Where did it all go wrong, Vanya? LOL later i decided i just wanted to be sean connery from indiana jones

amusingly, watching that movie that night before i signed up for classes my first year of college was the whole reason i ended up studying russian language and history for the next two years - I wanted to be sean connery (as a russian)

sheeeeit, that dude tried to run for president pretty much on that line only

that makes sense, like most poets i'm broke, and like most barbarians, i'm the one who takes out the trash every tuesday night

and yet stalin is still held in high regard by russians today? the soviet revolution seems a great example of how few revolutions change anything - repressive governmetn was already a hallmark of russian history, and it seems to be something russians, for whatever reason, have contented themselves with. stalin secularized the language and justifications, and used the modern tools at his disposal to carry it all out - i'm not certain peter the great would have been any different - jesus christ, didn't they just throw a couple of chicks in the clink for 20 years for saying mean things about putin and the fucking church? what's changed?

excellent route name, mou druk!

that don't quite look like the western gorge?

guess i'm one of the few - i geniunely could give a shit - reading about climbing is like watching porn - you're usally only taking in a small portion of the whole thing, and so long as it's got titties, it's all good - at any rate, it's hardly something to obsess over, unless you feel like your own sex (climing) life isn't enough to keep you satisifed...

kevbone as "beatard agnew" on bass!

seems logical that the same crowd that brought us the magical domino theory, long since swept into the dustbin of history, might have made the soviet boogey-man out to be a tad worse than he really was - that said, i met a chick once who'd grown up in the ukraine in the 30s and ended up in auschwitz in the 40s, and she hated stalin far more than hitler

come climb my bolt ladder w/ me saturday - i'll even let you lead! and bring blackie, as i won't be suprised at all if multiple bird beaks have become, um, unsound geoff's in too, so i'll be sure to have my lawn chair, down-parka, and coffee carafe - if'n you could manage the tobacco and i502 gear, i'd be mighty obliged!

oliver stone said stalinism was cool?

reading "a bridge too far at the moment" - not sure if a book on economics would be best for my bedside

i for one, would enjoy the site n' sound of the 'bone hiking to that point above big ledge and serenading the fornicating falcons w/ some romantic tunes on his g'itar in order to get them birdies to the act already so they can piss off lickety-split

sorry, it never freezes in the gorge

And yet you made it through Beowulf. Sicko. there's a sliiiiight difference in length, senor - that, and for b-wulf, it's all about the translation - seamus hanney slapped enough lipstick on the pig to make it porkable for me i reckon...

still in the market for a beacon partner saturday - mostly sunny, maybe no wind, and fine late-afternoon sun on the n-side rock usually in said conditions...

i was thinking seahawks, what w/ the region and all, but okay, sure, reckon that more properly'd be 'hawks

I am the Kwisatz Haderach... sorry, i never could make it through the books, but i thought hte usa made-for-tv movie said somethign 'bout that not being true in the end? what would sting tell me today?

40 years w/o vodka - utter madness - missing out on the joys of stalinism *might* have been worth the sacrifice though?

i can understand why people would hate the EC - i mean, it's practically the same as ED, amirite? and "college" - holy shit, books are for nerds n' fags! if it was the "electoral grid-iron of champions!!! " we'd have no problems at all

if only we had a gubbiment as good as our people!!!

given my frequent state of mind and the state of the road when i'm coasting through there, i'm gonna bet it's the fear of almighty god and the instinct of any penitent man that birthed the appellation

blazers v hawks, such an intriguing and appropriate metaphor for the beatard conundrum! i especially like that neither side is playing the same sport

Your smart enough not to stupidly ignore my point, irrespective of how inconvenient it is to your myopic world view. i must indeed be myopic - shit talking a man who is actively being stupid seems appropriate, and ceasing to shit talk after said man admits a mistake does too - where did i miss your point?
