O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	OK, is this going to happen or not? Has Grumpy even hinted at getting this going? Either way, I think an official post should be made to let our fine members know what's happening. People want to know... AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Donâ€™t get me wrong, I am not fighting to uphold the restraints that give protection to rights fully accrued upon facts so nearly permanent as to be substantially impervious to change, rather I am for the supervision of changing conduct or conditions and are thus provisional or tentative.

We need a another good controversy around here For the road less traveled ain't for the faint of heart For those who choose to play it safe and never stray too far Me I want to live my life and one day leave my mark And it all might come together And it all come unraveled On the road less traveled

O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01	I spoke to Grumpy about it last week, we're not doing things until after the 2nd softball game. No need to make a post about it now. When we have more details worked out we'll begin posting about it. I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands Over The Limit

When we have more details worked out we'll begin posting about it. OK, does that mean if people ask about it, we can tell them some time after the 2nd softball game, or is this top secret BTS info? Oh, and the original 2nd softball game was set for September, but now it may be in July/August, and the third one will be in September. How does this possibility affect the pool tourney? Face, if I was organizing it, it would have taken place on, or near, the first pool tourney last March. It would have been in Hoboken so you could show up again...

O&A Board Veteran Registered: May. 00	I've seen all I want of Hoboken in the last 2 weeks to last we awhile thank you. But I do appreciate your kindness in thinking of me and the proximity to my house of the gathering before planning it. And they all say slash is a mean man. Bah on them. For the road less traveled ain't for the faint of heart For those who choose to play it safe and never stray too far Me I want to live my life and one day leave my mark And it all might come together And it all come unraveled On the road less traveled
