    <content type="html">I love this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our music is formed from the marrow of creative intercourse. Art for art's sake. Indeed. And just as Artaud taught: our music is a protest against the senseless constraints that reduce "culture" into an inconceivable Pantheon of humdrum, ineffectual lesser gods and puppets of sterility &amp; puritanism. In antiquity, the Theatre was created as an outlet for all of life's repressions and to proclaim to one and all that life's intensity is still intact. Just as light is born from the burning flame, we must fight for the glow. But we warn you, this music, our message, and these lessons are not for every soul. Some will be devoured. Others reborn. Remember, do not slide into bed with the Devil unless you intend to fuck."&lt;br /&gt;-- Otep Shamaya</content>

    <content type="html">Today I woke to your sweet, loving voice&lt;br /&gt;day dreaming and fantasizing about making love to you again.&lt;br /&gt;today will be a day of great ambition and even greater purpose&lt;br /&gt;preparing the way for my love to come home to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after I told you that I loved you and hung up the phone,&lt;br /&gt;i lay quietly in bed, unable to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;So I awoke, ate my breakfast and made some coffee.&lt;br /&gt;I sat down to finish my book, in my beloved Dune saga..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sandworms of Dune&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A story that i love and cherish almost as much as I love and cherish you, Noelia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, without a shadow of a doubt in my mind..&lt;br /&gt;that you are my true love, my soul mate, my everything..&lt;br /&gt;for in all things that I love, they in some way remind me of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to read (write) a passage from the last page of the book,&lt;br /&gt;and entire series of books to you.&lt;br /&gt;It is of Paul and Chani, the two loves of the first book &lt;i&gt;Dune&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the two that were meant to be.. forever&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"..He watched her glide forward gracefully, her red hair blowing behind&lt;br /&gt;her.  Chani sang the walking song of lovers on the sand, her words lilting&lt;br /&gt;beautifully and in a stutter rhythm, like the cadence of her feet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tell me of thine eyes&lt;br /&gt;And I will tell thee of thy heart.&lt;br /&gt;Tell me of thy feet&lt;br /&gt;And I will tell thee of thy hands.&lt;br /&gt;Tell me of thy sleeping&lt;br /&gt;And I will tell thee of thy waking.&lt;br /&gt;Tell me of thy desires&lt;br /&gt;And I will tell thee of thy need.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When they were half way back to the rocks, the wind picked up.&lt;br /&gt;Blowing sand stung their faces.  Paul held onto Chani, doing his best to&lt;br /&gt;shelter her with his own body against the abrasive wind.&lt;br /&gt;     "Yes, a fine storm is brewing," she said, as they finally reached the&lt;br /&gt;sietch entrance and hurried inside.  "A cleansing one."  In the low light&lt;br /&gt;of a glowglobe, exhilaration flushed her features.&lt;br /&gt;     Catching her by the arm, Paul spun her around and wiped sand&lt;br /&gt;from around her eyes and mouth.  Then he drew her close and kissed&lt;br /&gt;her.  Chani seemed to melt into his arms, laughing.  "So you have finally&lt;br /&gt;learned how to treat your wife!"&lt;br /&gt;     "My Sihaya,"  he said as he held her, "I have loved you for five thousand&lt;br /&gt;years."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you are my sihaya (desert oasis/eternal love..), Noelia.  in all things we are one, forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and now i have much to do today.</content>

    <content type="html">i dearly love my loving wife&lt;br /&gt;before her, in my back i had knife&lt;br /&gt;a meaningless existence filled with strife&lt;br /&gt;she pulled out the dagger and completed my life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she brings the intangible aspect of love&lt;br /&gt;an intangible that has been made tangible.&lt;br /&gt;I can see, hear and feel the love through..&lt;br /&gt;her thoughts, words and actions.&lt;br /&gt;no one has cared for me so much before&lt;br /&gt;(excluding family of course)&lt;br /&gt;no one has taken the time to appreciate me&lt;br /&gt;even when im not being as romantic as I could be..&lt;br /&gt;there is this quality there that touches my soul.&lt;br /&gt;it makes my heart flutter, i get that..&lt;br /&gt;butterfly'ish feeling in my stomach every time she calls&lt;br /&gt;or I see her smile in person&lt;br /&gt;not butterflies in the bad way..&lt;br /&gt;but the loving, unexplainable giddy happy kind of way&lt;br /&gt;after all of my failures with women never appreciating me..&lt;br /&gt;for who i am, in the ways that i show and express my love&lt;br /&gt;and never having that reciprocated.. she does.&lt;br /&gt;she expresses it back to me, encourages it from me.&lt;br /&gt;sometimes I dont always know how to express it..&lt;br /&gt;but to know that feeling is there, from her and I speaks volumes&lt;br /&gt;ive never been so madly in love, so deeply and completely before..&lt;br /&gt;it makes me speechless that she accepts me and my love so openly&lt;br /&gt;and wraps it back around my heart with her love.&lt;br /&gt;from the day that I met her the voice in my heart, mind and soul spoke to me again.&lt;br /&gt;like little nudges from God saying "here she is michael, just like i promised you..&lt;br /&gt;you can have your soul mate back now"&lt;br /&gt;its, not been an easy feet for me to describe to her, or to anyone.&lt;br /&gt;i just know.. my love for her simply.. is and grows.  like the sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;its just there, there is no need to explain why its there, its just there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it means so much to me for her to show me so much love and appreciation.&lt;br /&gt;ive felt like all of my life, no one really cared about me.. they were all fake.&lt;br /&gt;and I could always tell.  Things that I did to be romantic.. or to express how i felt..&lt;br /&gt;were brushed off like snow, left unappreciated.. and parts of me died when they did that to me&lt;br /&gt;noelia has never done that.  I can see the smile on her face through the phone,&lt;br /&gt;i can hear the tears welling up in her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;i love the fact that she appreciates it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my friends mock me because I'm always smiling when im chatting with her, or talking to her.&lt;br /&gt;i blather on endlessly about her to them and my family.  they can see how much she means to me&lt;br /&gt;by looking at the sparkle in my eye.  How excited I get when I tell them that i get to see her..&lt;br /&gt;she makes me so happy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i know im not perfect, i need lots of work in lots of area of self-improvement.&lt;br /&gt;having been hurt by so many women for so many different reasons has caused me to..&lt;br /&gt;stay in my shell when what i want to say or express is right on the tip of my tongue.&lt;br /&gt;sometimes i get scared to say it because i fear the rejection.&lt;br /&gt;the funny thing is i know that's not what noelia is like.  i know she loves to hear it,&lt;br /&gt;wants to hear it, craves to hear it.  slowly im allowing myself to be myself again, to open up&lt;br /&gt;and tell her how she makes me feel.  That also makes me love her deeply, that she is trying to allow me to be myself, she encourages it and lets me open to her and not be afraid.  she is not my past, sometimes i struggle with that past rejection.  i appreciate her patience in me.&lt;br /&gt;i love her madly</content>
