Now I am much more balanced and clean. This alkaloid saved my life.
Agreed... but I have always followed the law (except DUI go figure). Fortunately the government has let that Genie out of the box and it isn't going to go back in. I am just going to wait until it sweeps across the midwest. Just like casinos it WILL happen. One love

I think it's a natural reaction when you've dealt with something for so long and finally get it under control. I felt like a completely different person for a while when I stopped feeling depressed on a daily basis, almost as if I had been transported into someone else's mind.
That's messed up that your username is FNM because when this all started back in late-april/may I had an urgency to listen to Faith No More. No joke and I have no reason to be untrue but 99 percent of all music that I have listened to since then has been Faith No More and I haven't really listened to them with vigor since college in the early and mid nineties. Furthermore... I felt drawn to the song "The Real Thing" for some reason even though I had made a CD of FNM tunes listen to in the car of which that song was NOT on the disk I have NEVER wanted to know the lyrics to "The Real Thing". About ten days ago I looked up the lyrics and almost got sick with pleasure when I read the last three verses. It was like someone grabbed a piece of my mind and put it on a paper. Once again... you will not meet anyone else who is more grounded in reality than me. Even the "connections" that people attribute to people like ghost whisperers were, to me, entirely within the realm of mathematical probablitiy and statistics as to be explained away with ease. If you have a similar belief would you PM me? It even has me a bit tweaked out but my criteria is almost impossible to test. Please don't think I am a freak. thx

RE: Is it possible to be "born again" without faith?
Just what are you trying to test? I like devising tests, sort of a puzzle thing for me. Let's do some mf'in science up in this piece!
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
