down in the drags but im still pure
been lost together, me and my girl
she left me for a mirror image of me
she left me so alone i would be


do you love me or my words?
soft spoken and redeeming
golden or demeaning
in tattered clothes i bare the flag
shot up in galleries same as my dad
went out to bakersfield to see what i'd find
got lost in the desert drinking turpentine


arch your back
curl your toes
eyes dilate
escaping moan
warm breath
soft touch
not enough
not too much
hands pressed
minds collide
all as one
body, mine

think you can beat this? think you have won?
tempt me twice more and we'll dance

who knows what you're bitter heart can unleash
backed up dumpsters and garbage disposals
tethered down to a railroad track, seconds away

i want to scream
but no one can hear me
bound and gagged by suit jacket and tie
beg for forgiveness but pious im not


i can't help this feeling
im uncontrolled
where is my lover
covered in gold

when im standing all alone outside
wearing nothing but that smile

-request to the management-
I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following
reasons: I do physical labor. I work at great depths. I plunge head
first into everything I do. I do not get weekends or public holidays
off. I work in a damp environment. I don't get paid overtime. I work
in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation. I work in high
temperatures. My work exposes me to contagious diseases.


Dear Penis,

After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have
raised, the administration rejects your request for the following
reasons: You do not work 8 hours straight. You fall asleep on the
job after brief work periods. You do not always follow the orders of
the management team. You do not stay in your designated area and are
often seen visiting other locations. You do not take initiative -
you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift. You
don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing
the correct protective clothing. You will retire well before you are
65. You are unable to work double shifts. You sometimes leave your
designated work before you have completed the assigned task. And if
that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and
exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely,
The Management

...ha...ha...ha...
A lonely man decided that life would be more interesting if he had a pet so he went to the pet store and told the sales person that he wanted to buy a very unusual pet.

After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede that came in a little white box for its house.

He took the centipede in the box home and found a nice spot for it.

The man then decided to start things off by taking his new pet to
the bar for a drink, so he asked the centipede in the box,"Would you like to go to the bar with me for a drink?"

...but there was no answer from his new pet.

This bothered the man, but he waited a few moments and then asked the centipede again, "How about going to the bar with me and having a drink with me?" ...but again there was no answer from the centipede.

The man waited a few moments and asked him one more time, this time putting his face against the centipede's house and shouting,

"Hey in there!

Would you like to go to the bar and have a drink with me?"
A little voice comes out of the box:

"I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my fucking shoes!"
Thank you for your cooperation.

a few months ago i recieved a ticket for possesion of marijuana. this rather sucks given that i'm still on probation from drinking before i was 21 (now almost 2 years!)...maybe im biased, but i think they should try to bust criminals who actually commit a crime, not a hapless drunk who enjoys an occasional puff. i work, go to school, pay my taxes and now have to deal with some judge who probably thinks im some sort of deliquent...i admit i may be, but thats not for him to judge without knowing me.

Benjamin worm targets Kazaa

By Matt Loney
ZDNet (UK)
May 20, 2002, 8:00 AM PT

The Kazaa file-swapping network has been hit by a virus, according to security experts.

The Kazaa network is one of the most popular file-exchange networks, with more than 81 million copies of its client downloaded to date, according Sharman Networks, the company that developed the service.

Security software firm Kaspersky Labs said the worm, called "Worm.Kazaa.Benjamin", is the first malicious program to spread through the Kazaa file exchange network, although Gnutella was hit by a proof-of-concept worm in February.

The Benjamin worm was reported to Kaspersky Labs on Saturday. "In terms of data destruction it is not very dangerous," said Kaspersky spokesman Denis Zenkin. "It does not erase any information, but eats up space on your hard disk and it jams the data transmission channels. It becomes harder for the Kazaa network users to communicate because lots of infected data is being placed in their hard drives, and if you look for a game you are likely to be offered a copy of the virus instead."

Benjamin spreads by creating a directory that is accessible to other users of the Kazaa network. It makes numerous--possibly thousands--copies of itself in this directory, using many different names from a list contained in the body of the worm. When a network user conducts a search for a file under a name corresponding with one the worm's pseudonyms, the unsuspecting user is given the chance to download it from the infected computer.

When it is downloaded, Benjamin displays a false error report, warning the user that the file is possible corrupted, but then goes on copy itself into the system directory and creates two keys in the system registry.

As well as eating up free disk space, said Kaspersky, Benjamin opens a Web page, called benjamin.xww.de to display banner ads. On Monday morning the Benjamin.xww.de Web site had a message saying: "Domain closed due to massive abuse."

Benjamin is written in Borland Delphi and is approximately 216KB in size - it is compressed by the AsPack utility. The size of a file can vary greatly as the worm ends each file with random data--called "dust"--for masking. But, said Zenkin, is can be removed relatively easily by deleting the infected files. Antivirus software vendors such as Kaspersky Labs have already updated their products to detect it,
he added.

Sharman Networks could not immediately be reached for comment.

PERSONALITY DISORDER OF THE WEEK


Schizotypal Personality Disorder:
A pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by acute discomfort with, and reduced capacity for, close relationships as well as by cognitive or perceptual distortions and eccentricities of behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

(1) ideas of reference (i.e., incorrect interpretations of casual incidents and external events as having a particular and unusual meaning specifically for the person)

(2) odd beliefs or magical thinking that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, belief in clairvoyance, telepathy, or "sixth sense"; in children and adolescents, bizarre fantasies or preoccupations)

(3) unusual perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions

(4) odd thinking and speech (e.g.vague, circumstantial, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped)

(5) suspiciousness or paranoid ideation

(6) inappropriate or constricted affect

(7) behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar

(8) lack of close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives

(9) excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self

[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), 1998 by the American Psychiatric Association]

Summary:
Ah, good old Schizotypal Personality Disorder! It soothes on a rainy, dreary Monday, doesn't it? Sure, I'm slaving away at my crappy-ass job with no end in site, but at least I'm not some kind of a fucking weirdo!
