Translation for 140 languages by ALS
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowline.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail.
Explore. Dream. Discover

Why I still write letters


Talking online, which is to say, typing, is the most common way to not be yourself nowadays. People have sooooo many "friends" online they don't know what to do with themselves; but they know enough not to meet face-to-face because then the spell is broken.

Dennis Raymond got so incensed when his AOL chat buddy refused to hook-up like normal real people, which is to say, face-to-face versus emoticons (smileys) that he stabbed her dead as she sat in a Bronx park on Tuesday. The weather was nice on Tuesday...perfect for enjoying the park...but I digress. And Dennis Raymond---aka Mike to his AOL friends---gives new meaning to reach out and touch someone.

With "friends" like that I'll take a computer virus any day.
