Hey, everybody is enslaved to *something*. Materialism is a
good thing to be enslaved to: you get more and better stuff.

Nicq man, we all feel that way sometimes. Depression is our
list's lowest common denominator. The sun will come out, if
you wait for it. It always does. If you are really in bad shape,
there are medications. Ask the guys!

When you feel this way, just remember that the pawns dont
get pushed around any more than the other pieces. Hell, the
bishops and knights get it a lot more than the pawns do. And
pawns only get pushed five or six times before they get an
orgasm.

Ill tell ya a way out, bud: go to the airport, buy a ticket for Taxifornia,
come on out, join the party. There are lotsa greenies out here.
The government here is just as bad if not worse than Minnesota,
but at least the air is warmer. {8-]
Look around you, Nicq! Living in the 21st century is just too cool!
So make like Tigger: woo hooo woo hooo! If you're not having
fun, make a change! Do something else! Email me a resume,
we'll get you outta that funk. {8-] spike
