Skorch: man is inherently alone. if man cannot handle being alone than he is hanging too hard onto the world, and
he will break down when you take things from him. when a man is alone, you can take everything from him, you
can strip him naked, and he will not cease to be.

all i'm saying is that one should never expect breaks in life. if you have a good thing happen to you, you lucked
out, but you can't expect other people to always be there, for any consistency other than what you can create
for myself.

that's the point of "Cactus"



Cactus!!...you can't take from someone who has nothing...a person alone cannot be more alone...

...and suposedly, you CAN expect some people to be there, even if the rest aren't...

...shall u be, as a cactus, alone, in a desert...sure, tough enough to take this **** on your own...but ignoring those who, although silently, still root for u?...look, all I say is...as pink floyd said...there are still those who bang their heads against the wall...no matter what...

look for them, thats all...they come from everywhere....hell, even the friggin' mountains of PA..."I read your thoughts and find them to be my own"

...don't ask who said that 'cause I made it up.. :)

i e-mailed it to you? i thought i quoted and posted... hmmm...

you're right, i agree with you, but that was the reason why i took the name, cuz when i was making it up i was kind of a bitter person. i'm better now, i met a girl ;) but you know, i'm just explaining =)

Odysseus was the king of Ithaca who came up with the idea of the Troian Horse. It took him 10 years to sail back to his island after Troy fell, because he had angered Poseidon, the god of the see. But Odysseus has nothing to do with Meduse, Pegasus or Chrysaor.

no,
posaidon was angry becasue he was for troya. and since odyseus was the one who beat the troyans with his horse idea posaidon was going and not letting him find home.
i can remember that O. screwed the giant "polyphem"'s eye and stuff. the sirens. calipso... thats all in "homers" (no simpsons) Odysee!

Yes, that's my favorite travesty of mythology! They threw Andromeche's baby off the walls of Troy and he splattered all over the ground. Yum. I think that's why Neop is known as the biggest prick in mythology. That and killling Priam like he did.

My old mythology teacher used to say "He sure made a_hit_on broadway" when ever he talked about Astaynax. hehe.

I fear my nick is kinda... shallow :rolleyes:

I choose a name that supposedly sounded fierce and menacing. I wanted to identify myself as a predator or stuff, yaknow.
Something like that.
The kind of thing a 12yrs-old would come up with ;)

I used to change my nick often when I was younger, but now I stick with it 'cos I didn't ever meet another "Claw", whereas with most nicks I've used I'd be nick457 now.
But there is only one Claw.
(Well, technically there isn't; there are more "Claw"s registered in ICQ than I can count. But I never met another Claw in a chat, forum or game, or met anyone who would confuse me with another "Claw")

So... There is only one Claw. :D

Believe it or not, the game Pokemon. About a year ago I was looking through a Pokemon strategy guide. There was a powerful attack called "Aeroblast". I thought that sounded cool, so I called myself AeroBLASTER. Also, I was into the Star Wars RPG at the time (blasters being the most common personal weapon), so that sounded neat. Before AeroBLASTER I was "FalconX".
