the glue that holds the universe together
when the day is dragging on...
when the pressure just won't let up...
when i feel like nothing can go my way...
i just think about the one thing that always makes sense. the one thing that just always seems right... the glue to the universe. and "what is the glue to the universe?" you might ask. well, you know the hash symbol? some people like to call it the "pound sign" or the "number sign", but i call it "the symbol formerly known as #". well... the glue to the universe is that this symbol is italicized. it is italicized by nature. well before MS Office had the fancy I button that allowed you to emphasize letters, words, or phrases, the # was doing it all by itself. a trendsetter, an innovator, a symbol not afraid to stand out in a crowd.
the funny thing about # is its italicized state. when italicized as such, #, # straightens up a bit, stands a bit taller than his other slouching italicized brethren (at least in most fonts it does). so when you italicize #, you actually de-italicize it. now how revolutionary is that?
so whenever i'm down in the dumps, i think of good ol' #. a rebel, a pioneer, a slacker by nature. like me.

Well it looks like it didn't take you long to lose what sanity you gained from being back in the states. Are you going to make a movie called "#" anytime soon. It should be like "pi" or the upcoming episode of Lost entitled "?". Which was originally supposed to be directed by the director of "pi". Maybe you can get him to direct "#". Then the circle would be complete.
dude
I would like to know what drugs you have been taking as i think i would enjoy those to, My timewaster now is building a bird database for costa rica and i intend to do it in HTML and make it into a DVD and sell it aorund the hotels in costa rica. Using downloaded photos from the net of course, got most of them from 3 really good sites i found, the rest i am just scrounging from anywhere i can, nearly as bad as #

Yes zac india does make you strange but that's what makes us love you...you are one of a kind...i have no clue what # means but if you think its important to think about it i will...and i don't really think you need the straight jackets yet just a couple of chinese finger locks should do the trick..."finger locks???"miss you and love you....mom2
