Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Living a life dominated by conventioanal understanding is like pouring a handful of green coffee beans into a green and white monogrammed 12 oz cup and --without even adding hot water--calling it Starbucks.That's ok, but in the drinking thereof is nothing but sorrow.
