I like the film ('The Beach') and I like Moby (the music).

I don't lecture people and don't like mind games. Life is too short. Someone could be having a bad day and if you can cheer someone up, then I see that as a good thing.

AMEN, my friend. We should all strive to be a little more like you. I know I certainly could do better. I'm going to work on it.

Hopefully I can find a decent media player to play all files including DVD and BD for my MBP that works nicely with Sequoia

I'm very active on these boards and love interacting with fellow collectors but sometimes I'm put off by it all. I'll say something, then someone will chime in to debunk what I'm saying or downplay it or, worse, twist my comments around. I do tend to blurt out what's on my mind without thinking occasionally but that's my nature in real life. Lots of people do this, in fact. I don't need people coming in to debunk everything I say. I'm not always in the right and never claim to be so, dammit, stop coming up with counter arguments. It's just conversation.

I bought advanced tickets for an early matinee today for Final Reckoning. But it's bright and shiny and gorgeous out, and now I wish I would have gone riding (mountain biking) instead since I won't be able to get any riding in for the long weekend.

Yeah that's the nature of people, and with the web the anonymity makes it easy for people to speak their mind. There are other tech forums that I frequent, and even just a simple comment where I have no intention for sparking a long-winded conversation can get taken apart piece by piece. And often I'm not the one who continues the debate and other members start taking things out to left field amongst themselves lol. I just try to take it lightly and leave it be for the most part, but I get where you're coming from, it can be aggravating.

If someone asked me what the most beautiful song I've ever heard is, I wouldn't be able to say. A few songs would instantly come to mind but I don't know if I could ever pick the most beautiful song I've ever heard. This one though, this one comes close

In this world we live in now, its easier to tear people down to make yourself feel better than to simply build yourself up.

That is a good song, I can see why you like it.

The one song that always gets me is John Denver's "Annie's Song". Not sure I haven't teared up once when I hear that song. My fiancee loves it as well, and we will be using that song as our wedding song.

You're going to order one sf? When you gulp it down, you'll basically be inhaling a big cup of estrogen. Enjoy!

It’s been too cold here for one. I’ll order it on a nice 80-degree day after a round of golf.

You have to be careful drinking it because they give you a big straw to suck the boba pearls up.
