Well, since my grandfather doesn't speak Chinese, I think it's safe to assume he isn't calling me chicken meat. At least, I hope he isn't.

Whew!!
This is a messsage for Kaiachi-
Not to sound like a parental unit or anything but ah was just going to react to your downer news rant at the beginning of Issue four page four. Be carefull how you mold your future. To speak as if everything goes wrong no madder what you do is fool hardy. Don't get me wrong I used to do the same when I was feeling down. But it only prolongs the suffering(samsara). Sorry about your haonda, Iv'e been running a 160 or so paper rout to help pay the bills. I get up at three thirty in the morning drive to the drop site, roll papers for forty five minutes. Get my bike out of my wonderfull 85 toyota minivan and deliver them as such. My shoulders ach I only get three to four and a half hours of sleep at a time....and the pay is bugspit. But It helps take care of expenses. Sunday papers are huge so I deliver the whole rout from the car. After my saturday morning rout, I drive an hour and a half to a bigger city on a major river that runs north(one of two in the world)and sell hand crafted stonewear tiles that my mother designed and of witch I do all the work at an open air craft market under half under a bridge and betwix some oldtown buildings. I don't live with my mother. I'm a third generation ceramist but my happyness and love of work is for a mix of drafting feng shue like architecture and engeneering put to comic book media to inspire the youth into affirmative action.Shen can be weilded, words have manipulative power, so be carefull of what you state if it involves the next hour. <P>------------------

</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yeah, I know I shouldn't talk that way, but sometimes I can't help myself. When I get really depressed like I have been this week, I can't see through the darkness. I've had problems with clinical depression all of my life. My moods go up and down like a rollercoaster. I think I must have some kind of psychosis. One of my doctors prescribed Xanax for the depression, a long time ago, and I threw them away.

I now have no transportation, except for the few times I can beg someone for a ride into town. Our nearest neighbor is half a mile away. The temperature out here is often well over 120 degrees F, so even if I had a bicycle (which I don't), I couldn't ride it 14 miles in that kind of heat. I couldn't ride it 14 miles in any weather condition, since I have heart trouble. I'd probably keel over before I got five miles. (~-^)<P>Anyway, since I don't know how to fix my problems at the moment, I whine about them. Whining makes me feel a little better. I'm sorry, though, that you guys are having to listen to me whine and moan about stuff all the time. I'll try to write less depressing stuff in my rants.<P>Kaichi

Anywhos I was hoping you could tell me where or what specific graphic converter program you have and use. could you do that for me? Sencerilly a fellow artist striving for time to devote.
