=========================================================================== BBS: The Cutting Edge! Date: 04-07-95 (00:10) Number: 19 From: BLUE DEVIL Refer#: 310648 To: SWEET JANE Recvd: NO Subj: What's the matter her Conf: (19) Nirvana --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SJ³Well, well....coming from someone who has so, so many of the same ³desires (goals?) as you (even going as far as starting to make that ³garage band with you without a garage and a guitarist who would rather ³be playing vga planets...), i think that you, more than anyone i know, ³are the one of us all who can actually pursue these without losing out ³in the end. Maybe it's your quick wit and all that (heh), but you have ³something a lot of us don't possess. The presence you talked about: ³it's not abpout just having one, obviously that's the start, but it's ³about the TYPE of presence you have. BD, you know you affect everyone ³you come near...you are not easily forgettable. Some people will love ³you and others may resent you, but few will forget you, and that's what ³will make you successful. You got to make yourself do it. GOT to. SJ³I don't want you to take this post as one of those pat-on-the-back ³everything-will-be-ok kinda posts.....I do not feel sorry for you in any ³way, and I do not believe you are looking for any kind of sympathy. I, ³however, EMpathize with you because I know how much it hurts to want so ³badly...that spotlight is waiting. Think about the rush you get in ³front of people, knowing they love whatever performance you are giving ³them. You know computers, you know BBSing...all things you can write ³about....but if you want something really fascinating, don't take the ³easy way out for a change.... SJ³When you get down there (and I want to note that, yes, it's GOT to be ³hard leaving all your friends, etc...so it's ok to feel some sense of ³loss there...) just make yourself do it. Vow to try a new life and see ³where the roads take you. SJ³Again, man, of us all, you are perhaps the one who will make it, because ³once you start, you will be persistent until you get what you want. ³And we want it for you. We can all live vicariously through you. SJ³>>>Sweet Jane<<< SJ³the love potato lives on.... --- þ SLMR 2.1 þ ...I only married her for the dup account.
