some ways...
    Korel Laloix: No, not much .
    Korel Laloix: I have a sufi friend.
    Korel Laloix: ANd les.... a very funny woman.
    Korel Laloix: Wish about as many problems as I have.
    Eliza Madrigal: devotion comes from deep dark places :)
    Korel Laloix: And deep light places.
    Eliza Madrigal: yes :D
    Eliza Madrigal: but something seems to spark a longing...
    Korel Laloix: Very hard to describe feelings and expereinces.
    Eliza Madrigal nods
    Eliza Madrigal: worth the effort
    Eliza Madrigal: :)
    Eliza Madrigal: I was thinking about this strange biblical story the other day....
    Korel Laloix: It helps clarrify things fo rme at least.
    Korel Laloix: Which one?.. There are several.
    Eliza Madrigal: there was a prophet... and he was told to marry a prostitute...
    Eliza Madrigal: and basically 'act out' a message from god to god's people
    Eliza Madrigal: some peculiar tales in there, but very interesting :))
    Korel Laloix: Yes.
    Korel Laloix: But TI hink it is there for a reason.
    Korel Laloix: OK.. think I am going to ry and have a nap now.
    Korel Laloix: Thanks for the chat.
