For me, home is where life is.  I'm probably a little opinionated
right now, but check it out.  I've got the right to be.  ( IMHO, and
fer the young'uns ;P )


Life changes on a dime sometimes.  How we deal with it determines a
good-deal about who we are as people I would think.

To be completely honest, I believe your both right and wrong:

  Right:
    Crayon:  (Uhmm?)
    Techie:  Damn -- How many colors of Crayon do I have to choose from?
    Rap:  Check yourself.

  Wrong:
    Crayon: Woops.
    Techie:  A job is good - but is it real?
    Rap: (Uhmm - lotsa ideas here.  Even metal TBS. ;-)
