Realistic and objective? Get a grip.

"When World War II ended, Winston Churchill immediately understood that the victory was incomplete. Half of Europe was occupied by an aggressive empire. And one of Churchill's own finest hours came after the war ended in a speech he delivered in Fulton, Missouri. Churchill warned of the new danger facing free peoples. In stark but measured tones, he spoke of the need for free nations to unite against communist expansion. Marshal Stalin denounced the speech as a "call to war." A prominent American journalist called the speech an "almost catastrophic blunder." In fact, Churchill had set a simple truth before the world: that tyranny could not be ignored or appeased without great risk. And he boldly asserted that freedom -- freedom was the right of men and women on both sides of the Iron Curtain. " (Pes Bush Speech 02/04)

I feel that this freedom belongs to the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. It takes time, just hang in there with your short sighted remarks and defeatist attitude, but please stay out of the way.. It takes real people with intestinal fortitude to stomach the reality of what was happening in Iraq six months before the war.

I stand by my comments that your focus is your reality.

Or as they say in China Town

Suzie, what do you teach? Maybe you said it in an earlier post? My knee is back to "normal" It was just for that one night. It does that every once in a while. Thanks for asking.

Baduh, hello dear, how are you?

It's a beautiful day outside today. I think I'll go play. I'm going to need to get out my hip waders if I stay on here. This shit is getting deep.

Happy Birthday Zinc Master !!

OME...I used to play out quite regularly. Right now I'm in search of a new group of people to perform with. The band I was with never quite improved at the level I had hoped. So I took some time to myself to write, and am ready to perform again...always have my eyes open.

Oh yeah, new experimental demo, well not new new but i figured it's probably new to t2j. just a little techno thingy I came up with...

Suzie2000 It was interesting to me to hear that you teach special students and are currently working with a class of autistic boys. That takes a very special person, so you must be one! Being any kind of teacher takes a lot of patience, dedication and a love of kids, and in this day and age, it's getting harder and harder to educate around what happens to them in their real life.

I have an elementary education degree and have worked with pre-schoolers through 8th grade. It was exhausting work but so rewarding. I'm currently a social worker now, helping the elderly and disabled to continue living in their own homes as long as possible.

I also have an autistic son, he was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Autism, and the challenges in working with him have been huge. I so respect and admire what you are doing, as I have some idea of what you face each day. With my son's diagnosis this year (he's 16, so it's been a long time coming) I finally have some answers and have learned so much about better ways of dealing with him. That's not to say I don't have a lot of grey hairs, dyed of course!!

He started playing guitar in Jan 2002 and hasn't ever stopped. He's very good and is dedicated to making music his life. Playing the guitar transports him to a place he can relax, enjoy and get lost in the emotion of music. It calms him down as nothing else can when he's upset. He is so inspired by Satch, as many people are.

Cheese 101- thanks so much for your post, that cheered me up!

Working with the pupils I do does take quite a bit out of me patience-wise, but I do enjoy it, it is a lot of fun sometimes, as well as very hard / trying. But interesting at all times, certainly never boring! I spend much of my time trying to pre-empt things, and work out what goes on in their heads - what it is that sometimes sparks incidents off.

That's interesting to hear about your son, glad you got the Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis through- even though it's a shame the diagnosis wasn't earlier, at least you have it now. Knowing what some of our kids at school are like, I have some idea - but only from my point of view- of how tough it must have been bringing up your son. That must take so much patience and hard work! Not to mention with your difficult job on top of that!

I'm glad to hear your son plays guitar, what an excellent outlet for him! Although Joe knows his music touches many people, I bet he'd especially love to hear your son's story.

If I ever go to Klamath Falls area I'll be sure to look it up. Take it easy,

Suzie

Cheese101- hope this isn't a dumb suggestion, but have you read the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time" by Mark Haddon, by the way? If not- it's written in the eyes of a teenage boy with Asperger's, I thought it was very insightful, a really excellent read. I'm not sure how widely published that book is, not even sure if it's a British author, but think so as it's set in England.

Hello, this is my second visit
And would love very much to take advantage of this opportunity to say,,
Hello to Mr. Satriani whom I believe makes my every day with his most excellent tunes indeed,, ratt-on! The Sat Man! And Gang!

Hey Suzie2000!!

Hi to everybody!

Michelle: I'm with yah sister. This is just getting too much lately. I got my hip-waders on too! hehe! ;-))

OpticalStudio: I'm glad I was able to help you feel better Steven. Hang in there, I'm here for you! ;-)))

WEBMASTER: I was wondering when the Jones Beach Photos I sent to you on Sept. 11 will be posted? Soon? Much Thanks Jon!

Alexandrecaetano: How are you? Good Luck with your workshop! I hope it goes well. Friendly kisses and hugs to you! ~~~~Sea Eyes~~~~

Later peeps! Have a great weekend!

Hello everybody! Happy Saturday, happy Saturday!

JS_JS: lol

michelle: I did not get to meet Joe Mama. I left after both the shows. There were too many kids waiting to meet Joe! I have some pics of me and Joe that I probably should send to the webmaster...hows the weekend? This is the best weekend I ever had!

Optical Studio: You deserve it man, you totally deserve it! Keep cheering up, I know its hard but hope is all we've got here...

962: I think London would be a pretty good spot for ewjs. I think he should give it a try. Maybe Tony Blair can sponsor him instead of wasting his time with Bush! If you can, download Blackest Eyes and Trains by Porcupine Tree. Trust me man, they will blow your mind!

DammMissNamm: It was a pleasure talking to you too and I will definitely checkout the club. Exploring new bars is always a hobby!

Fretslayer: Good first DVD choice. My first DVD was Marilyn Manson Guns God N' Government. It was overdubbed like crazy so it sucked. But my first 'real' DVD was The Exorcist.

Cuthbert: Dude, those chinese hooters chix are HOT! woof! woof! Thanks for those entertaining links!

Suzie: Thanks so much!

Delfino: The golden Guitar spoon! Yes, a lifetime dream come true! Thanks man!

Achoo: I will be there around 6:00 probably.

Alexandre: The Waves of Life is amazing! Good work man!

The bad luck post.....ugh
