Broken but not defeated

I have yet to figure out, but will pursue this certain man whom you all know.I need some advice on how to approach this subject.Should I approach with caution or jump in with both feet?He intrigues me with his bewilderment and I thinks he's confused but maybe just trying to figure me out.Maybe you don't need to know who he is.That's not really not important otherwise you would have presumptions and give me a biased decision.WELL?!
pretty lame, huh?
On to another subject;what do you think about the burning of cd's from the internet?
Do you think the artists' get paid enough that they don't even notice that we're stealing from their pockets right from under their noses or is it a form of free advertising?


selah.

Ahh...one piece of advice here. At the end of a sentence, please use a space before beginning the next sentence. It's either that or the Asylum teachers will have to hold you after class. Thank you, do try again.

Stand up and be counted, I say. Jump in with both feet and while you're at it, burn a few CD's. Amen.

Hi! I'm fairly new here too!!
Burned CDs eh? Well, I doubt it is killing them. It is advertising of sorts, but... If I was to give this an objective opinion, if the artist did not specifically authorize the copying of the music, it is stealing.
This is also something that did not start with the advent of the web, people have been cpoying recordings of music for a long time. It has not had an adverse affect upon the market, in fact I would say it broadens the customer base in a way. I used to have a number of copied cassettes. I invariably wound up purchasing the cassettes of the music I liked so as to have the complete ablum.
So, although I did have pirated music, the artists benefited by it.

Don't argue with me.

BTW, I have always wondered this:

Is it pronounced yosemite like Yose-mite (as in Dola-Mite), or is it pronounced yosemite as in Yosemite Sam?

And is this guy you speak of flocat?

You just sound like a flocat kinda gal to me.

As far as your question goes, you have provided absolutly nothing in terms of neccessary details that I would need to give an opinion.

So my answer is

....um....sure?

(unless it is flocat, in which case I think you should back away slowly, make no sudden movements, and then head for the hills and lay low on berries and vermin for a few years until it is safe to come out)

(And BTW, welcome. You should show us your tits or something.)

Alright, I'll be serious for a minute.

I think, taking the vagueness as a general question, that far too many people are far too cautious in affairs of the heart. A side effect of having such a disillussioned society I suppose. Caution can be valuable at times, but what is it you are afraid of? Generally, caution in love is simply a masked fear of rejection. I mean, if you think that he may be a serial killer or something, I say sure, be cautious. But if the extent of your fears is that he will say "no", life's just too short for that sort of caution. Besides, guys dig chicks with confidence.

I mean, it sucks when a person shoots you down, but it sucks even more to never get that far due to insecurity. Getting rejected for a date is something you regret for a month, never going after that special someone for fear of them saying "no" is something that you can regret for the rest of your life.

Also, when you say "maybe he just doesn't know how to handle me", or whatever, realize that quite often a man has no clue a woman is interested in them. To a woman, an obvious sign of interest is when they brush back their hair or put a hand on his arm or something. To a man, an obvious sing of interest out of a woman is her walking into the room naked. Pretty much everything short of that is ambiguous.

Alright, I admit it, this is just my attempt at getting her tits to be shown. Sorry.

Listen to ol' Paint, Yosemite. He is wise beyond his years when he's fucked up. Amen.
