Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.<br /><br><br />(Posted on Nintendo DS running [url=http://cryst4lxbands.blog.com/2010/01/31/will-the-r4-or-r4i-work/]R4 Card[/url] DS ccPost)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-51819461924997284212008-04-05T20:27:00.000-04:002008-04-05T20:27:00.000-04:00KJ-that's great, not boring.

I think part of our current problem, both with finance and spirit is that we've been so busy amassing that we haven't looked at what or why we were doing it.Debra Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455047894767524091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-64526897307414376142008-04-01T18:02:00.000-04:002008-04-01T18:02:00.000-04:00Good on you!It was so boring that I read it from b...Good on you!<BR/>It was so boring that I read it from beginning to end.pieterbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410340506959326985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-44027179594292878002008-04-01T08:18:00.000-04:002008-04-01T08:18:00.000-04:00anon, you are more fascinating every day! i admir...anon, you are more fascinating every day! i admire you...kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-82624496392761010322008-04-01T03:38:00.000-04:002008-04-01T03:38:00.000-04:00I kept thinking of folding and tucking between a m...I kept thinking of folding and tucking between a matress when reading your poem KJ ... not just money but me!

I love the imagery of the banks folded up like paper and piled up -- awesome. And the last section is my favorite ... the torching of the house combined with the ice cold beer and the suitcase, free of the worries.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093282449753003894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-13694104354878920672008-03-31T16:16:00.000-04:002008-03-31T16:16:00.000-04:00Not at all boring KJ!An excellent, interesting and...Not at all boring KJ!<BR/><BR/>An excellent, interesting and enjoyable poem!<BR/><BR/>So many great line - my favourite?<BR/><BR/>"My pockets jingled with counterfeit faith"Miladysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065128196666157541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-53156356581912732442008-03-31T16:15:00.000-04:002008-03-31T16:15:00.000-04:00hello kj - thanks for flying in and leaving a co...hello kj - thanks for flying in and leaving a comment about my Kookie *!*Bimbimbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427788003822538655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-81779834589764182632008-03-31T15:47:00.000-04:002008-03-31T15:47:00.000-04:00ok, kj, this could be a very boring post. and your...ok, kj, this could be a very boring post. and your readers won't likely tell you so, except maybe that best friend of yours might teach you a lesson or two.....kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.com
