Well in the Real Life Bureau of Bureaucracy I own a humongous collection of paper clips that are scattered throughout our several floors that fellow bureaucrats use and borrow at their pleasure. (w/ due to homage to comedian Steven Wright! 9.gif )

    OMG! So many things we have in common! I never lived in Rogers Park, though I worked in the neighborhood for a while and my grandmother is buried at Rose Hill. I'm missing the degree and my akita 'Oso' is long dead. Our height and weight are similar, as is the description of the s.o., and my newest avatar has a cubs hat (a hat I'm known for here in the NW). Scary!


    Let no one yield, we're on the field where deeds eclipse the sun; where the brave are told on a thread of gold, the tapestry is spun. As they speak of dreams, their armor gleams, this calm before the storm... Where all can see their destiny, the bishop takes the pawn.

    I weigh less then most skinny girls and yet I eat a healthier diet then them.

    I'm double jointed in my legs, so I can fold myself in a way that allows me to hide under furniture really well(my legs bend to ethier side of my body, and the arch of my back is where I put my arms).

    I can scratch any spot on my back.

    I've gotten approx. $500 for family tech support in 2007(one call lasting around 23 hours over a span of two days), in 2008, I made around $780. (I spent 80% of that on food, parking and various fees at college)

    I can read and signal morse code and read braille(but only with my eyes).

    I know enough Esperanto to have a basic conversation(in the strange chance I meet someone who speaks Esperanto).

    I'm not the smartest person here, and I don't get perfect grades, I'm actually quite lazy, but when I have a simple task or something that I'm determined on doing...I'll do it.

    Well it started over the summer, me joining Myspace and instantly getting 3,000 friends in one month. Okay, now I got over 16,000 in 5 months. And Lately I've been getting 1,000 friends a day on average.

     - And know I am #14 Most subscribed Canadian Reporter on Youtube right.

    How did this happen?

    Well thanks to many referrals from famous people I met in real life, and bands, etc. I have finally gotten the chance to be on the Frontpage of Myspace.

    What? Kellydale2003 on the frontpage of Myspace?!?

    Yeah, for those of you who didn't know, my name is Kelly Edwards. I'm a 16 year old Canadian male.
    And recently I've gotten Christmas cards from ALL over the world. My video on that will be up today *(Dec 31 08). And I signed my first autograph on Camera.

    Now everyone knows why I'm so busy. I've been making deals with internet fame and real life famous people. I have a movie premeire that I amateuraly made on Jan 17th.

    - Its been fun, and that's my excuse on why the New World Trade center isn't done 3.gif

    Don't belive I'm on the frontpage?

    Yawn....

    A lesson in humility is probably in order.

    Maybe you haven't had much HUMAN contact, as evident with the number of electronic contacts, but I hope you do understand that this sort of posting isn't exactly a "Wow look at that guy," but more of "who cares." Its clear that your intentions is to be a famous person (although people are questioning authenticity of your claims not related to this post). At the same time, your tone is rather arrogant and obnoxious.

    Personally, I think your priorities need to be reworked. I don't find this to be a rather impressive accomplishment, but a sad cry for even more attention.

    Funny. Your 'movie', which you claim has received quotes such as Best Short Film of 2008 and 5 stars has all of zero references. On the entirety of Google.

    And your plethora of TV appearances? Awards? Acclaim? Can't find a single reference to any of those either.

    Good point.

    Previous several messages were moved from another thread.


    We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyzes: “I am talking with you in order to persuade you.” No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attraction, not proselytizing.    - Pope Francis

    I am always at the exact centre of the visible universe.


    To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.

    My wife is beautiful, and smart as well. I have driven several Rolls Royces, Benzes, and a Ferrari or two, but only as an auto detailer!

    I've figured my salary more than 6 times... and though it's no one's business, I have no male insecurity whatsoever.2.gif

    I have the strange ability to be the last poster on a thread, and be the last post for ages. It has happened a lot... I don't post on threads that have been inactive for months, so that can't be the reason. It's just scary. It's almost as if I have a strange sense for threads that are about to die...
